【分析】
本題要求考生根據(jù)所提供的圖畫寫一篇160 ~ 200詞的文章。文章必須包括三個方面：1)簡單描述圖片；2)解釋圖片的含義；3)發(fā)表自己的評論。
在作文的第一部分中，考生應(yīng)該描述圖畫：圖中一個瓶子被打翻了，瓶中的液體流出了一半。兩個人看見了這一幕后，表情各不相同。一個很沮喪地說：“全完了！”；另一個開心地說：“幸好還剩點兒�！�
在第二部分中，考生應(yīng)該解釋圖畫的含義：兩個人的不同表情實際上表明了兩種不同的心態(tài)，即他們看待事物的視角不同，一個悲觀，另一個樂觀。一個只看到了事物的陰暗面，另一個則看到了事物的光明面。
在第三部分中，考生應(yīng)該對這種現(xiàn)象進行評論：這幅圖給我們留下了這樣一種思考―我們應(yīng)該怎樣看待生活？應(yīng)該以怎樣的態(tài)度面對人生？
下面這篇范文僅供讀者參考。
In the picture, a bottle falls to the ground and a liquid spills out. Two men witness the accident and respond differently to it. One sadly holds his head with his hand, saying, “Everything is spoiled!” The other gladly notices the half of the oil that still remains in the bottle and rushes to pick it up, saying, “Fortunately, we still have some left�！�
The picture is not just showing us a small accident, but it intends to tell us a matter of greater significance. The two men’s different responses to the accident actually show two different attitudes to life, or two different perspectives to view tragedy in life。
Life is full of ups and downs, which are part of one’s life journey in this world. The question is how we are going to take life’s pains or tragedies. Pessimists feel like the end of the world is coming, while optimists believe they can overcome them and become stronger. A girl student jumped from a tall building after she was abandoned by her boyfriend. A mother drowned her two mentally-handicapped twin sons because she could not see the end of her own suffering. While we are sympathetic for these unfortunate people, we sigh for their desperate actions.
No one’s life is plain sailing. But hard labour will make a person physically strong; hardships will make a person mentally strong. We sigh because one man did not see the bright side of life, “the half of the liquid that still remains”. The girl student did not understand that life could begin anew and happiness could be achieved elsewhere. The mother did not realize that the society and the government were willing to offer help. If they were more optimistic, things could be different. If we are all optimistic, the world will be changed。
