本题漫画中，一个大圈被分成若干格，每个格里都有一个人在上网。人们通过网络联系起来，形成一张如同蜘蛛网的错综复杂的关系网。再由题目《网络的“近”与“远”》，可以想到漫画含义涉及网络的两个方面，一方面，网络拉近了人们之间的距离，足不出户便可进行交流;但另一方面，由于人们越来越依赖网络，面对面交流的机会越来越少了。
　　围绕这一主题，根据提纲要求，本文结构设计如下：
　　根据提纲中的信息1) describe the drawing briefly 第一段对漫画进行简单描述;
　　根据提纲中的信息2) explain its intended meaning 第二段揭示漫画的含义，从正反两方面论述，一方面，网络为人们提供了便利的条件，使人们的交流更加便捷和迅速;另一方面，人们的现实交流越来越少了，感情似乎也疏远了。
　　根据提纲中的信息3) give your comments 第三段表明作者的看法，即网络使社会成员的联系更加紧密，但在一定程度上也疏远了人们之间的关系。
　　SAMPLE
　　The above picture gives a vivid description of a huge spider web which symbolizes Internet. There’s no doubt that Internet, an entirely new way of communication, is becoming so popular nowadays that it’s difficult to imagine modern life without it. It has revolutionized the way of people’s living and thinking, and has exerted a profound effect on our daily life.
　　Definitely, the symbolic meaning of the picture subtly conveyed should be taken into deep consideration. First of all, with the Internet, it is convenient and fast for people to have access to a variety of information and what they need to do is just to press key buttons. What’s more, the great utility of the Internet allow people within a company, across a nation or even around the world to work together. Finally, we can do almost everything via Internet. Specifically, we can conduct E-business, advertise our products, book an air ticket, buy and sell stocks, even hunt a new job through clicking the mouse. Nevertheless, it is a two-edged sword as well and has its own negative effects. Some people tend to spend hours on Internet for the sake of relaxation and develop addictions. As a result, the public have an emotional distance sometimes and thus few face-to-face communications in reality due to Internet addiction without self-restriction.
From what have been discussed above, it is clear that with a personal computer and modem, any individual can call up information about almost anything from almost anywhere and almost anytime on the web. All in all, Internet, an indispensable part in modern life, has the power to connect people and, yet, to some extent, alienate people in reality.

　　Dear Sir:

　　I read with interest your advertisement in the Communications of the A.C.M for the position of Director of the new Computer-Aided Learning Center being set up by Ray Conwell Co., Inc. RCC has a reputation for producing high-quality products such as the Mandolin Network System. I am interested in joining such a professional organization。

　　As you can see from the enclosed resume, my previous work has included supervision of software product development as well as extensive work in computer-aided learning. Although my educational training concentrated on theoretical computer science, my current interests lie more in applications of computer science principles to produce viable products。

　　My years of studying and teaching in the university setting have given me a good knowledge of pedagogical process. I look forward to the opportunity to apply this in the development of a state-of-the-art CAL system. My previous experience in systems design work makes me confident that I could make a valuable contribution to Ray Conwell Co., Inc。

　　I am looking forward to your reply。

　　Sincerely Yours,
