大作文审题与范文
2012年的大作文应该往个人成长所需要的品质来思考，果然不出所料，今年又考到了图画作文，这是考研历史上第14次考图画作文了。字数要求在160--200词。图画作文往往是一张抽象而意味深长的图片或漫画，有时让人很难理解。
今年的图画只有一张图，但主题明显直接。图画中间有两个人，针对一个酒瓶倒地，酒倒出来很多之后的不同反应，一个人说：全完了，暗含着他很悲观郁闷，而另一个人却想到的是：还剩一点儿，仍持乐观的态度。相比较，我们就可以看出不同人对不同事物持不同的态度。这与我今年考研英语大作文预测说会考到与个人成长所需品质有关的积极话题是一致的。
2012年的考研大作文可以从要树立正确的态度，要持乐观的态度，或自信都可以去写，从其它方面就很难说了。接下来就要思考出所要写作的主题词汇，比如keep/be optimistic/pessimistic; optimism, attitude, 等等。这些词汇都应该在今年的大作文里出现。
考研大作文多年来关注的是对青少年个人思想品德方面的教育，比如：01年要培养爱心；02年要把民族文化发扬光大；03年要学会自立自强；04年要与时俱进；05年要孝敬父母；06年关于偶像崇拜；07年的自信；08的合作与团结，09年人们普遍关心的网络问题。从中我们可以看得出命题专家们对教育年轻一代的良苦用心。所以我们可以概括出大作文的命题规律是有关青年人成长的问题居多，另外就是社会上的一些热点或人们普遍关心的话题。这一点对2013年考生作文备考有很大帮助。
在写大作文时，第一段需要简短描述图画的内容。酒瓶bottles或汉语字“全完了everything is over. ”，“还剩一点儿there is still a little left。”等属于考生应该掌握的作文基础词汇，这是靠模板不能写出来的东西。 第二段需要阐释图画寓意，其实就是论证说明树立乐观态度的重要性。最后一段可以结合自己谈谈看法或体会。

按照我们课堂上的写作方法，可以这样来展开描述和议论。第一段为传统的图画描述段，根据图画中的具体信息，尤其是下面的文字说明，进行直接描述。比如可以运用我们冲刺课堂上传授的精彩句型 " Whoever in front of this cartoon/drawing/picture will be greatly impressed. How thought-provoking it seems to be! 或What is vividly illustrated in the painting above is that …. (对漫画笼统地描述)。然后再补上后面的文字解释说明：“The caption(图画中的文字) informs us readers of the message that attitude makes everything. ”属经典的开头套话。在描述中，不可缺少的主题相关词包括" keep/be optimistic; optimism, attitude等与“态度；乐观；悲观”有关的词汇，这是得分的第一步。
第二段要求展开阐释漫画背后所预示的主题，并加以论证说明。在这一段首句可以直接采用" Simply designed though this miniature seems to be, the symbolic meaning it conveys is deep and profound. It is, most likely, that the drawer intends not only to present the serious behavior to us but also to set us thinking about its real significance。在句型运用方面，可以考虑使用必杀词组“The foremost and the most striking influence of it is ….，As is universally acknowledged，和What makes things even worse等。
第三段以及第四段可以阐述自己的一些看法或想法，或对那些没有乐观的人提一些建议都行。

As is apparently drawn in this miniature, in the middle stand two individuals, one feeling gloomy while the other optimistic. The Chinese characters above inform our readers of the message that various folks take different attitudes toward the same event. How impressive this drawing seems to be in depicting one of the most prevalent themes that attitudes make everything in our life.
After careful reflection and mediation, we examinees come to understand the enlightening drawing. I contend that this thought-provoking image conveys one profound layer of implication concerning attitude or optimism. It is universally acknowledged that life is by no means perfect and whether we feel optimistic or not depends on what attitudes we take.
When confronted with an adverse situation, some youths feel in low spirits and fall into depression. Others, on the contrary, look at the positive side of the situation and remain cheerful. As a consequence, it is our attitude rather than the situation itself that determines how we feel.
In my personal sense, the message applies to our youths especially. In such a rat-race society, everyone is bound to encounter hardships and difficulties. In this sense, I should keep an optimistic attitude to pull through any hardship. Just as a famous figure puts it, it is our attitude that has changed everything in our life.
最后祝2012考研学子金榜题名。
