人墙

“人墙”为图画式观点论证型论文,题材属于社会生活类。在画面中,孩子想要出去踢球,可是挡在他面前的有语文家教、英语家教、数学家教和音乐家教,从孩子的表情可以看出他的畏惧、失望与渴望玩耍的心情。图画传达的是当前很常见的一种现象:学生背负着沉重的课业负担,连本来属于他们自由玩耍的时间也被剥夺了。除此之外,家长还给孩子们报了各种各样的特长班,可谓用心良苦。可是这样做,孩子就会真的出类拔萃、获得真正的快乐吗?这个问题值得反思。
就结构而言,文章采用三段式。第一段:描述图画——现在很多学生都面临这种情况,并点明主题;第二段:解释该现象产生的原因;第三段:发表自己的看法。
[框架构思]
Paragraph One:Describe the picture briefly.
Paragraph Two:Explain the reasons for the phenomenon.
