专四作文字数
篇一:专八的作文和专四相比不外乎字数有所上升
专八的作文和专四相比不外乎字数有所上升,语言要求有所提高,主要是以议论文为主。
文章框架还是基本的三大部分:提出你的观点、论述你的观点、总结提炼。
一般的话,提出论点一段;论述观点的话,一个论据一段,这样比较清晰;最后的总结一段。
这样下来差不多5段左右咯。
没人规定要写几段,文章结构清晰,论述支持你的论点,别偏题的就可以了。
平时还是要多写写的,考试时候时间还是很紧的哈。

The Main Difference Between My College Life and My Middle School Life
As every college student would agree,life in college is different from that in middle sch001.In my opinion.the main difference lies in the fact that we enjoy more independence at college.
As far as I?m concerned,I prefer the college life to the middle school life.For one thing,I live on my own:wash my own clothes,buy my own food,looking myself.I make my daily decisions of my own will.For another,I depend heavily on myself in my study.I have plenty of free time outside the classroom.In order to achieve academic success,I can derive as much from the teachers? lectures as from my own diligence.In the absence of pressure from
both the college and the family,I must have a workable
plan of my own.
To sum up,I live a quite different life at college from that in my middle school in that I am much more responsible for my own life and study.To those newcomers,1 would suggest they break away from their parents? tender care and stand on their own feet.

More Pressure From Academic Studies Does No Good to Us
It is believed one of the main problems with today's education is that too much emphasis is placed on test scores. It has become the most important criterion for college eollment. A student, however creative and intelligent, will not be admitted into a college, for assignment or in employment competitions if his/her test scores are not high enough. Therefore, students are faced with more and more pressure from academic studies. In my opinion, this is harmful for students' overall development.
First, the competition for high scores among students becomes intense. Students find themselves concentrating more on strategies to achieve high scores than on acquiring the knowledge. They will play truant of some subsidiary courses, skip over the substance which will not be tested on. Second, teachers are apt to give their students high scores. As their job is judged mainly by students' performance in terms of scores, some teachers tend to set easy papers to test their students on or narrow down the scope of the exam, even give them the hints to exams, or favor their students with high scores.
In fact, times are different. The criteria for good college students are changing now. It is tree that good marks continue to be some students' dream, yet there are a growing number of students
who are concerned much more about things other than academic achievement. Job market demands personnel with both intelligent and non-intelligent qualities. Therefore, students today should be better prepared for challenges and competition upon graduation.

It is now generally accepted that vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) are a m(转载自: 千叶帆文摘:专四作文字数)ajor source of air pollution in cities. You are to suggest only ONE way to solve the problem.
Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:
ONE WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
You are to write in three paragraphs.
In the first paragraph, state what your suggested way is.
In the second paragraph, state one or two advantages of your suggestion.
In the last paragraph, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion.
Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.
One Way to Solve the Problem
Too many vehicles, such as cars, tracks, motorcycles, have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, they are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big dries. All the time, the vehicles are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are harmful, causing disease and even death.
One possible solution that may reduce air pollution created by so many vehicles is to develop modem public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not have private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly. People would find more room to walk, to jog, to perform what they used to do in the open air. Moreover, dirt, noise exhaust, parked cars, and smog would decrease greatly.
There is no inherent incompatibility between man in an urban setting and the automobile. But we don't want cars to seize our living space. We take for granted that everyone could enjoy the pleasure of stretching his legs freely, breathing and sniffing the air cheerfully. On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the co-efforts from the government, the public and the environments.
We see advertisements on television every day. Some people think that TV advertising brings us benefits, hut others don ?t think so. What is your opinion? Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:
A MAJOR ADVANTAGE / DISADVANTAGE OF ADVERTISING ON TELEVISION You are to write in three paragraphs.
In the first paragraph, state just ONE major advantage or disadvantage of TV adv ertising. In the second paragraph, give one or two reasons to support your point of view. In the last paragraph, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion. Marks will he awarded for
content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failur e to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.
参考范文:A Major Advantage of Advertising on Television Nowadays we can see advertisements on Television every day. Some people believe that
advertising on television can bring us benefits, but others don?t think so. In my opinion, I am in favor of the advertising on television.
There are two reasons, I think, for the growing number of advertisement on TV. First, in a
competitive economy, the consumer usually has the choice of
several different brands of the same product. Thus, manufacturers are confronted with a problem—How to keep sales high enough to stay in business. They solve this problem by advertising. Through advertising, each manufacturing company tries to convince consumers that its product is special. Second, most consumers are interested in advertisement. They wish to get from TV advertisement the
first As a result, there is a sharp increase in advertisement on the TV screen.
In conclusion, TV advertising plays a very important role in our economic behavior. With
2000 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION[35 MIN]
Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic: College life should be varied and colourful. And extracurricular activities are an important aspect
of it. However, at present, there is much room for improvement in this regard. Write an article to the university radio entitled:
The Importance of Extracurricular Activities In the first part of your article you should clearly present your view, and in the second part you should support your opinion with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or summary. Marks will be awarded for content,
organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
The Importance of Extracurricular Activities
Dear Editor,
People have different ideas about how students should spend their school days. Some believe that students should spend the whole day on academic studies. Others believe that extracurricular activities should be a required part of every school day. I think both ways have their advantages. But I prefer the latter.
As a student, our main task is to concentrate on our academic study. We have to attend classes, reading books and doing assignments. Only by working hard can we learn our courses well. But I don?t think we should spend every hour and minute on academic study. A proverb says, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”Without good health and strong body, how can we improve our study efficiency and make great achievements in our academic study? Besides, spending the whole day on academic study may make us exhausted and weak. We should find other meaningful things to do besides studying. For example, doing extracurricular activities can make students? life more colorful and beneficial. There are various forms of exercise. My favorite one is football. I play football with my classmates for one hour every
afternoon. After a day?s hard work, how nice it is to stretch my arms and legs! By playing football I?ve got both joy and strength. I always look energetic.
Actually doing extracurricular activities doesn?t disturb our study if we make full use of our time. Instead it does help us study more efficiently. We can be good at learning as well as extracurricular activities. So I suggest that students do extracurricular activities along with their academic studies.
Yours Sincerely,
Tom Smith
2001年专四作文真题:Travel Broadens the Mind 年专四作文真题:(旅游开阔人的视野)——关于旅游

范文:Travel Broadens the Mind
①Nowadays more and more people choose to travel during their holidays, since travel not only brings leisure and joy but also broadens the mind. As for me, not only can it bring me more historical knowledge, but it can also add to my social experience.
Take my trip to Mount Tai for example. As is known to all, it?s a magnificent mountain famous for both the beautiful scenery and the splendid cultural heritage. At the very sight of her, my soul was attached to her. I remembered the poem “Wang Yue”written by Du Fu, I remembered many historic events which happened on this land and I also recalled the responsibility to conserve this heritage. As I climbed up the mountain, our guide told me many things I had never got to know before, which of course broadened my scope of knowledge. It was also on this trip that I made many new friends with whom I exchanged my opinions, and that I got acquainted with
some information about first aid and package tour. All this indeed added to my social experience.
In short, travel offers a good chance for me to open my eyes and eich my experience while I can enjoy myself. It broadens the mind in
a relaxing way.
②Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. More and more people have enough money to travel abroad or at home. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. This situation is encouraging, for it not only broadens people's minds to the extend which may not be reached previously, but also relaxes them physically, which help people work out mental problems more actively.
One of my best friends is so exclusively engaged in his works that he did not even know what was happening out of his own discipline. What?s worse, his progress was nearly little. After accepting my advice, he travelled a few cities and towns. The experience gave him a good opportunity of learning. Today, he gets a bumper harvest in his knowledge——the longstanding dream of entering graduate school comes true.
In conclusion, travel opens our mind because it enables us to know about the history and culture of a nation. In a way, going on travels is like reading books.

高分密招
1.在考场中,常常感到无话可说,该怎么办?
的确,在考场中有些考生由于紧张,常常会出现大脑一片空白,在10分钟之内动不了笔。
对于这种在考场中思维短路的现象,有两种对策。
对策一:逆向思维法。
考生在拿到一个作文话题、但不知该如何动笔时,可以去联想有关该话题的具体事件,从具体事件中提炼出观点,再将观点反弹回去,即topic具体事件观点。
例如看到The Advantage and Disadvantage of TV这个文章题目时,如果不知如何下笔,可以去联想一些具体的电视节目。
一提到电视节目,
就会自然而然地想到《新闻联播》。
《新闻联播》有哪些好处呢?当然是开拓视野,了解世界。
同时,还会联想到一些暴力片和色情片,它们对儿童的身心健康发展不利。
对策二:正说反说法。
考生在写作中感到观点空洞茫然,不易理论清楚,甚至不知从何谈起时,可以从正、反两个方面对议题进行“摆事实,讲道理”,即“如果这样,就会怎么样;如果不这样,又会怎么样”。
2.在写作中,遇到不会表达的词语该怎么办?
对于母语是中文的学习者,其中文词汇量往往大于英文词汇量,在英文写作中遇到不能表达的词语是最正常不过的事情了。
但有的考生在遇到不会拼写的单词时,往往绞尽脑汁,冥思苦想,结果造成思维短路,得不偿失。
其实,对于这种情况,也有两种对策。
对策一:用其近义词代替。
如在写Student Use of Computer这篇作文时,很多同学以“在最近10年里,学生使用电脑的小时数一直在增加”这句话来开头。
“10年”可以用decade表示,“增加”可以用ascend表示。
但是不知道这两个词或对于它们的拼写没有把握时,可用其近义词表示,如“10年”
“增加”还可用increase, go up, rise, grow, 直接用ten years就可以,
jump, climb等。
在这个时候,考生必须遵守“宁为瓦全,不可玉碎”的原则。
这就要求在平时注意多收集一些同义词。
如在每一篇作文中都会用到的一个单词“认为”,英文中有很多单词来表
达此义,如think, agree, claim, maintain, argue, believe, h old, suggest, view…as, regard…as, consider…(as)。
又如另一个单词“目前,最近”,可用nowadays, these years, recently, lately, currently, at present。
此外,同义词的收集与运用有助于考生在写作中用词多样化。
对策二:当考生在写作中,既找不到该词的近义词,又不能用解释性的语言进行阐述时,考生可以考虑用其上义词或下义词来代替。
上义词是对事物的概括性、抽象性说明;下义词是事物的具体表现形式。
如Owing a Car这篇文章谈到拥有汽车的弊端,其中有一点是汽车会排放出一氧化碳(carbon oxide)和二氧化碳(carbon dioxide),对空气造成污染。
当然,如果不知道如何拼写,更不知该如何去释义一氧化碳和二氧化碳时,可以用它们的上义词poisonous gases来表示,因为不论是一氧化碳还是二氧化碳都是有毒气体。
又如Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus(大学生该如何走出校园了解世界),提纲的第二点要求是大学生了解社会的途径( 大众媒体、社会服务等)。
“大众媒体”为mass media,“社会服务”为social service。
如果考生不会表达,但是在提纲里又明确规定不能不写时,可以用其下义词来代替。
大众媒体的具体表现形式是TV,radio, newspaper, internet;社会服务的具体表现形式则为part-time job, tutoring等。
因而,考生在写作中遇到不会表达的单词时,应该沉着冷静,考虑用其近义
词、上义词或下义词来代替。
如何给阅卷老师留下美好的第一印象
要想作文获得高分,显而易见就是要给阅卷老师留下美好的印象。
老师们的阅卷过程是郁闷枯燥的。
使自己的文章在大约1分钟的阅读时间内,迅速地在他们的脑海中形成较多的兴奋点,是至关重要的。
首先,作文的写作时间为35分钟,合理的时间安排为10+20+5 (10 分钟审题构思提纲+20 分钟写作+5 分钟校对),前面的10分钟用来读题审题,构思并列提纲,接着的20分钟用来按照提纲写作,最后5分钟用来检查及润色。
合理的时间安排是写出优秀作文的必不可少的第一步。
其次,卷面的设置。
要想让阅卷老师对你的作文试卷有一种赏心悦目的感觉,作文的排版应该不多于2/3,不少于1/3,要留有余地,不要将卷面写得密密麻麻。
字体不要过大或过小。
字迹要工整。
段落方面,英语专业四级考试作文的特点决定了作文写法的基本框架为三段论。
俗话说,事不过三,超过了三段后就会让人感到过于繁琐。
并且应当注意的是,每段开头都应该有缩进,留有两个单词的位置。
再次,除了形式之外,作文的内容也尤其重要。
阅卷老师阅卷一般是从第一段看语言,从第二段看结构。
这就要求考生的作文开头部分以及每一段的第一句一定要写得像英文,不要出现任何的拼写或语法错误。
除了语言的地道外,还要求作文有层次感。
可以用一系列表示逻辑关系的连词来表示思路的清晰,如and, however, furthermore, also, what"s more等。
此外,还可以用对等的句式结构,如for one thing, for another;On the one hand, on the other hand等来增加文章的层次感。
总之,议论文对语言的要求主要体现在三个方面:①用恰当的逻辑词表现文章的逻辑性。
②要注意自然段与主题句的运用,即用自然段表现出文章的逻辑性,并在每段中用主题句说明要点,给人一目了然的感觉。
③要注意句型结构,注意每句的重心和句与句之间的衔接,使句意一环扣一环,避免松散。
作文结构及内容
TEM 4作文的体裁以议论文为主,由四个部分组成:标题(title),介绍(introduction),主体(body)和结尾(conclusion)。
作文题目要求中一般包含标题,所以需要考生完成的就只有其余三个部分。
引言段(50 字)话题引入(宏观背景;突发事件) + 众说纷纭+ 我方观点
主体段(100 字)一分为二/三+ 逻辑顺序+ 事实说话(统计数据、正反对比、名人名言、亲身经历、趣闻逸事、调查结果等等)
结论段(50 字)重申主体+ 顺带提醒+ 提出展望/指出意义(一)介绍(introduction)介绍部分是一篇文章的“地图”,用来提纲挈领。
其中第一句的作用是用来说明整段文章的总义和
介绍文章的主题,之后的一至两句则是用来表达考生的个人意见(论点),最后一句通常用来带领进入主体部分。
文章好的开头会引人如胜,激发阅卷老师的阅读兴趣。
一般说来,这一段落不宜太长,要写得简明扼要,主要可以采用以下三种方法:
1.引用法。
文章开头引用名人名言、谚语或有代表性的看法见解来引出文章要展开讨论的一种观点,并明确自己的立场。
[Sample]On Making Friends As a proverb goes,a life without a friend is a life without the sun.It is true that everybody needs friends。
so I find it quite necessary to make friends.
2.现象法。
对于某种社会现象、倾向或社会问题进行剖析的文章通常在文章的开始首先引出这种现象或问题,然后进行评论并提出考生自己的观点。
[Sample]On Children’s Education Chinese families are traditionally known for valuing the education of their children.Most parents are trying to offer their children the best education,regarding it as their most important duty.It seems to me that there are three reasons for this,all of which are concerned with demands of modern life.
3.对立法。
文章开头首先引出人们对要讨论的问题的不同看法,然后提出考生自己的看法,或偏向的那个看法。
此方法多用于有争议性的主题。
[Sample]I Prefer to Live in a Big City Different People have different ideas about where to live.Some people like to live in big cities.Others prefer country life.I think both of the
lives have their advantages and disadvantages.If l am to make a choice,1 will not hesitate to choose the former.
(二)主体(body)主体部分段首通常有一个主题句(topic sentence),用来表示该段的中心思想。
下面是几个常用主题句句型:
1.It is believed that? has the following advantages.
2.? is important in several ways.
3.I side with this view for two reasons.
4.? benefits us in many ways.
接下来的文章应包含二到三个要点,用以支持主题句。
考生可以通过例证、引证、对比、因果论证及反证等方法逐步论述各个要点。
阅卷老师在看文章时也许会通过某些关键性的“标签”来判定你的文章是否结构严谨,条理清晰,因此要在每一个要点前加入表示顺序的词汇,如:to begin with,first and foremost;then,furthermore,besides;finally,last but not least.[Sample]The Importance of Extensive ReadingExtensive reading benefits us in many ways.First of all,by reading extensively。
we can broaden our knowledge.For instance,newspapers and magazines can keep us informed of current events.So it is easy for us to know what is going on in the world today.Secondly,extensive reading helps us improve our reading
comprehension effectively.The more we read,the better we
understand and the faster our reading speed will be.What is more,extensive reading is the best way to enlarge our vocabulary.Due to frequent contact with unfamiliar words,we find it easy to guess the meaning of them even without referring to the dictionary.W e can often find context clues for new words.
(三)结尾(conclusion)结尾部分的开始通常会用一个特别结论句式,如:in general,to sum up,to conclude,all in all等等。
在200词的文章中,这一部分不宜篇幅过长,最好用一两句话来总结全文,使其前后呼应。
除非只是一个次要观点,否则不要在这段内提出任何新见解,但如果题目要求的话,考生也可以在结论上提出相应的建议、推荐、介绍和解决方法。
四、检查一篇成功的作文少不了反复推敲、一再修改。
然而,由于考试时间和条件等诸多因素的限制,考生要警惕检查作文时的三大“通病”,即,数字数、孤芳自赏、和做结构与内容上大的修改。
必须明确,考试作文的润色和修改只需要达到以下几个目的:拼写正确;用词准确,尤其是名词、动词、形容词、冠词和介词;语法正确,特别是人称、时态、和单复数的三“一致”;正确使用过度性词汇,从而使句子之间以及段落之间都具有逻辑性和条理性。
在应试准备中,策略固然重要,还需要扎实的语言基础和写作的专门知识。
提醒广大考生,在平时的学习中还应多读、多练、多总结,这样才有利于写作水平的日益提高。
1. 标题(若已给标题则照用,无则提供;要首字母大写)
2. 三段论,篇幅安排,introduction与conclusion篇幅相当。
3. 正式写作中尽量用正式、客观的语言表达,避免口语化:如少用问句和祈使句;少
用第一二人称;不用well, then, just等口语化的插入语;词语不用缩写(如can’t, shouldn’t, isn’t, she’s);不用also, but, and, so, or等连词开始句子,可以用相应副词代替表达;多用语意具体的动词,不用“万金油”动词如do, make, have;不用cliche即过时的表达法(如every coin?)或难懂的专业术语;不用太多短句,句子长度适中;不用语意冗长累赘的词语或句子,尽量遵循语言经济原则;标点符号(分号);该断句的时候要断句;用近/同义词,使表达不枯燥;不说空洞的话,如we should?we should?。
4. Transitional signals
5. 语法!
6. 整体格式,包括段落之间、顶格与否等。
高分标准:书写工整语法规范词汇丰富句式多变衔接自然结构完整
便条的写作
便条是一种简单的书信形式。
要求学生仔细阅读和分析所给的情景,确定便条所涉及的内容,如写便条者与便条接收者的身份、两者之间的关系及情景的正式程度等。
便条的特点在于内容简短,大多是临时性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。
与正规书信相比,便条的语言更为口语化。
有急事需告诉别人而又不能面谈时,就
可以写便条,如请假条、留言条等。
一般不写地址,与普通书信基本相同。
结尾时也无需要结尾礼词,只需要写上便条者姓名。
便条的日期一般只要写上星期几,也可以写明上午、下午的具体时间。
便条具有用途广泛、形式简单、文字要求不十分严格的特点。
其他参考:。
