Writing (图画提纲式议论文)
Directions: ?Study the following set of cartoons carefully and write an essay in which you should?
1) describe the cartoons,?
2) state its main idea, and give your comment.??
You should write about 160—200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)?
These two cartoons show two contrasting scenes. While the male student spends all his time and money playing Internet games, the female student studies diligently. One could easily argue that a bright future awaits the students who study hard, while those who waste tuition playing games have little to look forward to. The above images encourage students to value their time in school and take advantage of educational opportunities.?
While students dream of being accepted into college for years, they often become lost once admitted. Without their parents' constant support and advice, or because of limited communication with teachers, many students are unable to focus on their future goals. Such confusion leads some to forget their studies and resort to playing on the Internet, among other forms of recreation. Students should not only keep their ambitions in mind, but also seriously strive towards them. Without a clear purpose, one might easily waste crucial years neglecting one's studies. ?
Constantly playing on the Internet leads to failure, while continuously studying guarantees success. Students need to appreciate their time in school, and work hard in order to ensure a good future.
译文：
这两幅漫画描述了两个形成鲜明对照的场景，第一幅画中的男生在网络游戏中虚掷了所有的时间和金钱，而第二幅画中的女生却在勤勉地学习。可以很容易得出结论：对于刻苦学习的学生，一个美好的未来在等候着他们；而浪费学费玩游戏的学生没有什么指望了。上面这两幅画激励学生们珍惜在校的时光和受教育的机会。?
经过多年的梦寐以求终于跨进大学门槛的学生，却往往迷失了自己。因为没有了父母常在身边的支持和建议，或是缺乏与老师的沟通，很多学生找不到自己未来的奋斗目标。而这种困惑就使得一些学生扔掉书本，靠各种消遣——包括玩网络游戏——来打发时光。大学生不应只空谈理想，应该认真地为之奋斗，而没有明确的目标则会让一个人在度过他至关紧要的几年后头脑空空。?
沉湎于网络游戏只会导致失败，而坚持不懈的学习则能收获成功。
