2013年考研英语一大作文仍然为图画作文，图片话题为人生选择，属于人生哲理类，沿用了去年研究生考试的出题方向，考生考前应该都准备过此类话题的相关素材，在万学海文的课堂上老师也曾当作重点来复习，对于考生来说此题难度不大。

　　图片显示一群大学毕业生面临多种选择：考研，留学，找工作，创业。在课堂上我们强调：描述图画可以采用总分总的写作模式，先进行整体描图，即对图片主体（毕业生）的描写；第二句则描述细节信息：摆在他们面前的众多选择；根据字数的多少，最后一句可加入对图画简单的评论，如：可用感叹句表达选择是多么困难。参考范文如下：

　　Emerging from the cartoon is an eye-catching scene that a mass of graduates are at a critical turning point on the way to the future. A variety of choices, such as finding a job, going further education or abroad, and doing pioneering work, lie in front of them.

　　文章的中心比较具有开放性，可以写当前年轻人在面临选择时手足无措，犹豫迟疑，从而体现出现今教育的弱点，应加强年轻人自信心或者勇气的培养；可以分析选择和成功的关系，指出选择的重要性，每一种选择将带来不同的命运；可以分析选择固然重要，但是对于年轻人而言，更应该坚持不懈地提高自身的能力，朝着自己的选择努力，就一定会离成功越来越近。因此考生在写作时只要跟图片主题“选择”相关的内容都可以作为分析的方向，关键是要把自己的观点阐释清楚。参考范文如下：

　　The implication echoed by this cartoon can be summarized as a philosophic topic in our daily life: success of a man is directly related to the choice made by himself. Nevertheless, I cherish a belief that we can not tell whether the selection is good or not, and as long as we adhere to our decision success will be realized step by step. Although making choice is essential to help determine the direction of our way, judged from the personal aspect, persistence functions as an indispensable driving force to keep up our spirit and to assist us to fulfill our study and work. However, some people, pacing up and down, are not industrious and try to find a short-cut success. In fact, only those who are hard-working and brave enough to encounter obstacles of all sorts are most likely to reach the summit of success.

　　文章结尾再一次强调主题，做到首尾呼应，亦可具体问题具体分析，提出相关建议或评论。参考范文如下：

　　It occurs to many that the most fundamental thing to success is making a good choice. But I recommend that graduates as well as all the citizens should struggle to make their choice be a reality.

　　考生在写作过程中，还应注意语言的丰富性，语法的正确性，词汇的多样性等方面，有了前期素材的积累，相信大家都能写出一篇好的文章。
