Attend Your Classes Regularly Nowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from classes.And still there are some students who slip out of the classroom before the class is over.Class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and teachers.In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly.First, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning.That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study.Second, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers ,too.Your teachers will feel bad if the students do not attend their classes, which, in turn, will affect their teaching and be no good for the students.Third, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of punctuality, which is of great importance for the students to do a good job in the future.Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes regularly from now on.And some day we’ll benefit from it.点评:2008年元月三日,中山大学博士发帖称遭导师虐待;2008年元月四日,中国政法大学爆“杨帆门”事件;近几年,中小学老师或打学生或猥亵学生、体罚学生等各类新

1.学生给老师打分已经普遍 2.人们对其持不同态度 3.我的看法
Students’ Rating of Their Teachers Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students.In some universities students’ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness..This, however, has caused great controversy.Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend the teachers’ classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers’ effectiveness.Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it.They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students’ rating forms.Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject.These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers’ colleagues.I think students’ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers’ performance.Instead of rating the teachers’ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher’s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students’ interest in the subject.点评:越来越多的高校采取让学生给老师打分的形式来了解教学反馈,并以此作为促进教学质量的有效手段。对此做法,管理部门及教学双方褒贬不一,看法迥异。本预测题为校园生活热议话题,值得关注。

A Brief Introduction to the University Distinguished guests, Welcome to our university.Before you start to look around, allow me to give you a brief account of the school.Founded in 1927, our university is one of this city’s earliest universities of liberal arts.It is staffed with an excellent faculty, and has a total enrollment of over 10,000 students.In the past years, it has turned out numerous well-qualified students and found its graduates active in professions of all walks of life.Since its establishment, the university has always steered itself toward the objective that its students have an overall healthy development.Not only does it provide the students with basic academic courses, but it manages to expose them to the up-to-date knowledge.Besides, students are free to participate in colorful campus activities and social practice, which are intended for broadening their mind and developing their potential talent.Currently, both our faculty and students are making every effort to improve the quality of our education in the direction of a first-rate university.Thank you.点评:近几年,随着我国顺利加入世贸组织以及经济全球化步伐的加快,许多国内高校纷纷与国外大学合作办学,教育走向国际化成为人们关注的热点,也是大学生门比较关心的热点问题。本预测题为热议校园生活话题,与2004年旅游景点介绍2006年考查的名校校园开放如出一辙。

1. 有人认为大学里应独自生活
2. 另一些认为大学里应与别人同住 3. 你的看法
Living alone or Living with Roommates Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussion among the college students as to whether they should live alone outside the campus or live together with other roommates in the students’ dormitory.Opinions are divided over the matter.Those who are in favor of Living alone maintain that it is very convenient to live by themselves.They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own.They can have their own timetable without disturbing others.They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet.But others argue that living with roommates has attractions of its own.With several students sharing the same room, each person’s experiences can be greatly enriched.They can learn a lot from talking to one another.By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.As far as I’m concerned, I prefer to live with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging.Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent a apartment outside the campus.点评:本文与校园生活密切相关,也是近年来出现的现象,人们对此的看法各异,2003年后,作文考查加大了学校生活类题目的考查,因为这类题材不存在地域的差异,不同地域的同学都有话可说。本预测题即为校园生活类话题,符合命题者出题思路,值得引起重视。

Advertisement Advertisements are forcing their way into people’s lives.People refer to advertisements in their daily lives because they are consumers.The advertisers are usually manufacturers, retailers and salesmen.Their merchandise needs to be advertised to bring it to the attention to the customers.Thus nearly every product is advertised in some way.To a large extent, good advertising leads to success while bad advertising can mean failure.There are many ways to advertise and ‘ads’ come in different forms.Newspapers carry advertisements.Some products are publicized on TV and radio which bring them into notice of a wide audience.Billboards also carry advertising.Advertising is a big industry now and many agencies have been set up to furnish a variety of forms..However, advertising is not always truthful.A product is often misrepresented.The advertiser exaggerates the benefits of the merchandise he wants to sell.Thus, he misrepresents the truth.The consumer falls victim to such advertising.Millions of people have bought advertised products and have been dissatisfied with them。

different section for each activity and be available to students all year round.I believe such facilities will meet our sporting needs.Thank you for your reading this letter.Yours faithfully, Li Ming 点评:本预测题仿真度颇高,为校园生活话题,与在校大学生日常生活密切相关,是最近几年侧重考查的题材。2002年考查了就本校食堂状况给校长写一封信.预测九
1.近几年出现了大学生就业难的现象
2.产生这种现象的原因(如大学生追求的目标过高,专业不对口等)3.如何解决这一问题(改变就业观念,大学生再培训等)
College Students’ Job Hunting In recent years, college students find it increasingly difficult to get a job.It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play.Then what underlies the strange phenomenon? There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high.All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others.Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider not “good” enough.Another reason is that there is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs.So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.Solution to the problem requires efforts on both the society and the students.The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains.They should be down-to–earth in building up their career.Furthermore, they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent.点评:本预测题为社会热点话题。近年来大学生就业难日益成为各级政府及社会各方面关注的焦点,媒体也广泛报道了大学生就业形势严峻,呼吁全社会共同努力;此外,该预测题也与大学生就业密切相关,也是大学英语考试作文选题重点之一。

2.城市交通问题的表现以及对人们生活的影响
3.解决的方法与措施
Traffic Jam
There is no doubt that traffic congestion becomes a growing worry for the residents of most urban areas.Some major roads are regularly choked with traffic in rush hours.The limited transport capacity contributes largely to the vexing problem.How to solve the headache?.The existing solutions to traffic jam mainly aim at creating metro bus systems and broadening major roads.Widening the existing roads can solve traffic snarls on some level.Soaring car ownership compounds the chronic annoying problem, so we must sharply reduce the heavy reliance on cars and drive a shift to the mass transportation.It is a cheap and good way.We can create a system of customized bus routes and highlight the development of subways, trolleys and light rail.The effective combination of these solutions will enable the urban areas to possess a smooth traffic.点评:交通话题一直是作文命题话题之一。1990年考查过How to solve the problem of Heavy Traffic,1994年考题 The World Is Getting Smaller and Smaller也与交通有关,近年来,随着私家车的日益增多,城市交通拥堵凸显,出行难越来越成为人们关注的焦点。

Environmental Protection No one, regardless of race, religion or nationality, can deny that the world we live in is becoming increasingly intolerable because of the effects of global warming.According to many experts, even greater impacts are still on the way.There are numerous causes for this problem.On one hand, human-related emissions of carbon into the atmosphere is causing, and will in the future cause, significant global warming according to the theory.On the other hand, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem.It is urgent that immediate and effective actions should be taken right away.First, more trees need to be planted to help improve and beautify the environment.Besides, stricter laws concerning global warming and irresponsible use of fuel resources have to be put into effect and achieved good results.In a word, there is a long way to go before we can take a comfortable world for granted again.点评:环境问题也是作文命题重点话题之一。大学英语考试曾经考过Make our Cities Greener.近年来,全球气候异常,造成许多自然灾害的频繁,保护环境刻不容缓,已成为全社会乃至全人类共同关注的热点。

Credit Cards Personal credit cards are becoming more common in China.Banks and other financial institutions are encouraging their customers to change the way they buy things.Credit cards, otherwise known as “plastic money”, are being offered on very good terms to encourage the change.Consumers will be able to “buy now, pay later”, and many see this as an advantage.But people need to be careful.There are dangers associated with credit cards.Some people find it very easy to exceed their budget.They are tempted to purchase goods that they do not really need, and can become quickly overburdened by debt.The credit cards often charge a high rate of interest, which exacerbates the problems for these people.However, used wisely credit cards can improve the quality of people’s lives.They can give people access to money to meet sudden unplanned expenses.Properly handled, they can let people control their expenditure and the monthly statements provide a record of where their money has gone.点评:这是一篇议论文,关于信用卡的利弊。可以分成三部分: 第一部分,信用卡的好处,比如说应急等;第二部分,信用卡的一些弊端,比如说鼓励一些无用的消费;第三部分:你自己的观点,理性使用。

a)社会实践的作用 b)可能产生的问题 c)提出建议
Social Practice Social practice has been more and more popular in universities and colleges.Students are asked to enter society and get some idea of it.Surely social practice has many advantages.Firstly, social practice can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people.In this way students can gain some valuable social experience, which will be useful to their future career.Secondly, students can apply what they have learned in class to practical work, thus knowing themselves more clearly.Thirdly, social practice can bring them some financial reward and make them more independent of their family.However, some problems may arise if no correct guidance is made.For example, some students get overly interested in social practice and want to work full-time and earn money, thus neglecting their studies.And some students are likely to get in touch with the dark side of society, which will affect their future studies.In order to carry out social practice smoothly, students should first know its objective.They should put their studies in the first place and see social practice just as a useful supplement, so they ought to try to strike a balance between
social practice and their studies.点评:本篇文章属于解释性说明文。就业市场的竞争要求大学生具有丰富的社会实践,才能适应就业市场的竞争,所以现在在校大学生参与社会实践活动频繁,但如何处理好学业和社会实践的关系成为人们关注的话题。本预测题与大学生生活密切相关,也是大学英语作文关注的重要话题。

1.现在某些高校校园禁止车辆驶入,2.这种规定的考虑,3.谈谈你的看法。
Should cars be allowed into College Campus? With the rapid development of our national economy, private cars have become in large number;of course, quite a few cars are heavily driven into College Campus.In a significant way, these cars do not take up students’ places for study, but actually affect their daily life and study--for instance, this crowd of cars may make noise and emit filthy gas to choke us to death.And the campus is jammed
with lines of cars and seems to be parking lot instead of an academic institute.So cars have been strictly prohibited into many College Campuses.It seems that this is not convenience to some persons, indeed, but this is for the sake of our safety.Thus when someone enjoys convenience from modern tools, don't forget that it is dangerous to the students in the College Campus.Therefore, I agree that cars are not allowed into College Campus.By and large, with the price of cars falling significantly, cars will enter average families, and most Chinese will enjoy a luxurious lifestyle in their life.However, they are still prohibited to drive their cars into College Campus, which , I think, is a hard truth in the eyes of most people.点评:随着人们物质生活的提高,私家车发展迅猛,越来越多的私家车停放在校园,由此产生了一些问题,如空间被占、噪音污染、环境污染等,为此许多学校禁止车辆驶入校园,本预测题与2006年名校校园是否对外开放相仿,值得关注。

1.信息安全问题日益重要
2.信息安全事故可能导致的危害 3.如何做到信息安全
Information Security The human beings are stepping into the information society.The information industry develops very rapidly, so do the hackers, trick-playing teens, exploring children, fraudsters, and serious white-collar criminals.Thus, information security becomes an impending important issue.In case of information breach, the victims—government department, an organization or an institution, or a company will inevitably suffer great or small loss.Government may be threatened with national security.Companies may lose opportunities to develop new projects.And the public’s and users’ confidence will be damaged.Then how to deal with this issue? Technology is only a partial solution to information security.What’s more important is that organizations and companies should promote the awareness on information security to its staff.However, since no system can ever be 100 percent secure, a prevention-only approach to information security management is not enough.Companies and organizations should adopt a dual approach to information security management by combing prevention and detection techniques.点评:随着我们步入信息社会和计算机应用的普及,利用计算机犯罪案件不断上升,信息安全事故频繁发生,媒体也不时有大量相关报道,如何保护信息安全成为人们关注的焦点,本预测题为社会热点,值得关注。

1. 一些学生赞成讲座式教学 2. 另一些学生偏爱讨论式教学 3. 你的看法
Lectures and Discussions There is a heated debate over the role of lectures and discussions in the classroom.Some people believe that lectures can help students learn more quickly.In contrast, others hold that discussions can stimulate students to learn by themselves.Those who hold the first opinion suggest that students attend more lectures.In their view, by giving lectures teachers help students master the knowledge they’ve accumulated over years of study and research.However, others think that in a discussion, the teacher usually guides the students instead of dominating them.They argue that to get involved in a discussion, students have to develop their ability to analyze problems independently.In my opinion, I stand on the side of neither idea.First of all, either method has its disadvantages.Furthermore, each student has his or her preference.Thirdly,lectures ate preferable to discussions in the teaching of science subjects, and on the contrary, discussions are preferable to lectures in studying the humanities.Therefore, we should adopt different teaching methods according to different subjects.点评:2007年考查了大学生选修课话题,再次证明作文命题自2003年以后侧重于校园生活话题,该预测与校园生活联系紧密,为作文命题经常关注的话题。本文属于对比观点加作者态度型的议论文写作。

1.目前网络教育形成热潮
2.你认为这股热潮形成的原因 3.你对网络教育的评价
My View on Online Education.Being online is no longer something new or fresh in our life.To some extent, it has become part of our daily life.We can do a lot of things online, such as searching for information and communicating with friends far away.But recently another helpful online activity has become very “in”.That is online education.Why could online education be so popular within such a short period of time? Among other reasons, the quick development of the Internet should be an essential one, which makes all our dreams of attending class in the distance possible.Another underlying reason is the quick development of both society and technology.Today, modern science and technology is developing with fantastic speed.To catch up with this development we all feel an urgent and strong desire to study.However, due to the great pace of modern society, many people are too busy to study full time at school.Online education just comes to their aid.Personally, I appreciate this new form of education.It’s indeed a helpful complement to the traditional educational means.It can provide different learners with more flexible and versatile ways of learning.Best of all, with online education, we can stick to our jobs and at the same time study and absorb the latest knowledge.点评:英特网的迅速发展改变了人们的生活和学习、工作方式,现代生活节奏快、工作忙导致人们没时间全日制的学习,网络和远程教育正好满足了人们的学习需要,许多大学生利用因特网学习知识,它成为传统教学的有益补充。本预测题贴近时代,也与大学生校园生活相关,值得重视。

1. 中国的污染的现状 2. 造成污染的原因 3. 解决的办法
Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China It is reported that ten big cities in China are being ranked among the top
twenty cities with the highest pollution index in the world.This means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.Many factors are contributing to the deteriorating situation: industrial wastes pumped into the air, the lakes and rivers;a increasing number of automobiles crowding into the streets;the widespread use of plastic bags etc.To my view, stiffer laws and regulations must be implemented to check pollution.Industries that release wastes without permission should be heavily fined.Cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air.And the use of plastic bags and disposable meal boxes should be banned.What’s more, the media should play an important role in implanting a sense of environmental consciousness into people’s mind.If everybody works toward a common goal of making the environment better, we can create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.点评:该预测题为社会热点话题,也是命题作文经常关注的环境问题,值得引起重视。本文属于解释性说明文的写作,主题是“污染”。
