審題：
我們拿到題目后，首先要分析圖畫和提綱所構(gòu)成的語境。對于全體考生來說，一個圖畫可能有不止一種含義，不同的寫法都是可行的，都可能得高分，如2004年考研作文“溫室里的花朵經(jīng)不起風(fēng)雨”就既可寫孩子教育問題，也可以寫入世后的部分中國企業(yè)的情況。但是對有些圖畫來說，有的理解就肯定是錯誤的，如2005年的考研，寫成老年人加強(qiáng)體育鍛煉的問題，就是不行的。對于大家來說，一定要加強(qiáng)審題的能力，平時多看多想，考試中就會水到渠成。
這篇文章分為三段。第一段是描述圖畫，第二段在引入主題后。
Sample:
In the above picture, a mother is seeing her son off at a railway station. It is most likely that the son is traveling by himself for the first time. We are most surprised to notice what the mother says: “My son, all of the people on the train are vicious, so be careful to protect yourself.”
Although this mother is radical to some extent, this picture reflects a worrying social problem—loss of social trust. Three reasons, in my belief, can account for the current phenomenon. First, when economy develops quickly and resources become more and more limited, social competition will become more and more fierce, and people will concentrate on the protection of personal interests. Second, the present education puts emphasis on knowledge and skills instead of morality and ethics. Last but not the least, sometimes the mass media play a negative role in focusing on the dark side of society, such as murder and robbery.
It is high time that we called on the efforts from all sides to solve this problem quickly and effectively. In the first place, teachers and parents should try their best to cultivate love, affection and unselfishness in the hearts of adolescents. In the second place, the government, with the help of the mass media, should play a dominant role in the making of a harmonious society. When every one of us participates in this campaign, the restoration of mutual trust will not be far away.
點(diǎn)評：
這篇文章首段先描述圖畫，第二段開頭做了一個關(guān)鍵性的工作——確定本文章的主題。這個主題是由圖畫所決定的，也是根據(jù)提綱展開文章的基礎(chǔ)。然后分三點(diǎn)來說明該問題的原因。第三段分兩點(diǎn)來說明解決問題的辦法。
心得：
文章沒有第四段，這主要是由于第三段的最后一句帶有結(jié)論性，是個非常成功的句子，亦可以寫成：
When every one of us participates in this campaign, the dream of the restoration of mutual trust will be realized in the near future.
