For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Students’ Rating of Their Teachers。You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.1.学生给老师打分已经普遍 2.人们对其持不同态度 3.我的看法
Students‘ Rating of Their Teachers
Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students.In some universities students‘ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness..This, however, has caused great controversy.Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend the teachers‘ classes every day, they should have their opinion
about their teachers‘ effectiveness.Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it.They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students‘ rating forms.Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject.These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers‘ colleagues.I think students‘ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers‘ performance.Instead of rating the teachers‘ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher‘s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students‘ interest in the subject.点评:越来越多的高校采取让学生给老师打分的形式来了解教学反馈,并以此作为促进教学质量的有效手段。对此做法,管理部门及教学双方褒贬不一,看法迥异。本预测题为校园生活热议话题,值得关注。

Living with Roommates? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.1. 有人认为大学里应独自生活 2. 另一些认为大学里应与别人同住 3. 你的看法
Living alone or Living with Roommates
Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussion among the college students as to whether they should live alone outside the campus or live together with other roommates in the students‘ dormitory.Opinions are divided over the matter.Those who are in favor of Living alone maintain that it is very convenient to live by themselves.They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own.They can have their own timetable without disturbing others.They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet.But others argue that living with roommates has attractions of its own.With several students sharing the same room, each person‘s experiences can be greatly enriched.They can learn a lot from talking to one another.By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.As far as I’m concerned, I prefer to live with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging.Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent a apartment outside the campus.点评:本文与校园生活密切相关,也是近年来出现的现象,人们对此的看法各异,2003年后,四级作文考查加大了学校生活类题目的考查,因为这类题材不存在地域的差异,不同地域的同学都有话可说。本预测题即为校园生活类话题,与刚考完的四级作文话题类似,符合命题者出题思路,值得引起重视。

A Letter to the President of the University Dear Mr.President, I am writing this letter to you to express my concern about the sports facilities on campus.I
have noticed that our university has very limited resources in terms of opportunities to participate in sports, especially given that the number of students on campus is increasing every year.As we both know, sports are very important for the sound growth of young people.If they have access to quality sports facilities, young people are able to choose a healthier lifestyle, to boost self-esteem and confidence, and to build a positive outlook and sense of achievement.My proposal is to build a new sports area.It should be designed with soccer players, basketball players, and ping-pong players in mind.It should have a different section for each activity and be available to students all year round.I believe such facilities will meet our sporting needs.Thank you for your reading this letter.Yours faithfully, Li Ming 点评:本预测题仿真度颇高,为校园生活话题,与在校大学生日常生活密切相关,是最近几年侧重考查的题材。2002年1月考查了就本校食堂状况给校长写一封信.预测十
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Blog.You should write at least 120 words based on the chart and outline given below: 下图是2007年1-10月中国博客服务人均月度有效浏览时间及增长率,描述变化,说明原因。
Blog This histogram shows the number of people using blog services from January to October in 2007.From it we can see that the number of users increased monthly from January to August, except February.After two peak months, July and August, the number dropped slightly in September, while in October it picked up again.Possible reasons for these changes are first, in February Chinese people celebrated the most important festival——Chinese New Year.This means more people spent more time with their families and friends, and therefore they didn‘t have as much time for surfing online.Secondly, college students are the main users of blog services.While in July and August,they had summer holidays, which enabled them to have more spare time reading and writing blogs.Thirdly, with improvements of blog services and the influence of some ―star bloggers‖, most of whom are celebrities, blogs are becoming an important way for people to express themselves and communicate with others.So more and more people are starting to use these services, which help explain the overall increase shown here.点评:这是一篇图表题。可以看出,整体呈增长趋势。但是,二月和九月有所下降。所以,分析的时候要照顾各个方面。www.xiexiebang.com整理 预测十一
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic College Students‘ Job Hunting.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.1.近几年出现了大学生就业难的现象
2.产生这种现象的原因(如大学生追求的目标过高,专业不对口等)3.如何解决这一问题(改变就业观念,大学生再培训等)College Students‘ Job Hunting
In recent years, college students find it increasingly difficult to get a job.It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play.Then what underlies the strange phenomenon? There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high.All they want are ―good‖ jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others.Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider not ―good‖ enough.Another reason is that there is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs.So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.Solution to the problem requires efforts on both the society and the students.The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains.They should be down-to–earth in building up their career.Furthermore, they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent.点评:本预测题为社会热点话题。近年来大学生就业难日益成为各级政府及社会各方面关注的焦点,媒体也广泛报道了大学生就业形势严峻,呼吁全社会共同努力;此外,该预测题也与大学生就业密切相关,也是四级作文选题重点之一。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic How People Spend Their Holidays.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the table and the outline given below:
1、根据上表,简要描述1990年、1995年、2000年某城市人们度假方式的情况及其变化;
2、请说明发生这些变化的原因;
3、得出结论。
How People Spend Their Holidays As is clearly shown in the table that there was a dramatic change in the way people spent their holidays between 1990 and 2000.Especially, in 1990, 63% of people spent their holidays at home, while the figure decreased considerably to 24% in 2000.there are three reasons for this phenomenon.To begin with, with the development of market-oriented economy, people earn by far more money than they used to, making it possible for them to afford traveling expenses.In addition, people realize the importance of getting well-informed about the outside world in this modern era to develop their potential.For example, a traveller may encounter or talk with someone of a different cultural background so as to broaden his vision.Last but not least, by traveling outside, people are close to nature, which is not only beneficial to both their health and peace of mind.In short, more and more people take the occasion of holiday to travel outside and relax themselves.As far as I am concerned, I prefer to go traveling instead of staying at home during holidays.On the one hand, I love meeting different people and take in some fresh ideas.On the other hand, it is agreed that the world is becoming a global village.No one could confine himself
within his small circle of families or relatives.In brief, I have benefited a lot and will benefit more from traveling during the holidays.点评:该篇作文属图表作文,命题思路与四级真题图表作文一致,仿真度高。本预测题关于人们旅游度假方式的变化,也是社会热点话题,2006年1月就考过名校校园该不该成为旅游景点话题;2004年6月也是关于旅游景点的介绍。

1. 上图所示为我国吸毒者年龄分布情况,请描述其变化
2. 请说明发生这些变化的原因
3. 这一变化对社会和个人的影响
As can be seen from the graph, there have been sharp changes in the age distribution of drug addicts.To be concrete, the teenage addicts only made up 10 percent of all the drugsters in 1982 while the ratio rose up to 65 in 2002.The causes for them are not hard to find.First , teenagers‘ fearless curiosity about everything new has led some of them into this marsh.Second, many of the young addicts turned for the first time to drugs for escape either from their failure in the national entrance exams or from their parents‘ breakup.And above all, our education in the harmfulness of drugs has been far from adequate to build teenagers‘ sound resistance to drugs.To sum up, the causes mentioned above must call for more of our concern, and effective measures should be taken to check the trend.Obviously the drastic change will exert great impact on individuals and the whole society.For one thing, drug-taking does great damage to the health of drug users..For another, some drug users commit robbery or even murder their parents and relatives to get money to buy drugs, which poses a great threat to the social security and the social stability.Therefore, it is high time we did something to put an end to this trend.点评:该预测题为社会热点话题,四级考试命题作文常考题材。本文属于图表作文的写作。根据四级图表作文命题规律,第一段文章描述了图表中所反映的我国吸毒者年龄的分布最近二十年的变化情况,;第二段说明了产生这种变化的原因;最后一段陈述了吸毒无论是对个人的身体健康和社会的安全和稳定都构成了巨大的威胁,呼吁全社会共同努力消除这种不良现象。

Aid Education in China Each year, college students, encouraged to aid students in the poverty-stricken areas, volunteer themselves in poor villages for a year and try to improve education in poor areas.Aid-education has been beneficial in two aspects.On the one hand, college volunteers are really devoted to the cause.They have opened the eyes of students in underdeveloped regions to the outside world by bringing them new knowledge and thoughts.As a result, they are extremely well-received by the children there.On the other hand, college students have received a rigorous training by adapting to the harsh living conditions.They are enjoying the appreciation and no-distance friendship from the children.What‘s more, they are greatly inspired by the moving and tireless spirit of the children.In my opinion, China‘s educational development can‘t be isolated from each individual and we college students should take the lead in response to the appeal for offering aid to children in poor areas.预测二十一
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay.You should write
at least 120 words following the outline given below: 1.现在某些高校校园禁止车辆驶入,2.这种规定的考虑,3.谈谈你的看法。
Should cars be allowed into College Campus?
With the rapid development of our national economy, private cars have become in large number;of course, quite a few cars are heavily driven into College Campus.In a significant way, these cars do not take up students‘ places for study, but actually affect their daily life and study--for instance, this crowd of cars may make noise and emit filthy gas to choke us to death.And the campus is jammed with lines of cars and seems to be parking lot instead of an academic institute.So cars have been strictly prohibited into many College Campuses.It seems that this is not convenience to some persons, indeed, but this is for the sake of our safety.Thus when someone enjoys convenience from modern tools, don't forget that it is dangerous to the students in the College Campus.Therefore, I agree that cars are not allowed into College Campus.By and large, with the price of cars falling significantly, cars will enter average families, and most Chinese will enjoy a luxurious lifestyle in their life.However, they are still prohibited to drive their cars into College Campus, which , I think, is a hard truth in the eyes of most people.点评:随着人们物质生活的提高,私家车发展迅猛,越来越多的私家车停放在校园,由此产生了一些问题,如空间被占、噪音污染、环境污染等,为此许多学校禁止车辆驶入校园,本预测题与2006年1月名校校园是否对外开放相仿,值得关注。

The human beings are stepping into the information society.The information industry develops very rapidly, so do the hackers, trick-playing teens, exploring children, fraudsters, and serious white-collar criminals.Thus, information security becomes an impending important issue.In case of information breach, the victims-----government department, an organization or an institution, or a company will inevitably suffer great or small loss.Government may be threatened with national security.Companies may lose opportunities to develop new projects.And the public‘s and users‘ confidence will be damaged.Then how to deal with this issue? Technology is only a partial solution to information security.What‘s more important is that organizations and companies should promote the awareness on information security to its staff.However, since no system can ever be 100 percent secure, a prevention-only approach to information security management is not enough.Companies and organizations should adopt a dual approach to information security management by combing prevention and detection techniques.点评:随着我们步入信息社会和计算机应用的普及,利用计算机犯罪案件不断上升,信息安全事故频繁发生,媒体也不时有大量相关报道,如何保护信息安全成为人们关注的焦点,本预测题为社会热点,值得关注。预测二十三

2.试举例说明
No pains, no gains
Nearly every civilization has its own equivalent to the proverb ― No pains, no gains.‖ It means that nothing can be gained without painstaking efforts and that no knowledge or skill can be acquired without sweat or toil.You don‘t have to look very far too prove the truth of the proverb.Darwin‘s great discovery was not the work of a moment but was preceded by years of patient, arduous observation.Mozart was not an accomplished pianist at the age of eight as the result of watching countless hours of TV.Nor did Edison make himself the greatest inventor in the modern world by spending his spare time on going to parties or bars.His words ―Genius is 99 percent
perspiration and one percent inspiration ,reveals the secret of thousands of successful men and women.All accomplishments and success come from sustained endeavor.Although it is an old saying,― no pains no gains‖ has its profound and realistic significance in our college studies.To acquire knowledge in a particular field and to attain any academic goals, great exertion and persistent effort are undoubtedly required because we all know that ―No pains, no gains.‖

Lectures and Discussions
There is a heated debate over the role of lectures and discussions in the classroom.Some people believe that lectures can help students learn more quickly.In contrast, others hold that discussions can stimulate students to learn by themselves.Those who hold the first opinion suggest that students attend more lectures.In their view, by giving lectures teachers help students master the knowledge they‘ve accumulated over years of study and research.However, others think that in a discussion, the teacher usually guides the students instead of dominating them.They argue that to get involved in a discussion, students have to develop their ability to analyze problems independently.In my opinion, I stand on the side of neither idea.First of all, either method has its disadvantages.Furthermore, each student has his or her preference.Thirdly, lectures ate preferable to discussions in the teaching of science subjects, and on the contrary, discussions are preferable to lectures in studying the humanities.Therefore, we should adopt different teaching methods according to different subjects.点评:2007年12月考查了大学生选修课话题,再次证明四级作文命题自2003年以后侧重于校园生活话题,该预测与校园生活联系紧密,为四级作文命题经常关注的话题。本文属于对比观点加作者态度型的议论文写作。

2.你认为这股热潮形成的原因
3.你对网络教育的评价
My View on Online Education.Being online is no longer something new or fresh in our life.To some extent, it has become part of our daily life.We can do a lot of things online, such as searching for information and communicating with friends far away.But recently another helpful online activity has become very ―in‖.That is online education.Why could online education be so popular within such a short period of time? Among other reasons, the quick development of the Internet should be an essential one, which makes all our dreams of attending class in the distance possible.Another underlying reason is the quick development of both society and technology.Today, modern science and technology is developing with fantastic speed.To catch up with this development we all feel an urgent and strong desire to study.However, due to the great pace of modern society, many people are too busy to study full time at school.Online education just comes to their aid.Personally, I appreciate this new form of education.It‘s indeed a helpful complement to the traditional educational means.It can provide different learners with more flexible and versatile ways of learning.Best of all, with online education, we can stick to our jobs and at the same time study and absorb the latest knowledge.点评:英特网的迅速发展改变了人们的生活和学习、工作方式,现代生活节奏快、工作忙导致人们没时间全日制的学习,网络和远程教育正好满足了人们的学习需要,许多大学生利用因特网学习知识,它成为传统教学的有益补充。本预测题贴近时代,也与大学生校园生活相关,值得重视。

3. 解决的办法
Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China
It is reported that ten big cities in China are being ranked among the top twenty cities with the highest pollution index in the world.This means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.Many factors are contributing to the deteriorating situation: industrial wastes pumped into the air, the lakes and rivers;a increasing number of automobiles crowding into the streets;the widespread use of plastic bags etc.To my view, stiffer laws and regulations must be implemented to check pollution.Industries that release wastes without permission should be heavily fined.Cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air.And the use of plastic bags and disposable meal boxes should be banned.What‘s more, the media should play an important role in implanting a sense of environmental consciousness into people‘s mind.If everybody works toward a common goal of making the environment better, we can create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.点评:该预测题为社会热点话题,也是四级命题作文经常关注的环境问题,值得引起重视。本文属于解释性说明文的写作,主题是“污染”。预测二十八
For this part, you are required to write a composition about 120 words on the topic: Changes in People‘s Daily Expenses.Your composition should be written on the following table and Chinese given below.1.描述图表中人们每天开支变化情况
2.请说明发生这些变化的原因
3.结合图表对未来作出合理的预测
Changes in People‘s Daily Expenses.What is shown in the table above indicates that dramatic changes have taken place in the people‘s daily expenses from 1995 to 1999.The expenses on food have declined by 30% while those on clothing and recreation have increased respectively by 9% and 7%.The statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but closely related to one another.There are two factors accounting for these changes.Development in economy is an essential one in the five years.The increased income resulting from economic growth plays an important part in the less expense on food.Hence, a small percentage of total income is enough to cover food expense.Another one is the changes in life style.When food presents no worry to the average, people begin to focus more of interest on handsome appearance and happy leisure time.As a result of such a shift, spending on clothing and recreation increases year after year.From the analyses made above, we may come to the conclusion that people‘s living standards have been constantly improved between 1995 and 1999.With the further growth in economy
and more changes in life style, the tendency indicated in the table will continue in the better direction.点评:该预测题属于图表作文写作,与社会生活密切相关,与1991年6月份四级考试人们饮食结构的变化图表作文写作类似。根据四级图表作文命题规律,第一段描述人们1995到1999年日常开支所发生的巨大变化;第二段分析产生变化的原因;最后一段依据图表所示变化作出了合乎逻辑的预测。文章紧扣主题,条理清楚,语言连贯,表述准确规范,结论合理。

Choosing an Occupation
One of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do.There are some people, of course, who from the time they are six years old ―know‖ that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as
you try to decide what you would like to do.You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision.At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to give you detailed information about job qualifications.And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.
第二篇:大学英语四级预测作文
Topic 1: On the Popularity of Internet-based Instruction 1.现在许多大学纷纷开设网络课程 2.网络课程学习的利与弊
3.我的观点
With the rapid development of information technology, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction.Most of the universities offer online courses which have gained much popularity among students nowadays.This new way of teaching brings many advantages.Firstly, it gives much convenience and freedom to students.Students can study at any time and any place as they like, even in pajamas.Secondly, it is very economical because students are not required to come to the campus, and schools can cut the expenditure on electricity and water supply, doorkeepers’ payment, park lots maintenance and so on.But online learning has drawbacks as well.One of them is that there is no effective way to ensure that students make the required efforts.As for me, I prefer the traditional way of teaching.The face-to-face communication with teachers can give me more encouragement.As a matter of fact, the direct guidance and class interaction benefit me a lot.Topic 2: On Overseas Study 1.有人认为海外留学好处颇多 2.有人反对这种观点 3.我的看法
Like anything else, overseas study has both advantages and disadvantages.The main benefits of studying overseas are as follows.In the first place, the overseas students can benefit greatly from the higher academic level and the more advanced research facilities in some famous universities.In the second place, it’s the best way to understand a new culture and its people and language.Last but not the least, the experience will be invaluable to character building, making most students more independent, diligent and enterprising.However, the negative effects are also obvious.To begin with, if a person does not make full preparations before going abroad, he will have great difficulty adapting to the new environment.What’s more, the cultural differences will hinder the regular life in many ways.Finally, money is always a big problem.Many students have to find
In conclusion, the advantages of overseas study outweigh its disadvantages.Once they return home, the overseas students will make great contribution to our motherland.Topic 3: Going on Study or Going to Work? 1.有些人决定毕业后读研 2.有些人决定找工作 3.我的看法
Currently, the major dilemma which most students face upon graduation is whether to continue pursuing postgraduate studies or to find a job immediately.Those who decide to go to work immediately cannot wait to put what they have learned into practice.They believe that only by application can they master knowledge in the real sense.Most important of all, they can live on their own and have the feeling of accomplishment for the first time.Other people, however, believe that if a person wants to be an expert in a specialized field, four years in university is far from enough.The best way is to choose a direction and study it in depth.It is not late at all when they go to work, because they start at a much higher level.No matter which choice a student will finally make, he has to be extremely careful to look into his unique situation and consult the predecessors for their advice.He will make the right choice if he knows his goal in life and how to turn it into reality.Topic 4: Stepping Away from Online Games 1.现在有许多大学生沉溺于网络游戏
2.这一现象给大学生带来的影响 3.建议大家远离这种消遣方式
Nowadays, more and more college students are addicted to online games.Those games may be fun and exciting, but are very harmful to those addicts.In my opinion, there are many disadvantages of game addiction.Firstly, online games take up a lot of players’time for study.Many of the addicts found themselves forced to drop out of school for poor
academic performance.Secondly, addicts tend to isolate themselves from the reality.What’s worse, indulging in the virtual world for a long time, they are more liable to suffer mental problem and physical collapse.Finally, players are exposed to too much violent and unhealthy material, which is definitely harmful to their growth.In short, I cannot see any benefits from online games.Studying should be the primary concern of college students.Therefore, I do hope they can step away from online games.Topic 5: How to Eliminate Cheating on Campus? 1.当前校园中存在许多作弊现象 2.如何解决这一问题
Nowadays, instead of listening attentively in class and working hard after class, a number of students adopt all kinds of dishonest methods to get high scores in examinations.It has become such a serious problem that it has aroused the concern from the whole society.To put an end to such a serious problem, in my mind, it calls for the efforts from all sides.First of all, the university authority should make it clear that any cheating behavior in the examinations, from whispering, copying, and receiving answers via mobile phones to asking ringers for help, will be severely punished with no exception.Moreover, teachers of all subjects should go all the way to restore honesty by setting an example for the youth through speaking sincerely and behaving truthfully.Last but not least, young students, the future of our nation, should view integrity as the prerequisite to an upright and responsible citizen so as to learn to despise and fight against dishonest behaviors throughout the life.Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.Topic 6: Should Basic Living Skills Become Compulsory at
School? 1.一些人认为基本生活技能也应该成为中国学生的必修课 2.反对者则认为,学生应在家里逐步学习基本生活技能 3.提出自己的观点
In many developed countries, the teaching of basic living skills
has long been much stressed.Then some people consider this course should also be listed compulsory at school in China.They believe it’s a most useful form of education, which will benefit students for the rest of their life.However, another group of people insist the new course is unnecessary despite its well-meaning intention.In their opinions, the teaching of basic living skills is family’s responsibility, instead of school’s obligation.Moreover, the development of basic living skills is a process, not something that examinations can impart to students.For my part, I agree encouraging students to develop basic living skills is a good thing, but the unsuitable education environment in China has to be noticed.Besides, the heavy study burden on students, if more classes are added, should also be taken into account.Therefore, I don’t think it’s time to make basic living skills compulsory at school for the time being.Topic 7: Private Schools and Training Schools 1.社会上存在着各种私立学校和培训学校 2.私立学校和培训学校的利与弊
3.我的观点
With the development of the society and economy, there arise various private schools and training schools, which mainly deal with foreign languages, computers, music, sports, and so on.However, is it good to have so many private schools and training schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools and training schools concerning their advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand, private schools and training schools can meet the special need of some people, and help them to improve themselves.On the other hand, they often bring the parents and family heavy economic burden because of their high fees, and put mental pressure on students because of the fierce competition.As for me, I will not choose a private school or training school just to go with the stream.First, it is not difficult for us college students to teach ourselves.Second, we should do something to lessen the burden of our family.Make reasonable choices when facing fashion.Topic 8: On College Students Occupying Seats
1.大学校园里占座是很普遍的现象 2.针对这一行为,人们持不同意见 3.我的看法
On campus, it is a common phenomenon for students to occupy seats.In the library, classrooms, and even the canteen, you can find books and pens claiming the temporary usage of the tables and seats.This issue has aroused public concern.Some people hold that it is wrong and impolite behavior which should be fought with.While others argue that students should not take the blame since colleges fail to provide sufficient teaching resources.There is probably some truth in both sides.As to me, I’m in favor of the former argument.For one thing, occupying seats inevitably worsens the problem of resource shortage.The seats will remain empty until the occupiers come.For another, taking up seats does harm to the harmonious campus atmosphere when friendship and modesty give way to improper competition.Therefore, I strongly oppose this kind of act.Topic 9: Should College Students Have a Credit Card? 1.目前,许多在校大学生都拥有一张甚至几张信用卡
2.大学生使用信用卡的范围
3.你认为大学生是否有必要持有信用卡
At present, credit cards, the once exclusive possessions of the rich, have become quite popular on campus.Some college students hold more than one credit card.They use credit cards to buy a variety of goods,such as clothes, stationery, electronic products and other expensive goods.What’s more, they also use credit cards to pay mobile phone bills and other bills.In my opinion, credit cards are not necessities for college students.With credit cards, some students tend to purchase goods on impulse.They can get temporary satisfaction this way;however, hot-headed purchase will leave a heavy financial burden on students.Worse still, if they cannot repay debts on time, their dishonest behavior will be recorded.In a world of credit, such a record is definitely unfavorable to the students.Topic 10: On Accommodation Arrangements
1.有些人认为要为学生提供“单人宿舍” 2.有些人认为“集体宿舍”更好 3.我的观点
There is still no consensus of opinion among people as to the accommodation arrangements—separate room or dormitory.Some people strongly stand by the former idea.For one thing, they believe the separate room enables student to enjoy the freedom of flexibility;for example, they can regulate the time schedule according to the personal requirements and decorate it on their own demand without interference of others.For another, they have the right to conserve their privacy once the economic condition is available.However, those insisting that students should live in dormitory rather than in separate rooms claim that the former is more practical and easy, for it will not only enhance the emotional exchange among students, but also strengthen the construction of class culture.Personally, separate room, though seemingly more convenient, will exert negative influence on students’ mental health and personal value;while dormitory can improve the above-mentioned situation through natural communications among roommates.Topic 11: My View on Smoking Bans in Schools 1.有些大学提出校园禁烟令
2.有人认为„„,而有人认为„„ 3.我的看法
Despite the fact that smoking is harmful to health, there are still many people addicted to such a habit.Considering its great harm to individual and its surroundings, it has been suggested by several schools to issue smoking bans.For instance, the customs like delivering, sending and lighting up cigarette are forbidden and posters on smoking bans are put up.In terms of the usefulness and practicality of such a ban, some people reckon that it will not only help to create the green campus, but also bring benefits to the formation of civilized habit.It has been proved by practice that both smoking and cigarette ends have been greatly decreased since the issue of the smoking ban.However, some people hold that there is no definite punitive measures in the ban, which can only make it a piece of worthless paper with no effect
on eradicating smoking.To wipe out smoking on campus is anything but easy, and smoking ban, though not the most effective way, is intended to control smoking, and hence, I personally believe it will better the current situation.Topic 12: Is EQ More Important than IQ? 1.许多人认为情商(Emotional Quotient)比智商(Intelligence Quotient)更重要
2.我的观点
Nowadays, many people in the society hold the idea that 20% of one’s success lies in his Intelligence Quotient, while 80% in his Emotional Quotient.People now are more and more aware of the importance of EQ.In my opinion, I fully agree with that.First of all, with a high EQ, one will get along well with his peers and companions, so they can conduct business or finish their work in a harmonious atmosphere and improve the working efficiency.Furthermore, only with high EQ can one be self-restrained and bravely overcome the difficulties encountered in work and life.In brief, a high EQ will make a person become more optimistic, confident and passionate in his work.As the saying goes, one’s character determines one’s destiny, which stresses on the importance of EQ.Therefore, while IQ indeed can’t be ignored, EQ is more vital for one to be successful.Topic 13: Does Personality Decide Destiny? 1.有人认为性格决定命运
2.也有人认为命运是自己把握的 3.我的观点
Personality is the distinctive character or quality of a person, and it is also believed by many people to be the decisive factor in one’s destiny.The famous American military school—West Point holds the idea for years that personality decides destiny, and now more and more people share this belief.Personality such as sociability, honesty, aggressiveness and stubbornness distinguishes one man from another, deciding his way of dealing with everything.A conservative man would never take the lead in any pioneering path, so we hardly find him in the list of great revolutionists.On the other hand, some people don’t think the above statement valid because they believe that the key to one’s fate is held by no one but himself.Personality is not innate or unchangeable.Harebrained person could also become a great mathematician because he knows his own weak point and would remind himself to be more careful.Where there is a will, there is a way.We are the only master of our own destiny.Finally, I cannot entirely agree with the idea that personality decides destiny;I believe personality might have some influence on destiny, but it cannot decide it.All in all, we hold our fate in our own hands.Topic 14: The Importance of Financial Management 1.个人理财在现代生活中非常重要
2.很多大学生因没有正确的理财观念而产生了许多问题 3.对于大学生理财的建议
Financial management was once regarded as a profound and complicated study, and it was far away from the life of ordinary people.But now, people of all walks of life talk about savings, stock, fund, house property and so on, since the good private financial management can help us not only to spend our money wisely, but also to make greater fortunes on it.Unfortunately, many undergraduates don’t know how to manage their money, wasting a lot of it.Some of them have no plan for their daily expense, so whenever their wallet is full, they can empty it in the next few hours.Other students, on the contrary, know financial management and investment very well.These students are crazy about stocks and funds, but their actions are more like speculation than investment, so failures and liabilities are their usual result.To these undergraduates, my suggestion is to take some courses on personal financial management and to know what the scientific financial management is.The united efforts from parents, schools and society are also important to cultivate the right financial concept of the younger generation.1.目前网络上有各种各样的免费电子书 2.免费看电子书的利与弊 3.我的看法
One of the prominent developments related to the evolution of information technology is the emergence of free e-books online, which are beginning to crop up across the whole Internet.Those e-books do not only involve various fields but are updated at unprecedented speed.Therefore, it is now even not exaggerating to say free e-book is one of the biggest boons for modern human bestowed by information age.However, whether e-book is a boon or a bane is still a topic in dispute.People showing preference for e-books hold that those intangible resources will provide us with information and knowledge without taking space or costing money;what is more, those e-books can be easily accessed through the Internet, not limited by location;Despite all those merits, there are still people arguing that than p-books;besides, there are infringement problems as for free e-books online.As far as I am concerned, free e-books online are the products of information technology and conform to the fast-paced lifestyle, but as for the books with collection value, it is better for us to choose p-books.Topic 16: Is the Ban on Abusive Language Online Helpful? 1.目前网络粗话非常盛行
2.禁止网络粗话是否有用,人们观点不一 3.我的看法
The Internet has offered us a free stage for communication, on which we can chat, post, comment and write;however, with the ever more chances to speak and access to vent emotional rages online, some vicious habits have also been nourished.People abuse others undisguisedly or even intentionally and the Internet is congested with foul language.Consequently, it is proposed that the ban on abusive language online should be implemented.As for the function of the ban, people’s opinions vary.Some people are of the opinion that it is helpful to prohibit the spread of abusive language so that the civilized Internet can be established and the quality of Internet users could be improved.By contrast, other people hold that the abusive language can only be eradicated by
-discipline and self-consciousness, which indicates that the ban will make no difference.In conclusion, the eradication of abusive language online, in my opinion, is in dependence on both the bans and self-discipline, only in this way can we achieve the desired effect.Topic 17: Is It Feasible to Build a College in Every County? 1.一些人认为在每个县城都开办大学是可行的 2.有些人则认为这一观点不现实 3.我的观点
Nowadays, someone proposes that it is possible to build a college in every county.The current local human and financial resources as well as the effective demand all provide convenience for the practice.However, this proposal has hit a brick wall.Opponents indicate that either the limited financial resources or the uneven regional development makes the proposal of building up a college in every Chinese county only a dream.Besides, those who have taken aim at this proposal contend there is more to setting up a college than simply building a campus.Qualified teachers and a support system are essential, too.It really sounds a fashionable idea to set up colleges in all counties across China, but in my opinion, this is an improper and unrealistic suggestion.Financial support, administrative restrictions and college operation patterns are all the bottlenecks.Thus, it is infeasible to build a college in every county yet.Topic 18: Should Urban Parks Charge an Entrance Fee? 1.有人认为市区公园应该免费开放
2.也有人认为免费开放市区公园会带来很多问题
3.我的观点
The question whether urban parks should charge an entrance fee or not has been a source of controversy for a long time.Supporters claim that urban parks, supposed to be places where people have leisure and entertainment, are public establishments that have been created with taxpayers’ money and thus should be free.On the other hand, opponents maintain that, considering China’s large population and lack of a sense of civic duty, once the parks
are free of charge, they will not be properly managed and will inevitably be damaged.For instance, the problem of parks’ bearing capacity, security and service quality issues will be obvious.So it’s not the time to open urban parks for free.When considering opinions of both sides, I am inclined to the latter view.It’s certain that free entry to urban parks should proceed with economic development, as it needs financial support.Hence, the current economic level in China reflects that free entry to parks can only be realized gradually.Topic 19: Live a Low-carbon Life 1.低碳生活日渐成为热门话题 2.低碳生活的意义 3.如何做到低碳生活
As more and more people are concerned about climate and environment issues, low-carbon life has become an increasingly hot topic.Actually, low-carbon life is not only a fashionable term, but also a strategic choice concerning the future of human beings.Effectively reducing the carbon emission, low-carbon life constitutes energy conservation and environment protection means, which is helpful to slow down the pace of global warming and environmental worsening, bringing benefit to the future generations.Then how to live a low-carbon life? Everyone can interpret it in their own way in every detail of daily life, but public awareness and passion for saving energy is the key to the success of this campaign.Furthermore, energy-saving habits should also be advocated and promoted, for example,substituting a bicycle for a car, using recyclable bags for shopping, climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator and so on.It’s certain that if enough people live a low-carbon life, everyday and everywhere, it could change history.Topic 20: Starting Career in a Big City or a Small Town?
1.很多大学生毕业后留在大城市工作
2.也有人选择到小城镇开始自己的职业生涯 3.结合实际情况谈谈自己的想法
Want to be a small fish in a big pond or the other way round? Every graduate faces this question when starting career.A large
number of them will choose to stay in a big city, which means more opportunities, more space for career development and naturally higher salary.But in recent years, some other graduates intend to start their careers in small towns, where they will bear lower stress and face less fierce competition.In addition, they can be a big fish in a small pond.They can easily get the employer’s attention and may win promotion earlier.As far as I am concerned, I prefer to start career in a metropolis, for I believe that a good start is half the battle.Staying in a big city, I can learn more, experience more and obtain more.1.一些人认为乘客也应该为醉驾司机的行为承担责任
2.但多数人则认为让乘客为醉驾司机的行为负责没有法律依据 3.我的看法
Some people are of the opinion that passengers sharing a car with a drunk driver but not preventing drunk driving should also be punished, for passengers, a part of the transportation activity, are undoubtedly liable for ensuring public safety.If someone knowingly rides in a car with a drunk driver, they are aiding a crime.Hence, it is necessary and rational to impose certain punishment on passengers for drunk driver.However, a majority of others are opposed to a penalty for passengers.For a citizen to be penalized, he or she must have violated the law.As far as passengers go, they share a car with a drunk driver, but are not driving themselves, nor have they encouraged anyone to drive under the influence.Therefore, to punish them is legally groundless.In my point of view, although the proposal reflects the urgency and determination to crack down on drunk driving, penalizing passengers seems to go too far.Topic 22: Should New Graduates Lower Job Expectations? 1.面对严峻的就业形势,很多人认为新毕业的大学生应该降低他们对自己职业的期望值
2.但另一些人持反对意见 3.我的看法
Nowadays, most graduates are faced with a tight job market, so many people think that new graduates should lower their job expectations.After all, it is more practical for them to accept a Furthermore, whatever jobs new graduates get, they can obtain valuable working experience, giving them confidence for more demanding jobs in future.However, some others argue that new graduates lose their grounds if they lower job expectations.They believe that a good beginning is half the battle.In this sense, new graduates should start their investment in education should not be aimed at a low return.Personally, I side with the former opinion.It is an indisputable reality that today’s university students are losing their shine, so degrees and diplomas cannot guarantee a new graduate’s success any longer.Lowering job expectations demonstrates a more positive approach to job hunting taken by new graduates.Topic 23: Should Chinese Take a Backseat to English in
Higher Education? 1.有人认为大学教育中英语比汉语更受重视有现实的原因
2.但多数人认为大学教育中汉语不应该为英语让步,而应该加大汉语教学的比重
3.我的观点
There is a strange “tradition” in China’s higher education, which sees English language courses being compulsory while Chinese is optional.Supporters for this practice hold that Chinese, the students’ mother tongue, should and can be achieved at the early ages.Furthermore, given the strained job market in China, it’s reasonable for university students to turn to English.However, most people advocate giving Chinese a bigger role in higher education.They believe that Chinese, as a knowledge reserve, provides students with more access to Chinese culture and Chinese learning and will breed more knowledgeable and well-educated students.So the mother tongue should be cherished in higher education.As far as I am concerned, I am inclined to be on the side of the latter view.Chinese is the legacy of the whole nation that
represents profound culture and national spirit.Chinese learning, as an indispensable part through one’s whole life, will be of great help in tradition cultivation.Therefore, no matter which stage of education we are in, we should attach great importance to Chinese.Topic 24: Unemployment upon Graduation 1.许多大学生毕业后找不到工作 2.产生这一现象的原因 3.解决这一问题的方法
The recent years have witnessed an unfavorable social phenomenon—more and more college students become unemployed as soon as they graduate.After serious thinking, we can find three possible reasons accounting for this trend.First of all, the expansion of universities provides chances for more students to receive higher education, while the job market cannot develop at the same speed.What’s more, the situation gets even worse with those students who uniformly chose the “hot” majors such as economics and accounting.In the third place, many students think too highly of themselves—they will not choose to work at all if they are not satisfied with the job.They may think the pay is not satisfactory or the job is not decent at all.The solutions to this problem seem more than clear on this occasion.The government should help create more job opportunities;university authorities should be extremely careful in expanding enrollment, taking the job market into consideration.Students also should think twice before making the decision.2012年6月四级英语作文预测

Protect Non-Material Cultural Heritage
As we all know, non-material culture heritage, also called intangible culture, plays an important role in maintaining the continuity of the nation‟s civilization and sustainable development.But due to the development of globalization and other reasons, more and more non-material culture heritage are on the verge of distinction.So its protection has become an urgent and important task at present.What is non-material culture heritage exactly? It refers to various manifestations of traditional culture handed down from generation to generation and closely related to people‟s life, including various practices ,performances, festivals, traditional knowledge and skills, the related instruments, artifacts and culture places.For example, paper-cutting and Dragon Boat Festival have been regarded as non-material culture heritage not only by our country but also by the United Nations.Then how can we protect the intangible culture? First of all, we can introduce special programs and columns on TV or in the newspapers and magazines to arouse people‟s awareness of its preservation.Second, we should have a rational attitude towards the acceptance of foreign culture.Last but not least, we can enforce laws to intensify the protection of non-material culture heritage.预测作文2.On Graffiti 1.校园“涂鸦”现象随处可见 2.人们对此看法不同 3.我的看法
Useful words and expressions: 涂鸦:graffiti 恶意破坏:vandalism 【范文】
On Graffiti Nowadays it is very common to see graffiti on campus, such as the graffiti on desks.Sometimes you can even see graffiti on students‟ uniforms.Some of these graffiti are just cartoons and advertisements which do no harm students.But a lot of them contain unhealthy information which has a bad effect on students.This phenomenon has attracted the public‟s attentions.Some say it is not only a way for students to release pressure, but also an expression of art.But others consider it as a form of vandalism and also a reflection of the problems in the school culture.In my opinion, we can turn graffiti into a meaningful activity if students and the school make joint effort.First,student should have a correct understanding of graffiti and find a proper way to relax themselves.Second, the school ought to give students right guidance and professional advice, such as organizing some contests, which can provide space for them to show their skills and creativity.预测作文3.Suspend Schooling to Work 目前有些大一学生申请休学一年到校外打工 出现这种现象的原因是… 你对此的看法 【范文】
Suspend Schooling to Work Currently, some university students are applying to suspend their schooling to work for one year or so.In some colleges, the number is surprisingly big.Here is an example: according to a news report, up to there percent of an art college‟s students have suspended schooling to work.Students suspend their schooling to work for various reasons.Some students hope to better understand the need of the society through full-time working and then set more clear-cut objectives back in their study.Some intend to gain useful work experience which may land them an ideal job after graduation.Still, there are students who have to work to pay the tuition and accommodations due to financial problem of the family.Personally, I think it is a good try to suspend schooling to work for a year or so.We can easily see its benefits to both the students and the society no matter what reason mentioned above.Therefore, while emphasizing the issue of safety, college and universities should allow or encourage students to spend more time working and experiencing the society.预测作文4.Registering Online with Real Names 目前网络游戏等领域开始实行网络实名制 对于网络实名制,有人赞成,也有人反对 你的看法 【范文】
Registering Online with Real Names Online games in China will have to begin registering with their real names due to the new government regulations.Netizens may no longer post their comments on websites anonymously either.Because authorities will implement the real-name registration in communication sectors of cyberspace, such as bulletin board system, also known as BBS in short.The new regulations have provoked different reactions from the public.Some people say that they will benefit the healthy and orderly development of China‟s Internet, e.g.protecting minors from Internet addiction and helping prevent
irresponsible expression online.Others, however ,oppose the regulations.They are concerned about web users‟ private information and personal safety.Personally, I think we should tread online real-name registration separately.For example, it‟s necessary to use your real name on games shopping websites.but online forums are designed to encourage web user to express their views freely.if required to use real names on bulletin boards, web user may not feel free to express their real thoughts.预测作文5.Create a Conservation-Oriented Campus 1.建设节约型十分重要 2.原因是……

Create a Conservation-Oriented Campus Nowadays, conservation-oriented society has become a household term to all of us.it is our government‟s strategy to maintain the sustainable development of society.Thus, the building of a conservation-oriented campus, which is a part of this plan, has a great significance.The creation of conservation-oriented campus can not only benefit the development of students but also the improvement of schools.On the one hand ,students can form the good habit of thriftiness which can have a good influence on their future life.On the other hand ,schools can use the savings to introduce more advanced facilities or recruit more talents which can help improve the quality of teaching.Then how can we build the conservation-oriented campus? Here are several measures we can take.First, we can organize some programs to let students be aware of the necessity and meaning of this proposal.Second, we can do some small things in our daily life, such as turning off the lights in classroom when it is unnecessary, taking care of the teaching facilities, which all contribute to the construction of conservation of conservation-oriented campus.预测作文6.Killing Time Indoors 1.现在有不少人业余时间喜欢 “宅”在家里 2.人们对这种做法有不同看法 3.我的看法

Killing Time Indoors Nowadays a growing number of people, especially the 20s or 30s, tend to stay indoors for most of their spare time, especially on holidays, some spend the majority of the time online chatting blogging, shopping, dating or playing computer games.some sit with their eyes glued to the television screen, day and night.People‟s opinions vary when it comes to this way of killing time.a great number of people maintain that staying indoors is cheap, comfortable, and most importantly, very safe.Others, however, frown upon staying indoors for too long.they are worried that lack of physical exercise and face-to-face communication with others will do harm to people‟s body and mind.Personally, I don‟t think staying indoors for most of the day should be advocated.Instead, people in all ages, their physical conditions permitting, should be encouraged to more time outdoors.The brilliant sunshine, the pleasant green space, the interactions with other people, etc.are all good for people‟s health, both physically and psychologically.预测作文7.Restrict Mobile Phone in Library 1 现在有不少人在图书馆的阅览区里使用手机 2 这一现象可能带来的影响 3 我的看法 【范文】
Restrict Mobile Phone in Library As the number of students who have mobile phones increases, problems which are caused by its popularity on campus also rise.One of the problems that have aroused people‟s attention is the use of mobile phone in library‟s reading room.And this phenomenon becomes so common that you can see someone using it whenever you go to the library.There is no doubt that this behavior will have no good effect.On the one hand ,students who use it can not concentrate on their own studies when they constantly send or receive messages.On the other hand ,with the ringing of the phones and people‟s talking ,students around them can be distracted from their reading as well.Therefore, the proper way of using mobile phones in the library must be emphasized.First, use phone‟s silent of vibration setting to avoid the disturbance of other students.Second, if you do need to make a call or send messages, you‟d better go out of the room or at least try to reduce the volume of your sound and your phone‟s sound.预测作文8.Whom Do You Turn to When in Trouble? 有人遇到困难时向同学、朋友求助 2 有人则向老师、家长求助 3 以你自己为例 【范文】

Some say they will ask their classmates or friends for help, because they are peers, thus they can understand each other easily.However, others have different choices when in trouble.They are inclined to tell their teachers and parents the difficulties they are faced with.In their opinion, teachers and parents who are much older than them can give them a hand with their rich experience.As for me, close friends are always the people who come to my mind firstly when I‟m intrigued by something that can not be solved by myself.If we can not figure out a solution by our joint effort ,I will go to my teachers or parents for help.With their suggestions or instructions ,I can finally find the best way to cope with my troubles.预测作文9.Should People Keep Bizarre Pets? 1 现在越来越多的人饲养另类宠物 2 人们对这一现象有不同看法 3 你的看法 【范文】
Should People Keep Bizarre Pets? Bizarre trends tend to surface here and there when you least expect them.Who would have thought that people would start a new bizarre trend of keeping unsightly and dangerous animals such as lizards, spiders and snakes as their pets ?Well ,that‟s the newest craze now in China.People have different opinions about this trend.Some think that it is natural –everyone likes a pet, whether it is the “ normal ”kind ,such as a dog ,cat and rabbit or the strange ,bizarre type.Other ,however ,oppose keeping bizarre pets.They are afraid that some pets such as snakes and crocodiles can be dangerous and put the owner or neighbors at risk.In my opinion, generally people do have the right to choose and own pets that touch their hearts.However, there are still animals that are illegal to be kept as private pets, especially those dangerous and endangered species that belong in the
wild.So, before attempting to keep these animals, people should check with the local officials.预测作文10.Should We Help Strangers? 1 有人认为帮助陌生人是一种美德 2 有人却认为帮助陌生人会给自己带来危害 3 我认为、、、、、、【范文】
Should We Help Strangers? Helping strangers has always been considered as a treasured virtue of human kind.We need help from others throughout our life, whenever we travel to other places or stay at home.On the other hand, helping others can make us happy.We feel great joy when we are trusted, needed and able to give a hand.However ,some people are cautious when it comes to helping strangers.They say that helping others involves risks of getting hurt or cheated.Lending a hand to a stranger often puts us in a vulnerable position for it means trusting a hand to a stranger often puts us in a vulnerable position for it means trusting someone we do not even know.Moreover ,there are times when we have physical limitations-e.g.we can‟t swim but a girl is drowning.If we are blind to that limitation ,giving a hand would conversely take our life.In my opinion, we should still offer what we can do to help needed strangers.Meanwhile, we should beware of getting cheated and use common sense to tell whether the strangers are real needed people or just professional cheats.Detecting anything unusual, we should defend ourselves or turn to the police.预测作文

3、你的看法 【范文】
Should Chinese Athletes Serve Overseas Nowadays it is not rare that some Chinese athletes, top athletes especially, settle abroad and acquire foreign nationality.When taking part in international games, they represent and play for the immigrated countries instead of their motherland China.To this phenomenon, people have different opinion.Some people condemn these athletes for being unpatriotic.After all, they say, it costed China lots of time and
energy to train them to the top athletes.Others, however, see it in a different way.They maintain that sports should go beyond national boundaries and as long as we can appreciate athletes‟ excellent performance, nationality really doesn‟t count.In my opinion, it is just natural for Chinese athletes to represent other countries in international games, and, it has nothing to do with being patriotic or not.For one thing, everyone enjoys the right to choose nationality.For another, as today‟s world goes global, international exchange of athletes is evitable in the process.Athletes going global are just following the trends of historical development.预测作文12.Text Message on TV Shows

Text Message on TV Shows At present, text messages are widely used in various TV shows,。From serious news programs to different kinds of entertainment programs, we can always see some interactive sessions which all include the use of text messages, such as text-message voting.Is it good or bad? Some people hold the view that it provides a convenient and relatively cheap way of audience to participate in the program.While others think it is nothing but a method which takes advantage of the public‟s curiosity and their hope of winning awards to lure them into sending lots of messages that costs them a large amount of money.As far as I‟m concerned, text message is a effective medium for the audience to interact with the TV shows, which can arouse people‟s for watching the programs, and bring benefits to the TV station as well.But when we are enjoying the merit of it , we should also take the contents and objectives of the programs using text messages consideration to ensure the quality of the TV shows.预测作文13.Low-carbon Lifestyle

Low-carbon Lifestyle
Every since, the World Climate Conference was held in Copenhagen, the term “low-carbon lifestyle” has become a buzzword in our daily life.Everyone ,old or young ,is taking about it and exerting himself to achieve the low-carbon goal of low-carbon lifestyle.What on earth is low-carbon lifestyle? Low-carbon lifestyle means to lower the emission of carbon, especially carbon dioxide, by reducing the energy we use in our daily life.For common people like us, this is an attitude rather than a capacity.Low-carbon lifestyle calls for the active participation of all the people in the process of saving electricity and gas, as well as recycling the useful materials.As collage students, we should contribute to the revolution of low-carbon lifestyle by all means.Firstly, we should avoid using disposable products to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.Secondly, taking public transport rather than driving is another effective way.Last but not least, both we and the earth will benefit enormously if we eat green food instead of junk food.预测作文14.The Real-name Train Ticket System Launched

The Real-name Train Ticket System Launched In some southern cities, railway station offices and authorized agencies have begun selling name-based railway tickets.Requiring a valid form of identification, the real-name system said to be effective in curbing scalping, especially during the Chinese New Year travel peak.Though the aim of introducing real-name train ticket is fully justified, it has brought about some problems.One problem is the leaking of personal information.Buyers‟ names and ID numbers printed on the tickets may be used to make false certificates or for other purpose once the tickets fall into the wrong hands.Another is that the complicated system and check-in process add to the already heavy workload of the railway workers.In my view, the name-based train ticket system is bold try to ensure passengers‟ security and an effective weapon against notorious scalping, Since it is new-born and needs time to perfect itself, we should treat fairly the current problems it brings.I believe that with people‟s awareness of privacy protection enhanced, and with the development of technology, the problem will soon be things of the past.预测作文15.On Vegetarian 1,近年来越来越多的人成为素食主义者 2.人们对素食的看法不一
3.我的看法 【范文】
On Vegetarian In recent years, more and more people are becoming vegetarian.Some of them choose not to eat meat or fish for health or religious reasons.Some do so because they want to avoid cruelty to animals.People have very different opinions about vegetarians.Some maintain that going vegetarians benefits not only people′s health but also the environment, since human beings are not born to eat meat or fish and vegetarians produce much less carbon.Others, however, argue that a diet consisting completely of vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts fails to provide essential nutrients such as vitamins and fat for people.In this case, it‟s more likely that a vegetarian will suffer form malnutrition.Both sides give their reasonable explanation.Nonetheless, whether to be vegetarian, in my opinion, it still depends.For overweight adults, vegetarianism would be a good choice for both their health and body shape, so then should give it a try.However, for underweight people or children who need different types of food necessary for healthy growing, vegetarianism is not recommended.预测作文16.Should We Resume The Traditional Chinese Characters? 1.有人提出恢复使用繁体字 2.有人对此反对 3.我的看法 【范文】
Should We Resume The Traditional Chinese Characters? With the increasing exchanges between the mainland and Taiwan or Hong Kong, a problem has attracted people′s attention: different Chinese characters used in different parts seem to stand in the way of the exchanges.So some people propose to resume the traditional Chinese characters.Besides, they say, learning traditional characters helps people know better about our traditional culture.Others, however, oppose the proposal.Firstly, they argue that traditional Chinese characters are much more complicated than the simplified ones.If we bring back the traditional ones, it will add to the difficulty of both writing and reading.Secondly, for foreigners, simplified characters are much easier to learn, which may help popularize Chinese culture.Personally speaking, I don′t see anything wise in the restoring of the traditional Chinese characters.It is obvious that bringing them back will cost a lot of time and energy, because nearly all the mainlanders will have to start form the scratch.In
addition, foreign exchange will be affected with foreigners frightened away by the complicated characters.预测作文17.Principals Recommending Students to PKU 1.北大开始实行校长推荐制 2.对此有人赞成,有人反对 3.我的看法 【范文】
Principal Recommending Students to PKU Peking University released a name list of 39 high school principals who have the right to recommend outstanding students to the university.According to the university, the recommended students could be given offers without taking the national college entrance examination.As a reform measure of enrollment, the recommendation policy has attracted widespread attention across the county.Some believe it is a new flexible method to recruit all kinds of talent and will supplement the present college entrance examination.Many people, however, are worried that the policy might impair equality in education.They maintain that while an effective supervisory system over the new practice is absence, there will probably be damage to equality and fairness in education.Personally speaking, I‟m afraid that Peking University‟s recommendation policy might lead to greater education inequality.The policy is supposed to make the recruitment system more flexible, but when only 39 school headmasters have the right to recommend excellent students, is it really a flexible way of recruiting? This policy is nothing but an extra opportunity for these schools.预测作文18.On Professional Ethics of Doctors 1.目前许多医生的职业道德遭到人们的质疑 2.原因是…
3.你认为应该如何解决这一问题 【范文】
On professional Ethics of Doctors Recently professional ethics of many doctors have been questioned.According to a survey on professional ethics violating, doctors were ranked first.Many doctors are
reported to treat patients lightly and take bribes from patients or medicine manufacturers.There are two factors contributing to this phenomenon.One factor is how doctors are paid.Since most doctors are paid according to the quantities rather than qualities of medical services they perform, many of them tend to see more patients at the expense of quality.The other factor is how people see doctors‟ taking bribes.Doctors‟ performances concern patients‟ health and life, and most patients or their families assume that doctors would try their best in the medical treatment if they take bribes, so many doctors take bribes for granted.How should we solve these problems? First, I think it is necessary to carry out reforms in the playing system and encourage doctors to perform high-quality medical services.Second, we should change the attitudes of both patients and doctors and make it very clear that treating and saving people are doctors‟ duty instead of privilege.预测作文19.Should We Trace and Reclaim Cultural Relics Lost Overseas?

Should We Trace and Reclaim Cultural Relics Lost Overseas? The loss of China‟s cultural relics is a serious problem and also a historical issue.Some people now firmly support tracing and reclaiming cultural relics lost overseas.In terms of the significance or value ,they insist ,the lost relics are historically ,scientifically and artistically important.Besides ,it is just natural that historically ,scientifically and artistically important.Besides ,it is just natural that the owner gets back what belong to him.Other ,however ,oppose the recovery.Since many lost cultural relics are put up for auction ,it is the traffickers ,speculators and overseas auction houses that benefit most from the reclaiming.Worse still ,the huge profit from cultural relics would stir up more smuggling and illegal digging for cultural relics.In a way ,tracing and reclaiming the lost cultural relics would set up a vicious circle.Personally speaking, I think we should maintain a sensible attitude when it comes to reclaiming cultural relics lost overseas.If our cultural relics are under high-level preservation and available to the whole mankind to the greatest extent, there is no need to reclaim them.After all, just as the international heritage concept advocates, cultural relics belong to all humanity.预测作文20.Should Enterprises Hold an Annual Meeting?

Should Enterprises Hold an Annual Meeting? Many companies tend to hold an annual meeting at the end of the year in recent years.The organizers believe both the company and the employees will benefit a lot from it.An annual meeting ,if held successfully ,can help create a harmonious working atmosphere in the company.Some people ,however ,are against this practice.They regard it a big waste of money to rent the meeting hall ,to pay for the hostess ,to eat in luxurious restaurants and so on.Besides ,it would contribute to a considerable portion of the financial expenditure of the company.In consequence ,it would inevitably lower the amount of money that goes to the employees.In my view, the advantages of holding the annual meeting outweigh its disadvantages.Firstly, the employees can be refreshed after a whole year‟s hard working.Secondly, the conference gives colleagues valuable chances to get a further understanding of each other.Moreover, a good annual meeting can help create a sense of belonging in the heart of the staff.预测作文21.Should Universities Lower Admission Requirements for Celebrities?

Nowadays, it is not rare to learn that some universities have lowered their admission requirements for celebrity students.Some people object strongly to this admission pattern, holding that it damages the basic rule of fairness in education.In addition, they argue that it would be an insult to college education if a person academically unqualified was admitted.For other ,however ,this practice is reasonable.For one thing ,they say ,since a celebrity has made significant contributions to the society ,it is understandable that a university lowers its admission requirements to reward the individual.For another ,celebrity students can be positive role models for their fellow school mates.many of the celebrities are self-assured ,hardworking ,and persevering and their stories of success can stimulate fellow students to follow their examples.In my view ,it is a wise move for universities to lower their admission requirements for renowned people.On the part of universities ,it will enhance the universities/ reputation.In a word ,bending the rule for the celebrities benefits the
favored individual ,the student body ,and the university ,so we see no reason to deny it.预测作文22.Dose Technology Widen the Gap between the Poor and Rich? 1 有人认为科技扩大了贫富分化 2 有人认为科技缩小了贫富分化 3 你的看法 【范文】
Dose Technology Widen the Gap between the Poor and Rich? People‟s opinions vary greatly when it comes to whether technology widens or narrows the gap between the poor and rich.Some people think that technologies are widening the gap.The reason lies in the face that poor people are less likely to access the advanced technologies, especially considering the high cost.Others, however, argue that technologies are indeed bridging the gap.Firstly, they say, the availability to the range of technology is making people‟s life more efficient, thus ensuring them more time to do some other things, such as a part-time job.Secondly, in the so-called information age when advanced technologies are vital, once people have a sound knowledge of the technology, they can easily find a well-paid job.Personally, I tend to regard technology more as a blessing than a curse.Due to the highly developing technology, most people are given much more chances to be successful.For example, tanks to the popularization of the Internet, everyone can have access to the up-to-date information in both business field and scientific researches, which is vital for their further development.预测作文23.Spam Massage 1.目前垃圾短信泛滥 2.这种现象产生的原因 3.如何解决这个问题 【范文】
Spam Message With the increasing use of cell phones, spam message has become a heated issue.According to a survey, on average, people receive about 40 pieces of spam message per month.Spam message may disturb, confuse, or even threaten people at any time.Generally, there are two reasons for the spam epidemic.On one hand, due to the fact that text message is a comparatively cheap channel, many companies take advantage of it to advertise their products or services.Whether people are willing to receive the message is neglected.On the other hand, operators holding lots of information on cell phone users sell the information and make money out of it.To solve the problem of spam message, relative authorities and professionals should make joint efforts.The government should set up laws to severely punish the illegal advertisers and those who disclose users‟ information.Cell phone researchers and developers should upgrade the products and enable them to delete the spam automatically.Should people act together, they will be free from the spam message.预测作文24.Celebtities as Products’ Spokespersons 1.现在明星为产品代言的现象很普遍 2.明星代言存在的一些问题 3.我的看法 【范文】
Celebrities as Products’ Spokespersons
In the contemporary society, it is very common for celebrities, or the so-called superstars, to be spokespersons for a wide variety of products.On the Internet, television, newspapers, magazines and even on the walls of some buildings, you may find celebrities in the advertising posters.There are some problems existing in celebrities‟ in celebrities‟ endorsing endorsing products.Firstly, some stars may know nothing about the products but still accept the invitation as their spokesmen.To these stars, “look before leap” is just a saying.Secondly, for the sake of money, some stars advertise for items with low quality, even for fake commodities.They never care about consumers' interests.In my view, as spokespersons, celebrities represent the products.They should understand that the products they are endorsing concern their images and consumers' interests.Therefore, before endorsing products, they should learn about the products as much as possible.Only by doing so can they be trusted by their fans and protect the safety and legal rights of general public.预测作文25.TV Talent Show 1.有人赞成电视选秀节目 2.有人则反对 3.我的观点

TV Talent Show An army of people today are fond of the TV talent show.they believe that show.They believe that the TV talent show can change their fate.At least, they say, the program office the opportunity to show and develop one's talents.On the contrary, a number of people hold negative attitude to TV talent shows.They maintain that the TV talent show today is like a river that has risen to its flood level.It misleads the youth and makes them believe that they can make a fortune or become famous overnight.As a result, a great many students can't calm down to study during the show's season.For my party, I believe that the TV talent show is like a double-edged sword and it is import for us to face it properly.For one thing, the TV studios are supposed to offer more stimulating and favorable shows.For another, the media ought to give people proper guidance and refrain from exaggerating the effects of the show.预测作文26.On Lottery 1.现在买票的人数越来越多 2.彩票的利与弊 3.我的看法 【范文】
On Lottery Lured by the big bucks, an increasing number of people in china purchase the lottery nowadays.Take Guangdong Province for example.The lottery sales in the province reach billions of RMB every year.Government-launched lotteries benefit the country.For example, welfare lottery has provided impetus to China's welfare development.Statistics showed that from 1987 to 1997, governments at all levels invested 1.41 billion yuan into urban welfare facilities, while welfare lotteries provided to it 4.1 billion yuan during the same period.However, lottery has its cons as well.The lottery would promote people‟s “get rich quick” fantasies and induce some people to spend so much money on it that they end in bankruptcy.In my view, people should play the lottery now that it is good for the country‟s development.But they should play it with a recreational, relaxed and normal attitude.They should buy it rationally, taking into account their own financial means.预测作文27.Dialects in Movies and TV Series 1.目前许多影视剧中都有地方方言

Different people see it quite differently.Some people say it‟s ridiculous for movie characters to talk in dialects, which may turn out spoiling the aesthetic beauty of the movies as a whole of art, for some words of dialects are usually vulgar and full of curses.Others, however, consider it a good way to encourage cultural diversity for dialects to appear in movies and TV programs, which thereby become more dynamic and entertaining.As for me, dialects should be used with care.I have seen some movies crammed in so many abusive dialects that they simply become annoying arguments between mobs.So dialects could be good, but not always.预测作文28.Should Parents Read Their Children’s Diaries? 1.有人认为家长看孩子的日记无可厚非 2.有人认为家长不应该看孩子的日记 3.我认为…… 【范文】

Should parents read their children‟s diaries? Some say, “Yes, they should”.If the child seemed to be having a problem and write it down in the diary, then if parents read it, it may help parents to know what they can do to give a hand.It could help a problem getting completely out of hand.However, some people insist that parents should not read their children‟s diary.Children should be allowed a certain amount of privacy as adults do.If parents have a question about what‟s going on with their children, it‟s their responsibility to open the channels of communication in different ways than to invade their privacy.I feel that it is unwise to read children‟s diaries, no matter what the circumstances are.Many teens keep diaries for the reason that they have „someone‟ to talk to, confide in and vent their frustrations without causing any problems with friends and family.If parents feel their children are in trouble, don‟t invade their privacy---that will only make things worse.Instead, talk with them.预测作文29.Don’t Rely Too Much on Computers
1.现在许多人越来越依赖电脑 2.过分依赖电脑带来写白字等问题 3.我的看法 【范文】
Don’t Rely Too Much on Computers
Do we relay too much on computers? Yes, we do.Almost everything we do and every aspect of our life is affected by modern technology with computers above all.We use computers in business, public services, education and entertainment.However, overreliance on computer may give rise to some problems.One is that people are more likely to make spelling mistakes when they have to handwrite something.Another is that people are so dependent on computers that they have lost the ability to think for themselves.If “the computer says XYZ”, then XYZ must be true.If you want to make someone believe you like an idiot, just tell him “that‟s what the computer said”.In my opinion, computers make our lives easier but we should never rely on them completely.These machines should be used as a tool to aid work rather than the only tool.Otherwise, chaos can occur when suddenly our computers crash or what is worse, refuse to take our orders.预测作文30.My Opinion on Blog 1.目前越来越多人开起了博客 2.也会带来一些问题 3.我的看法 【范文】
My Opinion on Blog With the improvement of blog services and the influence of some “star bloggers”, most of whom are celebrities, blog is becoming an important way for people to express themselves and communicate with others.Now, more and more people start to use blog services.However, blogs might give rise to some problems as well.Some bloggers would express their thoughts and ideas by writing them down in the blogs rather than communicate with their friends or family members.Day by day, blogs tend to draw people away from real life.What‟s worse, lack of face-to-face communication with others might isolate bloggers from the society, which would do harm to their mental health.In my view, blog is a good platform for people to show their personal experiences and communicate with others.However, bloggers should adjust the time
and avoid spending the whole day on blogging.After all, sitting in front of the cold screen for long does no good to their health, physically and mentally.
第三篇:2013大学英语四级作文预测
一诚信(Honesty)
When it comes to honesty, quite a lot of people believe it is essential to a person’s character and success.They base their idea on the following reasons: on one hand, successful business owes much to mutual trust;on another hand, great people in history such as Abraham Lincoln and Genete Washington set us good examples of being honest, they are great because they are honest.But some people think differently.They believe honesty is becoming out of date.Their reasons run as following: to begin with, cheating on exams is becoming more and more popular;in addition, some singer sand movie stars cheat on taxes;last but not the least, if you are not careful enough, you’ll buy some defective goods and fake products.It is high time we emphasized and encouraged honesty.We can take effective measures to restore it.For example, kids should be taught to tell truth, strict rules and regulations should be carried out to stop cheatings on exams and taxes, etc.二 竞争与合作(competition and cooperation)
When it comes to competition and cooperation, some people always emphasize competition but neglect cooperation.Their reasons run as following: to begin with, they believe only competition can help them defeat their counterparts;in addition, they think competition is the only way to lead to success.But some others hold different opinion.they think cooperation is as important as competition.They base their opinion on the following reasons: on one hand, cooperation can build trust between each other and help to bring long-term relationship;on another hand, cooperation can turn a small and weak business into a big and strong one.From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that both competition and cooperation are essential to success and thus should be emphasized at the same time.三 手机影响学习吗(Do Mobiles Distract Study)
Wherever you are, you can see many people equipped with mobile phones.It seems that the world becomes smaller nowadays.You could be found wherever you are so long as you take the mobile phone with you.And mobile phones are also becoming a new scene on campus.Students think it is extremely convenient for them to communicate with the outside world by using mobile phones, especially when they are hunting for jobs, so they call it an essential investment.Education experts analyze the entry of mobile phones into campus as an indication of social progress.And mobile phones have been considered advanced for its attractive functions.The youth of today send messages, surf on the net, listen to music and even take photos by using their mobile phones.To some extent, it reflects that college students are more and more involved in this modern society, rather than pedants(书呆子)in the “ivory tower”.As a coin has two sides, the mobile phone, while providing convenience, causes trouble too.In classrooms, the untimely(不合时宜的)ringing interrupts lectures and destroys the atmosphere of study, so it prompts many complaints.And the mobile phone users themselves also suffer.Therefore, we need to think more about how to integrate mobile phones properly into our lives.
四怎样面对压力(How to Deal with Stress)
Stress is a state of being upset that happens when we are under pressure.Both our feelings and our bodies get upset.We can even get emotionally and physically sick if we have too much stress for too long.Stress can come at us from every direction.For instance, it can come from fights with other people.It can come when we have too many things to do and too little time to do them.It can also come when we do not have enough money to pay for what we want.Since stress can make us sick, we have to learn how to deal with it.There are good ways and bad ways to do so.We should deal with stress in good ways, of course.Good ways to cut down on stress include changing our lifestyles.For example, we can learn either to get along with people or to stay away from them.We can decide what to do now, what to do later, and what to leave off doing forever.We can also figure out how to get money or we can cut down on what we want.We should not deal with stress in bad ways because bad ways to cut down on stress just lead to more troubles, for example, skipping out and leaving our work undone, blaming our problems on someone else, stealing or cheating.五 节约能源(Save the Energy Resources)
Another round of energy crisis is knocking at the door.In 2004, world oil consumption reached a new record, causing oil price in the international market to skyrocket(v 飞涨,突然升高)amazingly.As for china, it was reported that many traditional mineral cities in northeastern china had run into predicament(困境), with their economy collapsed and workers unemployed, only because coal had been mined out.Fossil energy resources, including coal, oil and gas, are unlike sunlight, water power and wind power which are generated consistently.They’re not practically reproductive during human history.Once consumed, they’re gone forever.If they were to be exhausted before we could find sufficient reproductive resources to replace them with, we’d have to live in entire blackout again like our ancestors have done thousands of years ago.That’s of course not what anyone would want to see.Due to technical limitations, people still have to utilize these resources now.As a result, we must economize them most cleverly.New techniques should be developed and applied to reduce energy cost in industry and daily life.Alternative energy should be employed wherever possible.eradicate any practice that wastes energy.Humans have overcome so many crises in history, and we’re sure to win this time also.

2.保证学生的出勤率对大学教育的重要性 3.作为一个大学生应该怎样做
Attend Your Classes Regularly Nowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from classes.And still there are some students who slip out of the classroom before the class is over.Class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and teachers.In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly.First, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning.That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study.Second, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers ,too.Your teachers will feel bad if the students do not attend their classes, which, in turn, will affect their teaching and be no good for the students.Third, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of punctuality, which is of great importance for the students to do a good job in the future.Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes regularly from now on.And some day we‟ll benefit from it.点评:2008年元月三日,中山大学博士发帖称遭导师虐待;2008年元月四日,中国政法大学爆“杨帆门”事件;近几年,中小学老师或打学生或猥亵学生、体罚学生等各类新闻不断曝光,进而引发了师生关系的大讨论。本预测题为四级考试传统的问题解决型的写作,与校园生活密切相关。

2.人们对其持不同态度 3.我的看法
Students‟ Rating of Their Teachers
Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students.In some universities students‟ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness..This, however, has caused great controversy.Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend the teachers‟ classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers‟ effectiveness.Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it.They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students‟ rating forms.Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject.These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers‟ colleagues.I think students‟ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers‟ performance.Instead of rating the teachers‟ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher‟s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students‟ interest in the subject.点评:越来越多的高校采取让学生给老师打分的形式来了解教学反馈,并以此作为促进教学质量的有效手段。对此做法,管理部门及教学双方褒贬不一,看法迥异。本预测题为校园生活热议话题,值得关注。

2. 另一些认为大学里应与别人同住 3. 你的看法
Living alone or Living with Roommates Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussion among the college students as to whether they should live alone outside the campus or live together with other roommates in the students‟ dormitory.Opinions are divided over the matter.Those who are in favor of Living alone maintain that it is very convenient to live by themselves.They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own.They can have their own timetable without disturbing others.They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can
have easy access to the Internet.But others argue that living with roommates has attractions of its own.With several students sharing the same room, each person‟s experiences can be greatly enriched.They can learn a lot from talking to one another.By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.As far as I‟m concerned, I prefer to live with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging.Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent a apartment outside the campus.点评:本文与校园生活密切相关,也是近年来出现的现象,人们对此的看法各异,2003年后,四级作文考查加大了学校生活类题目的考查,因为这类题材不存在地域的差异,不同地域的同学都有话可说。本预测题即为校园生活类话题,与刚考完的四级作文话题类似,符合命题者出题思路,值得引起重视。

2.产生这种现象的原因(如大学生追求的目标过高,专业不对口等)3.如何解决这一问题(改变就业观念,大学生再培训等)College Students‟ Job Hunting
In recent years, college students find it increasingly difficult to get a job.It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play.Then what underlies the strange phenomenon? There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high.All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others.Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider not “good” enough.Another reason is that there is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs.So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.Solution to the problem requires efforts on both the society and the students.The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains.They should be down-to–earth in building up their career.Furthermore, they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent.点评:本预测题为社会热点话题。近年来大学生就业难日益成为各级政府及社会各方面关注的焦点,媒体也广泛报道了大学生就业形势严峻,呼吁全社会共同努力;此外,该预测题也与大学生就业密切相关,也是四级作文选题重点之一。

gone.点评:这是一篇议论文,关于信用卡的利弊。可以分成三部分: 第一部分,信用卡的好处,比如说应急等;第二部分,信用卡的一些弊端,比如说鼓励一些无用的消费;第三部分:你自己的观点,理性使用。预测十五

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic How People Spend Their Holidays.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the table and the outline given below:
1、根据上表,简要描述1990年、1995年、2000年某城市人们度假方式的情况及其变化;
2、请说明发生这些变化的原因;
3、得出结论。
How People Spend Their Holidays As is clearly shown in the table that there was a dramatic change in the way people spent their holidays between 1990 and 2000.Especially, in 1990, 63% of people spent their holidays at home, while the figure decreased considerably to 24% in 2000.there are three reasons for this phenomenon.To begin with, with the development of market-oriented economy, people earn by far more money than they used to, making it possible for them to afford traveling expenses.In addition, people realize the importance of getting well-informed about the outside world in this modern era to develop their potential.For example, a traveller may encounter or talk with someone of a different cultural background so as to broaden his vision.Last but not least, by traveling outside, people are close to nature, which is not only beneficial to both their health and peace of mind.In short, more and more people take the occasion of holiday to travel outside and relax themselves.As far as I am concerned, I prefer to go traveling instead of staying at home during holidays.On the one hand, I love meeting different people and take in some fresh ideas.On the other hand, it is agreed that the world is becoming a global village.No one could confine himself within his small
circle of families or relatives.In brief, I have benefited a lot and will benefit more from traveling during the holidays.点评:该篇作文属图表作文,命题思路与四级真题图表作文一致,仿真度高。本预测题关于人们旅游度假方式的变化,也是社会热点话题,2006年1月就考过名校校园该不该成为旅游景点话题;2004年6月也是关于旅游景点的介绍。

1. 上图所示为我国吸毒者年龄分布情况,请描述其变化
2. 请说明发生这些变化的原因
3. 这一变化对社会和个人的影响
As can be seen from the graph, there have been sharp changes in the age distribution of drug addicts.To be concrete, the teenage addicts only made up 10 percent of all the drugsters in 1982 while the ratio rose up to 65 in 2002.The causes for them are not hard to find.First , teenagers‟ fearless curiosity about everything new has led some of them into this marsh.Second, many of the young addicts turned for the first time to drugs for escape either from their failure in the national entrance exams or from their parents‟ breakup.And above all, our education in the harmfulness of drugs has been far from adequate to build teenagers‟ sound resistance to drugs.To sum up, the causes mentioned above must call for more of our concern, and effective measures should be taken to check the trend.Obviously the drastic change will exert great impact on individuals and the whole society.For one thing, drug-taking does great damage to the health of drug users..For another, some drug users commit robbery or even murder their parents and relatives to get money to buy drugs, which poses a great threat to the social security and the social stability.Therefore, it is high time we did something to put an end to this trend.点评:该预测题为社会热点话题,四级考试命题作文常考题材。本文属于图表作文的写作。根据四级图表作文命题规律,第一段文章描述了图表中所反映的我国吸毒者年龄的分布最近二十年的变化情况,;第二段说明了产生这种变化的原因;最后一段陈述了吸毒无论是对个人的身体健康和社会的安全和稳定都构成了巨大的威胁,呼吁全社会共同努力消除这种不良现象。

bringing them new knowledge and thoughts.As a result, they are extremely well-received by the children there.On the other hand, college students have received a rigorous training by adapting to the harsh living conditions.They are enjoying the appreciation and no-distance friendship from the children.What‟s more, they are greatly inspired by the moving and tireless spirit of the children.In my opinion, China‟s educational development can‟t be isolated from each individual and we college students should take the lead in response to the appeal for offering aid to children in poor areas.预测二十一

1.现在某些高校校园禁止车辆驶入,2.这种规定的考虑,3.谈谈你的看法。
Should cars be allowed into College Campus?
With the rapid development of our national economy, private cars have become in large number;of course, quite a few cars are heavily driven into College Campus.In a significant way, these cars do not take up students‟ places for study, but actually affect their daily life and study--for instance, this crowd of
cars may make noise and emit filthy gas to choke us to death.And the campus is jammed with lines of cars and seems to be parking lot instead of an academic institute.So cars have been strictly prohibited into many College Campuses.It seems that this is not convenience to some persons, indeed, but this is for the sake of our safety.Thus when someone enjoys convenience from modern tools, don't forget that it is dangerous to the students in the College Campus.Therefore, I agree that cars are not allowed into College Campus.By and large, with the price of cars falling significantly, cars will enter average families, and most Chinese will enjoy a luxurious lifestyle in their life.However, they are still prohibited to drive their cars into College Campus, which , I think, is a hard truth in the eyes of most people.点评:随着人们物质生活的提高,私家车发展迅猛,越来越多的私家车停放在校园,由此产生了一些问题,如空间被占、噪音污染、环境污染等,为此许多学校禁止车辆驶入校园,本预测题与2006年1月名校校园是否对外开放相仿,值得关注。

Information Security
The human beings are stepping into the information society.The information industry develops very rapidly, so do the hackers, trick-playing teens, exploring children, fraudsters, and serious white-collar criminals.Thus, information security becomes an impending important issue.In case of information breach, the victims-----government department, an organization or an institution, or a company will inevitably suffer great or small loss.Government may be threatened with national security.Companies may lose opportunities to develop new projects.And the public‟s and users‟ confidence will be damaged.Then how to deal with this issue? Technology is only a partial solution to information security.What‟s more important is that organizations and companies should promote the awareness on information security to its staff.However, since no system can ever be 100 percent secure, a prevention-only approach to information security management is not enough.Companies and organizations should adopt a dual approach to information security management by combing prevention and detection techniques.点评:随着我们步入信息社会和计算机应用的普及,利用计算机犯罪案件不断上升,信息安全事故频繁发生,媒体也不时有大量相关报道,如何保护信息安全成为人们关注的焦点,本预测题为社会热点,值得关注。预测二十三

2.试举例说明
No pains, no gains
Nearly every civilization has its own equivalent to the proverb “ No pains, no gains.” It means that nothing can be gained without painstaking efforts and that no knowledge or skill can be acquired without sweat or toil.You don‟t have to look very far too prove the truth of the proverb.Darwin‟s great discovery was
not the work of a moment but was preceded by years of patient, arduous observation.Mozart was not an accomplished pianist at the age of eight as the result of watching countless hours of TV.Nor did Edison make himself the greatest inventor in the modern world by spending his spare time on going to parties or bars.His words “Genius is 99 percent perspiration and one percent inspiration ,reveals the secret of thousands of successful men and women.All accomplishments and success come from sustained endeavor.Although it is an old saying,“ no pains no gains” has its profound and realistic significance in our college studies.To acquire knowledge in a particular field and to attain any academic goals, great exertion and persistent effort are undoubtedly required because we all know that “No pains, no gains.”

My View on Online Education.Being online is no longer something new or fresh in our life.To some extent, it has become part of our daily life.We can do a lot of things online, such as searching for information and communicating with friends far away.But recently another helpful online activity has become very “in”.That is online education.Why could online education be so popular within such a short period of time? Among other reasons, the quick development of the Internet should be an essential one, which makes all our dreams of attending class in the distance possible.Another underlying reason is the quick development of both society and technology.Today, modern science and technology is developing with fantastic speed.To catch up with this development we all feel an urgent and strong desire to study.However, due to the great pace of modern society, many people are too busy to study full time at school.Online education just comes to their aid.Personally, I appreciate this new form of education.It‟s indeed a helpful complement to the traditional educational means.It can provide different learners with more flexible and versatile ways of learning.Best of all, with online education, we can stick to our jobs and at the same time study and absorb the latest knowledge.点评:英特网的迅速发展改变了人们的生活和学习、工作方式,现代生活节奏快、工作忙导致人们没时间全日制的学习,网络和远程教育正好满足了人们的学习需要,许多大学生利用因特网学习知识,它成为传统教学的有益补充。本预测题贴近时代,也与大学生校园生活相关,值得重视。

Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China
It is reported that ten big cities in China are being ranked among the top twenty cities with the highest pollution index in the world.This means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.Many factors are contributing to the deteriorating situation: industrial wastes pumped into the air, the lakes and rivers;a increasing number of automobiles crowding into the streets;the widespread use of plastic bags etc.To my view, stiffer laws and regulations must be implemented to check pollution.Industries that release wastes without permission should be heavily fined.Cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air.And the use of plastic bags and disposable meal boxes should be banned.What‟s more, the media should play an important role in implanting a sense of environmental consciousness into people‟s mind.If everybody works toward a common goal of making the environment better, we can create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.点评:该预测题为社会热点话题,也是四级命题作文经常关注的环境问题,值得引起重视。本文属于解释性说明文的写作,主题是“污染”。预测二十九

[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.

Attend Your Classes Regularly
Nowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from classes.And still there are some students who slip out of the classroom before the class is over.Class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and teachers.In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly.First, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning.That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study.Second, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers ,too.Your teachers will feel bad if the students do not attend their classes, which, in turn, will affect their teaching and be no good for the students.Third, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of punctuality, which is of great importance for the students to do a good job in the future.Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes regularly from now on.And some day we‟ll benefit from it.点评:2008年元月三日,中山大学博士发帖称遭导师虐待;2008年元月四日,中国政法大学爆“杨帆门”事件;近几年,中小学老师或打学生或猥亵学生、体罚学生等各类新闻不断曝光,进而引发了师生关系的大讨论。本预测题为四级考试传统的问题解决型的写作,与校园生活密切相关。

Students’ Rating of Their Teachers
Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students.In some universities students‟ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness..This, however, has caused great controversy.Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend the teachers‟ classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers‟ effectiveness.Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it.They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students‟ rating forms.Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject.These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers‟ colleagues.I think students‟ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers‟ performance.Instead of rating the teachers‟ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher‟s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students‟ interest in the subject.点评:越来越多的高校采取让学生给老师打分的形式来了解教学反馈,并以此作为促进教学质量的有效手段。对此做法,管理部门及教学双方褒贬不一,看法迥异。本预测题为校园生活热议话题,值得关注。

On a Harmonious Dormitory Life
Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life.But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory can be disturbed in one way or another.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.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 co-exist.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 sake of good study and good life.点评:“和谐”成为我们当今社会词频概率最高用词,就社会而言,倡导建立和谐社会;就家庭而言,提倡建设和谐家庭;就校园来讲,则要建立和谐校园;和谐两字似乎无所不在,大学生宿舍生活同样需要和谐。本预测题与四级考试热点密切相关,又为典型的校园生活主题,值得关注。

3. 你的看法
Living alone or Living with Roommates
Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussion among the college students as to whether they should live alone outside the campus or live together with other roommates in the students‟ dormitory.Opinions are divided over the matter.Those who are in favor of Living alone maintain that it is very convenient to live by themselves.They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own.They can have their own timetable without disturbing others.They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet.But others argue that living with roommates has attractions of its own.With several students sharing the same room, each person‟s experiences can be greatly enriched.They can learn a lot from talking to one another.By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.As far as I‟m concerned, I prefer to live with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging.Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent a apartment outside the campus.点评:本文与校园生活密切相关,也是近年来出现的现象,人们对此的看法各异,2003年后,四级作文考查加大了学校生活类题目的考查,因为这类题材不存在地域的差异,不同地域的同学都有话可说。本预测题即为校园生活类话题,与刚考完的四级作文话题类似,符合命题者出题思路,值得引起重视。

Advertisements are forcing their way into people‟s lives.People refer to advertisements in their daily lives because they are consumers.The advertisers are usually manufacturers, retailers and salesmen.Their merchandise needs to be advertised to bring it to the attention to the customers.Thus nearly every product is advertised in some way.To a large extent, good advertising leads to success while bad advertising can mean failure.There are many ways to advertise and „ads‟ come in different forms.Newspapers carry advertisements.Some products are publicized on TV and radio which bring them into notice of a wide audience.Billboards also carry advertising.Advertising is a big industry now and many agencies have been set up to furnish a variety of forms..However, advertising is not always truthful.A product is often misrepresented.The advertiser exaggerates the benefits of the merchandise he wants to sell.Thus, he misrepresents the truth.The consumer falls victim to such advertising.Millions of people have bought advertised products and have been dissatisfied with them。

A Letter to the President of the University
Dear Mr.President,I am writing this letter to you to express my concern about the sports facilities on campus.I have noticed that our university has very limited resources in terms of opportunities to participate in sports, especially given that the number of students on campus is increasing every year.As we both know, sports are very important for the sound growth of young people.If they have access to quality sports facilities, young people are able to choose a healthier lifestyle, to boost self-esteem and confidence, and to build a positive outlook and sense of achievement.My proposal is to build a new sports area.It should be designed with soccer players, basketball players, and ping-pong players in mind.It should have a different section for each activity and be available to students all year round.I believe such facilities will meet our sporting needs.Thank you for your reading this letter.Yours faithfully,Li Ming

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Blog.You should write at least 120 words based on the chart and outline given below:
下图是2007年1-10月中国博客服务人均月度有效浏览时间及增长率,描述变化,说明原因。
Blog
This histogram shows the number of people using blog services from January to October in 2007.From it we can see that the number of users increased monthly from January to August, except February.After two peak months, July and August, the number dropped slightly in September, while in October it picked up again.Possible reasons for these changes are first, in February Chinese people celebrated the most important festival——Chinese New Year.This means more people spent more time with their families and friends, and therefore they didn‟t have as much time for surfing online.Secondly, college students are the main users of blog services.While in July and August,they had summer holidays, which enabled them to have more spare time reading and writing blogs.Thirdly, with improvements of blog services and the influence of some “star bloggers”, most of whom are celebrities, blogs are becoming an important way for people to express themselves and communicate with others.So more and more people are starting to use these services, which help explain the overall increase shown here.点评:这是一篇图表题。可以看出,整体呈增长趋势。但是,二月和九月有所下降。所以,分析的时候要照顾各个方面。
