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.2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：求職信

3.我的看法。

Every year, college students are inspired to help students with their study in underdeveloped areas in china.They have been trying their best to impart knowledge and offering help to those students who are so eager to learn.This volunteer practice has been beneficial in two aspects.On one hand, college volunteers are really devoted to the cause.They have opened the eyes of students in underdeveloped regions to the outside world by bringing them new knowledge and thoughts.As a result, they are extremely welcome and respected by the children there.On the other hand, college students have received a rigorous training by adapting to the harsh living conditions.They are learning how to deal with difficulties and face challenges as well.What‘s more, by any means, this volunteer experience will be always a valuable asset in his or her life.In my opinion, every Chinese citizen is responsible for the development of education in china.And we college students should take the lead in response to the appeal for offering aid to children in poor areas.2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：當村官

2.分析形成這種現象的原因。

3.你的看法。

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年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：信函

Dear Dawei，I understand that you are in a dilemma.Although so many gradu?ates are eager to set feet on their work-life road, there are still some who prefer to start their new life after gaining another degree to make better preparation for entering society.In my opinion, the latter are more admirable.You are good at all your courses these years, so if you do like to spend another two or three years on cam?pus, you should stick to it.In today's society, the achievement and status you can get and the devotion you can make are no doubt in proportion to your educational background and degrees, coupled with the efforts you put in them.If you want to stride to your destina?tions more smoothly and easily, why not head for the further study courageously?

Whichever you choose, I firmly believe your industry will en?sure your success.After all, it is you who have the final say on the final choice.Best wishes.Yours sincerely Peter 0 2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：擇業

Choosing a Career

Outline: 1.擇業是每個青年人都要面臨的問題。2.擇業的標準是什么。3.我們應持的態度。

Choosing career is a problem that every youth must be faced.First of all, when a person has grown up, he has to decide which field he will go into so that he can earn enough money and support himself.Besides, with so many people rushing into the city from the coun?try, there are fewer and fewer job opportunities available and it is becoming increasingly difficult for one to find a suitable job.There are many factors to be considered when one is choosing a career.One factor is that a young man has to find a job that will bring him a good income for a comfortable life.Interest is another factor.The job should be interesting and motivating.Finally, one should find a job that suits his talent, so that he can make full use of his potential.But what preparations should a young man make in order to choose a good job? One must first of all be serious about this matter be?cause it will have an influence on his whole life.Then, to meet the requirements of demanding jobs, one needs to have certain qualifica?tions.It is therefore essential for him to acquire basic knowledge and skills.2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：就業難

It‘s very hard for college graduates to find a job, of course harder to get an ideal job.In fact, many factors contribute to the unfavorable situation.First, more and more students can go to college because of the being fast improved high education of China.As a result, there are more graduates every year.However, job vacancies don‘t increase that fast.More people, less food, which is the exact description of the hard condition.Second, more and more people go on to pursue their master and doctor degree;more and more Chinese oversea students come back to China to hunt better working chances.It is sure that the competition is more and more fierce.Third, because of the fast development of science, technology, economy, society and the interchange of different nations, all units have higher requirement of their employees, for example, stronger ability and higher degree.In addition to the factors above, there are still more which bring hardship for graduates to find jobs.Nevertheless, how to solve the problem is more important.It is a good idea for the graduates to learn more knowledge with a higher degree and to practice and improve their capability of dealing with all kinds of situation, organization, having good terms with others and cooperative spirit.Besides, the government should try to and encourage all units to create more job vacancies for the college graduates.Of course, the graduates should have a proper attitude towards various jobs, but not always pursue those with higher payment.2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：換工作

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? 2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：友誼

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.2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：請家教

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.2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：快餐

1.快餐在中國十分流行

3.我對快餐的看法

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.2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：收入差距

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.2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：住房問題

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.2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：校園

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

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

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

1.危機的作用

2.舉個例子說明 3.總結

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

2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：環保

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.2010年12月英語四級寫作話題預測：地震

Shopping through Media

With the development of science and technology, it is much more common for people to buy goods through different kinds of media than before.People can buy things such as computers and necklaces through TV, radio, the Internet, etc.Shopping through media is welcomed by most people due to various reasons.From the perspective of consumers, it can save time for people who don’t have much spare time.For retailers, it can cut costs for those without much circulating funds.However, there are still some defects in shopping through media.First, compared with face-to-face deal, it seems less reliable and trustworthy.Second, people will lose the fun of bargaining.In my view, although shopping via media brings great convenience to us, we still should be brings great convenience to us, we still should be careful when we “go shopping” through media.We should check the information released by the media.Only in this way can we fully enjoy the convenience brought by media shopping without the concern of being cheated.大學英語四級新題型翻譯2 【原文】

【參考譯文】

如果說我確實有所成就的話，那也只是因為我堅信不斷嘗試就會成功。

The only reason I’ve managed to accomplish anything isbecause I am a firm believer incontinuous improvement.分析：翻譯這個句子的時候，用了句式the only reason is...because，大家看到漢語“如果說......”可能會一下頭腦暈掉，不知道怎么來翻譯，但換一個方式，不用if等其它表示如果的單詞或詞組，也不失為一種迂回翻譯的好方法哦。

注意：

我堅信： I am a firm believer(漢語的動詞翻譯成英文成了“形容詞+名詞”的形式.)

遇到挫折時，你可以暫時把問題放一放，一味糾結不僅無濟于事，有時反倒使情況更糟。

If you fail insomething, distance from the event for a day or two, because agonizingover theproblem will not make it go away(and will make it a lot worse).分析：遇到挫折：fail insomething

暫時：for a day or two(for a day or two有時并不僅僅指一兩天，還可以表示暫時哦)

糾結：agonizing over theproblem

先去讀一本好書、見見久未謀面的好友或去戶外騎游一番;再回頭看待問題，你或許會感到柳暗花明。Read a goodbook, catch up with some friends you haven’t seen in a long time, or go onanature hike.You will be able to look at the issue with a fresh perspective.分析：柳暗花明：a fresh perspective(將漢語里的成語翻譯成英文，很多時候都找不到固定的英語翻譯，我們就可以根據意思，用自己熟悉的單詞或詞組來表示它的意思，只要保證意思不變就可以哦)

戶外騎游：go on anature hike

這樣做后，別忘了多加反省：“為什么這個方法會奏效?下次能不能做得更好呢?” After you have done that, ask yourself: “Why did this work out and how can Ido betternext time?” 分析：奏效：work out

看你定的是什么目標，這種方法可以被反復有效應用。如果你堅定不移地持續提升自己，最后成功肯定非你莫屬。孜孜不倦向來無敵。

This process very well could repeat itself several times depending on the nature of yourgoal, but if you keep making a firm commitment to continuously improve yourself, youwill develop so much that the only option left is success.Consistent hustle always wins.分析：最后這句翻譯，用but把漢語的兩個句子銜接起來，不失為一種極好的銜接方式。

而且大家注意下我已經標紅的very well could repeat，本來可以是could repeat very well，但verywell放到前面更地道，大家平時可以多看一些翻譯資料，多多積累，自然就會翻譯出地道的英文咯~

2010年12月英語四級寫作預測匯總（一下內容來源于考試吧）一.考公務員

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.二．.求職信

Volunteer teaching in the west

1.每年，高校許多大學生受到鼓舞去貧困地區支教。

2.支教活動的意義。

3.我的看法。

Every year, college students are inspired to help students with their study in underdeveloped areas in china.They have been trying their best to impart knowledge and offering help to those students who are so eager to learn.This volunteer practice has been beneficial in two aspects.On one hand, college volunteers are really devoted to the cause.They have opened the eyes of students in underdeveloped regions to the outside world by bringing them new knowledge and thoughts.As a result, they are extremely welcome and respected by the children there.On the other hand, college students have received a rigorous training by adapting to the harsh living conditions.They are learning how to deal with difficulties and face challenges as well.What’s more, by any means, this volunteer experience will be always a valuable asset in his or her life.In my opinion, every Chinese citizen is responsible for the development of education in china.And we college students should take the lead in response to the appeal for offering aid to children in poor areas.四．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.五、信函

Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter.Suppose you are Peter.Write a letter to your friend Li Dawei.You should write at least 120 words according to the situation given below in Chinese:

假設你的好朋友李大偉是大學四年級學生，正在考慮是考研究生繼續深造、還是大學畢業后就踏上工作崗位。請你給她寫封信表明你的態度。

Sample

June, 2003

Dear Dawei，I understand that you are in a dilemma.Although so many gradu?ates are eager to set feet on their work-life road, there are still some who prefer to start their new life after gaining another degree to make better preparation for entering society.In my opinion, the latter are more admirable.You are good at all your courses these years, so if you do like to spend another two or three years on cam?pus, you should stick to it.In today's society, the achievement and status you can get and the devotion you can make are no doubt in proportion to your educational background and degrees, coupled with the efforts you put in them.If you want to stride to your destina?tions more smoothly and easily, why not head for the further study courageously?

Whichever you choose, I firmly believe your industry will en?sure your success.After all, it is you who have the final say on the final choice.Best wishes.Yours sincerely Peter

六、擇業

Choosing a Career

Outline: 1.擇業是每個青年人都要面臨的問題。2.擇業的標準是什么。3.我們應持的態度。

Choosing career is a problem that every youth must be faced.First of all, when a person has grown up, he has to decide which field he will go into so that he can earn enough money and support himself.Besides, with so many people rushing into the city from the coun?try, there are fewer and fewer job opportunities available and it is becoming increasingly difficult for one to find a suitable job.There are many factors to be considered when one is choosing a career.One factor is that a young man has to find a job that will bring him a good income for a comfortable life.Interest is another factor.The job should be interesting and motivating.Finally, one should find a job that suits his talent, so that he can make full use of his potential.But what preparations should a young man make in order to choose a good job? One must first of all be serious about this matter be?cause it will have an influence on his whole life.Then, to meet the requirements of demanding jobs, one needs to have certain qualifica?tions.It is therefore essential for him to acquire basic knowledge and skills.七、就業難 Jobs for Graduates

1)大學生難找工作 2)原因很多 3)解決的辦法

Sample

It’s very hard for college graduates to find a job, of course harder to get an ideal job.In fact, many factors contribute to the unfavorable situation.First, more and more students can go to college because of the being fast improved high education of China.As a result, there are more graduates every year.However, job vacancies don’t increase that fast.More people, less food, which is the exact description of the hard condition.Second, more and more people go on to pursue their master and doctor degree;more and more Chinese oversea students come back to China to hunt better working chances.It is sure that the competition is more and more fierce.Third, because of the fast development of science, technology, economy, society and the interchange of different nations, all units have higher requirement of their employees, for example, stronger ability and higher degree.In addition to the factors above, there are still more which bring hardship for graduates to find jobs.Nevertheless, how to solve the problem is more important.It is a good idea for the graduates to learn more knowledge with a higher degree and to practice and improve their capability of dealing with all kinds of situation, organization, having good terms with others and cooperative spirit.Besides, the government should try to and encourage all units to create more job vacancies for the college graduates.Of course, the graduates should have a proper attitude towards various jobs, but not always pursue those with higher payment.八、換工作

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?

九、友誼 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.十、請家教

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.十一、快餐 Fast Food

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Fast Food.Your composition should be based on the Outline given below:

1.快餐在中國十分流行

2.快餐受歡迎的原因

3.我對快餐的看法

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.十二、收入差距

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.十三、住房問題

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.十四、校園

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.十五、環保

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

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.

九 To Be a small Fish in a Big Pond or a Big Fish in a Small Pond?

1.在大企業工作的特點

2.在小企業工作的特點

3.我的選擇

Just as there are distinct differences between being a small fish is a big pond and a big fish in a small pond, so it is with working as a subordinate in a large enterprise and presiding in a small firm.With the former, you can derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization such as General Motors, or the Bell Telephone System.You have the opportunities of learning from experienced executives and knowing about the standard working process.With the latter, you have greater responsibilities and your decision may bring immediate effect.Normally you are expose to various experiences and expected to do a great many thing without much help or guidance.Personally I prefer to work in a small enterprise, where my prospect of promotion is good as long as I work hard.To tell the truth , I'd rather become a well-known and important figure within my own small pond.十 Styles of Living

1.有些人愿意和父母居住在一起

2.有些人想自己獨立居住

3.我的看法

Some people enjoy living together with their parents after they have grown up.They hold the opinion because , living with parents , they can take better care of their parents and vice versa.Meanwhile , they can turn to their parents for help if they get into trouble or have some difficulties.To them, life in a big family seems to be more enjoyable than that in a small family.Others, however , prefer to live separately.They cherish the idea to be independent of their parents, seek more freedom and wish to have a place of their own, in which they can do what they like.Bedsides , they don't want to be overprotected by their parents but long for chance to face the society by themselves.As to me , I like an independent life style in spite of the fact I love my parents.Different generations have different life styles and values.What one generations likes may not be another generation's fondness.Living separately , each generation can enjoy different value.In addition , by leading an independent life , I can train my character and develop my own ability to deal with things encountered in my life.1.It is indisputable that(無可爭辯)there are millions of people who still have a miserable life and have to face the dangers of starvation and exposure.2 No one can deny the fact(沒有人能否認)that a person's education is the most important aspect of his life.3.In fact, we have to admit the fact(我們必須承認)that the quality of life is as important as life itself.4.This view is now by more and more people.(正受到越來越多人的質疑)5.The problem of international tourism has caused wide public concern over the recent years.(近些年引起了廣泛關注)

6.Despite many obvious advantages of bicycle, it is not without its problem.(但是它也存在它的問題)

7.There is a general debate on the campus today(校園里進行著廣泛的爭論)over the phenomenon of college or high school students' doing a part-time job.8.According to a recent survey, a growing number of people express a strong desire(根據調查，越來越多的人表達了一種強烈愿望)to take another job or spend more time on their job in order to get more money to support their family.9.There is a growing tendency(呈增長的勢頭)for parents to ask their extra educational programs over the recent years.10.Although rural emigrants contribute greatly to the economic growth of the cities, they may inevitably bring about many negative impacts.(然而他們也不可避免的帶來了一些負面影響)

81.Parents are firmly convinced that, to send their child to kindergartens or nursery schools will have an unfavorable influence on the growth of children.父母們堅定地相信把孩子送到幼兒園對他們的成長不利。

82.However, this idea is now being questioned by more and more experts, who point out that it is unhealthy for children who always stay with their parents at home.然而，這一想法正遭受越來越多的專家的質疑，他們指出，孩子總是呆在家里，和父母在一起，是不健康的。

83.Although parent would be able to devote much more time and energy to their children, it must be admitted that, parent has less experience and knowledge about how to educate and supervise children, when compared with professional teachers working in kindergartens or nursery schools.盡管父母能在他們孩子身上投入更多時間和精力，但是必須承認，與工作在幼兒園的專職教師相比，他們在如何管理教育孩子方面缺乏知識和經驗。

84.From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that, although the parents' desire to look after children by themselves is understandable, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.通過以上討論，我們可以得出如下結論：盡管家長想親自照看孩子的愿望是可以理解的，但是這樣做的缺點遠大于優點。

85.Parents should be encouraged to send their children to nursery schools, which will bring about profound impacts on children and families, and even the society as a whole.應該鼓勵父母將他們的孩子送到幼兒園，這將對孩子，家庭，甚至整個社會產生深遠的影響。

86.Many leaders of government always go into raptures at the mere mention of artistic and cultural projects.They are forever talking about the nice parks, the smart sculptures in central city and the art galleries with various valuable rarities.Nothing, they maintain, is more essential than such projects in the economic growth.只要一提起藝術和文化項目，一些政府領導就會興奮不已，他們滔滔不絕地說著美麗的公園，城市中心漂亮的雕塑，還有滿是稀世珍寶的藝術展覽館。他們認為在經濟發展中，沒有什么比這些藝術項目更重要了。

87.But is it really the case? The information I've collected over last few years leads me to believe that artistic and cultural projects may be less useful than many governments think.In fact, basic infrastructure projects are playing extremely important role and should be given priority.這是真的嗎？這些年我收集的信息讓我相信這些文化、藝術項目并沒有許多政府想象的那么重要。事實上，基礎設施建設非常重要，應該放在首位。

88.Those who are in favor of artistic and cultural projects advocate that cultural environment will attract more tourists, which will bring huge profits to local residents.Some people even equate the build of such projects with the improving of economic construction.那些贊成建設文化藝術項目的人認為文化環境會吸引更多的游客，這將給當地居民帶來巨大的利益。一些人甚至把建設文化藝術項目與發展經濟建設等同起來。

89.Unfortunately, there is very few evidence that big companies are willing to invest a huge sums of money in a place without sufficient basic projects, such as supplies of electricity and water.然而，很少有證據表明大公司愿意把巨額的資金投到一個連水電這些基礎設施都不完善的地方去。

90.From what has been discussed above, it would be reasonable to believe that basic projects play far more important role than artistic and cultural projects in people's life and economic growth.通過以上討論，我們有理由相信在人們的生活和經濟發展方面，基礎建設比藝術文化項目發揮更大的作用。

2010年12月英語四級經典范文：學習一生的事業

就像植物需要陽光，我們對知識充滿了渴求。學習伴隨我們成長，讓我們感到充實，讓我們更加了解生活，讓我們能夠用所學去幫助別人。你的學習旅程是怎樣的?

Learning: a Lifelong Career As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.①Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.② Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and reliable warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world changing so fast, to cease learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What’ s worse, the animal instinct dormant deep in our sub-conscious will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideas, undermining our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization.③ Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.[224 words] 作文點評

本文首先從正面論證主題，首句點題，并通過對首句的解釋進一步說明終生學習的意義。之后作者結合時代變化的特征，用the surest way以及reliable warrant說明了持續學習的現實意義。第二段作者從反面來論證自己的觀點，說明停止學習會導致的嚴重后果。最后用therefore引出全文的結束語，再次重申觀點，并與文章題目相呼應。

本文開篇引用As...is to..., so is...to...的經典句型開門見山，將學習對心智的重要性比作食物對身體的重要性，生動形象。行文流暢，并能結合時代特征;首尾呼應，畫龍點睛。好文妙譯 學習：一生的事業

學習之于心智，就像食物之于身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發達。同樣地，我們應該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們心智的敏銳，并增長我們的智力。不斷的學習像是為我們的前進提供了用之不盡的能量，驅使我們磨礪自身推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續的學習是在信息時代中與時俱進的最穩妥的方法，也是在無常變化的時代中求得成功的可靠保證。

一旦學習停止，單調貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的惟一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反，從生到死，學習應該是一種無終止的歷程。由于世界變化日新月異，學習過程停頓幾天，就會使人落后。而更為糟糕的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的動物本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高尚理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，并且扼殺我們凈化自身人格的追求。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心智的停滯，甚至更糟，使其僵化。因此，為了保持青春永駐，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業。
