英语四级常考语法归纳
1.常考的几种倒装结构
1)当表示否定或基本否定的词或词组位于句首作状语时用倒装。这类词或词组常用的有:never, nowhere, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely, barely, not until, not only, by no means, in no time, under no circumstances, under no condition, in no way, in no case, at no time, on no account等。
Never have I heard it before.Nowhere can I find my lost watch.Under no circumstance should a student cheat in the exam.Not only was Churchill a statesman, but also a poet.Note:当 “no sooner„ than”和“hardly/scarcely„ when/before”位于句首时用倒装。该结构表示“一„就„”,在时态上主句一般用过去完成时,when或than引导的从句用一般过去时。
Hardly/Scarcely had I got home when/before the bell rang.No sooner had the performance begun than the lights went out.2)当here, there, then, thus, only, hence, little等副词位于句首,句中主、谓用倒装。
Here is the book for you.There goes the bell.Then came the order to take off.Thus arose the division between the developed and developing countries.3)当 “so/such„ that”结构中的so或such位于句首时用倒装。So cold was it at night that I could hardly fall asleep.Such was the force of explosion that all the windows were broken.4)分句以so, neither, nor, no more等副词位于句首,表明前面句子中所说明的情况也使用于后面的句子时用倒装。
Copper is a good conductor.So are many other metals.He didn’t see the film last night, neither did she.2.强调句型
这里讲的强调句主要是以it为引导词的分裂句。其构成形式为:It is(was)+被强调部分+ that(who, which)+句子的其他部分。被强调的部分通常为主语、宾语和状语。
It is only when one is ill that one realizes the value of health.It is what you will do that is essential.Note: 在被强调部分的后面,一般用that引出句子的其他部分。但是如果强调的部分是表示人的名词,那么也可用who;如果是指物的名词也可用which。It was Jane that/who lent me the money.It was this novel that/which they talked about last night.如果强调的是原因状语从句,只能用because引导,不能由since, as或why引导。It was because(不用since或as)he had never had the opportunity that John hadn’t learned to drive.有三类句子成分不可以进行强调,即表语、谓语动词和由though, although, whereas等引导的从句。
It is although he is young that he can speak four languages.(误)
Although he is young, he can speak four languages.(正)It is whereas he prefers pop song that I like classical music.(误)
I like classical music whereas he prefers pop songs.(正)3.使役动词后的宾语补足语
使役动词除了要有宾语之外还要加上宾语补足语才能使句子的意义完整。常用的使役动词有:have, want, make, get, leave, set, let等。可以担当使役动词宾语补足语的有名词,形容词,介词短语,动词不定式和分词等。All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.A good night’s rest will set you right.Note: 动词不定式可以担当使役动词的宾语补足语,但在make, let, have等使役动词后,动词不定式作宾语补足语时不用to。He made her give up the opportunity.What would you have me do? Her pride would not let her do this.分词也可以担当使役动词的宾语补足语。现在分词表示正在进行的主动意义,而过去分词表示已经完成的被动意义。Her remark left me wondering what he was driving at.The joke set them all laughing.He managed to get the job done on time.I’ve just had some new photos taken.4.平行结构
在英语中,当两个或两个以上的同等成分(主语,谓语,宾语,表语,定语,状语,宾语补足语等)并列时,要求它们的词性或结构相同,即名词对名词,介词短语对介词短语,分词对分词,句子对句子等等。这就是英语的平行结构准则。一般在使用并列连词如and, but, or, neither„ nor, either„ or, not only..but also, both„ and, more(less)„ than, as well as,rather„ than等时,要注意不要违反平行结构准则。He likes watching TV more than reading books.The soldier preferred to die rather than surrender.We saw Tom walking towards the river, taking off his clothes and plunging into the water.Censorship prevents a movie from being shown or a book being sold.5.反意疑问句
在具体运用反意疑问句时应注意以下几点: 1)如果陈述句部分是一个含有宾语从句的复杂句,则反意疑问部分的谓语动词和主语代
词要与主句的谓语动词和主语相对应。
He never said she would come, did he? You told me I had passed the exam, didn’t you? 但是如果陈述句部分是 “I(don’t)think, believe, suppose, imagine, expect, fancy, reckon等+宾语从句”的结构时,反意疑问部分的谓语动词和主语代词要与宾语从句的谓语动词和主语相对应,并且要注意否定的转移。
I suppose you are not serious, are you? She imagines that people like her, don’t they? I don’t believe she knows it, does she?(因don’t的否定意义后移而不用doesn’t)
I didn’t expect she would come, would she?(因didn’t的否定意义后移而不用wouldn’t)
2)如果陈述句部分是祈使句,则反意疑问部分一般用“will you”。在否定祈使句后还是用“will you”。Read the text, will you? Don’t be late, will you? 如果陈述句部分是以Let’s开头的祈使句,则反意疑问部分一般用“shall we”;如果是以Let us开头的祈使句,则反意疑问部分一般用“will you”。
Let’s have a party tonight, shall we? Let us go home, will you? 3)如果陈述句部分带有never, nothing, nowhere, hardly, scarcely, seldom, rarely, barely, little, few等否定词或半否定词,反意疑问部分的动词要用肯定式。
You can hardly believe this, can you? He has few good reasons for staying, has he? 6.词序
当多个形容词共同修饰一个名词时,在意义上同名词关系最密切的词最靠近该名词,其排列次序为“A + B + C + D + E + F + G +被修饰的名词”。其中:A.表示年龄、新旧的形容词,如old, young等。B.表示大小、长短、高低、重量的形容词,如little, big, long, heavy等。C.表示形态、形状的形容词,如round, square等。D.表示颜色的形容词,如red, white, green等。E.表示国籍、地区、出处的形容词,如British, southern, Italian等。F.表示物质、材料的形容词,如wooden, rocky等。G.表示用途、类别、目的、与„有关等的形容词,也包括起形容词作用的名词和分词,如medical, writing, geography等。其他形容词放在上述A类形容词之前。例如: a small round brown wooden table a useless, old, big, heavy, red geography book a valuable old French writing desk a strong young Chinese boy student 7.一些特殊的句型
1)there is no point in doing sth.该句型意为“做„是无济于事的/没有什么用的”。可以用very little或not much等来代替no。其中的point是不可数名词,作“目的”、“用处”解。There is very little point in arguing with him.2)have difficulty(or trouble)in doing sth.该句型意为“做„有困难”。其中的in可以省略;其中的difficulty和trouble是不可数名词,不能有复数形式。也可以用there is difficulty(or trouble)in doing sth.表达相同的意思。There was little difficulty in finding him.3)keep(sb.or sth.)busy doing sth.该句型意为“使„一直忙着做某事”。需注意的是虽然busy with doing sth.和busy in doing sth.都是正确的,但考题中常考busy doing sth.句型。但如果busy后面跟的是名词,则要用busy with sth.。We are busy preparing for the examination.4)feel like doing sth.该句型意为“想做某事”,且feel like后只能跟动名词,而不能跟动词不定式。此外,feel like后还可跟名词或代词,表示“想要某物”。I was so angry that I felt like throwing something at him.I feel like beer tonight

网络
In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet.As is known to all, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work’s needs.On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life.As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends.But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence.After all,Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.(120 words)
近年来,人们正在开发与互联网密不可分的关系。众所周知,我们都很方便在网上冲浪时点击鼠标,无论是为了自我娱乐还是适应工作的需求。
另一方面,没有人会否认,互联网是目前在我们的日常生活中最有用的媒体。作为一名大学生,我每天上网通过电子邮件和我的网友们交流信息。但另一方面,很多人承认他们太沉迷于网络维护一个正常和健康的生活方式。因此,对我们来说是一种合理的方式使用互联网,避免过度沉迷必要。
毕竟,人们发明互联网是为了丰富我们的生活,是为了提高我们的工作效率,而非束缚我们的枷锁。
第三篇:英语四级作文必背[模版]
英语四级作文必背范文
1、北京奥运
The Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics logo has a single Chinese character on a traditional red Chinese seal.The English words “Beijing 2008” are written with a Chinese brush below it.At the bottom of the picture, there are the five rings of Olympic Games.The figure in the logo resembles a runner or dancer and the Chinese character “jing” which means “capital”.The image carries the message that today's China is not only a nation with a long and glorious history, but also one full of modern dynamics.First and foremost, this logo is a journey to the future, the emblem for China moving towards the 2008 Olympic Games.What is more, it is a symbol of the city's promise to make the Games a success.Accordingly, this emblem represents the heart of an ancient culture embracing the modern world, the spirit of a people moving towards a new destiny.In my view, first of all, the Olympic Game represents the spirit of sports.Arms flung wide, it invites all people and the world to share in the city's history, beauty, energy, and its future.In addition, it is a gesture of friendship and hope that the community of nations will unite in peace through sports.参考译文
北京2008年夏季奥运会会徽在传统的红色中国印章上刻着一枚汉字。汉字下方用中国毛笔书写了“北京2008”的英文字样。图画底部是奥运的五环标志。会徽中的人物象征了一位跑步者或舞蹈者,而汉字“京”的意思是“首都”。
这一会徽表达了当今的中国不仅个拥有悠久灿烂的历史国度,更是一个充满了现代活力的国家。首先,这一会徽是一次奔向未来之旅,是中国迈向2008年奥运会的象征。其次,它是北京承诺将成功举办奥运的标志。因此,这一会徽代表了一种悠久文化拥抱现代世界的信心,以及中国人民迈向新征程的精神。
在我看来,奥林匹克运动会首先代表了体育的精神。它伸展了双臂邀请全世界及其人民分享北京的历史、魅力、能量及未来。此外,它是友谊的象征,以及希望国际社会通过体育运动进而和平共处。
2、留学
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Studying Abroad.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below: 1)目前很多中国学生出国留学;2)出国留学的好处;3)我的看法。
Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents.Importance should be attached to studying abroad.There are a great many advantages of studying overseas.First and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world.On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values.What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages.There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile.In the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have.Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is conducive to the growth of adolescents.3、网络
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Internet.You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、互联网使用的现状;
2、大学生是否应该使用互联网,人们的看法不同;
3、我的看法。
In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet.As is known to all, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work’s needs.On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life.As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends.But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence.After all,Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.4、考试
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Views on Examinations.You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below: 1)大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩;2)考生可能带来的副作用;3)我对考试的看法。
In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject.Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching.Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques.No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations.In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits.As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development.If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
5、老师
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The
most unforgettable Teacher I ever Know.You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below: 1)我生活中最难忘的老师是…… 2)为什么他(或她)令我难以忘怀;3)结论。
In my life I have met a great many teachers who are really worth recalling.But perhaps the most unforgettable one I ever know is my English teacher.What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities.First of all, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening of a passion for learning.He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field.Second, I was attracted by his lively wit.I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.6、求学信
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter applying for admission into a college or university.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

How to deal with peer pressure?
College students are often obsessed by peer pressure from their classmates or schoolmates.Facing others’ hard work and good performance in academic and other aspects, many students feel great pressure.Then, how to deal with this kind of peer pressure? The following measures can be taken.First, you should take a careful look at your present level and set a practical object.You needn’t always compare yourselves with those on the top and just make your efforts towards your object.Second, under peer pressure, you shouldn’t feel discouraged and pressed.Instead, you should make it your motivation for harder work.Finally, if you find pressure is nearly beyond your control, you’d better turn to professional psychological guidance.As a college student, I have no way to avoid peer pressure, so I try to figure out the way to do with it well.I set my own goal, including my practical level and my position among the peers.Because of my focus on my own goal, I have no time and energy to think about the pressure.So I’m little troubled by it.To conclude, we should not escape from peer pressure, but learn to make best use of it, since it can hardly be avoided.Online games
As a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students.Many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games.But as we see, some students lacking self discipline on too much indulge in these games.So that their health and academic performances are affected.This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents.However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful.They can train their ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly.Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science.More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly.Form my point of view, online games are wonderful entertainment if you play them in a clever way.When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once, but if you have enough self control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.COLLEGE STUDENTS SHOULD ATTEND PHYSICAL EXERCISE
Physical exercise is a necessary part of college life.However, still some college students do not like to attend sports activities, they think those activities waste their time and influence their study.Indeed, it is very unwise for college students to keep distance from physical exercise because physical exercise is not harmful but good to them.College students can benefit a lot from physical exercise.First of all, attending physical sports can help students build a strong body, and keep abounding energy.Moreover, physical exercise is an effective way to relief pressure and keep a pleasant move.Besides, by attending physical activities, students can have chances to contact and communicate with others which can help them improve their social skills.Nowadays, all colleges and universities have provided many sports facilities for students to do physical exercises, students can chose freely according to their interests and needs.As for me, I am keen on all kinds of ball games, especially football and basketball.From these games, I have gained a lot, and enjoined great pleasure.To conclude, physical exercise is beneficial to every college students, and therefore do not hesitate to attend sports activities.Why It Is Difficult ron College Students to Find Jobs?(大学生求职为何难?)1.描述现状; 2.分析原因; 3.给出办法。
[写作导航]先陈述现实,即虽然从理论上讲不应如此,但大学生找工作确实很难;第二段分析原因,一方面来自大学生自身,如有些人不能溶入社会,目标过高等,另一方面是所学专业过窄,难以找到合适的工作;第三段给出“我”的观点:大学生应了解自己的长处和短处,不要太看重物质利益,而是要着眼于长远发展,另外还要注意继续深造。[范文]
More and more college students, in recent years, are finding it difficult to find jobs.This may sound strange since college students used to be the “most favored” people in society.They have received a higher education, hence they are more intelligent, knowledgeable than their counterparts who failed to attend college.But chances are that some of them can hardly find jobs after graduating from colleges.There are two reasons that account for this strange phenomenon.One is that some college students cannot come to terms with themselves and with the world around them.They pursue too high goals and are too particular about such factors as working conditions, salary, and so on.Therefore, they are reluctant to accept the job when they are offered to them.Another reason is that the majors some students pursue do not match with the demands of the job market.As a result, they can only sit and miss opportunities.To solve this problem, I think college students should know their own strengths and weaknesses and have the right attitude towards themselves and the job vacancies.In addition, they should not attach too much importance to material aspects of the job.They should put priority to their future development and their contributions to society in stead.Furthermore, they should think of receiving some further training to meet the demands of society.Pets 1.什么是宠物。
2.人们爱养宠物的原因。3.要不要提倡养宠物。
A pet is all animal which is raised or kept by people as a companion.In recent years, more and more people, old or young, rich or poor, like to keep a pet such as a dog, a cat, a monkey and so on.Pets are loved by people.they not only are good friends to their masters but also become members of the family.Although they are not human beings, their behavior sometimes is better than the human beings, for they always remain obedient and loyal to the master.There are many stories in which we are told that a pet saved his or her master's life or even traveled thousands of miles to return home.This makes them more lovely.Moreover, trained pets are very helpful.For instance, a trained dog can help the blind to walk and a trained pig can even find out drugs from the imports goods.But pets are sometimes trouble-makers.Some pets such as dogs or snakes may attack people unexpectedly.A lot of people become ill or get infected because of the virus carried hy their pets.And some pets are dirty and poisonous.Therefore, we do not advocate keeping pets.Advantages and Disadvantages of Cell Phones(手机的利弊)1.手机使用的普遍性; 2.手机的优点;
3.手机的危害及我的建议。
[写作导航]先指出当前手机使用很普遍,然后用事实(随处可见人们用手机通话,许多大学生、高中生都有手机)来支持主题句;手机的优点主要是方便通信,甚至上网,还体现在突发事件(疾病、交通事故)的求助上;手机的缺点主要是辐射和干扰他人,因此我建议尽量少用,重要场合(开会、上课时)关机。[范文]
Cell phones have become increasingly popular in China these days.Wherever you go you can see people using cell phones.Many college students, even high school students, have cell phones.Cell phones have brought people a lot of benefits, but the most important is that they are convenient.With cell phones in their hands, they can keep in touch with anybody they want.If they want to get some information from the Internet, they can easily have their dream realized via cell phones too.Furthermore, if someone has a heart attack or a traffic accident, a call to emergency hospital or to the police can quickly bring him the help he wants.However, cell phones can also bring people problems.The most serious is the electric wave radiation which is thought to be harmful to users' brains.Another problem is that when people are having a meeting or having a class or at a concert etc, the ring of the cell phone may interrupt others.So I think people should use cellphones as little as possible and turn them off when they are attending important meetings or attending classes.It Pays to Be Honest
1.当前社会上存在许多不诚实的现象
2.诚实利人利己,做人应该诚实
It Pays to Be Honest
Nowadays people are troubled with mass of dishonest behaviors in society.Teachers get annoyed when they catch students cheating on exams;consumers get hurt when they unfortunately buy some fake products;children are misled when they see their parents tell lies so as to evade the responsibility they should take.Why do people cheat? The main reason probably lies in immediate interest they may obtain by cheating.For example, a company, which manufactures fake products, may seem to win for a moment because it can minimize its manufacture cost by doing so.This kind of businesses, however, will be driven out of the market in the long run.For the consumers after getting to know the poor quality of the products will not buy them anymore.The same is true of individuals.Dishonest people dare not take on the responsibility of life.They cheat in class, in office, at home and so on.But the truth can hardly be masked.The moment the truth comes out they will lose their credibility, which is easier to destroy than to rebuild.Consequently, these dishonest will suffer a long time because of their cheating behaviors.In conclusion, no one can afford to be dishonest in a civilized society.Honesty is the pillar of a society.People will benefit from being honest in the long run.That's why we say it pays to be honest

Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Jobs for Graduates.You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、大学生难找工作,2、原因很多,3、解决的办法。
Job hunting has always been a headache for college students.Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not.Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.The reasons for this phenomenon are various.On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market.On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.I reckon this problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures.First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need.Second, students’ attitude towards employment should be changed.They should go to small cities and country.There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge.In a word, if we pay much attention, the situation can be improved.7、考试:

In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject.Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching.Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques.No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations.In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits.As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development.If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?

1、北京奥运
The Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics logo has a single Chinese character on a traditional red Chinese seal.The English words “Beijing 2008” are written with a Chinese brush below it.At the bottom of the picture, there are the five rings of Olympic Games.The figure in the logo resembles a runner or dancer and the Chinese character “jing” which means “capital”.The image carries the message that today's China is not only a nation with a long and glorious history, but also one full of modern dynamics.First and foremost, this logo is a journey to the future, the emblem for China moving towards the 2008 Olympic Games.What is more, it is a symbol of the city's promise to make the Games a success.Accordingly, this emblem represents the heart of an ancient culture embracing the modern world, the spirit of a people moving towards a new destiny.In my view, first of all, the Olympic Game represents the spirit of sports.Arms flung wide, it invites all people and the world to share in the city's history, beauty, energy, and its future.In addition, it is a gesture of friendship and hope that the community of nations will unite in peace through sports.参考译文
北京2008年夏季奥运会会徽在传统的红色中国印章上刻着一枚汉字。汉字下方用中国毛笔书写了“北京2008”的英文字样。图画底部是奥运的五环标志。会徽中的人物象征了一位跑步者或舞蹈者,而汉字“京”的意思是“首都”。
这一会徽表达了当今的中国不仅个拥有悠久灿烂的历史国度,更是一个充满了现代活力的国家。首先,这一会徽是一次奔向未来之旅,是中国迈向2008年奥运会的象征。其次,它是北京承诺将成功举办奥运的标志。因此,这一会徽代表了一种悠久文化拥抱现代世界的信心,以及中国人民迈向新征程的精神。
在我看来,奥林匹克运动会首先代表了体育的精神。它伸展了双臂邀请全世界及其人民分享北京的历史、魅力、能量及未来。此外,它是友谊的象征,以及希望国际社会通过体育运动进而和平共处。
2、留学
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Studying Abroad.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:
1)目前很多中国学生出国留学;
2)出国留学的好处;
3)我的看法。
Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents.Importance should be attached to studying abroad.There are a great many advantages of studying overseas.First and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world.On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values.What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages.There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful,the payoff is worthwhile.In the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have.Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is conducive to the growth of adolescents.3、网络

3、我的看法。
In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet.As is known to all, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work’s needs.On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life.As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends.But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence.After all,Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.4、考试
