The Student Union （113 words）

1） describe the picture briefly，

2） interpret the implied meaning， and

3） give your comments.

在下笔写漫画作文之前，我们要仔细观察漫画，因为弄清漫画的寓意对于写好漫画作文至关重要。在上面这幅图画中，左边的女生正在认真学习，心里想着“尽早完成才放心”;而右边的那个男生却坐在书桌前磨磨蹭蹭，想着“不到最后不动手”。我们结合图画下方的“习惯”二字，可以看出，这幅漫画的寓意是“养成良好习惯（对学习）很重要”。

这篇作文可以写三个段落。第一段先描述漫画，然后指出漫画的寓意。描述图画要简洁，一般两句话足矣。第二段论述习惯对学习的重要影响。我们可以从正反两个方面进行论证：先指出不良的学习习惯，比如拖延，会造成学生的学习成绩不佳;反之，良好的学习习惯有助于学业成功，比如，总是留出时间先完成作业是学习成绩优异的秘诀。第三段先总结全文，指出好习惯不但对取得好成绩重要，对长大后过上有意义的生活也很重要。最后建议大家养成好习惯，改掉坏习惯。

下面请看参考范文：

In the picture above， a girl is working assiduously， trying to finish her homework as soon as possible. A boy， however， is procrastinating before his desk， waiting until the last minute to study. Obviously， the picture is aimed at emphasizing the importance of good habits for success at school.

Indeed， habits play a key role in a students academic performance. Some students struggle in school without understanding why. More often than not， this is because they have some bad habits. The most common is procrastination. They always put off their homework till the last minute， preferring to eat snacks， watch TV or play a game before settling down to their homework. Inevitably， they pay a heavy price for putting things off. Good study habits， on the other hand， contribute tremendously to academic success. For instance， always setting aside time to finish homework first is a recipe for academic excellence.

Good habits are not only important for our school performance， but for living a fulfilling life as an adult. So its imperative that we build good habits and get rid of bad ones. （186 words）

语言亮点借鉴：

1. A boy， however， is procrastinating before his desk， waiting until the last minute to study. （然而，一个男孩正在课桌前磨磨蹭蹭，等到最后一刻才学习。）waiting是现在分词短语，作状语，表示伴随动作。

2. Indeed， habits play a key role in a students academic performance. （确实，习惯在学生的学习成绩中起着关键的作用。）indeed确实。副词indeed用在句首时，表示支持或强调刚说过的话。

3. More often than not， this is because they have some bad habits.（这往往是因为他们有一些坏习惯。）more often than not往往，多半，通常。

4. They always put off their homework till the last minute， preferring to eat snacks， watch TV or play a game before settling down to their homework.（他们总是把作业拖到最后一刻，喜欢先吃零食、看电视或者玩一会儿游戏才专心写作业。）settle down to安下心来做，专心致志于。

5. For instance， always setting aside time to finish homework first is a recipe for academic excellence.（例如，总是留出时间先完成作业是学习成绩优异的秘诀。）a recipe for（某事的）秘诀。

6. So its imperative that we build good habits and get rid of bad ones.（所以我們必须培养好习惯、改掉坏习惯。）Its imperative （that）必须做某事，后面的从句多用虚拟语气。
