dear sir/madame，i am a sophomore in shanghai university, majoring in computer software.in the previous one and a half years i have been a model student and monitor of my class.however, since i registered here, the expenses have become a burden for my average family.you know, my parents are both laidoff workers, and, to make matters worse, my mother has suddenly fallen ill and is expecting a major operation.it will be beyond their ability to finance me through my remaining education.it is now a must for me to help relieve their financial pressure.so i’m applying to your bank for a loan of 10,000 yuan.if my application is approved, all the money will go to my tuition and fees for the coming academic years.i’ve made a detailed plan to arrange my school life.a parttime job as a family tutor will not be difficult to find and some workstudy programs for students like me are also provided in our university.from these sources i will be able to earn more than enough to support myself.i guarantee that i will repay the loan within five years, that is, within two years after my graduation.please have confidence in me: i have a very good credit record.i would be greatly obliged if my application is granted.many thanks.yours sincerely，li ming

career choice.it is truly a tough choice.students’ opinions differ greatly on this issue.some hold that priority should be given to their interest in jobs，but others take the attitude that salary is the most critical factor influencing their career choices.as to myself，i prefer the latter view.a wellpaid job exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people，with no exception to me.although it might be impossible to measure the value of one’s job in terms of money，salary counts most when i choose my future career.in my view，our career choices largely depend on how and where we have been brought up.i come from a poor urban family and my parents were both laidoff workers.in order to finance my tuition，they have been working hard over the past four years.as the only son in my family，i have to shoulder the burden of supporting my family.in short，salary is the first and only consideration in my choice of career.3.拥有手机的优点和缺点

it is widely believed that it greatly facilitates students’ campus life.many instances could be found to support this type of opinion.a graduating student in our university bought a mobile phone in the course of hunting for his job.he told me that through the mobile phone he could easily keep in touch with the employer of the company he intends to work with and would not miss any opportunities.however，everything has both positive and negative facets.the mobile phone also has many disadvantages.for instance，the ringing of the mobile phone often disturbs the teacher’s teaching and other students’ learning.来源：考试大

You should write no less than 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:

1.有人认为金钱是幸福之本(source of happiness)

2.也有人认为金钱是万恶之源(root of all evil)

3.我的看法

[范文]Can Money Buy Happiness?

Can money buy happiness? Various people have various answers.Some people think that money is the source of happiness.With money, one can buy whatever he enjoys.With money, one can do whatever he likes.So, in their minds, money can bring comfort, security, and so on.Money, as they think, is the source of happiness.But there are still a lot of others who think that money is the root of all evil.Money drives people to steal, to rob, and to break the law.A lot of people became criminals just because they were in search of money.And in the Western countries, there is nothing that can’t be bought by money.Many people lose their own lives when hunting it.I think that money is essential to life and we cannot do without money.But even though money is necessary to life, it can’t buy happiness.Happiness is not something that can be measured by money.It is a state of mind.One can have plenty of money, with which he can buy whatever he wants, and at the same time he is not happy because he is never satisfied or he is troubled by various kinds of problems.Therefore, although money is necessary for a happy life, it can’t buy happiness.1996年1月作文题目及范文

[参考范文]The Two-day Weekend

The two-day weekend has brought a lot of benefits to college students.It not only offers us more time to get rid of tiredness and have a good rest, but also gives us more chances to take up some hobbies, such as fishing, reading, or gardening.From these activities we can learn many things outside the classroom, which will add to our knowledge.Despite the convenience it brings us, the two-day weekend has also given rise to quite a few problems.The most serious one is that the weekdays are filled with more lesson, sometimes too many.Because our classes are limited to Monday through Friday, we have to take more lessons each day than in the past.This leaves us little time to catch our breath during the weekdays.In order to benefit most from the two-day weekend, I have decided to make a good plan for the two-day weekend.Of course I should take this chance to relax.But during

the weekend, I will still set aside enough time to study.By doing so ii can have a good time as well as make progress in my studies.1996年6月作文题目及范文

[范文]Global Shortage of Fresh Water

Many people believe that the world’s supply of fresh water will never be used up.They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use.Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water.As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water.Furthermore, with the rapid growth of the world’s population, the rising demand for water by industry, and the serious pollution of our surroundings, the world is facing the danger of running out of fresh water.Actually, in some big cities, fresh water cannot meet the daily needs.Therefore, to find new ways to save water is an urgent task.First, we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water.Second, scientists must work even harder to purify sea water and polluted water, and try to find substitutes to reduce the use of fresh water.1997年1月作文题目及范文

The famous saying “Practice makes perfect” is widely accepted today.It means if we practice unfamiliar things again and again, we’ll be able to perform it perfectly.The practice of learning English is a good example.We are not living in an English speaking country.So, in order to learn it well, we need extra practice, such as reading English books, going to English corners, or communicating with foreigners.Only sitting at the desk cannot lead to the mastery of English.As another example, if we want to be skilled in using the computer, we also need to practice using it.Some children become little experts in computer, just because they play with it everyday.On the contrary, if we just stick to books, we will still feel confused when using computers.Judging from the evidence offered, we might safely draw the conclusion that practice makes perfect.1998年1月大学英语四级作文题目及范文

2.为什么有些人在该说“不”的时候不说“不”

3.该说“不”时不说“不”的坏处

[范文]Don’t Hesitate to Say “No”

In our daily life, there are many occasions on which we should not hesitate to refuse when asked for help.For one thing, when it is beyond our ability, we should give a direct reply “no”.For another, we the thing we are asked for is unreasonable or even illegal, we should say “no” without hesitation.However, it is not the case in our real life.Many people prefer to say “yes” when they should say “no”.Some are afraid to lose their face, since they think refusal means their inability.Some people are afraid to offend their acquaintances’ face, such as their friends, relatives and so on.In fact, doing so is quite harmful.If you agree to do the things beyond your ability, the result will only be worse.The other might as well have asked another person who can help.And if you agree to do the unreasonable or even the illegal favors, such as cheating in the exam, you are in fact not helping the other but hurting him.You yourself will get into trouble too.1999年6月作文题目及范文

1.有人认为读书要有选择

2.有人认为应当博览群书

3.我的看法

[范文]Reading Selectively Or Extensively?

Some people think when we read we should read selectively.That is to say, we should select some books we are interested in and ignore the others.Reading selectively can help us concentrate our limited time and attention on those selected books.Others think we should read extensively.No matter what kind of book it is, we should look it over.We should read various kinds of books, whether we are interested in them or not.They maintain that reading extensively can help to enlarge our view and grasp the general knowledge in different fields.In my opinion, the two reading ways have their roles respectively in our reading.However, the disadvantages of each methods are easy to see.If we only read the books we select or prefer, the framework of our knowledge may not be complete.Our knowledge would be rather limited.And if we read without selection, we may not have so much time and energy to be specialized in one particular field.Therefore, the combination of the two methods is more reasonable.2000年1月作文题目及范文

Several years ago new tuition fee policy was put into practice and college students were asked to pay a certain sum of money.And now, all the students, no matter what subjects they are engaged in, must pay for tuition.There are many ways for a student to finance his college education.Most students ask their parents to pay the tuition fee and pay for their books, accommodation and other cost.A student can also apply for the scholarship.Most universities set up scholarship to offer money to the poor students who do well in entrance exams and reward those who do well in entrance exams and reward those who work well at university.A student can also apply for the low-interest loans.In addition to the above, taking part-time jobs is also a common way for a college student to get money to pay part of his tuition and fees.So far as I’m concerned, I’d prefer earning the scholarship.This means I must study hard and be a top student, which has always been my goal.After all, the task of a student is to study.And in addition to solving my financial problems, getting the scholarship can also prove my ability and is good for my future.2001年1月作文题目及范文

Nowadays, in an ever tighter job market, great importance has been attached to an interview by both the employer and the applicant.The interview, so to speak, has become indispensable for getting a satisfactory job.On the one hand, the interviewer can take advantage of the occasion to learn about the candidates, such as their work experiences, education and their personalities, so as to pick out the right person for the company.On the other hand, the interviewee can make use of the opportunity to get to know the job he is going to take up, the salary, the working conditions and many other things about the job he is interested in.Therefore, the job interview is very important to a job-hunter.But how can one succeed in it? Firstly of all, the interviewee must pay attention to his or her appearance.The first impression is always where we start.Get dressed properly and neatly.Secondly, good manners are equally important.Don’t be too proud, and neither too timid.Just be courteous.Thirdly, the interviewee must demonstrate his aptitude and skills for the job and his knowledge about eh job-related areas.Be confident.Last but not the least, the interviewee ought to be honest about his or her personal as well as academic background, for honesty is the best policy.To sum up, the job interview is indeed important, but there is no need to be nervous.As long as the interviewee has the ability for the job, with careful preparation and a fairly confident and honest performance, his or her success can be ensured.2002年1月作文题目及范文

January 12th, 2002

Dear Mr.President，I’m very lucky to attend this world-famous university, but I’m afraid I’m not content with the canteen service on campus.Firstly, the quality of the dishes should be improved.Undoubtedly, there are a lot of delicious dishes, but all the year round, they are the same.More and more students are complaining about eating the same food each day.So I think the most urgent problem is variety.Secondly, the price is a bit too high.Many of us hope that the canteen can provide us with not only delicious but also cheaper food.Finally, the environment is so noisy that we can’t enjoy our meals in good mood.I suggest that there be some soft music to help us relax.These suggestions are not just of my own, but also of may other students.We hope our respectable president will pay attention to our suggestions.By the way, the canteen workers are very patient and always smiling.So I think

if our university offers them better conditions, they will offer us better service.Best wishes，Li Ming

2.诚实利人利已，做人应该诚实

[范文]It Pays to Be Honest

Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society.For example, some businessmen sell fake product to their consumers;some students cheat in the exams.Dishonest people are short-sighted.Those who sell fake products may make money at first, but consumers won’t buy their products any more.As a result, they will lose their fortune or even be sent to prison.By contrast, honest people gain a lot.Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust them but gain respect from other people as well.Such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends.Because they are trustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends with them, Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job.Generally speaking, every employer wants his employees to be honest.So we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later.In a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honor.So it is important that we should be honest.2003年6月作文题目及范文

My name is Liming.I am studying at college.A week ago I saw a traffic accident , which is still vivid in my mind.It was at about 9:00 on Saturday morning, June 15th, when I went out of the university to visit a friend of mine at another university.I was walking leisurely on the sidewalk when I heard a loud crash of two vehicles just at the T-junction about 10 meters away.Two taxis crashed together.It was a traffic accident.I went up and found that the two taxis were badly damaged.Both hoofs were out of shape.One door of a car was knocked off and lying on the road.One driver was blooding and another was shut in the taxi.Some people were trying to help the driver get out of the damaged car.One man was calling to the traffic policeman station.A lot of cars were jammed on the road.From the stopping track on the road, it is clear that the two taxis were driving too fast.But it is just one of the reasons.In my opinion, the taxi drivers are

eager to take more passengers and make a little more money.On the other hand, both drivers don’t show concern for one another.Both of them wanted to run in front of another.Therefore, the accident is inevitable.So far, we should let the drivers keep it in their mind that a little slower, a little safer.Taking care of other’s lives means taking care of your own life.2004年1月大学英语四级作文题目及范文

[参考作文]Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?

[参看范文一]

One can always find visitors taking pictures and enjoying the scenery in

university compus.During the May Day Holiday, National Day Holiday, summer and winter vacations, many University campuses become popular tourist sites.In my opinion, university campus should be open to tourists.In fact, there are many royal gardens and parks, all of them obviously better than the scenery in the Universities.Why do you think people prefer visiting here with their children? That is because it is a dream goal for many Chinese parents and young ambitious students.Besides this, as more tourists come to visit universities, these universities can widen their influence as well and they can also make some profit from the tourism.In a word, I think the university compus should be open to the tourists

[参看范文二]

In university compus, especially in some famous ones, such as Peking University and Qinghua University, tourists are always seen looking around everywhere.Although most of them visit with hope and repect, I think university compus should not be open to tourists.First, tourists' visit will disturb the normal teaching.They always get into teaching buildings, libraries and so on.They will make noise and throw rubbish everywhere.Second, some tourists trample grass to take photos, and sculpture on trees to leave words.These will affect the environment of the compus badly.The university is a holy place for study, not for tourism.So It should not be open.2006年6月作文及范文

The Spring Festival Evening Get-Together has been held in China for over two decades, which seems to have been an indispensable company during the traditional New Year’s Eve for a great number of people, who appear to be accustomed to enjoying the sights and sounds of a brilliant feast, while gathering with their beloved family.However, an increasing number of people have voiced different opinions towards it, as more diverse life styles have emerged nowadays.Some prefer to go to a fancy restaurant to enjoy a gourmet meal;some intend to go on a vacation to an incredibly exotic destination for a novel and thorough relaxation;others may have even more post-modern notions, like go bunging, hiking, or cycling for entirely new different experiences, forgetting all about the Spring Festival.To me, the Evening Get-Together is supposed to be here to stay.It may not remain a must for all people, but it can bring us a strong sense of festivity and serve as an alternative among the variety of holiday activities.Besides, with such a gathering, family members will have a perfect opportunity to enjoy more fun and happiness, for nowadays most people are so engaged in their daily businesses that they can rarely find any extra time to stay with their family, which, if not properly adjusted, might add further to the already worsening situation of the values of Chinese families.2007年12月作文及范文

[参考范文]

范文一

Nowadays, there usually exists a wide selection of electives for college students to choose from.However, students have quite different plans for their future so they always end up learning courses based on their own ideas.Some students may choose to learn a certain course in order to obtain an extra certificate for their job hunting after graduation.Because they assume that some more knowledge could ensure more chances of winning in finding a good job.Others may have their choice made just for fun.They tend to hold the idea that college life could be more colorful if they could widen their knowledge through elective courses.As far as I’m concerned, I’m inclined to choose electives based on both the value of the courses and the interest of my own.范文二

Nowadays many college students prefer to have electives in their spare time because the courses can offer a variety of skills and abundant knowledge apart from what they learn in the daily courses.There are many factors that may account for it, and the following are the most conspicuous aspects.To start with, many students want to get another degree besides their own, so that they can have more competence when they seek a job.Furthermore, as for me, I don’t care about degree or job, I just want to obtain some necessary skills to make my college life worthwhile.What I’m concerned most is how to own more skills that may be necessary for my future.Finally, some students want to learn anything that is different from what they are learning now.The science students, for example, want to know about Shakespeare while the art students want to tell how a vehicle works and how to deal with it when it breaks down.So, they can all get what they think is useful to their college life.On the whole, the phenomenon is one of the results of multi-demand of the employment market.There is still a long way for us to improve the elective itself, but as a student myself, I find it rewarding and interesting.范文三

What Electives To Choose

With the reform of Chinese higher education, more and more colleges and universities put emphasis on nurturing students’ abilities.As a result, elective courses are available not only for excellent academic performers but also for students about the average level.Certainly, students have different reasons to choose their own electives.For some, practical skills are the essence of college education, and therefore, courses on computer science, marketing, and finance are highly preferred.On the other hand, others may hold the idea of liberal education and electives concerning literature, history, and philosophy are the most welcome.Take me as an example: being a disciple of free education, I stand for the notion that university is not a place for survival skills, but a palace of knowledge and critical reasoning.Although my major is chemistry, the electives I attend most frequently are English literature, an Introduction to Classic Music, and Different Schools of Western Painting.They really widen my horizon.Free admission to museums

Nowadays, an increasing number of museums are admission-free to visitors home and abroad.The hidden reason behind this is not hard to analyze as there’s a growing awareness for the authorities regarding the urgency of popularization of culture, knowledge and history with every average person in our society.Only with free access to this live ‘database’, can most people fully enjoy what museums could offer to them.However, free admission to museums might lead to some social problems as well.The most obvious problem is that it might give museums a very heavy economic burden which directly impedes the sustainable development of these organizations.As a result, our government has to work out other ways to collect funds from different

channels, which might be difficult to operate or control.On the other hand, free admission attracts too many visitors, some of which might not be well-purposed and do some conscious or unconscious damage to the valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved in the museums.As a university student, I am in favor of the free-admission conduct.Yet it is proposed that some measures should be taken to solve the potential problems caused by it.For example, museums can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some ‘closed’ days for museums for regular maintenance.Only in this way can free-admission to museums become a long-lasting phenomenon and have sustainable development.2010年

How Should Parents Help Children to be Independent

Nowadays, there is a growing concern over such a phenomenon, that is, some parents take care of almost everything concerned with their children, including study, work, marriage.Some parents believe that this is love, however, it is only to destroy

children’s independence thoroughly.For the future of the next generation, more efforts should be made by parents to help their children to be independent.The fundamental one is to cultivate the awareness, namely, the importance and necessity of being independent, which is supposed to begin from childhood.Children should be taught that no one can be stronger and more helpful than themselves in this world.The quality of independence is so indispensable for us that parents had better act as a tutor, not a dictator.And only with parents’ trust, can the next generation accumulate confidence step by step.In recent days, we have to face a problem-----A, which is becoming more and more serious.--------(说明A的现状)．

Online Shopping

Nowadays, with the rapid development of information technology, online shopping has gained great popularity among more and more web users.For example, it is fashionable for youngsters to purchase daily essentials, such as books, clothes, electrical equipment, on some famous website, like Taobao, EBay and Alibaba.Undoubtedly speaking, online shopping has many advantages.Firstly, compared with traditional shopping, it’s very convenient.What you need to do is just clicking your mouse and waiting instead of going out by foot or driving.Secondly, more choices than real store are another attraction to customers.However, in spite of convenience and more choices of online shopping, we cannot turn a blind eye to its disadvantages.Obviously, quality problem is its first disadvantage.It’s common that articles aren’t so good just as they are described online that customers always buy fake commodities.In addition, it’s troublesome and annoying for many customers to make a change when they are not satisfied with what they bought online.As a college student, I like online shopping but I expected that effective measures should be taken to make it better。Specifically speaking, government should work out strict regulations and rules to prevent unfaithful and unlawful activities of online shop owners.Only by this way can online shopping become really safe and attract an increasing number of customers.

How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent?

It is nothing unusual to find overprotective parents who help their children in all aspects of life.The question is, are they sure their heart loaded with love will bring good to their children? Let’s look at the real situation of the second-rich generation.Some of them, rather than becoming the second-strong generation, becomes the defeated generation which is notorious for their life focused on consumption rather than creation.Because of the changes of education in history, most Chinese parents, though successfully accumulate wealth, don’t know much about the right value they should pass on to the new generation.They have tried all that they can to be good parents while neglecting the core value they should address, which is INDEPENDENCE.（2）2010年12月大学英语四级考试作文范文范文

How should parents help children to be independent?

They should give their children the freedom to make choices for themselves.Children cannot be happy if they don’t have control over their life, which in daily life, means they make choices for themselves, like, what to eat, what to wear, what career to do, what kind of spouse they are going to marry.Some parents may be open-minded enough to let their children to make these tiny decisions about food and clothes, but when it comes to the big ones, they are too anxious to let their children have a try.They used to be young and they made mistakes and now it is their sons and daughters’ turn to be young—the deep love and care is so intense that it becomes even suffocating--they are reluctant to give their children opportunities to start to be responsible for their own lives.2011年6月英语四级作文题目

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.范文

Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

Sometimes, in our daily life, the easiest thing might be the most difficult thing, as in the case of some people trying to quit smoking for hundreds of times and still making endless efforts without any hope of success.The reason for their failure is their lack of a strong will。

In our modern world, nothing is simple and straightforward.Something might appear deceptively easy at first, but as we proceed on, we will find that it is actually extremely difficult.Therefore, we must take whatever we do seriously and be mentally prepared to make our utmost exertions.When we encounter obstacles and setbacks, we must apply our strong willpower and persevere until we finally succeed。

For us university students, in our academic studies or in our daily life on campus, we might not be faced with insurmountable challenges.But we need to get prepared, right now, to take things seriously, try to cultivate our strong will, and be ready to pursue our goals through persistence and indefatigable will.I believe it’s the only way we can achieve our success。

Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

Success depends on many factors, both physical and spiritual.In my opinion, mental factors like a strong will are far more decisive in enabling us to achieve success.For example, despite our repeated efforts to quit smoking, our lack of a strong will would still cause us to end up in failure。

In any of our undertakings, we should first set a goal.Some goals are highly challenging.Without a strong will, people would give up in the middle and they fail to achieve their goals.For those people who do succeed, they succeed simply because they have that mental stamina which enables them to challenge even the most insurmountable difficulties。

We often say that ‘Impossible is Nothing’.To make the impossible possible, we must exercise our perseverance and strong willpower.Or, as an English proverb goes, ‘If there is a will, there is a way.’ Our world is becoming increasingly competitive and only by making strong-willed efforts can we maximize our full potential and gain competitive edges, and prevail over all obstacles that lie in our way to success。

On Excessive Packaging

In recent years, with the economy growing, all kinds of goods are flowing into our life.The packaging of goods becomes more and more attracting our eyes.However, the problem of excessive packaging has aroused people’s wide concern.This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons.For one thing, the business has seen through the mind of most consumers who are face-saving, for they thought that the more beautiful the packaging of goods is, the best people like.For another thing, excessive packaging can make the majority of merchants get high profit for the cheap commodity by improving price.Perhaps the primary reason lies that the form far outweighs the content.In my opinion, it is more advisable to focus on the quality of goods than to decorate its appearance.So, it is urgent that immediate measures should be taken to stop the situation.Only in this way can we reduce unnecessary waste and have a rational and pure shopping condition, making our money worthwhile.2012年12月英语四级作文题目

发布的“教育回报”数据表

Education pays教育回报(暂定)

图表说明：全英文，无中文翻译和提示

Education Pays, published every three years, presents detailed evidence of the private and public benefits of higher education.It also sheds light on the distribution of these benefits by examining both the increases and the persistent disparities in college participation and completion.In the three years between the publication of Education Pays 2007 and Education Pays 2010, median earnings for four-year college graduates increased more rapidly than those of high school graduates and the gap between the unemployment rates of the two groups grew.In addition to earnings comparisons, the report documents differences in lifestyles, health, and other outcomes for people with and without college education.Differences in enrollment and completion patterns across demographic groups highlight the reality that gaps in educational attainment are explained by a combination of money and other factors.小虹翻译：教育回报，每隔三年发布一次。它显示了高等教育所能带来的私人和公共利益的详细的证据。同时，通过考查大学入学与毕业方面的增长和长期的差异，它也阐明了由高等教育带来的这些利益的分布状况。在2007年和2009年教育回报发布后的中间三年，受过四年大学教育的高校毕业生的平均收入的增长要快于高中毕业生，并且，这两者间的失业率的差距也加大了。除了收入对比之外，这份报告也显示了是否拥有大学学历给人们的生活方式，健康和其他因素造成的差异。人群的教育入学和教育完成模式(是否上大学、是否大学顺利毕业)的差异强调了一个事实，那就是，教育程度的不同所带来的差距，是可以通过收入和其他多种因素来解释的。

From the bar chart given above, we can observe that it reflects the statistics of income among people of different educational background.Those who possess a doctoral degree earn 1,551dollars median weekly, ranking first among people of other education level.The median weekly earnings of people with associate degree and below can not reach the average of 797 dollars, ranking from 768 dollars to 451 dollars.As for the unemployment rate, 2.5 % of people with doctoral degree will suffer form unemployment.However, the unemployment rate of people with some college, no degree and lower degree surpass the mean value of7.6%, ranking from 8.7% to 14.1%.The bar chart of Education Pays reveals a phenomenon that there exits some difference in incomes and unemployment rate among people with different educational level.Quite a few reasons can account for this phenomenon: for one thing, with the advancement of technology and the adjustment of industrial structure, quite a few high-tech industries emerge overnight, which leads to a soar demand of workforces with high educational degree, thus, it is natural that graduates with bachelor’ and higher degree get a high pay-packet and enjoy a stable job.Additionally, those with educational background under associate degree are easily dismissed and paid by low salary.They can be replaced any time due to the fact that their jobs are easy and can be finished by average people.Definitely, the higher education degree you get, the more likely you are to enjoy a competitive edge in the employment market.Thus, the authorities should enforce some policies to ensure the equity of education.Only in this way can more people lead a stable and comfortable life.2013年6月英语四级作文题目

For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay.You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your views on the importance of doing small things before undertaking something big.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.烈日炎炎，轰轰烈烈，2013年6月15日，小千万中国大学生参加的四六级考试今日开始。

上午的四级考试，最大的亮点之一，就是写作。亮点在于其命题形式：图画作文。

我在北京新东方的面授班(四级写作点睛班)上曾讲解图画作文，分析，在2012年6月16日，六级考察了图画作文，而当时，图画作文出现在六级也是第一次;目前，四级已经考察了图表作文，考研考的题，六级都没有考过;因此这么推论分析，也可能这次四级轮到图画作文了 —— 考研考过，六级考过，就剩你四级了!

图画的内容和构图不难：父亲和男孩子的对话，孩子说“ Dad，I am a bit worried about disposing ofnuclear weapon.(爸爸，我有点担心清除核武器这个问题)”，父亲则回答“ If you can empty the dustbin, you can doanything.(如果你能把垃圾桶倒掉，你就能坐好任何事情)”，说话间，手指着垃圾桶。

这幅图画和2012年6月的六级漫画作文非常相似，当时的图中，也是两人对话，女儿和父亲。父亲问女儿：“ Hi, sweetie, how was your school today ?(嘿，小甜心，你在今天在学校过得怎么样?)” 女儿非常冷漠的回答：“Dad,youcan read all about it on my blogs.(爹哋，你自己可以在我的博客上读到所有内容)”，然后呢，女儿拔腿出门，留下父亲一脸惊愕。

说回这个四级的作文题。

作文的第一段，要进行简单描绘图画内容，这是必须的，也是题目中强制要求的(a brief description of the picture)。描述的时候，只要把父子两的对话移植到第一段，然后把父亲手指垃圾桶的动作描绘一下就可以了，非常简单。

作文的第二段，进行主旨提炼并且论述。这幅图画很容易看出主题，那就是做大事之前，要先做小事(一屋不扫，何以扫天下),而且题目中其实早就已经透露了主题了(express your views on the importance ofdoing small things before undertaking something big.)因此，第二段通篇论述小事做起的重要性就可以了。属于我在课堂上讲过的作文三大分类之“积极主题，论述意义”

作文第三段，总结。这一段再次强调小事做起的意义，我们不能低估他的威力。文章最后可以以名人名言作为结尾。请看范文：

We can see from the cartoon that there is a father talking with his son.Havingheard his son’s words that “ Dad, I am a bit worried about disposing of nuclearweapon.” The father replies that “ If you can empty the dustbin here, you cando anything” and points the garbage can beside him.Funny and common as the conversation sounds, it reflects that the father intends to advise his son to do small things beforeundertaking big.Definitely, doing small things is the first step of success and will lay root for doing something big.By doing something small, we are able to accumulate experience, master skills and train ourselves to be more patient.In other words, we can be well prepared for further challenges in the course of fulfilling small things.By contrast, those who desire to do something big at once will constantly be haunted by disappointment, frustrations or even failures, as with opportunities-“something big”-showing up , they can hardly seize them because of the lack of experience and confidence stems from doing small things.Taking the picture presented above as a case in point, how can the little boy succeed in disposing of nuclear weapons if he even doesn’t know how to empty the dustbin?

From my perspective, under no circumstances should we undervalue the power of doing small things.Instead, we should regard small things as the source of experience, skills and the prerequisite of success.“Great achievement only belongs to those who can do small things perfectly.” Aristotle also used to say.范文译文：

如图所示，我们可以看见有一位父亲正在和他的儿子聊天。当父亲听到儿子说：“ 爸爸，我有点担心如何处理核武器这个问题” 的时候，父亲指着身边的垃圾桶，并且回答道：“ 如果你可以把垃圾桶倒掉，你就可以做到任何事情”。

尽管这段父子对话听起来滑稽、普通，然而他折射出父亲的意图，想劝告儿子在做大事之前，要先做好小事。很明显，做好小事情是成功的第一步，并且能为将来的大事情打下基础。通过做小事情，我们可以积累经验，掌握技能，并且让我们自己变得更加具有耐心。换句话说，我们可以在做小事情的过程中，为将来的大事情做好充分准备。相反的，哪些想要一上来就做大事情的人，通常会遭受失望、挫折甚至是失败，因为当机会这些“大事情”出现的时候，这部分人基本无法抓住机会，因为他们缺少源自于做小事过程当中的经验和自信。以所给的这幅图画为例，如果这个男孩都不知道如何倾倒垃圾桶，他怎么可能做成功处理核武器这样的大事呢?

在我看来，任何时候我们都不应该轻视做小事的威力。取而代之的是，我们应该将小事情视为经验、技能的源泉，和成功的先决条件。亚里士多德也曾经说过：“ 伟大的成就，只属于那些能够将小事情做到完美的人”。

As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings.This sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters.What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long existed in today's China.That is the mobile phone obsession.With the advent of information age, people are becoming increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell phones.Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones.It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people, and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationship are reinforced by sincere and face-to-face communication.2014年6月英语四级作文题目：

The Most Beneficial Activity in My Campus

It is well known that university is greatly different from high school mainly due to that university will hold a large number of activities, which benefits college students a lot.From my perspective, the most beneficial one is “Long-distance Running for Love” organized by the Students Union when I am a freshman.The money collected by this activity is contributed to Project Hope.It is really my honor to participate the long running, because it benefits me greatly not only in body but also in mind.To begin with, the activity reminds me of the great importance of physical health.Before I go to college, I only focus on academic achievements while the physical health misses my attention.But, the long-running tells me in time that a sound mind lies in a sound body.Additionally, during my participation in this activity, I am informed well that there are still many children in rural areas who have to drop out of school because of impoverished families.Thus, for one thing, I fully realize the great importance of helping them fulfill their dreams.For another thing, I cherish the opportunity to study in university more, for when compared with those children in poverty-stricken areas, we should harbor a grateful heart.By and large, although I have taken part in many campus activities, I deem the long running for love most beneficial to me.And I am looking forward to that more wonderful and meaningful activities will be held in our campus.范文译文：

众所周知，大学与高中截然不同，主要原因是大学里会举办很多校园活动，而这些大学活动使大学生受益匪浅。我认为最有益的校园活动是大一时，由学生会举办的“爱心长跑”。这次长跑筹集的善款用于捐助希望工程。

我很荣幸参加了这次长跑，因为这次活动使我的身心都获得了很大裨益。首先，这次活动提醒我身体健康的重要性。在我上大学前，我只关心自己的学习成绩，而忽视了健康。但是，这次长跑及时提醒我——健康的身体孕育健康的灵魂。此外，通过参加此次长跑，我深刻了解到还有许多偏远山区的小孩因为家庭贫困被迫辍学。因此，一方面我充分意识到帮助这些小孩实现梦想是何其重要;另一方面，我更珍惜自己能上大学的机会。因为，和那些贫困地区的小孩相比，我们应该怀有一颗感恩的心。

总体而言，虽然我参加过许多校园活动，但是我认为这次爱心长跑最为有益。我也期待有更多精彩而有意义的校园活动举行。

2.分析产生这些变化的原因

3.说明这些变化对个人和社会产生的影响?

as is shown in the table above, dramatic changes have taken place in family expenses in the city of shanghai within two decades(from 1980 to 2000).the most obvious change is in expense on food and clothing, which has dropped by 48%, while those on recreation, education and health care have increased respectively by 5%, l6% and l0%.expenses on other things keep rising from 17% to 35%.the statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but are in fact closely related to one another.the most likely factors accounting for these changes are as follows:

development in economy is the fundamental one.the increased income results in the lowering percentage of food and clothing.that is to say, a small percentage of the total income is enough to cover food and clothing expenses.another factor lies in the development of people’s concept.when people are well fed and well dressed, they begin to interest themselves in recreation and education.these changes should also be attributed to social reforms.in the 1990 s, college education was not totally free as it was before, which also accounts for the rising expenses on education.soon after, the government gradually stopped offering houses to its citizens without charges.people had to save a large proportion of their money for housing.that’s partly why the expenses for others doubled.as for the more expenses on health care, i figure there are two main reasons: the cancellation of free medical care and people’s awareness of the importance of health.the changes reflect the development of the city and indicate that people are enjoying more.9.on space project

The approach of the Chinese Lunar New Year poses a national issue concerning the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.Its established status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by younger generations.It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes.Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other programs.These young people focus their attention on other forms of celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV.Despite that, the majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the importance of the traditional performance.The most striking feature of this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary people's lives.Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional Chinese Spring Festival Eve.They all have a restless night and glue their eyes on the television.I am not supportive of the view that the grand gala should be abandoned.Undoubtedly, it plays a vital role in the celebration of Chinese New Year.To increase its appeal and meet young adults' need, the upcoming performance should invite some big names including super stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan.We are all eagerly anticipating this unforgettable evening show.2007年6月四级作文题目

What Electives to Choose

1、各大学开设了各种各样的选修课。

2、学生因为各种原因选择了不同的选修课。

3、以你自己为例……

With the reform of Chinese higher education, more and more colleges and universities put emphasis on nurturing students’ abilities.As a result, elective courses are available not only for excellent academic performers but also for students about the average level.Certainly, students have different reasons to choose their own electives.For some, practical skills are the essence of college education, and therefore, courses on computer science, marketing, and finance are highly preferred.On the other hand, others may hold the idea of liberal education and electives concerning literature, history, and philosophy are the most welcome.Take me as an example: being a disciple of free education, I stand for the notion that university is not a place for survival skills, but a palace of knowledge and critical reasoning.Although my major is chemistry, the electives I attend most frequently are English literature, an Introduction to Classic Music, and Different Schools of Western Painting.They really widen my horizon.channels, which might be difficult to operate or control.On the other hand, free admission attracts too many visitors, some of which might not be well-purposed and do some conscious or unconscious damage to the valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved in the museums.As a university student, I am in favor of the free-admission conduct.Yet it is proposed that some measures should be taken to solve the potential problems caused by it.For example, museums can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some “closed” days for museums for regular maintenance.Only in this way can free-admission to museums become along-lasting phenomenon and have sustainable development.09.12四级考试作文题目：

On one hand, the environmental protection is essential and undeniable, which is the premise to this concept.On the other hand, it is far from enough to meet the overall goals of green campus to simply maintain green environment.Instead, it also requires the construction of active cultural atmosphere among all the staff and students by our mutual efforts.Therefore, in order to create green campus, first, it is necessary that everyone consider themselves as the host of our campus and be aware of the inspirations green house has brought to us.More importantly, actions need to be taken to achieve the aims.Last but not least, we can spread the spirit to a wider area to call upon more people to join this promising project.10.06四级考试作文题目：

Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling

1.如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视拼写 2.出现这种现象的原因是… 3.为了改变这种状况，我认为….Nowadays, students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study.This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon.First, exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling.Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching.Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it.As for me, I think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help students pay more attention to spelling.Then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance.Finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word spelling.Only by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.10.12四级考试作文题目：

On Excessive Packaging

1.In recent years, with the economy growing, all kinds of goods are flowing into our life.The packaging of goods becomes more and more attracting our eyes.However, the problem of excessive packaging has aroused people’s wide concern.This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons.For one thing, the business has seen through the mind of most consumers who are face-saving, for they thought that the more beautiful the packaging of goods is, the best people like.For another thing, excessive packaging can make the majority of merchants get high profit for the cheap commodity by improving price.Perhaps the primary reason lies that the form far outweighs the content.In my opinion, it is more advisable to focus on the quality of goods than to decorate its appearance.So, it is urgent that immediate measures should be taken to stop the situation.Only in this way can we reduce unnecessary waste and have a rational and pure shopping condition, making our money cost worthwhile

2.Excessive Packaging

In this highly commercialized society, the merchants have been making all the effects to add to the attraction of their products.The phenomenon is extremely prevalent that the packages themselves cost much more than the goods in them.Therefore, consumers in growing numbers express serious concerns over this problem.There are several factors that can account for this phenomenon.To begin with, numerous people buy the goods in attractive packages as gifts for their friends, parents, and leaders.In this case, extravagant packages can assist them to demonstrate their care, respect, and loyalty.Moreover, the market has been saturated with homogeneous products.In order to differentiate their products from those of others’ quickly and directly, the manufacturers are more than willing to invest in the packaging.Additionally, the sellers may employ the vivid and exquisite packages as the tactic to appeal to their consumers, who focus no attention on the prices but the psychological satisfaction from the admirable looks from their friends, even the passers-by, when they walk on the street with an eye-catching and flamboyant packages in their hands.（从买家、制造商和卖家三方面各提供一

at least 120 words but no more than 180 words

Literature is acknowledged as the most precious product of human civilization and wisdom, especially by our teachers.So they always ask their students to read as many as literary works.Just as the drawing shown above, a teacher gives a literary work to her student, saying: “Just think of it as if you’re reading a long text-message.”

It is of great significance for us to appreciate literature due to the following reasons.Firstly, a good literature can get you to know a life experience through the eyes of someone other than yourself.The more experience you gain, the more knowledgeable you are.Secondly, a good literature allows you to learn about history in a personalized way.The stories told in the works can act as mirrors and help you adjust your own behaviors.Lastly, a good literature is an effective way for relaxation.The beautiful and moving scenes shown in the literature are helpful for one’s mental health.In short, literature is indispensable in our life.We, students, should catch our time to read more literatures.【总评】

本次四级作文探讨的话题是文学阅读的重要性。这个话题是十分常见，对考生来说难度不大。要写好这篇作文，需要注意以下三点：一，对图片做出描述;二，在评论的基础上要亮出自己的观点;三，尽量避免语法错误。

参考作文：大学生在校从商,创业,好不好?是学业重要,还是社会经历重要?说说你身边的例子.范文参考1：Nowadays, college students going in for business become more and more popular in campus, even many college students think that is very fashionable.As to this trend, different people have different views.For me, every coin has two sides, thus college students going in for business has advantages as well as disadvantages, but advantages outweigh the disadvantages.As a college student, I think taking part in business when we still in college has following advantages.Firstly, doing business can develop our communication and management abilities.From purchase to sell, students must communicate with many different people, such as wholesalers and customers, so we can learn many communication skills from this process.Students also have to make some market researches to decide what we will go in for;we should find out wholesalers who can cooperate stably with us;how we set price;how we promote and so on.See, students’ communication and management skills can be developed from above things.2.The importance of learning basic skills

We can see that in this picture, a teacher is teaching her pupils to deal with arithmetic questions, but some of them think that learning these mathematical skills is useless.They argue that by the time they are in the job market, these skills will be outdated.As to whether it is important to learn basic skills, people hold different views.As far as I know, it is very important for one student to acquire basic skills.At first, mastering basic skills well can lay a solid foundation for learning advanced skills.Basic skills are a floor, not a ceiling.Students must learn them first so that they can move on to various advanced skills.What’s more, learning basic skills helps to improve confidence and enhance self-esteem.Individuals with basic skills are likely to be more confident and active.All in all, if we want to keep progressing, it is important to learn basic skills well.By mastering basic skills and learning new things, we will have a bright future!

3.As what is vividly shown in the picture, many college students have the same doubt as the one in the picture that is whether that stuff will be outdated when they graduated and began to work.That stuff, as we can see from the picture, refers to the basic learning skills such as mathematics we learned when we were in primary

Internet does exert such a profound effect on our life that it revolutionizes the way of people’s living and thinking.As is subtly revealed in the portrayal，there are two parents sitting in the front of computer，who are chatting with their child on the internet.What a meaningful picture!

From my perspective, the electronic contact cannot replace face to face communication owing to the following factors.To begin with, over-reliance on electronic contact will damage the interpersonal relationship, for the cold machine never replaces a warm-hearted greeting face to face.For example, the aged parents would like their only son who works far away home to come back home more often rather than to talk with him on the internet occasionally.What’s more, face to face communication is preferable because it is beneficial to build a harmonious society, for it attaches more importance on human affection and feelings instead of convenience and speed.Hence, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way.After all, Internet is invented to connect you and me, and to bring conveniences to our life rather than set a barrier to keep people beyond reach.If we want to keep our interpersonal relationship more effectively, we should spend more time with them face to face in real life.Only in this way can we not only make full use of the communication tool on the net but also make our relationship tighter.1.As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings.This sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters.What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long existed in today's China.That is the mobile phone obsession.With the advent of information age, people are becoming increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell phones.Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones.It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people, and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we individuals should raise the

As is vividly shown above, a teacher and a pupil stand in front of a blackboard, talking about the relation of internet and education.The pupil, holding a smart-phone in his hand, questions whether he needs any other education or not, with the mastery of Google.While the Internet has greatly impacted how to learn, education doesn’t simply means learning to acquire information because of the following two factors.On one hand, education is very inclusive, so leaning to obtain message is usually a part of it.If we overemphasize students’ ability of acquiring information, we will fail to educate the young to be developed fully.On the other hand, it is only a passive way of learning to obtain information, which do not parallel to creative thinking that is essential for education.Thus, while putting emphasis on education, we should cultivate the youngsters’ awareness of obtaining the knowledge in many aspects rather than just by the internet.Only in this way, can our society be more harmonious;can our economy be more prosperous, and we, as individuals, embrace more promising perspective.3-
