全文共 2123 字

+ 加入清单

Directions: Write a composition entitled On Online Chatting. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 网上聊天越来越流行; 有人反对它,有人赞同; 我的看法。

范文一: Online Chatting

With the development of IT, online chatting is becoming increasingly popular with many people.

However, people’s opinions about it vary from person to person. Some think that it has more problems than benefits. First, it is a waste of time, energy and money as it doesn’t produce any useful information and products. Second, it is misleading to its users because cyberspace is actually an imaginary space where things are unreal or fictional.

But the advocates of online chatting support it because it is another way of recreation which is both exciting and relaxing. Besides, it helps them release their emotions and worries freely and safely. To them, it is very useful and wonderful.

As far as I am concerned, whether online chatting is good or bad depends on the person who does it.

Control we can use it cientifically and properlyandcurbjits bad effect to the greatest extent. (159 words)

范文二: Online Chatting

With the development of computers, the Internet has made its way into our daily life, Online chatting as a new communicative way has become more and more popular, especially with youngsters. However, like everything else, online chatting has both advantages and disadvantages.

On one hand, people can make friends and air their views freely on line. When they feel frustrated they may talk with a stranger on line rather than with their parents or friends. For they think its easier to talk

with a stranger on line. They can also chat with people from different areas all over the world. When the chat is over, they feel contented and refreshed.

On the one hand, some young people become too addicted to online chatting. They will sit in front of the computer day and night. It is not only a waste of time but also harmful to their health.

In my opinion, online chatting does bring a lot benefits to our life, but we should try to reduce the negative effects to the minimum and make online chatting our valuable assistant.

2015年12月英语四级作文预测一:话题:Should College Students Be Allowed to GetMarried?

Thereis no denying the fact that it is a hotly debated topic today whether collegestudents should be allowed to get married. Some time ago, the ban was lifted bysome universities on students getting married. To this people’s attitudesdiffer sharply. Some hold the positive view. They say that most collegestudents are adults and that it is a basic right for those who have reached theappropriate ages to get married.

Manyothers, however, hold the opposite view. They claim that the university orcollege is a place to study instead of a community to lead a family life. Allowingcollege students to get married would adversely affect their study. Forinstance, they would spend too much time attending their family and love,unable to concentrate on their school work.

Asfar as I am concerned, I believe that it is OK to allow college students to getmarried. Anyway, this is their freedom. Actually, we don’t have to worry toomuch because facts have shown that most college students would choose not toget married in the face of such fierce competition and heavy school work.

(或 Asfar as I am concerned, I believe that college students should not be allowed toget married. Though mostly adults, they are actually immature psychologically.Their wish to get married is, more often than not, impulses. Besides, asstudents, they are not ready to support a family financially.)

Besides, they’re very convenient to access. Onecan use a computer or cell phone to log on at home, in a restaurant, or even inthe subway. But some people don’t approve of the social network sites. They saythat people are wasting too much time on the sites. Some even get addicted tothem and abandon their real life. After all, they don’t live in the virtualworld.

2015年12月英语四级考试作文预测四:农民工

Why Are There So Many Rural Laborers in Big Cities?

1. 近年来越来越多的民工涌入大城市

2. 产生这一社会现象的原因

【范文】

For a number of years, there has been a steady rise in the number of rurallaborers who flood into big cities. Many men work on construction sites, whilemany women work as dishwashers in restaurants or babysitters for city dwellers.Three reasons, in my mind, can account for this social phenomenon.

First and foremost, the limited land can no longer produce enough crops foran ever-increasing rural population. In the second place, there are far moreopportunities in big cities—rural laborers dream of earning money through hardwork. Last but by no means least, many of them want to live permanently in bigcities, because they admire the way of living there, and wish their children toreceive good education.

I firmly believe that if we try our best to create a healthy socialatmosphere, rural laborers will make greater contribution to our nation.

【点评】

本题谈论的是一种社会现象。第一段首句引入某一现象,第二句举例说明,第三句是个过渡句,引起下面解释原因段落的第二段;第三段是简洁的结束语,其中的宾语从句嵌套一个状语从句。

范文首先指出大量农民工涌入大城市这一现象,并引出第二段所阐述的三个原因。首先,农村有限的土地不能满足日益增长的人口消费。其次,大城市有更多的工作机会。最后,农民工向往大城市的生活,想永远居住在大城市。末段总结指出,如果创造一个健康的社会环境,农民工就可以为国家做出更大的贡献。

第一段第二句中的construction site表示“建筑工地”,babysitter表示“帮人看孩子的人”。第二段第一点中的rural指“农村的”;第三点中的permanently和admire分别指“永久地”和“羡慕”,receive education指“接受教育”。

On Cultivating the Sense of Gratitude

On college campuses across the nation, there is a noticeable phenomenonthat we cannot afford to ignore: far too many young college students lack thesense of gratitude, one of the countless traditional virtues of this ancientland with a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years. These young adultswere not and are not aware of the huge importance of expressing gratitude tothose who once helped them, from teachers to parents and so forth。

Personally, I deem that the root cause of students without a graceful heartis that they receive an education not valuing the moral sphere. I stronglybelieve that joint efforts from folks across society are the final remedy forthis social headache. As young university students of the new era, we shouldmake our own contributions to this cause. Imagine a world without the sense ofgratitude. This kind of world is doomed to failure. Simply put, we should joinour hands to heighten our awareness of fostering a graceful heart. Only in thisway can we build our society into a harmonious one. My fellow students, I begyou to act from now on.

On Uncivilized Behaviors

We cannot fail to notice that countless uncivilized behaviors exist in ourdaily lives, such as spitting, talking loudly, littering, saying nasty words inpublic places and so forth. All these are bad manners that we should not losesight of. As an ancient land enjoying a splendid civilization spanning over5,000 years, China is witnessing a surge in improper acts that every Chinesecitizen should feel ashamed of. Uncivilized behaviors by a host of Chinese bothat home and abroad have seriously affected Chinas image, according to aneditorial posted on People Dailys official website.

As Chinese, we should not get offended when others point out our weaknessesbut should focus more attention on improving ourselves. We should strive toidentify the causes of those improper behaviors and find ways to eliminatethem. There are a host of causes, I would argue, behind this trend. To nameonly one: the lack of moral education. The government should wage a massivemoral campaign to fight against this trend and we ourselves should endeavor tobehave decently in our daily lives. As college students of the new age, weshould take the leading role.

参考范文:

On WaterShortage

No one can have failed to notice the fact that water shortage is a graveproblem with which the whole world is confronted. Actually, it has become sowidespread that it has severely affected people’s daily life and hindered thedevelopment of the global economy.

A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following mightbe the critical ones. First, with the development of agriculture and industry,an increasing amount of water is needed. Secondly, the ever-increasingpopulation is another leading cause of water shortage. Besides, the globaltendency of warming up also contributes to the problem. What’s worse, pollutionand waste of fresh water aggravate the situation.

In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be takenbefore things get worse. First, it is essential that laws and regulations beworked out and enforced to protect water resources. Secondly, people shouldenhance their awareness of saving water. With these measures taken, it isreasonable for us to expect a brighter future.

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

写作思路依然是上课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 youngpeople, especially college students. Typical examples include staying up late,being addicted to games, consuming in an inappropriate way. Thus, due attentionshould 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. Inaddition, what worries many teachers is that they may also exert negativeinfluences on students’ academic performance. To conclude, never can we turn ablind eye to these phenomena。

In view of the seriousness ofthis issue, it is time that we took effective measure. Firstly, it is suggestedthat universities or colleges should cultivate students’ awareness of healthyliving. Secondly, students themselves are well-advised to learn to regulate andcontrol their own life appropriately. Only by doing so, can we hope to see theideal scenes in which students enjoy their colorful and healthy life in IvoryTower.

2015年12月英语四级作文预测十:电影和电视对公众的影响力

How do movies or television influence people’sbehavior? Use reasons and specific examples to supportyour answer.

【范文】 The Influence of Television and Movies

There is no doubt that watchingtelevision and movies can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort ofvisual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects ofvisual media cannot be ignored.

One obvious effect of these mediais that watching them induces people to buy certain products. Televisionadvertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the moviesaffect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or adistorted one, depending on what type ofprogram they watch. Those who watch news and educational program can learn manynew things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come tobelieve that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. Itmay make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate actsthat they see on TV or in the movies.

With the ever-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take theplace of real experience.

题目: Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should comment on the role of mobile phone in peoples communication. You are required to write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

参考范文: The Role of Mobile Phone in Peoples Communication

The popularity of smartphones has exerted great influence on the way people communicate, so much so that an increasing number of individuals contend that face-to-face communication is being replaced by texts and images on the mobile phone.

There are more than one angle to consider this phenomenon. On one hand, it is pleasantly acknowledged that smartphones shorten the distance between families and friends. Even people from different sides of the globe can share pictures, feelings and thoughts through various types of apps on the phone, thus building a long-distance connection. On the other hand, as the picture warns us, too much smartphone addiction interferes with peoples real-life communication. Statistics show that over 70 percent of face-to-face communication consists of facial expressions and body language, which is why people should stay away from mobile phones when they have the chance to actually talk and communicate with others.

In a word, mobile phones act as an appropriate platform where people can always stay in tough however long the distance is, but a wise man should know when to put down his phone.

篇9:2024关于英语图画作文写作方法

全文共 724 字

+ 加入清单

英语一考生要在三十分钟内写出160-200个词汇的文章,英语二的考生需要完成150个词汇左右的文章。写作时要求主题突出、结构清晰、文字通顺、连贯性好,祛除语法错误。在考试过程中,考生能在有限时间内详细解读考题设问要求,并匠心独运的构想、拟题、列提纲,最后完成一篇考场佳作,这需要前期十分认真的备考。

在写作中,考生要特别注意文章的中心思想是否切题,论据是否足够充分,如不充分则要对论据详细展开。句语句、段与段连接要自然,逻辑关系清晰明晰,切忌不要出现与主题无关的句子。人称、时态等细节处要保持一致,单词拼写、大小写以及标点也要注意到位。

由于近些年图画作文较热,是考研英语写作中出现频率最高的一类文体,我们来重点学习一下这种文体的写作方法

图画作文通常是给出一幅或多幅漫画或图片,所给图画多反映当前的热点社会现象或热点社会现实。这类作文难度较大,要求考生首先仔细剖析图画内容,并通过文字形式将图中所包罗的思想内容准确无误地表达出来。大家可将此类作文转化为三段或四段式的提纲作文写作。

1、认真审题

在审题时,考生要在认真剖析图画所反映的内容以及出题者出题意图的前提下,通过表层含义剖析图画真正想要说明的问题是什么,深入研究图画的表层含义和深层含义,从而挖掘出其深层含义以确定文章的中心思想。

2、确定写作重点

认真审题后,考生就要确定写作重点了,根据剖析和研究的结果列出提纲并安排段落。确定每一个段落的主题和写作重点,考生要根据题目要求对选材进行筛选。

3、确定写作提纲

如何列提纲,即考生对题设材料的剖析得出结论后形成的基本框架结构,漫画标的主题、directions中的要求包罗了哪些内容,文章段落应该如何组织,基本提纲确定了的基础上,才能思路清晰、行文流通。

Like anything prior tothe emergence of this small piece of plastic, the increasing popularity ofcredit card on campus has both bright and dark sides. On the one hand, youngadults in college, free from the trouble of pocketing a considerable sum ofcash, could enjoy the convenience of credit cards and purchase expensive goodsby installments. On the other hand, however, the irresponsible and excessiveuse of the cards by these youngsters, the majority of whom are fresh out ofmiddle school incapable of budgeting their money, can make them heavily in debtwhich will take them years to pay off。

On my personal level,while enjoying a host of conveniences the credit card may bring, we couldntafford to ignore a fact: in most cases,parents are our sole financial sources.Instead of spending without anyrestrict, we are supposed to put studies on the top of our agenda and moveourselves beyond heavy dependence upon our parents。

篇12:基础薄弱如何进行英语四级写作训练

全文共 916 字

+ 加入清单

英语四级考试目的是推动大学英语教学大纲的贯彻执行,对大学生的英语能力进行客观、准确的测量,为提高我国大学英语课程的教学质量服务。下面是小编为大家带来的基础薄弱如何进行英语四级写作训练的知识,欢迎阅读。

英语四级写作备考可分为四大步骤:

一、 背诵:

首先认真研究历年四级写作真题,重点研究2001年6月—2005年12月的11次真题,分析近年来四级写作的出题规律和考试重点,从语言、结构、 内容三大层面,认真研读经典写作真题范文:语言方面学习范文中的精彩词汇、词组、句型;结构方面学习范文的框架结构、内在逻辑、关联词、同义替换和代词替换;内容方面学习范文的论点、论据和论证。同时背诵精彩写作范文,要求滚瓜烂熟、脱口而出、多多益善,扎扎实实提高自己的写作实力。历年英语四级六级真题 >>

二、默写:

背诵熟练之后默写下来,仔细对照原文,会发现你默写的文章与原文有一些语法、拼写、标点的区别,这些区别就是你的写作弱点,学习关键在于针锋突破,不要全面出击。这些弱点正是你在考试中扣分的原因所在,把这些弱点意义克服,分数自然就会提高。

三、 中译英:

首先将写作真题范文译为中文,或参考范文的正确译文,然后进行中译英的工作,根据自己的理解把中文译为英文,最后对照英文原文,你会发现你的译文与原文存在较大的差别,这些差别正是你写作低分的症结所在。同样的一个中文句子,仔细对比一下你使用了哪些词汇、词组和句型,原文使用了哪些,这样你的写作水平才会逐渐提高。

四、 写作:

进行完上述工作之后,在考前必须进行写作的工作,只有动笔写作,才会发现自己的问题。可以写5—10篇真题或模拟题,模仿自己曾经背诵过的精彩词汇、词组、句型、框架和范文,写出一篇新的文章。最初不要求速度,但考前一定要进行模考,半小时写出一篇120-150词的文章。写完之后仔细修改其中的语言错误,将其改的更加精彩。

英语写作基础不太好的四级考生,必须按照上述步骤严格进行;基础较好的考生学习顺序正好相反,首先写作,直接写作英语四级真题;其次中译英,在研读原文之前,进行中译英的工作,译完对比,找出差距;然后背诵;最后默写。同时可以准备自己的写作框架,应用文和论说文分别形成固定的写法,积累精彩句型。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Witness of a Theft Incident. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline below:

1)描述你在公共场所目睹的一次扒窃事件

2)谴责这种不文明现象

【思路点拨】

本题属于提纲式文字命题。提纲第1点要 求描述一次事件的经过,提纲第2点要求对事件进行评论,由此可判断本文应为记叙文。 根据所给提纲,本文应包含如下内容:交待事件背景;描述扒窃事件的经过和最后结果;谴责这种不文明 的现象,提出解决建议。

A Witness of a Theft Incident Yesterday, I witnessed a theft incident on my way home. The thief was so rampant that it left me a very deep impression. It was in the rush hour, when many people were buying tickets at the subway station. A woman took her purse out and paid for the ticket. Then she put her purse back into her bag and turned to leave, when a mid-aged man brushed past her muttering Excuse me. She didnt feel unusual and went into the station. Indeed, her purse had been stolen by that man. To our surprise, the thief seems not to be nervous at all and even began to look others up and down. Maybe he was searching for the next target. At that time some persons, including me, witnessed the process. But unfortunately, no one dared to warn that woman. This incident makes me ashamed and leaves me a deep thought. The pickpocket has posed a great threat to residents and visitors property safety. Undoubtedly, it is an urgent thing to take action to prevent pickpocket. However, it cannot depend on the police only. Instead, it needs our common efforts. We can not shut our eyes and mouths to the pickpocket any more. It should be kept in our minds that our forces are far beyond those thieves.

Publicizing Lists of Uncivilized Residents

To improve tbe behavior of its citizens, the government of X City has teamed with local media to release lists of uncivilized behavion. The lists have photos and basic information of offenders e. g, drivers brealdng traffic rules have their license-plate nurabers listed along with the time and location of the infraction. This has attracted particular public attention.

Some welcome the policy, believing it will deter people ftom poor behavior They say it will force people to behave themscives, or they will risk being named and shamed in the media. However, critics have complained that the initiative is an abuse of administrative power and is irresponsible Citizens should certainly be held responsible for misconduct, they say, but the government should also create an environment to help people exercise self-discipline.

Personatlyt I agree that citizens should be responsible for their improper behavior but governments also do have a responsibility to improve their management. Besides, according to laws, law enforcement departments are entitled to give the proper punishments to violators of public regulations. It is, however, groundless for these governmental organs to publicly disgrace the rule- brcakcis.
