　　As is vividly betrayed in the drawing above, a person shakes off poverty by way of rational laws and regulations. The drawing gives us much food for thought and means a lot.

　　The implied meaning of the drawing can be illustrated as follows. To begin with, poverty in our life can be totally changed. When we encounter poverty, we must establish our confidence to shake off poverty. In other words, we must look ahead and try our best like the person in the drawing. Having enough courage to face challenge is the subjective condition of shaking off poverty. What’s more, rational laws and regulations set up by our government is the precondition of shaking off poverty. Since we are living in a society ruled by laws, nothing can be guaranteed without the rational laws and regulations established by our government. In one word, one’s confidence and relevant rational laws and regulations are the right ways to affluence.

　　My suggestions concerning poverty shaking-off can be illustrated as follows. In the first place, our government should set up more rational laws and regulations, especial preferential policies, for those still living in poverty. Besides, the people living in poverty should not lose hope and should instead take immediate action to take advantage of the rational laws and regulations in order to shake off poverty. (221 words)
