【正确答案】[范文]
As is vividly described in the drawing, a man is pouring a bucket of ice water down to his head responding to the Ice Bucket Challenge, with people raising their thumbs or taking photos aside. At the same time, a thirsty refugee is crawling to him, holding a broken bowl in the air for help.
It goes without saying that the drawing satirizes the recent popular Ice Bucket Challenge and this absurd deed should be stopped. First, the challenge aims at charity at the beginning, but soon it becomes a kind of farce. Those celebrities are playing the game wildly and enjoying themselves very much. Except for the concern of how fast their photos are spread on the Internet, they seem to show little concern for those patients. Besides, many regions in the world are suffering from the most serious drought in history. The challenge becomes a movement to waste water rather than serious charity.
In conclusion, only when those celebrities stop entertaining and take everything in a serious way can they deserve their name and be respected by ordinary people.
