，套话已经不少了。所以考生不要担心自己的字数不够。以前面分析过的范文（其中明显的语法与用词错误已改正）为例，看看哪些话是可以套用的。

More and more young people are increasingly influenced by foreign culture. As can be clearly seen from the above picture, a young gentleman has put “Beckham” on his face. Another decently dressed young gentleman is willing to pay 300 yuan to have his hair made in his favorite style. It is clear that the picture implies a common phenomenon in our society today: a growing number of people, especially the young, are endlessly chasing popular things, disregarding the cost that they must pay.

There are at least two good reasons for this phenomenon. In the first place, the spreading of foreign culture in our country in recent years may be the main reason. On account of this, many young people in our modern society have an open mind. Consequently, they are willing to accept new things. Secondly, a lot of people have become richer and richer. As a result, they can pay to do those kinds of things. There may be other reasons for it, but it is generally believed that the above mentioned reasons are commonly accepted.

As far as I am concerned, the spreading of foreign culture in our society is not a bad thing. But as a popular saying goes, everything has two sides. This phenomenon is no exception. My suggestion as to the best way to cope with the problem is as follows. On the one hand, people should take a proper attitude toward this phenomenon. On the other hand, our society is expected to appeal to the general public to resist its bad effect. I am sure that my opinion is both sound and well-grounded.

范文中的粗体部分稍做变更，是可以套用于任何图画作文的。光是这些句子就接近70词。考试时如果写160词，就只需自己写90词了。如果对自己的写作很没有把握，上文可以套用的句子更多。例如，第二段末的 “There may be other reasons for it, but it is generally believed that the above mentioned reasons are commonly accepted.”。

与套话有关的是对功能段落的背诵和模仿。所谓功能段落，简而言之，就是用于完成一个要点的表述的段落。以图画作文而言，通常包括三个要点，那么它就包含三个功能段落：图画描述段、意义阐释段与建议措施段。请大家从上面的范文中体会这三种功能段落。如果想进一步了解和模仿图画作文的功能段落，可以参考胡敏老师编著的《2008年考研英语高分作文》。

因此，套话可以用，但不能通篇都是套话。它们主要用于提示文章的结构，图画的具体内容与含义应该用自己的话进行简练准确的叙述，这里的叙述也是最能显示你的写作水平的地方，不妨独运匠心。

今天的结束语是：Let us explore the patterns in life（让我们探索生活中的模式吧）。
