審題：
該圖畫描寫的是一個敏感的社會問題——平價藥店受到各方遏制的現(xiàn)象。這篇文章的難度比較高。在描述圖畫后，可分三段來寫：先寫藥價偏高的現(xiàn)象，再寫平價藥店的崛起及受到的壓制，最后寫解決辦法。
Sample:
We can see from the picture that several people are condemning a person so violently that it seems that some of them even want to beat him hard. The person has crouched down, with virtually no possibility of striking back. After looking at the picture carefully, we realize that the lowprice drugstore has evoked anger and even hatred in many drug factories, various dealers, traditional drugstores and hospitals.
As we all know, the price of drugs in our nation has been too high for quite a long time. After drugs are produced in factories, they go first to the chief dealer, then the subsidiary dealer, and then finally to the hospitals and drugstores. Such a traditional mode of drug circulation drove the total medical expenses higher, putting a heavy burden on urban and rural residents alike.
The rise of lowprice drugstores changes the situation completely. When drugs succeed in flowing to such drugstores immediately after production, the cost of management becomes much lower, thus selling drugs at a much lower and reasonable price also becomes possible. But such operation irritates many parties who feel that their interests have been hurt in the process. Among them are dealers, traditional drugstores, hospitals and even some factories. When all of them combine to oppose the newcomers, the existence of these new drugstores is at risk.
I believe that the government should endeavor first to foster such drugstores and then to reform the drug circulation and the medical system as a whole. When we give priority to the interests of the common people, the making of a harmonious society will not be difficult.
點評：
該文共分四段。第一段還是采用先描寫圖畫表層表現(xiàn)的打斗場面，而后再進(jìn)一步引出本文的主題——新生的平價藥店受到各方打壓。
第二段寫了藥價過高的現(xiàn)象及其原因。主要原因就是藥店流通環(huán)節(jié)過多，層層加價，給居民帶來了巨大的負(fù)擔(dān)。
第三段先寫了平價藥店的誕生改變了當(dāng)前的局面。之后寫了它們激怒了利益受損的各方，其中有銷售商、傳統(tǒng)藥店、醫(yī)院和一些藥廠。當(dāng)它們?nèi)浩鸸ブ畷r，新的平價藥店的生存就受到了威脅。
第四段寫政府應(yīng)當(dāng)扶植這些平價藥店，并改革藥品流通和整個醫(yī)療體系。最后進(jìn)一步說，當(dāng)我們首先考慮普通大眾的利益時，和諧社會的構(gòu)建就不是難事了。
心得：
這篇文章涉及的話題比較難寫，我們?nèi)绻麑Υ藛栴}并不是非常熟悉，就不必深入去寫，因為考察的重點是語言，這一點大家切記。

第二段中的drug circulation意思是“藥品流通”。
第三段第二句中flow的意思是“流通”，the cost of management表示“管理成本”。第三句中的irritate表示“激怒”。末句的at risk表示“受到威脅”。
末段首句的endeavor表示“努力”，后接不定式。次句中的give priority to表示“優(yōu)先考慮”，harmonious society表示“和諧社會”。
