第二篇：历年四级写作真题

专四辅导之便条写作

（一）便条的写作

便条是一种简单的书信形式。要求考生仔细阅读和分析所给的情景，确定便条所涉及的内容，如写便条者与便条接收者的身份、两者之间的关系及情景的正式程度等。

便条的特点在于内容简短，大多是临时性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。与正规书信相比，便条的语言更为口语化，比如要通知某事只需这样开头：Just a line to tell you that...而无须像正规书信那样This is to inform you that...开头。有急事需要告诉别人而又不能面谈时，就可以写便条，如请假条、留言条等。一般不写地址，与普通书信基本相同。结尾时也无需要结尾礼词，只需要写上便条者姓名。

便条的日期通常写在右上角，一般只要写上星期几，也可以写明上午、下午的具体时间；日常应用中，写上几月几日的也很普遍。但一般不写年份，因为便条的内容多半是当日或近日内要办的事情。

便条具有用途广泛、形式简单、文字要求不十分严格的特点。

基本写作格式

便条内容和类型不尽相同，可以灵活变通。但必须包括以下四个基本要素； 1）Date：便条日期2）Salutation：称呼3）Body：正文 4）Signature：署名

注意事项

1.词句简洁，尽量避免应酬语和敬词 2.切忌内容空洞、言不达意。分类举例

1）请假（Asking for Leave）

例1 Directions: You are about to write a Business Leave Note of about 100 words.Please describe the information clearly.1)the reason you ask for the leave 2)the time and how long you will leave

Aug.22nd Secretary Li, I’m sorry to apply for ten days’ leave from the Aug.23rd to sept.3rd instant.As I have to leave with the time is urgent.My father now in the hospital is badly ill.I have to go to see him and take care of him for a few days.You know I’m the only child in my family.Of course I will show you the telegram about my father’s illness which is received from my mother to support my application.As concern as the missed lessons during my absence, I promise I will do my best to catch them on after I come back to the campus.Wish for your allowance.Yours respectfully，××× 本文是一封请假条，一般我们要向上级或老师请假，通常用的是ask for leave这个短语，请三天假可写作：ask for three days’ leave;因病请假则是ask for sick leave.leave在这里是名词用法，文中用的短语是apply for意为“申请”，含有更加郑重的意味，常用于下级对上级或晚辈对长辈的书面语中，“Only child”意为“独生子女”相应的，“独生女”译作“only daughter”而“独生子”译作“only son”.As concern as后面跟名词性结构，意为“涉及到，至于”与Concerning同义，两者可以互换。

例2 Directions: Your father is seriously ill, and you want to go back home.Write a note to the secretary and it should include 1)the cause for leaving;2)the days: from 16th to 21st;3)Catch on the lesson after returning school.July 5th Dear Miss Huang, My sister called me last night, and she said that my father is dangerously ill.I beg to apply for seven days’ leave of absence from 16th to 21st instant, in order that I can see my beloved father.I should be much obliged if you would grant me my application.As regards the lessons to be missed during my absence, I will do my best to make up for them as soon as I get back from home.Sincerely yours，××× I should be much obliged if you would...是一种客套语，表示“……，我当不胜感激。”“补课”的英文是to make up for the lessons。2)约请(Invitation)Directions: You have a ticket to the Russian National Ballet Troupe, which is visiting and you want to give it to your friend Alice.Write a note to her and say: 1)the time of the show, 2)the place where you will wait for her.Sunday Dear Alice, Here is a piece of good news for you.The Russian National Ballet Troupe, which is now on a visit in Beijing, will give a performance in the Beijing Grand Theater tomorrow evening.I am sure that you will be happy to watch it.Here I leave you an admission card.The performance will begin at seven o’clock sharp.I will wait for you at the theater entrance.Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming or not.××× 约朋友一起去看戏，可是朋友不在家，只好留下票子和一张便条，但又怕朋友来不了，所以在便条最后特地写上“如果你来不了，告诉我一声”（Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming）3)道歉（Apology）

人非圣贤，孰能无过。在社会交往中，人们常常会出现一些疏忽、过失等。如果发生此类事情，就会给对方带来麻烦和不便。为了避免误解，不影响感情，在这种情况下，应写信给对方予以解释，以请求谅解。此类信要写得及时，态度要诚恳，用词需谦逊。一般在信一开始就向对方表示歉意或内疚，然后说明原因并提出补救的办法。

例1 Directions: You have missed a date of your friend, now you have to write a letter for appologization in about 100 words.May 20th Dear Lily, I am sorry I missed seeing you yesterday.I know that you must have been disappointed.I also feel worried and anxious in my heart.The fact is that my manager at the last moment asked me to prepare a urgent plan while I could not get to a phone to call you and yesterday I have worked late until about 8:30 p.m.I am terribly sorry.However, I would like to ask you out this weekend to make up for yesterday.Please give me a chance and I am waiting for your reply.××× 临时有事未能赴约，一定要把事情解释清楚并真诚的道歉，最好能有弥补（to make up），邀请对方周末再碰头（I would like to ask you out this weekend）注意句子you must have been disappointed中情态动词的用法：情态动词+完成时态，表示过去行为。这句话应该理解为“你当时一定感到很失望”。

例2 Directions: You have received a invitation from your friend, but you have already had some guests in your house.Please express the reason you can’t go clearly in about 100 words.6.April Dear Lucy, I do apologize for having to send this letter about Saturday night.When I accepted your invitation, I simply forgot that Saturday was a holiday and that my own guests were not leaving until Sunday morning.It is difficult for me to make a choice.Though I also wonder to meet you very much.I could not very well go out by myself and leave the guests at my home.I hope you know how sorry I am not to be with you this Saturday.Should I make a visit to you in my other spare time? Thank you very much.××× 自己家里有客人，自然不方便再接受别人邀请去做客所以可以明正言顺的表示拒绝或可另约时间。英文要强调谓语动词，可以加上助动词，例如：I do apologize for being late.例3 Directions: You are already have a date with your friend but suddenly have another thing to do and you have to tell your friend that you can’t go.Express your reason clearly in about 100 words.Monday 9:00 am Dear Jane, I am sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to come this afternoon because I have to go to the airport at 2:00 p.m.to meet an overseas visitor from Australia.I really have kept our date in my mind all these days, however, I received my boss’s e-mail this morning, he asked me to go to the airport to meet one of his friends from abroad, it’s urgent and I must go.Please forgive me.Would you please ring me up to make another time? Many thanks.××× 因有事而不能赴约，只能另约时间（to make或to fix another time）。英国人一般把“打电话”说成to ring somebody up，还可以说 to give somebody a ring，不要错以为别人要送你个戒指。美国人通常说to call somebody。与别人已经定好的约会却临时不能赴约时，应说明原因并诚恳地道歉，以期获得别人的谅解。4）借物(Borrowing)Directions: You are going to write a note for borrowing sth.Please describe these information clearly 1)the thing you ask 2)what you are going to do with it 3)how long will you take it.Tuesday Dear Xiao Wang, I wonder if I could borrow your electronic dictionary for a few days.Now I am translating some important articles.There are many new words which I have to look up the dictionary usually.I just have a paper dictionary but of course it’s not as convenient as the electronic one, which has a bad effect upon my velocity of my translating.So I think your electronic dictionary is more suitable for me to complete my work.I promise that I must be very careful of your dictionary and make no damage done on it.Thank you very much!

Yours ever，××× 字典是我们日常生活中常用的学习工具，但千万不能从字面上认为“查字典”就是“check the dictionary”，而应该用“look up”这个固定短语来表达。“影响……”有一个很地道的短语。“have effect upon/on”,如果是积极影响就在have和effect之间加a good，反之，就加“a bad”其他的形容词例如great，remarkable也可以用来修饰effect，此词在这里是名词。5）回复友人问候(Reply for Regards)Directions: You have just had an operation, and received a note of regards from your friend Jenny.Now please write a reply to her to tell her your current situation.Jan.8th.Dear Jenny, Thanks for your letter of sympathy I received the day before yesterday.The operation on my leg was a wonderful success.You know I had been suffering a lot from my leg since my childhood.The operation removed the cause of trouble.It is quite worth having the operation.I am daily recovering from my illness.I’m confident I will soon be in the office again after proper treatment.Thank you for kind wishes.My best wishes to all your family

××× 这是对好友问候便条的回复。形式简单，内容明了。过去完成进行时“I had been suffering…my childhood”表示动作从过去一直持续到现在。便条写作中的语言表达：

中国人与西方人看问题的方法的确在许多方面存在着差异，而且这种差异的的确确在束缚着中国学生，成为他们英文写作中的拦路虎，使他们不能准确而简洁地表达思想。

比如写下面一则便条，因母亲突然生病，周末你不能和汤姆去跳舞了，你找了舞跳得很好的时黛来代替你，并表示抱歉。

July 6

Dear Tom，I am sorry to inform you that I won't be able to go to dance with you this weekend．My mother is suddenly taken ill．In order not to disappoint you，I have asked Shi Dai to take my place．She is a better dancer，I think．

My regrets．

Joe 从便条中可看出，英语表达先“果”—I won't be able to go to dance with you this weekend后“因”—my mother is suddenly taken ill，即所谓“先果后因”。

一般来说，在单个句子中，英语句子也是先中心，也就是将主要思想、结果放在句首，放在主句里表达；而汉语正相反，一般为后中心，主要的观点、信息往往放在句末。如：He had to stay at home yesterday because he was ill．（因为他病了，昨天他不得不呆在家里。）

Tragedies can be written in literature since there is tragedy in life．（生活中既然有悲剧，文学作品就可以写悲剧。）

所以说，大学生用英文写作时，要按照英美人的思维模式进行思考，避免写出中国式的英语。

2010年Should College Students Hire Cleaners Buying or Borrowing Books?

Books are close friends of humanity.They can arm us with knowledge and information we need to make success of life.Through books we can obtain skills and techniques for survival and development.Through books we can enlighten our spirits and live a fuller life.There are generally two ways in which we can access to books: borrowing or buying.While millions are borrowing books, I still think buying them best suits me and gives me the greatest enjoyment.Admittedly, there are a few merits for borrowing books.For one thing, borrowing books can save us huge amounts of money.And of course, with the money saved we can do other more worthy things.And also, as we borrow books from the library and friends, we normally have deadline to finish them, and consequently we can read more books in a limited time.And we can, above all, better our efficiency of our reading, just as a famous Chinese saying goes, “books can not be read unless borrowed.”

However, some advantages for buying books are more obvious and compelling.One of them, definitely not shared by the choice of borrowing books, is the abundance of freedom that buying books can offer us.Since we can keep the books as long as we wish, we can read as much as we want.Another strength of owing books is that we can take whatever notes on the margin of the pages of the books.And finally, the process of selecting and keeping books can be a great fun that borrowing books can by no means offer.While borrowing books can, to some extent, quench our thirst for knowledge, buying books gives us greater pleasure of selecting and keeping the best of the world treasure.Can we think of any thing else more delightful and rewarding?

2010年12月英语四级作文题目

Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent? You should write at least 120 words folllowing the outline given below.1.目前不少父母为孩子包办一切

2.为了让孩子独立, 父母应该……

（1）2010年12月大学英语四级考试作文范文高分版

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

Online Shopping

1.现在网上购物已成为一种时尚

2.网上购物有很多好处，但也有不少问题

3.我的建议

参考范文1

Nowadays with the ever rapid development and increasing popularity of the information technology , shopping on the internet has been a fashion especially among the youngsters.Online shopping has made our daily life more convenient and comfortable.For example , shopping on the internet can save students a great deal of time on the way between home and store, so they would be able to concentrate more time and energy on their academic work.The internet has shorten the distance between manufacturers and consumers and thus we can even buy goods in other countries.On the other hand , lack of the face to face deal makes online shopping less reliable and trustworthy.What’ s more the delivery will increase the risk of items’ damage.In my opinion, shopping on the internet is a irreversible trend.More and more people will be accustomed to it.It will be much more popular in the near future.And at the same time we should take some measures to make it perfect.参考范文2

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.2011年12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。

范文：

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

对白：

子：Dad, I'm a bit worried about disposing of nuclear waste(处理核废料)

父：If you can empty the dustbin(垃圾筒)here, you can do anything

北京新东方学校 金凌虹老师第一时间给同学们提供2013年6月英语四级作文真题答案范文。

Directions：

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 interesting place

Dear Pacival，I am thrilled to know that you are going to visit my hometown and I can’t wait see you again.I miss everything that happened when I was in your city, and your parents and you were so kind to me that I will try my best this time to make your stay an enjoyable and memerable one.My home town，Changsha, is the capital of Hunan province and best known as the star city for its well developed entertainment industry and tourism.There are numerous places and attractions worth recommending, and Yuelu Mountain is the first one that I’d like to introduce to you.Firstly, in the foot of Yuelu Mountain is the prominent Yuelu Academy.It has an exceedingly long history and its architecture is characteristic of Song Dynasty.Then, after a half hour, we will reach the Bird Forest.There are various rare birds there, and they can sing, perform, and interact with us.After about an hour, we will arrive at the peak, Baiyun Summit.The scenery there is spectacular and we can have a wonderful panorama of the whole city.I bet you must be very excited about all these activities, and the Yuelu Mountain is waiting for us to explore.All you need to do is pack up and go, and I assure you that this trip will be a great fun.Should you have any question and suggestion, please let me know.I am looking forward to your arrival.Yours sincerely, Romeo 2014年12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。
