2014考研英语（一）大作文依然是图画作文，与去年的热点话题"老有所依"有关，难度适中，因为这个话题对于很多同学来说应该不陌生。图画表现了三十年前一个年轻妈妈拉着小女孩儿，现在是长大后的女儿搀扶着她妈妈一起走。图画下方写着"相携"，体现出的含义就是子女与父母相携走过。同学写作此文时，在第一段中描述出图画内容，在第二段中阐释意义，结合实际阐述文中"相携"的意义，同学可以结合主题展开叙述和讨论。第三段给出相应地评论和建议。文都老师在此给大家提供以下范文，供大家参考。

范文：
As we can see from the picture, a young mother was holding a little girl's hand thirty years ago and now the girl is holding her mother's arm. The girl and the mother always walk in step with each other. The author's real purpose is not as simple as the picture itself, but to lead observers to find out what hides behind the iceberg.
When we were little children, we needed to rely on our parents. They give us our lives, give us support and all their love. They always provide us with all the things that they have. When we grow up, our parents become older. Then they need us to take care of them. However, as young people are quite busy with their working, they rarely have time to visit their parents, talk with them and accompany them, which leads many parents to become empty nesters. They live lonely and they long for a chat with their children to share happiness and sorrow in the life. In order to reduce the loneliness of our parents, we should go to visit our parents frequently and take care of them. Even if we are quite busy for a certain period, we should call our parents on a daily basis to get to know their feelings and physical conditions.
In conclusion, we need to accompany our parents in their lives, just as what they did when we were young. We should spare time to visit our parents and suffice their wishes. In this case, the world will be full of love.
