【答案解析】[范文]
In this cartoon, it humorously presents a scene of a football game in which the two rivals are facing each other. The striker on one team is preparing to make a decisive shoot while the goal-keeper on the opposite team is posing for defence. However, the pressure is so overwhelming that both of them are losing their confidence. The striker magnifies the goal-keeper in his mind so that chances of shooting in are slim. Likewise, the goal-keeper minimizes his own image as if he couldn't defend the goal successfully.
Obviously, the purpose of the picture is to let us know how improtant self-confidence is in our daily life. On account of the quickening pace of life, competition becomes more and more fierce in all walks of life, imposing tremendous pressure on all individuals. The past few years have witnessed dramatic increase in the difficulty of examinations and employment. We must maintain powerful self-confidence and optimism in the face of challenges so as to survive and succeed. Suppose we are inclined to overestimate our rivals or problems and neglect our ability, we will become hesitating and doubtful of ourselves, unable to fulfill even a simple task. Therefore, it is necessary to embrace the strong faith that we are indomitable and invincible.
A case in point is the world famous star hurdler, Liu Xiang. He invariably imagines positively that he can win in every hurdle race, never shrinking in front of other experienced players. That's why he works wonders again and again. As for me, I am participating in the college admission examination for graduates with thousands of competitors. Having prepared sufficiently for one year, I have powerful self-assurance that I can cruise to my dream university. As the saying goes, our only enemy is ourselves. Only by building strong self-confidence can we demonstrate grace under pressure and turn our dreams into reality.
[范文评析]
根据提纲要点,作文可分为三段。首段仍然是描述图画信息,先说明是场足球赛,之后进入射门球员和守门员的细节描述。巨大的压力之下,射门球员在把对手想象得过于高大,以至于自己很难把球射中;而守门员把自己想象得过于渺小,似乎球门到处都是漏洞,很难守住。显然,两个人都因紧张而失去了自信。
第二段可以从足球赛引申到我们的生活,日渐加快的生活节奏、竞争加剧、考试残酷而就业艰难,种种挑战都需要我们树立强大的自信,如果总是高估问题和对手而看轻自己。我们就会犹豫怀疑而无法成功。
按照提纲要求.第三段举一个和多个例子都可以。在自信方面刘翔是中国人都知道的例子.他因自信而百战百胜.创造了世界记录。考生也能自然想到自己的奋斗.没有自信考研无法成功。也可以举反面的例子,某某如何缺乏自信而导致失败,当然作文的惯例是在结尾走向正面总结,强调自信确实非常重要。
