范文6. 论“浪费现象”
　　Waste
　　Type B. 
　　In your essay, you should first describe the drawing (描述点题段) then interpret its meaning(阐述寓意段), and give your comment on it. (前瞻感言段)
　　Mankind is wasting things everywhere and every day. (推1)As we can see from the pictures, wherever we turn, we can see that paper, bottles and cans are thrown away; food is wasted just because of its poor taste; clothes are discarded simply due to their old fashion. (推2)Not only consumer goods and money are wasted, but natural resources are abused as well. (推2-1)Trees are cut down merely for fuel; (推2-2) wildlife is killed simply for food, and (推2-3)oil, coal and minerals are exploited in a bad way.
　　Wasting time is even worse. Many people tend to spend their time on worthless things, such as (推1) wandering about in the street, (推2) gossiping in the office, or (推3)sleeping too much during the day. As we know, time is so precious to us that it passes by and (推)never returns. (推)The waste of time equals to the waste of life.
　　It is time to stop wasting. On the one hand, we must save natural resources and(推) make full use of them; otherwise human beings will be faced with the scarcity¹ of natural resources and (推)suffer from the pollution caused by wastes. On the other hand, we must treasure our time. (推)Only with our time devoted² to some worthy³ cause will we not regret the life we have had.
