命题解析
本题要求首先简要描述图画，然后评论这种现代生活。图画显示：现代人无论工作、居家、娱乐还是睡眠，都与电脑密不可分。显而易见，本题主旨为电脑或网络对现代生活的影响。
国内写作考试中已经反复考察电脑或网络这一热点话题。2002年6月四级写作考察“大学生使用电脑情况”，2009年考研写作考察“网络的‘近’与‘远’”，2012年6月六级写作考察“网络对人际共同的影响”，2013年12月四级写作考察“网络对人们沟通方式的影响”。2015年6月，四级写作再次考察电脑或网络这一话题。如果考生研究过之前的写作真题，诸多表达均可使用。
写作思路：
1、本题首段应简要描述图画，指出人们无论工作、家庭、休闲或休息，都与电脑关系密切。
2、次段最好进行正反论证，说明电脑有利有弊：一方面可以满足工作生活的需要并娱乐自我，另一方面过度沉迷也会浪费大量的时间和精力。
3、第三段最好提出建议措施：我们应该扬长避短，在合理使用电脑的同时，避免过度沉迷。
新东方在线王江涛参考范文：
As is symbolically illustrate in the cartoon, a person is always staying in front of a computer no matter whether he or she is working, studying or playing. Even when he is sleeping, the image of surfing on line is also indispensable in his sweet dreams.
The metaphorical and impressive portrayal has subtly revealed the duality of the relationship between man and computer. On the one hand, there is no denying that the computer is currently one of the most efficient tools either to entertain oneself or to meet the work's needs. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to computers to maintain face-to-face contact with their friends and colleagues. Once indulged in the fictitious world, people feel reluctant to approach others and to concentrate on real life.
Hence, it is necessary for us to use computers in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. After all, the computer is invented to connect you and me, and to bring conveniences to our life rather than set a barrier to keep people beyond reach.
如图所示，一个人无论工作、在家或娱乐，总是坐在一台电脑前面。甚至当他睡觉的时候，在他甜美的梦中，网上冲浪的画面也是必不可少的。
这幅比喻并使人印象深刻的图画象征性揭示了人与电脑之间的双重关系。一方面，不可否认电脑目前是用于娱乐自我和满足工作需要的最高效媒介之一。但另一方面，很多人承认他们太沉迷于电脑而不愿与朋友和同事保持面对面接触。一旦沉迷于这种虚幻世界，人们不愿接近他人并关注现实生活。
因此，我们很有必要以一种合理的方式使用电脑，避免过度沉迷。毕竟，人们发明电脑是为了连接你和我，为我们的生活带来方便，而非设置障碍使人彼此疏远。
