1990 – 2011 (TEM4WRITNG)历年英语专业四级作文真题及范文汇总2011—COMPOSITION: Recently government agencies in some big cities have been studying the possibility of putting a "pollution tax" on private cars. The amount of tax private car owners would have to pay would depend on the emission levels, i.e. engine or vehicle size. This has caused quite a stir among the public. Some regard it as an effective way to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. But others don't think so. What is your opinion?Should Private Car Owners be Taxed for Pollution?(200 words)One possible version: Should Private Car Owners be Taxed for Pollution?With the development of society, many people can afford a car. As the number of the cars is rising, we are facing some problems. One big problem is the pollution caused by the use of cars. In order to solve the problem, government agencies in some big cities recently suggest that a “pollution tax” should be put on private cars to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint, and my reasons are as follows: Firstly, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, lots of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is the responsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose of collecting environmental pollution tax is to raise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue lever to protect our environment.Secondly, it is a good way to raise people’s environmental awareness by putting a pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss when making a decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they will consider more when deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the private cars can be controlled.In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private car owners, should try their best to protect the environment.NOTE-WRITING: During the summer vacation you would like to invite your best friend to your home town.Write a note to him/her, extending your invitation and telling him/her how to get to your hometown. (50-60 words )One possible version:Dear my friend,The summer vacation is coming next month. I hope you will visit our home town and stay with us. It's beautiful here with everything in bloom now. If possible, you can come here by the train No. 1010, which will arrive here at 18:00.I am looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible.Sincerely yours,Sally 2010—COMPOSITION: It was recently reported in a newspaper that six students who shared a dorm at a university hired a cleaner to do laundry and cleaning once a week. And each of them paid her 60 yuan a month. This has led to a heated debate as to whether college students should hire cleaners. Should College Students Hire Cleaners?(200 words)One possible version: Should College Students Hire Cleaners?It’s a popular phenomenon nowadays that college students would hire cleaners to help do the laundry and clean their dormitories, which has sparked a heated debate among students, parents and teachers. In my point of view, such practice should not be encouraged on campus.To begin with, college students should have the capacity for the basic laundry and cleaning work. Doing family chores is a simple way to cultivate independence. If college students can’t even do the most basic things in their life, how c an they handle big challenges under pressure in the future? In addition, college students should feel shamed of disposing of their parents’ hard-earned money in this way. Since a large proportion of their living expenses and tuition are covered by their parents, hiring cleaners could be considered a waste of money. Finally, I do not agree with those who claim they hire cleaners for the sake of either study or saving time. This is a mere excuse for their sloth and overreliance.In summary, hiring cleaners should be discouraged on campus, where students are supposed to cultivate a sense of responsibility and independence rather than become lazy parasites.NOTE-WRITING: Your good friend, John, is thinking of organizing an end-of-the-term party. Write him a note telling him that you like his idea and offer to help him. You have to be specific about how you can help him.(50-60 words )One possible version:Dear John,,As a close friend of you, I really love your idea of organizing an end-of-the-semester party. W hat a great idea! It’s my pleasure to give some help if necessary. Firstly, I would like to attend the celebration and share our joy. Secondly, I wish to hold a small musical soiree, at which a band of mine will perform some works by Bach and Strauss. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Mike2009—COMPOSITION: Tourism is a booming business in China. However, some people worry that too many tourists may bring harm to the environment, while others don't think so.What is your opinion? Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment? (200 words)One possible version: Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China. Many people believe that tourism produce positive effects on economic growth and we should try our best to promote tourism. But what these people fail to see is that tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on our environment. As for me, I’m firmly convinced that too much tourists bring harm to the environment.The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itself in various ways. One way is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot. In order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on the environment. This process usually breaks the ecological balance of the area. In some mountainous places, trees are being cut down to build hotels for others to see and explore the beauty of the mountains. Then land slides and mud-rock flows come up. Another way the development of tourism has damaged the environment occurs when tourists go to scenic spots. Some tourists don’t have the awareness to protect the environment, and ignorantly throw their garbage here and there. Some people even kill the local wildlife to eat, which badly damages the balance of the natural environment.It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of tourism. We must keep in mind that too much tourists bring harm to the environment. We need to find a balance between satisfying the needs of tourists and reducing to a minimum the pollution they cause.NOTE-WRITING: Lily, your roommate, is looking for a part-time job in the coming summer vacation. You saw an ad for a private English tutor for a schoolboy. Write her a note, telling her what the job is and strongly recommending it to her. (50-60 words )One possible version:Dear Lily,I know you're looking for a part-time job. I just saw an ad about private English tutor fora schoolboy. Your English is excellent and you're patient with children. That's a good job for you. Plus the boy lives near our campus, so do consider this. It's a good chance to make money andgain experience.Yours,Sally 2008—COMPOSITION: December 5th is International V olunteers Day. Since 1985, when the United Nations announced the special day, tens of millions of people around the world have volunteered to help those in need.China now has 4.5 million registered volunteers who have provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. What can you gain from volunteering?The Benefits of Volunteering(200 words) One possible version: The Benefits of V olunteeringV olunteering has grown into a fashion these years, with volunteers ranging from college students to white collar workers.I'm more than glad to see that an increasing number of people are willing to help the people in need. And I firmly believe that volunteering can enhance their ability to tackle problems.As we can see, thousands of college students are flocking to rural areas as temporary teachers. There is no doubt that tons of problems are awaiting: lack of food, poor living conditions, etc. So, they need to take great pains to overcome the problems. For example, they have to get used to the simple food with strong will-power, and prepare lessons in poor light. What's more, students there might not cooperate with them well, so they have to figure out a way to interest them, get them involved so as to teach them more effectively. It must be extremely hard for the volunteers to fit in at the beginning, but as they accumulate more experience, they will work out problems successfully.To sum up, volunteering will not only help those in need, but also enhance volunteers' capability when they face difficulties. So, put on your coat, pick up your bag, and go volunteering!NOTE-WRITING: Jane, your classmate, is thinking of subscribing to an English-language newspaper. And you would like to recommend one to her. Write a note, telling her which newspaper it is and describing two features of the paper.(50-60 words )One possible version:Dear Jane,I heard that you'd like to subscribe to a newspaper and I strongly recommend English Corner. I have been reading it for two years and I find it has two main features. Firstly, it covers a variety of themes: entertainment, education and sports, to name but a few. Secondly, it is written by native speakers, which means the English is authentic. So, I do think English Corner is a good choice.Yours,Ann2007—COMPOSITION: Nowadays the Internet has become part of people's life, and million of young people have made friends online.Is It Wise to Make Friends Online(200 words)One possible version: Is It Wise to Make Friends OnlineCurrently the public has paid great attention to the debate concerning whether it is wise or not to make friends online. Taking all the favorable and unfavorable aspects into account, I stand firmly on the side that we can benefit from making friends online. This point ofperspectivecan be explained in the following tangible reasons.Firstly, communication is unquestionably regarded as an extremely important element in our society. Unfortunately, there are people around us appear to be apathetic and have no idea about how to make an acquaintance with a stranger. They may be too shy or they are afraid of being refused by others. But remember no man is an island entire of itself, every man is a part of the continent. As a consequence, regardless of the fact that whether you like it or not, as individuals, we have to be part of the main. And, internet, as a mass medium, provides us with a chance. Things turn to be quite different because sitting in front of the computer screen, people who are scared to make friends online can talk with others more naturally. Secondly, it is well acknowledged that we can learn a lot from our e-pals. If our friend online were a foreigner, we can practice English with him or her. What’s more, we can have a glimpse of general information of another country,such as the culture, the tradition, the custom or the geography.From what have mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that making friends online can do us some good. And communication online is having a greater impact on our daily life.NOTE-WRITING: Your classmate, Jimmy, is head of the university’s swimming club. He has invited you to join the club, but you like some other sport. Write him a note, declining his invitation and explaining why.(50-60 words )One possible version:Dear Jimmy,Thank you so much for inviting me to the swimming club. I really appreciate that. It would begreat joy to swim on hot days, but I'm afraid I have accepted the invitation from the Judo club. I'vebeen practicing Judo for several years, and I don't want to quit the sport. Thank you again for yourinvitation. I may introduce a friend of mine to you if you are interested. He's really into swimming.Yours,Mike 2006—COMPOSITION: Recently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students in Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi'an Chengdu, Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing, and Shenyang. The results have shown that 67 percent of students think that saving money is a good habit while the rest believe that using tomorrow's money today is better, what do you think? (200 words)One possible version: My Idea of Saving MoneyA recent survey, carried out by a Beijing-based information company, has shown that two thirds of the Chinese college students today favor the idea of saving money for later use, whereas quite many others deem it much better to use tomorrow’s money today. Personally, I side with the former.Firstly, saving money can relieve one’s anxiety in case of accidents, disease or other mishaps. As we all know, when one faces such tragedies as fir damage or fatal disease, one would need a large amount of money to survive such difficulties. Secondly, saving money can give one a sense of fulfillment. Since most people work hard every day, they will be quiet happy and satisfied with his “achievement” when they find they have accumulated a large deposit in the bank. Thirdly, saving money allows one to give a helping hand to others. With money available at the moment, one can offer badly needed help to those in temporary difficulty, say, those who are suffering from flood, famine, a car accident, or things like that. Yet taking a loan from a bank is often too costly. Thus, the timely help will be rewarded with gratitude. A dependable friendship will eventually be fostered.To sum up, saving money does have many advantages. Indeed, it is an important aspect of the Chinese conception of virtue. Therefore, let’s start saving money from today on. NOTE-WRITING: You have got to know that your classmate, Michael, is organizing a weekend excursion for the class. And you are thinking of joining the trip: Write him a note expressing your interest in the excursion and asking for the information on two details related to the excursion. (50-60 words )One possible version:Dear Michael,I'm so happy to learn you're planning a weekend excursion for our class. I'm eager to join the short journey. Could you tell me more about the journey such as when it will be and where we are going so that I can make preparations ahead of time?I'll be looking forward to your reply. Thanks in advance.Yours,Mike 2005—COMPOSITION: The students' Union of your university is planning to hold an arts festival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.My Idea of a University Arts Festival(200 words)One possible version: My Idea of a University Arts FestivalWith merely four months to go before the arts festival starts, my fellow students are getting increasingly enthusiastic in brainstorming for the significant event. While in my opinion typical activities such as performances, forums and lectures on art should be taken into consideration.The festival itself is an image-creating undertaking. Students should be attracted to thefestival at the first glimpse, so the opening ceremony must be of vital importance. Fascinating performances, for instance, pop music, ballet dancing and instrument playing ought to be put on in this section and if possible an orchestra can be invited to add spice to the ceremony. Certainly only performances are too superficial. To help students take a deeper insight of arts, forums and lectures must be held. Forums can be held through BBS owning to the wide accessibility to Internet, whereas professors and experts can be invited to give lectures concerning basic knowledge of art and the role that art plays in daily life. However, prior to all the above, professional organization, detailed plans and effective promulgation are needed to promise a success.A university arts festival, in brief, must embrace rich content and careful preparation. Only then can it be successful and can everyone enjoy himself.NOTE-WRITING: You have got two tickets to a concert given by a famous pop band/orchestra. Write a note to your friend, Hilda/Mike, describing briefly what it is and inviting her/him to come with you.(50-60 words )One possible version:Dear Hilda,I got two tickets for the Qi Qin & Qi Yu concert, which will be held at the Workers Stadium at 7:30 p.m. this coming Friday. They will bring with them the songs from their best albums and also some songs especially for fans in Beijing. I know you’re a big fan of them. Would you like to go with me? Please let me know by calling me up at the dorm.Yourssincerely,Mike 2004—COMPOSITION: Nowadays young people tend to phone more often than write to each other. So, some say that phones will kill letter writing. What is your opinion? Will Phones Kill Letter Writing?(150 words)One possible version: Will Phones Kill Letter Writing?Nowadays young people choose to phone each other rather writing letters. But even if so, I maintain that letter writing will never be killed by phones, though we have stepped into the Information Age.First, letters can express your subtle feelings. With the increase of the living pace of modern society, we find that there is a lack of communication now. Sometimes when you are speaking to someone that you care and love on the phone, you are so shy that it’s too hard to express any of your feelings towards him/her. Your throat seems to be blocked! At this time, letters will help. Without any embarrassment, you can just write down your deep concern and love on a piece of paper. When you drop the letter into the pillar-box, you will feel what he/she will receive is not only a letter, but also your deepest love. Secondly, letters can be kept as a record of memory, while phones cannot. Just imagine, when you open an old box of letters and read them years later, a lot of beautiful and indelible memories will be brought back to you. What an irreplaceable feeling it is! And I believe, this feeling is something that you can definitely never experience through several phone calls.All in all, letter writing will absolutely survive and even thrive in the Information Age. Phones can never kill it, neither will anything.NOTE-WRITING: Your friend, Jane, has failed in the final exam, and is feeling very unhappy about it. Write a note to comfort her and give her some encouragement. (50-60 words )One possible version:Dear Jane,I was sorry to learn that you had not been successful in the final exam. Although I’m sending my sympathy, I feel you ought not to feel too much distressed for this frustration. The result is totally out of expectation. Everyone knows you are always working hard and you have made full use of the time. I’m confident that you will succeed in the make-up examination next week.Yourssincerely,Mike 2003—COMPOSITION: People in modern society live under a lot of pressure, from education, career, or family. So it is important for them to keep a good mood under whatever circumstances.The Importance of Keeping a Good Mood(150 words)One possible version: The Importance of Keeping a Good MoodModern people endure a lot of pressure, from education,career, or family. However, not all people can manage to tide them over. There areoften reports of someone going insane or committing suicide. Thoseunfortunate people are not intelligently poor. Yet they were doomed only becausethey suffered troubled minds. From their experiences, I wouldargue that keeping a good mood is all too important.Living in a good mood under whatsoever circumstances is important in at leasttwo ways. For one thing, it can help one foster friendly interpersonal relation.Instead of treating colleagues or classmates as rivals or opponents, one will try tocooperate with them and benefit from them. One willwork harder to keep paces withothers or surpass them rather than complaining or get consumed by jealousy all thetime. For another, a good mood can help one put disappointments and frustrations inthe right perspective. Thinking that failure is the mother of success, one can well survive the temporary blows and look forward to the bright future. Both friendshipand optimism derived from keeping a good mood or mentality are effective outlets forpressures whatsoever.Thus, we need not only to build a strong body but also keep a good mood inorder to face the pressures or challenges of modern society. While most people areaware of the importance of the former, quite a proportion of people fail to recognizethe significance of the latter. NOTE-WRITING: Your friend Clare has invited you to her house-warming party this weekend. However, you will be away then. Write her a note politely declining her invitation and expressing your best wishes to her. (50-60 words )One possible version:Dear Clare,I’d like to express my sincere congratulations on your moving into a new house and thanks for your gracious invitation to your house-warming party this weekend. But I’m sorry that I won’t be able to attend the party because I will be in Shanghai at that time. I do hope you don’t mind and wish the party a great one.Yours,Jane 2002—COMPOSITION: Nowadays people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of health. And they have different ways to stay healthy. For example, some exercise every day; others try to keep a balanced diet. What do you think is the best way to stay healthy?The Best Way to Stay Healthy (150 words)One possible version: The Best Way to Stay HealthyNowadays people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of health. And they have different ways to stay healthy. For example, For my part, the best way to stay healthy is the combination of proper physical exercise and a balanced diet.Both physical exercise and a proper diet are essential to health. For one thing, physical exe rcise not only builds a person’s body, but also helps to reduce his or her unnecessary fat. Indeed, this is very important since the redundancy of fat has been medically proved to be a cause of various diseases, some of which are even fatal.For another, a balanced diet can provide a person with the right kind and amount of nutrition required for the operation of our organs. As we know, a multitude of elements are effective in keeping our body running properly. A deficiency in any of them will result in some dysfunction. Yet a balanced diet may prevent this from happening.All in all, I believe the best way to keep fit is talking proper physical exercise plus staying on a balanced diet. Neither is dispensable if we are to enjoy sustainable health. NOTE-WRITING: You have heard that your friend, Jack, wishes to sell his walkman. Write him a note expressing your interest in it, asking him about its condition and offering a price for it. (50-60 words )One possible version: Dear Jack,I’ve heard that you would sell your walkman. You know, I want to buy a used walkman so as to do some English listening exercises. I want to know if your walkman functions very well. If it does, I’d like to offer you 100 yuan for it. Please give me some detailed information about it as soon as possible.Yours,Sally 2001—COMPOSITION: Travel has become part of our life. And more and more of us have come to know the significance of travel through our own experience: Travel Broadens the Mind (150 words)One possible version: Travel Broadens the MindNowadays, 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 whichmay not be reached previously, but also relaxes the m physically, which help people workOne of my best friends is so exclusively engaged in his works that he did not even know what was happen ing out of his own discipline. What’s worse, his progress was nearly little. After accepting my advice, he traveled a few cities and towns. The experience gave him a good opportunity of learning. Today, he gets a bumper harvest in his knowledge—thelongstaIn 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.NOTE-WRITING: Yesterday you failed to turn up for the appointment with your teacher, Professor Wang. Write him a note of apology and make a request for another meeting. You should also suggest the time 4 for the requested meeting.(50-60 words )One possible version:Dear Professor Wang,I’m deepl y sorry that I was unable to keep my engagement to meet you. I fear you aredispleased at my failing to keep my promise, but I hope you will forgive me, for my motherI kn ow you’re very busy these days, but I wonder if you could arrange for another appointment me. I look forward to your early reply.Sincerely yours,Mike 2000—COMPOSITION: College life should be varied and colorful. And extracurricularactivities 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(150 words)One possible version: The Importance of ExtracurricularPeople have different ideas about how students should spend their school days. Some believe students should spend the whole day on academic studies. Others believe extracurricular activities should be a required part of everyday. 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 well. But I don’t think we should spend every minute on academic study. A proverb says, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Without good health, how can we improve our study efficiency? Besides, spending the whole day studying may make us exhausted. We should find other meaningful things to do. For example, doing extracurricular activities can make students’ life more colorful and beneficial. There are various forms of exercise. Football is my favorite. I play football with my classmates for one hour every afternoon. By playing foot ball I’ve got both joy and strength. I always lookenergetic.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 asextracurricular activities. So I suggest that students do extracurricular activities alongwithNOTE-WRITING: You’ve read on the notice board that the university library is looking for a part time library assistant who can work at weekends. You think that your classmate, George, is a suitable person for this vacancy. Write him a note, telling him what you know about the vacancy and trying to persuade him to go for an interview. (50-60 words )One possible version:Dear George,I have read on the notice board that the university is looking for a part-time library assistance who can work at weekends. I think you are the suitable person for this vacancy, for you are free at weekends and it pays well, yet the job is not difficult. It is also a good chance to improve you. So you shouldgo for an interview.Yours,Mike 1999—COMPOSITION: We see advertisements on television everyday. Some people think that TV advertising brings us benefits, but others don't think so. What is your opinion?A Major Advantage/ Disadvantage of Advertising on Television (150 words) One possible version: A Major Disadvantage of Advertising on Television With the development of advertising, our television programs are flooded with numerous advertisements every day. In my opinion, advertising on television is a negative force in society because they create all kinds of impossible fantasies and they are often dishonest and offensive.In the first place, ads always show happy, rich people, and they make life look easy. However, life is not always easy; on the contrary, it is often very difficult. Not all people live in big and beautiful houses and dress in fashionable clothes. Advertising gives the audience an untruthful picture of reality; therefore, it acts as a distorted social mirror.Secondly, television programs are constantly interrupted by ads, which is annoying and offensive to the majority of audience. If TV stations need money, can’t they come up with better ways instead of advertising?All in all, advertisement on television is a form of pollution. They invade our visual space and they are a great nuisance.NOTE-WRITING: You’ve learned that your friend Jimmy is ill these days. Write him a note expressing your concern, asking after his health and giving your best wishes. (50-60 words )One possible version:Dear Jimmy,I’m sorry to learn the bad news that you are ill these days. How are you feeling now? I can imagine your pain of the disease. Take good care of yourself. We all know that you are very strong-willed an d will be alright soon. I’ll visit you sometime tomorrow. I wish you early recovery.Yours truly,Mike 1998—COMPOSITION: It is now generally accepted that vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) are a major source of air pollution in cities. Your are to suggest only ONE way to solve the problem.One Way to Solve the Problem (150 words)One possible version: One Way to Solve the ProblemWe all know that vehicles are the major source of air pollution in cities. To solve the headache, people have taken a variety of steps, but the result is not satisfying. Here, one way to solve the problem is to set gas thriftier in vehicle.Setting gas thriftier in vehicle not only decreases the consumption of gas which is a major source of air pollution but also slows down the cost of possessing a vehicle which makes millaye price lower. Thereby, all vehicles set gas thriftier will make air have a lower carbon dioxide content deriving from burning gas and coal. The less carbon dioxide, the less。

2002The best way to stay healthyNowadays, the desire for good health is universal. Wherever you do, staying healthy is always important. Different people come up with different views. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology.To begin with, keeping a good quality of psychology can reduce the pains. According to some surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally ill. The burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others, so they can’t step out of the shadow of depression and sadness. They need to release their spirits to the nature. Besides, if you have developed a good quality of psychology, you’ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society.Enrolling for some keep-fit clubs or joining some travel agency, which by themselves are various versions of physical exercises, will benefit you a lot. As a poem says, youth is not a period of time; it’s a state of mind. Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living.Keeping a good quality of mind and keeping a sense of humor are really good. Even if you are 80, you’ll never be old.2003The importance of keeping a good moodWith the development of modern science, technology and economics, our living standard has reached an ever higher level. But more and more people are living under greater pressure than ever before. As a consequence, people are increasingly suffering from various distortions both physically and mentally. To help out, it is important that everyone keep a good mood today.There are several reasons for my arguments. First, a good mood can create high efficiency. When you work with a good mood, you will feel happy and be willing to do some work which used to be boring. On the contrary, a bad mood can make you passive and do things with reluctance. Second, a good mood is beneficial to your health. If you fail to keep a good mood, you will be feeling depressed and fed up, which is apt to(倾向于) cause some psychological diseases. Third, when you have a good mood, other people around you will be influenced. Thus more and more people will feel happy to communicate with you.To sum up, keeping a good is very important both for yourself and for the people around you. If you want to have a happy and successful life, please keep a good mood every day.2004Will phone kill letter writing?Telephone is said to be one of the greatest inventions of the world, which has revolutionized people’s way of life. Although more and more people nowadays tend to phone more than write letters, I still don’t believe phone will kill letter writing in people’s daily communication.People communicate for different purposes and in different ways. Letters, though traditional in a way, help people express their ideas in a more exact way. Without the careless tough slips of telephone conversation, writing letters would not cause the same unnecessary embarrassment as that in the case of telephone conservation. More importantly, it is long held that “To see is to believe.”And communication in written form is considered to be more formal than that done orally. Therefore, letters are always the preferred way of communication when it comes to formal occasions like job application, nailing down a contract or travelling information confirmation. It is not entirely groundless to say that letters are still indispensable nowadays.In a word, letters have their unique features to satisfy certain communication purposes and will therefore never be replaced by phones in people’s daily life. It’s perhaps more appropriate to say that they supplement each other instead of replacing each other.2005My idea of university arts festivalUniversity arts festival has always been a big occasion to display students’ talent in art as well as to cultivate their artistic taste. Therefore, to make the incoming arts festival more fruitful, I personally think it should include two parts: one is to organize some art activities among students such as singing, painting, photography, recitation or short play contests, and the other is to invite all kinds of art troupes to campus to stage excellent performances of ballet, orchestra or drama for our students.As regards why university arts festival should be organized in this way, there are mainly two reasons: to develop students’artistic potential and to enhance their aesthetic ability. By participating in art contests, students not only have a golden opportunity to show their special gift for art but also undergo sort of training through preparation, rehearsal and get involved in art activities and help bring out the best of them in this aspect. Professional performance groups, on the other hand, bring students an artistic feast, which is not readily accessible to them in normal times. Such an intimate contact with real art enables students to understand art better and appreciate it properly, which will refine their artistic taste in the long run.Since my idea of arts festival integrates training students’ artistic ability with improving their aesthetic taste, I believe it will go a long way in art education, which is also the ultimate aim of university art festival.2006…saving money is a good habit while the rest believe that using tomorrow’s money today is better.Recently the result of a survey conducted by a Beijing information company has shown that the majority of Chinese students think that saving money is a good habit while the rest prefer to use tomorrow’s money. As is seen to me, the principle of “hard work and thrift” is still at work in China, and I absolutely believe that we will profit more from saving money than from spending tomorrow’s money.Through saving money, we’ll be better prepared for our life. There is an old saying that “apenny saved is penny earned”. In modern society, life is so changeable that we can’t prepared for unexpected emergencies. What’s more, psychologically speaking saving money means controlling money rather than being controlled by money., and it enables us to be free and more independent. With the money we’ve saved, we don’t need to be too much concerned about the old age or the monthly installment that we owe to the bank.Of course I don’t mean that we cannot loan money to buy a house or for some enjoyment. What I’m saying is that we must think twice before spending tomorrow’s money. To put it in a nutshell(简括地说), I am a great believer that saving money is a good habit.2007Is it wise to make friends online?Is it wise to make friends online? People’s views about this issue vary from one to another. Some people think that it is unwise to make friends online while others think that there is nothing wrong with online friends. In my point of view, although online friends cannot be always trusted, the benefits far outweigh the risks. The reasons are mainly as follow:First of all, it is easy and quick to get know people and make new friends online. We know friends are indispensable in our daily life but they cannot stay with us wherever we go. For many people, especially college freshmen, leaving friends and the security of home for a new place where they don’t know anyone can be overwhelming. With some online chatting tools such as QQ and MSN, they can talk to people they like and find people with common interests easily. In addition, online friends can help broaden our knowledge about different cultures and customs. Chatting with people from different places and social backgrounds is surely an effective way to understand other cultures and develop cross-cultural communication skills. We can also practice our English in speaking and writing.To sum up, making friends online is amazing. In the online global community we can enjoy an active social life with rewarding experiences, so it is wise to make online friends.2008The benefits of volunteeringV olunteering means being willing to help people in need and make contributions to society for no financial rewards. Needless to say, volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those in need and the society. Y et, despite the fact that volunteers are not paid for what they have done, serving as a volunteer, I believe, is also beneficial to the volunteers themselves.First, volunteering helps volunteers improve their interpersonal skills. They can understand people better and have better skills to motivate others and to deal with difficult situations in collaboration with people of different personalities in their volunteering work.Besides, volunteering serves as a good opportunity for volunteers to apply their know ledge to practical problems. This is especially useful for student volunteers. For instance, student volunteering to assist foreign guests on big occasions like Canton Fair can not only practice their oral English, but also have hand experience on the latest development of their field.Finally, volunteering satisfies one’s psychological need for respect and self-fulfillment, and it gives the volunteer a sense of achievement.In a word, volunteering helps to improve one’s interpersonal skills, apply one’s knowledge to practice, and give the volunteer a sense of self-fulfillment. It is of great benefit to the society, but it benefits the volunteer even greater.2009Will tourism bring harm to the environment?In recent years, China has witnessed rapid growth in tourism. It is true that tourism can play an important role in booming the national economy, but I am afraid that too much tourism may cause grave harm or bring about risks and diseases to the environment.There are many ways in which tourism brings about bad effects to the environment. One of the examples is that in order to attract tourists, large patches of woods were eliminated to built accommodation facilities as well as artificial scenic spots. This unavoidably destroys the natural beauty of the scenic spots. Worse still, it breaks the ecological balance of these areas, resulting in the shortage of farm land, water and animals. Moreover, with large numbers of tourists flooding into the scenic spots every year, they have produced all kinds of garbage everywhere, placing much pressure on environment protection.All in all, too much tourism brings harm to the environment in many ways. So it is unwise to sacrifice the environment for the unreasonably rapid growth of tourism, and there should be a balance between tourism development and environment protection.2010Should college students hire cleaners?Should college students hire cleaners? Students’ views in this issue vary one to another. Some students think that it is reasonable to hire cleaners for laundry and dorm cleaning while others hold that hiring cleaners does harm to the college students. In my point of view, although there are some conveniences of hiring cleaners, the losses far outweigh the benefits. The reasons are mainly as follows:First of all, students lose the opportunities to enhance their unity and friendship. Friends are indispensable in college life, especially for freshmen. It is a chance for them to develop friendship and teamwork when they clean dorms together and do laundry together. With the joy of working for their own surroundings, they can appreciate college life better. In addition, students become more independent by taking care of their own lives. Doing laundry or cleaning dorms is surely an effective way to learn how to keep a balance between study and the rest and how to arrange schedule properly.To sum up, hiring cleaners is unnecessary. On campus, students can enjoy a colorful and independent life by doing their own chores, so it is wise not to hire cleaners.2011Should private car owners be taxed for pollution?In recent years, China has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of private cars, whichhas inevitably worsened the state of air pollution. Confronted with this problem, government agencies in some big cities have been considering taxing private car owners for pollution. This issue has given rise to a heated discussion. For my part, I’m all for the idea of a pollution tax.In the first place, private car owners should pay for the harm they do to the environment. It is an accepted fact that the environment has suffered greatly from car emissions, which partly account for deteriorating air quality, acid rain, and even global warming. Therefore, it is quite reasonable for private car owners to pay a polluting tax, if they insist on using a private car. Furthermore, with this tax, the government will hopefully curb the soaring number of private cars. For instance, given strict policies like this, some people may have to put aside the plan of buying a car. In addition, such a tax serves as a warning of the grave situation of air pollution, which will then help raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.To sum up, the pollution tax will be of great benefit in the long run. If strictly enforced, this policy will sure contribute to the protection of our environment.。

大作文历年真题2011Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:Should Private Car Owners Be Taxed for Pollution?范文Should Private Car Owners Be Taxed for Pollution?With the development of society, many people can afford a car. As the number of the cars is rising, we are facing some problems. One big problem is the pollution caused by the use of cares. In order to solve this problem, government agencies in some big cities recently suggest that a "pollution tax" should be put on private cars in order to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint, and my reasons are as follows:To begin with, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, a lot of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is the responsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose of collecting environmental pollution tax is to raise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue lever to protect our environment.Secondly, it is a good way to raise people's environmental awareness by putting a pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss when making a decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they will consider more when deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the private cars can be controlled.In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private car owners, should try their best to protect the environment.2010It is recently reported in a newspaper that six students who shared a dorm at a local university hired a cleaner to do laundry and cleaning once a week. And each of them paid her 60 Yuan a month. This has led to a heated debate as to whether college students should hire cleaners.Write ANSWER SHEET THREE a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:Should College Students Hire Cleaners?2010 范文: (Yes/No)Should College Students Hire Cleaners?According to a recent report, six university students hired cleaners to clean their dorm and do their laundry every week. Although we have no right to tell them what to do with their money, as a university student myself, I find this practice absurd.For a start, away from our parents, it is in university that we learn to be independent adults. Cleaning the room and doing one's laundry are the most basic living skills. If we always depend on others do take care of us, how can we survive when there is no one to help us? How can we take on any responsibility when we step into society?For another, the practice reflects their flippant attitude towards money. The money they paid for the cleaners probably comes from their parents, who must be very depressed once they know the truth. It also sets a very bad precedent on campus. Other students may follow suit to show the wealth of their families; or worse, they tend to think money can buy them anything in this world, which obviously is wrong.All in all, I think we must do away with this practice. Otherwise, we may never appreciate the good value of money and an independent way of life. The better and sooner we can take care of us, the more proud our parents will be.2009Tourism is a booming business in China. However, some people worry that too many tourists may bring harm to the environment to the environment, while others don’t think so. What is your opinion?Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?2009范文: (Yes/No)Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?Tourism is a booming industry in china. With many travelers flocking to different destination around china, tourism is becoming one of the most liable business markets. However, air travel, car travel, and other 8 means of tourism are adding to china’s pollution crisis and this is becoming a problem. As far as I am concerned, tourism will bring harm to the environment.For one thing, thousands of people visiting an area can cause more pollution. With so many visitors crowding there, there is an increasing demand or different means of transportation including cars, buses etc., which will emit more waste gases. Since exhaust released by automobiles is one of the main reasons causing air pollution, the booming tourism will surely result in more pollution. For another, many people who visit an area are sometimes careless in their behaviors. They leave food, plastic bags, and bottles behind. They harm plants, animals and objects important to the local culture but those on holiday often do not know the damage they cause.Polluted environment is really a pressing problem nowadays. Tourism is one of the main reasons that cause pollution. Therefore, some actions need to be taken to curb the development of tourism. For example, environmental levies should be placed on services and goods that visitors buy. Voluntary schemes should be encouraged. Driving should be discouraged through parking charges.2008December 5th is International Volunteers day. Since 1985, when the United Nations announced the special day, tens of millions of people around the world have volunteered to help those in need. China now has 4.5 million registered volunteers who have provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. What can you gain from volunteering?Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:The Benefits for Volunteering2008范文: (自由发挥)The Benefits for VolunteeringAs we all know, volunteering has a meaningful and positive impact on the community you serve and the people you help. In the meantime, it can have many benefits for you, too. In my opinion, there are two reasons to volunteer: to feel good about yourself while helping others and to build you portfolio.On one hand, volunteering makes you feel good about yourself on a purely selfish level. There are few things more satisfying than helping people. Hammering nails on a new home while the owner beams with pride right next to you is an amazing feeling. Walking or running to raise funds for a cause close to your heart helps to give you a sense of purpose and helps you realize just how lucky you are. As a volunteer, you will gain new perspective, for it’s so easy for us to get a little too wrapped up in our own lives. On the other hand, from a professional standpoint, volunteering is a great way to add to your portfolio. This is especially beneficial for students or young professionals, although all of us should continually work on building our portfolios.Apart from the benefits of building up your confidence and making your portfolio better, there are probably many other benefits you will find in your volunteer work. So it is time for you to participate in more volunteer work to help others as well as help yourselves.2007Nowadays, the internet has become part of people’s life, and millions of young people have made friends online.Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?2007范文: (Yes/No)Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?a.With the development of information technology, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. So making a friend online is more common than ever before. Developing friendship with a person online won’t be harmful. But to fall in love with a person online is not wise.On one hand, if just developing friendship, we can take it easy. Some students regard chatting online with a stranger as a waste of time. To some degree, it is right. But we can get some fun when doing this, especially when we are depressed, because we won’t have to care about what to say. We can just complain or do something else. On the other hand, it is not wise to start a relationship with a person online. All things on the internet are unknown. You can’t even tell the gender when chatting with a person. So developing love with a person who is a stranger is just a daydream. Though there are also successful examples, most fail. People, especially students, should be cautious about developing love with a person online.A perso n online can be a friend who shares your happiness and sorrow. But don’t fall in love with him or her. Above all, safety is the most important thing.b."Have you got a QQ?" This question is often heard among youngsters today. Making friends online has become a common scene these days. It is so popular that a person who does not chat on the internet is viewed as an odd man. This phenomenon has aroused great worries among parents and teachers. I do understand these parents and teachers because making friends online does harm to the youngsters in many ways.There are two reasons supporting my point of view. For one thing, it is dangerous to chat on the internet. Many violent and sexual rubbishes filled the internet and a lot of people use disguising names, such as "a murder", "romance one night". Moreover, some people even use the name opposite to their real genders in order to mislead the young people. For another, making friends online may cause communication failure. Youngsters have no time or nointentions to talk to their parents about what has confused them. And therefore, they cannot get along well with people around them.From the above two reasons, I can safely arrive at a conclusion that making friends online is not wise for the young people. I hope they are able to deal with this problem more consciously and carefully.c.Internet, as one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century, has greatly changed our life. Nowadays, more and more young people have many friends online, which, as far as I am concerned, has more benefits than negative efforts.Firstly, Internet enlarges our circle of friends considerably. No other ways of communication enable us to makes friends all around the world as easily as Internet does. As long as we can speak English or other foreign languages, we are able to chat with Americans, Japanese as well as European people, and therefore, to broaden our views by exposing ourselves to various cultures and experiences. Apart from that, we tend to be more honest and straightforward when we make online friends than in real life. Since in the cyberspace, we canno t see others’ faces, we do not have to worry about the negative results brought by direct communication. For instance, we are free to air our opinions on some sensitive issues of the society, and share our little secrets with our online friends with ease. In this way, online friendship gives rise to more openness and less stress or pressure at the same time.While many people argue that making friends online is not stable or even dangerous, I posit that embracing this technological innovation by becoming a true netizen is definitely a wise choice.。

96TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:Every college student would agree that life in college is not the same as it was in the middle school. Now, you have been asked by the Students' Union to write a passage entitled:THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY COLLEGE LIFE AND MY MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFEas part of an introduction programme for new students coining in September.You are to write in three paragraphs.In the first paragraph, state clearly what you think the main difference between college and middle school life.In the second paragraph, state which life you prefer and why.In the last paragraph, bring what you have, written to a natural conclusion with a summary or suggestion.Marks will be awarded far content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.参考样文The Main Difference Between My College Life and My MiddleSchool LifeAs 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 workableplan 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.97TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]Write a composition of about 150 words on the following topic: Some of your classmates think that more pressure from academic studies is not beneficial to students. You either agree or disagreewith them.MORE PRESSURE FROM ACADEMIC STUDIES DOES (OR DOES NO) GOOD TO USYou are to write in three paragraphs.In the first paragraph state clearly what your view is.In the second paragraph, support your view with details.In the last paragraph, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion with a summary or suggestion.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.参考样文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 enrollment. 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 becomesintense. 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.98TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]It is now generally accepted that vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) are a major 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 PROBLEMYou 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 ProblemToo 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 numberof 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.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 ActivitiesIn 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 awardedfor content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.The Importance of Extracurricular ActivitiesDear 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 playfootball with my classmates for one hour every afternoon. After aday‟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.Act ually 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,T om Smith2001TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]Travel has become part of our life. And more and more of us have come to know the significance of travel through our own experience. Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 wordson the following topic:TRA VEL BROADENS THE MINDYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state what the topic actually means to you.In the second part, give one or two examples to illustrate your ideas.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusionor a summary.Travel Broadens the MindNowadays, 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.2002 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN] Nowadays people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of health. And they have different ways to stay healthy.For example, some exercise every day; others try to keep a balanced diet. What do you think is the best way to stay healthy?Write a composition of about 150 words on the following topic: THE BEST WAY TO STAY HEALTHYYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state what you think is the best way.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.The Best Way to Stay HealthyNowadays,the desire for good health is universal. Wherever you are and whatever you do, staying healthy is always important. With the improvement of our living standards, people are attaching more and more importance to their health. However, which do you think is the best way to keep healthy?Different people come up with different views: eating green food, doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology. According to some surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally ill. The burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others, so they can‟ t step out of the shadow of depressio n andsadness. They need to release their spirit to the nature. Besides, if you have developed a good quality of psychology, you‟ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society. Enrolling for some keep-fit clubs or joining some travel agency, which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise, will benefit you a lot.As a poem says, youth is not a period of time; it‟s a state of mind. Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living. Keep a good quality of mind, or keep a sense of humour, even if you are 80, and you‟ll never be old.2003 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN] People in modern society live under a lot of pressure, from education, career, or family. So it is important for them to keep a good mood under whatever circumstances. Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A GOOD MOODYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state specifically what your view is.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A GOOD MOODPeople in modern society live under a lot of pressure. I see three kinds of pressure working on people today: pressure from education, family and career. It is easy to blame the school for charging too much money, the family members for the heavy burden, the society for the fierce competition. I think people should relax. It is important for them to keep a good mood under whatever circumstances.Long gone are the days when people lived their life with a certain relaxation, sampling a wide variety of activities—film, music, art, poetry. But now, a lot of people suffer from a lot of pressure. They can‟t communicate well with co-workers and family members, and have unbalanced, one-dimensional lives. Some people complain of symptoms of stress, for instance, loss of appetite, a complete sense of exhaustion, insomnia and low morale. Thus have destructive effect on their health. People tend to lose temper easily, and this may interfere personal relationship. What‟s more, a high rate of suicide may warn people of their emotional well-being.To be a healthy person physically and psychologically, one should keep a good mood, according to some psychology experts.Those little things may seem relatively insignificant—reading mystery novels, playing volleyball, spending time with family and friends, maintaining your emotional well-being, getting plenty of rest, going fishing. They can help you keep a good mood.2004 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN] Nowadays young people tend to phone more often than write to each other. So, some say that phones will kill letter writing. What is your opinion?Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:WILL PHONES KILL LETTER WRITING?You are to write in three parts.In the first part, state specifically what your view is.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.Letter Writing Will Not Be Killed Nowadays, young people choose to phone each other rather writing letters. But even if so, I still maintain that letter writing will never be killed by phones, though we have stepped into theInformation Age.First, letters can express your subtle feelings. With the increase of the living pace of modern society, we find that there is a lack of communication now. Sometimes when you are speaking to someone that you care and love on the phone, you are so shy that it‟s too hard to express any of your feelings towards him/her. Your throat seems to be blocked! At this time, letters will help. Without any embarrassment, you can just write down your deep concern and love on a piece of paper. When you drop the letter into the pillar-box, you will feel what he/she will receive is not only a letter, but also your deepest love. Secondly, letters can be kept as a record of memory, while phones cannot. Just imagine, when you open an old box of letters and read them years later, a lot of beautiful and indelible memories will be brought back to you. What an irreplaceable feeling it is! And I believe, this feeling is something that you can definitely never experience through several phone calls.All in all, letter writing will absolutely survive and even thrive in the Information Age. Phones can never kill it, neither will anything.2005 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]The students‟ Union of your university is planning to hold an artsfestival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIV ALYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state what you think is the best way.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.My Idea of a University Arts FestivalAn arts festival will no doubt add much to our campus life, since it, like other group activities, will be a stage on which students from different colleges and departments communicate and share their interests. This festival, of course, needs to be well organized, so as to get everyone involved. While all kinds of activities contribute to this great festival, lectures by leading artists in this country will surely make it more successful.First of all, influential …stars‟ are always an attraction to involve the greatest number of participants. The main purpose of this festival, just as other cam pus activities, is to add variety to students‟ life. Itsresults and influence need to be measured more by the number of participants than by their artistic level it will display. The more people get involved, the more successful the festival. While a few of the students are busy performing during the festival, lectures permit the majority to sit there listening and asking their …masters‟ questions. Secondly, face-to-face communication between students, some of whom are potential artists, and the leading artists is always a bridge linking textbook knowledge and practice. University students spend most of their time learning from textbooks or at the library, but knowing how to do is quite different from doing it. The experience of and advice from those practitioners in the fields of music, movie, and painting help university students to think what else they need to learn and what they will do in the future. What‟s more, lectures by well-known experts will enhance the influence of the arts festival and the university. Arts festivals are held in many universities in the city, but they are organized in more or less the same way. As far as I know, lectures are seldom part of them.

It will get more students to get involved, students will benefit from lectures by experts, and it will draw more public attention to the festival.2006 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN] Recently a Beijing information company did a survey of student lifeamong more than 700 students in Beijing, Guangzhou ,Xi 'an, Chengdu , Shanghai , Wuhan, Nanjing ,and Shenyang .

As far as I am concerned, spending tomorrow‟s money today is a better and wiser option.First of all, spending tomorrow‟s money may improve our living standards and enable us to live a happy and well-to-do life. Still remember the wide-spread story about two old ladies—one is American and the other is Chinese. In her life the American lady spent tomorrow‟s money, enjoying the capacious houses, luxuriouscars and all the modern electrical appliances. Before she died, she had paid off all her loans, and she said she had no regret in her life and she had led a happy life. On the other hand, the Chinese one just saved money, living a hard life. When she died, she finally could afford the luxurious houses with her savings, but she had no time to enjoy it any longer. What a poor lady! What‟s more, spending tomorrow‟s money also plays a significant role in the economy of our country. Since it can spur people to make more money to enjoy life, the consumerism by this trend will undoubtedly drive forward our economy. With the country‟s economy developed, the best beneficiary is our common people. In other word, it is the best way to ensure a life free from poverty and anxiety about future.All in all, with benefits to both our personal lives and the development of the country, spending tomorrow‟s money in advance will be a sensible choice, comparing with a life of saving money all life long which will surely brings us poverty.2007 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN] Nowadays the Internet has become part of people‟s life, and millionof young people have made friends online.Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:Is It Wise to Make Friends OnlineYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state what you think is the best way.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?Internet, as one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century, has greatly changed our life. Nowadays, more and more young people have many friends online, which, as far as I am concerned, has more benefits than negative efforts.Firstly, Internet enlarges our circle of friends considerably. No other ways of communication enable us to makes friends all around the world as easily as Internet does. As long as we can speak English or other foreign languages, we are able to chat with Americans, Japanese as well as European people, and therefore, to broaden our views by exposing ourselves to various cultures and experiences. Apart from that, we tend to be more honest and straightforward when we make online friends than in real life. Since in the cyberspace, we cannot see others‟faces, we do not have to worry about the negative results brought by direct communication. For instance, we are free to air our opinions on some sensitive issues of the society, and share our little secrets with our online friends with ease. In this way, online friendship gives rise to more openness and less stress or pressure at the same time.While many people argue that making friends online is notstable or even dangerous, I posit that embracing this technological innovation by becoming a true netizen is definitely a wise choice.Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China. Many people believe that tourism produce positive effects on economic growth and we should try our best to promote tourism. But what these people fail to see is that tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on our environment. As for me, I'm firmly convinced that too much tourists bring harm to the environment.The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itself in various ways. One way is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot. In order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on the environment. This process usually breaks the ecological balance of the area. In some mountainous places, trees are being cut down to build hotels for others to see and explore the beauty of the mountains. Then land slides and mud-rock flows come up. Another way the development of tourism has damaged the environment occurs when tourists go to scenic spots. Some tourists don‟t have the awareness to protect the environment, and ignorantly throw their garbage here and there. Some people even kill the local wildlife to eat, which badly damages the balance of the natural environment.It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of tourism. We must keep in mind that too much tourists bring harm to the environment. We need to find a balance between satisfying the needs of tourists and reducing to a minimum the pollution they cause.。

Some solutions have been proposed, such as reducing the number of private vehicles, fully promoting public transportation means and using lead-free petrol, etc. However, my advice is that we should use electricity-generated vehicles instead as a solution to the problem.The substitution of petrol with electricity is advantageous for last two reasons. The first reason is that electricity is clean. We know that the use of petrol has proved to be the most serious cause of air pollution. But if electricity is applied, no pollutants will be produced. The second reason is that electricity is almost inexhaustible. Since many ways of generating electricity are available now, the resort to electricity may free us from the worry that the power needed for vehicle use may run out someday. As a result, we will not have to impose restrictions on the use of vehicles. Nor will we need to trim down the number.To sum up, using electricity as power is an ideal solution to the problem of vehicle pollution. It can both keep the air clean and permanently satisfy the needs of vehicle users.April 20Dear George,I have got a ticket for a computer fair. I would like to give it to you because I will go back to my hometown next week, and I will not be able to attend it. I know you are a computer fan and keen on studying different computers. I think you may like to go to the fair, which is located at Guangming Square on Shanghai Road.Please find the ticket enclosed. Wish you would have a happy time there.Sincerely yours,Mark1999A Major Advantage of Advertising on TelevisionEvery time we turn on TV, we all encounter beautiful girls smiling and dancing with cell phones; handsome men jumping and swirling with their shining shoes; adorable babies singing and giggling for super milk. Although different people have different ideas about the advantages and disadvantages of TV ads, I will say the advantages weigh more.The major advantage of advertising on TV lies in its convenience. Advertising on TV can save our time. We can know directly where we can get the goods we need. For example, it is unnecessary for us spend much time trying to find them from one shop to another. Besides, it can also save our money. We can compare the similar products advertised on TV and finally get the best and cheapest one, without going out or traveling a long distance to get what our friends suggested we should buy. What’s more, we can obtain much information about certain products faster than from other media with its beautiful sounds and vivid pictures.From the above-mentioned reasons, we can see it is very convenient for us to know what products are available, how much we should pay form them and where to get them by watching the advertising on TV.March 27 Dear Jimmy,I’m very sorry to hear you are ill these days. What happened to you? Are you feeling better now? I really want to see you, but I am tied up with my term paper. I have to finish it before next Friday the deadline set by Prof. Wang. Anyway, I will come to you when my paper is finished. Hope you will recover soon. All the best.Yours,Tom2000The Importance of VolunteeringExtracurricular activities as part of college life are very important for the all-round development of college students. No student can afford to neglect the importance of these activities.Evidently, extracurricular activities are important in many ways. Firstly, such activities can enrich the students’ college life. As an effective way of both physical and mental relaxation, extracurricular activities provide students with different opportunities to enjoy themselves and relax themselves. For example, after class students can participate in various ball games or colorful recreational activities. Secondly, such activities can help develop teamwork and cooperation among students. For instance, when involved in group activities, students will realize the limitations of their individual efforts and the strength of group work. Lastly, such activities provide the students with an opportunity to be sociable, which is surely helpful for them to communicate with different people in the future after they graduate from college.In brief, extracurricular activist are of great importance to college students. Only when college students are fully aware of the importance, can they really enjoy their college life and have an all-round development of their physical strength and mentalityOct. 16 Dar George,I just learned form the notice board that our university library is looking for a part-time library assistant who can work at weekends. I know you badly need a part-time job to support yourself. It is said the job is well paid, so I am writing to tell you the news. I think you are the right person for the post. So why not go for an interview?Yours truly,Tom2002The Best Way to Stay HealthyNowadays people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of health. And they have different ways to stay healthy. For example, some exercise every day while others try to keep a balanced diet. In my view, to do physical exercise regularly is the best way.My suggestion that physical exercise is the best way for people to stay fit is based on the following two reasons. The first reason is that physical exercise can help to reduce on e’s unnecessary fat and weight. Medical experts have reported that the redundancy of fat is one of the causes of various diseases, some of which are even fatal. The second reason is that physical exercise can keep people a good shape of figure. For example, by doing physical exercise, a man can have a strong body and look cool; while a woman can have a slim figure and look pretty. That is why there are so many people doing physical exercise in the parks, on the sports ground and in the various body-building clubs.In short, I believe the best way to keep fit is to do physical exercise. We may bear the following in mind: to the physical exercise very day, you will keep the doctor away.Sept. 12 Dear Jack,I heard form Sam you would sell your walkman. It happened that my Walkman has been broken for almost a month. I’d like to buy yours if possible. So will you let me know about its present condition and the price you would like to charge? Would 30 dollars is a reasonable price?Yours,Simon2003The Importance of Keeping a Good MoodModern people are supposed to endure a lot of pressure, form education, career, or family. There are many tragic stories in the newspapers about people who went insane or some who committed suicide. Those tragedies once again indicate how important it is to keep a good mood.Keeping a good mood under whatsoever circumstances is important in at least two aspects. The first one is that keeping a good mood can help people possess a right attitude towards various difficulties and challenges. Self-confidence is always the best way for people to get out of the difficult situation. For example, some people have failed in business for several times and now they are in deep debt, but they never give up their hope and still believe they have the ability to be successful. This self-confidence will surely lead them to success someday. The second one is that keeping a good mood can help people put disappointment and frustration in the right perspective. Thinking that failure is the mother of success, people can well survive thetemporary blows and look forward to the right future.Through the above analysis, we can realize how important it is to keep a good mood in order to face the pressure or challenges of modern society. When most people are aware of the importance of physical health, we must at the same time remind them of the significance of mental health.Nov. 12Dear Clare,Congratulations on your moving into a new house and thanks a lot for your invitation to your house-warming party this weekend. But I won’t be able to come because I have to be in Beijing on business this Friday and will not return until next Monday. Nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy the party and wish the new house of yours would bring you a wonderful new life.Yours,Mike2004Will Phones Kill Letter Writing?According to a recent survey made by China Daily, about 200 million Chinese are using phones as their daily communication means instead of writing letters to each other. So some people say that phones will kill letter writing. But I don’t think so.My argument that phones will not kill letter writing lies in at least three aspects. First, letter writing as a traditional way of communication still has some advantages over phones. For example, if people want to express something confidential to their close friends, they will turn to letter writing. Another example is that rural workers who are working far way from their hometown are more likely to write letters to their families than to make phone calls for the purpose of saving money. Second, letter writing is more authoritative and formal in some way. For instance, people who are doing business will write formal business letters to do a deal; people who want to recommend or introduce someone to someone else will write letter of recommendation or letter of introduction; people who want to apply for a scholarship will write a letter of application to a certain university, etc. Last but not the least, letter writing is still regarded as a token of friendship among friends. People always write letters to show their everlasting glove and affection.All in all, letter writing is still very popular among people. It is still a good way for people to communicate with each other and it is impossible to be killed by phones. Just do as the saying goes, if you don’t want to be forgotten by your friend, then take up your pen and write him a letter.June 30Dear Jane,This morning Sandy came to tell me you are feeling very unhappy these daysbecause you failed in the final examination of mathematics. As a close friend of yours, I just want you not to be so depressed and not to lose heart. You know there is no permanent winner, so don’t’ be so disappointed. Cheer up, my dear friend.Yours truly,Dan05 年The Importance of Extracurricular ActivitiesExtracurricular activities as part of college life are very important for the all-round development of college students. However, I find there are still some students who neglect the importance of these activities.Evidently, extracurricular activities are important in many ways. Firstly, such activities can enrich college life.

There are many reasons that contribute to this phenomenon.Firstly, producers are profit-driven and they can raise the prices of their products by delicate packaging so as to make much more profit.Secondly, consumers tend to think it more decent to purchase well-packaged products, especially when they want to buy gifts for their friends.The last but not the least, imperfect taws and regulations make it not possible to completely ban excessive packaging.In my opinion, besides the cost for buyers, excessive packaging also results in the waste of resources and environment pollution.To solve the problem, it's necessary to take the following measures.First, laws and regulations must be perfected to restrict excessive packaging.Second, we need to raise consumer's awareness that delicate packaging doesn't equal to high quality.Meanwhile, we need to advocate packaging recycling.[解析] 本文主题是比较贴近社会的热点话题,提示要求学生先指出现象,阐述原因,最后论述白己的观点。

Y ou should write at least 100 w ords, and base your competition on the outline given in Chinese below:1. 很多人认为有必要举行英语口语考试,理由是......2. 也有人持不同意见,......3. 我的看法和打算Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test (CET).WritingA test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test (CET). Many people agree to this. They think oral communication is a very important part in English learning. If one can understand what foreigners say, but can’t open his mouth and express himself in English, he seems to be dumb.However, other people don’t think so. They will say that oral English is not so necessary because it is nearly impossible for many people to talk with foreigners face to face.As far as I’m concerned, I agree to the first viewpoint. With our society developing more and more quickly, people will have more chances to study abroad or to work with foreigners, and then, communication in English is very essential. Therefore, I’ve made up my mind to learn English well and speak English fluently.2001年1月Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic How to Succeed in a Job Interview?

How to Succeed in a Job Interview?WritingHow to Succeed in a Job Interview?Nowadays, in an every tighter job marker, great importance has been attached to an interview by both the employer and the applicant. The interview , so to speak, has become indispensable for getting a satisfactory job. On the one hand, the interview can take advantage of the occasion to learn about the candidates, such as their work experience, education and their personalities, so as to pick out the right candidates for the company. On the other hand, the interview can make use of the opportunity to get to know the job he is going to take up, the credibility of the firm to which he has applied, and the working conditions as well.Essential as it is, the job interview is far from fearful. Well begun, half done. Excellent performance in it will enable thewould-be employee to secure the job. But how can one succeed in it?First of all, the interviewee has to pay attention to his or her appearance. Though we can never judge a person by his appearance, the first impression is always where we start. Secondly, good manners are equally important. The interviewee must demonstrate his attitude and skills for the job and the knowledge about the job-related areas; he must express himself clearly and confidently. Last but not the least, the interviewee ought to be honest about his or her personal as well as academic background, for honesty is the best policy.To sum up, the job interview is indeed important. There is no need to be nervous, however, if the interviewee has made full preparations for it and given a fairly confident and honest performance, his or her success can be ensured.2001年6月Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter.

2000-2010年专四真题作文范文
2000-2010年专四真题作文范文2010年专四真题作文Should College Students Hire Cleaners(1)Should college students hire cleaners? (2)Students' views on this issue vary from one to another. (3)Some students think that it is reasonable to hire cleaners for laundry and dorm cleaning while others hold that hiring cleaners does harm to the college students. (4)In my point of view, although there are some conveniences of hiring cleaners, the losses far outweigh the benefits. (5)The reasons are mainly as follows:(6)First of all, students lose the opportunities to enhance their unity and friendship. (7)Friends are indispensable in college life, especially for freshmen. (8)It is a chance for them to develop friendship and teamwork when they clean dorms together and do laundry together.(9)With the joy of working for their own surroundings, they can appreciate college life better. (10) In addition, students become more independent by taking care of their own lives. (11)Doing laundry or cleaning dorms is surely an effective way to learn how to keep a balance between study and the rest and how to arrange schedule properly.(12)To sum up, hiring cleaners is unnecessary. On campus, students can enjoy a colorful and independent life by doing their own chores, so it is wise not to hire cleaners.2009年专四真题作文Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China. Many people believe that tourism produce positive effects on economic growth and we should try our best to promote tourism. But what these people fail to see is that tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on our environment. As for me, I’m firmly convinced that too much tourists bring harm to the environment.The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itself in various ways. One way is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot.In order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on the environment. This process usually breaks the ecological balance of the area. In some mountainous places, trees are being cut down to build hotels for others to see and explore the beauty of the mountains. Then land slides and mud-rock flows come up. Another way the development of tourism has damaged the environment occurs when tourists go to scenic spots. Some tourists don’t have the awareness to protect the environment, and ignorantly throw their garbage here and there. Some people even kill the local wildlife to eat, which badly damages the balance of the natural environment.It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of tourism. We must keep in mind that too much tourists bring harm to the environment. We need to find a balance between satisfying the needs of tourists and reducing to a minimum the pollution they cause.2008年专四作文真题The Benefits of VolunteeringVolunteering has grown into a fashion these years, with volunteers ranging from college students to white collar workers. It is reported now China has 4.5 million registered volunteers having provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. Why would so many people like to do volunteer work? Are there any benefits of volunteering?The answer is absolutely yes. First of all, through volunteering we can gain more experiences. Whatever volunteering work we do, either being a volunteer teacher for a village school or a volunteer worker in a retired house, we can taste different lifestyles and broaden our horizon.Secondly, through volunteering we can acquire the sense of being needed. Many people feel frustrated with travails in life and empty with the cycling of working and resting. They gradually become numb, losing the sense of being needed. By joining the volunteer group and offering help voluntarily to people who need it, we may feel happy and fulfilled again.Thirdly, through volunteering we can learn more good qualities. Volunteer work is team work, which needs good cooperation. We can knowpeople with different personalities and different background joining in the volunteer group and devoting to the volunteer work together. From our co - volunteers we can absorb many good qualities that could help us be better persons.In conclusion, volunteering is of great benefit in that we can gain more experiences, acquire the sense of being needed and learn more good qualities.2007年专四作文真题范文1 Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?Currently the public has paid great attention to the debate concerning whether it is wise or not to make friends online. Taking all the favorable and unfavorable aspects into account, I stand firmly on the side that we can benefit from making friends online. This point of perspective, I believe, shared by the largest proportion of the public, can be explained in the following tangible reasons.Firstly, communication is unquestionably regarded as an extremely important element in our society. Unfortunately, there are people around us appear to be apathetic and have got no idea about how to make an acquaintance with a stranger. They may be too shy or nervous or they are afraid of being refused by others. But remember no man is an island entire of itself, every man is a part of the continent, a part of the main. As a consequence, regardless of the fact that whether you like it or not, as individuals, we have to be part of the main. And, internet, as a mass medium, provides us with a chance. Things turn to be quite different because sitting in front of the computer screen, people who are scared to make friends online can talk with others more naturally and confidently.Secondly, it is well acknowledged that we can learn a lot from our e-pals. If our friend online were a foreigner, we can practice English with him or her. What’s more, we can have a glimpse of general information of another country,such as the culture, the tradition, the custom or thegeography.From what have mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that making friends online can do us some good. And communication online is having a greater impact on our daily life.范文2 Is it wise to make friends on the Internet?With the overwhelming development of Internet, never has been a communication tool, like MSN or QQ, that makes people contact with each other using such a convenient and extensive method. However, is it wise to make acquaintance with cyber friends throughout the globe even when each other’s identity is secretly classified? My answer is no.Admittedly, making friends online bring us a great amount of joy and unimagined stimulating experience. Nevertheless, as we can only communicate people though words or images, someone with ulterior motives may hide behind the screen waiting for a moment to conspire his illegal actions. Just as the joke tells, a 21 years old pretty girl may turn out to be an 80 years old ugly drunker.In addition, people are easily getting addicted to this fictitious relationship and losing the ability of surviving in their real living environment. Net communication can never take the place of a face to face taking or a familiar attracting expression. What is more, who are you turning into when emergency happens, someone thousands miles far away that you even don’t know about his name, or the next door neighbor s who smile at you every morning?In conclusion, when we try to make friends online, it is necessary to be sensible and take precautions to ensure our safety especially meeting net friends outside. Only in this way, can we enjoy the exciting experience and extremely convenient the net bring s to us.2006年专四真题作文范文1 My Idea of Saving MoneyA recent survey, carried out by a Beijing-based information company, has shown that two thirds of the Chinese college students today favor theidea of saving money for later use, whereas quite many others deem it much better to use tomor row’s money today. Personally, I side with the former.Firstly, saving money can relieve one’s anxiety in case of accidents, disease or other mishaps. As we all know, when one faces such tragedies as fir damage or fatal disease, one would need a large amount of money to survive such difficulties. Secondly, saving money can give one a sense of fulfillment.Since most people work hard every day, they will be quiet happy and satisfied with his “achievement” when they find they have accumulated a large deposit in the bank. Thirdly, saving money allows one to give a helping hand to others. With money available at the moment, one can offer badly needed help to those in temporary difficulty, say, those who are suffering from flood, famine, a car accident, or things like that. Yet taking a loan from a bank is often too costly. Thus, the timely help will be rewarded with gratitude. A dependable friendship will eventually be fostered.To sum up, saving money does have many advantages. Indeed, it is an important aspect of the Chinese conception of virtue. Therefore, let’s start saving money from today on.范文2 Using Tomorrow’s Money for Today’s ComfortRecently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students, and the results have shown that 67 percent students think that saving money is a good habit, while the rest believe using tomorrow’s money today is better. For me, I agree with the latter point of view.Most people may have heard of the story about a Chinese old lady and an American old lady. The former spent all her life painstakingly saving enough money to buy a new apartment, without living in it for a long timebefore her death, while the latter first borrowed money form the bank to buy a new apartment in her youth and lived in it comfortably, then spent the rest of her life paying the loan. In the story, the results are the same---they both bought an apartment, but their life experiences are radically different; the former hardly lived in the house for she had spent all her life saving money for it, while the latter enjoyed living there for quite a long time because she “ used tomorrow’s money today”. By comparison, we can clearly see that the latter’s choices of lifestyle is much better than the former’s Then, why don’t we use tomorrow’s money for today’s comfort?To conclude, I think using tomorrow’s money today is much better than saving money all day.2005年专四真题作文MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIVALWith merely four months to go before the arts festival starts, my fellow students are getting increasingly enthusiastic in brainstorming for the significant event. While in my opinion typical activities such as performances, forums and lectures on art should be taken into consideration.The festival itself is an image-creating undertaking. Students should be attracted to the festival at the first glimpse, so the opening ceremony must be of vital importance. Fascinating performances, for instance, pop music, ballet dancing and instrument playing ought to be put on in this section and if possible an orchestra can be invited to add spice to the ceremony. Certainly only performances are too superficial. To help students take a deeper insight of arts, forums and lectures must be held. Forums can be held through BBS owning to the wide accessibility to Internet, whereas professors and experts can be invited to give lectures concerning basic knowledge of art and the role that art plays in daily life. However, prior to all the above, professional organization, detailed plans and effective promulgation are needed to promise a success.A university arts festival, in brief, must embrace rich content and careful preparation. Only then can it be successful and can everyone enjoy himself.2004年专四作文真题Letter Writing Will Not Be KilledNowadays, young people choose to phone each other rather writing letters. But even if so, I still maintain that letter writing will never be killed by phones, though we have stepped into the Information Age.Firstly, letters can express your subtle feelings. With the increase of the living pace of modern society, we find that there is a lack of communication now. Sometimes when you are speaking to someone that you care and love on the phone, you are so shy that it’s too hard to express any of your feelings towards him/her. Your throat seems to be blocked! At this time, letters will help. Without any embarrassment, you can just write down your deep concern and love on a piece of paper. When you drop the letter into the pillar-box, you will feel what he/she will receive is not only a letter, but also your deepest love.Secondly, letters can be kept as a record of memory, while phones cannot. Just imagine when you open an old box of letters and read them years later, a lot of beautiful and indelible memories will be brought back to you. What an irreplaceable feeling it is! And I believe, this feeling is something that you can definitely never experience through several phone calls.All in all, letter writing will absolutely survive and even thrive in the Information Age. Phones can never kill it, neither will anything.2003年作文真题范文THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A GOOD MOODPeople in modern society live under a lot of pressure. There are three kinds of pressure working on people today: pressure from education, family and career. It is easy to blame the school for charging too much money, the family members for the heavy burden, and the society for the fierce competition. It is universally acknowledged/ There is public perception people should relax. It is important for them to keep a good mood under whatever circumstances.Long gone are the days when people lived their life with a certain relaxation, sampling a wide variety of activities—film, music, art, poetry. But now, a lot of people suffer fr om a lot of pressure. They can’t communicate well with co-workers and family members, and have unbalanced, one-dimensional lives. Some people complain of symptoms of stress, for instance, loss of appetite, a complete sense of exhaustion, insomnia and low morale. Thus have destructive effect on their health. People tend to lose temper easily, and this may interfere personal relationship. What’s more, a high rate of suicide may warn people of their emotionalwell-being.To be a healthy person physically and psychologically, one should keep a good mood, according to some psychology experts. Those little things may seem relatively insignificant—reading mystery novels, playing volleyball, spending time with family and friends, maintaining your emotional well-being, getting plenty of rest, going fishing. They can help you keep a good mood.2002年专四真题作文The Best Way to Stay HealthNowadays,the desire for good health is universal. Wherever you are and whatever you do, staying healthy is always important. With the improvement of our living standards, people are attaching more and more importance to their health. However, which do you think is the best way to keep healthy? Different people come up with different views: eating green food, doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology.According to some surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally ill. The burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others, so they can’ t step out of the shadow of depression and sadness. They need to release their spirit to the nature.Besides, if you have developed a good quality of psychology, you’ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society. Enrolling for some keep-fit clubs or joining some travel agency, which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise, will benefit you a lot.As a poem says, youth is not a pe riod of time; it’s a state of mind. Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living.Keep a good quality of mind, or keep a sense of humor, to be precise, even if you are 80, and you’ll never be old.2001年专四作文真题Travel broadens the mindSample A:Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. Many people are rich enough to afford a travel at home or abroad. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. The increasing popularity of travel is, among others, due to the following reason: travel broadens our minds to an extent which may not be reached previously.For example, if we travel to Africa, we will find a culture totally different from that of ours, and people who think and live in a way unimaginable for us before we set foot on the continent. And we will marvel at the natural wonders, historic miracles and cultural brilliances we findthere. All these experiences help to broaden our minds. As a result, our misunderstanding about the continent, if any, will be weeded out, our perspective of seeing the world possibly changed, our mode of thinking altered and, above all, our mind broadened.Reading makes an erudite博学的 man; practicing a capable man; and traveling a broad-minded man.Sample B:Travel has many benefits to offer. It enriches our experiences and helps us know more about the world, aside from relaxing ourselves both physically and psychologically.To begin with, travel is one of the best ways to enrich our experiences. If we visit tourist attractions and historical or cultural relics at different places of our country or foreign lands, we will meet different people, enjoy exotic natural sceneries,have a taste of varied cultures and, in the long run, enrich our knowledge.Moreover, travel also helps to enlighten and broaden our minds, since it provides us with new perspectives through what we learn from other cultures. For example, it helps to reduce cultural prejudice after we have got a better understanding of civilizations that vary sharply from one another.Travel is gaining increasing popularity among us. We travel to relax ourselves, enrich our experiences and broaden our minds.2000年专四真题作文The importance of extracurricular activitiesCollege is a place to raise all-round intellectuals, which means that life on campus should consist of diverse activities rather than mere academic studies; and that’s why extracurricular activities become important.For one thing, extracurricular activities can provide students with real-life experience in decision-making and problem-solving, through which some specific knowledge or skills are required. For example, the development of leadership skills occurs as students assume ownership for the success of their organization. Such experience will help them more about themselves and point the way to their future career. For another, participation in extracurricular activities will enable students todevelop a balance between academic accomplishments and social development. This necessary balance will greatly aid each student to more successfully encounter the challenges of our contemporary society. Moreover, participating in extracurricular activities could also boost students’ development of interpersonal relations hip. The awareness of responsibility, cooperation and punctuality, are fostered as each student interacts with other members of their group.In short, extracurricular activities are vital because they could help students explore their interests and talents, teach them to manage their time and know their limits, as well as fit them in with other students.。

You should write at least 120 words folllowing the outline given below.1. 目前不少父母为孩子包办一切2. 为了让孩子独立, 父母应该……(1)2010年12月大学英语四级考试作文范文高分版How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent?It is nothing unusual to find overprotective parents who help their children in all aspects of life. The question is, are they sure their heart loaded with love will bring good to their children? Let’s look at the real situation of the second-rich generation. Some of them, rather than becoming the second-strong generation, becomes the defeated generation which is notorious for their life focused on consumption rather than creation.Because of the changes of education in history, most Chinese parents, though successfully accumulate wealth, don’t know much about the right valuethey should pass on to the new generation. They have tried all that they can to be good parents while neglecting the core value they should address, which is INDEPENDENCE.(2)2010年12月大学英语四级考试作文范文范文How should parents help children to be independent?They should give their children the freedom to make choices for themselves. Children cannot be happy if they don’t have control over their life, which in daily life, means they make choices for themselves, like, what to eat, what to wear, what career to do, what kind of spouse they are going to marry. Some parents may be open-minded enough to let their children to make these tiny decisions about food and clothes, but when it comes to the big ones, they are too anxious to let their children have a try. They used to be young and they made mistakes and now it is their sons and daughters’turn to be young—the deep love and care is so intense that it becomes even suffocating--they are reluctant to give their children opportunities to start to be responsible for their own lives.2011年6月英语四级作文题目Online Shopping1. 现在网上购物已成为一种时尚2. 网上购物有很多好处,但也有不少问题3. 我的建议参考范文1Nowadays with the ever rapid development and increasing popularity of the information technology , shopping on the internet has been a fashion especially among the youngsters.Online shopping has made our daily life more convenient and comfortable. For example , shopping on the internet can save students a great deal of time on the way between home and store, so they would be able to concentrate more time and energy on their academic work. The internet has shorten the distance between manufacturers and consumers and thus we can even buy goods in other countries .On the other hand , lack of the face to face deal makes online shopping less reliable and trustworthy. What’s more the delivery will increase the risk of items’damage.In my opinion, shopping on the internet is a irreversible trend. More and more people will be accustomed to it. It will be much more popular in the near future. And at the same time we should take some measures to make it perfect.参考范文2Nowadays, with the rapid development of information technology, online shopping has gained great popularity among more and more web users. For example, it is fashionable for youngsters to purchase daily essentials, such as books, clothes, electrical equipment, on some famous website, like Taobao, EBay and Alibaba.Undoubtedly speaking, online shopping has many advantages. Firstly, compared with traditional shopping, it’s very convenient. What you need to do is just clicking your mouse and waiting instead of going out by foot or driving. Secondly, more choices than real store are another attraction to customers. However, in spite of convenience and more choices of online shopping, we cannot turn a blind eye to its disadvantages. Obviously, quality problem is its first disadvantage. It’s common that articles aren’t so good just as they are described online that customers always buy fake commodities. In addition, it’s troublesome and annoying for many customers to make a change when they are not satisfied with what they bought online.As a college student, I like online shopping but I expected that effective measures should be taken to make it better。

One big problem is the polluti on caused by the use of cars .In order to solve this problem, gover nmentagencies in some big cities recently suggest that a “ pollution taxon private cars in order to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in thecity.

The money they paid for the clea ners probably comes from their pare nts, who must be very depressed once they know the truth. It also sets a very bad precede nt on campus. Other stude nts may follow suit to show the wealth of their families;or worse, they tend to think money can buy them anything in this world, which obviously is wrong.All in all, I think we must do away with this practice. Otherwise, we may n ever appreciate the good value of money and an in depe ndent way of life. The better and sooner we can take care of ourselves, the more proud our pare nts will be.226word TEM-2009: Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment? ________________In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China. Many people believethat tourism produce positive effects on econo mic growth and we should try our best to promote tourism. But what these people fail to see is that tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on our environment. As for me, rm firmly convinced that too much tourists bring harm to the environment.The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itselfin various ways. One way is the process of exploit ing a new scenic spot. In orderto attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certainunfavorable effects on the environment. This process usually breaks theecological bala nee of the area. In some mountainous places, trees are being cut dow n to build hotels for others to see and explore the beauty of the mountains.Then land slides and mud-rock flows come up. Ano ther way the developme nt of tourism has damaged the environment occurs whe n tourists go to sce nic spots.Some tourists don't have the aware ness to protect the environment, andignoran tly throw their garbage here and there. Some people even kill the local wildlife to eat, which badly damages the balance of the natural environment.It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of tourism. We mustkeep in mind that too much tourists bring harm to the environment. We need to find a balance between satisfying the needs of tourists and reducing to a minimum the pollution they cause.251wordsTEM-2008:The Ben efits of Volu nteeri ngVolun teeri ng means being willi ng to help people in n eed and make con tributi ons to society for no finan cial rewards. Needless to say, volun teeri ng is of treme ndous ben efits to both those in n eed and the society. Yet, despite the fact that volunteers are not paid for what they have done, serving as a volunteer,I believe, is also ben eficial to the volun teers themselves.First, volun teeri ng helps volun teers improve their in terpers onal skills. They can un dersta nd people better and have better skills to motivate others and to deal with difficult situati ons in collaborati on with people of differe nt personalities in their volunteering work.Besides, volun teeri ng serves as a good opport un ity for volun teers to applytheir knowledge to practical problems. This is especially useful for suddenvolun teers. For in sta nee, stude nts volun teeri ng to assist foreig n guests on big occasions like Canton Fair can not only practice their oral English, but also have first hand experience on the latest development of their field.Fin ally, volun teeri ng satisfies one ' psychological n eed for respect and self-fulfillme nt, and it gives the volun teers a sense of achieveme nt.In a word, volun teeri ng helps to improve one ' in terpers onal skills, applyone ' knowledge to practice, and give the volunteers a sense of self-fulfillment.It is of great ben efits to the society, but it ben efits the volun teers even greater.(216 words)TEM-2007: Is It Wise to Make Frie nds On li ne?(1) Is it wise to make friends online? (2) People ' s views about this issue varyfrom one to ano ther. (3) Some people think that it is un wise to make friendson li ne while others think that there is nothing wrong with on li ne frien ds. (4) Inmy point of view, although on li ne friends cannot be always trusted, the ben efitsfar outweigh the risks. (5) The reasons are mainly as follows:(6) First of all, it is easy and quick to get to know people and make new friends on li ne. (7) We know friends are in dispe nsable in our daily life but they cannot stay with us wherever we go. (8) For many people, especially college freshme n, leaving friends and the security of home for a new place where they don anyone can be overwhelming. (9)t know With some online chatting tools such as QQ and MSN, they can talk to people they like and find people withcom mon in terests easily. (10) In additi on, on li ne friends can help broade n our kno wledge about differe nt cultures and customs.

(12) We can alsopractice our English in speaking and writing.(13) To sum up, making friends online is amazing. In the online globalcommunity we can enjoy an active social life with rewarding experienee, so it iswise to make on li ne frien ds.241wordsTEM-2006: Saving Money is a Good Habit _________(1 ) Recen tly the result of a survey con ducted by a Beiji ng in formatio ncompa ny has show n that the majority of Chin ese stude nts think that savi ngmoney is a good habit while the rest prefer to use tomorrow ' s money. (2) As isseen to me, the principle of “ hard work and thrift ” is still at work in China, andI absolutely believe that we will profit more from saving money than fromspending tomorrow ' s money.(3) Through savi ng mon ey, we ' ll be better prepared for our life. (4) There is anold saying that “ a penny saved is a penny earned ” . (5) In modern society, life isso changeable that we c an ' t predict what will happen in the future. (6) So we ' d better get prepared for unexpected emergencies. (7) What ' s more,psychologically speak ing, sav ing money means con troll ing money rather tha n being con trolled by mon ey, and it en ables us to be freer and more in depe ndent.(8) With the money we ' ve saved, we don ' t need to be too much concerned aboutthe old age or the monthly installment that we owe to the bank.Of course I don ' t mean that we cannot loan money to buy a house or for someenjoyment. What I ' m saying is that we must think twice before spendingtomorrow ' s money. (9) To put it in a nutshell, I ' m a great believer that savingmoney is a good habit.230wordsTEM-2005: My Idea of a Un iversity Arts Festival ____________An arts festival will no doubt add much to our campus life, since it, like othergroup activities, will be a stage on which stude nts from differe nt colleges and departme nts com mun icate and share their in terests. This festival, of course, n eeds to be well orga ni zed, so as to get every one in volved. While all kinds of activities con tribute to this great festival, lectures by lead ing artists in thiscountry will surely make it more successful.First of all, i nflue ntial ‘ stars ' are always an attract ion to in volve the greatestnu mber of participa nts. The main purpose of this festival, just as other campusactivities, is to add variety to stude nts ' life. Its results and in flue nee n eed to bemeasured more by the nu mber of participa nts tha n by their artistic level it will display. The more people get involved, the more successful the festival. While afew of the stude nts are busy perform ing duri ng the festival, lectures permit the majority to sit there listening and asking their‘ masters ' questions. Secon dly, face-to-face com muni catio n betwee n stude nts, some of whomare potential artists, and the leading artists is always a bridge linking textbook kno wledge and practice. Uni versity stude nts spe nd most of their time lear ning from textbooks or at the library, but knowing how to do is quite differe nt from doing it. The experie nee of and advice from those practiti oners in the fields of music, movie, and painting help universitystudents to think what else they need to learn and what they will do in the future.What ' s more, lectures by well -known experts will enhance the in flue nee ofthe arts festival and the uni versity. Arts festivals are held in many uni versities inthe city, but they are orga ni zed in more or less the same way. As far as I know, lectures are seldom part of them. Therefore, it will promote the reputatio n of our festival, which is a new comer in the city.In a word, it will be ben eficial to invite some experts to give lectures. It willget more stude nts to get in volved, stude nts will ben efit from lectures by experts, and it will draw more public attention to the festival.(353 words) TEM-2004: Will Phones Kill Le tter Writ ing?Teleph one is said to be one of the greatest inven tio ns of the world, which has's way of life. Although more and more people nowadayswritte n form is con sidered to be more formal tha n that done orally. Therefore, letters are always the preferred way of com mun icati on whe n it comes to formaloccasi ons like job applicati on, n ail ing dow n a con tract or traveli ng in formatio nin dispe nsable no wadays.In a word, letters have their unique features to satisfy certa in com muni cati on purposes and will therefore n ever be replaced by phones in people It ' s perhaps more appropriate to say that they suppleme nt each other in stead of replaci ng eachother.187wordsTEM-2003: The Importa nee of Keep ing a Good Moodrevoluti oni zed peopletend to phone more than write letters, I still don 't believe phones will kill letter writing in people's daily communication. People com muni cate for different purposes and in different ways. Letters, though traditi onal in a way, help people express their ideas in a more exact way , without the careless ton gue slips of teleph one con versati ons. More importa ntly, it is long held that"To see is to believe.and com muni catio n in con firmati on. It is not en tirely groun dless to say that lettersare still's daily life.With the developme nt of moder n scie nee, tech no logy and economics, our living sta ndard has reached an ever higher level. But more and more people are livi ng under greater pressure than ever before. As a consequenee, people arein creas in gly sufferi ng from various distorti ons both physically and men tally. To help out, it is importa nt that every one keep a good mood today.There are several reas ons for my argume nt. First, a good mood can create highefficie ncy. When you work with a good mood, you will feel happy and be willi ngto do some work which used to be bori ng. On the con trary, a bad mood canmake you passive and do things with reluctanee. Second, a good mood isben eficial to your health. If you fail to keep a good mood, you will be feeli ng depressed and fed up, which is apt to cause some psychological diseases. Third, whe n you have a good mood, other people around you will be in flue need. Thus more and more people will feel happy to com muni cate with you.To sum up, keep ing a good mood is very importa nt both for yourself and for the people around you. If you want to have a happy and successful life, please keep a good mood every day.206wordsTEM-2002: The Best Way to Stay Healthy __________Nowadays , the desire for good health is universal. Wherever you are andwhatever you do, stay ing healthy is always importa nt. With the improveme nt ofour liv ing sta ndards, people are attachi ng more and more importa nee to theirhealth. However, which do you think is the best way to keep healthy?Different people come up with different views: eating green food, doingoutdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatme nt freque ntly. As faras I am concern ed, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology.Accord ing to some surveys, no wadays, most patie nts are not physically sickbut men tally ill. The burde n on their shoulders is much heavier tha n others, sothey can ' t step out of the shadow of depressi on and sad ness. They n eed torelease their spirit to the n ature.ll become Beside s, if you have developed a good quality of psychology, youmore sociable and thus more willi ng to play your part in the society. En rolli ng forsome keep-fit clubs or joining some travel age ncy, which by themselves arevarious versions of physical exercise, will ben efit you a lot.As a poem says, youth is not a period of time; it ' as state of mind.Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for en dlessen ergy and passi on for livi ng.Keep ing a good quality of mind and keep ing a sense of humor are really good. Even if you are 80, and you ' ll never be old.(254 words)TEM-2001: Travel Broade ns the Mind_________Nowadays more and more people choose to travel duri ng their holidays, since travel not only brings leisure and joy but also broade ns the mind. As for me, not only can it bring me more historical knowledge, but it can also add to my social experie nee.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 sple ndid culturalheritage. 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 happe ned on this land and I also recalled the resp on sibility to con serve 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 kno wledge. It was also on this trip that I made many new friends with whom I excha nged my opinions, and that I got acqua in ted with some in formati on about first aid and package tour. All this in deed added to my social experie nee.In short, travel offers a good cha nee for me to ope n my eyes and en rich my experience while I can enjoy myself. It broadens the mind in a relaxing way.212wordsTEM-2000:The Importance of Extracurricular Activities ___________People have differe nt ideas about how stude nts should spe nd their school days. Some believe that students should spend the whole day on academicstudies. While others believe that extracurricular activities should be a required part of every school day. Both ways have their adva ntages. But I prefer the latter. The follow ing are my reas ons.As a stude nt, our main task is to concen trate on our academic study. We have to atte nd classes, readi ng books and doing assig nmen ts. Only by work ing hard can we learn our courses well. But I don ' t think we should spend every hourand minute on academic study. A proverb says, “ All work and no play makesJack a dull boy. ” Without goodeahlth 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 hardwor k, 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 makefull use of our time. Instead it does help us study more efficiently. We can be good at learning as well as extracurricularactivities. So I suggest that students do extracurricular activities along with their academic studies.(277 words)。

历年四级真题作文范文(2000.6-2011.6)
2000 ~ 2011 年CET4 分类作文范文集锦2000.6大学英语四级作文Is A Test of Spoken English Necessary?1. 很多人认为有必要举行英语口语考试,理由是......2. 也有人持不同意见,......3. 我的看法和打算A test of spoken English will be included as an optional (component of the College English Test (CET). Some people contend that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because we have been told many times that a Chinese student who has been learning English for years cannot communicate with a native English speaker. Sometimes even those top students who excel at grammar and writing skills find their English inadequate to express their thoughts freely when speaking. A test of spoken English will bring the importance of speaking English to the awareness of the college students, and thus help them with their communicating skills.On the other hand, there are also people who maintain that good reading and writing skills would be enough for the average English learners. College students are already under considerable pressure from their coursework. Another required test will only add to their burden. Also, some students may take the shortcut and only practice the questions according to the fixed format of the test, which will not actually improve their spoken English.I believe that a test of spoken English will do more good than harm. Since China will continue its policy of opening and reform, the ability to speak fluent English is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others in a highly competitive society. Whether I take the test or not, I shall make all efforts to practice my spoken English in the rest years in college.2000.12大学英语四级作文How to Succeed in a Job Interview?Nowadays, in an ever tighter job market, great importance has been attached to an interview by both the employer and the applicant. The interview, so to speak, has become indispensable for getting a satisfactory job. On the one hand, the interviewer can take advantage of the occasion to learn about the candidates, such as their work experiences, education and their personalities, so as to pick out the right person for the company. On the other hand, the interviewee can make use of the opportunity to get to know the job he is going to take up, the salary, the working conditions and many other things about the job he is interested in.Therefore, the job interview is very important to a job-hunter. But how can one succeed in it?Firstly of all, the interviewee must pay attention to his or her appearance. The first impression is always where we start. Get dressed properly and neatly. Secondly, good manners are equally important. Don‟t be too proud, and neither too timi d. Just be courteous. Thirdly, the interviewee must demonstrate his aptitude and skills for the job and his knowledge about eh job-related areas. Be confident. Last but not the least, the interviewee ought to be honest about his or her personal as well as academic background, for honesty is the best policy.To sum up, the job interview is indeed important, but there is no need to be nervous. As long as the interviewee has the ability for the job, with careful preparation and a fairly confident and honest performance, his or her success can be ensured.2001. 6 A letter to a SchoolmateDear Xiao Wang,I‟m delighted to learn that you are going to visit me during the week-long vacation. My parents will also be happy to see you again. I‟m sure you will enjoy eve ry minute here.I know you are fond of swimming. A river lies not far away from my home. We can go swimming there. I think it would be very pleasant and refreshing to swim in such hot summer days. In every big room of my home there is an air-conditioner. We can watch TV, play CDs or read books very comfortably at home.A mountain about two miles away from here is beautiful and it is worth touring. We can go there on foot. When we climb to the top of the mountain, we can have a wonderful bird-eye view of the whole village.Just phone me before you set off. There is no need for you to take anything. I‟ll prepare everything for you.I am looking forward to seeing you soon.Yours,Xxx 2001.12大学英语四级作文A Letter to the University President about the Canteen Service on Campus假设你是李明,请你就本校食堂的状况给校长写一封信,内容应涉及食堂的饭菜质量、价格、环境、服务等,可以是表扬,可以是批评建议,也可以兼有而有之。

TEM-2011:Should private car owners be taxed for pollution?With the development of society, many people can afford a car. As the numberof the cars is rising, we are facing some problems.One big problem is thepollution caused by the use of cars. In order to solve this problem, governmentagencies in some big cities recently suggest that a “ pollution tax ” should be put on private cars in order to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in thecity. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint, and my reasons are as follows:To begin with, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, a lotof big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is theresponsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and theyshould be taxed. The purpose of collecting environmental pollution tax is toraise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue lever to protect ourenvironment.Secondly, it is a good way to raise people ’ s environmental awareness by puttinga pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss whenmaking a decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they willconsider more when deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increaserate of the number of the private cars can be controlled.In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxationto treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people,including the private car owners, should try their best to protect theenvironment.272wordsTEM-2010: Should College Students Hire Cleaners?According to a recent report, six university students hired cleaners to clean theirdorm and do their laundry every week. Although we have no right to tell themwhat to do with their money, as a university student myself, I find this practiceabsurd.For a start, away from our parents, it is in university that we learn to beindependent adults. Cleaning the room and doing one ’ s laundry are the mostbasic living skills. If we always depend on others to take care of us, how can wesurvive when there is no one to help us? How can we take on any responsibilitywhen we step into society?For another, the practice reflects their flippant attitude towards money. The money they paid for the cleaners probably comes from their parents, who mustbe very depressed once they know the truth. It also sets a very bad precedenton campus. Other students may follow suit to show the wealth of their families;or worse, they tend to think money can buy them anything in this world, whichobviously is wrong.All in all, I think we must do away with this practice. Otherwise, we may neverappreciate the good value of money and an independent way of life. The betterand sooner we can take care of ourselves, the more proud our parents will be.226word TEM-2009: Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China. Many people believethat tourism produce positive effects on economic growth and we should try ourbest to promote tourism. But what these people fail to see is that tourism maybring about a disastrous impact on our environment. As for me, I'm firmly convinced that too much tourists bring harm to the environment.The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itselfin various ways. One way is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot. In orderto attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certainunfavorable effects on the environment. This process usually breaks the ecological balance of the area. In some mountainous places, trees are being cutdown to build hotels for others to see and explore the beauty of the mountains.Then land slides and mud-rock flows come up. Another way the development oftourism has damaged the environment occurs when tourists go to scenic spots.Some tourists don't have the awareness to protect the environment, and ignorantly throw their garbage here and there.

This festival, of course,needs to be well organized, so as to get everyone involved. While all kinds ofactivities contribute to this great festival, lectures by leading artists in thiscountry will surely make it more successful.First of all, influential ‘ stars ’ are always an attraction to involve the greatestnumber of participants. The main purpose of this festival, just as other campusactivities, is to add variety to students ’ life. Its results and influence need to bemeasured more by the number of participants than by their artistic level it willdisplay. The more people get involved, the more successful the festival. While afew of the students are busy performing during the festival, lectures permit themajority to sit there listening and asking their ‘ masters ’ questions.Secondly, face-to-face communication between students, some of whomare potential artists, and the leading artists is always a bridge linking textbookknowledge and practice. University students spend most of their time learningfrom textbooks or at the library, but knowing how to do is quite different fromdoing it. The experience of and advice from those practitioners in the fields ofmusic, movie, and painting help university students to think what else theyneed to learn and what they will do in the future.What ’ s more, lectures by well -known experts will enhance the influence ofthe arts festival and the university.

Although more and more people nowadaystend to phone more t han write letters, I still don ’ t believe phones will kill letter writing in people ’ s daily communication.People communicate for different purposes and in different ways. Letters,though traditional in a way, help people express their ideas in a more exactway , without the careless tongue slips of telephone conversations. More importantly, it is long held that “ To see is to believe. ” and communication in written form is considered to be more formal than that done orally. Therefore,letters are always the preferred way of communication when it comes to formaloccasions like job application, nailing down a contract or traveling informationconfirmation. It is not entirely groundless to say that letters are still indispensable nowadays.In a word, letters have their unique features to satisfy certain communicationpurposes and will therefore never be replaced by phones in people ’ s daily life.

Some believe that students should spend the whole day on academicstudies. While others believe that extracurricular activities should be a requiredpart of every school day. Both ways have their advantages. But I prefer thelatter. The following are my reasons.As a student, our main task is to concentrate on our academic study. Wehave to attend classes, reading books and doing assignments. Only by workinghard can we learn our courses well. But I don ’ t think we should spend every hourand minute on academic study. A proverb says, “All work and no play makesJack a dull boy.” Without goodealth and strong body, how can we improve ourstudy 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 andbeneficial. There are various forms of exercise. My favorite one is football. I playfootball with my classmates for one hour every afternoon. After a day’ s hard wor k, 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 makefull use of our time. Instead it does help us study more efficiently. We can begood at learning as well as extracurricular activities. So I suggest that studentsdo extracurricular activities along with their academic studies.(277 words)。
