提纲包含了三个部分,这篇文章可以分为四段来写,其中末段是结语。真实写作中前三段可以与提纲有明显的对应关系,这样的安排思路清晰,易于把握。
Sample:
In the pictures; we see clearly a person who claims to begin his grand scheme tomorrow。 In the first picture; he claims that he will begin tomorrow because he is not yet well prepared today。 In the second picture; when tomorrow really es; he again says he will begin later because he is not feeling well at the moment。
What can we say at seeing such pictures? We can always find excuses for our mistakes; failures and inaction; but how can we make real progress in our life? We will never ever grow up if we keep on finding excuses instead of looking directly into the matter; analyzing the situation objectively and taking action as soon as possible。
Delay has a lot of bad consequences。 In many cases; we will lose the chance to succeed forever。 Time is limited; and so are youth and enthusiasm。 When we form a plan; we should always try our best to put it into practice immediately。 We should not worry about failure; because we can always learn from it。 Only if we keep on trying and never stop; will we make progress and eventually turn our dream into reality。
The important thing in life is to have a great aim and the determination to attain it。 Without action; a great aim will be nothing more than a castle in the air。
点评:
第一段分别描述了两幅图画,独特之处在于首先将两副图画的共同之处提取出来——描写一个人说明天就要开始宏伟的计划,而后分别描述两副图画的不同之处——这样做的好处是使段落的条理清晰。
第二段的首句使用了设问句,一下子引起了读者的兴趣,而后自己给出答案——我们总是能为错误、失败和无行动找到理由,可是我们又怎能取得进步呢?这个句子中使用了平行的名词和反问句,效果强烈,非常引人注目。该段第三句进一步说明,使用instead of强化了对比关系——如果一直寻找借口而不是直接查清事实、客观分析情况和尽快采取行动的话,我们永远也无法成长。注意句中否定意义的表达:
We will not grow up if。。。
We will never grow up if。。。
We will never ever grow up if。。。
在上述三种表达方式中,我们可以看出,最后一种不仅语气强烈,而且极富韵律。
第三段先说了拖延的坏处,而后说了我们正确的做法。
最后一段做结,共两句话。第一句是引用了歌德的名言,而第二句是反过来说——如果没有行动,伟大的目标就只能是空中楼阁。
心得:
要想写好文章,就要先写好句子,再写好段落。文章大的结构的确定是不难的,关键是写好单个的句子后再将它们有机地组成完美流畅的段落。
第三段就是一个好的例子,这一段分成两个部分,各有三句话,有机地结合在了一起。第一句先是讲拖延有很多坏处,第二句直接解释第一句——在很多情况下,我们就永远失去了成功的机会。注意这句话的写法,首先,使用in many cases表示“在很多情况下”,显得客观,因为不是所有的情形均是如此。其次,使用forever表示“永远”,加强了语气,并且恰如其分地指出了人生的悲怆,点出了韶华易逝的真谛。第三句是对第二句的补充说明——时间是有限的,青春和激情也是如此(句子的后部使用了倒装)。第四句笔锋一转,说明我们一旦有了计划,应当全力以赴立即将其付诸实践,注意这里使用了immediately,是反过来与该段的第一句话进行呼应。第五句说明我们不该担心失败,因为我们总能从中学到东西。末句是以only开头的倒装句,说明行动和结果之间的关系,语气很强。

这篇文章的提纲与2002真题类似,属于最晦涩的一种,但是经过仔细分析后,我们将发现文章结构并不难把握,一种好的选择是——第一段描述图画,第二段对绘画者的意图进行推测,第三段对第二段做进一步说明,第四段下结论。
这里面至关重要的是第二段与第三段的关系。通常的情况是前一段就事论事或泛泛而论,后一段进行概括总结、提炼升华。
Sample:
This picture sets me thinking for a long time。 The parents themselves are playing mahjong; but they are telling their little child loudly: “Work hard。 Don’t let us down。”
The drawer reminds us of a mon social phenomenon。 Nowadays; more and more parents wish children to study hard in order to embrace a brilliant future; but many of them do not know how to turn this dream into reality。 We e across many parents who ask their children to attend all kinds of training classes; but is it that important in the making of a good student and later a successful person?
What is really important; according to the drawer; should be something else。 That is the environment created by the parents and felt by the child。 How can a child grow up into a scientist who loves research when the noise of playing mahjong is always there? Actions always speak louder than words。 If parents turn off TV and family cinema; stop all noisy games and get down to reading quietly; the positive impact on the child will be considerable。 In the years to e; the child will gradually learn concentration; which is an essential part of the learning process。
Across the nation; parents are investing more and more money on the education of their child。 If they have a closer look on the learning process; they will know what is important is often how they behave; not how much money they spend。
点评:
首段的描述非常简洁,与众不同的是第一句话——这两副画让我思忖良久。
第二段的首句是一个常用的模板句,非常有效。第二句话说许多家长望子成龙,却不知如何实现这个期望。而后举了一个例子,许多家长让孩子参加这样那样的培训班,但是这在孩子成材的过程中就那么重要吗?
第三段是文章的关键段落。该段首句是过渡句,引出了下面的关键句子——重要的是环境,是父母创造孩子感知的环境。而后使用反问句——当一直有麻将声时,一个孩子怎样能成长为热爱研究的科学家呢?而后使用谚语——行胜于言。如果父母关掉电视,开始读书,对孩子的正面影响将是巨大的。最后说在以后的数年中,孩子将会逐渐学会集中精力。
最后一段做结,分两句。第一句写父母大量投资在孩子的教育上面。第二句表示递进,如果父母仔细审视学习的过程,那么他们将知道,重要的是他们的行为,而不是投入的钱。
心得:
句子中的好的用法一定要日积月累,这很重要。第三段的首句中有插入语的用法。第二句有名词由两个平行的过去分词短语修饰的用法。第三句中的when the noise of playing mahjong is always there是个精彩用法,表示“一直有噪音”,如果说没有噪音,可以说when the noise is down。第四句是个谚语,需要平时积累,注意使用时务求准确。第五句在条件状语从句中,有平行的动宾结构。本段最后一句中in the years to e是个好词组,表示“在将要到来的数年中”,之后有非限制性定语从句的用法。

这篇文章的提纲是图画作文另一种非常典型的提纲,在描述图画后分别给出该现象(或问题)的原因及其解决办法。这里在提纲中虽没有出现interpret the meaning(阐释含义)的字样,实际上这个步骤是不可少的,但可以做得极为简洁。
Sample:
In this picture we are surprised to see a group of fat children who want to lose weight at a dieting center。 We can’t help asking such a question: why are there so many overweighted young children in present society?
In my belief; many reasons contribute to this undesirable result; but three of them play the dominant role。 In the first place; with the development of national economy; people’s living level bees higher and higher。 Grandparents and parents devote all their love to the young children; who consequently often take in much more nutrition than necessary。 In the second place; more and more young boys and girls are even addicted to foreign snacks; which contain too much fat and thus do great harm to the heart and the vessels。 Last but by no means the least; pressure from teachers; parents and the whole society often leave
