2.私立学校的利与弊
3.你的看法
范文:
It can be noticed that a large number of private schools or training organizations become a new landscape in education.When you read newspapers, when you watch TV, when you walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools.There are private schools mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music and sports.However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools.On the one hand, private schools can meet the special needs of the society or the particular requirements of people.On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.When asked to decide whether we should have a society without private schools or a society with private schools, I will not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.Although attending a training course will result in the extra cost or burden, it is of tremendous merits in preparing my work and cultivating my skills.3.明星代言

2、明星代言广告存在一些问题。
3、我的看法。
Celebrities as the products’ spokesmen
In the contemporary society, it is very common for celebrities, or the so-called superstars, to be spokesmen or representatives for a wide variety of products.Celebrities’ advertisements can be easily found on the Internet, televisions, newspapers, magazines and even on the walls of some buildings.There are, however, some problems for celebrities and the consumers.To begin with, before representing, a star may know nothing about the product.Thus, consumers may be misled.Even worse, for the sake of money, some stars advertise for items with low quality, even for fake commodities.In the case of Sanlu, the public image of stars involved was spoiled.Last but not least, the high income of advertising does not deserve their labor, which widens the gap between the poor and the rich.From my point of view, it is high time that measures were taken to eliminate the demerits.Firstly, laws should be worked out to regulate celebrities’ advertising.Secondly, stars should be required to tell the truth to the public.Only by doing so can stars be trusted by their fans and can consumers benefit.(183)

Every individual faces the problem of choosing an occupation after graduating from university, which is of great importance in one’s whole life.An appropriate occupation makes a man work with vigor and zest.Besides, it is beneficial for both the individual and the country.To make an advisable choice, a graduate should take into account at least two aspects, namely, individual’ interest and the demand of the society.Only when the two aspects are connected, can a man show his ability and talent to the best advantage.If the two factors conflict, the former, in most cases, should give way to the latter, for it is interests that stimulate one’s vigor and potential.In regard to my choice in the future, I want to work as an interpreter.I am keen on learning foreign languages, English in particular.Moreover, in the contemporary society, international exchange in economy and culture has been growing significantly.However, competent interpreters are far from enough.So I am determined to be a qualified interpreter.(169)

My View on Job-hopping
Outline: 1.有些人喜欢始终从事一种工作,因为…….2.有些人喜欢经常换工作,因为…..3.我的看法
People's opinions are always different when they talk about job-hopping.Those who never change their job throughout their life maintain that they have accumulated enough experience to work smoothly and efficiently, so what's the point in changing it and taking another job? They also firmly believe that anyone who wants to excel in his specialty has to work hard on the same post for years to acquire the required skill and knowledge.However, many others hold just the opposite view.On the one hand, they believe that if the present job can offer neither satisfactory working conditions nor future opportunities, they will not hesitate a moment to leave.On the other hand, they hold that life is but once and job-hopping can provide rich and exciting experiences.My own opinion is that job-hopping, in this fast-changing era of information, has become more than common and acceptable.If we want to keep pace with the times, we have to change for the faster, the higher and the stronger.If life is a journey, we have nothing to regret so long as we put meaning into it.So why not make a change?

Dear Sir or Madam,I learned from Beijing Youth Daily Oct.2 that your company is offering a position for a secretary, and it's a great pleasure for me to write to explore the possibility of seeking the job.I graduated two years ago from Beijing University of Technology, and obtained a bachelor's degree in the field of business manage¬ment.During my stay in the university my major courses included macro-economics, business communication skills, marketing and com¬puter applications.I was especially fond of the communication skills which enabled me to deal with people and things around well.Upon graduation I engaged with HP China Branch as an assis¬tant to the head of Marketing Department.My responsibilities consist¬ed of carrying out market surveys, writing reports and organizing meet¬ings within the department.This two-year experience has helped me a lot in many ways.In particular, I become increasingly aware of the importance of co-ordination and co-operation among co-workers.I also believe the experience will qualify me for the current vacancy in your company.I passed both CET-4 and CET-6 with high marks.My spoken English is also fluent enough to organize meetings in English, which was actually my routine work in HP.Most of my market reports were presented in English, as my former boss is a native English speaker
I enclose herein my resume and some relevant documents as re¬quired.And if you need any further information on me, I also refer you to Mr.Johnson, my ex-colleague, who is available at 021-66668888.I appreciate your sincere consideration of me, and am looking forward to an early interview with you.Sincerely yours, Wang Peng

Directions: The summer vacation is drawing near.You, Liming by name, want to find a part-time job.Write an application letter of about 120-150 words within 30 minutes.Dear Sirs,I'm Li Ming, a sophomore majoring in English at XX University.I read in yesterday's newspaper that you are looking for a part-time secretary and I think I'll prove to be a real find for you.During the past two years at university, I‘ve taken over 18 compulsory and optional course, and have according improved my ability of English listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation considerably.Besides, I have learned a lot about foreign relations and trade.At leisure, I always try to grasp every precious opportunity to practice English with native speakers.As a matter of fact, I've already tried some translation and interpretation jobs.I once worked as a temporary interpreter at the East China Export Commodities Fair.In addition, during the past two years, I have been working as a part-time tour guide.My jobs offered me good opportunities to improve my English and work competence and I enjoy them very much.Two weeks from now, I will be on holiday again.If you can grant me the honor to work for your company as a secretary for two months, I'd feel obliged.Thank you for reading my application letter.I'm looking forward to your reply.1.Craze for Civil Service Examinations
1.现在有越来越多的大学毕业生报考公务员
2.引起此现象的原因
3.你的看法
Every year hundreds of thousands of people in China take civil service exams conducted at various levels in the hope of becoming government employees.Among them, college graduates are a fast-growing force that can‘t be ignored.The craze for being a civil servant is not limited to liberal arts majors, as it‘s also gaining popularity among science and engineering students.In the final analysis, this growing trend among the youngsters is mainly attributable to two factors – ambitions and comforts.On one hand, many ambitious college graduates view these exams as a springboard to a higher social status, greater power and prestige, on which many of their other wishes rest.On the other, as being a civil servant generally means a as well stable income, enviable healthcare and pension programmes, as other comforts of life, it‘s quite an appealing career option to many people, especially in this age of sluggish萧条的 world economy.Personally, the desire to be a government official is beyond reproach(无可厚非), as the nation and the people do need an injection of new blood into the civil service sectors.The fresh-faced college graduates, armed with lofty崇高的 ideals, new vision, and strong drive, are undoubtedly among the best candidates.5.Friendship
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: What does friendship mean? You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:
1.友谊是人生永恒的主题。
2.友谊到底意味着什么。
3.友谊的重要性。
What does friendship mean? There is no definite answer.An eternal theme in literature, friendship is also indispensable in daily life.Friendship is to our life what salt is to dasher.When you are happy, friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade;when you are sad, friendship is a dose of consolation;if you are in trouble, friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you;if you have a hard nut to crack, you can turn to friends for help.We admire the great friendship between Marx and Engel, which firmly combined them and pushed them forward on the road to exploring and fulfilling Communism.Friendship isn't almighty, but no one can live happily without it.3.Private Tutoring
Outline: 1.为孩子聘请家教目前非常普遍 2.家教的利与弊 3.我的看法
Sample: Private tutoring is ―in‖.A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors.Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education.Many parents, for various reasons, missed the chance of obtaining a good education.When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless.Private tutoring is the only solution.As private tutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil clearly.However, private tutoring has its own disadvantages.For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupils‘ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment, which are essential for their physical and mental health.For another, some teachers, busy ―shuttling‖ from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties.What‘s more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well in the test, offering the so-called tips for test-taking rather than help them acquire what is more meaningful.Generally speaking, its disadvantages outweigh its advantages.Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of pupils‘ potentials.Only in this way can a new generation be healthily brought up.Sample 1
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic:
假设你被 选取为交换学生,到美国学习,你会选择什么做为礼物带给美国朋友。
Suppose that I am chosen to be an exchange student, ready to stay and study in the USA for a while, I will show the American people the best of our country and our culture.I think the best way to achieve this purpose is to bing them some souvenirs that can best represent Chinese characteristics.I would choose Chinese Ties.The reasons for my choice are twofold.First things first, it symbolizes a Chinese dream, a dream deeply rooted in the Chinese culture—a harmonious society.Typically round in shape, a Chinese Tie reflects ancient Chinese outlook on the world, which, they believe, should be round.In turn, round things signify a harmony.Secondly, I think few things are so wonderful as a...., since just in its middle is a square hole, which has another meaning– the idea of order and rule.Perhaps, there are numerous things that can stand for China, such as …… However, the best that can visualize China, as far as I am concerned, is the Chinese tie.Sample 2
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Fascinating China.You should write at least 120 words according to the situation given below in Chinese:
一位外国朋友第一次来中国,他想让你介绍两三样极具中国特色的事物(可以是风俗文化等),你会向他介绍什么?如何介绍?
The Fascinations of China
China, one of the cradles of human civilization, possesses so many treasures with Chinese characteristics that numerous foreign friends come to visit her.The first place to go to is, the Great Wall, which is the symbol of China and one of the seven wonders in the world.What's more, it is said to be the only construction that can be seen from the outer space.In the imperial periods, it was used in defense of the dynasties.Since liberation, it has become a place of interest.There is a famous saying: “He who does not reach the Great Wall isn't a true man.”
China is home to Panda, an animal with only two colors, white and black, but very cute.It's our national treasure, often functioning as a friendly diplomat.Terracotta-clay warriors unearthed in Xi'an, a famous ancient city-were sculptured in Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty of China.When former U.S.President Clinton came to China, he visited terracotta‘s first.The above mentioned are just a wave of the sea.If you want to know more about this ancient nation, come and be our guest.Sample 3
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Something I admire about the Western Culture.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below :
1.Is there anything in the Western culture you admire?
2.What is it(are they)and why do you like it(them)?
Something I Admire about the Western Culture
Despite the cultural conflicts between the Orient and the Occident, there do exist some admirable ingredients in the Western culture.First and foremost, the equality between parents and children.The parents are not always superior to their children, and the children do not always need to obey their parents‘order, that is, they are more like close friends.Second, the independent personality.Western people have a strong sense of supporting themselves and being independent.They begin earning their pocket money early in their life, even as kids.Last, Western people do not always assess a person according to his background.If only he can achieve success through personal struggle, he can win status.It's a talent-oriented society, not background-oriented.1.“A Letter to the Minister of Education”.Your must base your composition on the following instructions(given in Chinese).Your composition should be no less than 120 words.Remember to write it neatly.假设你是李文,请你就学校假期的安排给教育部长写一封信,向他建议将学校传统的长假调整为几次短假并陈述相关的原因比如:学习时间过长可能引起过度疲劳,而放假过长则可能导致浪费时间等等。
A Letter to the Minister of Education
Dear Minister of Education,I am a college student and I would like to suggest that students should be given several shorter breaks through the year instead of the traditional long vacations.The reasons why I am in favor of it are as follows.First, students must work very hard at their studies.If they work for too long without a break, they may become overtired and discouraged.They may lose their enthusiasm for learning.Second, a very long vacation is not necessary.Students can recharge their energy in a few days rather than weeks.Furthermore, many students do not use a long vacation wisely and just waste their time instead of doing something meaningful.And last but not least, vacations give students time to explore other interests and perhaps apply what they have been learning to the real world.If they always focus on their studies.They may lose touch with what is happening in their society.In conclusion, I believe that students today would benefit more from several short vacations than they do form two long ones.I do hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and make a final wise decision.Yours Sincerely
Li Wen

Sample 1:
Early in senior high school, we longed to be enrolled in a university.Now the dream has come true.But how do we college students like our campus life?
Certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding.Besides study, they spend considerable amount of time improving themselves in various aspects.Yet others do not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit as much.In their eyes, the university is just a bigger high school.The only difference is that they have more time at their disposal without parents looking over their shoulder.As to me, college life is ideal if only I have abundant books to read, some bosom friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious professors to instruct me, and an easy access to the Internet.Sample 2

My fellow students,Last Friday, the Students‘ Union of our Department organized a clean-up project to Zhongshan Lake.The purpose of this project is to enhance(加强)the environment awareness of general public.Late in the afternoon around 4, a group of 35 volunteers went to the park where we pick up the trash(垃圾)left by some tourists.As head of the group, I would like to report to you on the event.Actually, we did a wonderful job.When we were collecting the trash near the lake, many people paused to watch and then came to our help, showing considerable appreciation and support.But our work still left some to be desired.For one thing, since our project started late in the afternoon, hours were not long enough to attract enough people as we had predicted.For the other, lots of people passed by apparently not knowing what we were doing.But for these two drawbacks, our project could have been much better and more effective.So, following are two of my suggestions: next time we have similar activities, try to start earlier, say in the morning.In this case we can put in more hours.And also, as we are getting along, we can put up some posters to tell people what we are doing and call their attention to environment protection.Thank you.Sample 2 真题演讲例文

5.Should College Students Live on Campus
v a.有些人喜欢住在学校的宿舍,因为……
v b.有些人喜欢住在校外,因为……
v c.我的看法
There are an increasing number of students who choose to live off campus.Parents and university administrations understandably reacted differently.They voiced concerns about security and the threat of off-campus lifestyles getting out of control.However, college students have their own reasons for their choices.Some students prefer to live on campus for the following reasons.First, campus residents are closer to classes, the library, and other resources, so they are more likely to succeed in college and complete their bachelor‘s degree in four years.Furthermore, living in a dorm is a great opportunity to meet all kinds of new people and develop relationships with them, so students living on campus are more sociable.Last but not the least, living on campus is cheaper and more convenient.Often times, off-campus housing is more expensive than on-campus housing and while living on campus, you don‘t have to worry about monthly rent payments and utility bills.Some others choose to live off campus because they believe living off campus they are more independent, with more privacy and a lot more quiet time.Living off campus gives them freedom from those dorm rules and allow them to set their own.The extra space also means that one can probably find a quiet place to study in the convenience of his own home.As for me, I‘m a faithful supporter of the former group because I, living on campus myself, have witnessed and enjoyed all the convenience and happiness of doing so.To me, living on campus undoubtedly adds an important element to the complete college experience.6-1.How to improve student's mental health
Sample 1
1、大学生的心理健康十分重要
2、因此,学校可以......3、我们自己应当......As is known to all, psychological health is as important as, if not more important than, physical health for a student during his/her growth.However, it‘s quite worrying that nowadays some students are not quite psychologically healthy.Undoubtedly, schools and universities should take great account in the responsibilities of students‘ psychological health.Relevant courses and activities should be introduced to students so that they would be more aware of the significance of psychological health and find appropriate ways to maintain and improve it.For example, there should be a psychological counseling hotline or office for students to turn to when they need some psychological aid.Of course no psychological health can be obtained without the efforts from the students themselves.From my perspective, what they can do is trying to stay positive, optimistic and follow the right guidelines from their schools.To be more specific, they can participate in some activities such as voluntary work to cultivate an opening and caring mind.Meanwhile, harmful impacts from the cyber space should definitely be avoided.6-2面对压力、困难、挫折、灾难的主题
Sample 2 On Stress 面对压力
1.压力是学生和工作的人都面对的事情。
2.有人说压力过大,影响到身心健康,使人无法做出最佳表现;也有人说,压力能够使人不断进取,是一个人不断进步的必须条件。
3.我的看法。
(1.有的人害怕压力。
2.有的人认为压力并不是一件坏事。
3.我的看法。)
With the fast pace of modern life, more and more people are living under great pressure.Some people are afraid of pressure.They think that the stresses and strains of work deprive them of joy and happiness.In their view, stress does harm to them both physically and mentally.That is why they prefer something less competitive and strenuous to something more demanding and challenging.Others argue that stress isn't as bad as it often supposed to be.Unless it is overwhelming, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and stimulation.Without stress, you may slack off and idle away your time.It gives purpose and meaning to an otherwise meaningless, dull life.People under stress tend to bring their potential into full play and to realize their goals.In my opinion, we shouldn't escape from stress but to face it as it is.What we can do is to adapt to the stress and to profit from it rather than to avoid it.Sample 3 On disasters 面对灾难
1.人的一生中,可能会遇到一些灾难事件,给我们的生活带来意外的打击。
2.面对灾难,我们应该坚强,不要过于沉湎于悲痛,积极面对人生。
3.我的看法。
As we all know, one‘s life is full of unexpected events, some of which are wonderful and some of which are disastrous.Those heavy blows, such as, floods, snowstorms, and earthquakes, threaten to weigh one down..However, it‘s even worse if one can‘t drag himself out of the grief in that break-down in the sprit is more serious than the disaster itself.Instead of indulging oneself in sadness, one should be positive of life and contribute to the reconstruction of the hometown..As to me, if I am not the victim of a disaster, I will try my best to help those who are suffering by donation blood or money.If I am a victim, I will try my best to recover from the sadness as soon as possible and try to be strong and supportive to the recovery work..Sample4 On Crisis 论危机

Crisis is to us what illness is to our body.On the one hand, illness can harm our body and sometimes even put an end to our life.In the same manner, crisis can cause damage to our life and career.On the other, just as illness sometimes can harden and strengthen our body(our immune system), so crises, especially those minor crises in life sometimes can be turned into a bless to us.A ready example that comes to mind is the earthquake crisis that has recently devastate most of Kyushu, Qinghai Province.Admittedly, it has cost us quite a lot.So many people were seriously injured and still so many even lost their lives.And our economy suffers a temporary setback and a slowdown.However we also have learned a great deal from it.Never has our nation been so united or have our people been more aware of value of lives.All in all, if we can bear in mind all the sufferings and ordeals we have experienced, then all our blood, tear, toil and sweat will not go unrewarded.7.投诉信

Dear President,I am a sophomore with the Department of Law.My name is Wang Ming.I am writing to you today to intimate you with something undesirable that I have found in the University Library.You may or may not realize how much our library, the landmark of our university or even of our town, weighs in our minds.It is a place we are most proud of and where we like to spend most of our time.In such an honorable place we have noticed recently some phenomena which hurt our eye.Some seats in the reading rooms are ‗permanently reserved vacant seats‘, that is, some students ―occupy‖ some seats they never come to use.What a terrible waste of valuable resource!Some other students are too noisy, talking among themselves, leaving mobile phone beeping anytime.And some library staff is ill-mannered and rude and not helpful most of time.These and other undesirable things have already done damage to the fame of our university and caused a lot of inconvenience to the users.Dear President, we hope that something can be done to change and reverse the current situation.Let our cozy, comfortable, quiet, effective library come back.Best wishes
Yours sincerely,Wang Ming

Sample 1: Statistics of Family Expenses in Shanghai
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.Another factor lies in the development of people‘s concept.People 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.Sample 2:

As we all know, white trash mainly refers to the plastic bags we consume everyday.And this pollution has been affecting us for many years.It is reported that 3 billion plastic bags are used on a daily basis.Fortunately, the government has take measures to deal with the increasingly serious problem.A new ban was launched not quite long ago that plastic shopping bags are no longer free.This ban is significant in the following aspects.First of all, it contributes to the reduced quantities of plastic bags and therefore can relieve the pressure of white trash on the environment.Furthermore, the environmental awareness will be strengthened and thus benefit other aspects of the environmental protection.In all, we have only one earth, which doesn‘t belong to our generation only.It‘s the responsibility for every individual to take actions to protect it.Let‘s use more cloth bags, baskets instead of plastic bags.Only by taking actions can we really rescue our mother earth from being drown in the trash.住房话题参考阅读文章
“To buy or to rent”, that is a question about living for most young people who just graduated from university or who have worked for one or two years in big cities.Many people see it as a torturing choice and feel weak in face of it.sub-topics:
1.Which one will choose or have you chosen? Why?
2.Discussion: the advantages and disadvantages of buying a house and renting a house.3.What's your expectation about the realty market in the coming 10 years?
Millions of Americans have been unable to pay the mortgage on their houses and have had to leave them.Many are now renting, but are finding it difficult financially
Owning your home was once part of the American dream.But that dream has faded because of the economic recession in the United States.Millions of Americans have been unable to pay the mortgage on their houses and have had to leave them.Without a home of their own, many people are now renting, but this also can be difficult financially.Until recently, Brenda Ganaway lived in a home of her own in Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb close to Washington, D.C.But then the economic crisis hit and she was unable to keep paying the mortgage on her house.“We were behind on a few payments and we couldn't get a loan anywhere, so they just immediately foreclosed it and told us we had a certain amount of days to leave,” she explained.There are millions of people like Brenda Ganaway in America now.Raphael Bostic is the assistant secretary at the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD.He says the number of Americans who own their homes is steadily dropping.“The homeownership rate in the United States used to be somewhere close to 70 percent.We've fallen off by several million households now,” he said.“And so the rate is down considerably.And a lot of those have now gone into the rental market.”
Renting does have some advantages over home ownership.If a renter wants to move, for example, he does not have to worry about finding a buyer for the house.Yazgul Odekova manages a rental property in Alexandria.She says the major reason people rent is that it is usually less expensive than owning a home.“People rent for different reasons.Number one is affordability,” she said.“It is cheaper to rent and it is risk-free.”
Renting is cheaper for many reasons, says Arun Shu.He is an international businessman who rents a home near Washington.He says there are many costs to owning a house besides paying the monthly mortgage.“If you decide to buy a house, a lot of expenses are involved.Not only payment if you take a mortgage, but also you have to pay property tax, maintenance and upkeep of the house,” he said.“You probably will want to spend some money on renovating the house, remodeling parts of the house if you buy [a] used house.”
But even renting can be difficult in today's market, especially in big cities.Danilo Pelletiere is an official at the National Low Income Housing Coalition.He says there just are not enough homes to rent and poor people are the most affected.“In the United States there has been a focus both at the local level and a national level on home ownership.That affected renters, low-income people and the like and a result you have shortage of three million units of affordable housing for lowest income people,” he said.Even if a house is available, Mr.Pelletiere says, being able to pay for it is another problem.To afford the rent, he says, many poor people work more than one job.“Today you need multiple minimum wage jobs to be able to afford a two-bedroom apartment,” he added.“We calculated about $18 an hour.”
Even if a person can afford the rent there are other obstacles.Yazgul Odekova, the property manager in Alexandria, says most people just do not meet the necessary qualifications, such as being able to prove they can afford the rental payments.“Right now from every 10 application we turned down nine.It is not just because people are dishonest.Sometimes people have big medical bills, sometimes people have bankruptcy, because suddenly they became sick and don't have health insurance.Sometimes peoples' income is very low, sometimes it is unstable relationship between people,” Odekova said.HUD's Raphael Bostic says the U.S.government has programs to help low-income families pay the rent.“We provide direct subsidy where we try to make sure that families are not overly burdened [so we don't wanna go over that 30 percent ratio], but that they can get into some decent high-quality housing,” Bostic said.But most analysts agree that until the U.S.economy improves, buying a home or renting one will be especially hard for low-income people.1.My View on the Income Gap
Outline: 1.收入差距悬殊是当前社会的一种现象 2.人们对之褒贬不一 3我的看法
Sample
Now the income gap is getting wider and wider.In some privately owned firms, joint-ventures, or foreign-fund companies, an executive‘s yearly income is ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker‘s.Faced with this situation, people will undoubtedly have different opinions.Some believe that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force is often derived from the gap.In other words, the gap inspires people and gives a push to advancement.Others speak of its side effect: income gap is often the root of social unrest and also contrary to our country‘s principle.From my point of view, while it is true that the income gap may stimulate the social development to some extent, it causes trouble as well.An income gap that is too wide for most people to bear can neither contribute to the stability of a country nor promote its economic development.Therefore, while we are advocating the rapid development of our country, we should tolerate the narrow income gap but narrow the wide one.4.Fast Food

3.我对快餐的看法
Fast Food
Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.Today, nothing is more representative of the fast pace of modern society than fast food.There are several reasons for its popularity.First, it is quick and convenient.Go into a fast food restaurant, and your food will be ready in a minute.You can satisfy your hunger instantly.Precious time won't be wasted in waiting-in-line to order or waiting at your table for your food to arrive.Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean food, the excellent service and the comfortable environment of the fast food restaurant.However, I think that fast food isn't healthy enough because it does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition.Doctors suggest that people should avoid eating too much fast food.Although home cooking is time-consuming and following washing-u p tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs.1.2010年作文预测--地震慰问信

Every year hundreds of thousands of people in China take civil service exams conducted at various levels in the hope of becoming government employees.Among them, college graduates are a fast-growing force that can’t be ignored.The craze for being a civil servant is not limited to liberal arts majors, as it’s also gaining popularity among science and engineering students.In the final analysis, this growing trend among the youngsters is mainly attributable to two factors – ambitions and comforts.On one hand, many ambitious college graduates view these exams as a springboard to a higher social status, greater power and prestige, on which many of their other wishes rest.On the other, as being a civil servant generally means a as well stable income, enviable healthcare and pension programmes, as other comforts of life, it’s quite an appealing career option to many people, especially in this age of sluggish萧条的 world economy.Personally, the desire to be a government official is beyond reproach(无可厚非), as the nation and the people do need an injection of new blood into the civil service sectors.The fresh-faced college graduates, armed with lofty崇高的 ideals, new vision, and strong drive, are undoubtedly among the best candidates.[2010四级写作] 12月四级写作话题预测:当村官

In recent years being a village official has become the first choice of many college students when they graduate and are trying to find a job.According to a report carried by The Chinese Education Daily the number of students who apply for the post increases at the annual rate of 20 percent in recent five years, which well justifies the popularity of becoming a village official
among college students.Several factors may account for this popularity.First, it is the fierce competition of job market that forces the college graduates to consider other alternatives other than staying in the big cities as they used to.Secondly, to encourage well-educated young talents to work in the rural areas, the government authorities have made some policies offering major incentives to college graduates who are willing to work for rural governments at grassroots level, especially for village committees.For example, those who work for a rural committee for at least three years after graduation can get a 10-point credit in their exams to enter graduate schools.The preferential treatment is appealing to many students.Last but not least, many students consider working as a village official is a rewarding opportunity.It will acquaint themselves with the very society of our country as well as improve their adaptability to different circumstances, both of which are believed to be beneficial to their future career.In my opinion, college students working as a village official is worth promoting.It is possible that some graduates may use the job as “spring boards”: only applying for it in order to receive the favorable treatment, but the majority of them genuinely hope to serve the rural areas and better the life of the villagers.With the participation of so many college graduates, we have reasons to believe that it will not take too long to realize the blueprint of Constructing New Village.[2010四级写作] 12月四级写作话题预测:支教

Dear Sir or Madam,I learned from Beijing Youth Daily Oct.2 that your company is offering a position for a secretary, and it's a great pleasure for me to write to explore the possibility of seeking the job.I graduated two years ago from Beijing University of Technology, and obtained a bachelor's degree in the field of business manage¬ment.During my stay in the university my major courses included macro-economics, business communication skills, marketing and com¬puter applications.I was especially fond of the communication skills which enabled me to deal with people and things around well.Upon graduation I engaged with HP China Branch as an assis¬tant to the head of Marketing Department.My responsibilities consist¬ed of carrying out market surveys, writing reports and organizing meet¬ings within the department.This two-year experience has helped me a lot in many ways.In particular, I become increasingly aware of the importance of co-ordination and co-operation among co-workers.I also believe the experience will qualify me for the current vacancy in your company.I passed both CET-4 and CET-6 with high marks.My spoken English is also fluent enough to organize meetings in English, which was actually my routine work in HP.Most of my market reports were presented in English, as my former boss is a native English speaker
I enclose herein my resume and some relevant documents as re¬quired.And if you need any further information on me, I also refer you to Mr.Johnson, my ex-colleague, who is available at 021-66668888.I appreciate your sincere consideration of me,and am looking forward to an early interview with you.Sincerely yours,Wang Peng

参考范文:
People's opinions are always different when they talk about job-hopping.Those who never change their job throughout their life maintain that they have accumulated enough experience to work smoothly and efficiently, so what's the point in changing it and taking another job? They also firmly believe that anyone who wants to excel in his specialty has to work hard on the same post for years to acquire the required skill and knowledge.However, many others hold just the opposite view.On the one hand, they believe that if the present job can offer neither satisfactory working conditions nor future opportunities, they will not hesitate a moment to leave.On the other hand, they hold that life is but once and job-hopping can provide rich and exciting experiences.My own opinion is that job-hopping, in this fast-changing era of information, has become more than common and acceptable.If we want to keep pace with the times, we have to change for the faster, the higher and the stronger.If life is a journey, we have nothing to regret so long as we put meaning into it.So why not make a change?

One must first of all be serious about this matter be¬cause it will have an influence on his whole life.Then, to meet the requirements of demanding jobs, one needs to have certain qualifica¬tions.It is therefore essential for him to acquire basic knowledge and skills.

Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision.It provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our life.Just as Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer put it, “And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated.This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life.First things first, ambition renders us a sense of mission.No matter what decision you make you have to be responsible for your choice.Your choice procures you a sense of orientation, or more specially a sense of mission.And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness.Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered.” And became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome.John Milton, stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which England would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature.In the second place, ambition can bring one’s potentials to the full.Ambition may well serve as a catalyst activating one’s dormant potentials.Without ambition one’s potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano.A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Helen Keller.It was her ambition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon.Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction.If wrongly directed, one’s ambition may bring havoc on him and others.Hitler, whose ambition was to conquer Europe by whatever evil means, finally turned him into a demon.It was this demon that almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering.Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland.However, his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan.Consequently, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom.To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves.A poet says: life can be bad;life can be good;life can be dirty;life can be sad,;life can even be painful.In my mind’s eye, a person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-orientated ambition

考研英语小作文和大作文备考经验谈
作文历来是研究生入学考试的重中之重,每年都有无数考研英豪难过英语关,从而与成功一步之遥,失之交臂。在名目繁多的辅导机构的海报满天飞与媒体炒作日渐升温时,如何一方面保持清醒的头脑,一方面找到适合自己并且针对行之有效的学习方法,才是真正关键的问题。本文将重点给各位网友讲讲考研英语小作文、大作文的备考技巧经验。
一、应用文(小作文)
应用文写作要求考生在三个方面完成要求:一要注意把握信息点;第二是把握语言点,内容要十分明确,不要出现过多的错误;第三是要注意格式和语言。一是掌握格式的线条,主要是掌握两种大的文类,一个是正式文体,一个是非正式文体。如果应用文涉及的是商务或者公务之类较正式的东西,那么语言表达的时候也得注意格式和书面化、规范化;如果要求写便条给朋友的话,就应当用主语化的表达方式。
这几个方面注意了,就可以很大地缓解难度。应用文的字数要求是100个字,大概8句话,8句话怎么分配呢?第一段就写一句话,第一句话表明你写信的基本内容:如果是询问信息的话,就说你写这封信要询问以下几个问题;如果是投诉,就说写这封信是要表达对什么东西的不满;如果是请求信,就说写这封信想要请求什么东西就可以了。总之,就一句话,简明扼要。然后,用简练的语言表达清楚题目要求表达的内容和信息。最后一句话,就是一个礼貌的结尾。
二、大作文
大作文的写作一般会给考生写作提纲,或图表、图画,或图文并茂。命题方式虽然多样,但题目涉及面往往是考生比较熟悉的内容,目的是测定考生语言的实际应用能力。要求表达清楚,文字连贯,中心突出,内容丰富,句式多变,句子结构和用词正确。
语言的应用能力不可能一蹴而就,必须厚积薄发,必须经过长期的实践锻炼。如何提高英语写作能力呢?一是要背大量的优秀范文,整段整篇地背,并转换为自己的语言,写作时才能随心所欲地支配。考试时避免套用以前死记硬背的几个范文,把一些词不达意的词堆积在一起,没有统一性,无法很好地表现主题。
二是要多动手。包括对背过的文章进行词语替换、句式转换、句子重组等,以及对某一主题展开写作。多动手才能提高笔下功夫,才能保证在考场上顺利写作。可以说背诵范文是培养语感、积累素材、掌握写作方法的途径,动手写作则是实践,是最终目的,这两者结合起来,就是“理论联系了实际”。另外,背诵范文应有针对性,写作训练也是一样,在训练中要掌握每一类型作文的写作规律,根据其写作特点(如提纲式作文就要求考生根据提纲提示的思路和规定的要点展开段落)进行全面训练。但是,注意不要带有押题的心理,靠背几篇范文就能应付考试的心态是不可取的。很多高分考生认为,背诵《新概念英语》第三册,熟练掌握其中的各种表达方式,并坚持每天进行英语随笔练习,对于提高英语写作能力十分有益。
三、应试技巧
1、认真审题
作文第一步是仔细审题,考生要仔细阅读试题要求及相关信息,如图表、图画、数字等,准确把握出题者意图。考研作文忌信手拈来,提笔就写,根本不审题,想到哪儿就写到哪儿,或完全凭自己想象编故事,置考试要求于不顾,“下笔千言,离题万里”。比如1998年考研作文是一幅卡通画,老母鸡申明外加一首打油诗,讽刺一些企业把该尽职之事作为推销产品的承诺。2000年的作文“a brief history of world commercial fishing”,它给出了两张图,从1900年的渔船和鱼量之比到1995年的渔船和鱼量之比的变化谈如何保护渔业资源,应从商业性滥捕鱼这一主题展开话题,有的考生却大谈环境污染。这就偏离了主题,因为题中自始至终都没有谈到环境污染问题。
有的同学没有审题习惯,或担心时间不够草草审题,最后文不对题,草草收场,这必然会影响英语成绩,同时也会影响后两门考试的心情。
2、列出提纲
考试规定的时间是很有限的,所以不能花太多时间准备一个详细的提纲,但关键词提纲或粗略提纲还是非常有必要的。对原始材料分析归纳后要形成一个基本的框架。文章打算分几段写,每段大概怎样写,字数控制在多少,开头段落是道破主题、点明要旨、引人入胜还是先给出主题一般的背景情况和对主题进行浓缩的陈述,中间段落和结尾又怎样写,等等,这些都要心中有数。有的考生习惯用汉语构思文章,逐句翻译提纲,当碰到某个词卡住时就翻译不下去,僵在那里。要注意列提纲是为了更好更全面地表达主题。主题的表达可有多种形式,不一定非要寻找一个特定的词或句子。考试时考生要充分调动大脑,灵活运用以前所学知识。
3、开始写作
一篇文章往往由四部分组成:标题(title),首段(opening paragraph),主体(body paragraph),结尾段(concluding paragraph)。标题要新颖,能引起读者兴趣。首段的内容根据文章的体裁而变化:比如议论文可以从一种现象、一种观点出发引出作者的观点,记叙文往往交代人物和故事背景。主体是文章的主要部分,通过合适的语篇模式表达一定的观点,考生要围绕中心按一定顺序分层次有重点地展开叙述、描写和议论。结尾段是对全文的总结,论点上要与前面的叙述保持一致

谈英语作文的“写”与“作”
绝大多数的英语学习者,一想到写英语作文,就会头“大”。他们常常苦思冥想,然后草草而就,只求按时“交差”,别的就顾不上了。这种状态下炮制出来的“大作”,其质量可想而知。
对初学者而言,一篇英语作文的过程,至少应该包括两个阶段,“写”与“作”。
所谓“写”的过程应该与中文写作没有很大区别,无非是扣题,构思,表述。惟一要特别注意的是,我们写英语作文时,一般要求的字数比较少,所以我们在文章的结构上更须注意突出重点,集中火力。在非重点部分,不要随便发挥,而应该尽量直奔主题。以本次征文比赛为例,题目是The English Teacher I Admire Most,那么文章的重点应该是讲述why I admire him/her,what is so special about him/her,what I see in him/her,what has made him/her such a wonderful teacher等等,你可以状貌,但主要应该是“写神”,状貌应该简短,应该只起铺垫的作用。写这篇文章当然离不开叙事,全文可能叙述一件或多件事,那么这一件或多件事各自所占的分量应该有分寸,使整篇文章保持平衡。叙事时应该直奔主旨。英语写作的传统非常注重所谓的topic sentence——能够统摄全文或者全段的句子。这个句子最好出现在文章的开头,然后在文章的结尾处用不同的表述呼应这个句子。例如,有一篇应征例文的第一句是这样的:She takes us into the magical English world。这就是一个非常有力的topic sentence。这一个句子就足可吸引读者,让读者相信作者心中对她确实有一种毫无保留甚或“五体投地”的admiration,接下来就会有兴趣了解她究竟有怎样的magic power,让学生如此着迷。这篇文章的结句是her charisma(魅力)is unbelievable,非常有力度,charisma与unbelievable两个词巧妙地呼应了magic这个词。文章需要topic sentence,每个段落最好也要有这样非常powerful的topic sentence。构思完成以后,就是落笔表述的过程。这个过程应该迅速,最好能够一气呼成,不要过多地顾忌是否犯了语法错误,或者表述是否清楚。不要犹犹豫豫,一步三回头,因为在完成了
“写”以后,你还有一个“作”的过程。所谓“作”,就是“精雕细作”。英语初学者常常觉得自己“眼高手低”,想表述的意思难以成文,本来很精致的“意”却表现为颇为笨拙的“文”。这当然与我们掌握的词汇有限相关。但是,我们有限的词汇与表达,经过适当的调度与搭配,还是可以“作”出好文章来的。
我们在写完初稿以后,不妨让自己的好友读一下,看看他是否明白文章的每一个句子。因为作者自己常常把想到而没有表述出来的信息也read into the article,因此不容易发现表述不清的问题。
处理完了表述问题以后,就进入“深加工”阶段。英语写作最强调韵律感,即使是高深的学术文章,读起来常常也会很有“乐感”。这种“乐感”主要来自于句子结构的变化与组合。简而言之,就是长短结合,错落有致。英语的句子结构变化比较多,但我们在写作时受汉语的影响很深,写出的句子常常整齐划一,缺少变化。我们在加工时,就要有意地想:某几个简单句能加工成一个复合句或者复杂句;我们的每一个句子的主语是否都是“人”(从头到尾都是he或者we),是否可以用一个抽象名词或者一个ing结构来充当其中某些句子的主语,以此构成主语的变化;在一个“意群”中,是否每个句子都是以主语开始;是否每个句子的谓语动词都是简单的一个动词,能否把其中的某一个或几个改成词组;能否构成一个又一个“短句+长句+短句”的意群组合;对于每一个表述,都可以想一下,这种表述是否太中文化,英语是否有更简单的表达。
某个大诗人曾经说过:诗是“写”出来的,而不应该是“作”出来的。但对我们英语初学者而言,在练习时,还是应该一次又一次地、有意识地经历这样的“作”的过程。“作”多了,方能在“临战”时潇洒地“写”。(作者:梁凯文,华东师大英语系副教授)
英语写作中的“结构重组”问题 各类考试中英语写作虽有模板可循,究其实质,仍是汉译英。任何一名考生在英语写作中,难逃“汉译英”的逻辑套路,所走思路一般为先胸中形成汉语意思,再将汉语意思转换为英文,即便英语素养较高的考生,在两者转换过程中没有时间差,出手即英文也是不太可能的。就在这一转换过程中,尽显英雄本色,英语英雄者,妙笔生花,出手不凡;英语笨拙者,最后只能造出个不中不洋的拙劣句子。我们可以给汉译英一个重新定位:包含所有语言信息的一种结构再造。具体说来就是面对一句中文,翻译时要打乱原有语序和结构,自行设计,重组语言信息,无限靠近原汁原味的英语,姑且将这种方法称之为“结构重组”。这一点是基于这么一个事实:英语跟中文的语序和结构不尽一样。下面举例说明:
(1)简单句类(所谓简单句,即是含有一个动词的句子)
看一例:他嗓门大。最容易翻译成:His voice is loud.评语:超级直白
而更好的翻译是:He has a loud voice.其实就成了 他有一个大嗓门。如果第一步便翻译成he has a loud voice,恭喜,你就被归入少数具备英语思维的高手类了,就这么简单。
对策:多多积攒类似例句,然后多多模仿。
试一个:她身材好,便可翻译成:She has a good figure.(2)复杂句类
看一例:我抬头一看,只见一群衣衫褴褛的孩子,默默无声得站于四周,观看着我俩进餐。
按照原文语序很容易翻成:I looked up and saw that a group of children in rags surrounding us silently and seeing us eating dinner.评语:直白,动词堆砌,不流畅。
先准备语言信息:抬头一看:look up;衣衫褴褛的孩子:children in rags;默默:silently;观看:look at。最后范文是:Looking up, I saw that we were surrounded by children in rags who were looking at us as we ate.(新概念3 第48课line35-36)
分析:范文用到了现在分词作伴随状语(looking up,),主动意思由被动形式表达,(were surrounded by)并设计出一个定语从句来(who were looking at us as we ate)原文中看不出来定语(….的)痕迹。
对策,含有多个动词的句子,将动词进行主次区分,次要动词非谓语化,主要动词谓语化,附带从句设计,定语从句首当其冲现行被考虑。
总之,写句子时,不要立马下手,凝神定气,多三思,在结构安排上有所建树和创新,大胆
将信息重组,结构优化,力图写出地道的英文句子,这是个长期的功夫。
最后建议学员可将新概念2,3 册拿来做汉译英的练习,将每篇课文的中文译文试着翻译成英文,再与原文对照,个中差距,一对照即晓个清楚。
怎样获得英语专业四级考试写作高分
(一)写作题的性质
写作是人们表达思想的一种重要手段,我们称之为comprehensive test的综合测试,体现的是学生综合运用语言的能力。因为它不仅考核考生对词汇的掌握、对语法的应用,同时也考查了学生的表达能力、思维的逻辑性和条理性。我们知道,学习英语需掌握四种技能:听、说、读、写。听和读是语言的input(输入)过程,因而对于听力和阅读的测试是考查学习者的被动英文技能;说和写是语言的output(输出)过程,对于口语和写作的测试则是考查学习者的主动英文技能。学习者的被动英文水平往往高于主动英文水平,因此听力理解材料的难度往往大于口语的内容,阅读理解材料的难度往往要大于写作。由此可见,在经过两年基础专业课的学习后,学习者应该将重点放在把被动英文水平转化成主动英文水平上。一旦我们的大脑有了大量的语言输出之后,就能达到出口成章、下笔有神的境界。
(二)英语专业四级写作要求
(1)能根据各种不同的听读材料笔头回答问题,复述内容写摘要、写提纲和记笔记。
(2)能根据题目列出写作提纲,在一小时内写出200~250词的短文。
以上均要求做到内容完整、条理清楚,语法基本正确,语言通顺恰当。
(3)能写一般的书信、通知、便条、请帖,填写简单的表格,格式正确,语言得体。
写作课培养学生初步写作能力,包括提纲、文章摘要、短文以及最简单的常用应用文。
(三)考试大纲对英语专业写作的要求和规定
(1)测试目的:按照英语专业基础阶段英语教学大纲的要求,检查学生在基础阶 段末期的英语写作能力。
(2)题型:主观试题,分为Section A和Section B两个部分。
Section A: Composition写作文
Section B: Note-writing写便条
(3)测试要求:
a)作文。要求根据所给的题目和列出的写作提纲或图表、数字统计表等(也附有写作提纲)写一篇150词的短文,能做到内容切题、完整,条理清楚,文章结构严谨,语法正确,语言通顺恰当。作文的类别有说明文、议论文或记叙文。考试时间为35分钟。

(五)高分密招
很多学习者翻开作文书籍,就如同想打开一本武功秘籍,只希望看到5个字母trick(技巧)。技巧固然十分重要,但在应试准备中,常常需要70%的基础和30%的技巧。这里要提醒 大家的是,不可高估技巧的作用,犹如在武打片中,要想得到某某宝典和剑法,是需要付出惨痛的代价的。
1.在考场中,常常感到无话可说,该怎么办? 的确,在考场中有些考生由于紧张,常常会出现大脑一片空白,在10分钟之内动不了笔。对于这种在考场中思维短路的现象,有两种对策。
对策一:逆向思维法。考生在拿到一个作文话题、但不知该如何动笔时,可以去联想有关该 话题的具体事件,从具体事件中提炼出观点,再将观点反弹回去,即topic具体事件观点。例如看到The Advantage and Disadvantage of TV这个文章题目时,如果不知如何下笔,可以去联想一些具体的电视节目。一提到电视节目,就会自然而然地想到《新闻联播》。《新闻联播》有哪些好处呢?当然是开拓视野,了解世界。同时,还会联想到一些暴力片和色情片,它们对儿童的身心健康发展不利。
对策二:正说反说法。考生在写作中感到观点空洞茫然,不易理论清楚,甚至不知从何谈起时,可以从正、反两个方面对议题进行“摆事实,讲道理”,即“如果这样,就会怎么样; 如果不这样,又会怎么样”。
2.在写作中,遇到不会表达的词语该怎么办?
对于母语是中文的学习者,其中文词汇量往往大于英文词汇量,在英文写作中遇到不能表 达的词语是最正常不过的事情了。但有的考生在遇到不会拼写的单词时,往往绞尽脑汁,冥思苦想,结果造成思维短路,得不偿失。其实,对于这种情况,也有两种对策。
对策一:用其近义词代替。
如在写Student Use of Computer这篇作文时,很多同学以“在 最近10年里,学生使用电脑的小时数一直在增加”这句话来开头。“10年”可以用decade表 示,“增加”可以用ascend表示。但是不知道这两个词或对于它们的拼写没有把握时,可用 其近义词表示,如“10年”直接用ten years就可以,“增加”还可用increase, go up, rise, grow, jump, climb等。在这个时候,考生必须遵守“宁为瓦全,不可玉碎”的原则。这就要求在平时注意多收集一些同义词。如在每一篇作文中都会用到的一个单词“认为”,英文中有很多单词来表达此义,如think, agree, claim, maintain, argue, believe, h old, suggest, view…as, regard…as, consider…(as)。又如另一个单词“目前,最近”,可用nowadays, these years, recently, lately, currently, at present。此外,同义词的收集与运用有助于考生在写作中用词多样化。
对策二:当考生在写作中,既找不到该词 的近义词,又不能用解释性的语言进行阐述时,考生可以考虑用其上义词或下义词来代替。
上义词是对事物的概括性、抽象性说明;下义词是事物的具体表现形式。如Owing a Car这 篇文章谈到拥有汽车的弊端,其中有一点是汽车会排放出一氧化碳(carbon oxide)和二氧化 碳(carbon dioxide),对空气造成污染。当然,如果不知道如何拼写,更不知该如何去 释义一氧化碳和二氧化碳时,可以用它们的上义词poisonous gases来表示,因为不 论是一氧化碳还是二氧化碳都是有毒气体。又如Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus(大学生该如何走出校园了解世界),提纲的第二点要求是大学生了解社会的途径(大众媒体、社会服务等)。“大众媒体”为mass media,“社会服务”为social service。如果考生不会表达,但是在提纲里又明确规定不能不写时,可以用其下义词来代替。大众媒 体的具体表现形式是TV,radio, newspaper, internet;社会服务的具体表现形式则为par t|time job, tutoring等。因而,考生在写作中遇到不会表达的单词时,应该沉着冷静,考虑用其近义词、上义词或下义词来代替。
如何给阅卷老师留下美好的第一印象
要想作文获得高分,显而易见就是要给阅卷老师留下美好的印象。老师们的阅卷过程是郁闷枯燥的。使自己的文章在大约1分钟的阅读时间内,迅速地在他们的脑海中形成较多的兴奋点,是至关重要的。
首先,作文的写作时间为35分钟,合理的时间安排为10+20+5,前面的10分钟用来读题审题,构思并列提纲,接着的20分钟用来按照提纲写作,最后5分钟用来检查及润色。合理的时 间安排是写出优秀 作文的必不可少的第一步。
其次,卷面的设置。要想让阅卷老师对你的作文试卷有一种赏心悦目的感觉,作文的排版应该不多于2/3,不少于1/3,要留有余地,不要将卷面写得密密麻麻。字体不要过大或过小。字迹要工整。段落方面,英语专业四级考试作文的特点决定了作文写法的基本框架为三段论。俗话说,事不过三,超过了三段后就会让人感到过于繁琐。并且应当注意的是,每段开头都应该有缩进,留有两个单词的位置。
再次,除了形式之外,作文 的内容也尤其重要。阅卷老师阅卷一般是从第一段看语言,从第二段看结构。这就要求考生 的作文开头部分以及每一段的第一句一定要写得像英文,不要出现任何的拼写或语法错误。除了语言的地道外,还要求作文有层次感。可以用一系列表示逻辑关系的连词,即路标 词来表示思路的清晰,如and, however, furthermore,also, what"s more等。此外,还可 以用对等的句式结构,如for one thing, for another; On the one hand, on the other hand等来增加文章的层次感。总之,议论文对语言的要求主要体现在三个方面:①用 恰当的逻辑词表现文章的逻辑性。②要注意自然段与主题句的运用,即用自然段表现出文章 的逻辑性,并在每段中用主题句说明要点,给人一目了然的感觉。③要注意句型结构,注意 每句的重心和句与句之间的衔接,使句意一环扣一环,避免松散。
便条的写作
便条是一种简单的书信形式。要求学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。有急事需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。便条的日期一般只要写上星期几,也可以写明上午、下午的具体时间。便条具有用途广泛、形式简单、文字要求不十分严格的特点。
Should higher education be available to all students or only to good students? TOPIC:
Some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all students.Others believe that higher education should be available only to good students.Discuss these views.Which view do you agree with? Explain why.Some people believe that only good students should have access to a university education.Others posit that higher education should be open to everyone, regardless of their academic abilities.I agree with the former opinion.Universities should only allow good students into their programs because these students value the importance of a good education and are interested in furthering their education.Furthermore, if all students were allowed into universities, the schools would quickly become saturated, and the quality of education received would diminish.A university education is very important to a good student.This type of student has set his/her sights on a university education from early on, and has put in the necessary work to earn a place in a good university.Poor students who did not try to achieve good grades in high school obviously do not care about their education, and therefore, do not deserve to go to university.However, if these poor students go back to school and improve their grades, they should also be allowed to go to university.Good students are very interested in furthering their education.They have put copious amounts of work into their education, and are interested in learning more.Poor students are usually not as interested in furthering their education.If they were interested in this, they would have tried harder to begin with.With that said, let us suppose for a moment that universities did allow all students, regardless of their grades, into university.The school would quickly become overfull, and good students, who really care about their education, would suffer because of it.They might not be able to get into the classes they want, and if they do get in, there might be so many students in the class that it is impossible to learn.In conclusion, I think that it is important to save a university education for those who really want it-good students.If a poor student wishes to go to university, then he/she will have to return to high school and improve his/her grades.TOPIC: [命题作文欣赏] Should schools ask students to evaluate their teachers?
Schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers.Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Teachers have a very difficult job in society.They not only have to learn how to teach material effectively, but also must learn how to deal with a wide variety of personalities.While teaching is a difficult job, I think it is important for schools to ask students to evaluate their teachers.I think this is the right thing to do because it encourages teachers to try their best, it gives students the opportunity to choose effective teachers, and it allows the schools to have the best teachers possible teaching.If a teacher knows that at the end of the term, the students will be evaluating his/her work, then the teacher will be driven to do a very good job.If there is no pressure from evaluation, a teacher might be prone to doing a less than perfect job.I believe that everyone needs an occasional evaluation to ensure they are doing their job correctly.In the case of a teacher, the students will give the most important evaluations.If there was a public summary of which teacher scored the highest on his/her evaluations, then students would be able to take courses based on which teacher was the best at the job.This would allow students to excel in their studies, and achieve better grades.Finally, if schools ask students to evaluate their teachers, the schools themselves would be able to have the best teachers working on campus.If a teacher scored too low on an evaluation, a replacement could be found.This is a much better method than waiting for students to complain about a teacher.Teachers do have a difficult job, but regardless of this, they must excel at it.If a person is a particularly poor teacher, the students will not learn the required material, and suffer for it.

increasingly aware of the importance of co-ordination and co-operation among co-workers.I also believe the experience will qualify me for the current vacancy in your company.I passed both CET-4 and CET-6 with high marks.My spoken English is also fluent enough to organize meetings in English, which was actually my routine work in HP.Most of my market reports were presented in English, as my former boss is a native English speaker
I enclose herein my resume and some relevant documents as re¬quired.And if you need any further information on me, I also refer you to Mr.Johnson, my ex-colleague, who is available at 021-66668888.I appreciate your sincere consideration of me, and am looking forward to an early interview with you.Sincerely yours,Wang Peng
