这道题目比较特殊——图画上没有对话，只有一个忘情弹奏的人，下面有一句极富哲理的话。而提纲中的第二点和第三点分别是阐释含义和作出评论，而不是具体的指令，这样写来难度更大，自由度也更大。

As can be seen from the picture, a person is playing the piano—he is so much immersed in the beautiful music that he seems to forget completely what is going on around him. The Chinese characters below the picture say: Writing is like playing the piano—first you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart. What significant and thoughtprovoking words they are!
To me, writing is a lifelong endeavor: it is often hard and frustrating at the beginning, but it often becomes enjoyable and fruitful as time goes by. First, you have to learn the fundamental knowledge and acquire the simple skills, just as you must know the keys on a piano before you can really produce a whole piece of music. Afterwards, I believe there should a prolonged period of practice, largely characterized by recitation, analysis and imitation. This is the period when we fully understand and deeply appreciate the beauty and excellence of masterpieces. This is also the period when we apply the particular skills of manipulating words, fabricating sentences and creating paragraphs by imitating great writers directly. Finally, when all of this is done, one day we will suddenly forget all those rules and regulations—like a bird flying freely in the sky, we begin to take on our own styles. We can eventually express our ideas, feelings and emotions smoothly—like beautiful notes, words spring out from our hearts one after another, until they merge into a stream or even a river. At that time, we can be sure to say that we begin to understand what writing is.
点评：
这篇文章写成了两段而不是三段，是非常特殊的。如果提纲中的第二点和第三点分别是给出原因和解决办法，就不能这么写。
第一段分别描述了忘情弹奏的人和图下面的一句话，而后末句用了一个感叹句。
第二段是关键段落。首先是总结性的话语。而后以为线索分三个阶段来写。第一个阶段只有一句话，用了类比法：你得先学会写作的基础知识和简单技能，就象认识钢琴上的键一样。第二个阶段有三句话，先说这个阶段是以背诵、分析和模仿为特征的一般较长的练习时期。而后两句话作进一步说明，这两句话是平行的：这是我们能够完全理解和欣赏经典杰作之美的时期，也是我们通过直接模仿大作家来应用具体的词、句、段的技能的时期。第三个阶段共有三句话。首先说当所有这些都完成之后，我们有一天会突然自己忘记了所有的规则——就象一只自由飞翔的鸟儿，我们开始有了自己的风格。而后说我们终于能够自由地表达思想和情感——就象美妙的乐章一样，词从我们的心中喷涌而出，直到汇成小溪或河流。最后一句说，直到那时，我们知道我们开始理解写作了。最后这句结语举重若轻，效果却很强烈，就象米开朗基罗弥留之际说的自己开始懂得一点点绘画了一样，看似平淡，却非常具有震撼力。
心得：
一般说来，哲理性的文章是相当有难度的。本文是一篇以类比来表达深刻道理的文章，这就需要大家先弄清一对事物之间的类比关系，体会其中的妙处，再一步步地深入细致地进行描述，这是不容易的。请大家仔细研读范文，必能在这方面有所收获。
在行文中，不断地体现开始的这种类比关系，能使主题进一步加强。这在第二段的第一个和第三个时期均有明显的体现。

Study the following picture carefully and write an essay in which you should:
1. describe the picture,
2. list the advantages and disadvantages of urbanization;
3. draw your conclusion.
You should write 160~200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

由于提纲清晰，这篇文章的结构易于把握：先描述图画，之后分两段来说城市化的利与弊，最后下结论。
Sample:
In the picture, we see a newly emerging community: there are supermarkets, schools, banks and hospitals. A resident tells us, “Eight years ago it was still the countryside.” The history of reform and openingup is the history of rapid economic development; it is also the history of largescale urbanization of our nation.
I firmly believe that the advantages of urbanization are many. First, when more and more people flood into cities, the city is often becoming bigger and bigger and many people move out of the downtown area and into the suburbs. This trend of urban construction is beneficial to future city development as a whole. Second, it provides more development opportunities for big cities. With more and more people coming to the city, urban development is experiencing a new round of leaping forward.
Urbanization may also bring a series of unfavorable consequences. First, the farmland in the country is shrinking. Second, sometimes, the rural land, rivers and air are polluted. When more and more new factories are set up, the surrounding environment is likely to decay. In my mind, it is not necessarily the result. Finally, the young people who still practice farming are becoming fewer and fewer. Some of them go to big cities to pursue a better life. Some of them stay at home, but begin to do business or work in local factories.
All in all, urbanization brings more benefits than problems. The present society is experiencing great changes—what we should be sure is that we strike a balance between economical development and environmental protection.
点评：
在提纲中出现关键词，是少见的，我们一定要抓住这里的重要信息。这里的urbanization即是文章讨论的主题。
文章共分四段。首段在描述图画后做了小结，巧妙引入本文主题——城市化。第二段与第三段分别谈论城市化的利和弊。第二段列举了城市化的两个优点。第三段写了城市化的三个缺点。第四段下结论——城市化的利大于弊。
心得：
该文结构比较简单，解决了结构问题后，我们就应该在语言上面多下功夫。
首段末句使用平行结构与分号引出本文主题——城市化，非常引人注目。次段第一点中的move out of the downtown area and into the suburbs这一词组是同一动词接不同地点状语的情形。第二点中的With more and more people coming to the city是介词引导的复合结构。第三段第一点中的shrink表示缩减，用在这里很妥当。第二点中的decay表示“变坏”。第三点中的pursue表示“追求”。末段的第二句中有破折号的用法。

这是一道图表题。在考研的大作文中，近年来出现几率最大的是图画题，而图表题出现的几率就要小一些。与图画题相似，图表题的首段总是要描述图表。这篇文章的提纲，第二段应写成描写原因的段落。第三点提纲是给出评论，对于社会问题类的情形，一般写作解决问题的办法。最后可有一段做结。
