Task 1:

小作文是曲线图，描述四个国家的水质在1995年到2010,2015年之间的对比。

The graph below shows the percentage of goodquality water in four countries between 1950 and 2000. It also predicts thefurther proportion of good quality water in 2015.

【解题技巧】：线图比较简单，但是要注意上下文的时态的变化，有过去时和将来时的变化，考生在写的过程中需留意。

【解题思路】：

首段：转述原文：graph-line diagram, percentage-proportion; show-illustrate; goodquality water-the river which contains satisfactory quality-high quality water

中间段：总体趋势：A国略下降，B整体上升，C和D波动fluctuate）+细节描述：A国和B国整体变化小。C和D整体变化大，注意描述最大最小，起点终点。C与B的交点也可以提一下。

尾段：总结，如B国和C国相对来说水质会更好。

Task 2:

Some people think success in life comes from hardwork and determination, but others think there are more important factors likemoney and appearance. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

【题目分析】：本题为社会生活类文章，题型是双边讨论+个人观点陈述。题目问的是一些人认为成功源于努力工作与坚强的决心，但是还有些人认为金钱或个人外貌也是成功的重要因素,即定义成功，定义幸福类题，类似题目有：

2006.12.16

Some people think that personal happiness isdirectly related to economic success. Others argue that happiness depends on differentfactors. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

【解题思路】：

第一段：背景+争论焦点+个人观点。写社会上我们经常会看到一些成功人士，人们对于什么原因导致人成功是持不同观点的，一些人认为是由于个人努力与决心，而其他人认为是金钱或外貌。个人认为是前者。

第二段：论点1：努力工作是成功的必经之路the pathway to success。解释：没有执着努力的付出就没有回报。社会上很多人的成功，都是因为他们的努力工作，没有勤奋的态度作为奠基石，他们很难登上成功的殿堂。One do not come across success just by hoping for it. To achieve truesuccess, people need the strength of mind and body to struggle and work hard toreach their fullest potential. There is, after all no substitute for hard work,and as Henry Ford says, “The harder you work, the luckier you get” – the moresuccessful you get!There shall be innumerable obstacles strewn in your pathtowards success, however, what makes a man truly worthy of the success that heattains is the ability to keep struggling until he can reach his goal. Givingup after a few failed attempts makes you a loser.

第三段：论点2:决心是一个人前进的动力，有决心，人才会朝着目标奋进。 有志者事竟成，当有决心有动力的时候，人才会朝着目标奋斗并不惜一切代价实现目标。因此也就更有可能成功。Determination is what motivates one to strive and work hard towardssuccess; therefore without it one tends to walk blindly and without purpose.There is a saying that 'where there is a will, there is a way'. Being fullydetermined is already success in itself. The rest just follows smoothly.you canalways get what you want if you want it badly enough. This is because once youhave set your mind on something and you really are willing to get it atwhatever cost, the body just follows and does as the mind wills.

第四段：让步段。论点：金钱和外貌对一个人的成功有的时候也是很重要的。金钱可以让人有更好的生存环境，外貌可以找到更好的人生伴侣或获得人生机会It is said, that we make our first impression about someone withinseconds. Indeed, often we form opinions about someone without actually knowingthat person, or without having spoken one single word with him or her. Sincehuman being tend to make first impressions within seconds, your appearancemight be key in communicating your success within such a short time frame.。反驳：但这不是成功的根本因素。因为很多例子证明只有脚踏实地才能更可能取得成功。而外貌与金钱只是成功的辅助因素。

第五段：总结。虽然金钱和外貌在某些特殊情况下确实会让人成功does not necessarily guarantee success，但真正让人成功的根本原因还是勤奋的工作和坚定的决心。
