看图作文是高考英语书面表达最常见的命题形式之一,它要求考生根据一幅或几幅图画所提供的信息,写一篇短文,叙述一件事,或者阐述图画反映的某种社会现象。这种命题形式的优点在于,它所提供的汉语提示很少或几乎没有,留给考生的发挥空间大,考生能通过这样的试题充分发挥自己的想象、观察、推理判断和语言表达的能力。
一、聚焦2011年江苏高考试题
下面这辐照片展现了女儿为回家的妈妈拿包的情景。请根据你对这辐照片的理解用英语写一篇短文。
你的短文应包含以下内容:
1.描述照片内容,如情景、人物、动作,等等;
2.结合自身实际,谈谈你的感想;
3.举例说明你能为家长减负做些什么。
注意:
1.可参照图中文字及下面文章开头所给提示,作必要的发挥想象。
2.词数150左右。开头已经写好,不计入总词数。
3.作文中不得提及考生所在学校和本人姓名。
The burden of students has been a hot topic for years, but the load of parents has received little attention, especially from their own children.
The picture shows us a touching moment when a little girl comes to greet her working mom. Realizing her mom must be very tired after a day’s work, the girl helps to remove the bag from her shoulder. In response, the mom kneels down to show how happy and thankful she feels.
All this reminds me of my mother who has been doing whatever she could to let me have the best. But, totally engaged in my own study, I seldom pay attention to what mother needs and feels, and always think studying well is the only thing I could do in return. Now I know I can do my bit to help with the everyday washing, bedroom cleaning, and at least prepare breakfast myself, so as to share my mother’s daily burden. The picture convinces me it is even more important to be a good daughter than a “good” student.
二、看图作文高分突破
(一)命题特点和应试策略
看图作文的命题特点是:命题人利用图画给考生提供一个特定的写作情景,要求考生在细心观察图画和正确理解图画的基础上,确定文章的文体、主题和具体细节,然后精心组织语言表达出来。试题具有如下特征:
1.素材贴近生活。此类书面表达一般都是中学生所熟悉的场景,画面生动形象,具有趣味性,体现高考书面表达“生活化”的特点。有时候还附带有英语或汉语说明,考生易获得直观信息。
2.文体形式多样。图画式作文有记叙文、说明文和议论文,时态要以图画反映的内容而定,介绍人物或叙述某件事的发展过程,通常用一般过去时;揭示或反映某个社会现象则用一般现在时;人称一般根据图画的内容,用第一人称或第三人称。此类作文一般都会给出关键词、文章的开头或规定场景,写作时要注意图画体现的主题及各图画之间的联系。
看图作文是英语学习和考试中的一大难点。所以,我们一定要掌握一定的写作步骤,具体来说:
(1)针对此类题型,考生应仔细阅读图画及文字说明,首先应确定文章体裁。这类文章一般以记叙文或说明文为主。
(2)确定人称。如果以日记、回忆录等形式来写,一般采用第一人称;如果是以讲故事的形式来写,则一般采用第三人称来写。但不管用哪种人称,全文一般都必须一致。
(3)确定时态。根据图画内容及所采用的文章体裁,确定文章所要用的时态。切记全文时态的一致性。
(4)发挥联想要合理、适度。这类文章的说明一般都要求考生做适度的联想和发挥,以便使上下文能更好地衔接起来。但联想和发挥一定要根据图画做到合情合理,不能过多地胡乱联想和发挥。
(5)虚实结合,详略得当。对于图画中的内容,该详细叙述描写的,就必须要详细、具体;可以一笔带过的就一笔带过。比如图画中所有的时间、数字或言论须一点不漏地写清楚,而有些过程或原因则可适当简略。

三、优秀习作练习与欣赏
1.学生的任务不仅仅是在学习上取得满分,请根据对下面这幅漫画的理解用英语写一篇短文,并发表你的看法。
注意:1.词数150左右,开头已经写好,不计入总词数。
2.参考词汇:
心理素质psychological quality;品德morality
As is vividly shown in the drawing above, a student is trying his best to reach the full score of important subjects including English, maths, physics, and Chinese while neglecting the more important aspects such as psychological quality and moral standards. This drawing mirrors a common social phenomenon, which has aroused our social concern and is in fact thoughtprovoking.
To begin with, academic achievements are not all that a student needs. In order to survive in our society, students must be first of all trained to possess fine psychological quality. Otherwise, we can not bravely face ups and downs in our life, work, and study. What’s more, high moral standards are also a must for every student. Without high moral standards, students will lose the orientation (方向,目标) of learning. Most often, even though a student possesses profound academic knowledge, he can not find himself a right place in our society and make contribution to his motherland due to his low moral standards.
Measures must be taken immediately so as to correct the trend of overemphasizing main academic subjects and neglecting psychological quality and moral standards. First of all, we must take a right attitude toward students’ development. What’s more, our government must care more about students’ education to ensure a right and healthy environment of development.
2.在中国西部贫困地区有许多留守儿童。他们的父母外出打工挣钱养家。以下这幅图片展现了这群留守儿童的一个生活场景。请根据你对这幅图片的理解用英语写一篇短文。
你的短文应包含以下内容:1.描述图片内容;2.简析“留守儿童”这一现象的成因;3.谈谈你的感受和愿望。
参考词汇:文具stationery;留守儿童leftbehind children
要求:1.词数:150词左右。短文开头已为你写好,不计入总词数。
2.文中不得提及考生所在学校和本人姓名。
As in shown in the picture, several children are crouching to the ground in a circle. They are writing down “Mum and Dad, I am missing you.” Since they live in a lessdeveloped western region in China, they are badly in need of stationery, dictionaries, schoolbags, TV sets and so on to do well in their studies and enjoy everyday life.
The cause of such a phenomenon is that they live in remote and hilly areas with poor transportation and a lowlevel education. To improve their living conditions, their parents rush to big cities to do odd jobs for more money, leaving them at home.
Personally, I show pity for these leftbehind children. I feel that each child should have the right to receive a good education and enjoy a happy life together with their parents. I recommend we do something for them such as donating life necessities or books, raising money and making the public aware of their current conditions.
I’m sure if people care more for them, the future will find them happy and healthy.
