圖畫作文歷來是英語四級考試的常考內容，下面，就爲大家送上一篇英語四級圖畫作文範文，希望大家喜歡。
題目：
directions: for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture
below. you should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and
comment on parents’ role in their children’s growth. you should write at least 150
words but no more than 180 words.
“good news mom! i was accepted to the college of your choice.”
參考範文：
parents’ role in their children’s growth
as is prescribed in the picture, the girl told her mother, “good news mom! i was accepted to the college of your choice.” we can infer that the mom chooses college for her child, but should the parents make such decision for their children? as far as i concerned, parents can give advice for their children instead of making decisions for them.
firstly, parents always want to give their children the best, however, they cannot completely understand their children’s interest and can’t sure what the most suitable is to their children. they just give their children what they consider the best, regardless of what their children want and what they like. so the best way to show your love is to respect children’s choice. secondly, the children should responsible for their own life. parents can company their children decades of years, but they cannot company their children’s whole life. parents can give their children advice, but teach their children to be independent is more important in their growth.
to sum up, parents can give their children advice, but they should respect their children’s choice. after all, children will grow up one day, and they must learn how to live independent and be responsible for their own life.
最後附上2017年的英語四級作文點評：
看到這次的作文題，就問你——驚不驚喜?意不意外?
這次的作文不是大家最熟悉的議論文，而是大家本就不是很熟練的應用文!而且是應用文體裏面最沒有存在感的——廣告!
其實大家也沒必要因爲沒有寫過廣告類的文章而慌了神。“應用“文體，重點在於“應用”，所以寫作的時候，實實在在的“按需而寫”就可以了;
Step 1:
其實作文的題目已經把要寫的“需求”都寫得很清楚了，大家考場上需要做的，就是先仔細審題，把下面這些關鍵字先圈出來：
Sell a computer: used(所以不是新的電腦), brand, specifications/features, condition and price, and your contact information
Sell a bike: used(所以不是新的電腦), brand, features, condition and price, and your contact information
Sell course books: a brief description of their content, their condition and price, and your contact information.
注意：雖然題目中說的`是“you may include …”, 但是作爲賣二手貨的“廣告”，有些必要的信息是一定不能漏的——condition, price and contact information—— 所以這三個信息在三套寫作題裏都出現了，說明十分重要!這次很多考生，因爲害怕涉及個人信息泄露，就自動忽略了“contact information”，亦或是寫到最後，就忘記附上這一點了。這樣沒有個人聯繫方式的廣告，本就違背了“應用”文的寫作目的，所以最後寫作分數上也一定會受到一些影響。
Step 2:
按照最舒服的“三段式”，安排廣告信息，做一個簡單的草稿;草稿就是“結構 + 關鍵詞”就可以了。大家可以參考一下下面這個格式：
P 1: 自我介紹 + 背景原因 (我是誰，我要幹什麼，我爲什麼要賣這個電腦)
P 2: 所賣東西的細節信息：brand – XXX; features — fast, reliable, suitable seat, strong tires …; price — 以前多少錢，現在多少錢;
P 3: 如何練聯繫我…
Step 3
按照自己寫的大綱，完成文章即可!
注意，遇到和單車，電腦有關的專有名詞不會寫怎麼辦?—— condition不需要寫太詳細，挑自己會寫的大方向寫就好了;比如單車很舒服啊(suitable)，電腦還很新啊(brand new)，就可以了;總之，寫作儘量減少自己的語言錯誤!應用文的用語不需要太高端大氣上檔次的!
