范文1：
These two cartoons show two contrasting scenes. While the male student spends all his time and money playing Internet games, the female student studies diligently. One could easily argue that a bright future awaits the students who study hard, while those who waste tuition playing games have little to look forward to. The above images encourage students to value their time in school and take advantage of educational opportunities.
While students dream of being accepted into college for years, they often become lost once admitted. Without their parents' constant support and advice, or because of limited communication with teachers, many students are unable to focus on their future goals. Such confusion leads some to forget their studies and resort to playing on the Internet, among other forms of recreation.
Students should not only keep their ambitions in mind, but also seriously strive towards them. Without a clear purpose, one might easily waste crucial years neglecting one's studies.
Constantly playing on the Internet leads to failure, while continuously studying guarantees success. Students need to appreciate their time in school, and work hard in order to ensure a good future.
译文：
这两幅漫画描述了两个形成鲜明对照的场景，第一幅画中的男生在网络游戏中虚掷了所有的时间和金钱，而第二幅画中的女生却在勤勉地学习。可以很容易得出结论：对于刻苦学习的学生，一个美好的未来在等候着他们；而浪费学费玩游戏的学生没有什么指望了。上面这两幅画激励学生们珍惜在校的时光和受教育的机会。
经过多年的梦寐以求终于跨进大学门槛的学生，却往往迷失了自己。因为没有了父母常在身边的支持和建议，或是缺乏与老师的沟通，很多学生找不到自己未来的奋斗目标。而这种困惑就使得一些学生扔掉书本，靠各种消遣——包括玩网络游戏——来打发时光。大学生不应只空谈理想，应该认真地为之奋斗，而没有明确的目标则会让一个人在度过他至关紧要的几年后头脑空空。
沉湎于网络游戏只会导致失败，而坚持不懈的学习则能收获成功。大学生们一定要珍惜在校时光，为了美好的未来而努力。
范文2：
As can be seen from the cartoons, different students may have different wayson how to spend their college days: a boy student indulges himself in computer games, wasting money and time; while a girl student buries herself in a large pile of books, striving to get prepared for the future.
After the fierce competition in the entrance examination, some students may have the illusion that they are secure at last in college. Therefore they do not concentrate on their studies and waste money and time. Needless to say, we all have the right to choose our own way of life. However, college students should define and realize their goals. Time in college is one of the most important periods in our life when we can further prepare ourselves academically for a successful future; therefore we should make the most of it when we have this opportunity. Setting goals is an active way of living. Generally speaking, people are better motivated when they want to attain the goal they set for themselves and have a sense of fulfillment when they succeed. This is true for college students as well.
Success requires both setting goals and working hard. Setting goals for ourtime in college will ensure our chances of success at a time when we should challenge and exert ourselves.
译文：
从这两幅漫画中我们可以看到,不同的学生在如何度过他们大学时光方面可能有着不同的看法： 一个男学生整天沉溺于电脑游戏，浪费了大量的时间和金钱;而一个女学生却整天埋头书海，如饥似渴地读书为自己的未来而奋斗。
在激烈的高考竞争过后， 一些学生幻想他们走进大学就可以一劳永逸，因此他们不惜浪费时间和金钱一味地寻求快乐，而不去集中精力读书。不可否认，每个人都有选择自己生活道路的权利。但是大学生应当树立目标并为之奋斗。大学阶段是我们人生中最为重要的时光，在此期间我们能够为未来的学术成就做好充分的准备，因此一旦有这样的机会，我们就应该更充分地利用这段时光。树立目标是对生活的一种积极态度。一般说来，当人们想去达到自己目的时他们就会更有动力，并且当他们取得成功时就会更加有成就感。这对大学生来说也不失为一条真理。
成功需要树立目标并为之努力奋斗。为我们的大学生活树立目标将会为我们的成功创造良好机会，同时也使我们能够挑战自我，奋力拼搏。
