　　年份1999200020012002我國城鎮登記失業人數(萬人)575595681770我國城鎮登記失業率(%)3.13.13.64.0該文可分三段來寫。第一段描述圖畫。第二段分析該現象產生的原因。第三段談該現象的現狀。In the picture, we can see that the old man, with a stick in one hand, although sweating heavily and breathing hard, can hardly keep up with the young man who is looking back with a smile on his face while darting forward. The old man signals “low income” and the young man represents “high housing price”.

　　Three reasons, in my belief, can account for this phenomenon. First and foremost, with the deepening of reform and acceleration of urbanization, more and more people want to settle in big cities and buying an apartment is the best way to merge into the local community. Furthermore, more and more local and foreign investors flood into the housing market, pushing the already soaring price to an even higher level. Last but by no means the least, in many cases Chinese people often can not gain the sense of security completely until they have owned their own apartment—they will save every penny just to fulfill this lifelong dream.

　　We are happy to see that the problem has become not so serious up until this moment. The chief reason is that the government has issued the policy to limit the investment in the second apartment and build up more apartments for low�瞚ncome families. I personally believe that more and more people can change their traditional mode of thinking—they can rent an apartment, which is much less expensive. In this case, they can improve their living quality and thus live a better life.第一段首句描述圖畫，第二句講明老人與年輕人分別表示什么。

　　第二段分三點來講該現象產生的原因。首先隨著改革的深化和城市化的加速，越來越多的人把買房作為融入當地社區的手段。其次國內外投資人蜂擁入市，將居高的房價進一步推高。第三，中國人的“沒有家就沒有安全感”的傳統觀念揮之不去，所以省吃儉用也要買房。

　　第三段首先講該現象已不那么嚴重了,原因是政府出臺政策的結果。然后提出個人建議，更多人可以選擇租房。 對于社會現象，許多同學有一個疑惑：如果我的分析不夠全面、深入怎么辦？其實大家只要盡力而為就可以了。特別是對社會爭議很大的問題，大家進行認真的思考與推理，得出自己的結論，即使可能不完善、不專業，也是值得贊揚的。一方面，閱卷老師更重視語言；另一方面，只要行文能自圓其說，不出現巨大錯誤，就不會因此而失分。
