本次考試的小作文非常簡單：要求寫一封致圖書管理員的建議信。小作文只要能寫到100字即可，而它的開頭、結尾又有很多句式可以套用，比如第一段開門見山交待寫信目的、最后一段表示感謝，高度模式化。在信的中間部分隨便湊上兩條建議，每條建議后面展開一兩句就可以超出最低字數了。文字方面保證文理通順即可。如果事先能背一兩句模式化的正式表達就肯定能達到7、8分的標準。如果再能有點句型和用詞的變化則大功告成可以穩拿9到10分了。

例文：

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am Li Ming, a freshman majoring in Computer Science & Application at this university. I am writing this letter on behalf of all the students to offer some advice on your service and management.

First of all, I am wondering if you can extend your opening hours. The library is believed to be a paradise for us students in scorching summer and freezing winter. But every morning we have to queue in the biting wind at the gate of the library waiting to be let in.

Besides, I would like to draw your attention to the software you are using now – it is much too outdated and has proved to be a time waster for its users. It is estimated that we have to spend an hour searching for a book on the average. To make the matter worse, it often breaks down without warning. In that case, we can do nothing but to wait for another hour until it gets started.

We would be grateful if you could take measures to improve your service and management. Thank you for your attention to this letter.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming

今年的大作文倒是很有點麻煩。

首先它沒有明確的文字提示。從97年開始，考研英語寫作命題形式發生變化，原來的命題作文改成了圖畫、圖表作文。但歷年來不論圖畫、圖表，旁邊文字總還有點文字提示。提示部分不管多少，不管中文、英文，總還能為我們審題構思提供一點幫助。而今年的圖畫作文除了幾點泛泛的要求和一個看似讓人莫名其妙的圖畫就什么都沒了?？荚嚤緛硇那榫秃芫o張，時間又短。一下子看不懂圖畫的寓意給很多考生的寫作增加了不少難度?？己笥锌忌貞浾f：不知道圖畫講什么，也不知道自己寫了什么。反正亂七八糟寫了一氣好歹把字數湊起來了。這樣的文章能得多少分令人擔憂。

即使看懂漫畫寓意，文章如何展開也有些棘手。因為今年這篇文章屬于考研寫作中考得相對較少的“觀點論證”類，而不是屬于考得比較多、大家比較熟悉的那種“現象、問題”類。對于后一類文章，我們往往可以采取“分析原因、列舉影響”的方法來展開，這類文章的起承轉合往往有明確的模式，并且不論對于什么現象或問題我們甚至可以在考前預先準備一些常見的原因和影響。但對于“觀點論證”類文章很難有明確的既定模式，事先準備的材料如果文不對題會很牽強。這是使得今年的大作文難寫的第二個原因。

但也正因為缺少明確的提示，我們就有了更多自由發揮的空間。從圖中我們可以比較清楚地看出：攻守雙方都將對手想象得過于強大而對自己的能力失去自信。因此，我們最好將文章中心定位于“自信的重要性”。但如果寫成“如何面對壓力”，“最大的敵人是自己”，“充分的準備是自信的源泉、成功的關鍵”等等都未嘗不可。

如果把文章的中心定位于“自信”，如果對“觀點論證”類的文章感到無從下筆，我們就把它當作“現象、問題”類來對付也未嘗不可。比如，我們可以來分析，為什么有些人在競爭中缺少應有的自信？有些人是屬于“平時不燒香”，有些人是由于“心里有問題”，另一些人則可能是“實戰無經驗”。然后我們可以簡單談談其后果。當然，在文章中好歹要寫出一兩個例子。哪怕是一句話提到一個例子也表示我們沒有完全拋開提綱。否則有偏題的嫌疑。

對一般同學來說，比較可行的方法是舉出一個例子支撐觀點（如下文中王勵勤技術加自信成就天下第一），寫幾句正反闡述強調觀點（Were it not for confidence, Wang couldn’t have won the championship, were it not for confidence, Edison couldn’t have gone through the countless frustrations he experienced, were it not for confidence, the Allies couldn’t have enjoyed the remarkable triumph over the Axis）, 再加上一兩個數據論證證明觀點（According to statistics from a recent survey, most people who excel in their fields have strong confidence in themselves）。這樣主體段落也就差不多了。

至于開頭、結尾不管什么文章多差不多。如果平時有足夠的練習，基本不需要花時間思考可以一揮而就。所有考研作文的開頭至少包含兩部分：描寫和點題?！艾F象問題”類文章還可以來一兩句背景介紹。這次的作文屬“觀點論證”，本來不好寫背景介紹，但我還是在文章一開始寫了幾句（下文第一段）。大家可以看出這純屬多余。之所以加上這一段是想告訴考生朋友背景介紹可以怎么寫，另外想告訴大家只要想用某種方法總可以用上。結尾段一般是總結加建議。這種寫法大家都很熟悉。下文稍有變化用了“引用名言”法。其實這種方法放在中間也未嘗不可。

文章無定法，功到自然成。圖畫既無題，天馬可行空。

例文：

In his life, man is always engaged in endless battles to win, to win admission to a prestigious university, to win a scholarship at an attractive program, or to win a desirable post in a world-renowned company… In these battles, some win while others lose. Among those unfortunate losers, some are beaten by their rivals, but most, I should say, are beaten by themselves.

As is described in the cartoon, in the field stand two footballers: one is ready to shoot while the other prepared to defend. However, both of them have been beaten before the game – not by their opponents but by themselves, because they think of each other as too powerful. Obviously what is described in the given cartoon reveals a widely accepted truth: only when we believe in ourselves can we achieve success.

Take Wang Liqing, the No. 1 pingpong player in the world for example. His unbeatable techniques and talents have long been proved by his innumerable triumphs over all his opponents. However, he failed our expectation every time he participated in such important events as the Olympic Games. What was wrong with him? He had no self-confidence in spite of his excellence. He was too nervous to bring his talents in full play. It was only after experts helped him overcome his psychological obstruction that he began to assert himself as the real No.1.

Wang’s case is not unique. In fact, there are few places that you cannot find such stories. It is often reported that an all-A student fails to pass an exam, an outstanding candidate fails to list his name at a certain program, a highly intelligent jobseeker fails to be employed – all because of the lack of self-confidence.

“If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.” From the examples mentioned above we can safely conclude that self-confidence is a must for anyone who desires to survive and thrive in this world characteristic of fierce competitions. Therefore, it is advisable for us to bear in mind in whatever a tough situation, “I can do it if I think I can”.
