    范文：

    The picture depicts a man who is happily singing and walking home with his cute dog. He is coming back from work carrying his briefcase， and he must have stopped by the market on his way， buying vegetables and fish. As is suggested by the picture， he is exercising by waving the briefcase and basket together.

    The picture is thought-provoking in that it endeavors to convince its audience that we can actually exercise anywhere， as long as we have the awareness of preserving health by exercise. Nowadays a large number of people engage in brainwork， and lack adequate physical movement. Moreover， many of them hold this deep-rooted view that in order to exercise they must squeeze time from their full schedule to go to a gym. Therefore they tend not to exercise simply due to their scanty time. However， the fact is that it is quite easy for everybody to exercise while walking on streets， traveling on buses， and even lying on bed—say， doing yoga.

    I reckon that the consciousness of maintaining health is significant for both individuals and the whole society. On the individual level， it is vividly evidenced by the man in the picture that his exercise improves his health and mood as well. On the social level， the improvement in quality of life contributes vastly to a harmonious society.

    譯文：

    這幅圖描繪了一個(gè)男人高興地一邊唱著歌一邊和他那可愛的小狗一起走回家。很顯然他領(lǐng)著公文包下班回來(lái)，而且順路去市場(chǎng)買了一些蔬菜和魚。圖中畫出了他揮動(dòng)著分別拎著公文包和菜籃的雙手在做運(yùn)動(dòng)。

    這幅圖非常發(fā)人深思，它使人們相信我們其實(shí)可以在任何地方運(yùn)動(dòng)，只要我們有通過運(yùn)動(dòng)來(lái)保持健康的意識(shí)。當(dāng)今時(shí)代有很多人都從事腦力勞動(dòng)，因而缺乏足夠的身體運(yùn)動(dòng)。此外，很多人都有一種非常根深蒂固的想法，即為了鍛煉身體我們必須要從滿滿當(dāng)當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)間表中抽出一點(diǎn)時(shí)間去健身房鍛煉。因此他們都會(huì)因?yàn)闀r(shí)間不夠而逃避鍛煉。但是，實(shí)際上每個(gè)人都可以非常容易地通過在街上走路、坐公交車、甚至是在床上進(jìn)行鍛煉，比如說做瑜伽。

    我認(rèn)為保持健康的意識(shí)對(duì)于個(gè)人和整個(gè)社會(huì)都十分重要。對(duì)于個(gè)人來(lái)說，這幅圖上的男人生動(dòng)地證明了通過鍛煉身體，既能促進(jìn)健康又能改善心情。對(duì)于社會(huì)來(lái)說，人口生活質(zhì)量的改進(jìn)會(huì)對(duì)和諧社會(huì)做出巨大的貢獻(xiàn)。
