Sample:
The picture describes a match of kicking the ball: the person on the left has just kicked the ball toward the person on the right, who has already been ready to kick the ball back. A close examination will help us find out that this is a match between the producer and the seller—both of them refuse to take on the responsibility whenever the customer reports a problem.
We can’t forget those days in the past when we went shopping. The shop assistant was so cold and indifferent that we usually had to wait for long. We often had no right of comparing and selecting. Later when we found there was something wrong with the product, the chance of getting it exchanged was slim, not to mention returning it to the shop. The shop always said the producer was to blame, and if we went to the producer directly, the latter would say that it was not common practice for a customer to contact the producer. Even if we finally succeeded in exchanging the product, it always took too much time and wasted too much energy.
In the present environment of market economy, we are happy to see that the situation in our nation has improved significantly. When a customer is not satisfied with a product, he is entitled to return it to the store and get refunded during a certain period of time. If that time limit has passed, the customer still has the right to get the product exchanged.
In this era of fast economic development, both the producer and the seller should first cater to the needs of the customer. Anyone who fails to do so will be driven out of the market sooner or later.

首段先写
到一场足球比赛，而后仔细一看，原来是生产者和销售商在产品质量出现问题时将消费者推来搡去。
第二段用六句话描述我们曾经有过的痛苦的经历。第一句话是个引子。第二、三句描写购物时不愉快的经历。第四句说发现质量问题后，要换非常麻烦，更用不着说是退了。第五句话生动地再现了销售者和生产商都拒绝负责的情形。末句说即使最后商品得以调换，也花费了大量的时间和精力——话语中充满了无奈。
第三段说现在的情况已大幅改善。顾客有权在一段时间内退货，如果期限已过，也可以换货。段中be entitled to表示“有权利
某事”，refund表示“退款”。
末段总结。第一句说在这个经济快速发展的时期，生产商和销售商都应把顾客的需求放在首位。第二句反过来说，任何做不到的人都迟早会被市场淘汰。

首段由远
近的写法非常有效。第二段以时间为线索，描述了过去不愉快的经历。这一段以时间为线索，所以即使句子较多，也丝毫不显得凌乱。第三段说明了现在的情形，与第二段形成鲜明的对比。末段
说加反说的办法很有说服力。

该图画描写的是一个敏感的社会问题——平价药店受到各方遏制的现象。这篇文章的难度比较高。在描述图画后，可分三段来写：先写药价偏高的现象，再写平价药店的崛起及受到的压制，最后写解决办法。
Sample:
We can see from the picture that several people are condemning a person so violently that it seems that some of them even want to beat him hard. The person has crouched down, with virtually no possibility of striking back. After looking at the picture carefully, we realize that the lowprice drugstore has evoked anger and even hatred in many drug factories, various dealers, traditional drugstores and hospitals.
As we all know, the price of drugs in our nation has been too high for quite a long time. After drugs are produced in factories, they go first to the chief dealer, then the subsidiary dealer, and then finally to the hospitals and drugstores. Such a traditional mode of drug circulation drove the total medical expenses higher, putting a heavy burden on urban and rural residents alike.
The rise of lowprice drugstores changes the situation completely. When drugs succeed in flowing to such drugstores immediately after production, the cost of management becomes much lower, thus selling drugs at a much lower and reasonable price also becomes possible. But such operation irritates many parties who feel that their interests have been hurt in the process. Among them are dealers, traditional drugstores, hospitals and even some factories. When all of them combine to oppose the newcomers, the existence of these new drugstores is at risk.
I believe that the government should endeavor first to foster such drugstores and then to reform the drug circulation and the medical system as a whole. When we give priority to the interests of the common people, the making of a harmonious society will not be difficult.

该文共分四段。第一段还是采用先描写图画表层表现的打斗场
，而后再进一步引出本文的主题——新生的平价药店受到各方打压。
第二段写了药价过高的现象及其原因。主要原因就是药店流通环节过多，层层加价，给居民带来了巨大的负担。
第三段先写了平价药店的诞生改变了当前的局面。之后写了
们激怒了利益受损的各方，其中有销售商、传统药店、医院和一些药厂。当它们群起攻之时，新的平价药店的生存就受到了威胁。
第四段写政府应当扶植这些平价药店，并改革药品流通和整个医疗体系。最后进一步说，当我们首先考虑普通大众的利益时，和谐社会的构建就不是难事了。
