看图作文就是让大家借助于图片和内容提示，通过细致的观察和联想进行写作。 ［中考真题］2005年山西省（实验区）试题"书面表达"： 观察以下四幅图画写一篇短文。要求：意思完整；语言规范；50-60词。 ［写作指导］写作步骤如下： 1. 读图。 即分析图画所提供的信息，充分发挥自己的想象力，正确理解图中内容的确切含义。如图1所示：父母亲和"我"去公园。图2：在公园里划船。图3："我"抓鱼时不慎掉入水中。图4：母亲跳出水中把"我"救起。 2. 试写。 即根据图中情景及汉语提示来表达文章内容，充分发挥自己的实际水平，避难就易，一法不成，另找它途。如图1所示：My parents and I went to the park. 图2：We went boating on the lake. 图3：i was catching the fish when I fell into the water. 图4：My mother jumped into the water and saved me. 3. 扩写。 即适当增加情节和过渡性词语，把上述句子连贯起来。这里的扩写并不是毫无根据地简单地通过想象把试写内容拉长，而是紧紧围绕图片中心把试写内容进行扩充。使内容更丰富、人物活动更形象、事情过程更具体，因而增强文章的感染力。力争做到合理想象，用词得当，句子结构及语法运用正确，条理清楚。 ［参考例文］ last Sunday，my parents and i went to the park. We went boating on the water. There were some beautiful fish in the water. I couldn't help catching them. suddenly，I fell into the water. I was so frightened that I cried loudly. My mother jumped into the water at once and lifted me out of the water. I was saved. how dangerous the trip was！
