　　公共英语三级写作范文：

　　The cartoon features a man who looks fat, wealthy and greedy for food. He is insatiably devouring a table of delicious food, while we are surprised to find that the waiter is serving him with even more dishes. We cannot help worrying whether this man’s stomach can bear so heavy a load all of a sudden.

　　As the caption points out, excessive love for food exerts negative influences on health. Whenever in front of dishes of superb taste, we need to keep in mind that a certain amount of food is enough to sustain us. Equally, the same truth applies to a bunch of our other habits. In other words, it is a must to limit any hobby, or else it may lead to disaster. Another typical example would be many folks’ devotion for computer games. Playing computer games now and then is an interesting entertainment, but an addiction to them would surely detach people from their time commitment to normal work and study.

　　As a result, I believe that limitation plays a decisive role in maintaining healthy habits in our everyday life. Moreover, we should learn to control our desires and sometimes greed. Proper limitation always leads to a sound and jovial life.

　　译文：

　　刻画了一个看起来很胖、很富有也很贪吃的男人。他正在毫不知足地吞吃着一桌的美食，而我们惊奇地发现服务员正在上更多的菜。但是，我们不禁担心他的胃是否能够一下子承担如此多的负担。

　　正如标题所提示的那样，贪吃对于人们的健康只会产生负面效应。当我们面对一桌美味佳肴的时候，我们必须要谨记我们只需要一部分食物就足够生活了。同样，这个道理也适用于其他的生活习惯。也就是说，喜爱任何事物都必须要有一个“度”。否则就有可能导致悲剧。另一个典型例子就是很多人沉迷于电子游戏。偶尔玩一下电子游戏是一种非常好的娱乐方式，但是一旦上瘾就会影响人们正常的学习和工作的时间投入。

　　因此，我认为掌握好“度”对于保持我们在日常生活中健康的习惯起着关键性的作用。此外，我们应该学会控制我们的欲望甚至贪婪。合适的“度”才能让我们有一个健康、快乐和完整的生活。
