7. 圖畫作文：愛心/社會(huì)公德

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your views on the importance of love. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.

The picture below illustrates the real meaning of love, by stressing the fact that love is emotional strength, which can support us no matter how dark the world around us becomes. As a matter of fact, throughout history people of many different cultures have regarded love as the most sublime of human emotions.

As an illustration of the power of love, we should remember how the Chinese people of all nationalities respond to the call to help the victims of the deadly earthquake in Sichuan Province in 2008. Although their incomes are still low by international standards, people all over the country do not hesitate to donate whatever they can——be it money or goods——to help their needy fellow citizens. Furthermore, they do this with no thought of gain for themselves.

It is my view that the best way to show love is to help people who are more unfortunate than we are. Only by doing so can we help to make the world a better place.

下面的圖畫注解了愛的真正含義，它強(qiáng)調(diào)了愛心是情感的力量，不論我們周圍的世界多麼黑暗，愛心都能支撐我們。事實(shí)上，歷史上處於不同文化中的人們都把愛當(dāng)作人類最高尚的情感。

舉一個(gè)例子証明愛心的力量，我們應(yīng)該記得2008年中國各族人民如何響應(yīng)號召去支援四川地震中的受難者。盡管他們的收入按照國際標(biāo)準(zhǔn)衡量還是處於低水平，但是全國人民毫不猶豫地盡他們所能捐獻(xiàn)——不管是錢，還是物品——去幫助那些受難的同胞們。並且，他們這麼做不考慮自己的得失。

我認(rèn)為，表示愛心的最好方式是幫助比我們更加不幸的人。這樣，我們能夠助一臂之力把世界變成一個(gè)更美好的地方。
