范文：

We can see from the illustration there is a father talking to his son. Having heard his son’s words “Dad, I am a bit worried about disposing of nuclear weapons”, the father replies, “If you can empty the dustbin here, you can do anything”, pointing the garbage can beside him.

Funny and common as the conversation sounds, it reflects that the father intends to advise his son to do small things before undertaking the big. Unquestionably, doing small things is the first step of success and will lay root for doing something big. By doing something small, we are enabled to accumulate experience, master skills and train ourselves to be more patient. In other words, we can be well prepared for further challenges in the course of fulfilling small things. By contrast, those who set out to do something big will be constantly haunted by disappointment, frustrations or even failures. As when opportunity “something big” appears, they can hardly seize them because of the lack of experience and confidence stems from doing small things. Taking the picture presented above as a case in point, how can the little boy succeed in disposing of nuclear weapons if he even doesn’t know how to empty the dustbin?

From my perspective, under no circumstances should we undervalue the power of doing small things. Instead, we should regard small things as the source of experience, skills and the prerequisite of success. “Great achievement only belongs to those who can do small things perfectly.” Aristotle once said.

下午的六级考试，出题形式上来说，图画、图表以及引语类都是有可能的。比例是三分天下，各占三成。

如果是图画作文，一，不要忘记描绘图画的内容；二，提炼出图画里面的主旨，要么积极的向上的好事，需要我们领悟和执行；要么是消极的负面的坏事，需要我们理性分析看待，后给出一些看法建议。不难，别怕。主题，如果是正面文章，可以关注下 taking actions （采取行动的意义）the consciousness of innovation ( 创新意识) 等等；

如果是图表作文，一、段描绘图表内容，不难；二，提炼主旨和论述，这个和图画作文一样。三，提出个人观点，预测图表趋势，友善建议提醒都可以。可以关注一下市场经济发展（各个行业发展趋势）、文化教育类（出国留学 (微博) 、学生就业择业）以及社会负面问题 （the aging of population人口老龄化）、环境资源以及交通事故等话题。

如果是引语作文，关键是要看出引语内含的主旨，并进行论述就可以。去年的六级出了On maintaining trust维持信任和 man and

computer 人与电脑两个话题，一个是抽象的，一个是现实具体的。那么今天下午的考试，如果是引语作文，应该也会一个是抽象话题，一个是具体现实话题。抽象话题，诸如“自信、沟通、合作、乐观、耐心、行动、梦想、创新”等，只要论述其意义就可以；如果是现实问题，比如“大学生就业难、酒后驾驶、假冒伪劣产品、手机热、环境保护”等，只要分析这些现象背后的原因和根源就可以了。
