　　Study the following picture carefully and write an essay in which you should:

　　1. describe the picture;

　　2. interpret the meaning;

　　3. suggest possible solutions.

　　You should write 160~200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

　　審題：

　　該文的圖畫畫了兩個人望樓興嘆，很明顯該文談的是我國當前的房價過高、房地產行業如何良性發展的問題。

　　Sample:

　　In the picture, two people are talking about a newly built set of apartment buildings. One says, It is too expensive. The other goes on to say, How can we afford it? It is obvious that the drawer of this picture wants to draw our attention towards our real estate industry.

　　Nowadays, our real estate industry has experienced such an unprecedented boom that all of us begin to consider it as too hot in one way or another. The average price has been soaring for quite a few years. In some big cities it seems to be out of controlit has been nearly impossible for the common local citizens to afford a satisfactory apartment in the downtown area. Consequently, how to create a healthier and more reasonable property market has been a problem of great importance.

　　Among all the possible measures, I believe the following ones are the most appropriate. In the first place, the legislators should establish a series of policies so as to curb speculation and thus keep the price of houses at a reasonable level. In the second place, the governments at all levels should make better use of the limited land resources by building theme communities in the suburbs. Last but by no means the least, more economically affordable housing should be built so as to relieve the burden of common citizens.

　　Only through the joint efforts of all sides can we realize the healthy development of our housing market. Until that time, our people will surely possess their own houses and enjoy a better and more harmonious life.

　　點評：

　　該文分為四段來寫。第一段先描寫兩個人的對話。之后末句引到主題上，即我國的房地產行業。

　　第二段先寫當前房地產過熱，而后說價格猛漲。在某些大城市里房價似乎失控人們無力購房。末句寫創造健康理性的房地產市場成為了重要問題。

　　第三段分三點來寫應采取的措施。

　　最后一段做結，第一句承上段說只有各方通力合作才能實現房地產市場的健康發展。第二句說到那個時候，人們將能擁有自己的房屋并享受更好更和諧的生活。這一句是呼應第一段，非常重要。

　　心得：

　　文中real estate industry是房地產行業，而property market和housing market指的是房地產市場。

　　首段末句是引出主題的句子，請大家用心識記。

　　第二段首句是結果狀語從句的用法。第三句有破折號的用法。第四句中有平行的形容詞比較級的用法，相當精彩。

　　第三段首句是模板句。第二句中的curb speculation表示遏制投機。第三句中的theme communities表示主題社區。第四句中的economically affordable housing表示經濟適用房。

　　末段首句是倒裝句，語氣強烈。第二句有兩處平行結構，先有平行的動賓結構，后有形容詞比較級的平行，非常引人注目，特別是后面一對，一個是以er結尾，一個是加more，顯得錯落有致。
