范文一：

　　When we use the word "love"， we do not simply mean an attraction to a person of the opposite sex， which is a very narrow definition of the word. The picture below illustrates the real meaning of love， by stressing the fact that love is emotional strength， which can support us no matter how dark the world around us becomes. In fact， throughout history people of many different cultures have regarded love as the noblest of human emotions. [现象现状说明段]

　　As an example of the power of love， we should remember how the Chinese people of all nationalities respond to the call to help the victims of natural disasters every year. Although their incomes are still low by international standards， people all over the country do not hesitate to donate whatever they can——be it money or goods——to help their needy fellow citizens. Moreover， they do this with no thought of gain for themselves. [举例论证段]

　　In my opinion， the best way to show love is to help people who are more unfortunate than we are. We should always be ready to give a helping hand to those who are in trouble， no matter whether they are family members or complete strangers. In this way， we can help to make the world a better place for you and for me and the entire human race， and as the picture shows， the darker the shadows of sorrow become， the more brightly the lamp of love shines.

　　范文二：

　　Love is of utmost importance to us humans. Everybody not only needs love， but also should give others love. As can be seen from the picture， "love is a lamp which is brighter in darker places." This is indeed true. People in darker places need more light than other people. Maybe even a dim light can give them much hope for a better life. Maybe just a thread of light will call forth their strength and courage to help them step out of their difficulties. [现象现状说明段]

　　I can think of no better illustration of this idea than the following example（s）。For instance when someone is starving to death， just a little food and water from you may save his（her） life. Again， when a little girl in a poor rural area drops out of school because of poverty， just a small sum of money from you may support her to finish school and change her life. In these circumstances you have given love which is like a lamp in a dark place where light is most needed. [举例论证段]

　　To sum up， we should offer our help to all the needed. We expect to get love from others and we also give love to others. So when you see someone in difficulty or in distress and in need of help， don't hesitate to give your love to him （her）。 I believe that the relationship between people will be harmonious and that our society will be a better place for us to live in. [归纳结论段]
