【答案】

Haste Makes Waste

As we all know, there is an old saying, “Haste Makes Waste”. As is vividly shown in the picture, the couple get astonished when seeing their crops withering/ dead. The husband can’t help losing his temper, scolding his wife for her improper way of farming, while the wife argues that she simply wants the crops to grow faster by fertilizing more. She never thought too many fertilizers would cause the crops to die.

The picture clearly conveys a message that if people are eager to finish a task in a hurry, the outcome may be less satisfactory and even goes to the opposite. As is often the case, we can’t take every detail into consideration before a quick decision is made. Under such circumstances we attach too much importance to quick speed at the expense of high quality, which eventually contributes to greater losses. Additionally, more unexpected accidents may take place when we are in a hurry.

Remembering English words is a good case in point. If you set a goal of reciting 50 words within a short time, the result may let you down, for you forget them easily. However, if you slow down a little bit, for example, divide the words into several parts, one part at a time and go over them frequently, they can be kept longer and more easily in mind. Comparing the two methods, we find the latter is more efficient.

In conclusion, haste makes waste. If we can apply it to our daily life, we are bound to make progress.

【解析】

试题分析：江苏这几年高考都是任务型读写，本文属于看图作文，考生首先要读懂原图：拔苗助长，欲速则不达。在写作时，首先要描述图的内容，第二段叙述该图表达的含义，谈谈自己的理解和想法：也就是按照事物发展的顺序正常发展，不能拔苗助长。最后以身边或者听说的事例证明这种做法是错误的。
