2003年考研英语作文真题

　　Directions:
　　1) describe the set of drawings, Interpret its meaning.
　　2) point out its implications in our life.
　　You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)

　　题目给出了两幅相对的图：第一幅图中，尽管外面狂风暴雨，温室里的花朵却依然怒放着。可是第二幅图中，我们看到同样一朵花一旦搬到了室外，在风雨中立即就凋谢了，由此也印证了题目中“温室中的花朵经不起风雨”的论断，这就是两幅图的含义。

　　根据这一论断，考生可以自由联想其在生活中的含义。最明显的就是当前社会孩子的教育问题和独生子女问题。很多父母对孩子百般溺爱，恐怕孩子吃一点苦，受一点委屈，父母为孩子包办一切，将孩子当作是“温室里的花朵”，结果孩子缺乏独立解决问题的能力，一旦遇到挫折就手足无措。此外在当前的教育制度下，孩子学习负担沉重，绝大部分时间都在学校和家庭度过，根本没有接触社会的机会，这样又怎么能茁壮成长呢？

　　经过以上分析，考生基本已经有了整体的思路。可以根据提纲将文章分为三段。第一段是描述图画。第二段是揭示其在现实生活中的含义。可以类比于生活中孩子的教育问题，并分析这种现象产生的原因。最后一段可以总结自己的观点，得出结论。

　　经典范文赏析

　　The above two pictures have shaped contrast to each other. As is shown in the first drawing, the flower is placed in a cozy green house which shelters it from the severe wind and storm. With proper temperature and other good conditions, the flower is growing in full bloom. In contrast, when removed from the green house and exposed to the wind and storm, the flower immediately fades and withers, with most of its petals cast about on the ground. The two pictures show us that the flower growing in the green house can not withstand the ordeal of the wind and storm.

　　It is most likely that the drawer means to compare children in our country to the flower in the drawing and reflect a problem in the present education of our children. For one thing, most parents provide excessive doting care and material supplies to protect the children from the harsh reality. For another, most children are too heavily burden with studies that they have little time to take part in social activities. Once the children begin to seek independence and face challenges from the real competitive world, they are found too spoiled to be strong enough to endure the hardships and difficulties of various sorts.

　　In sum, it is essential for us to solve the problem of children`s education timely and effectively. Only by undergoing more predicaments can young people develop strong personality and ability needed in the future, and only in this way can they eventually become winners in our competitive changing world.
