How to Deal with Cheating?
Many students tend to cheat in the exams.Some will copy the answers from their books.Some will talk with each other to share the right answers.Besides, some even write down the information on their skin.There are several causes leading to cheating.Some students want to get high scores without efforts.Secondly, some are under great pressure and they fear to fail the exams.Once the students are found cheating, the teachers should punish them severely and explain the harm of cheating to them.There are at least two ways to eliminate cheating.On the one hand, we should explain the harm of cheating to our students.On the other hand, strict measures should be taken against cheating.As a result, the fair play in the exams can be achieved and students can pay attention to study instead of cheating.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Heated Match, Fair Play.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

Heated Match, Fair Play
Dear fellow students，Good evening.Here comes the coverage of the final basketball match of our school league.The match was held in the school stadium in the morning.One team was from the English Department, and the other from the Maths Department.The game began at 8:30.All the players brought their potential into full play.Both teams took the lead by turns.The biggest margin was less than ten points.It was really the closest game I have ever watched.When there was 5 seconds left, the team from the English Department lagged narrowly behind by two points.At the last second, Li Qiang scored a three pointer and put the English team in lead by one point.The audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers.At last, the English team screwed a 7574 win over the Maths team.All of the players on both teams played marvelously, with the leading scorer Li Qiang.He scored 26 points, 10 of them in the decisive final quarter.Besides, he also snatched 9 rebounds.No wonder he was elected the MVP of the game.That’s the exciting report on the game.Thank you.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Letter to the University President about the Goods Promotion on Campus.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese:

A Letter to the University President
about the Goods Promotion on Campus April 21, 2006
Dear Mr.President，Nowadays the goods promotion on campus is on the rise.When you are taking a nap on the dormitory, you will be disturbed by knocks on the door by a salesman.Most of those goods promoted are of poor quality.Worse still, this poses a potential danger on the security of the dormitory.Why is the goods promotion so pervasive on campus? Firstly, many salesmen believe that college students are naive and can be easily deceived.Secondly, a number of students, especially the freshmen, are in great need of various necessities at the beginning of each semester.Thirdly, some students want to take part-time jobs and earn some money.As for this kind of phenomenon, I’d like to put forward some suggestions.On the one hand, those professional salesmen should not be allowed to enter the dormitory to promote their goods.On the other hand, no promotion activity should be allowed during noon break.I hope in this way our campus life will be left undisturbed.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Letter of Application for a School Loan.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

College Graduates Work as Village Officials
【范文】
College Graduates Work as Village Officials
Nowadays many college graduates choose to work as village officials in the remote areas.To this, people’s attitudes differ sharply.Some hold the positive view while others are against it.As far as I am concerned, I believe that it is a wise choice.Above all, college graduates can contribute a lot to the development of the countryside.First, they can apply their professional knowledge there.Secondly, they can introduce new concepts to the countryside and speed the development of rural culture.As a result, the gap between the city and the countryside can well be bridged.In addition, these graduates can benefit a lot from working as village officials.While too many college graduates are fighting for the handful of positions in big cities, these graduates can find themselves a wider stage of development and realize their value.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: How to Keep Psychologically Healthy.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

How to Keep Psychologically Healthy?
One in four people will experience some kind of mental health problem in the course of a year.When you fail to manage to control these problems, they are likely to cause various mental illnesses and, as a result of physiological imbalance, physical illnesses.You may not be able to live a normal life, let alone a fulfilling one.The causes of mental health problems often vary a lot from one case to another.In today’ society, a good number of people are suffering from heavy pressure.Others are lacking in communication skills and feel they are living in an isolated world.In addition, a lot of people are ignorant of psychological knowledge about how to keep mentally fit.There are a lot of ways to curb mental health problems and keep psychologically healthy.Firstly, find the real cause of your mental health problem and see whether you can do something to make a change.Secondly, learn to relax yourself and take exercise to release the pressure.After all, your health is what counts most.Lastly, you may find it helpful to talk to your partner, a relative or a friend about your problems, or seek support and advice from a psychological consultant.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic On a Harmonious Dormitory Life.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

On a Harmonious Dormitory Life
Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life.But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory will be disturbed in one way or another.For example, some members listen to music late into the night and make those light sleepers restless.Worse still, the smell of some students socks is powerful enough to drive other members out of the room.As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members.On one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study.On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.In contrast, an unharmonious life will be depressing and counterproductive.There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life.Firstly, you have to evaluate your life style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any.Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and coexist.Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends.In conclusion, we should try our best to build a harmonious dormitory life for the purpose of good study and good life.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic How to Deal with Sub health.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

How to Deal with Sub health
With the modernization of the world, people’ standard of living has improved a lot.Then there appears a state of sub health among people which poses a new threat to them.There are some typical symptoms for people who are in a state of sub health.First of all, those who suffer from it often have a headache or backache.Secondly, they feel like having a rest frequently.What upsets us most is that, the situation is spreading countrywide.As a result, more and more workers in big cities are harassed by it, with a percentage of 75 in Beijing, 72 in Shanghai and 70 in Guangzhou respectively.Then how can we solve this problem effectively? Experts suggest that the best way to keep us healthy is to do exercises.It is also very important that people should form a good living habit, for example, getting up early and going to sleep early.Only doing so can we keep us healthy.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Study under a Work study Program.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

Study under a Work study Program
Nowadays more and more college students are taking part time jobs as they have more time at their disposal.Some are eager to gain experience and improve their practical skills.Others want to earn some money and relieve the financial burden on their families.But every coin has two sides.On the one hand, part time jobs do much good for us.We can develop our skills and improve our material life as well.On the other hand, we may not be able to put our heart into study in the “gold rush”.Worse still, those who fail to resist the temptation from society will take a wrong road, and even end up in prison.In conclusion, the outcome of study under a work study program depends on how we handle it.We should allot plenty of time to our study, keeping in mind that study should have priority over anything else for us college students, and money is not our purpose but a means to provide us with comfort.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Job searching Experience.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese:

A Job searching Experience
Last Friday my English teacher told me that one of her friends was looking for an English governess.I asked for her friend name and phone number and determined to seize the chance.I was a little bit nervous when I went to the woman house.I was told that the talk between us that day would decide whether I could take the job.However, when the woman, Lucy as she was called, welcomed me into her house, I felt much relaxed.I thought as long as I was sincere and friendly I would perform well.The conversation went on smoothly.She seemed much more interested in my habits and hobbies than how good I was at English.Then it seemed that I did the most talking that day.I told her about my family and school life.Obviously I succeeded and from then on I went to teach her English every weekend.Lucy told me later that it was my sincerity that makes her willingly accept me.It is true that there are many tips while seeking for a job, but remember to be sincere.It’s the secret of my success.7

大学英语四级作文练习-记叙文
距离2012年6月份的英语四级考试越来越近，考生应在有限的时间内做好大学英语四级作文练习，在此为大家整理记叙文的思路及大学英语四级作文范文。
大学英语四级作文练习之记叙文的思路与练习
记叙文是以叙述人物的经历和事物的发展变化过程为主要表现形式的一种文体。记叙文既可以以写人为主，又可以以写事为主。写记叙文要注意记叙文的“六大要素”即：
时间(When)—— 何时发生，有没有具体时间?
地点(Where)—— 何地发生，有没有地点变化?
人物(Who)—— 何人参与，谁是主角?
事件(What)—— 发生了什么，有何特点?
原因(Why)—— 事件的起因?
结果(How)—— 事件的经过及结局?
一般说来，在一篇记叙文中这六大要素是缺一不可的。记叙文的思路就围绕这六大要素充分展开。
【例】四级考试中，只出现过一次专门的记叙文体裁的写作，即“An Early Morning Walk”(1988.6.)，2003年6月出现过包含记叙文的作文，即“An Eye-Witness Account of a Traffic Accident”。
对于“An Early Morning Walk”，知道命题要求后，我们就要开始构思了。
When：题目已规定了是“清晨”，在这个时候，“我”去散步。Where：到哪儿散步?去公园?在校园里?在街上(街上空气不好，还是不去!)。
Who：在公园里看到晨练的人：中老年人、年轻人、小孩子;在校园里看到读书背单词的学生。
What：人们热火朝天地做操，随音乐跳舞，打球，等等。
Why：清晨空气清新，适合锻炼;一日之际在于晨，背背书，读读单词。
当然，由这个题目可以令人想到很多东西，因篇幅所限，我们做了删减。
大学英语四级作文范文
An Early Morning Walk
One morning I got up very early，and everything around was very quiet.The sun had just risen，shining brilliantly and everything seemed to be covered with a layer of golden silk.There were only some birds singing occasionally in the tall trees.I strolled along the street toward the park，breathing the fresh air and feeling extremely happy.When I arrived at the park，I found，to my surprise，that there were so many people there.Men and women，boys and girls，all were enjoying themselves in their various activities.Some were doing morning exercises，some were playing badminton and some old people were having their tea while talking to each other cheerfully.I wandered around the park.To my delight，I found a few
middle-school students talking to each other in English in one corner of the park.I went up and spoke to them in English.We soon became friends.I was very glad to find another opportunity to practice my spoken English.On the way home，I realized that an early morning walk really was good and healthful.Taking early morning walks makes one healthy and wise.

练习1 • 中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放，这对 海外企业（enterprises）意味着更多的商机。改革开放以来，中国企业与海外企业一直 积极开展经济技术合作，并取得了巨大成 就。海外企业不仅帮助了中国企业的成长，而且也在合作中获得了收益。中国政府将 继续提供有利的政策和条件，推动中国企 业与国外企业进一步开展合作。
• China will develop its economy further and open itself wider to the outside world, which offers more business opportunities to overseas enterprises.Since China’s reform and opening up, Chinese enterprises have been cooperating with overseas enterprises in terms of economy and technology, and have scored great achievement.Overseas enterprises have not only helped Chinese enterprises with their growth, but also benefited from the cooperation.Chinese government will continue to offer favorable policies and conditions to promote the further cooperation between
Chinese and overseas enterprises.练习2
• 狮舞（Lion Dance）是中国最广为流传的民间舞蹈 之一。狮为百兽之首，在中国传统中，狮子被视 为是能带来好运的吉祥物（mascot）。古人将狮 子视作是勇敢和力量的化身，能驱赶邪恶、保护 人类。据记载，狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。在唐代（the Tang Dynasty），狮舞就已经被引入 了皇室。因此，舞狮成为元宵节（the Lantern Festival）和其他节日的习俗，人们以此来祈祷好 运、平安和幸福。
• The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China.The lion is the king of animals.In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck.Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans.The dance has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years.During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty.Therefore, performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness.练习3 • 假日经济的现象表明：中国消费者的消费 观正在发生巨大变化。根据统计数据，中 国消费者的消费需求正在从基本生活必需 品转向对休闲、舒适和个人发展的需求。同时，中国人的消费观在蓬勃发展的假日 经济中正变得成熟。因此产品结构应做相 应调整，来适应社会的发展。另一方面，服务质量要改善，以满足人们提高生活质 量的要求。
• The phenomenon of holiday economy shows that Chinese people’s consumption concept is undertaking great changes.According to statistics, the demands of Chinese consumers are shifting from the basic necessities of life to leisure, comfort and personal development.Therefore, the structure of products should be adjusted accordingly to adapt to social development.On the other hand, services should be improved to satisfy people’s demand for an improved quality of life.练习4 • 端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大 臣（minister）,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤（vilify）而最终投河自 尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子，希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身躯。几 千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子
（glutinous dumplings）和赛龙舟，尤其是 在一些河湖密布的南方省份。
• The Duanwu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified.People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water, hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan’s body.For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes.练习5
• 2013年6月20日在中国各地，剧估计60万儿童和他们 的老师观看了有宇航员（astronaut）王亚平在距离 地球300公里的上空所讲授的科学课。王亚平与两个 同事乘坐天宫一号实验舱(the Tiangon-1 laboratory module)执行为期两周的任务。她在课上进行了一系 列太空的物理演示。在有些演示中还对比了在地球 上重力（one-gravity）环境下同样的实验。这堂物理 课不仅让孩子们享受了一堂知识与乐趣兼具的物理 课，也显示了 我国通信科技的前进。
• On June 20, 2013, an estimated 600 thousand school children and their teachers across China watched a science lesson taught from 300km above the Earth by astronaut Wang Yaping.Wang is aboard the Tiangong-1 laboratory module with two crewmates, for a two-week mission.Her lessons were a series of physics demonstrations in the space.In some demonstrations, she compared with the same experiment under the one-gravity environment on Earth.The lesson has not only offered children a physics lesson with knowledge and interest, but also shows the advance in communication technology of China.练习6通常看一个读些什么书就可知道他的为人，就像看他同什么人交往就可知道他的为人一样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友，我们都应该以最好的为伴。但如果你放下了一本你不喜欢看的书而不断地去找寻另外一本对你有意义的书，因为这样一本书让你得到消遣放松，你确定很享受——因为阅读，你变得更好，更聪慧，更和善或者说更文雅，如果没有阅读的过程你什么也享用不了。他认为这本书和书中的知识只是违背他自身世界的另一个世界，一个他不存在也不想介入的世界，一个可恨的老师们代表着和标榜着的世界。
．A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps;for there is a companionship of books as well as of men;and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.But if you put down a book you don‟t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time—and if you become as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder or more gentle, you won‟t have suffered during the process.He felt that books and the knowledge in them were part of a world that was against him, a world to which he did not belong and which he did not want to enter, the world of which the hateful teachers were representatives and symbols.练习7我们对历史的爱好起源于我们最初仅对一些历史上的宏伟场面和激动人心的事件感到孩童般的兴趣；其后，这种爱好变得成熟起来，我们开始对历史这出“戏剧”的多样性和复杂性，对历史上的辉煌成就和悲壮失败也感兴趣；对历史的爱好，最终以我们对人类生命的一种深沉的神秘感而告结束。对死去的，无论是伟大与平凡，所有在这个地球上走过而已逝的人，都有能取得伟大奇迹或制造可怕事件的潜力。
．It begins as a childlike interest in the grand spectacle and exciting event;it grows as a mature interest in the variety and complexity of the drama, the splendid achievements and terrible failures;it ends as deep sense of the mystery of man„s life of all the dead, great and obscure, who once walked the earth, and of wonderful and awful possibilities of being a human being.中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如，我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代 诗人屈原的日子。那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征 着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。因此，中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国 的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday)，除了常见的家禽和肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗 烹制传统食物，如铰子和年糕。
Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals.For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day.The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon.The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion.The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake.The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday.Besides the popular poultry and meat, people
cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the “ 1 ” new year cake
练习8北京有无数的胡同(hutong)。平民百姓在胡同里的生活给古都北京带来了无穷的魅力。北京的胡同不仅仅 是平民百姓的生活环境，而且还是一门建筑艺术。通常，胡同内有一个大杂院，房间够4到10个家庭的差不多20 口人住。所以，胡同里的生活充满了友善和人情味。如今，随着社会和经济的飞速发展，很多胡同被新的高楼大 厦所取代。但愿胡同可以保留下来
In Beijing, there are numerous hutongs.The life of common people in hutongs brings endless charm to the ancient capital, Beijing.The hutong in Beijing is not only the living environment of common people but also a kind of architecture.Usually, there is a courtyard complex inside hutong, with rooms shared by 4 to 10 families of about 20 people.Therefore, life in hutongs is full of friendliness and genuine humanity.Nowadays, with rapid social and economic development, many hutongs are replaced by new tall buildings.I hope hutongs can be preserved.练习9过去的七年，中国的房地产(real estate)业经历了前所未有的高速增长。对于那些月薪较低却渴望在大城市 拥有一套属于自己的体面、舒适的栖身之所的人来说，高昂的房价是他们无法承受的负担。鉴于这一状况，政府近来采取了一系列的措施来防止房价过快增长，包括提高利率及增加房产税等。目前，这些措施在部分城市已经 取得了初步的成效
In the past seven years, China’s real estate industry has developed in a record high speed.For those who earn less but are eager to own a decent and comfortable place of their own in a big city, the high housing price is a heavy burden that they cannot afford.For this reason, the government has taken a series of measures to prevent the housing price from rising too fast, including raising interest rates and increasing taxes on real estate etc.Presently, these measures have achieved initial effects in some cities.练习10如今，越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下：首先，大学生把在校的大多数 时间都用在了专业学科学习上，只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次，大 学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈，这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此，强烈建议大学生在 课余时间做一些兼职工作，以积累相关的工作经验。
Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job.The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training.Second, competition among graduates has become more and more
fierce.And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job.Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.Assignments: Students are required to finish all the related exercises in the book.
