2.作为一名员工,为本饭店的发展提建议
Dear General Manager,As a staff of Sales Department, I'm very glad to see the rapid development of our hotel.With the coming of New Year, I am writing to you to pre I think more on the further improvement of our hotel-to establish a website of our own to attract more clients.Firstly, with the development of Internet, more and more people are willing to go to the outside world through the information on Internet.Thus if we could establish our own website and introduce ourselves on it, more friends, especially foreign friends, could know our latest promotion at home whenever they want.Secondly, according to the statistics of World Hotel Association, 33% of clients made hotel reservation through the Internet last year.And the proportion will largely increase in year 2000.Thus if we could introduce reservation system on our homepage, clients could contact us and make reservation directly.Finally, hotel promotion on Internet could reduce our operation cost greatly.As someone says that Internet shorten the distance of the world, I believe that the one who could make use of Internet effectively today will be the winner tomorrow.We will get a lot and have a brilliant future.Yours sincerely,Livia Lim
3.用纳税人的钱修路,改善交通状况
To construct and maintain roads is a public service administered by the government.However,swheresdoes the money come from? Somebody believe that the government should allocate money from national finance on the road construction;but others think that the roads are constructed for people, so every tax-payer has the responsibility for constructing and maintaining the roads.It is so called“What is taken from the people is used in the interests of the people.”
To the first opinion, since government is the administrative organ, it has responsibility to do overall plan on those public services of city construction, including constructing the road.They think that the government should do plan and allocate every penny on all things concerning people's life.However in reality, the government cannot do all specific plans and money allocations on every detail concerning the society running.It only has the right of macro-adjustment and control.To be specific on the road construction, many people believe that based on the principle above, since the road1
is constructed for the convenience of people themselves, every tax-payer has duty to devote a little on the road construction, which is not only for the city overall plan, but also for their own use fundamentally.Once the constructions finish, the roads will be wider and longer, the facilities along the roads will be better in use, by then people could further improve their working efficiency, etc..As I know, the second opinion is more reasonable and feasible, because it has two advantages: 1.The government could reduce heavy burdens, simplify and make clear the usage of money;2.Tax-payers are clear about the usage of money they turn over, thus improve the transparency.Therefore, it is a good measure for both sides to allocate money from the tax paid by people on the road construction.4.遗失信----财物遗失在民航班机上,写信给机场海关请求帮助

5.有人给学校捐款,建议如何使用。
Dear President, November 11, 1999
I'm very happy to hear that a famous author has donated considerable money to our institute.And I think we could use it to establish an education fund to aid our teachers to study abroad.Firstly, teachers could increase their teaching level and enrich their knowledge by studying aboard.For teachers of a language institute, this kind of experience is really necessary.Teachers would consider that as a kind of prize and therefore work harder for that.Secondly, our institute could be benefited from doing that.Since we could provide the overseas-studying chance for our teachers, graduates with high score in the Normal Colleges are more willing to come to our institute.Thirdly, that will help our students.Our last year's survey showed that 65% of our students prefer the language teachers who had overseas-studying experience.In a word, I think that using the donated fund to assist our teachers to study abroad is a good way to promote the healthy development of our institute.Please take good consideration of my advice.Thanks!
Yours sincerely,Livia Liu

8.给小孩零用钱的利与弊(Pocket Money)
With the development of our modern society, people's living conditions become much more comfortable.But along with intense competition, parents have less time to consider children's needs in all-round.One method to solve this ontradiction is to give children some pocket money.Pocket money is useful to children.But whether the children are considerable enough to make correct use of these money.There are two viewpoints about the pocket money.Some people think that giving children pocket money will make them become luxurious.Others think that will not lead to such disadvantage.In my opinion,both of them are partially reasonable.Someone believe that giving children pocket money really has many advantages.With pocket money, children can buy their daily necessities such as pencils, little toys, and snack food they like.It will give children a certain freedom to select what they want, make them aware rules of the equivalent exchange.Since time to parents is very precious, giving pocket money to children help them to save time spent in shopping, but used in busy working and earning money.Others insist that there are undoubtedly some disadvantages in spending pocket money.First, young children do not know how to use pocket money appropriately, they possibly consume all the money to buy expensive merchandise that they like, and then ask for extra money from their parents.Some parents cosset their children, and always give them a large amount of pocket money.Such conditions will make children become more and more prodigal.Second, since adults do not supervise the procedure of shopping, children could probably buy something that is not suitable for their age, such as adult magazines.Judging these two viewpoints above-mentioned, I think that parents should give their children a limited amount of pocket money.There are some preconditions: the amount of pocket money must be finite;the parents should instruct their children how to use the money moderately and what is suitable to them;for a costly merchandise, parents themselves should take children to buy it.With these preconditions, pocket money will do no harm to their children.9.父母是否应该花更多的时间同子女在一起
In China, both of the parents have their jobs.With the development of economy, people tend to pursue high quality living conditions.Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children.In my point of view, no matter how busy they are, they should make the best use of their time to stay with their children.First, the love between children and adults will be improved by spending more time on their children.Children could feel parents' affection through the genial conversation and sharing their pleasure with them.Every time when parents take them to amusement park, help them to prepare their birthday parties, applaud for them when they are competing in the sports meeting, the time they spend with children will become treasure in their memories.Second, children need the direction from their parents.There are some wrong behaviors in our society such as dishonesty, corruption, violence and eroticism and so on.Children have weak resistance in defending this detrimental influence.In this case, parents' instructions seem to be very important to children's growth.Parents should sit down and talk with them about what they should do and should not do.In addition, if parents often spend time in staying with their children, adults' good behaviors will greatly influence their children.Here I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time on children.Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests.Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy works.10.你因病住院,写表扬信,表扬医护人员的医德,服务,环境卫生
Dear Sir:
I am a business man from America, and my name is David Smith.Last month it was the first time that I traveled to Beijing for business, signing a contract with a Chinese food company.Unfortunately I got a bad flu and then had a fever.I was sent to your hospital.Because my temperature was nearly 40 degree centigrade, I was asked to be in hospital.I worried about my business and the delay of signing the contact will lead to great losses to my company.However, After the doctors' careful treatment and
nurses' patient care, I was recovered only in 4 days.I completed the negotiation with the food company smoothly and signed the contract on time finally.So I sincerely appreciate all the staffs in your hospital who helped me full-heatedly.I was deeply impressed by the kind doctors and nurses, the pleasant and comfortable environment, and considerate services.I have no relatives and friends in Beijing, but I felt at home in your hospital.I will always remember all those warmhearted persons and your hospital in my heart.Best wishes to you all!
Sincerely yours,David Smith
11.Children learn best by observing the behavior of adults and copying it.The Process of growing up is very complex for children.Among countless factors that influence children's growth, the behavior of adults plays a significant role in shaping children's inclination and character.After the baby is born, the first and the nearest adults are his/her parents.Although the baby is just slur pronunciation, the little baby has started to learn from their parents by observing and copying the adults' talk.This learning environment is important for the babies.There is a special case reported by the press.A baby was abandoned when she was born.A sow fed her as a piglet.When she was about eight years old, some villagers found her, her intelligence was just similar to the two-year old baby and all of her behaviors were looked like a pig.From this case, we know child is a “mirror” which will reflect the behavior of the closet adults.Along with the children's growth, adults will influence them much more, such as logical thinking, making decision, cooperation with others, etc..The behavior of adults can give children both good and bad influence.Most of the behaviors represent adults' inclination.For instance, if media report chiefly on the shadow side of the society, children will easily incline to violence and excessive sex.Therefore, they will be infected with bad mental state.Behavior is a direct and convincing method to teach children.Things are easier said than done.Parents always tell children those principles repeatedly, but most children can not accept it through these boring method.Adults' behavior is the most effective education method to let them observe the whole process of how to deal with the problems.The children will learn from you naturally.Children are like young trees, they need to be carefully irrigated, fertilized and trimmed.Your behavior will be greatly helpful to shape themsintosuseful talents.12.Zoos are sometimes seen as necessary but poor alternative to a natural environment.Is it necessary to keep animals in zoos?
In the modern society, zoos are almost indispensable places in large cities for people to visit.In some large zoos, there are various animals from space to sea, and from primitive invertebrates to advanced and intelligent mammals.In the zoos, all animals, including those rare animals, such as panda, Africa elephant, and North-East tiger, could enjoy good care and protection away from any hurt.However, along with the stronger natural environmental protection consciousness, many people think that to put animalssintossmall cages will change their living instincts, and therefore break the ecological balance.Viewed from the basic relations between animals and human beings, animals should have the equal freedom with human beings.They are all forms of life.Animals have their own living instinct, and it is this instinct that forms the biological chain of the Earth.This relation is called “Ecological Balance” academically.For example, insect-bird-snake.If most birds in a region are killed and lockedsintoscages by human beings, the pests will eat out all crops, and snakes will lose a large part of food(bird)-resources, therefore leading to starvation and death.This opinion sounds ideal theoretically.However in reality, human beings and other animals cannot stay together peacefully on the Earth.Because of human beings' lust for fortune, many valuable animals are killed or sold, especially those endangered species.Therefore, zoos appear as an active way for people to protect those poor animals.First, this is an action not only for animals but also for human being itself.Once the biological chain is broken, human beings will be punished inevitably.Next, zoos can serve a purpose of educating and entertaining people, narrowing the distance between human beings and animals.Last, zoos can be a scientific study center to rescue more endangered spices and make animals better serve people's need.The key point of this topic is freedom or protection.In my opinion, those two aspects can be unified.It is necessary to keep animals in zoos for the purpose of protection, teaching and study.Let's think it further, the purpose of all these actions is to make animals live happier, therefore, maintain the ecological balance, hence protect our own living environment.

【简介】:Somepeoplepreferplanningforthefuturewhileothersarguethatweshouldfocusonthepresent.Whatisyouropinion?Givereasonsforyouranswerandincludeanyrelevantexamp
文 章 来 源 自 3 e du教 育网Some people prefer planning for the future while others argue that we should focus on the present.What is your opinion? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.真题大意:有人认为应该计划将来,也有人认为重点就是现在。你同意哪一种想法? 请说出你的道理,并却从个人的知识或经验中,举出例子来证明。
Example Writing:
The present is where everything begins and there is no time like the present.Without being prisoners of the past, winners prefer working in the changing present toward the unpredictable future.The trouble with some people is that they are planning only for the unforeseeable time to nete and not facing the reality now.Paradoxically, the future is now.It is more realistic to regard life as an awareness of the present rather than a prediction beyond knowledge.Since the future is anybody's guess, “one today is worth two tomorrows,” to quote Benjamin Franklin.Therefore, the way we live and the way we work ought to keep in step with the present leading to the future.The logic may be that we can only learn from the past, and on the other hand the future does not affect us now as much as does the present.It also makes sense that the way to plan tomorrow is to enjoy living and working as wisely and beautifully today as possible.Our argument for focusing on today may as well be based on the fact that the present does not sit still for a portrait, but is changing constantly.Change being the law of life, concentrating our mind on what is happening in the present is probably more true to life than dreaming of the future.It means that life for us today is always beneting and never being.Obviously, today has its own problems to be solved, so there is no need to be over troubled about the future.Accordingly, it is better not to foresee the future but be
concerned about taking care of the present.It is one thing to prefer planning for the future, but it is quite another to control the change that follows soon enough.Focusing on the present is more important than merely planning for the future because right now is one of the moments we are influencing our future.Practically, we should see the future in the present which carries more weight in real life.It stands to reason that the future actually begins now.

第五篇:如何面对雅思考试作文
上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
如何面对雅思考试作文
对于雅思考试中的大作文,想要获得高分,写好开头是尤为重要的。为了写出来的内容能够吸引考官的眼球,不少同学冥思苦想各种高级词汇。为大家总结出几条实用性高,又能顺利引出下文的经典作文开头,帮助大家获得高分。
导入句和主题句,二者缺一不可。而导入句又分为背景导入句和观点导入句。考虑到主题句和观点导入句都是属于非常简单的环节,小编接下来将重点讲解背景导入句的写法。我们先来看一个引言段:
Thanks totechnological advances, we have spawned numerous products like the computersand the Internet and thusaltered our lifestyles completely.However, somepeople argue that the recent technologies have destroyed the bondbetweenfamilies and friends and brought much more negative effects to the society.Personally, I would disagree.这是一个标准的50字左右的雅思大作文引言段,应该说总体写得还是很流畅的,比如它的导入句意思衔接合理,观点鲜明且导入题目充分,所以这样一个
上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 引言段若是能够在考场中写出来的话应该可以满足大部分考生的期望。然而,如果我们深入分解了这个引言段后,我们其实不难发现,写法技巧上非常朴实,第一个句子是对于题目的背景描述,第二个句子给出了第三方的立场,而最后一个句子表明了自己的态度。
下面如何面对雅思考试作文
在拿到一个考题后,首先当然我们必须把它认真仔细得阅读2-3遍,然后在心里默默地翻译给自己听。在充分理解了题目以及写作指令后,接着就要进行立场的选择,这里需要特别强调的是审题结束后马上就给出一个明确的立场是很必要的,它也在很大程度上决定了引言段一上来的几个句子的意思选择。我们在引言段最初的1到3个句子里是对考题的背景导入,要做好这一步,我们还是得从2个简单句说起,即主谓宾和主系表。所有接下来的句子,不论长短,都是从这2种简单句发展出来的。我们在创造这2个句子时,主系表通常是从主语的功能、作用和影响这3个方面入手。那主语又是什么呢?一般来说,在主系表这个结构中的主语,可以是考题中直接涉及的某个名词,也可以是围绕这个核心名词的一些外围名词,举个例子来讲:
上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
Shoppinghas become a favorite pastime for some young people.Do we need to encourageyoung people to do somethingmore useful in their free time? What is youropinion?
这个题目的核心词汇当然就是“shopping”这一词了,若采用主系表原创背景导入句的话,一般我们是以这个词作为句子的主语,但是如果我们再思考一下,其实“pastime”或者是它的近义词也是可以作为句子的主语的。两者的区别在于直接用“shopping”作主语写出来的句子就直接和题目产生了关系,马上就充分引入了背景;而使用“pastime”或者是近义的名词作为主语的话可能我们还需要再写1到2个句子才能将题目涉及的背景充分导入到引言段中。但是这2种构思其实都还是非常不错的。我们不妨再来通过另外一个题目加深对刚才这种主语选择的理解:
People arenow able to perform everyday tasks such as shopping, banking, businesstransactions without meetingothers face-to-face.What are the effects on bothindividuals and the society as a whole?
这个考题的核心词汇就不如之前那个题目那么容易找到了,我们需要具备一
上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 定的概括能力才能使用诸如“modern lifestyle”或者“e-commerce”之类的词来作为第一句话的主语。同时,在题目中它涉及的几个例子,像在线银行交易,网购等其实也可以作为主语,2类主语选择的区别我想大家应该可以通过前面一个例子的分解明白了吧?
会选合适的主语以后,接着我们就来选择恰当的表语,尽管我们无需讲出表语的定义,但是首先有必要讲一下表语的词性,有3种,名词,形容词和不定式。只有知道其3种词性,我们才能准确地选择词汇。在主语确定后,我们就通过对于主语的功能、作用和影响3方面入手,在名词、形容词和不定式里选择一种来造句。比如:
Televisionis a powerful tool of communication.在这个句子中,作者通过对电视功能的介绍,使用名词作为表语成功地造出了这个首句。又如:
Computersare now essential in our daily life.上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
作者在这个句子中利用了形容词作表语解释了电脑在现在生活中的影响。
Somepeople think that environmental problems are too big for individuals to dealwith.Others, however, think thateach individual should take some actions.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.从这个考题题干中我们可以“提取”的名词为:environmentalproblem;environment;environmental
protection;individualactions等。接下来我们就可以将这些词作为主语来创造一个简单句,用上篇讲到的2种句式和思路,比如说我们选择最后一个词组,然后使用主系表结构,从其影响的角度切入,就有了以下这个“草稿”句:Individual actions seem insignificant.尽管这个句子不是我们最终写到作文里的句子,但是至少第一步我们已经用“原创”的方式将题干很好地进行了“引入”,只是我们需要进一步对这个句子进行修改和扩充。在进行“润色”时,我们一般会从主语前的定语、动词的程度或频率、表语或宾语的修饰词及对比等方面进行扩展,经过第一轮扩展后,上述
上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 的句子就变为了:
Our tiny individual actions often seem insignificant compared to the scale andcomplexity of global environmentalproblems such as pollution, deforestationand depletion of natural resources.这样一来,我们发现原来一个简单句经过加工以后可以写得那么长。但是这样一个“不错”的句子也并非是最后的版本,因为当我们对一个简单句完成了“文字修饰”后,我们可以再对句式进行提升。在这里,我给大家讲一个很实用的扩展方法,叫做“广义化”,也就是说,当你完成的这个简单句的意思代表大多数人的意见的时候,我们可以在这个句子前增加主语从句,从而使其具有“广泛性”。刚才的句子经过了这样的加工后就变成了:
It is true that our tiny individual actions often seem insignificantcompared to the scale and complexity of global environmental problems such aspollution, deforestation and depletion of natural resources.上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
这样一来,大家是不是觉得这个句子写得更好了呢?的确,经过“广义化”以后,原本的简单句就变成了一个名词性从句,从句式上提升了档次。类似的“广义化”引导句型其实并不是只有这一个,里面的词是可以根据实际意思进行灵活改变的,比如我们还可以用It is generally believed that…; Common sense tells us that… 等,同时,也并不是每个简单句都非要扩展,具体还是要看意思的安排而定。下面我们再来看一个题目:
Somepeople believe that improve public health should increase the number of sportsfacilities;others believe that it has little effects and need other measuresto improve it.Discuss both views and give your opinion.从这个考题的题干中我们可以“提取”的名词为publichealth;sports facilities等。接着我们可以用主谓宾的简单句,从“被动”的角度原创一个句子:Sports facilitiesare needed.上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
在此基础上,我们继续对这个句子的成分进行扩充:The construction of new sports facilities are definitelyneeded.经过了这样的扩展,我们不难发现句子已经初现规模了,但是结合了题干的意思后我们需要再进行一系列文字加工,因为从这个句子的意思上来说,似乎缺少了一个“地点状语”,因为并不是所有城市中都一定需要新建体育设施,所以我们就有了下面的改进:The construction of new sports facilities are definitelyneeded in an environment where people's health is ina declining state.这样一个句子大家是不是觉得很“体面”了呢?那么这个句子我们是否也需要“广义化”的扩展呢?回答是否定的,因为在这个句子中,我们已经通过增加地点状语的方式为其设置了一定的条件,再为了句式复杂而刻意增加从句就显得不是很有必要了,同时,从它的中文意思上来说,也不一定能够得到大部分人的“认可”,所以这个句子我们就不用再进一步扩展了。
通过对上述2个真题的详解,想必大家已经对背景导入句如何进行“原创”
上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 有了一定的认识了吧?接着我们来看后续的写法。在第一个背景导入句完成以后,我们需要判断接下来有没有必要再增加一个背景导入句,如果没有必要的话,我们就可以直接写自己的主题句或者给出一个第3方观点后再写主题句。
判断的依据主要是看这个句子是否已经将题干“充分”导入到了文章里。而要进行准确的判断,我们主要的方法还是将写完的这个句子的意思翻译一下,然后再去和题干的意思比较一下就一目了然了。比如上面的2个句子,通过翻译,我们不难看出,第1个句子已经将题干的意思“充分导入”到作文里了,而第2个句子似乎还没有做到这一点,所以接下来第1个题目我们可能只需要直接给出观点即可,而第2个题目我们则需继续对题干进行导入。
之前我们提到了背景导入句如果已经将题干“充分导入”进作文中的话,则无需继续进行背景描述,但若没有做到这一点,我们则需要继续“导入”,这时候我们一般会使用2种方式,第一种是直接给出一个第三方观点,或者也叫做甲方乙方的观点;另外一种方式则是通过“因果关系”继续发展背景导入句,使其充分将题干引入。我们先来将上篇中使用的2个考题的引言段补写完整:
It is truethat our tiny individual actions often seem insignificant
上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ compared to the scaleand complexity of global environmental problems such as pollution,deforestation and depletion of natural resources.But that does not relieveour duty as individuals to do as much as we can to deal with these problems.第一个考题由于背景导入句已经将题干充分导入到作文中,所以我们在它之后直接写了一个主题句来结束引言段的全部内容。而我们再来看看另外一个考题的完整开头:
Theconstruction of new sports facilities are definitely needed in an environmentwhere people's health is in a declining state.However, there are those whobelieve that the way to improving people's health should lie in other measuresthat governments have to come up with to get people to live more healthily.我们可以发现,在第一个背景导入句写完以后,作者又增加了一个“观点导入句”,即某些人的立场。由于他并没有想在开头段就表明自己的立场,因此引言段就“缺省”了主题句,但是看完这个引言段后我们不难发现它的语言组织还
上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 是很流畅的。以下我们再一起来看一个例子:
Newspapershave become an enormous influence on people’s ideas and opinions.Why is thisthe case? Is it a desirable or undesirable situation?
从这个题干中,我们可以提取的名词为newspaper;media等,经过一定的扩展,可以写出下面的背景导入句:
In almostevery modern society, newspapers have been playing an essential role in shaping people’s thoughts on awide range of issues and are always regarded as an indispensable source of information.在这个导入句里,我们分别使用了2个主谓宾的简单句组合成了一个并列句,第一个句子从主语的“影响/作用”入手;而第二个句子则使用“被动语态”作为意思的切入方法。再加上了状语等修饰成分的扩展,从而写出了以上这个背景导入句。从效果来说,这个句子的意思已经将题干的内容充分引入到了文章里,上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/ 因此,我们只需要在这个句子后直接给出自己的观点或主题即可:
In my opinion, this complex phenomenon can be boiled down to several key factors, andboth its positive and negative aspects need to be analyzed thoroughly.接着我们来说观点导入句的写法,一般来说,构成它的主要句式为宾语从句和同位语从句,而它和背景导入句之间的逻辑关系可以是因果关系,也可以是转折关系。换句话说,若这个第三方观点的意思是顺着之前的背景导入句的,则用因果连词;倘若与前面的背景导入句的意思相反或不一致,则需使用转折连词。
此外,在写观点导入句时我们还需注意几点:一是观点导入句表示的是甲方或乙方的观点,因此在主语的选择上不能太绝对,不能出现“all the people;most people”等词;第二是观点导入句一般只需要写一个即可,不要同时将所有观点都导入进你的作文,否则可能会使文章观点不清晰和“臃肿”。第三点是观点导入句的写作目的是为了简化后面的主题句,因此,当你写完一个观点导入句后,主题句通常只需要对其表达赞同或反对即可,而无需重新再把立场讲一遍。最后一点要注意的是观点导入句是可写可不写的。下面我们来看一个例子:
上海新航道学校 http://sh.xhd.cn/
Somepeople argue that the technology such as mobile phone(cell phone)destroyssocial interaction.Do you agree or disagree?Technologicaladvances in the past decades have changed the lifestyles around the world andspawned new products such as mobile phone, the Internet, to name just a few.However,some people argue that social interaction has been influenced and evendestroyed by those latest technologies.Personally, I strongly oppose this statement.在这个引言段中,由于第一个背景导入句从意思上来说是“好的,积极的”,若顺着其意思继续发展下去应该是讲“好的”影响,而作者给出的第三方观点的内容其实是与其相反的,因此,这个观点导入句和前面的背景导入句之间就是一个“转折”关系。
而由于已经有了一个立场,最后作者只需要对其表态即可。这样的一个引言段,从写作流程来讲是非常实用的,因此考生一定要掌握其写作思路。

最后,我们再来说一下主题句的写法,其实这个环节已经比较容易了,我们只要记住常用的几种主题句的句型即可。一般来说,跟在观点导入句后的主题句我们都用简单句来写,只需要表达赞同或者反对的态度;而跟在背景导入句后的主题句,我们则可以使用宾语从句,表语从句等名词性从句来写,如:I agree that…; My view is that…等。
