以 情節發展 為主 (plot-oriented) ，著重過程精采、曲 / 轉折，結局通常可留給讀者想像空間 (inference) 或略含啟示 (lesson/moral) 。
例： (93-94 年 ) 大學學測之看圖作文。
|
以 解讀隱藏含意 為主 (implication-oriented), 如哲理 (philosophy), 象徵 (symbol), 或啟示 (lesson/moral) 等。
例：【春、夏、秋、冬】為主題之連環圖。

發展技巧： Narration (敘述文) vs Description (描述文)
|
|
|
|
(1) 敘述文：採「第一人稱」觀點, 作者本身融入其中一角色。
(2) 描述文：採「第三人稱」觀點, 作者為圖中主角命名，以第三者角度描述、解讀圖片內容。

有創意、精彩的故事內容—在於創造神奇的「曲折、轉變」或「巧合」！但，聯考的(看圖)作文又不宜抽象、深奧，或懸疑費心思如偵探小說，需力求「一目了然」。

解析舉例 (93年學測英文作文題目)
|
|
|
|
請根據以下三張連環圖畫的內容，以“One evening,…”開頭，寫一篇文章，描述圖中主角所經歷的事件，並提供合理的解釋與結局。
|
|
|
1) 看圖寫作/說故事需以圖為基礎，依據圖表示的「關鍵主情節」，構思一完整、合理的發展與結局，過程細節需依圖運用想像力。
2) 解讀設計原意：圖內與情節發展有關的細節需留意，如「TAXI」、「警察局」、「驚嘆+問號」等。大都是「提示」關鍵的曲折、轉變。
3) 適當設計人物關係與事件相關性的「巧合」。
|

One
evening, Jimmy attended a neighbor’s wedding banquet in a fancy
restaurant. All the quests there were immersed in a blessing and merry
atmosphere. Jimmy was high-spirited, too. And much to his surprise, he
came across an intimate old junior high classmate. They happily caught
up on each other’s news, and they gulped down one glass after another.
Gradually, Jimmy began to feel dizzy. (背景--場合、人物，故事前因)
After the end of the banquet, Jimmy said
goodbye to his classmate and went home. Under the influence of alcohol,
Jimmy staggered along the street and tried hard to hail each taxi
whizzing by. Finally, one car stopped for him. But it was a police car.
Jimmy was so drunk that he couldn’t tell a taxi from a police car. And
because of this, the police decided to take him back to the police
station.(情節發展)
A while later, Jimmy was woken up by
ringing phones, only to find that he was in the police station. An
police officer yelled at him with rage, “How could a teenager like you
get drunk like that?” Hearing this, Jimmy was still confused what had
happened, and wondered whether he had mistaken a police car for a
taxi.”(結局/後果)

One
evening, I got slicked up and attended a wedding banquet. The fancy
restaurant filled up with bustling people and lively laughter. Before
long, the bridegroom, my cousin, began a series of toasts to show his
gratitude. I gave him my congratulations when he drew near. I drank one
glass after another as we were chatting. Gradually, I began to feel
dizzy. (背景--時、空/場合、人物，故事前因)
After the end of the banguet, I said
goodbye to my cousin and went home. Under the influence of alcohol, I
staggered along the street and tried hard to hail each taxi whizzing
by. One finally stopped for me, but the driver didn’t unlock the door
right away. I couldn’t wait so I kicked the car in anger, and cursed
the driver: “Open the door, you Lame Brain.” As a result, the driver
let me in. I got into the car and fell asleep in seconds. (情節發展)
A while later, I was woken up by ringing
phones, only to find I was in the police station. Worst of all, a
familiar voice was yelling at me. It was my father, who worked there.
He recounted that their police car pulled over when they saw me waving
at them, but soon I struck their car. They found I was drunk so they
brought me back to the police station. My father was in a fury and I
was still confused: “Did I mistake a police car for a taxi? And was the
driver my dad?”(結局/後果，含合理的解釋)
