“看圖作文”題要求考生根據(jù)圖畫內(nèi)容、所給的關(guān)鍵詞、所提供的題材寫出一篇語法正確、意思連貫、符合邏輯的英語短文。下面談?wù)劇翱磮D作文”題的解題步驟與思路：

1. 審清題意

考生在動筆之前要認(rèn)真閱讀命題人提出的要求，明確作文的中心思想，確定重點內(nèi)容。它可以是記敘文，也可以是說明文?？忌鷳?yīng)先根據(jù)圖畫和試題的要求來確定文體。

2. 觀察圖畫，發(fā)揮想象，構(gòu)思文章

看懂圖是寫好短文的前提。看懂圖，可以幫助確定文體、人稱和時態(tài)。如果是一篇日記或故事，宜采用一般過去時；如果是人或事的簡介，宜采用一般現(xiàn)在時?？忌诳磮D時要觀察人物及人物的動作、行為、表情及他們之間的關(guān)系。此外，還要確定物品及物品的形態(tài)、位置、大小以及事件的背景等?？忌\用想象力，對圖畫內(nèi)容進(jìn)行必要的發(fā)揮和延伸。之后要認(rèn)真研讀英文提示詞語，以免遺漏其中的“要點”。

3. 找重點，列提綱，逐圖描述

寫作前，考生應(yīng)先在草稿紙上列一個提綱。這樣做，就能使寫作思路清晰，避免涂改，節(jié)省時間。列提綱時，要求結(jié)合圖示，選定單詞、詞組、句式；要求盡量揚長避短，避難就易；還要求選用符合英文表達(dá)習(xí)慣的句式，充分利用提示詞語。逐圖描述時，圖文意思要一致，語言文字要連貫，語法要正確無誤。

下面是(2008年湖北咸寧市的中考“看圖作文”。

“地震無情，人有情”，大災(zāi)過后，災(zāi)區(qū)的小朋友們卻度過了一個自己終生難忘的“六一”兒童節(jié)!

請你仔細(xì)觀察下面的三幅圖，根據(jù)圖示內(nèi)容，以“A Special Children’s Day”為題，寫一篇短文。

提示詞語：from disaster areas(災(zāi)區(qū))，unforgettable(難忘的)

【思路點撥】 (1) 審題：看懂圖畫的基本含義：著名歌唱家和災(zāi)區(qū)的孩子們共度“六一”，災(zāi)區(qū)的孩子們度過了一個難忘的節(jié)日。 (2) 確定下列要點：① 著名歌唱家和孩子們一起過節(jié) ② 與災(zāi)區(qū)孩子們共度“六一” ③ 歌唱家送給孩子們禮物。 (3) 確定時態(tài)：用一般過去時。
