首段：图画描述 This drawing, apparently, can be linked to the critical significance of doing small things. In the picture, the youngster expresses his worries about “disposing of nuclear waste”. To his surprise, his father points at the dustbin, telling him that if he can empty the dustbin there, he can do anything.

二段：图画主题+现象+意义 The father means that if young people dream to achieve success, it is sensible for them to start with little jobs. Admittedly, in the present-day society, it is a common phenomenon for many teenagers to neglect tiny things in life, such as cleaning rooms, washing clothes and emptying dustbins. Why? The reason is that a growing number of young people find it rather useless to deal with these things. A typical example is the boy in the picture. Nonetheless, it is these small tasks that ensure youngsters to master sufficient knowledge, competence and experience. Actually, wise people in large numbers have come to recognize the significance of these small things. Doing small things brings us skills, arouses our passion for success and helps us to make progress.

尾段：观点+建议+展望 As a college student, I am convinced that it is exceedingly necessary for young people to strengthen our comprehensive quality by doing small things. Accordingly, we should educate and encourage our friends and acquaintances to foster this positive awareness and habit. We, sparing no efforts to do so, may witness a hopeful and promising future of our work and study. Everyone should bear in mind that a big success originates from everyday small progress. （282词）

▼参考译文

显然，这幅图能自然联系到做好小事的重要性。图画中，一个年轻人表达了自己对“核废料处理”的担忧。使他感到吃惊的是，他爸爸指着垃圾筐告诉他，如果能把垃圾筐清空，他就能做好一切。

父亲的意思是，如果年轻人想要成功，就应该明智地从小的工作开始做起。确实，在当今社会，很多年轻人忽略身边的各种小事已经成为一种常见现象，例如打扫房间、洗衣服和清理垃圾筐。为什么？因为越来越多的年轻人觉得应对这些小事没有用。一个典型例子就是图画中的小孩。然而，正是这些小事确保年轻人能掌握足够的知识、能力和经验。事实上，很多聪明人已经意识到这些小事的重要性。做好这些小事带给我们技能，唤起我们对成功的热情，帮助我们进步。

作为一名大学生，我坚信年轻人很有必要通过做好小事提升自己的整体素质。因此，我们应该教育和鼓励我们的朋友和熟人培养这种积极的意识和习惯。如果我们不遗余力这样这样来做，未来我们的工作和生活将充满光明和希望。每个人都应该牢记大的成功源自于每天小的进步。
