The Necessity of Reducing Waste on Campus

   As is shown in the drawing, in the bathroom where there is a sign saying "DON'T WASTE WATER, PLEASE", a girl is busy making herself up, totally forgetting that water is still running out from the taps. In fact, wasting phenomena like this are frequently seen on campus: rows of lights left on in vacant classrooms; rice and dishes left over in the waste buckets.
   It is high time that such campus waste should be eliminated because we are living in a world with limited resources. And ff we do not cherish things we have today, sooner or later we will be short of them.
   To reduce waste on campus, we should all discipline ourselves: Turn off the lights when we leave the classroom; eat our meals up; don't waste water, etc. The world will become much more beautiful as long as we all do our bit.
【答案解析】 这是一篇看图作文。要求考生先简单描述图片内容,继而就“减少校园浪费的必要性”这个话题进行阐述。根据题目要求,可将文章内容安排如下:
   第一段:简明扼要地描述图片内容。
   第二段:简述减少校园浪费的必要性。
   第三段:提出减少校园浪费现象的一些建议,结束全文。
[参考译文] 如图所示,浴室中贴着“节约用水”字样的标示,而一个女孩却忙着照镜子打扮,完全忘了水龙头还正哗哗地放着水。事实上,诸如此类的浪费现象在校园里很常见:空无一人的课室灯火通明;垃圾桶里堆满剩饭剩菜。
   是时候杜绝这些行为了,因为我们地球的资源是有限的。如果我们今天不珍惜所有,在不久的将来,我们也会失去它们。
   为了减少校园浪费现象,人人都应该从我做起:离开教室时应随手关灯;别剩饭菜;不浪费水,等等。只要人人都贡献一份力量,这个世界会变得更加美好。
