It seems to be a simple picture of two boys and a bottle.
I see two boys and a bottle on the ground. The boy on the left says, “Terrible! There’s nothing left.” The boy on the right says, “Wow, there’s some left.”
The boy in a green T-shirt focuses on the loss and the boy in an orange T-shirt focuses on what is left.

图画类的材料直观、形象、生动,具有很大的自由发挥空间。所以,近几年一直是高考英语短文写作题的重要考查形式之一。
图画类作文的材料一般是一幅或几幅图片,可能以漫画形式出现,其写作题材不固定,可以记叙,可以说明,也可以议论,但无论何种形式、何种体裁,其写作的过程及要求基本相同。
图画类作文一般分为三段描述,第一段用来描述图片并说明寓意,一般用一句话概括总结。第二段分析原因。第三段发表评论或提出建议。第二段和第三段是文章的主体。
图画类作文
1. 认真观察图片所表达的内容或内涵。分清图与图之间的关系,并且考虑到图片表达的是何时,何地,什么人,什么事,过程和结果等。
2. 考虑用什么样的题材来记叙,说明,议论,从而确定你的写作模式。如果是日记,通知,要注意其格式,如果是书信,邮件,博客,要注意其特定的要求或组成部分。如果是议论,则要把握好论点的设立、论据的选择和论证的拓展等。
3. 恰当使用关键词。文章的过渡词、过渡段在图画类的短文写作中起着关键的润滑作用,如何串点成文、整体规划,关键词必不可少。
4. 巧设开头及结尾。如何开头才能做到先声夺人,怎样结尾才能令人回味无穷,这也是要考虑的问题。
6. 写作模板

Come Back to Reality
As is shown in the picture, a woman is sitting in front of the computer and trying to add more friends to her Facebook. Just outside the door, some people are eagerly watching her, hoping to make friends with her.
This picture reminds me of many young people who are computer addicts. They lose themselves in the virtual world and if it continues, they will eventually be cut off from reality.
There is no doubt that the virtual world can be exciting, but that's not the reason for us to go too far. Too much time and energy devoted to the Internet can lead to a disaster, mentally and physically. The real world that we live in is what counts.
As for myself, I'll devote myself to worthwhile things in real life. Only in this way can I make my life full and valuable.
