審題立意
1. 導(dǎo)語(yǔ)解讀：要求考生根據(jù)漫畫(huà)的內(nèi)容就“放下包袱”這一話題進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)述，并闡述如何培養(yǎng)能力放下包袱。
2. 文章立意：雄心、抱負(fù)、理想等刺激我們不斷地追求，但如果包袱過(guò)重，壓力過(guò)大，我們一定無(wú)法支撐太久。因此，放下包袱、輕松前行很重要。

參考范文
As is shown by the drawing, a man could have gone easily with the bike but the heavy burden on his back almost overwhelmed him and he was too exhausted to go further. 1 The drawing is indicative of a phenomenon that many people tend to bear many burdens while not knowing how to ease them. 2 However, there’s no doubt that to ease the burden is of great importance to everyone. 3
How to develop your ability to ease the burden? In my opinion, there are some good ways to do that. 4
Learn to give up something unnecessary. There are probably many things you want to achieve. But due to the limited time and resources, it is impossible to achieve everything you want. If you try to do too many things at once, you’ll have to bear heavy burdens, which may give rise to your breakdown. You need to choose and prioritize. 5
Learn to reduce your stress. Pursuing too many things means giving you unnecessary pressure. Don’t let your ambition hinder you from enjoying your life. Avoid spreading yourself too thin and free up time to build meaningful relationships. 5
Only in this way can we lead a well-balanced life. 6
如圖所示，一個(gè)人騎車(chē)本可以很輕松地行走，但是他背上的重負(fù)幾乎將他壓垮，導(dǎo)致他太累而無(wú)法繼續(xù)走下去了。圖片表明了一種現(xiàn)象，很多人往往都能承受負(fù)擔(dān)，卻不知道如何減輕負(fù)擔(dān)。然而，減輕負(fù)擔(dān)對(duì)于每一個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)無(wú)疑都十分重要。
如何才能培養(yǎng)你減輕負(fù)擔(dān)的能力呢？我認(rèn)為，這里有幾個(gè)很好的方法。
學(xué)著放棄一些不必要的事情。也許有很多事都是你想去完成的。但是由于時(shí)間有限，資源有限，完成你想要的所有事情是不可能的。如果你試圖一次辦成過(guò)多事情，你就不得不承受沉重的負(fù)擔(dān)，這可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致你崩潰。你需要做出選擇和區(qū)分輕重緩急。
學(xué)著去減壓。追求太多的事物意味著給自己太多不必要的壓力。不要讓你的野心阻止你享受生活。不要讓自己同時(shí)做很多事情而心力交瘁，騰出時(shí)間去結(jié)交有意義的朋友。
只有這樣，我們才能有一個(gè)平衡的生活。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)

2. 自然過(guò)渡，引出放下包袱這一話題。
3. 首段末句明確表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)：放下包袱很重要。
4. 第二段承上啟下，用設(shè)問(wèn)提出如何放下包袱。
5. 分兩個(gè)層次論證了自己的觀點(diǎn)，論據(jù)充分，論證有力。
6. 末段總結(jié)全文，指出放下包袱的重要性。
要點(diǎn)用法
overwhelm v. 壓倒，壓垮
exhausted adj. 精疲力竭的
be indicative of 暗示，表示

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. As is shown by the drawing, a man could have gone easily with the bike but the heavy burden on his back almost overwhelmed him and he was too exhausted to go further.
此句中could have gone 是情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+ have done的用法，表示本可以做成某事卻沒(méi)有做成，是一種虛擬語(yǔ)氣。
2. The drawing is indicative of a phenomenon that many people tend to bear many burdens while not knowing how to ease them.
此句中that引導(dǎo)的是同位語(yǔ)從句，具體解釋phenomenon的內(nèi)容。
