52.一、 审题谋篇

本题为图画式作文。四个图画形成了两组对比，一组是横向对比，即农村与城市的对比；一组是纵向对比，即20世纪80年代与2000年以后的对比，因此考生描述图片时应首先想到使用比较论证手法。从比较中可发现，农村和城市居民的饮食结构在20年中都产生了变化，有意思的是，这种变化是城乡饮食结构的一种互换。考生显然不能遗漏这个重要信息，应就此进行分析和发挥。

再看指导语可知，文章应以图画展示的内容为主题，（一）描述图画；（二）阐述图画所要表达的含义；（三）发表自己的看法。

二、参考范文一
As is shown in the four pictures, there has been great change in Chinese diet since 1980s. Twenty years ago, people in the village always had corn, steam corn buns, sweet potatoes and vegetables as their main food. The urban people were comparatively rich, so they can afford the expensive dishes of rice, meat, eggs and fish daily. Nowadays it seems, to our surprise, the village people and city residents have exchanged their dinner tables.

The phenomenon reflects that people's diet concept is changing while their living standard is progressing. On the one hand, with the improvement of the villagers' living standard, the proportion of high-nutrition food, such as eggs and meat, has also increased in their diet. On the other hand, as many modern-day diseases, such as hypertension, high levels of blood lipids, and diabetes, are found to be diet-related disorders, the city dwellers have become more health-conscious, and they prefer the low-protein and high-fiber food to high-fat meals.

Of course, we can't judge hastily which eating habit is better, because only a balanced diet can benefit people's body. However, it is a pleasure to see more and more Chinese people are pursuing a better life by choosing a varied and balanced diet.
