2016英語四級漫畫作文範文及寫作指導

　　四級英語很快就要到來了，英語是佔據重要的部分，快來看看下面的範文及寫作指導吧。

　　Directions: Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay in which you should

　　1) describe the cartoon,

　　2) interpret its meaning, and

　　3) point out its implications in our life.

　　範文1：

　　This cartoon is silly, and yet compelling: a large customer holds a hopelessly small piece of cloth as the tailor carefully measures. Such an image suggests that one needs to consider practical reality in the pursuance of goals. Merely acting on one's desires, while ignoring the facts at hand, cannot lead to success.

　　The fact that currently there are more graduates than jobs reminds us of the importance of rational thinking. Every year approximately 3 million students graduate from universities and begin looking for work. Many of them fail to find suitable employment because there are simply not enough opportunities to accommodate such great numbers of graduates. In addition, however, one might also cite flawed individual assessment as a reason.

　　In order to create a realistic target for one's future, one must make rational decisions and prepare accordingly. A student who aims to be a surgeon, for example, must take care to acquire opportunities to do clinical practice and gain sufficient knowledge. In other words, customers would do well to take accurate measurements before purchasing their fabric. A small piece of cloth cannot adequately clothe a large person.

　　範文2：

　　In the cartoon we can see a large person being measured by a tailor to get suitable clothes made. Anything to be done must be measured in advance so that we are able to find a proper way to do it. If the tailor does not take measurements of the man, then he would not be able to make suitable clothes for this person.

　　This same principle applies to solving any other problem. Firstly, when we want to know the reality of something, we must describe it like it is, getting rid of our prejudices and exaggerations, so that we can have an unbiased view. Secondly, the object should be analyzed in a concrete way so that we can grasp the reasons and rules of it. Thirdly, we must adapt our approach to solving a problem, for each situation is different from the others. So we must view a problem from different perspectives.

　　The cartoon implies different meanings to different people. A teacher should adopt different teaching methods according to the students in the class; a doctor should prescribe different treatments according to the patient's symptoms; a farmer should seed different plants according to the various conditions of the earth. From a philosophical point of view, dissimilarproblems should be approached differently. Good results come from attentive analysis of a problem.

　　英語漫畫作文寫作指導

　　第一、讀圖審題

　　四級漫畫作文中的漫畫通常反映一個社會現象或生活哲理，要求考生根據自己對漫畫的理解來寫作。因此，要寫好四級漫畫作文，審題格外重要。考生在下筆之前要仔細看漫畫，弄清漫畫的寓意，這是文章切題的保證。此外，在本次四級考試的三道寫作題中，Directions部分都給出了寫作內容的大致方向，這也為考生把握漫畫寓意提供了幫助。下面筆者就來逐一梳理2013年6月四級作文的三幅漫畫及其傳達的寓意。

　　第二、謀篇佈局

　　在把握文章的主旨之後，考生就可以構思整篇文章的架構了。四級漫畫作文的寫作可以分為下面三個段落。

　　第一段：開門見山，簡要描述一下漫畫內容，並指出漫畫的寓意。描述漫畫內容是為了揭示其中的寓意，是手段而不是目的，所以描述要簡潔明快，一般來說一句話足矣。需要提醒考生的是，寫作的Directions部分雖然給出了大致的寫作主題，但是也要求考生對漫畫進行簡要描述，因此考生切不可拋開漫畫內容直接展開議論。

　　第二段：表達考生對漫畫寓意的看法，這是文章的重心所在。比如，就第一道寫作題目而言，考生應在第二段闡述閱讀文學作品的重要性;就第二道寫作題目而言，考生應在第二段論述為什麼凡事必須從小事做起;就第三道寫作題目而言，考生應在第二段論述掌握基本技能的重要性。

　　第三段：指出漫畫的寓意對大學生的教育意義，或者提出解決問題的建議。考生需要注意的是，結尾段一般並不需要實質性的分析，其主要作用是總結和昇華，使文章結構完整。所以結尾段的寫作要簡明扼要，點到即止。

　　第三、論證方法

　　漫畫作文的第二段要表達考生對漫畫寓意的看法，這是文章的核心段落，也是作文字數達到要求的關鍵。因此，考生在這一段要濃墨重彩，寫深、寫透。在寫這一段時，考生要儘量擺事實、講道理，避免空泛的議論。針對這一核心段落，筆者在此推薦以下三種展開議論的常用方法，希望對考生有所啟發。

　　1.條分縷析

　　在寫作第二段時，考生可以從2～3個方面對觀點展開論述，這種寫法可使文章顯得層次清楚、條理清晰。例如，本次四級作文第一道題目的第二段需要闡述閱讀文學作品的重要性，考生就可以從以下兩個方面展開：第一，相對於電子媒體，文學閱讀更能培養人的想象力;第二，閱讀文學作品能夠幫助我們更好地瞭解社會。請參考下面的'範文。

　　There wasa time when children could relish (欣賞/ 也可以使用appreciate 替換) literature. But childrentoday can enjoy the sounds and action on a TV or computer screen. “So why bother reading?” some ask. The reasonis obvious： It enriches our imagination. When we read apiece of literature， we are living the life of RobinHood or starting an adventure with Tom Sawyer. In addition， literature is the mirror of society，whether it be poetry， drama or fiction. We know thesociety better through literature.

　　2.舉例論證

　　如果漫畫所傳達的是抽象的人生哲理，那麼考生在論述時最好能舉出具體的事例，儘量避免空洞的說教。比如，就本次四級作文第二道題目而言，考生可以在第二段中舉出一些成功人士如何從小事做起的例子。筆者下面提供的範文中用到的是哈蘭·桑德斯上校從一個小吃店做起，最後締造出遍佈全球的肯德基快餐帝國的例子，用以證明只有從小事做起，才能成就大事。請看下面的範文。

　　Everything is smallbefore it is big. A good example is KFC. In 1930 Colonel Harland Sanders beganserving food to his service station customers in Corbin， a city in Kentucky. He fried chicken in his own kitchen andperfected his secret recipe there. From the small roadside eatery， he went on to build an empire of fast food.

　　3.類比論證

　　如果漫畫中的寓意不容易透過具體的事例來證明，那麼考生還可以使用類比論證的方法，即透過打比方來論證一個抽象的道理。比如，對於本次四級作文的第三道題目，考生可以在第二段中用學習打籃球的過程來打比方。學習打籃球時，只有先學會了投球、運球、傳球這些基本技能，才能進一步學習高難度的技能。以此類推，無論做任何事情，只有掌握了基本的技能，才可能取得更大的成功。此外，考生還可以舉出統計數字，用具體的研究結果來證明論點。請看下面的範文。

　　Simple as they mayseem， basic skills serve as the first link in the chain of success. Thisis analogous to learning to play basketball. If shooting， dribbling and passing are not mastered，learning advanced skills will become difficult， if notimpossible. A growing body of research has also documented that such basicskills as reading， writing and computing are highlycorrelated with success later in life. A 2012 study surveyed 300 CEOs ofFortune 500 companies and found that 87% attributed part of their success tothe basic skills they learned in primary school.
