一、 审题谋篇

本题为图表加提纲式作文。写图表式作文的关键之一是把握指导语，因为它给出了作文的基本要求，指出了写作的方向；其次是对图表中的相关数据进行描述、分析和评论，它们往往是写作的材料或论据。由本题的指导语可知：文章要求联系图表以彩票为话题，对越来越多的人喜欢买彩票这一现象发表评论。作文的基本框架应为：（一）描述现象；（二）分析现象；（三）发表你的看法。其次，两个图表显示的是两个调查结果。图表一反映了北京、上海、广州三个城市里梦想有一天中500万的人的比例，平均为70％。图表二反映了中奖后，人们想做的事。由分析可知，图表一可用于描述现象，图表二可用于分析现象，作为支持论点（支持或反对买彩票）的论据。

二、 参考范文
Nowadays, more and more people, especially in big cities, become interested in buying lottery tickets. According to chart 1, averagely 70 percent of those polled in the survey, held in three big cities, claimed to have dreamed of winning the big prize of five-million yuan. 85 percent of those polled in Guangzhou had had such a dream, compared with 65 percent and 60 percent, respectively, in Beijing and Shanghai.

The attraction of buying lottery tickets is obvious. The winner can get the biggest profit for the future with only a small investment. It realizes the beautiful dream of every participant-to be richer and to improve living standards. As is shown in Chart 2, should they win a big lottery, 81.3% of people would buy a new house, 61.9% would buy a car, and 61.7% would save the money for the education of themselves or their kids. And a great proportion of people say they would put the money in the bank or use it for investment or touring. Despite all the attractions brought by the lottery buying, it has also come under criticism. Some regard it as a kind of gambling, which is a potentially addictive behaviour.

In my opinion, buying lottery tickets is not so bad as some people think. Instead, it is good for society by creating new jobs and representing an important source of income for charity and sports causes. Of course, it is not a means of making money for individuals we should encourage, because the result is hardly predictable. Therefore, we should take a positive but cautious attitude towards lottery buying behavior.
