范文：
Along with the economic development and rural reform, the Chinese society has come to pay increasing attention to the rich villages that are entitled as the models. However, just as the cartoon shows, in order to build a typical village, villagers are forced to bear heavy burdens in investing in magnificent building, instead of obtaining benefits for themselves.
Many reasons are responsible for such a trend. First of all, both the government and the villagers fail to consider the actual situations of the villages. They desire to show how beautiful and successful their villages look, thus wasting money on the unnecessary trifles. Besides, many rural leaders are obsessed with the competition with other villages, and they blindly reserve budgets for image constructions. Nevertheless, a model village should not be defined by superficial prosperity, but rather by providing comfortable living conditions for all country residents, as well as the confidence for a bright future.
As far as I am concerned, it is high time to take measures to address this phenomenon. For one thing, all the farmers should put more effort and energy to improve the farming instead of constructing buildings. For another, rural governments should learn how to allot the limited resources in a reasonable way, emphasizing more on education, technology and culture.
译文：
随着经济的发展和农村的改革，中国社会越来越关注那些被冠以典型称号的富裕村庄。但是，正如图中所示，为了建设一个典型村，村民们被迫承担投资建设宏伟建筑和炫耀性设施的负担，而不是给自己带来真正的好处。
这种趋势的发展有许多原因。首先，政府和村民都没有考虑农村的实际情况。他们期望展示他们村庄的美丽和成功，因此把钱花在一些不必要的琐事上。此外，许多农村领导一心要与其他村庄竞争，他们盲目地为建设形象工程预留大笔的预算资金。但是，典型村不应该通过表面上的繁荣来表现，而是应该通过为乡村居民提供更舒适的生活条件、使他们对未来充满信心来实现。
我认为现在必须采取措施来解决这一问题。一方面，所有的村民应该把自己的更多精力放在改进农业生产上，而不是建设高楼大厦。另一方面，农村政府应该学会如何以合理的方式分配有限的资源，把重点放在教育、科技和文化的发展上。
