第一篇:2014年大学英语四级作文题材训练之微博
题目:微博流行的原因
The Popularity of Micro-blogging
1.近年来“微博”越来越流行,许多人利用“微博”来表达心声、交流想法。
2.微博流行的原因。
3.微博可能引起的弊端。
[示例范文]
Micro-blogging is no longer a strange word.More precisely, it has become part of our life.As for me, many factors contribute to the widespread of Micro-blogging.First, it is very convenient for people to express their instant feelings at any time.Second, it provides a chance for people to release their inner stress.By revealing their heartfelt emotions on the Micro-blogging, their friends may also know about their conditions and can offer in-time comfort.However, Micro-blogging can also be potentially dangerous as it may give away people’s privacy and other significant information.All in all, Micro-blogging provides us comfort and also inevitably some concerns.We should be careful while using it.[作文点评]
第一段直接切入主题。首句在说明微博越来越流行时没有用肯定句micro-blogging is more and more popular, 而是用否定句的方式“负负得正”。
从第二段开始阐释流行的原因。Contribute to是固定词组,表示为„„作出贡献,其对应的名词是contribution。第一个原因是微博方便人们在任何时候表达他们当时的感觉。这里通过“at any time”和“instant feeling”突出了微博和传统博客的区别。第二个原因是微博可以减压。此处release表示释放,除了跟release pressure, release stress, 还可以跟release news。
第三段描述了微博的弊端,give away表示出卖,同义词有betray。最后一段是作者的对微博的态度,在充分肯定微博积极意义的同时提醒人们要谨慎使用微博。
第二篇:2014年大学英语四级作文题材训练之食品安全
题目:食品安全
Food Safety
1.食品安全问题令人担忧。
2.对此,你有什么看法(可从蔬菜、水果滥用农药、激素方面分析)?
[示例范文]
Currently, many problems concerning the safety of food have popped up.As for me, I believe at least three factors account for this issue.First, I observe that profits drive many food producers to commit illegal things.They aim to gain more money at the expense of consumers’ health.Second, the overuse of agricultural pesticide has resulted in the degradation of food quality.The excessive pesticide bears enormous health hazard for people.Furthermore, some food producers inject hormones into domestic animals so as to make them grow more quickly and thus they can turn in more profit.As a result, people’s health has been seriously disturbed.All in all, food safety is such a great concern, and we all should do establish laws and implement them effectively to avoid producing toxic foods.[作文点评]
首句直接点题,词组pop up指弹起,这里指食品安全突然间成了一大社会问题。文章第二部分从蔬菜生产商、水果滥用农药及激素方面阐释了食品安全问题的根源。Observe除了有观察之意,还可以表示某人的观点;动词commit后面通常接违法或伤害性的事情,如commit a crime, commit illegal things, commit suicide等等。“以消费者的健康为代价”除了使用at the expense of 还可以使用at the cost of 或者ignoring。另外,在表达同一意思或相近意思时,此文避免了一词多用,而是采用不同的单词或词组,如劣质食品使用了problems concerning the safety of food, the degradation of food quality和toxic foods。
最后一段再次点题,并提出了万能解决方案之一,即政府和相关单位要制定法律法规。
第三篇:2014年大学英语四级作文题材训练之公德心
题目:公德心
Should we help others in need?
1.现在经常有这样的现象发生:路上有人摔倒,没人敢上前帮忙。
2.这是人们的公德心缺失还是其他什么原因呢?
3.你对此有何看法?
[示例范文]
Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture.But what’s strange nowadays is that people dare not show their helping hands to those in need.I would like to elaborate my views on this issue.Firstly, I think people’s moral sense has degraded.When egoism gains the upper hand, many people find it growingly hard to help others.Secondly, there is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions.So common people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits.In general, I contend the idea that we should be warm-hearted and offer help as well as look out for potential hazards so as not to be deceived.[作文点评]
第一句话介绍背景,使用“美德”virtue一词。第二句话为转折句,除了使用but这个表示强烈转折意味的连接词,还采用了strange和首句形成鲜明对比。
文章第二部分开始阐释人们公德心(moral sense)缺乏的原因。指出原因之一为自私。此处采用了egoism, 也可使用selfishness, 但不可使用individualism,后者在英语语境中通常作褒义词讲,即崇尚自尊自立之意。原因之一是内因,原因之二是外因。Trap指陷阱,deceit指欺骗。第二段使用了内外因、主客观因素结合的方法,较全面地解释了公德心缺失的根源。最后一段表明作者立场,提出既要坚持善良之心也要有防备之心。

第五篇:2014年大学英语四级作文题材训练之反对盗版
题目: It's Time to Stop Software Piracy 1.盗版软件比比皆是 2.盗版软件猖獗的原因 3.如何打击盗版软件 范文:
It's Time to Stop Software Piracy
China has often been criticized for the rampant practice of software piracy.Take a look around.We operate on pirated Windows systems, defend PC security with pirated Kaspersky anti-virus programmes, process files with pirated Microsoft Office, draft 3D designs with pirated AutoCAD, refine pictures with pirated Adobe Photoshop, and study English with pirated Kingsoft's electronic dictionaries and translators.It's no exaggeration that pirated software is everywhere。
The logic behind the phenomenon is simple and clear: if a pirated copy is available for just a tiny fraction of the normal price, not to speak of many of the free downloads online, who would pay for an authentic copy? Cheaper prices aside, easy access is another important factor.With such a large gathering of pirated upgrades around, who would bother to spend time and money searching the stores for an authorized yet outdated version?
Despite these apparent benefits, the practice of software piracy should be banned, because it represents unfair competition and by nature it's a no-win situation.But how? Two approaches are to be taken at the same time: Technically, software developers should enhance their antipiracy engineering, so that cracking the software should be virtually impossible.And legally, the government should also tighten its antipiracy laws and toughen up the penalties, so that violations should be costly。
