A possible version

As is vividly shown in the picture, old parents are sitting at table, disappointed.

Although they receive a lot of presents from their children, no one comes back to celebrate with them. They feel very miserable and have no appetite, since what they want most is not such material stuffs but the care and love from their children and grandchildren.

Nowadays, young men look so busy and independent in modern society that they will never feel free to live with their parents. They move out and mind their own business every day. On usual days, they would not like to take their time to visit their parents with the excuses of busyness. On some festival days, they probably share a little time to drop in on their parents or even just send some presents but don’t show up personally like what the cartoon above illustrates. They think that presents can represent their love, however, to the parents, who overcame a lot of difficulties to bring them up, those stuffs are far from what they really hope for.

Therefore, however busy we may be, we should spend more time accompanying our parents. Considering their selfless love, we should return them the same from the bottom of our heart.

【解析】

试题分析：本篇书面表达属于看图写作，以关爱父母为话题。写作时注意以下几点：（1）认真读图,弄清大意：读图时要充分理解图画所表达的内容，弄清图中的人物在干什么。(2) 理出要点，拟定提纲：读图之后，要根据图画表达的主要内容，理出表达的要点。列出要点时要注意分清主次。(3) 紧扣要点，扩写成文：在列出要点后，依据已经写出来的话语扩写成一篇短文。扩写时，可运用想象适度发挥，紧扣图画的内容，进行适当叙述，连贯通顺即可。 （4）根据要表达的内容确定句子的时态、语态；就本文而言应该用一般现在时态。 (5)注意使用高级词汇和句式，以增加文章的亮点。

【亮点说明】本文语义连贯、行文流畅，且立意较深，并且句式结构多样化。如：As is vividly shown in the picture, old parents are sitting at table, disappointed.“disappointed”在句中独立使用作状语。“Although they receive a lot of presents from their children”中“although”引导让步分句。以及“who overcame a lot of difficulties to bring them up”是“who”引导的非限制性定语从句。此外，文章还使用了大量短语，如：not…but, with the excuse of, drop in on sb., etc.,大大增强了文章的可读性。
