　　Dear Editor(s),

　　I am writing this letter to draw your attention on “plastic pollution”. Though regulations that ban the free usage of plastic shopping bags have been put into effect，what is happening in some areas is less-than-satisfactory.

　　How to solve this problem effectively has become a hot issue among many people in recent years. As for me, I would like to make several suggestions. On the one hand, the governments should set up rules and regulations to control the productivity and circulation of the plastic bags. On the other hand, people should realize the significance of protecting our environment and not use too many plastic bags.

　　I would be greatly appreciated if you take my suggestions into consideration. And I sincerely hope that your Newspaper could help to solve the problem.

　　Yours faithfully,

　　Li Ming

　　本題漫畫中，一個大圈被分成若干格，每個格里都有一個人在上網。人們通過網絡聯系起來，形成一張如同蜘蛛網的錯綜復雜的關系網。再由題目《網絡的“近”與“遠”》，可以想到漫畫含義涉及網絡的兩個方面，一方面，網絡拉近了人們之間的距離，足不出戶便可進行交流;但另一方面，由于人們越來越依賴網絡，面對面交流的機會越來越少了。

　　圍繞這一主題，根據提綱要求，本文結構設計如下：

　　根據提綱中的信息1) describe the drawing briefly 第一段對漫畫進行簡單描述;

　　根據提綱中的信息2) explain its intended meaning 第二段揭示漫畫的含義，從正反兩方面論述，一方面，網絡為人們提供了便利的條件，使人們的交流更加便捷和迅速;另一方面，人們的現實交流越來越少了，感情似乎也疏遠了。

　　根據提綱中的信息3) give your comments 第三段表明作者的看法，即網絡使社會成員的聯系更加緊密，但在一定程度上也疏遠了人們之間的關系。

　　SAMPLE

　　The above picture gives a vivid description of a huge spider web which symbolizes Internet. There’s no doubt that Internet, an entirely new way of communication, is becoming so popular nowadays that it’s difficult to imagine modern life without it. It has revolutionized the way of people’s living and thinking, and has exerted a profound effect on our daily life.

　　Definitely, the symbolic meaning of the picture subtly conveyed should be taken into deep consideration. First of all, with the Internet, it is convenient and fast for people to have access to a variety of information and what they need to do is just to press key buttons. What’s more, the great utility of the Internet allow people within a company, across a nation or even around the world to work together. Finally, we can do almost everything via Internet. Specifically, we can conduct E-business, advertise our products, book an air ticket, buy and sell stocks, even hunt a new job through clicking the mouse. Nevertheless, it is a two-edged sword as well and has its own negative effects. Some people tend to spend hours on Internet for the sake of relaxation and develop addictions. As a result, the public have an emotional distance sometimes and thus few face-to-face communications in reality due to Internet addiction without self-restriction.

　　From what have been discussed above, it is clear that with a personal computer and modem, any individual can call up information about almost anything from almost anywhere and almost anytime on the web. All in all, Internet, an indispensable part in modern life, has the power to connect people and, yet, to some extent, alienate people in reality.
