一、审题与谋篇

本题要求写一封投诉信。写投诉信的目的是表达不满、愤怒等情绪，并希望遇到的问题能够得到解决。投诉的原因多种多样，如：顾客投宿服务或产品的质量差、价格高、没有达到标准；学生投诉食堂的饭菜又贵又难吃；居民投诉附近噪音大等。由于写信的目的主要是希望自己的声音能被听到，问题能够快速得到解决，因此写出恰当而有力的投诉信是非常重要的。写此类信时应尽量保持一种礼貌而坚定的语气，不能恐吓或威胁。注意用简洁而切题的方式把问题陈述清楚，详细描述所投诉的产品或服务，说明给你带来的不便，陈述你希望得到的问题解决方式，可以明确时间的期限。此外，写信时应表示出对得到公正对待的自信，但避免过于情绪化。

指导语中给出的情景是托运行李在航班上丢失，信的内容包括：（1）介绍你的行李所发生的状况；（2）说明行李的具体特征；（3）希望得到的赔偿。

二、 参考范文

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing because I need to complain to you about what happened to my luggage carried by your airlines. On Friday, June 2, 2006, I traveled on your airlines from Beijing to Paris. When I went to pick up my luggage in Paris, I was informed that it was missing. The lost luggage is a black suitcase, 50 cm in length and 30 cm in width, in which there are five volumes of valuable research papers. If they cannot be found for me, I am sure that you will agree to pay me ￥1000, the estimated worth of my luggage on my claim ticket, to compensate for my great loss.
I have always enjoyed the good service of your airlines, and I look forward to receiving the same kind of good service in this matter.
Sincerely
Li Ming

一、 审题谋篇

本题为图画式作文。一篇好的作文首先要中心明确，所以考试中，确定主题也成了我们的第一要务。由于指导语对主题的提示较少，所以本篇作文的关键是看图，尤其是图画的题目。在图画中，我们可以看到一匹抬起前腿，将要驰骋的骏马，题目为：千里之行，是从第一步开始的。可见，文章主题应围绕"第一步"与"千里之行"的关系展开论述，可以讨论"起步"或"行动"的重要性。
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
范文一

As we can see in the picture, a horse is starting the first step in his journey vigorously. The prancing horse, together with the line of words beneath that every journey begins with the first step, implies the importance of beginnings, and the necessity of getting off to a right start in anything that one undertakes.

As we all know, the foundations of a building must be strong, or else the whole structure will fall down someday. The pioneering of any enterprise always contains the soul of it, in which is wrapped the whole motive, purpose and plan of the venture. The success of autumn crops depends on the initial steps taken in the spring. Therefore, it seems that the beginning point is dynamic and alive and often more important than any other point in the journey. When asked about the key to success, a successful author replied that the most helpful thing was to start writing. Without taking the first step, potential genius will contents itself with mediocrity. Only by trying, the first can produce the second, the second the third, and so on to the very goal.
In sum, there is a magic potential in the first step taken toward a successful end in view.

范文二
As we can see in the picture, a horse is taking his first step of a journey. This beginning seems to be hard and painstaking， but every journey begins with the first step. No matter what we are going to do, we should start with our action.

Though planning and dreaming is important, action is essential for our success. Maybe after all the efforts we still can't accomplish our aims, but taking no action can get us nowhere. For example, some students often complain about their bad luck when getting low marks in an exam; however, the reason for their failure is that most of them don't listen carefully in class nor review their lessons after class. By contrast, those who get high marks have devoted much time and effort to learning. The most accomplished people in the world always have a history of making perseverant efforts, as Madam Cury and Edison did as scientists, Beethoven and Bach did as musicians, Marx and Confucius did as philosophers.

In short, no pains no gains. Let us put our plans and aims into action. Only after great effort can we get what we want and live an accomplished life; otherwise, our life will be full of failure and disappointment, which is surely no one's choice.
