Ⅰ 写图画类作文
写作指导
本单元的写作任务是“看图写作文”。图画类作文要求对一幅或多幅图画进行分析，表现其内容和寓意。关于从自然中获得某个道理的文章，属于记叙文。这类文章主要是阅读与自然有关的故事或者分析反映某种自然现象的图画，从而提炼出关于人生的道理。这些道理往往含有一定的哲理性，对我们具有启迪和教育意义。
写图画类作文的基本结构通常为：
第一部分：写出标题。标题要切合图画内容。
第二部分：适当分析并简要描述图画内容。注意语言的简练，避免冗余表达。
第三部分：图画隐喻。充分发挥想象，根据图画内容，详细描述图画隐含的寓意。提出的观点要有说服力，隐喻恰当，充满哲理。
典例展示
下面是一幅有关落叶的图画。根据图画写一篇80词左右的短文，描述这幅图画表现的自然现象以及你从中领悟到的道理。

[参考范文]
Boys and girls，
As we all know，nature is often regarded as our best teacher，so it's not surprising for us to draw wisdom from it.As long as we carefully observe and study，we will take inspiration from it.As the picture shows，there are two birds，one sleeping while the other with a worm in its mouth just after the sun rises.This presents a well-known Chinese idiom：“The early bird catches the worm.”
The idiom reminds us of the importance of diligence.It is also a metaphor that preparation plays an important role on the road to success.Opportunities are always for those prepared minds，and only when we are well-prepared can we make achievements and attain our goals.
Ⅱ 读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sam was a junior high school student.He lived in a community in Charlotte and usually had little exposure to country life.So much of what he knew about plants came from textbooks.Sam was a kind-hearted person.He longed for a chance to explore nature and he wanted to do his part to beautify the world.
Finally，the opportunity came.On Arbor Day(植树节)，his class organized a trip to a local village to plant trees.Sam was excited about it and couldn't wait to tell his mom the good news.So the next day，Sam and his mom went to buy some tools for planting trees，including a shovel(铲)，a bucket，gloves and so on.
On the day of the event，Sam and his classmates arrived early at the starting point.It was a beautiful day and everyone looked particularly happy.With the tools in hand，Sam got into the bus with everyone else and headed off to their destination.
As soon as they reached the village，all the students were divided into three teams by their teacher.One team was responsible for planting the trees，one team for shovelling the soil and one team for watering the trees.At the teacher's command，everyone started to do their job.
However，it was the first time that many of the students had taken part in planting trees，so they had no idea about how to start.Of course，Sam was one of them.Fortunately，their teacher was a middle-aged man from the countryside who had some knowledge of planting trees.In order to set an example to the students，the teacher started to plant trees himself.After watching the teacher plant the trees，everyone also became busy.Before long，they planted hundreds of trees.Sam watched very carefully，not wanting to miss any of the details.Finally，Sam learned how to plant trees by himself and felt happy.
