審題立意
1. 導(dǎo)語(yǔ)解讀：要求考生描述圖畫(huà)內(nèi)容并就現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的鄰里關(guān)系發(fā)表自己的看法。
2. 文章立意：鄰里關(guān)系很淡漠，有的鄰里之間甚至從不溝通和交往。因此，構(gòu)建和諧的鄰里關(guān)系，促進(jìn)人們之間的互信及和諧十分重要。
寫(xiě)作思路

2. 第二段通過(guò)分層論證的方式闡述鄰里之間缺乏溝通的原因。
3. 第三段論述鄰里關(guān)系的重要性，強(qiáng)調(diào)鄰里之間要加強(qiáng)溝通。
參考范文
As is vividly depicted in the picture, two women living door to door are asking the surname of each other as if they are complete strangers. As a matter of fact, one has lived here for 5 years while the other for 6 years. 1 The message conveyed in this picture is self-evident: modern people attach less importance to the relations with their neighbors. 1
Two reasons can explain this phenomenon. In the first place 2 , modern Chinese are more mobile. Instead of settling down in the same place for life, city dwellers especially the young are accustomed to changing their residency and houses. As a result, a harmonious neighborhood has weakened in their life. In the second place 2 , modern people attach more importance to privacy. They do not hope to interfere with others’ business. Meanwhile, they do not want their own personal life intervened.
From my perspective, neighbors are among the most intimate groups of people we deal with and the relations with neighbours should be highly valued, for a harmonious neighborhood contributes vastly to cultivating a social climate of honesty and trustworthiness. 3 We have every reason to believe that we can build a better world through developing a harmonious neighborhood. 4
圖片生動(dòng)地描繪了兩個(gè)門(mén)對(duì)門(mén)住著的女人正在互問(wèn)姓氏，好像她們之間完全是陌生人似的。但事實(shí)上，一個(gè)人已經(jīng)在這里住了五年，而另一個(gè)住了六年。圖片傳達(dá)的信息不言而喻：現(xiàn)代人不太重視鄰里關(guān)系。
有兩種原因可以解釋這種現(xiàn)象。首先，現(xiàn)代中國(guó)人的流動(dòng)性更強(qiáng)，比起在一個(gè)地方定居度過(guò)一生，城市居民，尤其是年輕人，習(xí)慣不斷改變他們的住所或房子。結(jié)果導(dǎo)致和諧的鄰里關(guān)系漸漸在他們的生活中弱化。其次，現(xiàn)代人更注重隱私，他們不想干涉他人的事情，同時(shí)也不想讓別人干涉自己的生活。
在我看來(lái)，鄰居是和我們相處的最親密的群體之一，鄰里關(guān)系應(yīng)該受到高度重視，因?yàn)楹椭C的鄰里關(guān)系對(duì)培養(yǎng)誠(chéng)實(shí)和相互信賴的社會(huì)風(fēng)氣大有裨益。我們完全有理由相信，通過(guò)培養(yǎng)和諧的鄰里關(guān)系，我們可以讓世界變得更加美好。
