范文:
It can be noticed that a large number of private schools or training organizations become a new landscape in education.When you read newspapers, when you watch TV, when you walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools.There are private schools mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music and sports.However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools.On the one hand, private schools can meet the special needs of the society or the particular requirements of people.On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.When asked to decide whether we should have a society without private schools or a society with private schools, I will not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.Although attending a training course will result in the extra cost or burden, it is of tremendous merits in preparing my work and cultivating my skills.3.明星代言

2、明星代言廣告存在一些問題。
3、我的看法。
Celebrities as the products’ spokesmen
In the contemporary society, it is very common for celebrities, or the so-called superstars, to be spokesmen or representatives for a wide variety of products.Celebrities’ advertisements can be easily found on the Internet, televisions, newspapers, magazines and even on the walls of some buildings.There are, however, some problems for celebrities and the consumers.To begin with, before representing, a star may know nothing about the product.Thus, consumers may be misled.Even worse, for the sake of money, some stars advertise for items with low quality, even for fake commodities.In the case of Sanlu, the public image of stars involved was spoiled.Last but not least, the high income of advertising does not deserve their labor, which widens the gap between the poor and the rich.From my point of view, it is high time that measures were taken to eliminate the demerits.Firstly, laws should be worked out to regulate celebrities’ advertising.Secondly, stars should be required to tell the truth to the public.Only by doing so can stars be trusted by their fans and can consumers benefit.(183)

Every individual faces the problem of choosing an occupation after graduating from university, which is of great importance in one’s whole life.An appropriate occupation makes a man work with vigor and zest.Besides, it is beneficial for both the individual and the country.To make an advisable choice, a graduate should take into account at least two aspects, namely, individual’ interest and the demand of the society.Only when the two aspects are connected, can a man show his ability and talent to the best advantage.If the two factors conflict, the former, in most cases, should give way to the latter, for it is interests that stimulate one’s vigor and potential.In regard to my choice in the future, I want to work as an interpreter.I am keen on learning foreign languages, English in particular.Moreover, in the contemporary society, international exchange in economy and culture has been growing significantly.However, competent interpreters are far from enough.So I am determined to be a qualified interpreter.(169)

My View on Job-hopping
Outline: 1.有些人喜歡始終從事一種工作,因為…….2.有些人喜歡經常換工作,因為…..3.我的看法
People's opinions are always different when they talk about job-hopping.Those who never change their job throughout their life maintain that they have accumulated enough experience to work smoothly and efficiently, so what's the point in changing it and taking another job? They also firmly believe that anyone who wants to excel in his specialty has to work hard on the same post for years to acquire the required skill and knowledge.However, many others hold just the opposite view.On the one hand, they believe that if the present job can offer neither satisfactory working conditions nor future opportunities, they will not hesitate a moment to leave.On the other hand, they hold that life is but once and job-hopping can provide rich and exciting experiences.My own opinion is that job-hopping, in this fast-changing era of information, has become more than common and acceptable.If we want to keep pace with the times, we have to change for the faster, the higher and the stronger.If life is a journey, we have nothing to regret so long as we put meaning into it.So why not make a change?

Directions: The summer vacation is drawing near.You, Liming by name, want to find a part-time job.Write an application letter of about 120-150 words within 30 minutes.Dear Sirs,I'm Li Ming, a sophomore majoring in English at XX University.I read in yesterday's newspaper that you are looking for a part-time secretary and I think I'll prove to be a real find for you.During the past two years at university, I‘ve taken over 18 compulsory and optional course, and have according improved my ability of English listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation considerably.Besides, I have learned a lot about foreign relations and trade.At leisure, I always try to grasp every precious opportunity to practice English with native speakers.As a matter of fact, I've already tried some translation and interpretation jobs.I once worked as a temporary interpreter at the East China Export Commodities Fair.In addition, during the past two years, I have been working as a part-time tour guide.My jobs offered me good opportunities to improve my English and work competence and I enjoy them very much.Two weeks from now, I will be on holiday again.If you can grant me the honor to work for your company as a secretary for two months, I'd feel obliged.Thank you for reading my application letter.I'm looking forward to your reply.1.Craze for Civil Service Examinations
1.現在有越來越多的大學畢業生報考公務員
2.引起此現象的原因
3.你的看法
Every year hundreds of thousands of people in China take civil service exams conducted at various levels in the hope of becoming government employees.Among them, college graduates are a fast-growing force that can‘t be ignored.The craze for being a civil servant is not limited to liberal arts majors, as it‘s also gaining popularity among science and engineering students.In the final analysis, this growing trend among the youngsters is mainly attributable to two factors – ambitions and comforts.On one hand, many ambitious college graduates view these exams as a springboard to a higher social status, greater power and prestige, on which many of their other wishes rest.On the other, as being a civil servant generally means a as well stable income, enviable healthcare and pension programmes, as other comforts of life, it‘s quite an appealing career option to many people, especially in this age of sluggish蕭條的 world economy.Personally, the desire to be a government official is beyond reproach(無可厚非), as the nation and the people do need an injection of new blood into the civil service sectors.The fresh-faced college graduates, armed with lofty崇高的 ideals, new vision, and strong drive, are undoubtedly among the best candidates.5.Friendship
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: What does friendship mean? You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:
1.友誼是人生永恒的主題。
2.友誼到底意味著什么。
3.友誼的重要性。
What does friendship mean? There is no definite answer.An eternal theme in literature, friendship is also indispensable in daily life.Friendship is to our life what salt is to dasher.When you are happy, friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade;when you are sad, friendship is a dose of consolation;if you are in trouble, friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you;if you have a hard nut to crack, you can turn to friends for help.We admire the great friendship between Marx and Engel, which firmly combined them and pushed them forward on the road to exploring and fulfilling Communism.Friendship isn't almighty, but no one can live happily without it.3.Private Tutoring
Outline: 1.為孩子聘請家教目前非常普遍 2.家教的利與弊 3.我的看法
Sample: Private tutoring is ―in‖.A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors.Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education.Many parents, for various reasons, missed the chance of obtaining a good education.When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless.Private tutoring is the only solution.As private tutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil clearly.However, private tutoring has its own disadvantages.For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupils‘ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment, which are essential for their physical and mental health.For another, some teachers, busy ―shuttling‖ from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties.What‘s more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well in the test, offering the so-called tips for test-taking rather than help them acquire what is more meaningful.Generally speaking, its disadvantages outweigh its advantages.Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of pupils‘ potentials.Only in this way can a new generation be healthily brought up.Sample 1
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic:
假設你被 選取為交換學生,到美國學習,你會選擇什么做為禮物帶給美國朋友。
Suppose that I am chosen to be an exchange student, ready to stay and study in the USA for a while, I will show the American people the best of our country and our culture.I think the best way to achieve this purpose is to bing them some souvenirs that can best represent Chinese characteristics.I would choose Chinese Ties.The reasons for my choice are twofold.First things first, it symbolizes a Chinese dream, a dream deeply rooted in the Chinese culture—a harmonious society.Typically round in shape, a Chinese Tie reflects ancient Chinese outlook on the world, which, they believe, should be round.In turn, round things signify a harmony.Secondly, I think few things are so wonderful as a...., since just in its middle is a square hole, which has another meaning– the idea of order and rule.Perhaps, there are numerous things that can stand for China, such as …… However, the best that can visualize China, as far as I am concerned, is the Chinese tie.Sample 2
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Fascinating China.You should write at least 120 words according to the situation given below in Chinese:
一位外國朋友第一次來中國,他想讓你介紹兩三樣極具中國特色的事物(可以是風俗文化等),你會向他介紹什么?如何介紹?
The Fascinations of China
China, one of the cradles of human civilization, possesses so many treasures with Chinese characteristics that numerous foreign friends come to visit her.The first place to go to is, the Great Wall, which is the symbol of China and one of the seven wonders in the world.What's more, it is said to be the only construction that can be seen from the outer space.In the imperial periods, it was used in defense of the dynasties.Since liberation, it has become a place of interest.There is a famous saying: “He who does not reach the Great Wall isn't a true man.”
China is home to Panda, an animal with only two colors, white and black, but very cute.It's our national treasure, often functioning as a friendly diplomat.Terracotta-clay warriors unearthed in Xi'an, a famous ancient city-were sculptured in Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty of China.When former U.S.President Clinton came to China, he visited terracotta‘s first.The above mentioned are just a wave of the sea.If you want to know more about this ancient nation, come and be our guest.Sample 3
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Something I admire about the Western Culture.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below :
1.Is there anything in the Western culture you admire?
2.What is it(are they)and why do you like it(them)?
Something I Admire about the Western Culture
Despite the cultural conflicts between the Orient and the Occident, there do exist some admirable ingredients in the Western culture.First and foremost, the equality between parents and children.The parents are not always superior to their children, and the children do not always need to obey their parents‘order, that is, they are more like close friends.Second, the independent personality.Western people have a strong sense of supporting themselves and being independent.They begin earning their pocket money early in their life, even as kids.Last, Western people do not always assess a person according to his background.If only he can achieve success through personal struggle, he can win status.It's a talent-oriented society, not background-oriented.1.“A Letter to the Minister of Education”.Your must base your composition on the following instructions(given in Chinese).Your composition should be no less than 120 words.Remember to write it neatly.假設你是李文,請你就學校假期的安排給教育部長寫一封信,向他建議將學校傳統的長假調整為幾次短假并陳述相關的原因比如:學習時間過長可能引起過度疲勞,而放假過長則可能導致浪費時間等等。
A Letter to the Minister of Education
Dear Minister of Education,I am a college student and I would like to suggest that students should be given several shorter breaks through the year instead of the traditional long vacations.The reasons why I am in favor of it are as follows.First, students must work very hard at their studies.If they work for too long without a break, they may become overtired and discouraged.They may lose their enthusiasm for learning.Second, a very long vacation is not necessary.Students can recharge their energy in a few days rather than weeks.Furthermore, many students do not use a long vacation wisely and just waste their time instead of doing something meaningful.And last but not least, vacations give students time to explore other interests and perhaps apply what they have been learning to the real world.If they always focus on their studies.They may lose touch with what is happening in their society.In conclusion, I believe that students today would benefit more from several short vacations than they do form two long ones.I do hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and make a final wise decision.Yours Sincerely
Li Wen

Sample 1:
Early in senior high school, we longed to be enrolled in a university.Now the dream has come true.But how do we college students like our campus life?
Certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding.Besides study, they spend considerable amount of time improving themselves in various aspects.Yet others do not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit as much.In their eyes, the university is just a bigger high school.The only difference is that they have more time at their disposal without parents looking over their shoulder.As to me, college life is ideal if only I have abundant books to read, some bosom friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious professors to instruct me, and an easy access to the Internet.Sample 2

My fellow students,Last Friday, the Students‘ Union of our Department organized a clean-up project to Zhongshan Lake.The purpose of this project is to enhance(加強)the environment awareness of general public.Late in the afternoon around 4, a group of 35 volunteers went to the park where we pick up the trash(垃圾)left by some tourists.As head of the group, I would like to report to you on the event.Actually, we did a wonderful job.When we were collecting the trash near the lake, many people paused to watch and then came to our help, showing considerable appreciation and support.But our work still left some to be desired.For one thing, since our project started late in the afternoon, hours were not long enough to attract enough people as we had predicted.For the other, lots of people passed by apparently not knowing what we were doing.But for these two drawbacks, our project could have been much better and more effective.So, following are two of my suggestions: next time we have similar activities, try to start earlier, say in the morning.In this case we can put in more hours.And also, as we are getting along, we can put up some posters to tell people what we are doing and call their attention to environment protection.Thank you.Sample 2 真題演講例文

5.Should College Students Live on Campus
v a.有些人喜歡住在學校的宿舍,因為……
v b.有些人喜歡住在校外,因為……
v c.我的看法
There are an increasing number of students who choose to live off campus.Parents and university administrations understandably reacted differently.They voiced concerns about security and the threat of off-campus lifestyles getting out of control.However, college students have their own reasons for their choices.Some students prefer to live on campus for the following reasons.First, campus residents are closer to classes, the library, and other resources, so they are more likely to succeed in college and complete their bachelor‘s degree in four years.Furthermore, living in a dorm is a great opportunity to meet all kinds of new people and develop relationships with them, so students living on campus are more sociable.Last but not the least, living on campus is cheaper and more convenient.Often times, off-campus housing is more expensive than on-campus housing and while living on campus, you don‘t have to worry about monthly rent payments and utility bills.Some others choose to live off campus because they believe living off campus they are more independent, with more privacy and a lot more quiet time.Living off campus gives them freedom from those dorm rules and allow them to set their own.The extra space also means that one can probably find a quiet place to study in the convenience of his own home.As for me, I‘m a faithful supporter of the former group because I, living on campus myself, have witnessed and enjoyed all the convenience and happiness of doing so.To me, living on campus undoubtedly adds an important element to the complete college experience.6-1.How to improve student's mental health
Sample 1
1、大學生的心理健康十分重要
2、因此,學校可以......3、我們自己應當......As is known to all, psychological health is as important as, if not more important than, physical health for a student during his/her growth.However, it‘s quite worrying that nowadays some students are not quite psychologically healthy.Undoubtedly, schools and universities should take great account in the responsibilities of students‘ psychological health.Relevant courses and activities should be introduced to students so that they would be more aware of the significance of psychological health and find appropriate ways to maintain and improve it.For example, there should be a psychological counseling hotline or office for students to turn to when they need some psychological aid.Of course no psychological health can be obtained without the efforts from the students themselves.From my perspective, what they can do is trying to stay positive, optimistic and follow the right guidelines from their schools.To be more specific, they can participate in some activities such as voluntary work to cultivate an opening and caring mind.Meanwhile, harmful impacts from the cyber space should definitely be avoided.6-2面對壓力、困難、挫折、災難的主題
Sample 2 On Stress 面對壓力
1.壓力是學生和工作的人都面對的事情。
2.有人說壓力過大,影響到身心健康,使人無法做出最佳表現;也有人說,壓力能夠使人不斷進取,是一個人不斷進步的必須條件。
3.我的看法。
(1.有的人害怕壓力。
2.有的人認為壓力并不是一件壞事。
3.我的看法。)
With the fast pace of modern life, more and more people are living under great pressure.Some people are afraid of pressure.They think that the stresses and strains of work deprive them of joy and happiness.In their view, stress does harm to them both physically and mentally.That is why they prefer something less competitive and strenuous to something more demanding and challenging.Others argue that stress isn't as bad as it often supposed to be.Unless it is overwhelming, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and stimulation.Without stress, you may slack off and idle away your time.It gives purpose and meaning to an otherwise meaningless, dull life.People under stress tend to bring their potential into full play and to realize their goals.In my opinion, we shouldn't escape from stress but to face it as it is.What we can do is to adapt to the stress and to profit from it rather than to avoid it.Sample 3 On disasters 面對災難
1.人的一生中,可能會遇到一些災難事件,給我們的生活帶來意外的打擊。
2.面對災難,我們應該堅強,不要過于沉湎于悲痛,積極面對人生。
3.我的看法。
As we all know, one‘s life is full of unexpected events, some of which are wonderful and some of which are disastrous.Those heavy blows, such as, floods, snowstorms, and earthquakes, threaten to weigh one down..However, it‘s even worse if one can‘t drag himself out of the grief in that break-down in the sprit is more serious than the disaster itself.Instead of indulging oneself in sadness, one should be positive of life and contribute to the reconstruction of the hometown..As to me, if I am not the victim of a disaster, I will try my best to help those who are suffering by donation blood or money.If I am a victim, I will try my best to recover from the sadness as soon as possible and try to be strong and supportive to the recovery work..Sample4 On Crisis 論危機

Crisis is to us what illness is to our body.On the one hand, illness can harm our body and sometimes even put an end to our life.In the same manner, crisis can cause damage to our life and career.On the other, just as illness sometimes can harden and strengthen our body(our immune system), so crises, especially those minor crises in life sometimes can be turned into a bless to us.A ready example that comes to mind is the earthquake crisis that has recently devastate most of Kyushu, Qinghai Province.Admittedly, it has cost us quite a lot.So many people were seriously injured and still so many even lost their lives.And our economy suffers a temporary setback and a slowdown.However we also have learned a great deal from it.Never has our nation been so united or have our people been more aware of value of lives.All in all, if we can bear in mind all the sufferings and ordeals we have experienced, then all our blood, tear, toil and sweat will not go unrewarded.7.投訴信

Dear President,I am a sophomore with the Department of Law.My name is Wang Ming.I am writing to you today to intimate you with something undesirable that I have found in the University Library.You may or may not realize how much our library, the landmark of our university or even of our town, weighs in our minds.It is a place we are most proud of and where we like to spend most of our time.In such an honorable place we have noticed recently some phenomena which hurt our eye.Some seats in the reading rooms are ?permanently reserved vacant seats‘, that is, some students ―occupy‖ some seats they never come to use.What a terrible waste of valuable resource!Some other students are too noisy, talking among themselves, leaving mobile phone beeping anytime.And some library staff is ill-mannered and rude and not helpful most of time.These and other undesirable things have already done damage to the fame of our university and caused a lot of inconvenience to the users.Dear President, we hope that something can be done to change and reverse the current situation.Let our cozy, comfortable, quiet, effective library come back.Best wishes
Yours sincerely,Wang Ming

Sample 1: Statistics of Family Expenses in Shanghai
As is shown in the table above, dramatic changes have taken place in family expenses in the City of Shanghai within two decades(from 1980 to 2000).The most obvious change is in expense on food and clothing, which has dropped by 48%, while those on recreation, education and health care have increased respectively by 5%, l6% and l0%.Expenses on other things keep rising from 17% to 35%.The statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but are in fact closely related to one another.The most likely factors accounting for these changes are as follows:
Development in economy is the fundamental one.The increased income results in the lowering percentage of food and clothing.Another factor lies in the development of people‘s concept.People begin to interest themselves in recreation and education.These changes should also be attributed to social reforms.In the 1990‘s, college education was not totally free as it was before, which also accounts for the rising expenses on education.Soon after, the government gradually stopped offering houses to its citizens without charges.People had to save a large proportion of their money for housing.That's partly why the expenses for ''others'' doubled.As for the more expenses on health care, I figure there are two main reasons: the cancellation of free medical care and people‘s awareness of the importance of health.The changes reflect the development of the city and indicate that people are enjoying more.Sample 2:
根據國務院發布的:限塑令‖,自2008年6月1日起,在所有超市、商場實行塑料購物袋有償使用制度,超市、商場一律不得免費提供塑料購物袋。請你寫一篇英語短文,要求包括以下內容:
現狀:目前中國每天消費近30億個塑料袋,造成了嚴重的資源浪費和環境污染;
限塑令的意義:減少塑料袋使用量,提高公眾的環保意識;
提倡:重拎布袋子,重提菜籃子。
As we all know, white trash mainly refers to the plastic bags we consume everyday.And this pollution has been affecting us for many years.It is reported that 3 billion plastic bags are used on a daily basis.Fortunately, the government has take measures to deal with the increasingly serious problem.A new ban was launched not quite long ago that plastic shopping bags are no longer free.This ban is significant in the following aspects.First of all, it contributes to the reduced quantities of plastic bags and therefore can relieve the pressure of white trash on the environment.Furthermore, the environmental awareness will be strengthened and thus benefit other aspects of the environmental protection.In all, we have only one earth, which doesn‘t belong to our generation only.It‘s the responsibility for every individual to take actions to protect it.Let‘s use more cloth bags, baskets instead of plastic bags.Only by taking actions can we really rescue our mother earth from being drown in the trash.住房話題參考閱讀文章
“To buy or to rent”, that is a question about living for most young people who just graduated from university or who have worked for one or two years in big cities.Many people see it as a torturing choice and feel weak in face of it.sub-topics:
1.Which one will choose or have you chosen? Why?
2.Discussion: the advantages and disadvantages of buying a house and renting a house.3.What's your expectation about the realty market in the coming 10 years?
Millions of Americans have been unable to pay the mortgage on their houses and have had to leave them.Many are now renting, but are finding it difficult financially
Owning your home was once part of the American dream.But that dream has faded because of the economic recession in the United States.Millions of Americans have been unable to pay the mortgage on their houses and have had to leave them.Without a home of their own, many people are now renting, but this also can be difficult financially.Until recently, Brenda Ganaway lived in a home of her own in Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb close to Washington, D.C.But then the economic crisis hit and she was unable to keep paying the mortgage on her house.“We were behind on a few payments and we couldn't get a loan anywhere, so they just immediately foreclosed it and told us we had a certain amount of days to leave,” she explained.There are millions of people like Brenda Ganaway in America now.Raphael Bostic is the assistant secretary at the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD.He says the number of Americans who own their homes is steadily dropping.“The homeownership rate in the United States used to be somewhere close to 70 percent.We've fallen off by several million households now,” he said.“And so the rate is down considerably.And a lot of those have now gone into the rental market.”
Renting does have some advantages over home ownership.If a renter wants to move, for example, he does not have to worry about finding a buyer for the house.Yazgul Odekova manages a rental property in Alexandria.She says the major reason people rent is that it is usually less expensive than owning a home.“People rent for different reasons.Number one is affordability,” she said.“It is cheaper to rent and it is risk-free.”
Renting is cheaper for many reasons, says Arun Shu.He is an international businessman who rents a home near Washington.He says there are many costs to owning a house besides paying the monthly mortgage.“If you decide to buy a house, a lot of expenses are involved.Not only payment if you take a mortgage, but also you have to pay property tax, maintenance and upkeep of the house,” he said.“You probably will want to spend some money on renovating the house, remodeling parts of the house if you buy [a] used house.”
But even renting can be difficult in today's market, especially in big cities.Danilo Pelletiere is an official at the National Low Income Housing Coalition.He says there just are not enough homes to rent and poor people are the most affected.“In the United States there has been a focus both at the local level and a national level on home ownership.That affected renters, low-income people and the like and a result you have shortage of three million units of affordable housing for lowest income people,” he said.Even if a house is available, Mr.Pelletiere says, being able to pay for it is another problem.To afford the rent, he says, many poor people work more than one job.“Today you need multiple minimum wage jobs to be able to afford a two-bedroom apartment,” he added.“We calculated about $18 an hour.”
Even if a person can afford the rent there are other obstacles.Yazgul Odekova, the property manager in Alexandria, says most people just do not meet the necessary qualifications, such as being able to prove they can afford the rental payments.“Right now from every 10 application we turned down nine.It is not just because people are dishonest.Sometimes people have big medical bills, sometimes people have bankruptcy, because suddenly they became sick and don't have health insurance.Sometimes peoples' income is very low, sometimes it is unstable relationship between people,” Odekova said.HUD's Raphael Bostic says the U.S.government has programs to help low-income families pay the rent.“We provide direct subsidy where we try to make sure that families are not overly burdened [so we don't wanna go over that 30 percent ratio], but that they can get into some decent high-quality housing,” Bostic said.But most analysts agree that until the U.S.economy improves, buying a home or renting one will be especially hard for low-income people.1.My View on the Income Gap
Outline: 1.收入差距懸殊是當前社會的一種現象 2.人們對之褒貶不一 3我的看法
Sample
Now the income gap is getting wider and wider.In some privately owned firms, joint-ventures, or foreign-fund companies, an executive‘s yearly income is ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker‘s.Faced with this situation, people will undoubtedly have different opinions.Some believe that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force is often derived from the gap.In other words, the gap inspires people and gives a push to advancement.Others speak of its side effect: income gap is often the root of social unrest and also contrary to our country‘s principle.From my point of view, while it is true that the income gap may stimulate the social development to some extent, it causes trouble as well.An income gap that is too wide for most people to bear can neither contribute to the stability of a country nor promote its economic development.Therefore, while we are advocating the rapid development of our country, we should tolerate the narrow income gap but narrow the wide one.4.Fast Food

Fast Food
Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.Today, nothing is more representative of the fast pace of modern society than fast food.There are several reasons for its popularity.First, it is quick and convenient.Go into a fast food restaurant, and your food will be ready in a minute.You can satisfy your hunger instantly.Precious time won't be wasted in waiting-in-line to order or waiting at your table for your food to arrive.Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean food, the excellent service and the comfortable environment of the fast food restaurant.However, I think that fast food isn't healthy enough because it does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition.Doctors suggest that people should avoid eating too much fast food.Although home cooking is time-consuming and following washing-u p tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs.1.2010年作文預測--地震慰問信

Every year hundreds of thousands of people in China take civil service exams conducted at various levels in the hope of becoming government employees.Among them, college graduates are a fast-growing force that can’t be ignored.The craze for being a civil servant is not limited to liberal arts majors, as it’s also gaining popularity among science and engineering students.In the final analysis, this growing trend among the youngsters is mainly attributable to two factors – ambitions and comforts.On one hand, many ambitious college graduates view these exams as a springboard to a higher social status, greater power and prestige, on which many of their other wishes rest.On the other, as being a civil servant generally means a as well stable income, enviable healthcare and pension programmes, as other comforts of life, it’s quite an appealing career option to many people, especially in this age of sluggish蕭條的 world economy.Personally, the desire to be a government official is beyond reproach(無可厚非), as the nation and the people do need an injection of new blood into the civil service sectors.The fresh-faced college graduates, armed with lofty崇高的 ideals, new vision, and strong drive, are undoubtedly among the best candidates.[2010四級寫作] 12月四級寫作話題預測:當村官

In recent years being a village official has become the first choice of many college students when they graduate and are trying to find a job.According to a report carried by The Chinese Education Daily the number of students who apply for the post increases at the annual rate of 20 percent in recent five years, which well justifies the popularity of becoming a village official
among college students.Several factors may account for this popularity.First, it is the fierce competition of job market that forces the college graduates to consider other alternatives other than staying in the big cities as they used to.Secondly, to encourage well-educated young talents to work in the rural areas, the government authorities have made some policies offering major incentives to college graduates who are willing to work for rural governments at grassroots level, especially for village committees.For example, those who work for a rural committee for at least three years after graduation can get a 10-point credit in their exams to enter graduate schools.The preferential treatment is appealing to many students.Last but not least, many students consider working as a village official is a rewarding opportunity.It will acquaint themselves with the very society of our country as well as improve their adaptability to different circumstances, both of which are believed to be beneficial to their future career.In my opinion, college students working as a village official is worth promoting.It is possible that some graduates may use the job as “spring boards”: only applying for it in order to receive the favorable treatment, but the majority of them genuinely hope to serve the rural areas and better the life of the villagers.With the participation of so many college graduates, we have reasons to believe that it will not take too long to realize the blueprint of Constructing New Village.[2010四級寫作] 12月四級寫作話題預測:支教

Dear Sir or Madam,I learned from Beijing Youth Daily Oct.2 that your company is offering a position for a secretary, and it's a great pleasure for me to write to explore the possibility of seeking the job.I graduated two years ago from Beijing University of Technology, and obtained a bachelor's degree in the field of business manage?ment.During my stay in the university my major courses included macro-economics, business communication skills, marketing and com?puter applications.I was especially fond of the communication skills which enabled me to deal with people and things around well.Upon graduation I engaged with HP China Branch as an assis?tant to the head of Marketing Department.My responsibilities consist?ed of carrying out market surveys, writing reports and organizing meet?ings within the department.This two-year experience has helped me a lot in many ways.In particular, I become increasingly aware of the importance of co-ordination and co-operation among co-workers.I also believe the experience will qualify me for the current vacancy in your company.I passed both CET-4 and CET-6 with high marks.My spoken English is also fluent enough to organize meetings in English, which was actually my routine work in HP.Most of my market reports were presented in English, as my former boss is a native English speaker
I enclose herein my resume and some relevant documents as re?quired.And if you need any further information on me, I also refer you to Mr.Johnson, my ex-colleague, who is available at 021-66668888.I appreciate your sincere consideration of me,and am looking forward to an early interview with you.Sincerely yours,Wang Peng

參考范文:
People's opinions are always different when they talk about job-hopping.Those who never change their job throughout their life maintain that they have accumulated enough experience to work smoothly and efficiently, so what's the point in changing it and taking another job? They also firmly believe that anyone who wants to excel in his specialty has to work hard on the same post for years to acquire the required skill and knowledge.However, many others hold just the opposite view.On the one hand, they believe that if the present job can offer neither satisfactory working conditions nor future opportunities, they will not hesitate a moment to leave.On the other hand, they hold that life is but once and job-hopping can provide rich and exciting experiences.My own opinion is that job-hopping, in this fast-changing era of information, has become more than common and acceptable.If we want to keep pace with the times, we have to change for the faster, the higher and the stronger.If life is a journey, we have nothing to regret so long as we put meaning into it.So why not make a change?

Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision.It provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our life.Just as Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer put it, “And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated.This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life.First things first, ambition renders us a sense of mission.No matter what decision you make you have to be responsible for your choice.Your choice procures you a sense of orientation, or more specially a sense of mission.And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness.Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered.” And became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome.John Milton, stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which England would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature.In the second place, ambition can bring one’s potentials to the full.Ambition may well serve as a catalyst activating one’s dormant potentials.Without ambition one’s potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano.A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Helen Keller.It was her ambition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon.Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction.If wrongly directed, one’s ambition may bring havoc on him and others.Hitler, whose ambition was to conquer Europe by whatever evil means, finally turned him into a demon.It was this demon that almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering.Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland.However, his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan.Consequently, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom.To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves.A poet says: life can be bad;life can be good;life can be dirty;life can be sad,;life can even be painful.In my mind’s eye, a person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-orientated ambition

考研英語小作文和大作文備考經驗談
作文歷來是研究生入學考試的重中之重,每年都有無數考研英豪難過英語關,從而與成功一步之遙,失之交臂。在名目繁多的輔導機構的海報滿天飛與媒體炒作日漸升溫時,如何一方面保持清醒的頭腦,一方面找到適合自己并且針對行之有效的學習方法,才是真正關鍵的問題。本文將重點給各位網友講講考研英語小作文、大作文的備考技巧經驗。
一、應用文(小作文)
應用文寫作要求考生在三個方面完成要求:一要注意把握信息點;第二是把握語言點,內容要十分明確,不要出現過多的錯誤;第三是要注意格式和語言。一是掌握格式的線條,主要是掌握兩種大的文類,一個是正式文體,一個是非正式文體。如果應用文涉及的是商務或者公務之類較正式的東西,那么語言表達的時候也得注意格式和書面化、規范化;如果要求寫便條給朋友的話,就應當用主語化的表達方式。
這幾個方面注意了,就可以很大地緩解難度。應用文的字數要求是100個字,大概8句話,8句話怎么分配呢?第一段就寫一句話,第一句話表明你寫信的基本內容:如果是詢問信息的話,就說你寫這封信要詢問以下幾個問題;如果是投訴,就說寫這封信是要表達對什么東西的不滿;如果是請求信,就說寫這封信想要請求什么東西就可以了。總之,就一句話,簡明扼要。然后,用簡練的語言表達清楚題目要求表達的內容和信息。最后一句話,就是一個禮貌的結尾。
二、大作文
大作文的寫作一般會給考生寫作提綱,或圖表、圖畫,或圖文并茂。命題方式雖然多樣,但題目涉及面往往是考生比較熟悉的內容,目的是測定考生語言的實際應用能力。要求表達清楚,文字連貫,中心突出,內容豐富,句式多變,句子結構和用詞正確。
語言的應用能力不可能一蹴而就,必須厚積薄發,必須經過長期的實踐鍛煉。如何提高英語寫作能力呢?一是要背大量的優秀范文,整段整篇地背,并轉換為自己的語言,寫作時才能隨心所欲地支配。考試時避免套用以前死記硬背的幾個范文,把一些詞不達意的詞堆積在一起,沒有統一性,無法很好地表現主題。
二是要多動手。包括對背過的文章進行詞語替換、句式轉換、句子重組等,以及對某一主題展開寫作。多動手才能提高筆下功夫,才能保證在考場上順利寫作。可以說背誦范文是培養語感、積累素材、掌握寫作方法的途徑,動手寫作則是實踐,是最終目的,這兩者結合起來,就是“理論聯系了實際”。另外,背誦范文應有針對性,寫作訓練也是一樣,在訓練中要掌握每一類型作文的寫作規律,根據其寫作特點(如提綱式作文就要求考生根據提綱提示的思路和規定的要點展開段落)進行全面訓練。但是,注意不要帶有押題的心理,靠背幾篇范文就能應付考試的心態是不可取的。很多高分考生認為,背誦《新概念英語》第三冊,熟練掌握其中的各種表達方式,并堅持每天進行英語隨筆練習,對于提高英語寫作能力十分有益。
三、應試技巧
1、認真審題
作文第一步是仔細審題,考生要仔細閱讀試題要求及相關信息,如圖表、圖畫、數字等,準確把握出題者意圖。考研作文忌信手拈來,提筆就寫,根本不審題,想到哪兒就寫到哪兒,或完全憑自己想象編故事,置考試要求于不顧,“下筆千言,離題萬里”。比如1998年考研作文是一幅卡通畫,老母雞申明外加一首打油詩,諷刺一些企業把該盡職之事作為推銷產品的承諾。2000年的作文“a brief history of world commercial fishing”,它給出了兩張圖,從1900年的漁船和魚量之比到1995年的漁船和魚量之比的變化談如何保護漁業資源,應從商業性濫捕魚這一主題展開話題,有的考生卻大談環境污染。這就偏離了主題,因為題中自始至終都沒有談到環境污染問題。
有的同學沒有審題習慣,或擔心時間不夠草草審題,最后文不對題,草草收場,這必然會影響英語成績,同時也會影響后兩門考試的心情。
2、列出提綱
考試規定的時間是很有限的,所以不能花太多時間準備一個詳細的提綱,但關鍵詞提綱或粗略提綱還是非常有必要的。對原始材料分析歸納后要形成一個基本的框架。文章打算分幾段寫,每段大概怎樣寫,字數控制在多少,開頭段落是道破主題、點明要旨、引人入勝還是先給出主題一般的背景情況和對主題進行濃縮的陳述,中間段落和結尾又怎樣寫,等等,這些都要心中有數。有的考生習慣用漢語構思文章,逐句翻譯提綱,當碰到某個詞卡住時就翻譯不下去,僵在那里。要注意列提綱是為了更好更全面地表達主題。主題的表達可有多種形式,不一定非要尋找一個特定的詞或句子。考試時考生要充分調動大腦,靈活運用以前所學知識。
3、開始寫作
一篇文章往往由四部分組成:標題(title),首段(opening paragraph),主體(body paragraph),結尾段(concluding paragraph)。標題要新穎,能引起讀者興趣。首段的內容根據文章的體裁而變化:比如議論文可以從一種現象、一種觀點出發引出作者的觀點,記敘文往往交代人物和故事背景。主體是文章的主要部分,通過合適的語篇模式表達一定的觀點,考生要圍繞中心按一定順序分層次有重點地展開敘述、描寫和議論。結尾段是對全文的總結,論點上要與前面的敘述保持一致
寫好英語文章的20字訣

堅持八條英文寫作守則
1.Organize your thoughts before writing: brainstorm、make an outline、etc.下筆前整合思緒:腦力激蕩,寫出綱要等。
2.Write clearly.Be concise.Avoid wordiness.寫作清晰,務必精簡,避免贅言。
3.Use good grammar and write complete sentences.使用好的文法,寫出完整句子。
4.Write simple sentences.Avoid a fancy style.嘗試簡單句,避免花俏的句法。
5.Avoid slang、cliche and informal words.避免俚語、陳腔濫調和非正式用字。
6.Avoid use of the first person(i.e.I/me/my)unless necessary to specific piece.除非必要,避免使用第一人稱:如“我/我的”。
7.Writing naturally.Read it aloud.Does it sound natural? Does it flow? 自然揮灑,大聲朗誦。整篇文章聽起來自然嗎?通順嗎?
8.Move logically from one idea to the next.Don't skip steps.上下句意要合乎邏輯。別毫無章法亂跳。
談英語作文的“寫”與“作”
絕大多數的英語學習者,一想到寫英語作文,就會頭“大”。他們常常苦思冥想,然后草草而就,只求按時“交差”,別的就顧不上了。這種狀態下炮制出來的“大作”,其質量可想而知。
對初學者而言,一篇英語作文的過程,至少應該包括兩個階段,“寫”與“作”。
所謂“寫”的過程應該與中文寫作沒有很大區別,無非是扣題,構思,表述。惟一要特別注意的是,我們寫英語作文時,一般要求的字數比較少,所以我們在文章的結構上更須注意突出重點,集中火力。在非重點部分,不要隨便發揮,而應該盡量直奔主題。以本次征文比賽為例,題目是The English Teacher I Admire Most,那么文章的重點應該是講述why I admire him/her,what is so special about him/her,what I see in him/her,what has made him/her such a wonderful teacher等等,你可以狀貌,但主要應該是“寫神”,狀貌應該簡短,應該只起鋪墊的作用。寫這篇文章當然離不開敘事,全文可能敘述一件或多件事,那么這一件或多件事各自所占的分量應該有分寸,使整篇文章保持平衡。敘事時應該直奔主旨。英語寫作的傳統非常注重所謂的topic sentence——能夠統攝全文或者全段的句子。這個句子最好出現在文章的開頭,然后在文章的結尾處用不同的表述呼應這個句子。例如,有一篇應征例文的第一句是這樣的:She takes us into the magical English world。這就是一個非常有力的topic sentence。這一個句子就足可吸引讀者,讓讀者相信作者心中對她確實有一種毫無保留甚或“五體投地”的admiration,接下來就會有興趣了解她究竟有怎樣的magic power,讓學生如此著迷。這篇文章的結句是her charisma(魅力)is unbelievable,非常有力度,charisma與unbelievable兩個詞巧妙地呼應了magic這個詞。文章需要topic sentence,每個段落最好也要有這樣非常powerful的topic sentence。構思完成以后,就是落筆表述的過程。這個過程應該迅速,最好能夠一氣呼成,不要過多地顧忌是否犯了語法錯誤,或者表述是否清楚。不要猶猶豫豫,一步三回頭,因為在完成了
“寫”以后,你還有一個“作”的過程。所謂“作”,就是“精雕細作”。英語初學者常常覺得自己“眼高手低”,想表述的意思難以成文,本來很精致的“意”卻表現為頗為笨拙的“文”。這當然與我們掌握的詞匯有限相關。但是,我們有限的詞匯與表達,經過適當的調度與搭配,還是可以“作”出好文章來的。
我們在寫完初稿以后,不妨讓自己的好友讀一下,看看他是否明白文章的每一個句子。因為作者自己常常把想到而沒有表述出來的信息也read into the article,因此不容易發現表述不清的問題。
處理完了表述問題以后,就進入“深加工”階段。英語寫作最強調韻律感,即使是高深的學術文章,讀起來常常也會很有“樂感”。這種“樂感”主要來自于句子結構的變化與組合。簡而言之,就是長短結合,錯落有致。英語的句子結構變化比較多,但我們在寫作時受漢語的影響很深,寫出的句子常常整齊劃一,缺少變化。我們在加工時,就要有意地想:某幾個簡單句能加工成一個復合句或者復雜句;我們的每一個句子的主語是否都是“人”(從頭到尾都是he或者we),是否可以用一個抽象名詞或者一個ing結構來充當其中某些句子的主語,以此構成主語的變化;在一個“意群”中,是否每個句子都是以主語開始;是否每個句子的謂語動詞都是簡單的一個動詞,能否把其中的某一個或幾個改成詞組;能否構成一個又一個“短句+長句+短句”的意群組合;對于每一個表述,都可以想一下,這種表述是否太中文化,英語是否有更簡單的表達。
某個大詩人曾經說過:詩是“寫”出來的,而不應該是“作”出來的。但對我們英語初學者而言,在練習時,還是應該一次又一次地、有意識地經歷這樣的“作”的過程。“作”多了,方能在“臨戰”時瀟灑地“寫”。(作者:梁凱文,華東師大英語系副教授)
英語寫作中的“結構重組”問題 各類考試中英語寫作雖有模板可循,究其實質,仍是漢譯英。任何一名考生在英語寫作中,難逃“漢譯英”的邏輯套路,所走思路一般為先胸中形成漢語意思,再將漢語意思轉換為英文,即便英語素養較高的考生,在兩者轉換過程中沒有時間差,出手即英文也是不太可能的。就在這一轉換過程中,盡顯英雄本色,英語英雄者,妙筆生花,出手不凡;英語笨拙者,最后只能造出個不中不洋的拙劣句子。我們可以給漢譯英一個重新定位:包含所有語言信息的一種結構再造。具體說來就是面對一句中文,翻譯時要打亂原有語序和結構,自行設計,重組語言信息,無限靠近原汁原味的英語,姑且將這種方法稱之為“結構重組”。這一點是基于這么一個事實:英語跟中文的語序和結構不盡一樣。下面舉例說明:
(1)簡單句類(所謂簡單句,即是含有一個動詞的句子)
看一例:他嗓門大。最容易翻譯成:His voice is loud.評語:超級直白
而更好的翻譯是:He has a loud voice.其實就成了 他有一個大嗓門。如果第一步便翻譯成he has a loud voice,恭喜,你就被歸入少數具備英語思維的高手類了,就這么簡單。
對策:多多積攢類似例句,然后多多模仿。
試一個:她身材好,便可翻譯成:She has a good figure.(2)復雜句類
看一例:我抬頭一看,只見一群衣衫襤褸的孩子,默默無聲得站于四周,觀看著我倆進餐。
按照原文語序很容易翻成:I looked up and saw that a group of children in rags surrounding us silently and seeing us eating dinner.評語:直白,動詞堆砌,不流暢。
先準備語言信息:抬頭一看:look up;衣衫襤褸的孩子:children in rags;默默:silently;觀看:look at。最后范文是:Looking up, I saw that we were surrounded by children in rags who were looking at us as we ate.(新概念3 第48課line35-36)
分析:范文用到了現在分詞作伴隨狀語(looking up,),主動意思由被動形式表達,(were surrounded by)并設計出一個定語從句來(who were looking at us as we ate)原文中看不出來定語(….的)痕跡。
對策,含有多個動詞的句子,將動詞進行主次區分,次要動詞非謂語化,主要動詞謂語化,附帶從句設計,定語從句首當其沖現行被考慮。
總之,寫句子時,不要立馬下手,凝神定氣,多三思,在結構安排上有所建樹和創新,大膽
將信息重組,結構優化,力圖寫出地道的英文句子,這是個長期的功夫。
最后建議學員可將新概念2,3 冊拿來做漢譯英的練習,將每篇課文的中文譯文試著翻譯成英文,再與原文對照,個中差距,一對照即曉個清楚。
怎樣獲得英語專業四級考試寫作高分
(一)寫作題的性質
寫作是人們表達思想的一種重要手段,我們稱之為comprehensive test的綜合測試,體現的是學生綜合運用語言的能力。因為它不僅考核考生對詞匯的掌握、對語法的應用,同時也考查了學生的表達能力、思維的邏輯性和條理性。我們知道,學習英語需掌握四種技能:聽、說、讀、寫。聽和讀是語言的input(輸入)過程,因而對于聽力和閱讀的測試是考查學習者的被動英文技能;說和寫是語言的output(輸出)過程,對于口語和寫作的測試則是考查學習者的主動英文技能。學習者的被動英文水平往往高于主動英文水平,因此聽力理解材料的難度往往大于口語的內容,閱讀理解材料的難度往往要大于寫作。由此可見,在經過兩年基礎專業課的學習后,學習者應該將重點放在把被動英文水平轉化成主動英文水平上。一旦我們的大腦有了大量的語言輸出之后,就能達到出口成章、下筆有神的境界。
(二)英語專業四級寫作要求
(1)能根據各種不同的聽讀材料筆頭回答問題,復述內容寫摘要、寫提綱和記筆記。
(2)能根據題目列出寫作提綱,在一小時內寫出200~250詞的短文。
以上均要求做到內容完整、條理清楚,語法基本正確,語言通順恰當。
(3)能寫一般的書信、通知、便條、請帖,填寫簡單的表格,格式正確,語言得體。
寫作課培養學生初步寫作能力,包括提綱、文章摘要、短文以及最簡單的常用應用文。
(三)考試大綱對英語專業寫作的要求和規定
(1)測試目的:按照英語專業基礎階段英語教學大綱的要求,檢查學生在基礎階 段末期的英語寫作能力。
(2)題型:主觀試題,分為Section A和Section B兩個部分。
Section A: Composition寫作文
Section B: Note-writing寫便條
(3)測試要求:
a)作文。要求根據所給的題目和列出的寫作提綱或圖表、數字統計表等(也附有寫作提綱)寫一篇150詞的短文,能做到內容切題、完整,條理清楚,文章結構嚴謹,語法正確,語言通順恰當。作文的類別有說明文、議論文或記敘文。考試時間為35分鐘。
b)便條。要求根據提示寫大約50~60詞的便條、通知、請帖等。要求做到格式正確,語言得體。考試時間為10分鐘。
(四)英語專業四級寫作的評分標準
1.作文的評分標準

(4)句型多樣化,句法結構正確。
(5)用詞得體、恰當、豐富。
(6)語法正確。
(7)拼寫及標點正確,書寫整潔。
(五)高分密招
很多學習者翻開作文書籍,就如同想打開一本武功秘籍,只希望看到5個字母trick(技巧)。技巧固然十分重要,但在應試準備中,常常需要70%的基礎和30%的技巧。這里要提醒 大家的是,不可高估技巧的作用,猶如在武打片中,要想得到某某寶典和劍法,是需要付出慘痛的代價的。
1.在考場中,常常感到無話可說,該怎么辦? 的確,在考場中有些考生由于緊張,常常會出現大腦一片空白,在10分鐘之內動不了筆。對于這種在考場中思維短路的現象,有兩種對策。
對策一:逆向思維法。考生在拿到一個作文話題、但不知該如何動筆時,可以去聯想有關該 話題的具體事件,從具體事件中提煉出觀點,再將觀點反彈回去,即topic具體事件觀點。例如看到The Advantage and Disadvantage of TV這個文章題目時,如果不知如何下筆,可以去聯想一些具體的電視節目。一提到電視節目,就會自然而然地想到《新聞聯播》。《新聞聯播》有哪些好處呢?當然是開拓視野,了解世界。同時,還會聯想到一些暴力片和色情片,它們對兒童的身心健康發展不利。
對策二:正說反說法。考生在寫作中感到觀點空洞茫然,不易理論清楚,甚至不知從何談起時,可以從正、反兩個方面對議題進行“擺事實,講道理”,即“如果這樣,就會怎么樣; 如果不這樣,又會怎么樣”。
2.在寫作中,遇到不會表達的詞語該怎么辦?
對于母語是中文的學習者,其中文詞匯量往往大于英文詞匯量,在英文寫作中遇到不能表 達的詞語是最正常不過的事情了。但有的考生在遇到不會拼寫的單詞時,往往絞盡腦汁,冥思苦想,結果造成思維短路,得不償失。其實,對于這種情況,也有兩種對策。
對策一:用其近義詞代替。
如在寫Student Use of Computer這篇作文時,很多同學以“在 最近10年里,學生使用電腦的小時數一直在增加”這句話來開頭。“10年”可以用decade表 示,“增加”可以用ascend表示。但是不知道這兩個詞或對于它們的拼寫沒有把握時,可用 其近義詞表示,如“10年”直接用ten years就可以,“增加”還可用increase, go up, rise, grow, jump, climb等。在這個時候,考生必須遵守“寧為瓦全,不可玉碎”的原則。這就要求在平時注意多收集一些同義詞。如在每一篇作文中都會用到的一個單詞“認為”,英文中有很多單詞來表達此義,如think, agree, claim, maintain, argue, believe, h old, suggest, view…as, regard…as, consider…(as)。又如另一個單詞“目前,最近”,可用nowadays, these years, recently, lately, currently, at present。此外,同義詞的收集與運用有助于考生在寫作中用詞多樣化。
對策二:當考生在寫作中,既找不到該詞 的近義詞,又不能用解釋性的語言進行闡述時,考生可以考慮用其上義詞或下義詞來代替。
上義詞是對事物的概括性、抽象性說明;下義詞是事物的具體表現形式。如Owing a Car這 篇文章談到擁有汽車的弊端,其中有一點是汽車會排放出一氧化碳(carbon oxide)和二氧化 碳(carbon dioxide),對空氣造成污染。當然,如果不知道如何拼寫,更不知該如何去 釋義一氧化碳和二氧化碳時,可以用它們的上義詞poisonous gases來表示,因為不 論是一氧化碳還是二氧化碳都是有毒氣體。又如Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus(大學生該如何走出校園了解世界),提綱的第二點要求是大學生了解社會的途徑(大眾媒體、社會服務等)。“大眾媒體”為mass media,“社會服務”為social service。如果考生不會表達,但是在提綱里又明確規定不能不寫時,可以用其下義詞來代替。大眾媒 體的具體表現形式是TV,radio, newspaper, internet;社會服務的具體表現形式則為par t|time job, tutoring等。因而,考生在寫作中遇到不會表達的單詞時,應該沉著冷靜,考慮用其近義詞、上義詞或下義詞來代替。
如何給閱卷老師留下美好的第一印象
要想作文獲得高分,顯而易見就是要給閱卷老師留下美好的印象。老師們的閱卷過程是郁悶枯燥的。使自己的文章在大約1分鐘的閱讀時間內,迅速地在他們的腦海中形成較多的興奮點,是至關重要的。
首先,作文的寫作時間為35分鐘,合理的時間安排為10+20+5,前面的10分鐘用來讀題審題,構思并列提綱,接著的20分鐘用來按照提綱寫作,最后5分鐘用來檢查及潤色。合理的時 間安排是寫出優秀 作文的必不可少的第一步。
其次,卷面的設置。要想讓閱卷老師對你的作文試卷有一種賞心悅目的感覺,作文的排版應該不多于2/3,不少于1/3,要留有余地,不要將卷面寫得密密麻麻。字體不要過大或過小。字跡要工整。段落方面,英語專業四級考試作文的特點決定了作文寫法的基本框架為三段論。俗話說,事不過三,超過了三段后就會讓人感到過于繁瑣。并且應當注意的是,每段開頭都應該有縮進,留有兩個單詞的位置。
再次,除了形式之外,作文 的內容也尤其重要。閱卷老師閱卷一般是從第一段看語言,從第二段看結構。這就要求考生 的作文開頭部分以及每一段的第一句一定要寫得像英文,不要出現任何的拼寫或語法錯誤。除了語言的地道外,還要求作文有層次感。可以用一系列表示邏輯關系的連詞,即路標 詞來表示思路的清晰,如and, however, furthermore,also, what"s more等。此外,還可 以用對等的句式結構,如for one thing, for another; On the one hand, on the other hand等來增加文章的層次感。總之,議論文對語言的要求主要體現在三個方面:①用 恰當的邏輯詞表現文章的邏輯性。②要注意自然段與主題句的運用,即用自然段表現出文章 的邏輯性,并在每段中用主題句說明要點,給人一目了然的感覺。③要注意句型結構,注意 每句的重心和句與句之間的銜接,使句意一環扣一環,避免松散。
便條的寫作
便條是一種簡單的書信形式。要求學生仔細閱讀和分析所給的情景,確定便條所涉及的內容,如寫便條者與便條接收者的身份、兩者之間的關系及情景的正式程度等。便條的特點在于內容簡短,大多是臨時性的詢問、留言、通知、要求等。與正規書信相比,便條的語言更為口語化。有急事需告訴別人而又不能面談時,就可以寫便條,如請假條、留言條等。一般不寫地址,與普通書信基本相同。結尾時也無需要結尾禮詞,只需要寫上便條者姓名。便條的日期一般只要寫上星期幾,也可以寫明上午、下午的具體時間。便條具有用途廣泛、形式簡單、文字要求不十分嚴格的特點。
Should higher education be available to all students or only to good students? TOPIC:
Some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all students.Others believe that higher education should be available only to good students.Discuss these views.Which view do you agree with? Explain why.Some people believe that only good students should have access to a university education.Others posit that higher education should be open to everyone, regardless of their academic abilities.I agree with the former opinion.Universities should only allow good students into their programs because these students value the importance of a good education and are interested in furthering their education.Furthermore, if all students were allowed into universities, the schools would quickly become saturated, and the quality of education received would diminish.A university education is very important to a good student.This type of student has set his/her sights on a university education from early on, and has put in the necessary work to earn a place in a good university.Poor students who did not try to achieve good grades in high school obviously do not care about their education, and therefore, do not deserve to go to university.However, if these poor students go back to school and improve their grades, they should also be allowed to go to university.Good students are very interested in furthering their education.They have put copious amounts of work into their education, and are interested in learning more.Poor students are usually not as interested in furthering their education.If they were interested in this, they would have tried harder to begin with.With that said, let us suppose for a moment that universities did allow all students, regardless of their grades, into university.The school would quickly become overfull, and good students, who really care about their education, would suffer because of it.They might not be able to get into the classes they want, and if they do get in, there might be so many students in the class that it is impossible to learn.In conclusion, I think that it is important to save a university education for those who really want it-good students.If a poor student wishes to go to university, then he/she will have to return to high school and improve his/her grades.TOPIC: [命題作文欣賞] Should schools ask students to evaluate their teachers?
Schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers.Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Teachers have a very difficult job in society.They not only have to learn how to teach material effectively, but also must learn how to deal with a wide variety of personalities.While teaching is a difficult job, I think it is important for schools to ask students to evaluate their teachers.I think this is the right thing to do because it encourages teachers to try their best, it gives students the opportunity to choose effective teachers, and it allows the schools to have the best teachers possible teaching.If a teacher knows that at the end of the term, the students will be evaluating his/her work, then the teacher will be driven to do a very good job.If there is no pressure from evaluation, a teacher might be prone to doing a less than perfect job.I believe that everyone needs an occasional evaluation to ensure they are doing their job correctly.In the case of a teacher, the students will give the most important evaluations.If there was a public summary of which teacher scored the highest on his/her evaluations, then students would be able to take courses based on which teacher was the best at the job.This would allow students to excel in their studies, and achieve better grades.Finally, if schools ask students to evaluate their teachers, the schools themselves would be able to have the best teachers working on campus.If a teacher scored too low on an evaluation, a replacement could be found.This is a much better method than waiting for students to complain about a teacher.Teachers do have a difficult job, but regardless of this, they must excel at it.If a person is a particularly poor teacher, the students will not learn the required material, and suffer for it.

Dear Sir or Madam,I learned from Beijing Youth Daily Oct.2 that your company is offering a position for a secretary, and it's a great pleasure for me to write to explore the possibility of seeking the job.I graduated two years ago from Beijing University of Technology, and obtained a bachelor's degree in the field of business manage?ment.During my stay in the university my major courses included macro-economics, business communication skills, marketing and com?puter applications.I was especially fond of the communication skills which enabled me to deal with people and things around well.Upon graduation I engaged with HP China Branch as an assis?tant to the head of Marketing Department.My responsibilities consist?ed of carrying out market surveys, writing reports and organizing meet?ings within the department.This two-year experience has helped me a lot in many ways.In particular, I become
increasingly aware of the importance of co-ordination and co-operation among co-workers.I also believe the experience will qualify me for the current vacancy in your company.I passed both CET-4 and CET-6 with high marks.My spoken English is also fluent enough to organize meetings in English, which was actually my routine work in HP.Most of my market reports were presented in English, as my former boss is a native English speaker
I enclose herein my resume and some relevant documents as re?quired.And if you need any further information on me, I also refer you to Mr.Johnson, my ex-colleague, who is available at 021-66668888.I appreciate your sincere consideration of me, and am looking forward to an early interview with you.Sincerely yours,Wang Peng
