It Necessary for a College Student to Own a Mobile Phone?
China is becoming a country with the biggest population of mobile phone subscribers and an increasing number of college students are joining the existing users.Statistics show that eight out of ten college students have got one.However, is it necessary for a college student to own a mobile phone?
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong for a college student to have a cell phone.With it, students will be better connected with friends and parents.What’s more, mobile phones play an important role in graduates’ job-hunting.Therefore, instead of banning the use mobile phones, schools should take measures to guide an appropriate use of them on campus.For example, students are required to switch off their phones in classsrooms and under no circumstances should they use a mobile phone during exams.In some public places, like libraries, a poster can be placed at the entrance to alert library users to switch their phones to vibration mode before they enter the library.I believe mobile phones can bring benefits to our students as long as we can make good use of them.Idle Young, Needy Old
This is an aged saying, but the truth in it is universal: if you do not work when you are young, you will live a miserable life when old.No one can deny it, for it is self-evident.The ancients realized this in the early time and the saying has passed on, but unfortunately, nowadays many people still turn a deaf ear to it.We can see from time to time teenagers engrossed in playing Internet games all night along, who do not care if these games do harm to both their body and their soul.More often than not, the harm becomes a hazard, and killings of the teenagers’ peers are not once in the press.Some of these kids were once excellent in their study, but do not have a good ending.There is another group of students, especially college students, who pay no attention to their majors and other knowledge, but only idle away, thinking that they have a lot of time in hand and the purpose to go to college is just to get a diploma without much effort.Such people must suffer hardship in the near future, let alone when they are old.We all should keep in mind “Idle young, needy old”, and exert our efforts to make our due contribution to society.A Poster

Dear mayor,I’m writing to tell you a serious phenomenon near my campus: there are a big number of Internet cafes near the campus, most of open to teenagers.In those cafes, most school kids play Internet games or chat on QQ or MSN, or even visit some porn websites.Some underage Internet addicts turn to the visual world for fun and gradually are unwilling to face reality, which has a bad effect on their studies and health.As I know, the minors are not allowed in Internet cafes.In order to keep the under-18 crowd away from Internet cafes, identity cards are required to get in.However, many Internet cafes are not strict with the policy because of the profit motive.So many teenagers are still sneaking in, with the majority of the young people developing addiction there, In my opinion, there should be better supervision of Internet cafes.Those that open to teenagers should be severely punished—even shut down.Thank you for taking time from your tight schedule to read my words.I sincerely hope this letter may draw you attention to the seriousness of the problem.Earnestly Yours,Jane
On College Students’ Renting Houses off Campus
According to a recent survey, 18.7 percent of college students now live in their rented “homes” off campus instead of the assigned dormitories on campus.They say, in their own small kingdom, they are enjoying more freedom they deserve as grown-ups.It is estimated that another 4.8percent undergraduates are thinking of joining them.It is undeniable that many dormitories are far from being satisfactory—small, shabby, noisy, stuffy in summer and freezing in winter.But the merits of living on campus outweight its demerits: by sharing a room with others, one learn how to understand, compromise with and help each other as well as how to live a regular life.Through more communication, one is better informed and thus enjoys more opportunities.Besides, a lot of educational facilities are near at hand and the accommodation fee is much lower than the monthly rent.Sure, if you rent a well-furnished room, you may live more comfortably and enjoy more freedom, but you are often lonely and insecure for lack of companions, and sometimes you might abuse your freedom.So, move back to the dormitory.Maybe the conditions are not desirable, but it is real college life, and it is rewarding!
A Letter to A Laid-off Acquaintance
My dear aunt,I’m greatly surprised and sad to hear that you’re laid off.But please don’t worry too much.AII roads lead to Rome.I believe we will find a way out.I remember when I was a child, I had so many colorful and comfortable sweaters that I became my friends’ envy.Those were all your masterpieces.A survey I made recently in the city where I’m living now shows that unique hand-knitted things are much more welcome thanready-made clothes.Would you think about taking up knitting as your second career? I know all things are difficult before they are easy.We will meet some unexpected difficulties in the beginning.But I firmly believe that nothing is impossible to a willing heart.Maybe your products will turn out to be a name brand.My dear aunt, please do think about it.I’ll lend you a hand when you need my help.Take care and cheer up!
Your dearest niece

第四篇：英语六级写作素材
该不该禁止鞭炮？ 无可否认，放鞭炮在中国一直是个有争议的话题。在这个问题上人们的意见分歧明显。一些持正面看法。他们说，这是一个古老的传统习俗，应予以保留。他们还声称，爆竹让节日和假日的场合更加丰富多彩，给大人和小孩都带来快乐。没有鞭炮，节日将变得乏味和冷清。
另一些人则持相反的看法。他们认为应该禁止放鞭炮。首先，他们指出，鞭炮造成火灾，毁坏财产，并且使燃放者和无辜的旁观者受伤。第二，他们说，鞭炮是一种金钱和资源的浪费。
就个人而言，我认为，我们不应该走极端。一方面，我们要保留燃放鞭炮的古***俗，另一方面，我们应该让它变得无害。可以通过禁止在公共场所燃放鞭炮做到这一点。此外，放鞭炮应限于节日。
假冒伪劣商品之我见 人们都注意到，假冒商品已成为我们面临的一个严重的问题。假冒伪劣商品充斥着市场。环顾四周，我们可以发现例子不胜枚举：盗版的书籍和电影，质量低劣的食品和饮料等。如果我们继续漠视假冒伪劣商品，它们必将产生严重的后果。首先，它们直接侵害消费者的权益，浪费他们的金钱，威胁他们的健康甚至生命。此外，生产和销售假冒商品造成诚实合法的生产者的严重损失。最后但并非最不重要的，销毁假冒商品是对国家资源的严重浪费。鉴于这个问题的严重性，必须采取有效措施，防止情况恶化。首先，至关重要的是，制定和执行法律和规则，以禁止假冒伪劣商品的生产和流通。其次，市民要增强意识，识别和拒绝不合标准的商品。有了适当的法律和公众的警觉，消除假冒伪劣商品将只是一个时间问题。/ 随着这些措施的采取，我们就有理由相信，这一问题将在不久的将来得到解决。
欲速则不达
一句著名的谚语说“欲速则不达”，意思是人们应该一步一步地做每件事。如果我们急于求成，而忽略了过程中的重要阶段，那么即使是简单的操作，很容易被搞砸。在任何工作开始之前都应该做好充分准备。
环顾四周，我们可以发现例子不胜枚举。最好的例子可能是英语学习。如果对发音没有一个好的掌握，我们就不能期望以一种可以理解的方式说话。同样，如果我们不学会正确地拼写和把握基本的语法，我们绝不会写出好的作文。
（事实上，历史上有很多欲速则不达的例子。有一则著名的中国寓言故事，说有一个农民曾试图帮助庄稼苗生长，就把它们往上拉，结果发现它们很快就死了。另一个例子是所谓的“大跃进”运动。1950年代和1960年代，中国人民是如此热衷于发展经济，他们采取了一些不恰当的措施，结果阻碍了经济的发展。）
（在这里，我想不到比我自己的经历更好的例子来证明这一谚语。我十一二岁的时候开始学骑车。由于急于骑得像别人一样好，我一开始就坐在车座上。可以想象到，我常常从车上掉下来。浪费了大量的时间后，我意识到，我应该一步一步地做。我试着站在踏板上滑行。然后我开始从大梁下骑车。最后，我成功了。）
总之，如果我们想在我们的学习、工作，或在我们生活的任何其他方面取得成就，奠定坚实的基础都是必不可少的。在每一步，都要审查已经取得的成就，评估未来的问题，然后再转到下一个步骤。记住，罗马不是一天建成的。
中国住房所有权的变化
从图表中可以看出，在过去50年中，中国的住房所有权有大幅度的变化。国有住房的比例从20世纪50年代的70%降至90年代的20％。在同一时期，私人住宅的比例从30％飙升至80％，许多因素可以解释图表中的变化，但下面的几个是最关键的。首先，由于改革开放政策，我国经济在过去几十年中一直在以相当高的速度发展。因此，人们有更多的额外资金来改善他们的住房。其次，其他有关的国家政策和房地产业的繁荣为市民提供了更多的机会选择自己的住所。最后但并非最不重要的是，人们更加重视生活质量。因此，他们更多的人根据自己的喜好购买了房子。
总而言之，这一图表极好地表明了中国经济的发展和人民生活水平的不断提高。尽管在这一过程中也出现了一系列问题，但我们有理由相信，随着政府和公众采取有效措施，它们一定会在不久的将来得到解决。
求职信
2006年6月17日
亲爱的先生/女士，我是看了2006年6月10日贵公司在《中国日报》上招聘口译员的广告给您写这封信的。随信附上我的简历，详细列明我的背景。
我相信我是这个职位的最佳人选。首先，我在中国最负盛名的语言学校 — 北京外国语大学学习了4年，这使我很好地掌握了英语技能。其次，在过去几年中我参与了很多社会活动，这有助于培养我的团队精神和创造力。此外，我还参加了口译培训课程，并获得了相关证书。最后但并非最不重要的的是，我做过兼职口译员，所以我对这份工作有很好的准备。
如果我有幸能得到这个职位，我会珍惜这个机会，尽一切努力做好工作。此外，如果你愿意提供给我面试的机会，我将非常感激。我感谢您在您方便时尽早回应。
感谢您考虑我的申请。
最好的问候。

The Road to Happiness
If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy, you will see that they all have certain things in common.The most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence.Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family.Artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their own work seems good to them.But there are many humbler forms of the same kind of pleasure.Many men who spend their working life in the city devote their weekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens, and when the spring comes, they experience all the joys of having created beauty.The whole subject of happiness has, in my opinion,been treated too solemnly.It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion.Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recovery, just as you may need a tonic when you have been ill.But when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic and happy without a theory.It is the simple things that really matter.If a man delights in his wife and children, has success in work, and finds pleasure in the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn, he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be.If, on the other hand, he finds his wife fateful, his children’s noise unendurable, and the office a nightmare;if in the daytime he longs for night, and at night sighs for the light of day, then what he needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen —a different diet, or more exercise, or what not.Man is an animal, and his happiness depends on his physiology more than he likes to think.This is a humble conclusion, but I cannot make myself disbelieve it.Unhappy businessmen, I am convinced,would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy.英语六级写作练习
Relationship Between Major and Future Job工作和所学专业不相符现在很多人工作的具体内容和其在大学所学的专业知识相关性并不大。出现这种现象的原因。3 我的看法
题目分析：
被迫学习自己不喜欢的专业绝对是种痛苦，Chance对此略有体会。写作可先从所学专业和未来工作之间关系开始讨论，接着罗列出现该现象的原因，如盲目报考热门专业，未真正找到自身兴趣所在等等。最后，给出自己观点，本文最好采用正面观点：尽管专业不对口，自己也要适应。

参考例文：
Relationship Between Major and Future Job
It’s a striking fact that there isn’t necesary relationship between one’s major and specific job duties for majority of people.Many people condemn this on outdated education system an some even complain that textbooks are useless.This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons.First of all , it’s a common sense that there alwasys exists a gap between theory and practice.This gap needs to be bridged by continuous exporation of similarities and differences between these two factors and accordingly corresponding modification.Secondly, due to the rapid development of technology, the knowledge from textbooks becomes behind the times soon.And it will lead to the disassociation between1
what one acquired in college education and what he does at work.From my point of view, when faced with the disassociation, one should adapt himself to working environment as soon as possible by adjusting his own information system.What’s more important, life-long learing is essential to one’s career success.Even after one reached the required levels from college education curriculum, pursuit of knowledge should never be ceased.Last but not the least, we should bear this firmly in mind that one’s ability is valued much more than one’s academic degree.不健康生活习惯
Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Unhealthy Habits of College Students.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1.部分大学生有不健康的生活习惯，例如：晚睡、过度消费、沉溺游戏。。
2.这种不健康生活习惯的危害3.如何纠正
写作思路依然是反复强调的功能段落的写作思路：首段为负面现象描述(即提出问题)，二段为问题分析(危害)，尾段为建议措施。
It can be noticed that there are some unhealthy living habits among young people, especially college students.Typical examples include staying up late, being addicted to games, consuming in an inappropriate way.Thus, due attention should be paid to students’ daily habits.Apparently, these bad habits may generate negative impacts.To begin with, they may impair students’ physical health and psychological fitness.In addition, what worries many teachers is that they may also exert negative influences on students’ academic performance.To conclude, never can we turn a blind eye to these phenomena.In view of the seriousness of this issue, it is time that we took effective measure.Firstly, it is suggested that universities or colleges should cultivate students’ awareness of healthy living.Secondly, students themselves are well-advised to learn to regulate and control their own life appropriately.Only by doing so, can we hope to see the ideal scenes in which students enjoy their colorful and healthy life in Ivory Tower.请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
在人际关系上我们不能太浪漫主义。人是很有趣的，往往在接触一个人时首先看到的都是他或她的优点。这一点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候，印象很好。吃头两个主菜时，也是赞不绝口，愈吃愈趋于冷静，吃完了这顿筵席，缺点就都找出来了。参考翻译：
We should not be too romantic in the interperonal relations.People are interesting in this way.When they meet a person,what they are see at first is always the good points of his or hers,which is like dining in a restaurant.You will be not only favorably impressed with the first dish or cold dishes,but also profuse in praise of the first two main courses.However,the more you have,the more somber you become until the dinner ends up with all the flaws exposed.六级阅读
British universities, groaning under the burden of a huge increase in student numbers, are warning that the tradition of a free education is at risk.The universities have threatened to impose an admission fee on students to plug a gap in revenue if the government does not act to improve their finances and scrap some public spending cutbacks.The government responded to the universities’ threat by setting up the most fundamental review of higher education for a generation, under a non-party troubleshooter(调停人)，Sir Ron
Dearing.One in three school-leavers enters higher education, five times the number when the last review took place thirty years ago.Everyone agrees a system that is feeling the strain after rapid expansion needs a lot more money-but there is little hope of getting it from the taxpayer and not much scope for attracting more finance from business.Most colleges believe students should contribute to tuition costs, something that is common elsewhere in the world but would mark a revolutionary change in Britain.Universities want the government to introduce a loan scheme for tuition fees and have suspended their own threatened action for now.They await Dearing’s advice, hoping it will not be too late-some are already reported to be in financial difficulty.As the century nears its end, the whole concept of what a university should be is under the microscope.Experts ponder how much they can use computers instead of classrooms, talk of the need for lifelong learning and refer to students as “consumers.”
The Confederation(联盟)of British Industry, the key employers’ organization, wants even more expansion in higher education to help fight competition on world markets from booming Asian economies.But the government has doubts about more expansion.The Times newspaper egress, complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers soared, with close tutorial supervision giving way to “mass production methods more typical of European universities.”
21.The chief concern of British universities is ________.A)how to tackle their present financial difficulty
B)how to expand the enrollment to meet the needs of enterprises
C)how to improve their educational technology
D)how to put an end to the current tendency of quality deterioration
22.We can learn from the passage that in Britain ________.A)the government pays dearly for its financial policy
B)universities are mainly funded by businesses
C)higher education is provided free of charge
D)students are ready to accept loan schemes for tuition
23.What was the percentage of high school graduates admitted to universities in Britain thirty years ago?
A)20% or so.B)About 15%.C)Above 30%.D)Below 10%.24.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A)the British government will be forced to increase its spending on higher education
B)British employers demand an expansion in enrollment at the expense of quality
C)the best way out for British universities is to follow their European counterparts
D)British students will probably have to pay for their higher education in the near future
25.Which of the following is the viewpoint of the Times newspaper?
A)Expansion in enrollment is bound to affect the quality of British higher education.B)British universities should expand their enrollment to meet the needs of industry.C)European universities can better meet the needs of the modern world.D)British universities should help fight competition on world markets.
