篇1:古筝四级考级日记500字

全文共 527 字

+ 加入清单

在我的成长中,许多事情都已经忘记了,但是,那一件事我永远忘不了。

记得那时是炎热的八月,太阳像个大火球一样烤着大地,让人感到烦躁。就在这时,爸爸开车把我送到古筝考级的地方。那时,考官还没来,我就在候考室静静地等待老师的到来。

啊!考官不知什么时候已经来到了考场。并宣布:“一号同学请进考场,二号、三号、四号……七号到第一间候考室等待考级。”因为这是第一次考级,我的心已经开始害怕、紧张了,我的身体已经进入了“发抖模式”。心跳开始加速,腿在发抖,可见我的心里是多么紧张啊!

“七号同学请进考场室。”我的脑海中响起了这道声音,立即起身走进了考场。啊!这儿真美,四面墙壁刷的全是绿色的油漆,让人感到很舒服。我走到古筝旁,对考官鞠了个躬说:“评委老师好,今天我的考级曲是《三十三板》和《银钮丝》。”话音一落,我就坐在椅子上,双手拨起琴弦,我一时沉迷在音乐中,忘记了紧张,忘记了害怕,丝毫不知周围的环境。整首曲子弹完了,心里又怦怦直跳,我抬头一看考官,考官正在写什么,然后说:“好了,你可以走了。”我听完就跑出了考场,心里一下子轻松了许多。

考级证书下来了,我一看,成绩竟然是合格,我一时非常开心。通过这次考级,让我明白了一个道理:一分耕耘,一分收获。只有付出,才有收获。

篇2:古筝四级考级日记500字

全文共 552 字

+ 加入清单

还记得去年差不多这个时候,我经历了一件令我难忘的事——古筝四级。虽然从小到大,我经历了无数次难忘的事,它们好像是天上的星星一样,数也数不清,但去年的古筝考级,一定是目前为止最亮的那颗星。

离考级时间还有一个多小时,我就和另外一个同学一起去了考级所在的学校。在路上,我和那个同学一起背考级的谱子,背完后,我倒吸了一口凉气。因为我发现那个同学背得很熟练,像读的一样,而我有些地方是在浑水摸鱼,一点儿都不熟练。

到了候场室,我更是心急如焚。我发现我一紧张,把谱子竟然给忘了。这时一个同学问我,朵朵你会背了吗?我不好意思的回答,还不是太熟。怎么办呀?我感觉汗毛都要竖起来啦。

最不愿意面临的事情,还是来了。我跟一位老师来到了考场。因为我是第4个考试,所以还可以再背会儿谱子。可是在这种时候,哪里还有什么心情背谱子呀。我看了看坐在前面的评委老师,好吓人呀。只见他们俩人都非常严肃,脸上没有一丝笑容。“下一位,翟一朵。”我的心瞬间提到了嗓子眼儿,心儿“砰砰,砰砰”地跳着,汗水一滴一滴落在古筝上。在自我介绍的时候,紧张得差点儿把自己的名字都给忘了。

“把台下人当做萝卜白菜”,我想到了姑姑在上台前对我说的话。没错,我是不能紧张的。我在心里默默地念叨着。就这样,我慢慢舒缓了心情,顺利的弹完了曲子。这可真是一次不一样的考级呀!

篇4:大学英语四级写作冲刺的方法

全文共 1641 字

+ 加入清单

一、四级作文概述

四级作文是提纲作文,一般按提纲写出相应段落即可。在文章内容上无需追求高深新颖,切题合理便可落笔;在思路逻辑上则要求句意通顺,文字流畅;在文字表现上要求无语法错误,个别小错可忽略(如动介搭配,单词拼写等不涉及语法类小错)。另外,值得一提的是,在篇章结构上建议写三段,所以即便题目只给出两个提纲,最好在完成两个提纲后,再多补充一段,所补内容不限,但须跟话题相关。

二、四级作文例题分析

(1) The Shortage of Fresh Water

1. 目前淡水资源非常紧缺

2. 为什么会出现这种情况

3. 该如何解决

96年6月份曾考过此题,今天来看,似乎更有现实意义。这是一道负面社会现象题,那么挖掘其背后根源,并找出解决方案,就成为探讨的主要方面,而提纲也正是如此。三个提纲各属其类,界限清晰,直接按提纲写三段即可。段1为提出现象,确立研究对象。提纲1翻译后仅一句话,作为一段话则显内容单薄,字数匮乏,所以需进一步发挥。不妨从例证角度扩充,举例时即可基于国内现状,也可纵观全球,显然前者更易行。可从我国西南地区的生活缺水,水价上升,以及河流干涸等细节方面铺陈。段2是原因分析,建议分析主观原因和客观原因两方面。所谓主观原因即是基于人的思想意念,心理意识,行为动机以及行为举措,比如人们节约意识的淡漠或者人们误认为淡水取之不尽等不当想法。而客观原因则是从非人角度出发,如社会发展,人口激增,甚至污染的加剧等方面出发,这些因素均使得淡水消耗的增加。当然,考场上由于时间紧迫,无法细想,可能会写出的两个全是主观类或客观类的原因,其实也无妨,只要二者不同即可,谨防虽言明两原因,但实则彼此混淆,出现逻辑不清的窘况。段3是措施分析,措施可从官方措施和民众措施两方面写起,也可加入作为现代年轻人,我该如何约束自己,从生活中小事做起节约水资源等内容。总之,在内容上考生尽可发挥想象力,纵马驰骋,原则依旧:切题者皆可。

(2)Part-time Jobs for College Students

1.目前大学校园里很多学生业余时间做兼职

2.对于大学生是否该做兼职工作,人们看法不一

3.我的看法

这是一道校园话题,在内容上即涉及现象,又涉及观点,能很好地考察到学生的综合分析能力。提纲1依旧是现象提出,看到提纲1,大家脑海里会浮现很多熟悉的场景,如校园布告栏里张贴着的兼职广告,校园论坛上也经常发布的一些兼职信息等等,这些都可反映在段1中。所以当我们第一眼看到话题或提纲时,脑海中常常会浮现出相关场景,把这些画面定格,进行详细描绘即可,即自然又切题。当然,段1也可从学生的兼职渠道以及兼职类型等方面加以发挥。总之,提纲是总领,而符合总领的任何附属内容都可写。段2是人们对此学生兼职的不同看法,一正一反。切记在表达上述两类观点时,提出其相关论据。段3是提出作者本人看法。本人看法既可选择上述任一方(只要不极端),也可提出与上述均异的第三类观点,对于极度偏激的正反方观点则需做一番调和与勾兑(这个一般很少见)。需要提醒的是,继提出己方观点后,还应补充其他内容,如论据;也可写我的下一步做法,甚至可写我所认为的大家对此问题所应采取的对策云云。

(3)Private Cars of Today

1.目前私家车越来多了

2.私家车为人们带来的益处和问题

这道题只有两个提纲,所以建议在完成提纲要求内容之后再补充一段相关内容,可以在提纲2之后续补段3(如举措类:如何合理地限制私家车的出行以减少废气排放等等),也可在1,2之间插入一段(如原因分析,即为何私家车越来越多)。先来看提纲1,依然是事实陈述,看到提纲1,会很容易联想到马路上川流不息的过往车辆,以及高峰期令人沮丧的堵车,那么即可将这些内容付诸笔端。再看提纲2,是私家车给人们生活带来的影响,该事实是一中性事实,则需辩证地分析其影响的两面性,一方面它带来好处,如让人们的出行变得更自由更方便,另一方面它带来坏处,如排放废气,污染环境,或造成交通堵塞等等。

篇6:6月英语四级漫画作文_1500字

全文共 1437 字

+ 加入清单

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.

As the saying goes, you don’t know what happiness is until you lose it’ you don’t know whathealth is until you are ill. “Health is of vital importance to life” soundslike a cliche to everyone, but it is absolutely true.

The negligence of the delicatebalance of your body and soul, the harmful habits such assmoking, excessive drinking and burningmid-night oil will catch up with you someday. How many big plans areinterrupted by bad health! Even a normal life is unimaginable without theguarantee of health.

How to keep fit is an eternaltopic of diversity and controversy. Regardless of all the different suggestionspoured from all kinds of sources, one should do at least two thingsfor him/herself.

全国英语四级改革之后,报道成绩满分为710分,凡考试成绩在220分以上的考生,由国家教育部高教司委托“全国大学英语四六级考试委员会”发给成绩单,不设及格线。但全国英语四六级规定“英语四级成绩达到425分以上(含425分)者,可以报考英语六级”。一般认为英语四级的及格线是425分。对于招聘企业来说,分数越高自然更受青睐。

◆英语四级多少分属于优秀呢?

四级考多少分算高分?每个人的看法不同,满分是710,肯定分越高,越优秀, 有网友也说道:起码要550,550可以参加口试。但是小编这里建议是目标要按照自己水平定,别给自己太大压力。将目标定得比实际水平略高,这样比较好。

Publicizing Lists of Uncivilized Residents

1. 目前某市政府在媒体上曝光文明的市民

2. 人们对这种做法反应不一

3. 你的看法

范文:

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.

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.

Dishonesty in Tourism

1. 近年来旅游行业中不诚信现象比较普遍

2. 出现这一现象的原-因

3. 我对这一现象的看法和建议

Since 1980s, the economy of China has developed greatly. With more money in their pockets, people are spending more money on travelling, which has brought prosperity to tourism. Nevertheless, many travel agencies or agents are reported to cheat their customers and make money in a dishonest way.

The reason for dishonesty in tourism is various. First and for most, money is the spur. Some travel agencies use all means to cheat their customers in order to get more money. Secondly, to survive in the fierce competition, travel agencies have to make enough profits. To realize profit maximization, they cheat. Last but not least, their victims seem to have little sense of defending their rights.

To regulate travel agencies and protect the rights of tourists, the government has issued various laws. However, I think tourists can take the following tips to avoid travel scams. First, choose a trustworthy travel agency for your trip. Secondly, use your common sense and keep alert while travelling. Finally, defend yourself if your rights are violated.

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.
