As is shown in the cartoon, the hen that has just laid an egg is shouting, with her head raised high, “I ensure that my egg brings no corners and that it consists of such three parts as eggshell, egg white and yolk.”
What I‘ve mentioned above is the surface messages conveyed by the cartoon. It seems from the hen’s proud look that she is expected to make a promise for the egg she lays. It fact, it is clear that the hen promises what turns out to be her own duty.
There are some possible reasons for this common social phenomenon. For one thing, the social competition is becoming so fierce that all trades tend to produce ads to make themselves better known to the public. For another, they‘re not prepared to face the challenge and as a result, they can do little except declare their own duty as something praiseworthy.
In my opinion, every trade should try every means to improve its competitive forces instead of boasting like the hen in the cartoon. Therefore, I draw my conclusion that just as a hen shouldn‘t promise for her egg, so no trade in the society should boast themselves for something within their duty and that they should work hard to provide more benefits for the society. In a word, try not to be like the boasting hen in our life!

☆SAMPLE
As is shown from the first graph, the USA witnessed a rapid growth of population during the period of time from the year of 1800 to 1990. From the second graph, we can find out that there was a quicker and quicker rise in the number of species of wildlife no longer existing in the USA from 1600 to 1900, reaching 60 in all. It is obvious that the country‘s population explosion e xerted a great effect on its wildlife and resulted in the sharp decline in their number.
What caused the effect? There‘re at least two possible reasons provided here. In the first place, with the growth of population, there is more and more living space for humans and , therefore, less and less for wildlife. Secondly, the large human population causes serious environmental pollution so that it is hard for wildlife to live in a clean and favorable surrounding. As a result, some rare animals become endangered and extinct. ( Here may be some other factors contributing to the declining tendency, but I think what has been mentioned above is generally acceptable. )
As far as I am concerned, my suggestions as to how to protect wildlife in the USA are as follows. First of all, the government should propagandize(宣传)/make efforts to arouse public awareness of the importance of wildlife protection. In the second place, the government should take effective measures to control the birthrate and prevent the environment from being polluted. Finally, excessive killing of animals should be banned by law. This is my point of view and I am sure my idea is both reasonable and workable.

根据提纲中的信息1. Describe the pictures.本文开头需要一个独立的段落,即描述漫画段。
根据提纲中的信息2. Deduce the purpose of the drawer of the pictures.本篇文章下文要体现出作者对该现象的评论,即漫画人画这幅漫画的目的。
As can be seen from the two pictures showing a brief history of world commercial fishing, few cases of commercial fishing occurred in 1900 and so lovely fishes of various kinds swam freely in the water. Things, however, were becoming much worse in the year of 1995. Countless fishing ships sailed along the water and, as a result, few fishes were seen swimming. It is clear that because of excessive commercial fishing, the ecological system had been thrown out of balance.
What is the purpose of the drawer of the pictures? On one hand, the drawer intends, by producing these two pictures of sharp contrast, to arouse public awareness/concern of the harmfulness of worldwide commercial fishing and the importance of protecting sea resources on earth. On the other hand, the drawer wants to attract the attention of governments and departments concerned and urge them to take effective counter-measures.
As far as I am concerned, my suggestions are as follows. For one thing, organizations concerned should try every means to make people conscious of the negative effects of commercial fishing. For another, laws should be passed to prohibit commercial fishing. ( In addition, the world shouldn‘t neglect the previous lessons of destroying ecological balance or attempt to do everything for the only sake of its own benefits. ) T here may be some other countermeasures for this issue, but it is generally believed that the above ideas are commonly acceptable.

☆SAMPLE
As is indicated in the picture, love is like a lamp, which gives a brighter light in darker places. It is clear that the picture brings with it some symbolic meaning and that the lamp is symbolic of love. As we all know, among all the worthy feelings of mankind, love is probably the noblest, rarest and most important. In my opinion, it is a virtue highly valued for us to show love for the one who needs love badly in his life.
Let‘s have an example to illustrate love. Project Hope was initiated several years ago for the purpose of extensive education all over our country. Each citizen is expected to finish his possible small part of donation to help children in poor areas return to school. Every share of donation, whether it is big or small, stands for a heart of love, which contributes more or less to the great Project Hope. (How happy you will be if one day in the future someone of some importance visits you and thanks you for the help you ever offered him, you forget all about it and he tells you that you ever financed his elementary education by means of Project Hope.)
Then how to show love to others? As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is as follows. The best way for one to show love, in my opinion, is to try one‘s best to think for those in need of help and love and do one’s best to provide love. Remember a Chinese proverb, “Do a good thing though it is very trivial (勿以善小而不为)。”Only in this way is the world full of love; only in this way can the world expect a bright prospect.

☆SAMPLE
What an impressive picture it is! An American girl, wearing a traditional Chinese costume, is smiling heartily. The be-jeweled headdress, beaded necklace and earrings with tassels, and silk, attire with ribbons characterizes the traditional costume of Chinese minority nationality girl. The costume adds oriental charms to her beauty. Her radiant smile is as a tribute to Chinese culture as to the progress China has recently made.
Obviously, we can deduce from this picture that with the development of China, the increasing charm of Chinese tradition appeals to more and more foreigners who come to China with an eagerness to see the true color of China. First, it heightens our splendid Chinese culture─now universally accepted as the invaluable treasure of the world. Attracted by the splendid Chinese culture, now many foreigners flood to China to study or to work. Next, it reflects our great achievements. When China was then engulfed with poverty, backwardness, corruption and foreign invasion, who cared about the culture associated with the pigtailed coolies? But during the last two decades one can hardly ignore the rapid progress of China. Three months after China won the right to stage their first Olympics in 2008, China capped the most significant year in its sporting history when the national soccer team reached the World Cup finals for the first time. How can‘t people be fascinated with such an energetic country with a long and colorful culture!
We should cherish, rejuvenate and popularize our culture as aggressively as Americans do. We are confident that a better-educated China armed with modern science and technology will surprise the world with greater progress. How nice to be a modern Chinese!

How impressive the set of drawings are!
In the first drawing, it is strongly windy and heavily rainy outside, and yet the flower in the greenhouse is at its best, without any influence from the terrible weather condition. In the second drawing, however, things are quite different. When exposed to the outside wind and rain, the flower appears weak enough and fails to stand against the bad weather.
We can deduce from these two vivid drawings that one can hardly challenge possible drawbacks if he stays in a comfortable surrounding too long a period of time to lack the ability to cope with hardships. Like a tiger that is fostered by man. Set it free in the forest, and it will not possibly survive.
What has been discussed above carries great implications for our daily life, esp. how to better educate children. With the standard of living improving, people tend to provide their children with material comfort and as a result, children are often spoiled. They may possibly succeed with the protection of the comfort on the surface. But what if they leave the so-called comfort? To live alone, they can barely do; to face drawbacks, they will never do. Much worse, they‘ll probably be destroyed by the harsh reality as miserably as the flower.
It is self-evident that the education of the young is vital to the nation. Don‘t let them bask in the greenhouse all the time. Have they exposed to the outside surrounding and they’ll be stronger and better prepared for their future.

As is shown in the picture, on arriving at the finishing line of a race on the playground, the active young man has to continue his new journey in no time instead of stopping to take a rest. He has successfully settled the puzzle of“stopping or going on”which might have confused many others.
With the increasing pace of modern life, perhaps no change has characterized the past decade more dramatically than that of people‘s view on their own life. It is generally agreed upon that people have to adjust themselves to this new change. On the one hand, no doubt, people will gain a lot by setting new goals in their daily life. Take the famous scientist Thomas Edison for example. He had done very well in his early life, but continued to pursue something more difficult all through his life. On the other hand, if one is obsessed with the success he has achieved, he would lose the chance to pursue new success. What is more, he may become the salve of his success. T here are many cases showing that people lose their courage to better themselves after becoming successful.
To sum up, one‘s view on his success determines his future. In my opinion, it is necessary to carry out a nation-wide campaign publicizing people who have a burning desire for more and ever greater achievement when they are already well-known. So that people in the society will develop a forward-looking attitude and make their life worth living and the world more beautiful as well.

The picture above symbolically demonstrates how three sons and a daughter treat their old and helpless father. They each stand in a different comer of a football field. The eldest son kicks out the father while the other children are prepared to ward him off. It is sad to see none of them is willing to receive and support their father.
What it illustrates is a common phenomenon in today‘s society: many grown-up children refuse to support their aging parents. While young people enjoy a comfortable life, their parents are neglected and left in utter poverty, as these elderly people have grown so physically weak that they no longer have the power to support themselves. I think these children have gone against their own conscience and therefore may be put under strong attacks of words and contempt by us. According to Chinese culture, to respect the old and love the young are the traditional virtue and to be kind to one’s parents is the height of it. We owe so much to our parents in that they not only gave us life but have done much in bringing us up. It is against nature for us to escape from our responsibility of taking care of our parents when they are old.
On the contrary, we have the duty to pay back their love by making their later years enjoyable and happy. With love and respect for the old, our society will be full of sunshine; without love and respect for the old, our society will be dark through
