第一篇:大学英语四级写作注意事项
从2001年起,四六级作文开始追求多变的命题方式,已经考查过议论文、说明加议论、叙议结合文、图表作文和书信作文。写作的应用语体也成为命题专家的一个考核方式,这些变化都对考生备考带来了挑战。
那么,四级作文的考查有没有规律可循呢?面对即将到来的12月份的考试,作文命题方面又会有什么趋势呢?就此,小编进行了总结,希望对广大考生有所指导。
一、写作命题剖析
(一)大纲要求
根据全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会2006年11月公布的《大学英语四级考试大纲(2006年修订版)》(以下均简称《大纲》),写作(writing)部分是测试学生用英语进行书面表达的能力,所占分值比例为15%,考试时间为30分钟。
《大纲》对写作部分的要求有如下说明:
写作部分要求考生用英语进行短文写作,思想表达准确、意义连贯、无重大语法错误。
写作部分考核的技能是:
A思想表达
1.表达中心思想
2.表达重要或特定信息
3.表达观点、态度等
B篇章组织
4.围绕所给的题目叙述、议论或描述,突出重点
5.连贯地组句成段,组段成篇
C语言运用
6.运用恰当的词汇
7.运用正确的语法
8.运用合适的句子结构
9.使用正确的标点符号
10.运用衔接手段表达句间关系(如对比、原因、结果、程度、目的等)
D写作格式
11.运用正确的符合英语表达习惯的写作格式
大学英语四级考试写作部分要求考生达到《教学要求》中的一般要求,即“能完成一般性写作任务,能描述个人经历、观感、情感和发生的事件等,能写常见的应用文,能就一般性的话题或提纲在半小时内写出至少120词的短文,内容基本完整,用词恰当,语意连贯。能掌握基本的写作技能。”
另外,《大纲》在附录中详细说明了“全国大学英语四、六级考试(CET4~CET6)作文题评分原则及标准”:
评分原则:
1.CET是检查考生是否达到大学英语教学大纲规定的四级和六级教学要求,对作文的评判应以此要求为准则。
2.CET作文题采用总体评分(Global Scoring)方法。阅卷人员就总的印象给出奖励分(Reward Scores),而不是按语言点的错误数目扣分。
3.从内容和语言两个方面对作文进行综合评判。内容和语言是一个统一体。作文应表达题目所规定的内容,而内容要通过语言来表达。要考虑作文是否切题,是否充分表达思想,也要考虑是否用英语清楚而合适地表达思想,也就是要考虑语言上的错误是否造成理解上的障碍。
4.避免趋中倾向。该给高分的给高分,包括满分;该给低分的给低分,包括0分。一名阅卷人员在所评阅的全部作文卷中不应只给中间的几种分数。
评分标准:
1.本题满分为15分。
2.阅卷标准共分五等:2分、5分、8分、11分及14分。各有标准样卷 1 ~ 2份。
3.阅卷人员根据阅卷标准,对照样卷评分,若认为所阅文章与某一分数(如8分)相似,即定为该分数(即8分);若认为所阅文章稍优或稍劣于该
该分数则可加1分(即9分)或减1分(即7分)。但不得加或减0.5分。
4.各档评分标准:
2分:条理不清,思路紊乱,语言支离破碎或大部分句子均有错误,且多数为严重错误。
5分:基本切题。表达思想不清楚,连贯性差。有较多的严重语言错误。
8分:基本切题。有些地方表达思想不够清楚,文字勉强连贯;语言错误相当多,其中有一些是严重错误。
11分:切题。表达思想清楚,文字连贯,但有少量语言错误。
14分:切题。表达思想清楚,文字通顺、连贯,基本上无语言错误,仅有个别小错。
(注:白卷,作文与题目毫不相关,或只有几个孤立的词而无法表达思想,则给0分。)
二)评分剖析
鉴于作文的评分带有一定的主观性,与一些非智力性的因素密切相关,所以考生应该对评分的原则和标准有一个详细的了解,做到胸中有数,尽量使自己的作文符合阅卷的要求,只有如此才能获得理想的成绩。
研究《大纲》关于写作部分的要求、评分原则和标准,我们不难发现,写作的得分是一种综合分数。归纳起来看,写作分数主要包括总体印象、语言表达、文章结构和思想内容四个大的方面,而各个方面又有一些具体的细节内容。
总体印象是指阅卷老师第一眼看到你的文章时的整体感觉,主要是对考生卷面非知识性内容的评价,大概包括卷面是否整洁、书写是否工整、字迹是否清楚、字数是否达标等几个方面。一般来说,阅卷老师要在短时间内批阅数量众多的试卷,而且基本上千篇一律,有的甚至错误百出,这种难度是不言而喻、可想而知的。所以,希望各位考生,为了博取阅卷老师的眼球,更为自己的理想分数着想,尽量保持卷面整洁,把字写够、写工整,切忌乱涂乱改。
语言表达可以分为两个层次:第一是基本要求,第二是高分要求。基本要求包括语法、拼写和标点三个方面,要求考生能够做到语法正确、拼写准确、标点规范,这是对于只想顺利通过考试,而并不在意分数高低的考生的要求。但是,对于那些喜欢英语、希望能获得高分的考生而言,就需要达到和符合高分的要求,即:不但要有丰富的词汇量,能够较熟练地运用它们来表达自己的观点和情感,而且要能灵活使用各种句式,基本能够信手拈来,写出符合英文表达习惯的较高质量的文章。只有这样的文章,才能在四级考试中获得高分。此外,在具体的应考写作过程中,要尽量使用自己学过的、有把握的句型和词汇,尽量回避没有把握的句子;在实在没有办法的情况下,要学会“曲线应考”,用常见的词汇来对所表达的内容做出一些解释,切忌临时杜撰一些汉语式的英语表达方式。
对于文章的结构而言,考生要基本能够做到起、承、转、合,根据所给的题目或提纲,写出符合题意、衔接得当、结构合理的文章。具体而言,就是要能够按照英文的表达习惯,在表明观点之后,运用适当的关联词语从正、反两个方面简单地论证或说明自己的观点,最后再重申自己的观点和态度,总结全文。与汉语明显不同,英语是一种形合性的语言,关联词语的运用起着重要的作用,是各段落或观点之间衔接的重要标志,所以要会熟练地使用各种关联词语。但是,切忌关联词语过多,导致逻辑关系不清,这也是很多考生容易犯的错误
之一。
关于思想内容,各位考生必须明白一点:四级考试是一种语言考试,不要求考生有太多的创新,只要符合题意、不跑题,能够自圆其说就可以了。而且,鉴于考试时间和篇幅的限制,考生也不可能有充足的时间来表达自己的丰富情感。对于四级作文的思想内容,你只要能够按照题意的要求,灵活运用各种句式、正确使用重点词汇、清楚无误地表达出你的思想,你就可以获得理想的分数,而不需要处心积虑、挖空心思地去进行观点创新。更何况,以你现在的英语水平,即使汉语的思维达到了创新的高度,恐怕英语的表达能力也难以满足准确表达的要求,这样做只能是出力不讨好。因此,建议各位考生,平时要多注重阅读和背诵一些经典的文章和语句,多看些中英文报纸,了解一些常见问题的观点和表达方式,在扩大知识面和了解日常生活的同时,为四级考试积累丰富的写作观点和准确的表达方式。
(三)命题特点和趋势
分析近几年来的试题可知,写作部分的命题 有如下几个特点和趋势:
1.考试内容多以学生熟悉的日常学习生活和应该关心的社会热点为主。
2.题材多以议论文和说明文为主,偶尔考些简单的应用文,且多以信函为主。
3.命题形式以文字提纲为主,图表提纲为辅。
4.题目主要是陈述性短语、句子或一般疑问句。
二、2010年12月写作命题预测
2010年12月作文的命题,仍会坚持“稳中求变”的命题原则。“稳”是指作文考查的目的不变,仍以测试考生基本的书面表达能力为主;考查的内容不变,仍侧重于思想表达、篇章组织、语言运用、写作格式四个方面。“变”是指作文的考查形式会变,不但其文体会变,而且考查的具体内容必然会变。因此,除了要具有扎实的语法、词汇知识和篇章组织技巧之外,考生还应该多留心观察和思考日常生活中的常见现象,并通过阅读报纸、杂志、书籍等来了解一些常见的社会看法和观点,在整理和提炼思想的同时,积累丰富的常见问题的英语表达习惯和方式,只有这样才能做到有备无患,从容应考。
有鉴于此,建议考生在复习备考时要注意以下几点:
1.熟悉考试常见三种文体(议论文、说明文、应用文)的写作方法,在总结规律和背诵相关模板的同时,要学会灵活运用模板,切忌生搬硬套,更忌无中生有画蛇添足;
2.熟练掌握各种句式间相互转换的技巧,避免句式单一或句式复杂;
3.尽量能抽取时间来阅读一些与大学或日常生活相关的英语新闻、报纸或杂志;
4.要学好使用关联词,但避免大量使用关联词语,坚持“内容决定形式”的写作原则,切忌为了凑字数而胡乱堆砌关联词语;
5.要吃透重点词汇的用法,切忌生造词汇或囫囵吞枣;
6.无需在应用文上投入太多精力,只要将其基本格式吃透就可以,因为其具体内容的写法或结构基本等同于常见的三种文体。
此外,大家在复习时一定要注意多动笔,最好坚持每周写一篇作文进行练习,避免出现“眼高手低”的情况,冰水只对自己的不足进行总结。相信通过平日的练习、积累,考生在考场上一定能写出一篇漂亮的高分作文!

大学英语四级作文范文及写作注意事项
I.参考范文
1.Should Free Music Downloads Be Banned?
With the development of technology, more and more people are making use of the Internet and are enjoying downloading all types of materials.Some are especially fond of downloading free music.They argue that free music downloads not only enrich our life, but also are good for the music industry because they help increase the popularity of music.However, from my point of view, it is not advisable to allow free music downloads.For one thing, they violate 'vaiəleit] the intellectual property rights of musicians.For another, they have a negative impact on the sales of musical products such as CDs, which may do harm to the whole music industry.Without good returns, who would like to invest [in'vest] in the music industry?
In order that the music industry can develop healthily, we had better ban free music downloads.2.On TV Shows
Nowadays, TV shows are very popular.TV programs like Super Girls and Dreams in China have attracted thousands of people to participate, and many more wait to watch them when they are on show.Why are so many people interested in such programs?
Advocates say that these programs provide excellent opportunities for young people to express themselves and to show their specialty.They help improve their self-confidence and can add to their courage to face all kinds of challenges.However, some people criticize these programs, arguing that they are not only a waste of energy, money and time, but also a revelation of social vanity.In my opinion, we need not be too critical about such TV programs.If they can bring happiness to those who participate in them as well as to the audience, they are justifiably entitled to prosper.3.A Letter to the University President
Dear Mr.President,I’m a sophomore majoring in Law.I’m writing to make suggestions on improving the education quality of our university.First, I think there is still much room for improvement concerning our classroom education.Some teachers just recite textbooks and their courses are boring.It’s not very helpful for us.We need more interaction and communication in the classes, and we welcome more lively and practical courses.Second, we students need help to develop our initiative in our study.I hope our university can invite some famous people to deliver lectures to us on how to study.Finally, in order to get all students involved in our studies, I suggest some contests be held in the university.For example, the Department of Law can have legal knowledge contests.Thank you for reading my letter.I hope my suggestions will be seriously looked to.Yours sincerely,Li Ming
4.Annual Expenses for Studying English
The charts show that college students have changed much in their ways of studying English, and their total expenses for it have also increased greatly.In 2000, they bought either reference books or tapes.But in 2008, they can choose among reference books, tapes, CDs, or DVDs.MP3s, and the Internet.Consequently, their annual expenses for studying English have risen from 150 yuan to 230 yuan per person, a 50% increase.Many factors contribute to such changes.Firstly, as an international language, English is not only useful when we travel abroad or communicate with foreigners, but also has become a must if we apply for a job in some large companies.Secondly, the income of most families has increased considerably, so college students can spend more on their English study.Last but not least, with the advancement of new technology, more efficient English study facilities become available for students.II.主题句的写法
1.主题句必须表达一个观点
原句:I use my English dictionary everyday.修改句:A good English dictionary is indispensable for learning a foreign language.2.主题句的观点要完整
原句:The reasons why some people dislike traveling.修改句:Those who dislike traveling have their reasons.3.主题句的观点要具体
原句:Daydreaming is good.修改句:Now people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming, and think ir may be a very healthy thing to do.4.主题句的观点要范围适度
原句:Internet has changed the world.修改句:Internet revolutionizes our study on campus.III.拓展句的写法(以下例子均为反面例子,个别表达方法可以借鉴)
1.扩展的内容必须与主题句相一致,关系不大的句子应坚决予以舍弃。
Example: Telephones have been useful in many ways.First, by dialing the number, people can obtain and send information immediately.In modern times when time is money, people need timely information for their private or business matters, and the telephone is the best device for this purpose.In an office, the telephone seems to be the most common and most important device.Constant interruption by telephone may distract your attention from your work.Besides, superior to letters, on the phone you can hear the voice at the other end;you can convey your ideas and feelings to each
other.2.扩展句必须是主题句的深化和发展,而不是简单的重复。
Example: There is no denying that a good education is very important to a child’s life.If a child does not have a good education, his life will be affected.Education is an important way to enable them to have a good life.Obviously if a child is not well educated, it will bring some bad effects to his life.If there’s no education, there’s no good life.So being educated will be important to a child’s life.Example: Sports benefit us in many aspects.When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our body.There is no doubt that properly balanced physical activities keep us physically fit.Furthermore, sports can enrich our life and maintain our psychological health.Through participation, everyone can learn that on the playing field he not only competes for himself but also for his team.Sports teach us about consideration, cooperation and optimism, and how to cope with difficulties.IV.句式变化(反面例子)
Example: Last week I went to the theatre.I had a very good seat.The play was very interesting.I did not enjoy it.A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me.They were talking loudly.I got very angry.I could not hear the actors.I turned round.I looked at the man and the woman angrily.They did not pay any attention.In the end, I could not bear it.I turned round again.“I can’t hear a word!” I said angrily.“It’s none of your business,” the young man said rudely.“This is a private conversation!”

Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling
Nowadays, students attach less 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 the students pay less 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 for me, I think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help student pay more attention to spelling.Then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance.Finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word spelling.Only by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.大学生应该学选择什么书读?
Reading regularly has long become a common part of people’s life.And reading preference has always aroused the greatest concern.What impresses us most is according to the table, the percentage of book circulation in an American university library, which shows that the circulation of popular fictions, general nonfictions, science/technology/education books and art/ literature/poetry books accounts for 65.9%,18.2%,10.8%and 5.1% respectively.The reasons for the phenomenon are varied.Among the various reasons, the appealing content of the popular fictions plays an important part.That is to say, thanks to its appealing plot, popular fictions attract more people than other
types of books do.What is more, science and art books which require readers’ knowledge on
relevant fields are highly demanding.For example, it’s hard for students majoring in chemistry to
understand Browning’s poems, and vice versa.When talking about my reading preference, I think I prefer to science books.On the one hand,in order to deepen what I’m specializing in, I need read more books relevant to my major.On the
other hand, these books can also broaden our horizons.In brief, college students should choose
books according to their interests and needs.2.对比选择型作文模板

Is a test of spoken necessary?
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English
Test(CET).Different people have different views on it.Some prefer to have such a test.Others
tend to decline any kind of test of spoken English.As to me, I agree with the first statement.Of course, a test of spoken English is very difficult to handle and the test time is not long
enough to fully display participants’ ability to spoken in English.For example, if a candidate
draws a topic which he or she is not familiar with, it’s hard to show his or her command of spoken
English.But without such a test, some people may not have motivation to practise spoken English.The following reasons can account for my preference.The main reason is that such a test enhances college students’ awareness of the importance
of spoken English.A good example to illustrate is that several years ago, college students only
stressed reading and writing skills, ignoring to building up listening and speaking ability.For
another, a certificate of such a test will make job-hunting easier.From the foregoing, I think a test
of spoken English is of necessity.3.问题解决型作文模板

Reduce Waste on Campus
With the improvement of living standard, waste on campus is increasingly serious.It is
necessary that something should be done to reduce waste on campus.On the one hand, our waste
has already caused a great loss of precious resources, such as water and electricity.On the other
hand, our waste adds our parents as well as our society a burden.Therefore, how to eliminate waste on campus is worth paying attention.Firstly, we should
turn off the light when we leave our dorms or classrooms so as to save electricity as much as
possible.Secondly, we should stop wasting water when we bath, or wash clothes and dishes.For
example, we should use a basin when we clean faces.Thirdly, we should be economical.In other
words, when go shopping, we should buy only what we really need.In fact, the ways to reduce waste on campus are countless.It’s time that we cultivate the

It Pays to Be Honest
It is true that most of us value honesty highly.However, nowadays we often confront
confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake commodities, etc.I think that we should be
honest.The reasons can be listed as follows.Firstly, only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends
over a long period of time.Secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people,can make our life easier and more harmonious.For example, consumers will not be afraid of being
overcharged if dealers are honest, and on the contrary dealers can win more customers.Thirdly,honesty can make our society more stable.A case in point is that Singapore which is a society of
trustworthiness and integrity has a comparatively low criminal rate.It goes without saying that being honesty is of benefit to both the collective and the
individual.There is no doubt that we should foster the spirit of honesty.In conclusion, laying
stress on honesty will become the public morals in our society.应用文作文模板

conditions are getting more and more serious because of the destruction of our environment).It is common that(many trees and animals are near extinction, and the all-important food chain has been destroyed.).Why does such circumstance occur in spite of social protects? For one thing,(the population of the world is increasing so rapidly that the world has been so crowded.).For another,(the overuse of natural resources has influenced the balance of natural ecology).What is more, since(the industrial revolution),it is natural that(a great number of factories have been springing up like mushrooms.The smoke and harmful chemicals released from factories also pollute the environment).To solve the problem is not easy at all, but is worthing.We should do something such as(planting more trees, equipping cars with pollution-control devices and
learning to recycling natural resources)to improve the present situation, and I do believe everything will be better in the future.六、图表式作文写作模板 It is obvious in the graphic/table that the rate/number/amount of Y has undergone dramatic changes.It has gone up/grown/fallen/dropped considerably in recent years(as X varies).At the point of X1, Y reaches its peak value of……(多少).What is the reason for this change?

议论文
议论文是作者对某个问题或某件事进行分析、评论,表明自己的观点、立场、态度、看法、主张的一种文体。写议论文要把握三性和三要素。三性指准确性、鲜明性和生动性。三要素指论点、论据和论证。
论点的基本要求:观点正确,概括全面,见解新颖,有实际意义,要恰当地综合运用各种表达方式。
论据的基本要求,真实可靠、充分典型。
论证的基本要求:推理必须合乎逻辑,论证要讲究顺序,论证要符合正确的推理形式。简而言之,英语议论文共有三大特点:
1、观点鲜明的开头;
2、紧扣主题的结尾;
3、有主题句并且衔接自然的中间段落。
这三点当中,第1、2点早已为绝大多数中国学生所熟知,因为开头点题和结尾扣题同样也是汉语文章的要求。
另外,英语文章和汉语不同的是段落的主题句一定要放在段首,而不能按照中文的写作习惯放在段落的中间或者最后,在英文应试写作中更加如此。正因为没有“主题句”的思想,所以中国学生在写英语文章时经常“想到什么,就写什么”,这在英语议论文中是不能接受的。

Career or Family: which is more important?
When asked about their opinion of career and family, people always respond differently.Some people deem it more important to pursue their career, while there are always other people who argue that family should be the number one in one’s life.It goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life.In the very first place, career can give us an aim to live on.Without career, much of our living time will be certainly wasted.What’s more, career can provide us with a means to live on.Most of the people earn their income from a job.On the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life, as many people will admit.Family is always regarded as a place where we can escape from troubles in life.In addition, we can obtain a sense of belonging to from family.Without it, anyone will feel lonely and desperate.In my opinion, career and family are not in opposition to each other.Rather, they can enhance each other so that one’s life can become better and better.Therefore, it’s not a choice between right and wrong, but one between ideal and practical.作文中可用的谚语或句子:

15、As a proverb says, “Everything has two sides”.On the one hand, physical exercise is good for your health.On the other hand, if you don’t deal with it properly, it will do harm to your health.So we should look at the matter from two sides.一.The main types of guided writing:
1.提纲式作文:
Directions:
Women make a great contribution to the progress of modern society.But there are still some people who don’t agree with it.There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper.Write an essay to the newspaper based on the following outline.1.Role of women in modern society
2.Prejudices and discrimination against women
3.My comment
You should write about 200 words within 40 minutes.Women play an important part in modern society.Now many women are going into professions, such as medicine, law and engineering.They comprise a large part of the workers in offices and factories.Many jobs they are engaged in are in line with their special capabilities of their sex.In addition, some of are working up to important positions which used to be held mainly by men.There are even some businesses which are run completely by women.It is obvious that women are making an outstanding contribution to the progress of modern society.There are, however, still some people who assert that men are superior to women in many ways.In the first place, many jobs men do can hardly be done by women, who are physically not strong enough.They believe that women are the weaker one, both physically and emotionally.According to them, a woman’s place is within the protective environment of the home.Secondly, most of the world-famous scientists and statesmen are found to be males.Finally, the whole society seems to have always been dominated by men only.In their opinion, men should enjoy more rights than do women.Personally, I’m firmly standing on the side of those women right defenders.Since both men and women are equally important in human activities, they should be on an equal footing.二、The structure of a paragraph and its development:
1.Structure of a paragraph: topic sentence, development sentence and concluding sentence.2.Ways of developing a paragraph:
1)Comparison and contrast(对比法)
2)Cause and effect(因果法)
3)Exemplification(举例法)
4)Generalization and qualification(概述法)
5)Argument(议论法)
三、Some sentence patterns commonly-used in controlled writing :---关于利弊、优缺点的句型:
have the advantage of „..(有„.方面的长处)
benefit sb/sth.(对„有好处)
benefit from sth.(由于„.而受益)
do(a lot of)good to sb.(对„.有许多好处)
be good for sb./sth.(对„.有益)
do damage to sth./damage sth.(对„.造成损害)
be as(not so)good/great as „„
not so much „ as „(与其说„,不如说„)
---说明原因的句型:
1.There are some manygood reasons for„ to do sth
Example: There are two reasons for the changes in people’s living conditions.First, we have been carrying out an opening and reform policy.Second, our national economy is developing rapidly and the birth rate has been put under control.2.We have two good reasons for „
3.The reasons for „ is that + 从句
--表示不同看法的句型:
1.Different peoplehave hold different opinionviewon
this questionproblem
Some believe that „Others argue that „Still others maintain that „译:人们对国际文化交流的看法各不相同。有些人认为,国际文化交流能促进各国人民之间的友谊和了解。另一些人则争辩说,中国是一个具有5000年历史的文明古国,并且有自己的传统文化,它和西方文化截然不同。因此,他们反对国际文化交流。我认为,第2种看法是片面的。现在国际文化交流是非常重要的。各国人民应该互相了解、互相学习以便增进友谊。
People differ in their opinions on the international cultural exchange.Some believe that international cultural exchange contributes to the friendship and understanding of the people all over the world.Others argue that China is an ancient civilized nation with a history of 5000 years and has its own
traditional culture, which is quite different from that in the western countries.Therefore, they are opposed to the international cultural exchange.In my opinion, the second view is one-sided and partial.The international cultural exchange is of great importance now.People of all countries should understand each other and learn from each other to enhance the friendship among them.1.They are quite different from each other in their opinions.2.Some people hold the opinion that it is good to have a small family.Example: Parents and children think differently on this question.Parents hold that children should work hard and do well at school.Children, however, maintain that they should have freedom to spend their leisure time and to plan for their own future.---表示必须、紧急、有困难做某事的句型:
1.It is important(necessary, urgent, difficult, easy, convenient, comfortable, expensive, desirable, advisable)for sb.To do sth.2.have trouble difficulty(in)doing sth.(有困难做某事)
have trouble with sth.(对„有困难,不好对付)
---关于因果关系的句型:
