第二部分 写作
写作导学
一、四级写作透视
(一)写作命题方向
1.命题形式
四级写作的命题形式,在2012年12月考次之前,一直是以“英文Directions+中文提纲”的形式为主,偶尔会出现“英文Directions+中文提纲+图表”的形式,但自从2012年12月考次以后,四级写作开始变为只有英文Directions而无中文提纲的命题形式。
从近几次的四级真题来看,这种命题形式主要有四个类型:第一类是哲言命题,英文指示(Directions)中会给出一句能体现出主题的格言或警句或是类似的哲理性话语,要求考生从一定的角度进行分析评论,指示中可能会给出标题,也可能不给,需要考生自拟。第二类是图画或图表命题,命题中给出一个图画或图表,图画中一般会带有一些提示性语言,图表中会提供数据,英文指示(Directions)中则会要求结合图画或图表内容从一定的角度进行分析评论,与第一类命题一样,指示中可能会给出标题,也可能不给,需要考生自拟。第三类是情景式命题,除了英文指示(Directions)以外,命题中会给出简单的情景,要求考生根据该情景进行写作,这种命题经常会带有一定的应用文性质。第四类是单纯的英文Directions命题,Directions中会给出主题和简单的要求,这类命题往往开放性较强,对内容和形式的限定比较宽泛,考生发挥的余地较大。
例1(2014年12月(1)
Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay about a campus activity that has benefited you most.You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but no more than 180words.
分析:本题为单纯的英文Directions命题,要求记述一次让自己受益最大的校园活动,含有记叙文的性质,内容开放性较强,考生可根据自己的经历和情况自由发挥。
例2(2013年12月(1))
Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below.You should start your essay with a brief account of the impact of the Internet on the way people communicate and then explain whether electronic communication can replace face-to-face contact.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

“Dear Andy—How are you?Your mother and I are fine.We both miss you and hope you are doing well.We look forward to seeing you again the next time your computer crashes and you come downstairs for something to eat.Love,Mom and Dad.”
分析:本题属于图画命题形式(英文Directions+图画),命题中给出一幅图画,要求考生简要描述图画,并分析图画中所反映的现象。
例3(2015年12月(2))
Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying“Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission.”You can cite examples to illustrate the importance of lifelong learning.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
分析:本题属于哲言命题形式(英文Directions中含哲言),命题指示中给出一句哲言,要求对该哲言进行评论,举例证明该哲言中蕴含的道理。
2.题材及体裁
从题材上来看,四级作文主要涉及三个方面的话题:一是与学生学习、生活相关的话题,如2013年6月四级试题(2)的作文主题是关于“学习基本技能的重要性”;二是与人们生活息息相关和有关社会发展变化的热点话题,如2013年12月四级试题(1)的作文主题是关于“互联网对人们交流方式的影响”;三是关于人生哲理以及做人做事道理等方面的话题,如2015年12月四级试题(3)的作文主题是关于“倾听的重要性”。
从体裁上来看,四级作文基本都是短小的论说文,主要包括说明现象类、对策方法类、对比分析类以及道理阐释类;有时还会考查叙事类作文和应用文,其可能会涉及议论和说明的内容。
以下是2006年实施710分新题型以来四级作文真题的题材和类型统计:

(二)写作评分标准
大学英语四级考试大纲规定,四级写作部分所占分值比例为15%,标准分满分为106.5。阅卷评分时按照满分15分计算,最后,再换算成标准分。评分标准共分五个等级:2分、5分、8分、11分和14分。
阅卷人员根据阅卷标准对照样卷进行评分,先就总体印象划定作文等级,然后根据具体情况对分数进行适当调整。若认为与某一分数等级相似,即定为该分数,若阅卷过程中发现该作文稍优或稍劣于该分数,则可加1分或减1分。
在总体作文评分原则的指导下,四级作文的评分强调5项标准,即内容切题、表达清楚、文字连贯、句式多变和语言规范。各分数档的具体评判标准如下:
2分——条理不清,思路混乱,语言不连贯或大部分句子均有错误,且多数为严重错误。
5分——基本切题,表达思想不清楚,连贯性差,有较多的严重语言错误。
8分——基本切题,有些地方表达思想不够清楚,文字勉强连贯,语言错误相当多,其中有一些是严重错误。
11分——切题,表达思想清楚,文字连贯,但有少量语言错误。
14分——切题,表达思想清楚,文字通顺、连贯,基本上无语言错误,仅有个别小错。
(三)写作基本步骤
四级作文尽管结构并不复杂,但考生仍然需要遵照写作的基本步骤,这样才能避免出现思路不畅、衔接不当、偏题等问题。
第1步:确定各段主题
为了确保作文结构的完整性和紧密性,我们一般建议采用三段式。2012年12月考次以前,命题中大都会给出2~3点中文提纲,这对确定各段主题有很大的提示作用。但近两年的考试中,命题中不再有中文提纲及其他中文提示,而是会给出英文指示和图画或图表,这就给考生确定文章结构和段落主题增加了难度。考生需要结合指示内容或是图画、图表进行分析,从而理清写作思路,确定段落结构和各段主题。
第2步:列出各段提纲
确定各段主题以后,不要匆忙动笔,应该在草稿纸或心中将各段要写的内容大致列出,做到心中有数,这样才能行文流畅,衔接自然。
例(2012年12月)
Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Education Pays based on the statistics provided in the chart below(Weekly earnings of 2010).Please give a brief description of the chart first and then make comments on it.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
Education: A Worthy Investment Weekly Earnings in 2010($)

Source U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics
第一段主题及提纲:描述图表中所反应的现象——概述图表内容;具体描述图表数据;总结图表现象,即“学历越高,收入越高”。
第二段主题:简要分析导致该现象的原因——社会发展的必然;新兴行业需要高级人才。
第三段主题:谈谈自己对该现象的看法——让人欣喜的现象,说明教育会得到回报。
第3步:逐一展开段落
一般来说,段落的基本构成包括:主题句、扩展句和结尾句。
主题句只有一句,要具有概括性,要表述清楚、简单明了,注意不可过长。扩展句是主题句内容的延伸和语意的补充,起到进一步阐述主题句、扩展段落中心思想的作用,因此一般都要在两句以上。结尾句也只有一句,主要用来总结段落的主要内容或得出结论,通常和段落主题句在意义上相互呼应。
需要注意的是,并不是每个段落都必须同时包含主题句、扩展句和结尾句,段落主题句与结尾句可以只有一个。
例(2012年12月)
第一段
①The above bar chart shows us the earnings among people with different educational levels.②In 2010,people possessing a doctoral degree have the highest weekly earnings of$1,550,and those possessing a bachelor’s or master’s degree both more than$1,000,while those without a degree or with a lower diploma only earn$712 or less.③It can be seen clearly that the higher one’s diploma is,the higher his earnings.
第二段
①This phenomenon,in my opinion,embo-dies the inevitability of social development.②With the advancement of technology and the adjustment of industrial structure,quite a few high-tech industries emerge overnight,which brings a soaring demand for the workforces with good educational background,and naturally better earnings for them.③In contrast,the ill-educated,lacking necessary knowledge and technology,only can do those easy jobs which pay not very well.
第一段
第1句:主题句——概述图表内容:不同教育水平人群的收入情况。
第2句:扩展句——具体
第2句:描述图表数据。
第3句:结尾句——总结图表现象:学历越高,收入越高。
第二段
第1句:主题句——该现象是社会发展必然性的体现。
第2句:扩展句——具体阐述这种必然性。
第3句:扩展句——进一步阐述这种必然性。
第三段
①I think this is an inspiring phenomenon and shows education is a worthy investment.②Despite the increasing costs,we should believe it pays to spend time and money on education.③Remem-ber,knowledge is power;knowledge is wealth.
第三段
第1句:主题句——总体评价该现象:令人欣喜,说明教育值得投资。
第2句:扩展句——进一步阐述自己的看法。
第3句:结尾句——知识就是力量,知识就是财富。
第4步:通读全文检查
对于这一步,很多考生都会因为时间紧张而忽略,其实,花上1~2分钟的时间通读一遍全文,通常可以避免拼写、语法和句子结构方面的小错误,而这些看似很小的错误,很多时候会对作文分数等级的评定产生很大的影响。

④The increasing use of mobile phones has brought great influence on people’s life.⑤On the one hand,they make our life and work more convenient and efficient.The popularity of mobile phones symbolizes the progress of our society.⑥On the other hand,it also poses some serious problems.⑦More and more people immerse themselves in mobile phones,always with their heads low,even when walking,just like those in the picture.They ignore the surroundings around them and communicate less with others.

参考范文
练习一
Virtual Community
From the cartoon,we can see that a child is playing happily with his virtual computer friends.This cartoon describes vividly the phenomenon that young people are addicted to virtual network communities.They enjoy doing all kinds of activities in virtual communities such as keeping pets,planting vegetables,making a living,and even getting married.
The reasons for this phenomenon are varied.Among all these reasons,high pressure facing modern people plays a critical role.Virtual network communities provide people a good place to escape from the real problems temporarily.What’s more,in network communities people can experience many things they cannot do in real life and have many different lifestyles.Besides,network communities give people more chance to communicate with others and people can make more friends with common interests.
From my point of view,a network community does bring us much fun and relaxation.However,after all,it is a virtual world.If one is immersed in it too much,it might influence his real life.Therefore,I think we should look for more entertainment in our real life instead of putting ourselves in network communities all day.
练习二
Traditional Operas Are Gaining Revival on Campus
In recent years,traditional Chinese operas are gaining revival among young people.There are more young fans for Peking Opera and other local operas.They enjoy singing and talking about traditional operas.The websites and magazines on traditional operas have become more popular.
There are the following reasons behind this phenomenon.Among them,more publicity and education plays a critical role.More and more lectures and performances on traditional operas begin to go into campus,which provides young students with more chances to know the unique charm of traditional operas.Besides,nowadays traditional operas are put into some modern elements,like colorful stage designs and elaborate costumes,which is more appealing to young people.
As to me,it is no doubt that the development of Chinese traditional operas is of very significance.But nowadays most young people,surrounded by pop culture,cannot accept traditional operas in a short time.Therefore,we should take more effective measures to encourage young people to take up Chinese traditional arts.

参考范文

练习一
How to Build an Ideal Teacher-student Relationship
The relationship between a teacher and a student is very important to both teachers and students.A good teacher-student relationship will make learning enjoyable and efficient as well as make the teacher’s job worthwhile.In contrast,a bad relationship will discourage the students from learning and make teaching an unpleasant task.
But how to build an ideal teacher-student relationship?First of all,teacher and student should respect each other,which is the precondition of good relationship.Moreover,the teacher’s attitude plays an important role.If the teacher is too strict,he might frighten the student;if the teacher is too permissive,the student may become lazy.As for the student,he should be eager for knowledge and willing to work hard.If he learns from his teacher modestly,he will be able to profit fully from his teacher’s teaching.
In conclusion,a good teacher-student relationship needs common efforts from both the teacher and the student.And it can be mutually beneficial.The student gains knowledge eagerly and enjoyably,and the teacher gains satisfaction from his teaching job.
练习二
How to Eliminate Fake Diplomas
The picture reflects vividly the phenomenon that some people use fake diplomas in the job market.Many people have been defeated unfairly by their rivals with fake diplomas but no real abilities,just like the man in the picture.Besides,many illegal dealers make profits by selling fake diplomas.It is high time that we figured out how to fight against fake diplomas.
The following ways can be adopted to eliminate fake diplomas.Firstly,companies can keep detailed information of the diploma and then check its validity with the help of Certificate Authority.Secondly,those who use fake diplomas should be punished severely.Thirdly,companies and other official departments should give more weight to the candidates’competence rather than their diplomas.
As far as I am concerned,fake diplomas is difficult to be eliminated in a short time.With the development of technology,it’s harder to identify fake certificates.Therefore,greater attention and efforts should be paid to the cause of fighting against fake diplomas.

Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?
①When it comes to whether the university campus should be open to tourists,there is no complete agreement among people.②Some people think that university campus should welcome the visiting of tourists.③They say that being closed to tourists may make students isolated from the outside world.④Also,they maintain refusing tourists to violate the spirit of openness.

⑧Weighing up these two arguments,I think a university should be an open place.⑨By visiting the university campus,tourists can feel the rich cultural atmosphere.⑩In addition,college students can have more chance to contact the people and the world outside the campus.⑪ Therefore,the university campus should be ready to embrace the tourists all over the world.

练习一
Is a Good Marriage More Important than a Good Job for a Woman College Student?
Nowadays,college students,especially women students are facing the increasingly severe employment situation.Some women college students begin to believe that it is more useful to get a good marriage than to get a good job,while others treat this thought with contempt.As to me,I am in favor of the latter opinion.
Of course,a good marriage can help a woman college student release employment pressure.Also,with a good marriage,a woman might enjoy high-quality material life without paying many efforts.But it doesn’t mean that a good marriage can ensure a real permanent happiness.
In my view,our happiness and the realization of our ideal should depend on individual struggle.Anyone,especially a woman,can not hang about on others,and marriage should not be regarded as a shortcut to happiness.A good example to illustrate is the higher divorce rate in recent years.Besides,happiness obtained by individual efforts a struggle is real happiness.To conclude,modern women should be the architects of their own fate.
练习二
Should Text Books Be Recycled?
Nowadays there is a heated debate as to whether text books should be recycled.It is no doubt that recycling books brings about many advantages.Above all,recycling textbooks can reduce waste.Thus,we can leave more resources to the next generation.Furthermore,students can buy the recycled textbooks at a low price,which means less stress on those relatively less rich parents.
As every coin has two sides,recycling textbooks has also some disadvantages.For one thing,some of the recycled textbooks are very dirty,so parents worry that a health danger may exist in the recycled textbooks.For another,notes on the recycled textbooks may disturb the next user and draw the user’s attention away from the textbooks.
Weighing the advantages and disadvantages,I think textbooks should be recycled under some conditions.Undoubtedly,many people would be in favor of the recycled textbooks if the quality of these textbooks can be guaranteed.But it is worth noting that costs related to the recycling of textbooks should be controlled in an acceptable range.

例(2011年12月)
Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will by commenting on the humorous saying,“Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world.I’ve done it hundreds of times.”You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
参考范文
Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
①You might hear the humorous saying“Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world.I’ve done it hundreds of times.”②This is close to suggest that nothing succeeds without a strong will.③The truth of it is meaningful and instructive,especially to modern young people.
④There are numerous examples supporting this argument.⑤A case in point is quitting smoking.⑥Many people have more than one attempt to quit smoking,but they might smoke again after a short time of quitting.From this example,we can learn if one’s will is weak,no matter how many times he tries,he might fail in the end.⑦For another example,Edison invented the light bulb after hundreds of failures.⑧It was just a strong will that helped him make the final success.
⑨As for students like us,a strong will is of course very important.⑩If we give up easily when meeting difficulties,we’ll never make any achievements.(11)It is necessary for us to keep the saying in mind“Where there is a will,there is a way”.

练习二
Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Importance of Preparation to Success by commenting on Abraham Lincoln’s famous remark,“Give me six hours to chop down a tree,and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
练习一
Silence Is Not Always Gold
Nowadays there are still many people who take“silence is gold”as a doctrine.They believe silence shows one’s intelligence and inner beauty,and can reduce the possibility of being involved in troubles.However,indeed,in many cases,silence is not gold,especially in modern society.The following reasons can support the argument.
Undoubtedly,when our lawful rights and interests are invaded,we should not keep silence.At this time,what we should do is to open our mouth to protect ourselves.Moreover,under the increasingly fierce social competition,everyone must learn to show himself.If you always wait in silence,the chances will not come to you automatically.In addition,in face of the immoral and illegal behaviors,your silence is timidity and selfishness.
All mentioned above tell us that silence is not always gold.Instead,sometimes silence not only can not help us but brings a negative effect.Therefore,we should decide when and whether to keep silence according to the special circumstances.
练习二
The Importance of Preparation to Success
A great man ever said,“Give me six hours to chop down a tree,and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”This saying tells us it is quite necessary to make full preparation before taking an action.The truth of it is deep and profound.
There are numerous examples supporting this argument.A case in point is an athlete.Without adequate preparation,an athlete couldn’t become a champion.Before every race,he or she must go through hard training of a long time and make good preparation physically and psychologically.For another example,preparation also plays an important role in hunting a job.Before having an interview,the interviewee needs to know as much information about the company as possible.Finally,as far as the students are concerned,good preparation is absolutely necessary for them to get good results in the exams.
All the above-mentioned tell us that good preparation is the way to success.Therefore,all of us should keep Lincoln’s remark in our minds,and be well prepared before doing everything.Only in this way can we have greater chances to make success.

Thanks and Congratulations to My Friend
The birthday of Cao Xiao,my best friend,will come soon.There is no more appropriate time than this for us to express our love and good wishes to her.So taking this good chance,I want to show my gratitude towards her for her long-time care and understanding.
Now I still remember clearly that experience of illness.It happened in our freshman year,when we had just entered into college for not a long time.I was in hospital because of suffering from an infectious disease.Being worried about being infected,my classmates would not like to go to the hospital to see me.However,Caoxiao volunteered to care about me almost everyday until I recovered completely,which made me feel deep love and concern from a friend.
Every time I remind this and all love she gave,I can understand the real meaning of friendship.I will cherish our friendship all the time.Furthermore,I will,like her,show my care and love to every friend of mine.I believe the word“A friend in need is a friend indeed”.
练习二
An Eye-witness Account of a Robbery
I am Li Ming,a college student.A week ago I witnessed a robbery on the street.The crime was so reckless and rampant that I was left a deep impression.
It was at about 5 P.M.,June 15th,when I was walking in a lonely road with few pedestrians around.Suddenly I heard a shout,“Freeze!Return my bag!”I found that a young boy was running ahead,and an old woman was exerting to chase him.Obviously it was a robbery.A few people stopped to watch,but nobody would like to help that old woman.As a result,soon the robber disappeared from our view.
Many factors contributed to the happening of this robbery.The robber’s low moral quality and legal consciousness was certainly the main one.But in my opinion,it was more because most people were too indifferent to the crime.If at that time the watchers had lent a hand,I believe,the robber could not have escaped.Therefore,it is high time that we united together to fight against the crimes.

Dear President,
My name is Li Ming.I am a junior from the Civil Engineering School.I venture to write you a letter to make a complaint about the canteen service of our school.
The focus of the complaint is the poor quality and high price of the food.On one hand,the rice is very hard,the steam bread is often cold,and the vegetables are always overcooked.On the other hand,the price of the food is so high that many poor students are burdened heavily.Under these circumstances,I find it impossible for us students to fully concentrate on the study and enjoy the campus life.
I will be very obliged if you can consider my complaint seriously.I do hope the service of the canteen will be much improved as soon as possible.Thank you for your time and kind consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

This has been a difficult decision for me,but I have to do this.On one hand,I have accepted another job offer before you informed me your decision,which is more in line with my skills and career goals.On the other hand,two hours’commute to your building is really a burden on me.On account of all these,you can understand why I could not accept your offer.
I hope this does not cause you too much inconvenience.Anyway,I do appreciate your kindness to discuss the details of the position with me and give me time to consider your offer.Meanwhile,I wish that your company would find a more suitable talent as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours,
Jane

Dear John,
I am very glad to know that you are going to apply for admission to our university.Here I will try to give you some suggestions about your application.In my opinion,English major is a good choice.On one hand,that is the subject you have been good at and interested in.On the other hand,our English department has excellent teachers and modern teaching facilities.
As to the requirements for applying for the English major,I would like to suggest that you pay more attention to spoken English.If you don’t make a good performance in oral test,you maybe have to choose another major.A good mental state would be necessary if you want to leave a good impression on the examiners.In addition,you should do more model tests when making preparation for the test.I am sure you will succeed in the exam if you follow my advice.
Please inform me if there is something else I can do for you.I am looking forward to meeting you on our campus.
Sincerely yours,

A Complaint Letter to the Manager
May 28,2011
Dear Manager,
I am a college student from Peking University.I venture to write you a letter about your bad service.
The focus of the complaint is the impatience of your shop-assistant whose badge number was 15.For one thing,the assistant turned a deaf ear to our request and walked away.For another,she murmured in a sarcastic manner that my friend was foolish in making such a request.Under these circumstances,I found it so unbearable to face such an awkward situation.Honestly speaking,the products in your shop are of good quality.But you should make great efforts to look into your service and take steps to prevent a similar recurrence of such offensive behavior in the future.All in all,there is still much room for improvement.
I do hope you can pay great attention to my complaints.Thank you for your time and kind consideration.
Sincerely yours,

框架搭建:由图画和题目要求可知,本文应为一篇对策方法类作文,其基本的段落安排如下:第一段由图画引出信息安全问题并描述其主要表现;第二段说明信息安全事故可能导致的危害;第三段说明应该如何解决信息安全问题。
Information Security
The purpose of the picture is to show us the problem of information security.With our stepping into information society,computer crimes keep rising and information security incidents occur frequently.The hackers like the man in the picture emerge on the Internet in an endless stream.
It is very clear that information security incidents are bringing great harm to the victims,including government departments,organizations,institutions and individuals.First of all,government may suffer from national security threats.With the help of computers and the Internet,spies and some weak-minded officials can disclose state secrets via more advanced skills.Furthermore,companies may lose important trade secrets;the public’s and users’confidence will be damaged.
Considering seriousness of the problem,we should pay more attention to in-formation security.Firstly,technology plays a vital role in solving this problem.Since no system can ever be absolutely safe,both prevention and detection tech-niques are necessary to information security management.Finally,organizations and companies should promote the awareness on information security to its staff.Only in this way can information security be guaranteed.

Network Literature
From the picture,we can see a man who is writing on the Internet.Nowadays there are many web writers like him.With the widespread of Internet,network literature,as a new literature form,has gained much popularity.
Compared with traditional literature,network literature has many advantages.Above all,it is easier to become popular,whether in terms of its form or its contents.In addition,with Internet as its media,network literature has a stronger expressive force and a quicker spreading.
As every coin has two sides,network literature has also some disadvantages.For one thing,the creation of network literature goes towards fawning on common, of which we can find limited classic ones.For another,the administration and supervision on network literature are still not very sound and effective.
Weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of network literature,I think it is a beneficial supplement to traditional literature.Undoubtedly,Internet,as the media of network literature,provides a wider space for spreading and developing literature.But it is worth noting that many network literature works are written in a rough way.Therefore,people should have a good selection when reading literature works on line.

Rush for Postgraduate Study
According to the table,it is clear that there is a sharp increase in number of postgraduate candidates in X Province from 2000 to 2008.In 2000,there were only 1,600 candidates participating in the exam.However,2 years later,the number increased to 5,600,and by 2008 it has reached 52,000.
There are many reasons accounting for the great change.Firstly,the tough competition in the job market is an important one.The enrollment expansion of universities places a great pressure on the job market,which stimulates many students to turn to further education.Secondly,many students with equivalent education background to college graduates are allowed to apply for postgraduate study.Finally,the society has a greater demand for the postgraduates with the economic development.
As far as I am concerned,college students should take full account before deciding to further their education.For one thing,postgraduate study does not necessarily ensure a bright future.For another,it’s a tough process to prepare for the exam for postgraduate study and not everyone can stick it out.
Test 4
框架搭建:由标题和题目内容可知,本文应为一篇道理阐释类作文,其基本的段落安排如下:第一段解释“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”这一谚语包含的道理;第二段论证其中的道理;第三段重申该谚语中的道理,提出建议或期望。
Act Early
The proverb“Early bird catches the worm”has been generally accepted.It tells us that if you act early or before anyone else,you will have an advantage and be successful.The truth of it is self-evident.
There are numerous examples supporting this argument.A case in point is that students usually make two to three years’preparation before their overseas study.This is close to suggest an early preparation increases the possibility of success.For another example,DHL,an express company,was the first company in its field to extend its business to China.The proverb“Early bird catches the worm”works on DHL which now holds a larger market share.
Judging from the evidence offered,we might safely draw the conclusion that the earlier one takes action,the more chances one will succeed.But what is worth noting is that we should set a correct goal before our early preparation.To conclude,we should take the idiom“Early bird catches the worm”as our guidance in the daily life and work.

Talent-search Show on Campus
In recent years,there has been a talent-search craze on college campus.Various talent-search shows,like“Campus Superstar Competition”,“Happy Boy”,have emerged one after another on campus.Moreover,these activities are almost the copies of those social talent shows from the form to the contents.
As everyone sees,talent shows are bringing great influence on college students.Above all,these activities enrich students’after-class life and provide a good stage for students to show themselves.Also,by attending these activities,college students can improve their abilities in social communication.However,talent shows have brought some negative effects.For instance,most activities have monotonous form and lack creativity,which influence to some degree the whole culture atmosphere on campus.
From my point of view,college students need cultural and amusement activities like talent shows,but the overall quality of these activities should be improved.The activity organizers should increase the activity feature and take full account.With the improvement in quality,I believe,talent shows will go on playing an important role in college students’life.

An Apology Letter
July 5,2011
Dear brother,
I am excessively sorry that I can’t attend your graduation ceremony as I have promised.Now,I am writing you this letter to show my deep regret.Please accept my sincere apology with gratitude.I hope you will understand me and excuse me for my being absent.
I will be very grateful if you are kind enough to listen to my explanation.The reason why I can’t attend your graduation ceremony is that I have already been arranged to attend a meeting next week in Nanjing.I have no way out because the things I have to do are of great importance to my company.Therefore,it’s not in my power to comply with your request.
Naturally,I would like to show my apology in person next month.I shall be obliged if you will kindly write and tell me when and where you will meet me next month.Once again,I would like to express my sincere apology for any inconvenience caused.Hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation.

框架搭建:由题目要求可知,本文应为一篇叙事类作文,其基本的段落安排如下:第一段描述吵架的背景,引出吵架当天的情景;第二段具体叙述吵架的原因、经过及结果;第三段谈谈个人感受以及从这次吵架中吸取的教训。
A Quarrel I witnessed
Weeks ago,I witnessed a quarrel between my two roommates.It shocked me that two good friends fell out just for a very trifling matter.
It was in the morning at a weekend,when I was washing my face in the bathroom.Suddenly I heard Xu Lan and Wu Xin shouting at each other.I hurried to come out to see what happened.It turned out that the noise of Wu Xin’s closing the door waked Xu Lan.Xu Lan thought Wu Xin deliberately closed the door heavily.Wu Xin didn’t admit her fault.So they had a bitter quarrel.Though later they stopped quarreling under our persuasion,neither of them would like to apologize.
Such a quarrel leaves me to think a lot about dormitory harmony.If either Xu Lan or Wu Xin can be a little tolerant or take a better way to express herself,this quarrel,I think,can be avoided easily.It is no doubt that a harmonious dormitory life benefits all the members,but it needs our common efforts to build it.
Test 8
框架搭建:由题目要求可知,本文应为一篇对比分析类作文,其基本的段落安排如下:第一段引出应对流言蜚语的两种方式:申辩和保持沉默;第二段对比阐述两种方法各自的理由;第三段表明自己更倾向于哪种方法并说明理由。
Explain or Keep Silence?
Nowadays,it is very difficult to avoid rumors and slanders completely,espe-cially to those celebrities.Some people maintain that when one suffers from rumors,he should come out to make explanation and defense for himself,while others argue that the best way is to keep silence.As to me,I am in favor of the former opinion.
Of course,sometimes silence can help reduce people’s interest in rumors.Also,after a period of time,rumors might disappear naturally in the face of the truth.But it is worth noting that in most cases,silence doesn’t work in getting rid of rumors but increase people’s uncertainty and suspicion.
From my point of view,facing rumors,one should stand up bravely to defend himself rather than say nothing to them.The following reasons can support my argument.First,it is your explanation that helps others learn the truth.Second,rumors often go round very quickly,and your silence will foster its further spread.

练习一
Losing Weight
第一段:概述现象段
Nowadays,more and more people,especially young females,are trying to lose unwanted weight.The number of people taking part in all kinds of fat farms or fitness clubs has been on the rise in recent years.Besides,more and more people are joining the army of being on diet.In order to keep fit,many young girls eat only one meal every day,and some even do not eat anything.
第二段:说明原因段
There are three main reasons behind this craze in losing weight.Firstly,as we see,most young people,especially women,want to have a better figure.They try to lose weight to look more beautiful.Secondly,quite a few people want to reduce excessive fat for their health since obesity is often very harmful to health.Thirdly,still some people are out of consideration for work reguirements,the majority of whom are actors and actresses.In order to meet the role requirements,sometimes they have to lose much weight in a short time.
第三段:说明害处段
However,dieting might bring great negative effects on people.For one thing,quite a lot of people don’t really need dieting to keep healthy,and they diet just because they want to keep slim.For them,dieting not only is useless but also might damage their health.For another,some people lack enough knowledge on how to diet scientifically.As a result,they are likely to suffer from malnutrition.Considering the serious damage of unhealthy dieting,we need professional guidance in dieting.
练习二
Changes in the Ownership of Houses
第一段:描写图表段
According to the chart,we can see clearly that in the past decade the ownership of houses in this city has changed greatly.In 1995,the proportion of state-owned houses is far higher than that of private houses,taking up respectively 75%and 25%.However,5 years later,the proportion of private-owned houses rose to 40%,and by 2000,it has reached 80%.It is obvious that more and more individuals have owned their private houses.
第二段:说明原因段
The following three reasons can account for the rapid growth of private housing ownership.Firstly,state subsidies for public housing are gradually eliminated.That is to say,without the housing subsidy,people are encouraged to buy their own private houses.Secondly,with the rapid development of economy,people’s income has risen significantly.Thirdly,various forms of mortgage loans with reasonable interest permit people to improve their housing condition in advance.As a result,people gradually have a strong desire to own a house of their own.
第三段:说明影响段
The change of the ownership of houses exerts a positive influence on the society.For one thing,this market-driven housing policy can lead to better resource allocation.For another,since more and more citizens are using mortgage and installments to buy their apartments,they form a new industry,broad the business of banks,and promote the whole economy.

3.“我”的看法。参考范文
练习一
The Importance of Economy
第一段:提出观点段
The saying“The love of economy is the root of all virtue.”shows the importance of economy.The truth of it is deep and profound.Indeed,whether in the past or at present,economy is praiseworthy and should be popularized in our society.
第二段:论证观点段
There are many reasons supporting this argument.As we know,it was just the virtue of economy that helped our country to get through the difficult periods in the days of founding of the new China.In modern society,though our economic level has been improved greatly,our rapid development to a great extent is at the cost of the overdue consumption of material resources.Besides,our country has a large population base,and our per-capita average of natural resources is low.Therefore,economy is still a necessity to our country.
第三段:总结观点段
We,as college students,should take our responsibility and learn to be economical in our daily life.Indeed,in terms of our clothing,food,sheltering,and transport,much work can be done to save valuable energy and natural resources such as power,water,coal,gas.What’s more,we should put paper and second-hand textbooks into wise use.In sum,our daily life should be permeated with the sense of economy.Only in this way can we create a conservation-oriented society as soon as possible. 练习二
Internet or Newspapers?
第一段:提出观点段
When it comes to what is the better way to get the daily news,there is no complete agreement among people.Some people take it for granted that internet has become their main source of daily news.However,others maintain that newspapers should be regarded as a better source.
第二段:对比论证段
Those people who hold the first opinion believe internet news can vividly bring dramatic events of singular importance before our eyes.In addition,they can actively search for the information they want.However,still others do not agree this.In their opinions,newspapers have incomparable advantages in terms of convenience.Besides,they argue that the news on newspaper has stronger authority than on the internet.
第三段:总结观点段
Weighing up these two arguments,I prefer to the latter one.For one thing, newspapers can be read at any time in any place.For another,newspaper is so cheap that nearly everyone can afford it.Taking above-mentioned factors into consideration,I may reasonably conclude that newspapers are the better source to know daily news.

参考范文
练习一
Grades Can’t Say Everything
第一段:提出观点段
For years many people had such thought that grades is of great significance to students.Many of them just work hard with almost no play so as to get a satisfied grade.However,grades can’t say everything.
第二段:论证观点段
The following reasons can support the argument.Undoubtedly,high grades don’t mean that one is excellent in everything.A case in point is that one may has a poor academic performance but show a great talent in music.Furthermore,grades can be affected by many uncertain factors,like student’s psychological state.For example,there are some excellent students who can’t perform well just because they are too nervous.Besides,sometimes some students cheat to get high grades which account for nothing.
第三段:总结观点段
All mentioned above tell us that grades can’t say everything.And it is only an indicator to evaluate one’s comprehensive ability.Therefore,we should make a proper use of grades to assess students’ability.
练习二
Should Customers Buy Cut-price Products?
第一段:提出观点段
When asked whether customers should buy cut-price products,different people will offer different views.Some people take it for granted that they would like to buy cut-price products since a discount is a great appeal.However,others maintain that it’s not a wise and rational idea to buy discount products.
第二段:对比论证段
Those people who hold the first opinion believe they can save themselves a lot of money.In addition,they can use less money to buy more products.However,still others do not agree this.In their opinions,the discount is merely a business means of attracting customers and enhancing their desire of purchasing.Besides,they argue that the discount always tempt customers to buy something unnecessary.
第三段:总结观点段
Weighing up these two arguments,I think customers should be alerter to cut-price products.For one thing,complaints about cut-price products rank first in recent days according to the newspaper.For another,cut-price products are usually not provided with an after-sales service like three guarantees for products.Considering these factors into consideration,we may reasonably conclude that customers should think carefully when buying cut-prices products.

Test 1
框架搭建:由题目要求可知,本文应为一篇对策方法类作文,其基本的段落安排如下:第一段描述年轻人缺乏感恩意识这一问题;第二段分析感恩意识缺失的原因;第三段说明如何让年轻人学会感恩。
Learn to Be Grateful
第一段:概述问题段
Nowadays quite a few young people lack consciousness of being grateful.They tend to take such things for granted as parents’supporting them,teachers’helping them,and waiters’serving them.They are even mean to say“thank you”.This phenomenon has caused great attention from the whole society.
第二段:说明原因段
The following points can account for the lack of gratefulness consciousness.First of all,unsound family education plays an important role.Most parents tend to pay too much attention to children’s academic performance,but ignore their value orientation.Moreover,schools don’t input enough time and money in moral education.Besides,nowadays young people get so much love that they are insensitive to others’care and help.
第三段:说明方法段
Considering the seriousness of the problem,it is high time to take effective measures to strengthen young people’s consciousness of being grateful.First,parents should improve self-quality and influence children by their own behaviors.Second,society and schools must increase input in moral education.Finally,we should learn to express our gratefulness to people around us,just beginning with a simple“thank you”.

Learn to Give up Wisely
第一段:提出观点段
“Never give up”has been accepted by many people as a positive life attitude.It is no denying that persistence often plays an important role in one’s success.However,in many cases,to give up might be wiser than blind persistence.
第二段:论证观点段
The following reasons can support this argument.Firstly,sometimes our goal may be unrealistic.If we insist it blindly,it will finally bring us nothing but failure.At this time,we should give up the original goal and reset a more practical one.Secondly,not all persistence can bring deserving results.For a very simple example,if we keep waiting in line for hours only to have a lunch,maybe it is unworthy.Finally,to give up wisely do not mean admitting failure.Instead,it does mean a new hope of success.
第三段:总结观点段
Considering the above-mentioned,we can come to the conclusion that to give up wisely is a kind of more mature life attitude.Though giving up sometimes is painful and costly,in the long run,what we gain will definitely far outweigh what we lose.

The Popularity of Body-building
第一段:概述现象段
In recent years,more and more people have joined in the body-building group.People begin to take part in various fitness clubs or fitness centers in their spare time.Body-building has become an indispensable part of many people’s life.
第二段:说明原因段
Why are so many people keen on body-building?Firstly,keeping health is one of their main purposes.In modern society,many people work with their brains most of the day.They want to improve their health by body-building.Secondly,quite a few people,especially the women,go to the gym in order to keep a good figure.Many setting-up exercises like aerobics are very helpful in cutting up weight.Besides,body-building is a good way by which many people release pressure.
第三段:总结观点段
As far as I am concerned,the popularity of body-building will be a long-time trend.It shows people begin to pay more and more attention to life quality.As a fashionable,healthy life style,body-building will attract more and more people.

Parents’Being Slaves to Children
第一段:描述图画段
As can be seen in the picture,the whole family including grandpas and grandmas are supporting a child.The picture reflects a kind of hot phenomenon in Chinese society that many parents become their“children’s slaves”.
第二段:说明影响段
Young parents spend a large part of their income and energy on children,and in many cases these young parents have to turn to their old parents,just as the above picture describes.The burden of raising a child not only pose great financial pressure on these young parents but also might threaten their physical and mental health,and even their marriages.
第三段:说明原因段
In my opinion,the appearance of a“child’s slave”is the result of the following factors.For one thing,the cost of raising a child in China has been on rise,while young parents’incomes are limited.For another,Chinese old tradition of spoiling a child has to be blamed.Parents compete with each other in trying to provide the best possible living conditions for their children.Their expenditure on children is sometimes even beyond their means.

Does Happiness Lie in Contentment?
第一段:提出观点段
There is an old saying which goes“Happiness lies in contentment”.Some people take it as a doctrine and believe they should learn to be content with their present situation,while others maintain that only discontentment can bring constant improvement.
第二段:对比论证段
Those who hold the former opinion say that one person,who is content with profits and position he has gotten,has a more peaceful state of mind and knows more about how to enjoy life.Also,in their opinions,contentment can hold back one’s greed and evil desires.However,many others do not agree this.They think that being satisfied with things as they are will make one accept mediocrity and lose initiative,and finally lead to unhappiness but not happiness.
第三段:总结观点段
Weighing these two arguments,I prefer the latter one.From my point of view,contentment can not bring permanent happiness,and“happiness lies in contentment”is an excuse of those lazy and coward people.Besides,discontentment is a motivation to promote further improvement.Therefore,we should never be content with our present achievement but should improve ourselves constantly.
Test 6
Should College Students Do Business in the Dormitory?
第一段:描述图画段
As we can see from the picture,a students’store is opening for business,and a student is informing his customer of the arrival of the goods he ordered.The picture reflects a kind of phenomenon on campus that some college students with a good business sense have started their own businesses in the dormitory,like a grocery store or a duplicating shop.
第二段:说明利弊段
It is no doubt that doing business brings about some benefits to these students.They can earn more money to ease the burden of their families.What’s more,it makes them become more independent and understand parents’hardships.However,doing business do some harm to the students.Above all,spending too much time on business will influence normal study.Besides,since the dormitory does not belong to one individual,one’s business might disturb the others,which will lead to the disharmonious atmosphere.
第三段:总结观点段
In my opinion,college students’starting a business should be allowed and supported since they can get benefits from it.But it is worth noting that those students shouldn’t ignore their study and should try to avoid disturbing other students.

Travel Alone or Travel with a Companion?
第一段:提出观点段
When it comes to traveling way,different people will offer different opinions.Some people like to travel alone,while others prefer to travel with a companion.Of course,everyone has his consideration for his preference.
第二段:对比论证段
Traveling alone,one can enjoy more freedom.The traveler can arrange his tour as he wishes without the trouble of humoring others.Moreover,traveling alone tends to bring the traveler unexpected surprise,such as making a new friend and enjoying a different scenery.Compared with traveling alone,traveling with a companion has also its advantages.For one thing,the group members can help and look after each other in the journey.For another,traveling with others who have the same interest,he can share costs and experiences with them.
第三段:总结观点段
As for me,I prefer to travel with a companion.Firstly,we can deal with possible problems and difficulties in the journey.Secondly,I like to share the pleasure of traveling with others.In sum,both traveling alone and traveling with a companion have their attractions,and you can find the pleasure from either one.

第五周 灵活变换句式,瞄准用词亮点,突破14分
灵活变换长句短句、主动被动、强调倒装等各类句式,巧妙运用限定词语、动态名词、抽象名词等亮点词语,谙熟并牢记100个四级写作闪光句式和用词,可为您的作文锦上添花,在考试中博得高分。
星期一 把握组句技巧和用词原则
一篇文章要有合理的组织结构以外,更重要的是要有合理、多变的句式和规范、准确的用词。遣词造句能力是体现学生语言功底的基本技能,是考生写出高质量文章的保证。
一、组句技巧
1 句子应紧凑连贯
句子中各成分之间要衔接紧密、连贯并富有条理。我们可以通过关联词语引导从句或并列句来体现句子的内部关系,也可适当使用分词结构和一些独立的短语或是插入语成分来代替从句。此外,句子之间还要注意指代、时态、语态、人称和数等方面的连贯和一致。
如:原句:Teenagers are pressured by school work and they are also encouraged by their peers,and under these,they resort to smoking,and sometimes they feel a little guilty.
优化:Pressured by school work and encouraged by their peers,teenagers often resort to smoking,though they feel a little guilty sometimes.(优化后的句子结构紧凑、意思连贯)
原句:The following ways can be adopted to improve our study efficiency.First,you should make a detailed study plan.
优化:The following ways can be adopted to improve our study efficiency.First,we should make a detailed study plan.(改成we后与前面的our在人称上做到一致)
2 句式应有变化
一篇文章要使人觉得内容丰富、语言生动,就应该重视句式的变化,如主动句和被动句搭配使用、适当穿插倒装句和强调句等特殊句式。另外,不要一味地使用常见的“主语+谓语”的开头方式,可以适当搭配以分词、副词等开头的句式。
如:原句:They say that people obtain most of their knowledge through reading extensively.
优化:They say that it is through reading extensively that people obtain most of their knowledge.(优化成强调句)
原句:The competition is becoming increasingly fierce,so it is more difficult to find a job than before.
优化:With the competition becoming increasingly fierce,it is more difficult to find a job than before.(介词短语开头)
3 句子表达要简洁
造句时,要注意避免赘言重复。只要意思表达清楚,多余的词语就没有必要了。有时有的考生纯粹为了凑字数,加上了一些不必要的成分,导致语义含混不清、啰唆冗长。
如:原句:I think Gone with the Wind is one of those good films which I enjoyed watching very much.
优化:Gone with the Wind is a film I enjoyed very much./I enjoyed the film Gone with the Wind very much.(将多余的成分去掉后,句子表达更加简洁)
4 长短句要结合
在写作中,一味地采用长句或短句都是不可取的,要将简单句和带有衔接词的复杂句交替使用,这样才能够使文章句式丰富,富有节奏感。
5 少用问句,尽量不用感叹句和祈使句
有些考生喜欢开篇问一连串的问题,想以此引起阅卷老师的注意。一般来讲,一篇作文中可以偶尔出现1~2个问句,太多则会适得其反。
感叹句和祈使句多用于口语之中,不太适宜在四级的书面写作中出现。尽管在抒发感情和发出呼吁时也可以使用,但多数考生对这两种句式的把握能力不够,因此建议考生尽量不要使用。
二、用词原则
1 用词要简洁
能一个词表达清楚的意思,就不要加上多余的成分,另外还要注意不要造成意义上的重复累赘。
如:原句:What you have done is illegal under the law.
优化:What you have done is illegal.
2 用词要多样
注意不要一味地重复使用某个词汇,可适当转换成同义词或短语。也不要一味地使用同一种词性,要学会使用不同的词性。
如:原句:This can definitely make them work more enthusiastically.
优化:This can definitely stimulate their working enthusiasm.
3 多用朴素、易懂的词
对考生来说,生僻或华丽的辞藻驾驭起来比较难,很容易使用不当,很多时候不但不能给文章增色,反而可能会使阅卷老师困惑,起到负面作用。因此,建议考生在写作时尽量选用自己熟悉的词语。
如:原句:Parents in China always have altercations about their children’s education.
优化:Parents in China always have quarrels about their children’s education.
4 多用具体的词
如果词的概括性太强,往往让人觉得抽象、笼统,会给人模糊不清的感觉,
词义比较具体的词会使表达更加准确、生动。
如:原句:Some people like to read the newspaper very quickly and try to find some interesting stories.
优化:Some people like to flip through the newspaper and try to find some interesting stories.
5 注意使用限定词
在写作时适当使用限定词来修饰可以使论述更加客观、适度,避免观点的绝对化。
如:In general,young people seem more prone to job-hopping.Nowadays the increasingly severe employment situation is perhaps the biggest challenge facing college students.

星期二 如何合理搭配长短句
在实际写作中,一味地采用长句或短句都是不可取的,长短句应交替使用。英语的句子主要可分为简单句、并列句和复合句三种。一般来说,写作中是以简单句为基础,配以适当的并列句和复合句。简单句也可长可短,一般会加些附属成分,如分词短语、不定式短语、介词短语和副词短语等。
一、长句的用法
长句含有许多修饰语,适合表达准确而复杂的思想,解释观点或理论,描写细致的事物。写作时,考生要注意前后句子之间是否存在联系,善于发现简单句之间的关联,用恰当的连接词将简单句连接起来,组成准确地道的复杂长句,增加文章的气势。
如:原句:Lies do harm to those who are being told.Lies also do harm to those who tell them.
优化:Lies not only do harm to those who are being told,but also do harm to those who tell them.
原句:Natural resources are very limited.They will be exhausted in the near future.It is not true.But it becomes a major concern around the world.This is a widely accepted fact.
优化:It is widely accepted fact that there is a major concern around the world for the exhaustion of limited natural resources in the near future,though it is unlikely to be true.
二、短句的用法
长句固然能表达出复杂而缜密的思想,但如果片面追求复杂句式,华而不实,反而成为表达的累赘。因此,写作中句子的长短应根据表达的需要,有话则长,无话则短。
短句比较简洁、明快、有力,适合陈述重要的事实或想法。短句不仅指句子长度较短,也指句子内部结构精炼。
如:原句:Many automobile parts that are made of plastics and other synthetic materials do not last long.
优化:Many automobile parts made of plastics and other synthetic materials do not last long.
原句:He didn’t have enough experience,which is the reason why he didn’t do the work well.
优化:He didn’t do the work well for lack of experience.
三、长短句变换练习
要求:将下列长句或短句进行优化改写,使其更符合表达需求。
1.If students who wish to have overseas academic experience have got the chances and financial resources,they should seize the opportunity to go abroad and broaden their vision,while if conditions don’t permit them to go abroad,they can pursue their studies at top universities in our country.
2.China’s seven-day Labor Day and the National Day holidays now is entering their seventh.The possibility of cancelling the holidays,usually called“Golden Week”,has become a widely discussed topic.

6.Thirdly,after“Golden Week”,the number of tourists declines greatly.It results in the serious imbalance in travel industry.It does not really boost travel industry in a long run.
7.We need more flexible holidays.Thus we can satisfy the traveling desire of Chinese people.At the same time,we can avoid huge consumption imbalance between the“Golden Week”and usual times.
8.People who choose to further their studies abroad insist that if they go to study overseas they can get many benefits in different ways.
9.The place where they study is not very important for them,and instead,it is what they can learn that is the most important.
10.Second,if they complete part or all of their education overseas,they can gain a broader or different perspective on their field of study.

星期三 如何制造亮点句式
一篇文章如果反复使用同一句式,就会显得单调无味、毫无生气,因此写作时一定要注意句式变换,今天我们的任务就是学会如何制造亮点句式,把作文变得丰富多彩、充满生气。
一、倒装句和强调句
1 什么是倒装句
句子成分在句子中都有一定的位置,但有时为了修饰原因,可以把某些句子成分前后倒置,以达到突出强调的作用。英语中倒装主要有两种:全部倒装和部分倒装。
(1)全部倒装是指主语和谓语完全倒置,常用于记叙或描写。
(2)部分倒装是指只将助动词提到主语前面,而主要动词仍然保留在原来的位置上,常用于议论或说明。
如:原句:By reading widely,he can really make remarkable achievements in his study.
优化:Only by reading widely can he really make remarkable achievements in his study.
2 什么是强调句
写作中,常使用强调句来达到突出重点的目的。强调句的基本结构是:It is(was)+被强调的部分+that(who)+句子其他成分。
如:原句:Not how much you read but what you read really matters.
优化:It is not how much you read but what you read that really matters.
二、含有插入语的句子
插入语是一种独立成分,通常与句中其他成分没有语法上的关系,将它删掉之后,句子结构仍然完整。插入语大都是对一句话进行附加说明或解释,通常由一个词、一个短语或一个句子构成,常置于句首、句中或句末,一般用逗号或破折号与句子隔开。插入语有时表达说话者的态度和看法,有时起强调的作用,有时是为了引起对方的注意,有时起转移话题或说明事由的作用,有时还可以承上启下,使句子衔接得更紧密。
写作中常用到的插入语包括:
副词和副词短语:indeed(的确),surely(无疑),however(然而),frankly(坦率地说),obviously(显然),naturally(天然地),luckily/happily for sb.(算某人幸运),fortunately(幸好),strangely(奇怪地),briefly(简单地说),personally(依个人之见)。
形容词或形容词短语:true(真的),funny(可笑的),needless to say(不用说),most important of all(最为重要),worse still(更糟糕的),even better(更好)。
介词短语:in conclusion(总之),in a word(简而言之),in short/in brief(简而言之),in general(一般说来),in a sense(在某种意义上),in one’s view(在某人看来),in one’s opinion(按照某人的看法),in fact(事实上),at first(首先),in addition(此外),of course(当然),to one’s surprise(使某人惊奇的是),to one’s regret(使某人遗憾的是),for example(例如),on the contrary(相反),in other words(换句话说),on the other hand(另一方面)。
分词短语:strictly speaking(严格地说),generally considering(一般认为),considering/taking…into consideration(考虑到,鉴于),judging from(根据……判断)。
不定式短语:to be sure(无疑),to sum up(概括地说),to tell the truth(说实话),to be frank/to be honest(说实在的,老实说),to make matters worse(更糟的是),to start with/to begin with(首先,第一)。
简短的句子:I am sure(我可以肯定地说),I believe/think(我相信),do you know(你知道吗),you see(你明白),I’m afraid(恐怕),it is said(据说),I suppose(我想),what’s more(而且),what’s worse(更糟糕的是),that is to say(也就是说),what is important(重要的是)。
如:原句:I think that computer games can also do some good to young people.
优化:Computer games,in my opinion,can also do some good to young people.
原句:The above-mentioned show that it is no doubt that college students should often attend sports activities.
优化:Considering the above-mentioned,it is no doubt that college students should often attend sports activities.
三、含有平行结构的句子
平行结构指的是将结构相同或相似、意义并重、语气一致的语言成分并行排列的一种修辞手法。这种结构层次清晰、语意顺畅,能够起到加强语气、增强表达效果的作用。
如:原句:This phenomenon,in my opinion,has upgraded the quality of people’s life.And it has also improved the value of consumption of our modern society.
优化:This phenomenon,in my opinion,has not only upgraded the quality of people’s life but also improved the value of consumption of our modern society.
原句:Many people get up early to jog along country lanes,or in order to observe the wonder of nature.And some also just watch the sun rise.
优化:Many people get up early to jog along country lanes,to observe the wonder of nature,or just to watch the sun rise.
四、含有非谓语动词的句子
非谓语动词包括:动词不定式、动名词、现在分词和过去分词。使用非谓语动词可以用较少的词表达同等甚至更加丰富的信息,使句子结构紧凑、逻辑严谨。
如:原句:It must be realized that people should be cautious when they decide which books they should choose to read since if they read bad books,it will be time-wasting and harmful.
优化:It must be realized that people should be cautious when deciding which books to read since reading bad books is time-wasting and harmful.
原句:Because one of my parents is laid off,my family can’t possibly afford all my expenses at college.
优化:With one of my parents being laid off,my family can’t possibly afford all my expenses at college.
五、含有谚语格言的句子
如果能在作文中恰当地引用1~2句谚语格言,将会增加作文的表现力,展示出作者的语言功底,有助于获得阅卷老师的青睐。但需要注意的是,不要引用过于生僻或自己不太熟悉的谚语格言,否则引用不当,反而会适得其反。另外,谚语格言并不是越多越好,一般来说,一篇作文引用一句就可以了,最多不要超过两句。
如:原句:Doing part-time jobs has its disadvantages.
优化:Every coin has two sides.So does doing part-time jobs.
原句:Last but not the least,you need an intense interest in learning English.
优化:Last but not the least,you need an intense interest in learning English since“interest is the best teacher”.

Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Making All Decisions for Children.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words,and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese
1.很多家长习惯于替孩子做决定,如选择学校,选择工作等。
2.分析这种现象给孩子带来的影响。
3.你的看法是……
范文
In modern society,traditional patriarchy is still influencing Chinese parents.They(1)tend to make almost all decisions for their children,(2①)from(3①)choosing schools(2②)to(3②)picking up a profession.(2③)Sometimes even many detailed things(4)such as clothing and diets have to be decided by parents.
(5)However,deciding everything for children does(6①)not help them(6②)but harm them in many ways.(7①)On the onehand,it will make children lack independence and initiative,(8)which(9)is unfavorable to their development(10)in the long run.(7②)On theother hand,in many cases,parents’decisions are not always(11)in accordance with their children’s personal ideas and interest.It will make children form resistance and naturally influence their growth.
(12)From my point of view,(13①)it is unwise for parents to make every decision for their children.(13②)It is obvious that parents cannot accompany their children all the time.Growing to be independent is the natural way for everybody.Therefore,parents should give their children rights to make their own decisions.They can help their children(14)but not replace them to make choices.

星期四 如何制造亮点词语
一篇文章要想吸引阅卷老师的眼球,给人眼前一亮的感觉,没有地道准确的用词是不行的。今天我们的任务就是学会如何制造亮点词语,让自己的遣词更形象、更生动,使自己的作文亮起来、炫起来。
一、选用具体的词
和具有一般含义的词汇相比,具体词汇能够使语言表达更加准确、形象和生动。比如,good food和tasty/delicious/fresh food相比,显然,后面的具体词汇更富有表现力。
但是,受汉语表达习惯的影响,很少考生能用具体的词汇表达复杂的概念。这就暴露出考生对语言的驾驭能力不够。因此,考生在进行写作训练时,要有意识地选用比较具体的词汇,增强语言的表现力,为文章增加亮点。
如:原句:No one saw the bank being broken into.
优化:No one witnessed the bank being broken into.
原句:Sometimes women are still made unable to have equal rights in modern society.
优化:Sometimes women are still denied equal rights in modern society.
二、恰当使用限定词
限定词的使用能使论述更加客观、适度,避免观点的绝对化,提高说服力和可信度。
写作中常见的限定词有:may,maybe,perhaps,probably,mainly,generally,commonly,personally,comparatively,typically,usually,sometimes,often,most,mostly,nearly,almost,not necessarily,in general,at least,at most,may as well,if possible,had better,to some extent,to some degree,more often than not,for the most part等。
如:原句:I don’t agree with the first argument.
优化:I don’t agree with the first argument to some extent.
原句:The first appearance will determine the moder fate.
优化:The first appearance more often than not will determine the applicant’s fate.
三、注意区分近义词
由于英语词义范畴非常广泛,即便是近义词或同义词也只是某种程度上的近似,不可能在意义上完全对等。这就需要考生在选词时斟酌其含义的微妙差别,辨析同义词在具体语境中的不同用法。
如:原句:So there arises the problem Will electronic books replace traditional books?(指“实际存在的问题”或“需要解决的现实问题”,不符合此处语境)
优化:So there arises the question Will electronic books replace traditional books?(指“可获得解释或回答的问题”)
原句:After a good dinner together,all the guests relaxed and became quite careless.(指“漫不经心的,粗心的”,不符合语境)
优化:After a good dinner together,all the guests relaxed and became quite familiar.(指“随便的,熟悉的”)
四、学会使用动态动词
动态动词往往比be,there be,make,need等静态动词更有活力,可以达到更好的写作效果。
如:原句:Please try our best to help this girl,help her to pass the most difficult period in life,and make her financial burden less and less.
优化:Please try our best to help this girl,help her to pass the most difficult period in life,and relieve her financial burden.
原句:Each day,we can see there are a lot of foods in the garbage cans.
优化:Each day,we can see many students dump foods in the garbage cans.
五、学会活用不同的词性
很多考生受汉语思维的影响,经常完全依据汉语的词性对译英文,导致造出来的句子十分生硬、死板。因此,考生在平时训练时一定要注意摆脱汉语思维的束缚,学会根据具体的语境活用不同的词类,这样才能写出地道生动的句子。
如:原句:After we have observed them carefully and analyzed them critically,we may identify the conceptions that will actually contribute to the social development.
优化:Through careful observation and critical analysis,we may identify the conceptions that will actually contribute to the social development.
原句:Environmental pollution will make it impossible for human beings to survive on the earth.
优化:Environmental pollution will deprive human beings of the possibilities to survive on the earth.
六、学会使用介词短语
英语中有很多介词短语都具有动词的特征,适合表达抽象的含义。学会活用这些介词短语不但可以丰富文章的用词,而且能够增强文章的表现力。另外,我们经常可以用介词短语代替从句,从而使语言表达更加简洁有力。
如:原句:His family obviously cannot afford the big sum of money for such an operation obviously.
优化:The big sum of money for such an operation is obviously beyond what his family can afford.
原句:Pirated products often cost much less than the original ones,so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price though their quality is relatively poor.
优化:Pirated products often cost much less than the original ones,so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price despite their relatively poor quality.

Why Do People Like to Buy Lotteries?
Nowadays,there exist all kinds of lotteries in our society,such as welfare lottery,sports lottery,computer lottery,and so forth.Anyone,whether men or women,the old or the young,may buy lottery tickets.But why do quite a few people like buying them?
The following reasons can account for the popularity of lotteries.First of all,most people are trying their luck on lottery tickets.They have a long-cherished dream of making big money over night.In addition,there are some people who want to make donation to public welfare by buying lottery tickets.Besides,some people buy them just for fun.
As far as I am concerned,there are some risks in buying lotteries.People should never count on making big money by buying lotteries.Furthermore, lotteries to some extent are similar to gambling,so people should not spend too much money on them.In a word,people should keep a clear head when buying lotteries.

The Impact of E-mails on Impersonal Communication
Nowadays more and more people are using e-mails to exchange information instead of traditional way of mailing letters.The popularity of e-mails produces great impact on impersonal communication.
It is no doubt that E-mails provides great convenience for exchanging information,especially in the work.E-mails make communication quicker and easier than before.Moreover,by e-mail we can deliver more information including pictures and sounds in a more vivid way.However,e-mails has some disadvantages.With the same format and the print font,e-mails includes less emotion than traditional letters written by hand.Most of people use e-mails to deliver just information without feelings.
From my point of view,e-mails do bring great convenience for us,but it is not such a good way to express our feeling as traditional letters.In my eyes,handwriting and letter paper can deliver many feelings.Therefore,you might as well write a letter by hand when you want to express your love and care.

框架搭建:由图画和题目要求可知,本文应为一篇对策方法类作文,其基本的段落安排如下:第一段结合图画描述父母的期望和孩子的理想之间的矛盾;第二段说明产生这种矛盾的主要原因;第三段说明解决这一矛盾的办法。
How to Solve the Conflict between Parental Hopes and Personal Ideals
From the picture,we see a scene of filling in the application for college,where a child is struggling for the pen with his father.Obviously,the child wants to fill in the application as he wishes.The picture show vividly the conflict between parents’hopes and children’s personal ideals.
But what has led to the conflict?First of all,in this fast-changing society,parents and children have too many differences in mind.Secondly,traditional patriarchy is still influencing Chinese parents.They are used to making decisions for their children.Third,nowadays young people have strong independence,who want to plan their own future.
In order to solve the conflict,both parents and children should pay their efforts.For one thing,parents should give their children rights to make their own decisions.They may help their children make choices instead of replacing them to make choices.For another,children should learn to respect their parents’advices.As long as both parents and children learn to think from the other side’s point of view,the conflicts between them can be avoided.

框架搭建:由图画和题目要求可知,本文应为一篇对策方法类作文,其基本的段落安排如下:第一段结合图画描述学生的假期综合征现象;第二段说明导致这一现象的原因;第三段针对如何解决假期综合征提出你的建议。
Post-holiday Syndrome among Students
From the picture,we can see a student feels very depressed about returning to campus life after a holiday of playing games,sleeping late and surfing the Internet.The picture mirrors vividly a kind of phenomenon among students called post- holiday syndrome.
The appearance of post-holiday syndrome can largely be attributed to unhealthy lifestyles during the holiday.Many students overindulge in eating and playing during the holiday.They don’t follow the routine schedule at school,many of whom stay up late and get up late.Even some students are addicted to computer games all day and night.So they feel many discomforts when the new term begins.
I have some suggestions on how to deal with this syndrome.First,try to choose more healthy and meaningful ways of relaxing during holidays,such as doing some exercises and reading novels.Besides,it might be an effective way to return to the campus or the school routine schedule a few days earlier before the new semester starts.You will have time to adjust your lifestyle to campus life.

Advantages of Trying New Things
It is widely accepted that one is more likely to succeed at things he already knows how to do well.However,to limit ourselves to doing only those things will make us miss many opportunities to develop other interests and skills.Therefore,sometimes it is necessary for us to try some new things.
Despite the risk of failure in trying new things,we can benefit from it.Firstly,the process is a rewarding experience,from which we may feel a different world.Secondly,even if we fail,we can still absorb experience and lessons;if it turns out that we succeed,we’ll get great pleasure and confidence.Finally,it is impossible for us to never fail even if we do only what we are familiar with.With experience of trying new things,we can deal with the unexpected situations better.
Considering the above-mentioned,we needn’t be afraid of trying new things.But it is worth noting that trying new things bravely does not mean acting rashly and blindly.We should take full account before our trying new things.

Are Traditional Virtues Out of Date?
With the development of our society,people’s traditional values have changed a lot.Many people are inclined to seek after high-quality life and high economic profits.Under the influence of these changes,some people come to the conclusion that traditional virtues,like thrift and honesty,are out of date,to which I could give my consent.
Though some of traditional virtues are meeting greater challenge than before,most people,as the mainstream of our society,still go after these time-honored traditional virtues.In their eyes,high quality life doesn’t mean waste.Whether in the past,at present or in the future,thrift is everyone’s responsibility.In addition,without honesty,our society and economy will fall into disorder;without mutual help,human society will stop developing soon.
Considering the above-mentioned,I think,traditional virtues remain indispensable elements in the Chinese character in modern society.Therefore,we must strengthen education on traditional virtues.It is only if the whole nation is aware of their eternal value that traditional virtues are likely to take root firmly in our nation’s spirits.

Should China Loosen Its One-child Policy?
Nowadays,whether China should loosen its one-child policy has aroused a heated debate.Some people are in favor of the new policy that if both of the couple are the only child in the family,they can give birth to a second child.However,others take an opposite view.
People who take the former opinion point out that the problems of aging population and the decline of working force will become more serious if China stick to the one-child policy.They argue that loosening the one-child policy can help promote rational growth of population.Yet,people who are for the latter opinion firmly believe that the huge population of china will cause the shortage of natural resources and the excessive population.
In my opinion,it is advisable for China to loosen its one-child policy,because it makes the policy more humane.All in all,the government should handle this problem flexibly.

框架搭建:由题目要求可知,本文应为一篇说明现象类作文,其基本的段落安排如下:第一段描述目前自然灾害发生的现状和主要危害;第二段说明导致自然灾害增多的原因;第三段说明应该如何预防和应对自然灾害。
How to Confront a Disaster
Natural disasters,like earthquake,tsunami and hurricane,often come unexpectedly.In recent years,there have happened frequently some natural disasters in the world,like China earthquake,the Indonesian tsunami.These disasters killed millions of people,destroyed countless homes and fertile land.
But what on earth leads to these natural disasters?Of course,natural variation plays a very important role.However,more and more people become aware that those disasters have much to do with what we have done to the earth.We have cut down too many trees.We have badly polluted the environment.As a result,nature goes up to revenge itself on us.
Considering the great destruction of natural disasters,it is urgent for us to do our best to protect our environment so as to prevent the natural disasters.Besides, when natural disasters really happen,firstly,we must keep a clear head and try to save ourselves and help others;secondly,we must unite together and have a firm belief to get through disasters.Only in this way can we conquer disasters.

Online Games
The picture vividly reveals the parents’worrying about the fact that their children are addicted to online games.Parents tend to think online games do nothing but be harmful to the students.In their opinions,as long as a student begins to play online games,his academic performance must become worse.Besides,they say that sitting before the computer screen for a long time will bring negative effects on the health of young people.
However,there are many others who argue that online games are not always harmful.They can train the ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly.Moreover,they can stimulate their imagination and interest in computer science.More importantly,it does bring young students much pleasure.
From my point of view,it depends on how we use it whether an online game is harmful or beneficial.It will be a wonderful entertainment if we play it in a clever way.We young people should have enough self-control ability.Besides,parents and teachers should give students necessary instructions on how to take advantage of online games.

Teenagers’Studying Abroad
From the above chart,we can see clearly that there is a rapid increase in the number of teenagers studying abroad from 2000 to 2008.Some people think it will certainly do good to the children,while others insist it may not be a good choice.As for me,I prefer to the latter opinion.
Of course,some children might benefit from studying abroad.For example,the independent life might make them learn confidence and perseverance.But it doesn’t mean that it is a right thing to send a teenager to study abroad.From my point of view,it has a great risk to do this.
The following reasons can support my argument.First,the quality of overseas education is not necessary higher than that of our education.Indeed,some foreign schools aim at earning money.Second,early independent life may be harmful to the child,if he cannot receive proper guidance and tender care from both teachers and parents.To conclude,I think it is necessary for young students to make a careful consideration before going abroad.

Fake News Reports
It’s not uncommon that some journalists or troublemakers make up fake or misleading stories about celebrities,illnesses,crimes,etc.Just as we see in the picture,the man is faking up a news report about the death of the famous businessman Bill Gates.It is not difficult to imagine how bad influence it will bring when the news is spread via the Internet.
Many people might ask what has led to the prevalence of fake stories in modern society?More often than not,some journalists create misleading news in order to draw public attention so as to make themselves more popular or to win certain prizes.In addition,some people who are anxious to see the world in disorder want to fool the public and revenge the society by making up fake news.Besides,the development of the Internet propels the spreading of fake news.
Now,it’s high time for China’s journalism supervisory bodies to take measures to prevent all possible fake news.For instance,those who are found to manipulate news should be severely punished and those journalists could be banned from news writing.

Killing Time Indoors
Nowadays a growing number of people,especially the 20s or 30s like the young man in the picture,are addicted to killing their spare time indoors.They spend lots of time online chatting,blogging,shopping,dating or playing computer games.They sit with their eyes glued to the television screen or the comics,day and night.They even never go out for meals and only have take-out food.
Why are so many young persons keen on staying at home?The development of the Internet might be the greatest incentive.Young persons can enjoy various information,games and entertainment ways without getting out.Besides,many people believe that staying indoors is cheap,comfortable,and most importantly,very safe.
Personally,I don’t think staying indoors for too long time should be advocated,especially for young persons.Lack of physical exercise and face-to-face communication with others will do harm to people’s body and mind.In my opinion,people in all ages should be encouraged to spend more time outdoors to enjoy the sunshine,the green space,and interact with other people.

High Expenditure of College Students
As is vividly depicted in the picture,many college students spend money like water and have no concept of thrift in their mind.They buy whatever they like without considering the price and their parents’financial ability.
There are three main reasons behind this phenomenon.Firstly,some parents and grandparents spoil children so much that they think their spending money as they wish should get little cause for criticism.Secondly,with the improvement of living standard,parents can afford higher expenditure of their children.Finally,various fashionable goods have great attraction to young students.To buy them certainly needs more money.
From my point of view,it is unhealthy for us college students to have this kind of spending habit.Whether the financial condition of our family allows our extravagant spending or not,we should limit our expenditure on daily necessities.Learning to be thrifty can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.

The Increasing Use of Smartphones
These days the smartphone has been gaining great popularity.Everyday people spend a lot time taking pictures,uploading their friend circles in We Chat and their micro blogs by their phones.It can be seen everywhere that people bend their heads and use their fingers to prick the keys of the phones.
More and more people have become dependent on this little gadget.We often can see smartphone addicts attend to their phones,ignoring everything.When touring,they are busy taking photos and updating micro blogs but ignore the scenery.When meeting with friends,they are busy playing the phones with little communication with friends.Some even fail to take proper actions in case of emergency,just as the crowd in the cartoon do.Their only goal seems to be attracting as much attention online as possible.
As far as I am concerned,the invention of the smartphone is a gift for us and also a curse.It has brought much convenience and fun,but we should try to avoid being too much dependent on it.

The Popularity of BBS
BBS,whose full name is Bulletin Board Service,is gaining its wide popularity among college students.Nowadays,almost every university has its own BBS.And everyday many students visit it,by which they make comments and communicate with one another.
The popularity of BBS is mainly due to the following reasons.Firstly,BBS is an open space and provides a free communication platform,by which students can express themselves at will.Secondly,there is a variety of information on BBS,from which students can find whatever they need.Thirdly,BBS provides students more chance to know one another.They can make more friends with common interests and hobbies.
In my view,our college students can benefit a lot from BBS.We not only gain much fun but also much useful information.However,it is worth noting that as BBS is an open space,there is inevitably the issue of information chaos.Therefore,we must strengthen our critical ability to evaluate the BBS information.

With the popularization of Internet,cyber crimes have become a serious problem.Cyber criminals seem to be everywhere on Internet.For example,some commit fraud,lift intellectual property,snatch passwords or disrupt e-commerce by illegal way.
These crimes destroy network security greatly and make computer users suffer great losses.It’s high time for us to take effective measures to fight against cyber crimes.On one hand,we should reinforce the cyber laws to punish cyber criminals strictly and develop high techniques to improve intrusion detection and prevent cyber crimes.On the other hand,more talented people should be trained and more effective firewalls should be built up.
As a college student,we have responsibility to join the battle against cyber crimes.Above all,we should obtain necessary knowledge about the prevention of cyber crimes.Besides,we should be honest to others on Internet and not release or spread unreal information.In a word,it takes our common efforts to defeat cyber crimes.

Man Proposes,God Disposes
There is a widespread proverb,“Man proposes,God disposes”,which means that the planning lies with man,the outcome with Heaven.This proverb reflects a relation between success and luck,that is,we should always work hard in order to achieve our goal,though sometimes we may meet unexpected things.
Let me take English study for example.A student spends much time and energy on English,and he has good study habits.He is supposed to receive good grades in the examination.But suppose something unexpected,like illness,occurs,and his final score is far from ideal.Should he lose heart and become pessimistic?Of course not.What he should do is just keep it up,and next time luck will most probably favor him.
From my point of view,luck does influence or even dominate us sometimes,but in any case we are the master of our own fortune.It is up to ourselves whether we want to go ahead or backward.As long as you insist working hard,your effort will pay in the long run.

A Boom in Continuing Education
From the graph,we can learn the number of participants of continuing education has kept increasing from 1998 to 2008 in X city.In 1998 there were only 20 thousand people taking part in continuing education,but by 2007,it has reached 660 thousand.It can be seen easily that continuing education is gaining its more and more popularity.
The following reasons are responsible for this boom in continuing education.Firstly,during the work many people begin to realize what they have learned in schools is far from enough.So they turn to continuing education.Moreover,as the science and technology in China are developing very fast,adults after graduation have to refresh themselves.In addition,in modern society,those without bachelor’s degree or above are less competitive.
As far as I am concerned,the boom in continuing education is a necessity.It provides those on-job people with chances to get advanced degrees and gain more knowledge.As our society is developing,more and more people will receive continuing education in the future.

Goal Setting Is Important
“Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.”This is a famous remark of John Rukin,one of the greatest British writers.The saying contains a very important philosophical wisdom.It tells us that goal setting is extremely important in our work and life.
Above all,goal setting provides you with direction and purpose.When you have goals,you know what you want to achieve so that you can focus on those things favorable to the realization of the goals and avoid getting distracted easily.Moreover,to set a goal according to your personal practical situation can help you know yourself better and find a way to success by overcoming your weak points and developing our strong points.Besides,a goal you want to achieve will undoubtedly provide you with motivation to work hard.
Goal setting is of great significance for today’s students.It will help them reduce blindness of learning and plan their study more rationally and efficiently.But it is worth noting that we should set reasonable goals and avoid achieving something beyond our grasp.

From the picture above,we can see that all the“buildings”are coughing painfully in the dirty air and the sky is dark.The picture illustrates vividly how serious today’s air pollution is.
Considering its harm to our health,it is high time for us to take effective measures to reduce air pollution.On the one hand,the government should implement stricter laws and regulations on pollution.Those industries that release wastes without permission should be heavily fined.On the other hand,we should try to have a low-carbon lifestyle,such as taking public transportation instead of driving a car to reduce harmful emissions.
The protection of the environment is undoubtedly a long-term,arduous task.It needs every citizen’s efforts to create a good environment with cleaner air and brighter sky.Your small change of behaviours might bring great help to the environment.

Should Universities Lower Admission Requirements for Celebrities?
In recent years,many famous universities lower admission requirements for celebrities.More and more celebrities,especially sports stars,have been admitted to famous universities even without an entry examination.This phenomenon has become a topic of widespread controversy.
Some people object to it strongly.They hold that this admission pattern does not comply with the basic fairness rule of education.And if a person who has no enough academic ability is admitted to the university,it will be an insult on college education.However,still other people think it acceptable.They say that these celebrities deserve this privilege because they have proved their abilities in their field.
Weighing up these two arguments,I prefer the latter one.In my opinion,these celebrities have sacrificed much learning time for their work,so they should be provided a better chance for learning.Besides,if celebrities accept advanced education,they could serve the society better.Therefore,I suggest that people should pay more attention to these celebrities’efforts and contributions rather than the special treatment they enjoy.

Craze in Famous Brands on Campus
In recent years there has been a craze in famous brands among college students.On campus we can see many students dressing in famous brands from head to toe.It is worth more attention that even some students from poor families also begin to join in the army following famous brands.
College students’preference for famous brands is caused mainly by the following factors.Above all,in many college students’eyes,a famous brand is a symbol of identity and position.They believe it can show their good taste.What’s more,in modern society,famous brands to some extent are equal to fashion,which has a great attraction to young college students.Besides,parents’spoiling their children helps form their unhealthy consumption habit.
As far as I am concerned,it is irrational for our college students to be crazy about buying famous brands.After all,we have no income source.It is shameful to use our parents’money to satisfy our vanity.Therefore,I suggest that we should follow the consumption principle of being practical and thrifty.

A Teacher of Mine Who Has Influenced Me Most
During my education,I have met many good teachers who have given me a lot of help and instruction.Among them,Mr.Li is certainly the one who has influenced me most.He was the class adviser in my high school who also taught us maths.
Mr.Li has benefited me not only in my study but also in my attitude towards life.For one thing,he is the most humorous and witty teacher I have met.His maths classes not only inspired my interest in maths but also led me to find a way of my own of studying maths well.For another,Mr.Li has taught me a lot of truths of life.I was once addicted to online games.At that time,falling grades and parents’scolding made me feel depressed and lose the goal of life.It was Mr.Li’s care and instruction that helped me out of the difficult position.

Will Traditional Newspapers Be Replaced by Electronic Newspapers?
With the popularization of Internet,there are an increasing number of electronic newspapers for people to read in daily life.Instead of reading traditional newspapers,many people develop the habit of browsing news on Internet everyday.So some people propose such a question Will traditional newspapers be replaced by electronic newspapers?
Quite a few people’s answer is yes.They say electronic newspapers have many advantages over traditional newspapers.For example,they can be updated instantly.Moreover,they can provide more lively news.However,still many other people hold the opposite.They think traditional newspapers are easier to read and can leave people a warm feeling,which the computer can’t give.
Weighing up these two arguments,I prefer the former one.For one thing, electronic newspapers have all the functions of traditional newspapers,so traditional newspapers lose the necessity of continuing its existence.For another,electronic newspapers make people enjoy quicker,more detailed and more colorful news.Therefore,I think it is a trend that traditional newspapers will be replaced by electronic newspapers.

Don’t Neglect the Elder Generation
From the picture,we can see the department of nutritional products for children is surrounded by a crowd of parents,making its saleswoman extremely busy.In contrast,the neighboring department of nutritional products for the elderly does not attract any customer.Its saleswoman is so boring that she falls asleep.The picture reflects a phenomenon that people tend to care more for the next generation than the elder one.
Compared with the past,today’s young parents have the ability to provide their children with a higher quality life.They spend their most time and money on their children.However,these young couples fail to give their old parents enough care either in material or in emotion,and some of them even depend on the elderly’s support in all aspects.
From my point of view,this phenomenon is very distressing and irritating.Caring and honoring the elderly has been regarded as a Chinese traditional virtue for over two thousand years.At no times should the duties to old parents be neglected by young people,no matter what excuses they have.Young people should try to set a good example for the next generation by giving enough care to their old parents.

How to Build a Harmonious Dormitory Life?
A harmonious dormitory life is very important to college students.With harmony,we can concentrate on our study and thus can enjoy our college life fully.But sometimes the harmony will be disturbed.For example,some students do not pay much attention to health,which affects the overall environment in the dormitory.What’s worse,some members listen to music or chat very late,which influence others’study and rest.
Then how should our college students build a harmonious dormitory life?Firstly,we have to get rid of our healthy living habits since the dormitory is a public place.Secondly,we should learn to be tolerant and consider more for others so as to avoid quarrels.Finally,more communication plays an important role in solving the problems and discrimination.
To conclude,it needs every member’s effort to maintain a harmonious dormitory life.

The Advantages of Starting at the Bottom
In recent years,many employers require that college graduates have to be willing to start at the bottom and work up to the top.Some students might think it to be a waste of their talents.However,this kind of requirement is for both the employers’and the college graduates’sake.
Above all,college graduates,who are used to considering themselves as God’s favored ones,tend to overestimate their ability and ask for a higher pay than those who have no college diploma.However,they seldom have any practical experience.In addition,new graduates often find it hard to deal with the working environment unfamiliar to them.They are in great need of starting their career from the bottom of a company and learn how to cooperate with their colleagues and the superior.
Considering the above-mentioned,we can conclude that it is necessary for college graduates to start at the bottom.But it is worth noting that we should set a right target,or else we might stop at the bottom forever.

Work-study Programs
Many college students choose to take part in work-study programs in their spare time.Some of them choose to be a tutor or doing a part-time job in school dining-room or library.Also some others do a part-time delivery man or promotion specialist,or other jobs alike.
There are mainly three different reasons for college students to take a work-
study program.First,to earn money is the main aim of many students.They want to relieve the burden on their families by doing a part-time job.Second,some students take work-study programs as a channel by which they know the society and improve their practical skills.Third,still some other students do part-time jobs just for fun or kill time.
From my point of view,college students can benefit a lot from work-study programs.But it is worth noting that study is prior to anything else.Those who take part in study-work programs should keep it in their mind.Besides,they should spend their income from these programs properly.

The Popularity of Working at Home
With the widespread of telephone,computer and fax machine,it is not difficult to deal with work at home.However,as to the advantages and disadvantages of working at home,different people will give different opinions.
Those people who advocate working at home believe that it can save the commuting time from home to workplace,which can thereby increase working time.Moreover,working at home can guarantee people against the interference of the noise which is typically in offices.However,still others object to working at home.They argue that people are more likely to become sluggish if working at home.Besides,working at home might make companies unable to respond to those emergencies which need the joint efforts of all employees.
Weighing up the pros and cons,I do not support working at home.For one thing,it may cut off people’s basic communication with their colleagues,which will result in the feeling of isolation.For another,it may decrease efficiency,since people always have housework to tend.Taking above-mentioned factors into consideration,I may reasonably conclude that people should not be encouraged to work at home.

Should a University Professor Focus on Scientific Research?
Nowadays,some professors spend most of their time on their scientific research projects.This phenomenon has caused many debates.Many people think these professors are spraying from their main task.They insist that the most important job for a professor should be teaching the students rather than writing the research papers and working on scientific projects.
However,still others don’t agree this argument.They think that university professors are the main force of scientific research work.Moreover,working on scientific research can help a professor improve his professional ability,which in turn is favorable to his teaching.
In my opinion,scientific research work and teaching work are not conflicting with each other.Instead,they complement each other.But some professors are so indulged in their scientific research projects that they ignore teaching work,others even only for fame or higher position.These professors have to be reminded to make self-examination.

Social Practice of College Students
Nowadays many universities encourage and organize students to take part in social practice activities.During the holidays,more and more students choose to be the volunteers,take part-time jobs,or take part in other practical activities alike.It’s obvious that social practice is playing a more and more important role in China’s college education.
Undoubtedly,college students have benefited a lot from social practice.On one hand,they are provided with more opportunities to contact the real world outside the campus and can apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problems.So their practical skills are improved greatly.On the other hand,social practice helps strengthen students’sense of social responsibility.
Considering the above-mentioned,I think,it is necessary for college students to participate in social practice.But it should be noted that some students may spend too much time on taking part-time jobs so as to ignore their study.Therefore,we should try to balance the relationship between social practice and study.

Sex Education on College Students
In recent years,more and more universities in China have begun to put sex education programs into practice.Some related lectures held last year at XX University attracted several hundred students.This high attendance probably reflected a strong desire for more knowledge on sex.
It is quite necessary to strength sex education on college students.Nowadays,the young people can find out about sex from a wide range of sources,including advertising,television,magazines and websites.But some of these sources are inaccurate.Besides,it is well known to all,the HIV carriers are increasing in great numbers,and lack of sex education should be blamed of this.Therefore,the government and education departments have the responsibility to promote sex education.
As college students,we should take a right attitude towards sex.For one thing,we should learn some basic knowledge about sex.For another,we should take sex seriously and cautiously.To start sex behaviors is too early for college students who are not mature enough.

Is a White Lie Acceptable?
Sometimes,people have to tell a lie to someone else in order to protect him or avoid hurting his feeling.That is called“white lie”.But since it is a lie,it has always been a controversial topic.
Many people believe that a white lie is a kind of protection for both the lie teller and the lie receiver.In their opinions,if the truth might be a great hurt to others,they should cover it.However,still others hold the opposite view.They argue that telling a lie to somebody,in fact,invades his right to know the truth.Besides,they insist that if one is informed of the truth,one can make proper decision according to his own will.
Weighing up these two arguments,I prefer the latter one.Nobody can guarantee that covering the truth to one person is best to him.Anyone should be admitted to make his own decision.But it is worth noting that the truth should be conveyed in a humane way if it might hurt others.

The Craze for the Test for National Civil Servants
In recent years,there has appeared a craze among more and more high-educated people who have participated in the test for national civil servants.Millions of graduates and postgraduates choose civil servant as their most ideal occupation.
There are the following three reasons for the kind of craze.Firstly,nowadays college students face great employment pressure.Civil servant,as one of the most stable professions in today’s China,becomes their preferable choice.Secondly,in recent years the welfare and salary of civil servants have been improved greatly. Finally,the high social position of civil servants is an important factor drawing many people to choose it.
In my opinion,this craze in civil servant test will continue in the following years.However,if most high quality talents gather in the government departments,it might lead to a waste of resources.And it is unfavorable to the development of an individual’s ability.Therefore,we should take full account before we decide to take part in the test for civil servants.

The Impact of Electronic Products on Family Education
The picture describes vividly a family scene where the parents don’t permit their son to play on the computer.However,both the father and the mother are sitting in front of a computer even when talking with their son.The picture reflects the phenomenon of today’s young parents’being addicted to electronic products.
Young people tend to have weak resistance to electronic products,and young parents are no exception,which brings some problems to family education.Parents do not permit children to spend time on electronic products lest it affect their study,but parents themselves couldn’t resist the temptation.Facing parents who are with a tough attitude but not being models,children generates negative feelings.This leads to the conflict between parents and children.
From my point of view,qualified parents should be children’s models.When parents require children to do something,they should do it firstly.Besides,parents should take a wiser way to educate children.As to electronic products like a computer,I suggest parents give children some chance to be exposed to them in proper time rather than absolutely ban them.

Reserving a Seat
We often see there is a table-cloth,a book or something else on the desk in the classroom or library,indicating the seat is taken.This kind of phenomenon is very usual on college campus.Strangely enough,few students will protest it.
Though it is for the purpose of better study for most students to take seats in advance,this kind of phenomenon has great negative effects.For one thing,this selfish behavior damages other students’interests.For another,reserving a seat violates the rule of fairness.No matter how late you come to class,the seat is still reserved for you,while many students coming earlier can not get a seat.
From my point of view,our college students should take a new look at our behavior of reserving a seat.Only if every one of us improves our self-consciousness,will it not be a difficult task to get rid of this kind of unhealthy behaviors on campus.

Light Project in Cities
In recent years,many big cities have launched the light project,which aims at lighting the nights of the city’s streets.No doubt,this project can bring many benefits to citizens.Above all,the whole city image is improved greatly.The city appears to be gorgeous and prosperous with the decoration of thousands of lights.Besides,the citizens will feel much safer when going out at night.
However,as every coin has two sides,the light project also has some disadvantages.The most obvious one is that it costs much electricity.What’s worse,excessive lights can cause light pollution and thus affect people’s health and at the same time do harm to our environment.
Weighing the advantages and disadvantages,I think the light project should be continued since the citizens benefit from it.But the waste of energy must be controlled because our resources are very limited.Therefore,the government should take effective measures to reduce the waste of energy.

Should We Use a Machine to Make Him Breathe?
Suppose a man’s brain is dead because of an accident,that is,he can’t think,speak or hear,should we use a machine to make him breathe?Facing this question,different people have different opinions.
Some people think that it is meaningless to keep an unconscious person alive since he can never know this.Instead,this machine only makes his family and friends hurt longer.However,other people hold the opposite opinion.They insist that one’s life cannot be announced to end so easily.Anyone has no right to do that.Besides,if his family asks the doctor not to use the machine and let him die,it might haunt them for the rest of their lives.
As for me,I am in favor of the former opinion.I think,a person whose brain is dead has lost his value as a social being.To make him go on breathing is just a console for those living people,which is of no practical meaning.Therefore,I think it unnecessary to use a machine to keep the man’s breathing.
