"Why am I going to school if my phone already knows everything?"
【解析】
审题非常重要，比如这道题：很多同学可能只注意到了图画和图中旁的文字信息，因而将本文主旨错误理解为“手机对学生的影响”。
但其实不然。通过审题可以发现，如果只写“手机对学生的影响”则有跑题的嫌疑；因为本文体裁要求为“essay”，话题为“kids’ understanding of going to school”，即“孩子对上学的理解”。
所以，本文当然可以写“手机”，但如果未涉及“孩子对上学的理解”则有跑题的嫌疑。
参考范文（简版）
This is a simple, funny but enlightening cartoon, in which a mother is sending her son to go to school. However, to her surprise, the child responds, “Why am I going to school if my phone knows everything?”
Evidently, this picture can be naturally associated with kids’ incorrect understanding of going to school. To be specific, today, it has become a trend for a host of students to gain diverse information through cell phones or computers. Why? The reason is that a growing number of teenagers find it convenient and efficient to learn with the help of phones. Consequently, many childish students think that it is not necessary for them to go to school.
However, I deem that it is advisable for teenagers to attend school, if they intend to enhance their comprehensive quality. Attending school brings us opportunities to make friends, arouses our passion for study and helps us improve other talents. To conclude, we should bear in mind that education does not merely mean “knowing everything”.
【参考译文】
这是一幅简单、好玩但有启发性的漫画。漫画中，一位妈妈正要送自己的儿子上学。然而，令她意外的是，孩子回应道：“如果我的手机能知道一切，我为啥还要上学？”
显然，这个图片能自然联系到孩子们对于上学错误的理解。确切来讲，今天的很多学生通过手机或电脑来获取各种信息已经成为一种普遍趋势。为什么哪？原因就在于越来越多年轻人发现手机辅助下的学习很方便高效。结果，很多幼稚的学生就以为没必要上学了。
然而，我认为如果年轻人想要提升自己的综合素质的话，还是应该明智地选择去上学。上学带给我们结识朋友的机会，唤起我们队学习的热爱，帮助我们提升其他才能。总之，我们应该记住：教育并不仅仅意味着“什么都知道”。
