This cartoon is silly, and yet compelling: a large customer holds a hopelessly small piece of cloth as the tailor carefully measures. Such an image suggests that one needs to consider practical reality in the pursuance of goals. Merely acting on one's desires, while ignoring the facts at hand, cannot lead to success.
The fact that currently there are more graduates than jobs reminds us of the importance of rational thinking. Every year approximately 3 million students graduate from universities and begin looking for work. Many of them fail to find suitable employment because there are simply not enough opportunities to accommodate such great numbers of graduates. In addition, however, one might also cite flawed individual assessment as a reason.
In order to create a realistic target for one's future, one must make rational decisions and prepare accordingly. A student who aims to be a surgeon, for example, must take care to acquire opportunities to do clinical practice and gain sufficient knowledge. In other words, customers would do well to take accurate measurements before purchasing their fabric. A small piece of cloth cannot adequately clothe a large person.

一般回答三个字，要掌握几种常见的说明方法，会分析在文中的作用：①．举例子：具体真切地说明了事物的××特点。
②．分类别：条理清楚地说明了事物的××特点。对事物的特征/事理分门别类加以说明，使说明更有条理性。使说明的内容眉目清楚，避免重复交叉的现象。
③．列数字：具体而准确地说明该事物的××特点。使说明更有说服力。
④．作比较：突出强调了被说明对象的××特点（地位、影响等）。
⑤．下定义：用简明科学的语言对说明的对象/科学事理加以揭示，从而更科学、更本质、更概括地揭示事物的特征/事理。
⑥．打比方：打比方就是修辞方法中的比喻。生动形象地说明该事物的××特点，增强了文章的趣味性。
⑦．画图表：使读者一目了然，非常直观形象地说明的事物的××特点。
⑧．作诠释：对事物的特征/事理加以具体的解释说明，使说明更通俗易懂。
下定义与作诠释的区别是：定义要求完整，而诠释并不要求完整，对事物的特征/事理加以具体的解释说明，使说明更通俗易懂。可以颠倒。
⑨．摹状貌：对事物的特征/事理加以形象化的描摹，使说明更具体生动形象。
⑩．引资料：能使说明的内容更具体、更充实。用引用的方法说明事物的特征，增强说服力，如引用古诗文、谚语、俗话。引用说明在文章开头，还起到引出说明对象的'作用。

对此，我们可以从两方面入手：第一，写作时要投入感情，在让读者感动之前你自己要先感动起来。第二，要选取能触动心灵的人和事来写。如《记梁任公先生的一次演讲》一文中，令作者动情的材料太多了：梁任公先生可以为“桃花扇”的悲情痛哭流涕，也可以为杜子美的《闻官军收河南河北》而张口大笑，“真是手之舞之足之蹈之，有时掩面，有时顿足，有时狂笑，有时太息”;他出口成章，名词佳句倒背如流，即使偶有阻塞，敲击脑瓜儿延续，其情态可掬，令人莞尔;任公先生的口音，也成为梁实秋欣赏的亮点，如此爱屋及乌的描述，可见作者对任公先生的爱戴之情深。
