范文：
From the picture, we can see that a school sets two different levels of classes and their tuition fee varies greatly between them. The fee for an ordinary class is only 500 yuan while that for a special class amounts to 5000 yuan, which scares students from poor families. We can also perceive that the conditions for the two classes are of discrepancy.
Such a phenomenon has begun to emerge in the recent years, that is, schools push forward different teaching programs, leveraging different prices, and the “better classes” bring considerable profit to schools. Yet, the core value of education is equality, and every student has the right to receive the same quality of education. In reality, the number of key schools in China is limited, while all parents want their children to enroll in programs with better teachers and facilities. Thus, it is convenient for schools to categorize students according to tuition fees.
Just as the famous educator Confucius said, there is no class discrimination in education. This mentioned classification rather ruins a normal educational system and hinders its development. Therefore, I think it is high time for the related institutions to take measures and create fair educational opportunities for all children.
译文：
从这幅图中我们可以看到一所学校设立了不同水平的班级，其学费也相差甚远。一个普通班的学费仅为500元，而一个精品班的学费竟达到了5000元，吓走了来自贫穷家庭的学生们。我们还可以看到两种班级的教学条件也存在巨大的差异。
这种现象主要出现在近几年，即学校纷纷推出不同价格的教学计划，那些所谓的精品班给学校带来了丰厚的利润。但是，众所周知，教育的核心价值在于平等，每一个学生都有接受相同质量教育的平等权利。可是在实际生活中，中国的重点学校数量有限，而家长们却都希望自己的孩子能够进入那些有着更好的老师和设施的班级中。因此，学校自然而然地就通过不同的学费来给学生分类。
正如的教育家孔子所说的，教育是不分阶层的。上述的这种分类有损于一个正常的教育系统并影响其发展。因此，我认为现在是时候通过有关部门采取措施、为所有的孩子们创造平等的接受教育的机会。

范文：
The drawing depicts a little girl who wears a pair of thick glass. She is forced to stay in this “ivory tower” which can be explained by the lots of homework in front of her on the desk. Instead of concentrating on study, the poor kid is dreaming of the outdoor sunshine and fields, craving the fun of running wildly outside.
Apparently, the artist aims at a serious problem occurring in the educational circle. That is to say, students bear on their shoulders overwhelming homework despite the country’s campaign for quality education. Such a practice is very harmful. Firstly, too many assignments can only stimulate hatred towards study among students. Secondly, brain labor takes place of physical exercise, which is detrimental to children’s’ health, particularly their eyesight. Last but not least, students’ creativity tends to be repressed due to the humdrum and dull homework.
In my point of view, homework is an indispensable method to help children study, but it is only part of the whole picture. Children deserve outdoor activities, from which they can benefit enormously. Not only do their bodies get adequate movement, their minds can also be greatly improved by an intimate contact with nature.
译文：
这幅图刻画了一个戴着厚眼镜的女孩子。她*呆在“象牙塔”中，摆在她面前的是一桌的作业。可是她并没有在集中精力学习，而是想着外面的阳光和田野，渴望在野外疯狂地乱跑。
很清楚作画者意在指责当今教育界中的一个严重问题。虽然我们国家一直倡导素质教育，但是孩子们肩上的作业负担还是非常沉重。这对于孩子们有很多不利影响，主要是以下几个方面。首先，太多的作业会在学生当中引发一种厌学的情绪。其次，脑力劳动取代了身体上的锻炼，对孩子们的健康非常有害，尤其是他们的视力受到很大损害。最后，学生们的创造力在单调乏味的作业压力下受到极大的压抑。
我认为，作业是一种促进孩子们学习的必要方法，但并不是全部的方法。另一方面，孩子们需要进行户外活动，这对他们非常有好处。他们的身体因此得到了充分的运动，同时在与自然的亲密接触中他们的智力也将得到巨大的发展。

范文：
Almost everybody who lives in the urban areas of China is familiar with the phenomenon shown in this picture. The gate of a school is blocked by dozens of cars that belong to the loving parents who send children there. However, a teacher, who rides bicycle to school, finds difficulty in entering the gate because the cars leave no space for him.
This picture sharply points out two serious problems existing in today’s educational circle. The first one is parents’ blind pampering of children. Though it is a universal truth that parents always desire to grant kids with the best stuff available, we should bear in mind that convenient facilities bring temporary comfort but perhaps life-long laziness. The second issue addressed is the depressing social status that teachers enjoy. Despite the fact that teachers take charge of such an honored mission of enlightening humans, they are usually looked down upon and receive small salaries. It is a big contrast compared with their wealthy students.
These attitudes of indulging children and disrespect towards teachers should arouse more opposing voices. On the one hand, the society demands a generation that fully comprehends how to lead a self-sustaining life. On the other hand, for teachers’ priceless contribution, they should be rewarded by due attention and more benefits.
译文：
每一个住在中国城市地区的人对于这幅图描绘的景象都十分熟悉。学校的大门前挤满了轿车，都是慈爱的父母们来送自己的孩子上学。可是，一个骑车来学校的教师却无法进入校门，因为根本没有空间可以让他进去。
这幅图尖锐地指出了存在于教育界的两个问题。第一个是父母对于孩子的盲目溺爱。尽管父母希望把能够得到的东西都给孩子，我们也应该牢记便利的设施可能带来暂时的舒适、却会造成孩子们的懒惰并导致他们持续一生的坏习惯。另一个问题就是教师的社会地位非常低。尽管教师承担了启蒙人类的光荣使命，但是他们却经常被人看低，而且工资也非常少。这与他们那些富裕的学生们形成了鲜明的对比。
这种宠爱孩子和不尊重教师的态度应该引起更多反对的呼声。一方面，社会需要的是一代能够充分理解如何自立生活的孩子。另一方面，教师们为我们做出了无价的贡献，我们应该给予他们更多的关注和利益。

【篇四：民工子弟上学问题】
1) describe the drawing briefly,
2) explain its intended meaning, and then
3) state your point of view.
范文：
As we can see in the picture, a school built for migrant workers’ children is much shabbier and poorly furnished compared with a key public school. The two schools are geographically close to each other, which makes for a sharp contrast.
There are several reasons for this phenomenon of the picture. Firstly, urban public schools always ask for sponsor fee amounting to thousands of RMB for the enrollment of a migrant student, which is quite beyond the latter’s financial capacity. Secondly, migrants find difficulty in integrating with city life culturally and emotionally. They fear that local students would look down upon and bully their children. So they prefer poor schools exclusively for the migrants’ children. However, the teaching conditions in migrant schools are really dissatisfactory, as there is usually no classroom for music, painting and computer, not to mention library or laboratory.
Since migrant workers are contributing vastly to the social and economic development of cities, they should be rewarded with deserved rights including impartial education opportunities for their children. Therefore, it is an urgent task to build up an integrated educational system for migrant children. As children are the future of our nation, creating a good environment for their upbringing means creating a bright and promising future for our nation.
译文：
正如图中所示，一所专门为外来子弟所建的学校相比某重点中学显得十分破旧矮小。这两所学校在地理上非常相近，正好形成了鲜明的反差。
图中现象的产生有以下几点原因。第一，城里的公立学校每招收一个民工子弟就要收取几千块钱的赞助费，这远远超出了后者的财力。第二，民工发现在文化上和情感上很难融入城市社会。他们害怕自己的孩子会被城里的孩子看不起、受欺负。所以他们宁可把孩子送到只招收民工子弟的穷学校。但是，这些民工学校的教学条件十分差，没有音乐教室、图画教室和计算机教室，更不用说图书馆和实验室了。
民工们为城市的社会和经济发展做出了巨大的贡献，因此他们应该得到应得的权利，包括他们的孩子接受平等教育的机会。因此，为民工子弟建立一个统一的教育制度是一项非常紧急的任务。孩子是一个国家的未来，为他们的成长创造一个良好的环境意味着我们国家将有一个美好和充满希望的未来。

【篇五：农村父母的感叹】
1) describe the drawing briefly,
2) explain its intended meaning, and then
3) state your point of view.
范文：
The picture shows a boy who is crossing a river by stepping on his peasant parents’ heads like stones. The river symbolizes the heavy financial load on rural parents to support their children’s advanced education. As is quoted in the picture, a family in countryside can barely afford a high school student, not to mention a college student.
The picture apparently mirrors an increasingly common social phenomenon in China—the hiking cost of education in contrast with the tiny income of the rural population. For one thing, the problem is partially attributed to the present disparity of wealth distribution. Sometimes the college tuition per student equals the annual income of a rural family. For another, colleges and other educational institutions fail to provide financial tools to assist students from poor areas. For example, the application for scholarship and student loan is usually so complicated that the procedure seems to take forever, while students see no trace of money.
In my opinion, the government needs to reform the educational system with measures that can show immediate effect. Cutting tuition and other expenses proves to be most beneficial to students. Further, a large-scale reform at the macroeconomic level to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor is a basic solution to this issue.
译文：
这幅图一个男孩子正在把他的农民父母的头作为垫脚石来跨过一条河。这条河象征了农村的父母们为了供孩子们接受高等教育所承受的巨大财政负担。正如图中所说的那样，在农村养一个高中生都很困难，更不用说是大学生了。
这很显然反映了在当今中国一个越来越普遍的社会现象——快速增长的教育费用和农村人口的微薄收入之家的差别。一方面，这个问题部分归咎于现有的财富分布不均。有时候一个大学生一年的学费就相当于一个农村家庭一年的收入。另一方面，大学和其他的教育机构没有通过各种各样的融资工具来帮助来自贫困地区的学生。比如说，申请奖学金和贷款的程序都非常复杂、需要花很长时间，而学生们却很难真正拿到钱。
我认为，政府应该改革教育系统，采取一些立竿见影的措施。降低学费和杂费被证明是对学生最有利的。此外，解决这个问题的根本措施在于在宏观经济的层面上进行一个大规模的改革，从而缩小贫富差距。

拔苗图
范文：
What is delineated in front of us is a pair of parents who are eager to cultivate their little child into a well-rounded person. The poor girl seems to have a quite tight schedule, as her father is teaching her how to paint while her mother is preparing for her violin class. The dullness of the kid’s eyes portrays her unwillingness and dislike to learn so many things after school.
The drawing reflects a common phenomenon in China that parents are obsessed with the wish of their child’s future success, which is, though, very understandable. Particularly due to the one-child policy, the only child is the greatest hope of parents and is provided with all the available resources. Meanwhile, we sadly discover that this generation of only children is deprived of what used to be the fun of childhood, like running around, playing various games with friends, and climbing trees, all of which are replaced by numerous tutoring courses and art lessons.
Admittedly, an early and diversified education benefits children in exploring their potentials. Nevertheless, I strongly contend that children are entitled to enjoy a happy childhood filled with games and fun, instead of tedious classes. An appropriate extent of freedom can only do kids good, by promoting their comprehensive development both mentally and physically.
译文：
呈现在我们面前的是一对急于把他们的小女儿培养成为一个通才的夫妻。这个可怜的小女孩看起来时间表排得满满的，她的父亲正在教她画画，而母亲正在为她准备小提琴课。但是，这个孩子呆滞的双眼却泄漏了她不愿意在放学之后还学这么多东西的心情。
这幅图反映了一个在中国很普遍的现象，即父母们都望子成龙，尽管这是一个我们都能够理解的现象。由于独生子女政策，这些孩子们都是父母的希望，父母给了他们一切可以得到的资源。同时，我们却悲哀地发现这一代孩子被剥夺了属于儿童的快乐，如四处乱跑、和小朋友们玩各种游戏、爬树等，这些都被无数的辅导和训练代替了。
我们承认较早的多样化教育有利于开发孩子们的潜能。但是，我强烈地认为孩子们应该拥有一个充满游戏和快乐的童年，而不只是乏味的课程。适度的自由对孩子们是有好处的，可以促进他们身体和智力上的全面发展。

不对，我的标准答案是2+1=3，扣十分
范文：
As is described in the drawing, a student fails in a knowledge competition simply because his answer to one question, though being 100% correct, is not exactly the same as the so-called standard answer. It is discernable that other students are quite puzzled by why “1+2=3” is wrong while “2+1=3” is right.
The drawing reminds its audience of a widespread phenomenon in the area of basic education in China, that is, educators stick blindly to fixed standards without allowing any room of flexibility or variation. Students are required to mechanically remember what is written in the books, but receive no encouragement to question, challenge, and disagree. Consequently, children’s creativity is largely limited or killed, which exerts a detrimental impact on their future development, especially in the current society which puts so much emphasis on creativity, innovation, and inventiveness.
As far as I am concerned, there needs to be a comprehensive renovation in the educational system, where new educational concepts, such as to inspire creation, are installed. Only by new teaching methods other than stiff memorization can we cultivate children into talents who will meet the requirements that society demands. Likewise, this new tendency would also benefit educators themselves to realize their own potential.
译文：
正如图中描绘的那样，一个学生在一次智力竞赛中的失败仅仅是因为他的答案和所谓的标准答案不是完全一致，尽管他的答案也是完全正确的。我们可以看到其他学生对于为什么1+2=3是错误的而2+1=3是正确的感到十分疑惑。
这幅图实际上是在提醒读者在中国基础教育界存在的一个普遍的负面现象，那就是教育者盲目地坚持标准，而不提供灵活和变化的空间。老师要求学生们机械地背诵书上的知识，但是从来不鼓励学生质疑、提出挑战或者不同见解。因此，孩子们的创造力受到了限制和扼杀，这对于他们的未来发展是有害的，特别是现代社会十分强调创新性和独创性。
我认为需要对教育系统进行一次全面的革新，加入一些新的教育理念，如鼓励创新等。我们只有通过新的教育方法、而不是死记硬背， 才能把孩子们培养成为适合社会要求的人才。同样，这种新的趋势对于教育者自身也是有好处的，能够使他们开发自己的潜能。

【篇八：温室里的花朵经不起风雨】
1) describe the set of drawings, interpret its meaning, and

You should write about 200 words on ANSWER SHEET
真题分析：
这又是一组对比的组图，非常简单明了。两张图的大背景都是暴风雨交加的恶劣天气，在左边的图中，花朵在温室中绚烂地开放;而右图中，同样的一朵花在离开了温室之后就黯然凋谢了。组图题为“温室花朵经不起风雨”，考生稍加分析就可以发现该图并不只是谈论花朵，而更是指向了我们平时所说的“祖国的花朵”们，也就是孩子们，这就自然而然地和社会问题联系在了一起。中国在实施了计划生育之后，独生子女们成为了家里的“小皇帝”、“小公主”，受到全家人的百般呵护，从小就在蜜罐中长大。这些孩子们人生道路几乎都是一帆风顺，没有经历过大的困难和挫折，因此一旦离开了父母的保护，就很容易由于经不起各种社会现实的打击而一蹶不振。通过这番分析，我们就可以得出文章的主要论点，即受到过分溺爱的孩子们经不起挫折和逆境。
思路拓展：
独生子女成长的问题在很大程度上牵涉到了中国的教育制度和教育方法等全方位的问题。我们可以联想到现阶段在教育界存在的其他热点问题，如传统灌输教育和素质教育之间的关系、孩子的学习和娱乐之间的关系、学生们的全面发展问题、教育费用和教育负担的问题、教育质量的问题、城乡教育制度差别的问题、教育公平性问题等等。这些问题都是平时政府、民众和媒体非常关注的问题，考生借助自己的大学生活背景也能够了解许多相关的情况。应该说，教育类的话题对于考生说是一个比较熟悉、也相对比较简单容易的话题。
范文：
As the title indicates, “greenhouse flowers cannot survive unpleasant weather”, the set of pictures apparently reminds us that excessive protection only leads to negative results. When a flower blossoms in the greenhouse despite of the external rain and thunder, it withers immediately once being moved out of its cozy haven.
Children in China are always compared to “the flowers of our motherland”. It is alarming that a large portion of them are in danger of experiencing a similar misfortune to the flower in the picture. This is partly attributed to the birth of a generation of “only children”, who are quite pampered and spoiled by their parents. Leading a life full of success, love and sweetness, these children are quite ignorant of failure, hardship, and the taste of tears that abound in real life. Therefore, when they leave home, they might be overly sensitive to frustration and easily suffer depression that prevents them from a happy and promising future.
This type of child is not what we hope for the future of our country. On the contrary, we need to nurture a generation that is fully prepared for independent life, so that it is ready to confront any challenge, adapt to changes of environment, and survive the heated competition in today’s world.
译文：
正如该图的题目所显示的那样，“温室里的花朵经不起风雨”，这组图画清楚地告诉我们过度的保护只会导致负面的结果。当外面打雷下雨的时候，一朵花却能在温室中生机勃勃地开放。可是一旦离开了这个舒适的避难所来到外面的时候，这朵花立刻就凋谢了。
在中国，孩子经常被比作“祖国的花朵”。但是，令人担忧的是很多孩子有可能经历图中花朵的不幸。部分原因可以归结为“独生子女”一代的出生，这些孩子都被他们的父母惯坏了。他们的生活中只充满了成功、爱和甜蜜，而他们都不懂什么是失败、艰难，也很少尝过眼泪的滋味，但是实际生活中却是充满了失败、艰难和眼泪的。因此，他们可能会对挫折过于敏感、也很容易及沉湎于忧郁，使他们在踏入社会以后没有一个幸福和充满前景的未来。
这一类孩子决不是我们国家未来需要的人才。相反，我们需要培育一代能够独立生活的孩子，他们随时准备面对任何挑战、随时适应环境的变化、并能够在现代社会的激烈竞争中生存下来。

范文：
This picture is actually a poster advertising for the cultural exchange activities between China and France. As it is nicely designed, we can see that the campaign includes performances of traditional dance, opera, drama and other forms of art from the two countries. Surely the poster can excite public attention for such a splendid exchange.
As a matter of fact, the poster portrays merely a diminutive part of China's endeavor in the recent years to advocate its own culture to the rest of the world. A careful survey help us discover that our country is actively engaged in hosting “Year of China” activities in lots of foreign countries. During that one year, citizens of other nations can have access in their neighborhoods or communities to live performances of the unique Peking Opera and other Chinese operas. There are also exhibitions concerning Chinese painting, music and cultural relics that succeed in arousing great enthusiasm for China among common foreigners.
In my point of view, cultural communication is an indispensable supplement to further promote China's political and economic exchange with the world. Political exchanges give care compassions, and money, to economic exchanges. Therefore, such activities can greatly help smooth China merging into global community.
译文：

实际上，这幅海报体现的只是中国在几年来向世界宣传其文化活动的一个极小的部分。如果我们做一个仔细的研究，就会发现我们国家正积极地投身于在国外举办所谓的"中国年"活动。在这一年中，各国的民众可以在他们的社区中欣赏现场的演出，包括独特的京剧以及其他中国戏曲等。此外，还有许多关于中国绘画、音乐以及文物的各类展览，这些都成功地在普通外国人中激发了对于中国的热情。
我认为，文化交流是促进中国与世界的政治与经济交流的一种必不可少的补充。这是因为，前者给后者那种纯粹的利益交换增添了更多的人情味。因此，这些活动能够极大地促进中国融入到世界中去。

北京人学英语
范文：
This picture describes an old Beijing resident’s encounter with a foreigner on the subway. The old man is learning English, and he seizes the good chance not only to practice English but also to ask some questions. From the picture we can perceive that the foreigner is also very happy to do him a favor.
The harmonious atmosphere conveyed in the picture is quite stimulating, implying that Beijing is becoming a more international and friendly city. Moreover, the whole country of China is opening her arms to embrace a world that is witnessing strong globalization. Against such a background, Chinese citizens are presented with a lively stage for more frequent and in-depth communications with people from the outside world. Especially at the eve of China’s hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, studying English, for instance, is no longer a business of the youngsters, but of those of all ages, occupations, and social status.
In my opinion, this tendency is very encouraging. That is, Chinese people are increasingly interested in the rest of the world, and are quite willing and ready to befriend foreigners. Consequently, it can enhance not merely economic trade but more importantly, culture communications. With more mutual understanding, China and the world can both anticipate a brighter future.
