On Excessive Packaging
In recent years we can see quite a lot of products are excessively packaged.My newly bought shirt come swathed in tissue paper, placed in a cardboard box and then finished off in wrapping paper.Why do people have a liking for excessive packaging?
There are many reasons that contribute to this phenomenon.Firstly, producers are profit-driven and they can raise the prices of their products by delicate packaging so as to make much more profit.Secondly, consumers tend to think it more decent to purchase well-packaged products, especially when they want to buy gifts for their friends.The last but not the least, imperfect taws and regulations make it not possible to completely ban excessive packaging.In my opinion, besides the cost for buyers, excessive packaging also results in the waste of resources and environment pollution.To solve the problem, it's necessary to take the following measures.First, laws and regulations must be perfected to restrict excessive packaging.Second, we need to raise consumer's awareness that delicate packaging doesn't equal to high quality.Meanwhile, we need to advocate packaging recycling.[解析]

近年来我们可以看到相当多的产品包装过度。我新买的衬衫来裹着卫生纸,放在一个纸箱里,然后结束了在包装纸。为什么人们喜欢过度包装吗? 有许多原因导致这一现象。首先,生产者利益驱动和他们可以提高他们产品的价格由精致的包装,使更多的利润。其次,消费者往往认为它更体面的购买产品精准,尤其是当他们想买礼物给他们的朋友。最后但不是最少,鞭打和法规不完善使它不可能完全禁止过度包装。
在我看来,除了成本,过度包装也对买家导致的资源浪费和环境污染。为了解决这个问题,有必要采取以下措施。首先,必须完善法律法规来限制过度包装。第二,我们需要提高消费者的意识,精致的包装不等于高质量。与此同时,我们需要提倡包装回收。

Nowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, to name but a few.There are several causes of excessive packaging.The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits.On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging.In my point of view, excessive packaging has disastrous consequences, including the loss of precious resources, excessive consumption of water and energy, and unnecessary extraction of scarce land for landfill.To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures.First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging of companies.In addition, we need to raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal to high quality and advocate packaging recycling.【解析】

Directions: You're 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 time.”You'd write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Outlines:
1.坚强的意志是成功的重要保证。
2.意志坚定的人才能完成伟大的使命,3.学生也是这样,不刻苦学习,终究不会成为有用之才
Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
With the coming of a brand new era full of opportunities and innovations, the issue of how to succeed has aroused growing concern in the public.Although there are thousands of ways to success, in my opinion, a strong will is the important guarantee of success, just as a proverb says, “Where there is a will there is a way”.The long history of human being has proved that only those who have a strong will can fulfill great mission and achieve success at last.Nothing succeeds without a strong will.Take Mao Zedong, one of the great founders of the People’s Republic of China, as an example.If without the strong will to save Chinese people from heavy disaster and build a prosperous, democratic and civilized new country, how could he drive Japanese out of China and become such a famous leader in the world?
If we as a student want to be successful in the future, the strong will on hardworking is the most important.Nowadays, we have been entering an information age with rapid update of knowledge.Who firstly seizes and keeps up with the development of advanced information can succeeds at last.Therefore, studying hard to get more knowledge and improve our ability to handle complicated problems as possible is the only way to lay the solid foundation of future success.Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
“Where there is a will, there is way” is an old proverb which almost everyone knows, but not all understand it so well.Actually, it means that if you are really resolved to do something, no matter how difficult it might be, never give up.In fact, strong will is a kind of good quality which successful people should own.A great man is always one who has a firm resolution and an inflexible spirit.One will never succeed all his life without a firm will to get the final victory.As a rule, great tasks are accomplished by men of strong will.For example, Dr.Sun Yatsen, the founder of the Republic of China, set the Chinese people free from the Manchurian rule through a long period of hard struggle.Many of his attempts failed and many of his followers were killed, but he had an inflexible spirit and stuck to his cause.Finally, he made the revolution of 1911 a success.The same is true of men in all walks of life.It is quite obvious that there is nothing difficult in the world, if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end.That stands to reason.So as for students like us, we should have a good attitude towards failure.Facing with difficulties and failures, keep heads up and never give up.Besides, we should make full preparation, though strong will help us overcome the difficulties, it is not for person who has no preparation.2011年6月大学英语四级考试

Doing Shopping Online
With the development of the Internet, shopping is no longer a tiring thing.Just click your mouse to choose the articles you like, and the purchase is done.You don't even have to step out of the room.It seems all easy and quick.However, people's opinions vary on this trend.Some believe that on line shopping is time and money saving.With plentiful selection options, they can buy whatever they like at any time convenient.Still others insist that mis-purchasing alone is annoying enough, not to mention the credibility of the sellers and the safety of their accounts.In my opinion, the convenience and excitement of on line shopping is beyond all doubts.In the meantime, we must always bear in mind that certain traps do exist, so we'd better make sure the sellers are trustworthy before buying.In addition, we should also guard ourselves from the potential hackers who might steal our account information.文章点评:
这是一篇“中等偏上”的学生作文。本文先对网购热潮进行简介,引出全篇;接着对网络购物的正反两方面进行对比;最后提出自己的看法结束全篇。整体看思路清晰,逻辑严密,行文流畅,用语较为地道。
下面说一下这篇文章的有待提高之处:
1.文章结构上,能看得出该同学试图采用议论文的“三段式”(提出问题、分析问题、解决问题)。但是,以“With the development of the Internet”为开首语,有些落入俗套,有硬套模板的嫌疑。稍加注意,应该能写出更好的句子。
2.微观语言点方面,有些语句稍显啰嗦,比如With plentiful selection options„ 简化成With plentiful selections„ 更好,意思没有丝毫减损,表达力反而增强许多。

本次四级作文探讨的是最近的热点话题之一——互联网网购。目前网购的风靡程度是众所周知,因此,考生对于该话题还是比较熟悉的。但是,比较特殊的是,题干所列出的要求的是考生从一个客观的角度来阐述该话题,而不是简单陈述自己的意见。所以,考生应当审清楚题,在写作时不仅仅要列出网购的优点,还必须给出相应的缺点。
按照四级作文的要求,考生在第一段时应该总述现象并引出话题;
第二段考生应当从正反两方面来论述网购,分别铺陈其优缺点;关于优点,网购的优点很多,考生可择其最突出显著的方面来阐述,比如说网购可以节省很多时间;网购可以节省很多成本开支等;其次,缺点方面考生可以把重心放在诚信方面;为了不至于跟优点相比,缺点方面太轻,考生可以考虑稍微提一下其他缺点,比如说与传统购物相比,网购少去了很多砍价的乐趣;
第三点要求考生对于第二段列出的缺点给出自己的建议。此处我们可以根据第二段列出的缺点方面给出相应的防范应对措施。
整篇作文话题比较好展开,难度不大,只要考生审好题,列出相应点,相信作文不会他是难题。

Nowadays, an increasing number of families in China have only one child.Most parents love and care for children so much as to help children deal with every problem.Consequently, children get used to depending on their parents in everything and lack the ability to solve problems independently.There are some effective ways for parents to help their children to be independent.To start with, parents should give their children more chances to experience the world and life around them.Thus their children can enhance the capability to overcome the difficulties and handle problems independently.In addition, parents should offer enough assistance when their children need advice.In this way, they depend on their parents in a right way and can solve problems independently when they face the same one next time.Last but not least, parents should allow
their children to make decisions independently.From the above discussion, I strongly believe that parents should help their children to be independent by instructing them in a proper way rather than planning and considering everything for them.2010年6月大学英语四级考试
Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling

3.为了改变这种状况,我认为….Nowadays, students attach little importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study.This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon.First, exam-oriented education makes students pay little attention to spelling.Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching.Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it.As I see it, first, exams should be modified to add spelling into it.Then, schools should establish effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as students to realize the importance.Finally, students should be interested in word spelling.Only in this way, can we surely realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.2009年12月大学英语四级作文

Limiting the Use of Disposable Plastic Bags1、一次性塑料袋的使用。
2、一次性塑料袋带来的问题。
3、限制一次性塑料袋的意义。
In our daily life, most people use disposable plastic bags for shopping and other purposes.However, the excessive use of disposable plastic bags has resulted in a great damage to our environment.The problems brought by disposable plastic bags are various, ranging from environment to people's health.In the first place, it takes years for the plastic products to decompose and be absorbed by the soil.Secondly, the use of disposable plastic bags will indirectly do harm to people's health.Sometimes people buy hot food packed into disposable plastic bags for saving time to wash their dining utensils.Yet they are not informed of the chemical material the bags release in high temperature.Therefore, they are also eating the poisonous stuff while enjoying the tasty food.It's enlightening and significant that our government has banned the use of disposable plastic bags officially, and people will be charged for the use of such bags.This action is reducing the consumption of bags to a great extent.It is a great measure for the sustainable development of our earth.满分作文实录
Education, which gets children ready for challenges in the future, is of vital importance to them.Nowadays, more and more parents tend to send their kids to art classes to make sure that they will maintain an advantageous position in the increasingly fierce competition, which has given rise to a wide range of controversy.Some people support this idea, arguing that it will give the children a well-rounded education.In contrast, those who criticize the idea contend that it will do harm to the children rather than benefit them.From my point of view, the above-mentioned issue should be approached through a thorough analysis of the specific situation at hand.On one handclasses.Firstly, art classes can provide the kids with an effective way to relax themselves after a whole day’s tedious study.By listening to music or drawing some pictures, they can relax themselvesand return to study with renewed vigor.Secondly, children will have more opportunities to learn a different kind of culture if they take art classes.By being exposed to art, they are able to broaden their horizons.As a matter of fact, many subjects are interrelated(at)such a tight level that the study of one subject may help that of another.For example, the practice of drawing pictures may promote children’s understanding of geometry and math.Thirdly, children will have more chance to make different kinds of friends by taking art classes, which is very important to their mental health.On the other hand, parents should never force their children to take art classes if they show no interest or talent in art.Children may feel depressed or even refuse to take other classes if they are forced to learn art lessons against their own will.Only when they are indeed interested in art can we
In conclusion, whether parents should send their children to art classes should be determined by children’s interests.If they like, we may let them take the classes.But if they have no interest, parents should respect their will.(368 words)

就书信作文而言,作文内容固然重要,但语体更是问题。英文书信大致可分为事务书信(Business Letters)和个人书信(Personal Letters)两种。前者是单位与单位或个人与单位之间来往的信件,语体比较正规(formal);后者则是个人与个人之间的飞鸿,表达较为随便(Personal)。但有时,同一封信可以采用正式与非正式两种语体表达,这就要求考生具有明辨和变换语体的能力。会变换语体,就要掌握大量词汇和句子结构、套语,尤其是同义词的不同感情色彩以及委婉语气和祈使句的应用。一般说来,正式文多采用包含would, should, might 等情态动词的语句,而个人书信除对师长的客套外,大都可融进少量口语体的句子(如祈使句、感叹句等)。值得一提的是广义虚拟语气在书信中的应用(凡要表达客气委婉的语气或留有余地的主观愿望而使用的虚拟语气属广义用法)。广义虚拟语气涉及到若干固定句式,比如: 1 陈述看法
I believed/thought/guessed/supposed/…that+表述内容(用过去时代替现在时是客气委婉的表示。)2 提出劝告、建议
It would/could be fine to do … You might as well do … You should do… 提出请求、询问意向
I would(very much)like to V … Could you...Would you … 4 表明意向
I was wondering if … I wondered if …
以上句式在正式或比较正式的书信中是常见的,应学会使用。

January 12th, 2002 Dear Mr.President,I am a student here.I write you this letter to say a few words about the dining halls in this university.First, the food in the dining halls is not delicious enough, either too salty or too watery, especially in Dining Hall 3.Second, the prices in dining hall are very high and usually we cannot afford it.Third, the dining halls are always very crowed and we can seldom find seats if arriving there not early enough and the tables are not cleaned in time.Anyway,what is good is that the working staff in the dining halls are quite kind, friendly and patient, and they usually try their best to meet the demand of the students and teachers.Thus I suggest enlarging the dining halls and improving the quality of foods and reducing the prices to what is acceptable to all the students.Best wishes.Yours sincerely,Li Ming

An Eye-witness Account of a Traffic Accident
Last Friday morning I was standing at the bus stop waiting for Bus No.375.Because several lines pass by the station and it was rush hour, many people had gathered there before next bus came, some off the pavement, others on the lawn.A bus pulled into the station at last.Before I recognized the number of the packed bus, people already thronged
forward and fought their way to the door.Suddenly I heard somebody shout “Help!Help!” It was from the crowd.All the passengers looked toward the point where the sound came from.A pregnant woman was lying on the road nearby the bus door, bleeding all over.I was frightened and dazed.An ambulance came and took the woman to hospital.Buses came and went, but I just stood there, lost in thought.Probably because time and tide wait for no man, people in modern society are always in a hurry, lest they should be left behind and even dismissed.There can never be peace of mind.Thus rises the number of traffic accident.If there were less pressure on people, there might be fewer accidents.【公众演讲稿】
下面我们看一下公众演讲。大体来说,公众演讲可分为四类:
“ 信息型演讲(informative speech)
” 劝说型演讲(persuasive speech)
“ 娱悦型演讲(entertaining speech)
” 激励型演讲(stimulating speech)
一般来说,演讲包括六个部分:
“ 问候语(Greetings)
” 提出话题(Presentation of the Topic)
“ 论述话题(Discussion of the Topic)
” 结束话题(Conclusion of the Topic)
“ 呼吁行动(Appeal to Action)
” 结尾语(Closing Remarks)
当然虽然一个演讲包括以上六部分,但未必是六段,在四级考试中,可以把问候语、提出话题合为一段,论述话题一段或两段,而把结束话题、呼吁行动以及结尾语融在一起为一段。

当今世界旅游事业蓬勃发展,旅游业已成为各国重要的经济部门。为了招揽游客,导游解说和旅游指南就显得十分必要,大学英语考试中有关旅游的题目也是很多。导游解说除了开头结尾的客套话,中间则是对景点的介绍,而旅游指南里面大部分也是对景点大介绍。导游解说词和旅游指南的语言既具有广告宣传文字的特点,也具有某些报导文字和游记文字的特色。其语言既比较规范,又具有大众化,辞令明快优美,富于表现力和说明力,向旅游者介绍某个地方的特色,提供游览的信息,帮助游人了解和欣赏要游览的地方,有时还告诉游客诸如交通、食宿、花费、时间表等出外旅游常见问题。

第四篇:大学英语四级作文真题解析
大学英语四级作文真题解析
四级的题型包括论说文、说明文、记叙文。2017年6月份我们考的是考应用文,卖的是二手车、二手电脑,12月份考的是文字当中的A或者B的形式,到底是工作还是考研,到底是国企还是外企。2017年12月考到的是大家关心的医闹问题,同学感觉到这个问题比较伤感。医闹怎么说?我们可以翻成“医疗的一些问题、争端或者冲突”等等。这是第一套题。第二套题,讲的是所谓的老师和学生之间的关系如何营造。第三套题,父母和孩子的关系。
大家发现这道题从审题的难度来讲基本长没有什么难度,基本上是初中、小学词汇,题干不会出现什么问题。“How to”题型已经考过三次,重点在如何(how),也就是说我们重点是方法。从内容上来讲,但是发现这三道考题之间的关系是大家非常熟悉的话题,比说医闹关系,医生和患者之间的关系,老师和学生的关系,这是教育的话题,再比如家长和孩子之间的关系等等,所以从题材到内容来说都是四级考生已经必备的知识要素。
我们的四六级的写作满分是15分,包括两部分,第一是奖励分,第二是基本分的部分。
首先,奖励分是卷面的问题,大家都喜欢美的事物。也就是说要保持卷面清晰,给老师留下好的第一印象。第二是基本分。这里包括三部分。
第一是文章的结构。
我们在写作文的时候分三个层次,总分总的原则,第一自然段我们一定要进行引题部分,第二是分析,第三是总结。第一段把医患关系,家长和孩子关系,学生和老师的关系等等,这些核心的主题词引导出来。
第二是分析。根据不同文章的要求,不同文章的题材进行分析的过程。重点在方法、建议的措施上。所以这个文章中间分析的环节,重点讲的是建议、措施和方法。
第三是总结。注意要加上所谓逻辑关系词。比如三个方法,或者是三个建议的措施,三个原因,三个危害等等。
这是英语考试,大家一定要想清楚我们每句话首先保证的是准确,其次保证的是漂亮。如何保证准确漂亮?第一个是词的运用,我们在刚才的文章当中,是否出现了“重要important”这个单词,你可以换一些高级的词汇essential,当你把这些常见的单词进行高级化的替换以后,你的分值就会提高。再说一下句型的文化。好的文章,不仅是句子准确,还要考虑句子的高级化。比如说你是否运用了非谓语动词等高级语法。

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[参考作文]Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?
[参看范文一]
One can always find visitors taking pictures and enjoying the scenery in
university compus.During the May Day Holiday, National Day Holiday, summer and winter vacations, many University campuses become popular tourist sites.In my opinion, university campus should be open to tourists.In fact, there are many royal gardens and parks, all of them obviously better than the scenery in the Universities.Why do you think people prefer visiting here with their children? That is because it is a dream goal for many Chinese parents and young ambitious students.Besides this, as more tourists come to visit universities, these universities can widen their influence as well and they can also make some profit from the tourism.In a word, I think the university compus should be open to the tourists
[参看范文二]
In university compus, especially in some famous ones, such as Peking University and Qinghua University, tourists are always seen looking around everywhere.Although most of them visit with hope and repect, I think university compus should not be open to tourists.First, tourists' visit will disturb the normal teaching.They always get into teaching buildings, libraries and so on.They will make noise and throw rubbish everywhere.Second, some tourists trample grass to take photos, and sculpture on trees to leave words.These will affect the environment of the compus badly.The university is a holy place for study, not for tourism.So It should not be open.2006年6月作文及范文

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

[参考范文]
范文一
Nowadays, there usually exists a wide selection of electives for college students to choose from.However, students have quite different plans for their future so they always end up learning courses based on their own ideas.Some students may choose to learn a certain course in order to obtain an extra certificate for their job hunting after graduation.Because they assume that some more knowledge could ensure more chances of winning in finding a good job.Others may have their choice made just for fun.They tend to hold the idea that college life could be more colorful if they could widen their knowledge through elective courses.As far as I’m concerned, I’m inclined to choose electives based on both the value of the courses and the interest of my own.范文二
Nowadays many college students prefer to have electives in their spare time because the courses can offer a variety of skills and abundant knowledge apart from what they learn in the daily courses.There are many factors that may account for it, and the following are the most conspicuous aspects.To start with, many students want to get another degree besides their own, so that they can have more competence when they seek a job.Furthermore, as for me, I don’t care about degree or job, I just want to obtain some necessary skills to make my college life worthwhile.What I’m concerned most is how to own more skills that may be necessary for my future.Finally, some students want to learn anything that is different from what they are learning now.The science students, for example, want to know about Shakespeare while the art students want to tell how a vehicle works and how to deal with it when it breaks down.So, they can all get what they think is useful to their college life.On the whole, the phenomenon is one of the results of multi-demand of the employment market.There is still a long way for us to improve the elective itself, but as a student myself, I find it rewarding and interesting.范文三
What Electives To Choose
With the reform of Chinese higher education, more and more colleges and universities put emphasis on nurturing students’ abilities.As a result, elective courses are available not only for excellent academic performers but also for students about the average level.Certainly, students have different reasons to choose their own electives.For some, practical skills are the essence of college education, and therefore, courses on computer science, marketing, and finance are highly preferred.On the other hand, others may hold the idea of liberal education and electives concerning literature, history, and philosophy are the most welcome.Take me as an example: being a disciple of free education, I stand for the notion that university is not a place for survival skills, but a palace of knowledge and critical reasoning.Although my major is chemistry, the electives I attend most frequently are English literature, an Introduction to Classic Music, and Different Schools of Western Painting.They really widen my horizon.Free admission to museums

Free Admission to Museums(满分版)
Nowadays, an increasing number of museums are admission-free to visitors home and abroad.The hidden reason behind this is not hard to analyze as there’s a growing awareness for the authorities regarding the urgency of popularization of culture, knowledge and history with every average person in our society.Only with free access to this live ‘database’, can most people fully enjoy what museums could offer to them.However, free admission to museums might lead to some social problems as well.The most obvious problem is that it might give museums a very heavy economic burden which directly impedes the sustainable development of these organizations.As a result, our government has to work out other ways to collect funds from different
channels, which might be difficult to operate or control.On the other hand, free admission attracts too many visitors, some of which might not be well-purposed and do some conscious or unconscious damage to the valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved in the museums.As a university student, I am in favor of the free-admission conduct.Yet it is proposed that some measures should be taken to solve the potential problems caused by it.For example, museums can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some ‘closed’ days for museums for regular maintenance.Only in this way can free-admission to museums become a long-lasting phenomenon and have sustainable development.2010年

How Should Parents Help Children to be Independent
Nowadays, there is a growing concern over such a phenomenon, that is, some parents take care of almost everything concerned with their children, including study, work, marriage.Some parents believe that this is love, however, it is only to destroy
children’s independence thoroughly.For the future of the next generation, more efforts should be made by parents to help their children to be independent.The fundamental one is to cultivate the awareness, namely, the importance and necessity of being independent, which is supposed to begin from childhood.Children should be taught that no one can be stronger and more helpful than themselves in this world.The quality of independence is so indispensable for us that parents had better act as a tutor, not a dictator.And only with parents’ trust, can the next generation accumulate confidence step by step.In recent days, we have to face a problem-----A, which is becoming more and more serious.--------(说明A的现状).

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