审题谋篇
本题是提纲图画式作文。因此，图画、文字和提供的提纲都是不可忽视的审题要素。从题目要求看，需要写一篇160词~200词的短文。图画中，一个人的面前铺开了一张纸，上面有一支笔，两只手却变成了鼠标，面对着纸和笔的他面红耳赤地不知道怎么写了。
图画的含义很明显：由于过多地使用键盘打字，我们都不知道该怎么写字了。
根据题目给出的提纲，第一段需要对图画内容进行简要描述；第二段揭示图画内涵：对电脑的过度依赖导致了我们提笔忘字，并对这种现象进行具体分析；第三段给出解决之道并总结全文。

Modern Technology and Tradition
现代科技与传统
In the picture, a man is supposed to write something on the paper with a pen. But because he has got used to typing with fingers, he is so embarrassed that he does not know how to write with traditional writing tools.
图中，一个人想用笔在纸上写点什么。但是，由于他已经习惯了使用手指打字，而不知道如何用传统工具写字，他因此感到非常尴尬。
The picture mainly tells us that it is the overdependence on computer that leads to the forgetting of words. In fact, this phenomenon is not uncommon among young people. Nowadays, it is really not difficult for young people to design a delicate resume or edit a document with a computer. However, when they are asked to write something with a pen, they may either write poorly or even forget how to write. Moreover, many young people consider that handwriting is no longer practical. They believe that with the help of a computer, it does not matter whether your handwriting is good or not. Actually, people today rarely pick up a pen to write anything.
这幅图画告诉我们，对电脑的过度依赖导致了我们提笔忘字。事实上，这种现象在年轻人中很普遍。现在，让他们用电脑设计一份精美的简历或是编辑一个文档并不是什么难事。但是，如果让他们用笔写的话，不是字写得难看就是提笔忘字。而且，很多年轻人认为书写已不再实用。他们认为，有了计算机，字写得好坏就没那么重要了。实际上，现在人们很少拿起笔来写东西。
To solve this problem, we should open handwriting courses of all levels at school firstly, for handwriting is a required skill for every student. Secondly, the significance of handwriting cannot be overemphasized. Handwriting is the essence of the culture. The culture of a nation can be passed down completely only by its handwriting.
要解决这个问题，我们首先要在学校的各年级开设书写课，因为书写是每个学生必备的技能；其次，书写的意义再强调也不为过。书写是文化的精髓。一个国家的文化只有通过书写才能完整地传承下去。
拓展语料库
1. As is clearly demonstrated in the picture, the development of technology is a double-edged sword. 正如图画中清晰展示的，科技的发展是一把双刃剑。
2. Therefore, to live a healthy life, people should make full use of the benefits brought by the technological advances and preserve the essence of the previous lifestyles. 因此，为了健康的生活，人们应该充分利用科技进步带来的好处，保持原有生活的精华。
