The picture shows us a dialogue between a father and a son. The son told his father, “Dad, I’m a bit worried about disposing of nuclear waste”. While his father told him, “If you can empty the dustbin here you can do anything”. It reveals the importance of doing small things well before undertaking something big. There is also an old Chinese saying to go with this that a person can’t sweep the world before he can sweep his own room.
I agree on the point that it is of great importance for a person to do small things well before undertaking something big. First of all, doing small things well entail the qualities that needed in doing great things such as patience and ability of controlling time. For example, when we sweep our room, we need to manage our time and energy reasonably. Accordingly, if we sweep a bigger room, for example, a classroom with our classmates, we should learn how to cooperate and allot assignments as well. And a big advantage is that we can draw useful lessons from the failure of performing well because they didn’t cost a lot.
In another word, though these things seem trivial, they reinforce our manipulative ability and thus our understanding to the world. Therefore, we should not ignore the small things.

016英语四级漫画作文预测四级英语很快就要到来了，英语是占据重要的部分，快来看看下面的范文及写作指导吧。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should express your views on the impact of air pollution. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
【参考模板范文】
The Impact of Air Pollution
The cartoon vividly reveals the phenomenon of air pollution or the decline of air quality. In the cartoon we can see the air pollution is so serious that the earth can't bear it.
What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Possible reasons can be listed as follows: firstly, vehicle exhaust gases could be one of the most leading causes. With the improvement of economy and people's living standard, urban inhabitants in mounting numbers own their private cars. More automobiles will inevitably generate more exhaust gases. Additionally, household appliances widely used in cities also release a great amount of carbon dioxide gases, which further intensifies air pollution. Last but not least, many factories around the cities emit large quantities of untreated poisonous gases, which should also be responsible for the decline of air quality.
Definitely, air pollution will exert a detrimental impact on many aspects of people's life. For example, many diseases such as cough, skin problem and lung cancer are caused by it. Perhaps it is high time that we should adopt some measures to solve the problem of air pollution.
英语漫画作文写作指导
第一、读图审题
四级漫画作文中的漫画通常反映一个社会现象或生活哲理，要求考生根据自己对漫画的理解来写作。因此，要写好四级漫画作文，审题格外重要。考生在下笔之前要仔细看漫画，弄清漫画的寓意，这是文章切题的保证。此外，在本次四级考试的三道写作题中，Directions部分都给出了写作内容的大致方向，这也为考生把握漫画寓意提供了帮助。下面笔者就来逐一梳理2013年6月四级作文的三幅漫画及其传达的寓意。
第二、谋篇布局
在把握文章的主旨之后，考生就可以构思整篇文章的架构了。四级漫画作文的写作可以分为下面三个段落。
第一段：开门见山，简要描述一下漫画内容，并指出漫画的寓意。描述漫画内容是为了揭示其中的寓意，是手段而不是目的，所以描述要简洁明快，一般来说一句话足矣。需要提醒考生的是，写作的Directions部分虽然给出了大致的写作主题，但是也要求考生对漫画进行简要描述，因此考生切不可抛开漫画内容直接展开议论。
第二段：表达考生对漫画寓意的看法，这是文章的重心所在。比如，就第一道写作题目而言，考生应在第二段阐述阅读文学作品的重要性;就第二道写作题目而言，考生应在第二段论述为什么凡事必须从小事做起;就第三道写作题目而言，考生应在第二段论述掌握基本技能的重要性。
第三段：指出漫画的寓意对大学生的教育意义，或者提出解决问题的建议。考生需要注意的是，结尾段一般并不需要实质性的分析，其主要作用是总结和升华，使文章结构完整。所以结尾段的写作要简明扼要，点到即止。
第三、论证方法
漫画作文的'第二段要表达考生对漫画寓意的看法，这是文章的核心段落，也是作文字数达到要求的关键。因此，考生在这一段要浓墨重彩，写深、写透。在写这一段时，考生要尽量摆事实、讲道理，避免空泛的议论。针对这一核心段落，笔者在此推荐以下三种展开议论的常用方法，希望对考生有所启发。
1.条分缕析
在写作第二段时，考生可以从2～3个方面对观点展开论述，这种写法可使文章显得层次清楚、条理清晰。例如，本次四级作文第一道题目的第二段需要阐述阅读文学作品的重要性，考生就可以从以下两个方面展开：第一，相对于电子媒体，文学阅读更能培养人的想象力;第二，阅读文学作品能够帮助我们更好地了解社会。请参考下面的范文。
There wasa time when children could relish (欣赏/ 也可以使用appreciate 替换 literature. But childrentoday can enjoy the sounds and action on a TV or computer screen. “So why bother reading?” some ask. The reasonis obvious： It enriches our imagination. When we read apiece of literature， we are living the life of RobinHood or starting an adventure with Tom Sawyer. In addition， literature is the mirror of society，whether it be poetry， drama or fiction. We know thesociety better through literature.
2.举例论证
如果漫画所传达的是抽象的人生哲理，那么考生在论述时最好能举出具体的事例，尽量避免空洞的说教。比如，就本次四级作文第二道题目而言，考生可以在第二段中举出一些成功人士如何从小事做起的例子。笔者下面提供的范文中用到的是哈兰·桑德斯上校从一个小吃店做起，最后缔造出遍布全球的肯德基快餐帝国的例子，用以证明只有从小事做起，才能成就大事。请看下面的范文。
Everything is smallbefore it is big. A good example is KFC. In 1930 Colonel Harland Sanders beganserving food to his service station customers in Corbin， a city in Kentucky. He fried chicken in his own kitchen andperfected his secret recipe there. From the small roadside eatery， he went on to build an empire of fast food.
3.类比论证
如果漫画中的寓意不容易通过具体的事例来证明，那么考生还可以使用类比论证的方法，即通过打比方来论证一个抽象的道理。比如，对于本次四级作文的第三道题目，考生可以在第二段中用学习打篮球的过程来打比方。学习打篮球时，只有先学会了投球、运球、传球这些基本技能，才能进一步学习高难度的技能。以此类推，无论做任何事情，只有掌握了基本的技能，才可能取得更大的成功。此外，考生还可以举出统计数字，用具体的研究结果来证明论点。请看下面的范文。
Simple as they mayseem， basic skills serve as the first link in the chain of success. Thisis analogous to learning to play basketball. If shooting， dribbling and passing are not mastered，learning advanced skills will become difficult， if notimpossible. A growing body of research has also documented that such basicskills as reading， writing and computing are highlycorrelated with success later in life. A 2012 study surveyed 300 CEOs ofFortune 500 companies and found that 87% attributed part of their success tothe basic skills they learned in primary school.

我们经常会在杂志上看到这样的报道-拥有傲人身材的模特说“爱吃的东西想吃多少就吃多少”。这时候你会说“她的体质
本书的作者村山彩，在接触了很多模特之后，告诉我们：原来他们是抛弃了错误的食欲，所以半夜根本就不想吃拉面。因此她向我们提出了一个独特的观点：只要拥有了正常的食欲，就根本用不着拼命忍耐，想吃什么就吃什么，还能轻松拥有健康不发胖的身体。
今天我们就来为大家总结食欲的那些事：“错误的食欲从哪里来？”、“如何恢复正确的食欲？”和“偶尔控制不住怎么办？”。它们能够帮助我们告别忍忍忍，轻松面对吃吃吃。
001 错误的食欲从哪来？
1.以刺激对抗刺激
为生计忙得不可开交的人，每天都要借酒消愁；忙碌的事业型女性，有时候会把桌子上堆放的一盒巧克力一扫耳光；身心俱惫的人们，会忍不住想吃辛辣的菜肴，甜腻的点心，油汪汪的炸货和薯片之类的东西；为家务事所累的家庭主妇，会不知不觉地把用来招待客人的点心吃光。
这些都是身体的自然反应：以刺激来对抗刺激。当感到疲劳时，总是会一吃再吃，因为此时需要接受来自食物的刺激-来自香甜气息或者油腻、辛辣的刺激。当疲劳已经导致身体产生不适的时候，“现在马上要吃”“要多多地吃”的***就会愈发强烈。身边那些容易到手的、刺激性强的食物就成为了“食欲”的`俘虏。
因此，为了获取与压力程度相当的刺激来抵消压力，我们就会吃掉很多身体原本不需要但大脑需要的一些“重口味”食品。
2.对零卡路里食物的误解
我们之所以会觉得光吃沙拉就健康，原因是以为只要摄入的热量不超标，就不会胖。基于此认识，现在零卡路里的食物超级流行。不管是食品还是饮料，大家都宣称自己是“零卡路里”。
零卡路里的食物确实不含有任何热量，但是为了保证口感，人们在食物里下了很多功夫。例如：零卡路里的甜饮料，肯定要加增甜剂。也就是说，零卡路的食物，人工添加剂的成分太多。
除此之外，因为只吃零卡路里的食物，那么摄入的热量减少，就会导致代谢缓慢，这样身努力达到“不用那么多热量也可以动”的低能耗状态。假设原先一天需要2000大卡的人，现在只要1500大卡就可以维持生存，那么即便是吃进去相同的食物，还是会变胖。
很多人认为既然既然是零热量，那就可以毫无顾忌地大吃特吃。实则吃进去了很多对身体不好的东西，甚至导致身体机能失调，这也是导致错误食欲的原因之一。
3 自我奖励
引发错误食欲的另一个原因是：自我奖励。比如说忙完一个项目或者拿到了奖金，总是要借着“奖励自己”的名义去扫荡街头甜品或者来顿丰盛大餐。
不过这真的是奖励吗？好像真不算是奖励。
因为大吃一顿之后，往往会产生“吃了那么多甜食，肯定要胖了”之类不安的想法，将自己置身于厌恶的深渊。这样不仅会给身体增加负担，还带来了很多精神压力。
想想看，最近这样“奖励”过自己多少次呢？
或许现在你已经开始意识到自己的错误食欲了，不过，不要太担心，我们接下来进入第二点。
002如何恢复正确的食欲？
这时候你可能会想：要控制、控制、再控制。“垃圾食品不能沾”、“重口味的菜品要少吃”、“油腻的东西不能碰”于是忌口的食品越来越多，只能拼命忍住***。
然而只想着改变饮食习惯只会让自己压力增大，变得痛苦，吃饭会变成一种义务或者是胁迫。最终导致的结果要么是在身体好转之前就放弃了“改变”饮食习惯的念头，要么就是食欲毫无变化，人生总在各种忍耐中度过。
1 做20分钟能出汗的运动
那么到底怎么做才能获取“正确”的食欲呢？答案是20分钟的运动。
为什么说只要运动就能恢复正确的食欲呢？因为这么做可以“改善体内循环，排除毒素“。人一旦运动起来，身体就会受到相应的刺激，原本沉睡在体内的物质就开始活跃起来。
以慢跑为例，通过运动可以牵引内脏，促进肠胃蠕动，缓解便秘；出汗能够排出体内废物，也达到了燃脂的效果。这就像是给身体做了一次大扫除，把积累下来的有害物质一扫而光。通过运动，身体清爽了，有利了，良好的“感觉”就可以逐渐在身体中复苏。于是身体就开始想要摄入真正需要的东西，食欲就开始慢慢恢复正常。
比如运动之后，人们会特别喜欢吃西红柿和黄瓜。原因在于身体在运动后会发热，而这两种蔬菜有冷却的作用。
通过运动，身体细胞被唤醒，恢复了本职工作，身体明白该吃什么，食欲也就恢复正常了。这个时候，身体会选择真正需要的食物，下面推荐适合运动前后的食物：
003偶尔放松没关系
即便是食欲恢复到正常状态，还是会有想吃甜食或者重口味东西的时候。
如果过分拘泥于正确的饮食，反而给自己施加压力。就像减肥会反弹一样，越是忍耐越容易招致反效果。
因此，偶尔迟钝垃圾视食品，或者偷懒不运动也无伤大雅。吃份甜点，或者点一碗油乎乎的拉面，也不做运动...过过这样的日子不要紧，因为你会从中收获一份愉悦感。这样身体和精神都能维持最佳状态，更有利于你持续坚持哦~
这里依然给出两点建议：
1.自己做做看
想吃甜食的时候，建议自己先做做看。当你自己亲自做一次蛋糕，就会发现要用到的砂糖和黄油的数量到底有多惊人，小山那样高的大半碗砂糖全都加进去，也只是让蛋糕达到普通的甜度而已。
亲身体会过，印象才会深。尝试过后，当吃到市面上卖的甜点时就会明白：“得加多少糖才会这么甜呀”。这样就不会无限制地去买点心和蛋糕了。
2 优雅进食
一顿饭可以随随便便地吃，也可以规规矩矩地慢慢享用。吃的时候，细嚼慢咽，一口一口慢慢吃，细细品尝，保持优雅美丽的进食姿态。这样不仅有助于食物的消化，更有助于保持内心的愉悦感，这时就算是聚餐不断，你也总能保持正常的食欲。
总结一下，食欲有正误之分，识别“错误的食欲从哪里来”；然后通过运动和合理的饮食恢复正确的食欲；适当给自己放松一下，保持身心愉悦的状态。
如果您大半生的人生已经浪费在“减肥”和“忍耐”上面了，如果你想从现在开始想过轻松的生活，想吃什么就吃什么，那就试试以上的方法吧~

In this picture, we can tell that the son is talking to his father about his concern about the nuclear waste. His father told him that if he can empty the dustbin first, he can do anything. This is an easy but very important story, telling us that we have to focus on things around our daily life first, and then the things great enough in the world.
In our daily life, it is very common to find some people that talk about their great minds on topics that far away from their lives. However, they provide little concern on staffs that around their own daily lives. These people are usually not very successful because their minds are beyond their grasp. To this end, students who want to be a better man, have to know that one can become greater and greater if they can complete things around their daily life well one by one. They may stand on the top of the mountain in the society finally.

Just as is revealed in the picture above, the young, nowadays, just like the boy in the drawing, are prone to reach for what is beyond their grasp, but ignore the significance of doing something trivial and simple before accomplishing great feats.
There is no doubt that the symbolic meaning subtly conveyed in the picture should be given deep consideration. As we all know, a man who does not sweep a room, doesn't mention to sweep the world. In other words, the foundations of a building must be strong, or else the whole structure will fall down someday. Therefore, when it comes to the key to success, the most important thing lies in doing every tiny thing well around you.
As the saying goes, “the highest eminence is to be gained step by step.” To achieve the goal, not merely do we need ambition; we also need to realize the importance of dealing with triviality from the beginning. Only in this way can we get on the way to success down to earth.

Dear Mary,
You said in your letter that many of your classmates wore fashionableclothes, but you couldn't afford them so you felt very depressed. There are dif-ferent views on people's clothes. The followings are my ideas:
Firstly, you shouldn't put too much emphasis on physical appearance.
Remember that the most important task for you today is to concentrate on yourstudies. No matter what you wear, you will really look your best when youcome out first in your examinations.
Secondly, you should understand that it is a fine virtue to live in fru-gality. Just as a famous saying goes, Frugality is the mother of virtue.
Since your family can't provide you with enough money to buy fashionableclothes, it is all the more necessary for you to try to lighten the financialburden of your family. And you will find the virtue of frugality benefit youa lot in your future life.
I hope you understand what I mean. Hope you will take a positive attitudetowards life and will be happy again when you read my letter.
Yours,
Anne
