2008年英语大作文范文

2008年英语大作文范文英文：In 2008, I was a freshman in college, and it was a year full of challenges, growth, and unforgettable memories. One of the biggest challenges I faced was adjusting to the new environment and the heavy workload. I had to juggle between attending classes, studying for exams, and participating in extracurricular activities. It was overwhelming at first, but I gradually learned to manage my time effectively and prioritize my tasks.Another memorable experience from 2008 was the opportunity to study abroad in China. It was a life-changing experience for me as I had the chance to immerse myself in a different culture, learn a new language, and make friends from all over the world. I remember feeling both excited and nervous as I boarded the plane to China, but looking back, I am grateful for the personal growth and valuable lessons I gained from that experience.中文：2008年，我是大学新生，那一年充满了挑战、成长和难忘的回忆。

2008英语一大作文解析

2008英语一大作文解析Possible essay:Analysis of the 2008 English Language Exam and Its Implications for Language Learning。

The 2008 English Language Exam, a national test forhigh school students in China, has attracted widespread attention and debate since its release. While some students and teachers praised the exam for its fairness, relevance, and creativity, others criticized it for its difficulty, ambiguity, and bias. In this essay, I will analyze the main features of the exam, examine some of the arguments for and against it, and explore its implications for language learning.The 2008 English Language Exam consists of three parts: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and writing. Each part has multiple sections and tasks that testdifferent skills, such as vocabulary, grammar, syntax,inference, interpretation, and expression. The exam also includes some innovative elements, such as multimedia materials, authentic texts, and open-ended questions, that require students to apply their knowledge and creativity in real-life contexts. For example, in the writing section, students are asked to write an article on a given topic, such as environmental protection, cultural diversity, or social responsibility, and to use their own ideas, examples, and arguments to support their views. This task not only tests their writing skills, but also their critical thinking, cultural awareness, and social conscience.The 2008 English Language Exam has received mixed reactions from students and teachers. Some of them appreciate the exam for its positive aspects. They arguethat the exam reflects the current trends and demands of English language learning, which emphasize the integrationof language skills, knowledge, and culture. They alsobelieve that the exam is fair and objective, as it tests a wide range of abilities and provides clear criteria for evaluation. Moreover, they think that the exam is challenging and stimulating, as it encourages students toexplore new topics, express their own opinions, and apply their creativity. For example, a student who scored high in the writing section said, "I enjoyed writing the essay because it allowed me to express my ideas freely and to show my personality. I also learned some new words and phrases from the reading materials, which helped me to enrich my vocabulary and to improve my writing style."However, some students and teachers criticize the exam for its negative aspects. They argue that the exam is too difficult and unrealistic, as it requires students to perform tasks that are beyond their level or interest. They also complain that the exam is ambiguous and subjective, as it leaves room for different interpretations and preferences. Moreover, they think that the exam isstressful and unfair, as it puts too much pressure on students and favors those who have more resources or opportunities. For example, a student who scored low in the listening section said, "I couldn't understand some of the questions because the speakers spoke too fast or used unfamiliar words. I also felt nervous and distracted because the exam room was noisy and crowded. I think theexam should be more user-friendly and accessible to all students, regardless of their background or ability."The 2008 English Language Exam has several implications for language learning. Firstly, it shows that English language learning is becoming more complex and diversified, as it involves not only linguistic skills, but also cognitive, social, and cultural skills. Therefore, language learners need to develop a broader and deeper understanding of the language and its contexts, and to acquire a more flexible and adaptive approach to learning. Secondly, it suggests that English language learning is becoming more interactive and communicative, as it requires learners to interact with authentic materials, situations, and people. Therefore, language learners need to engage in more authentic and meaningful communication, and to develop a more confident and effective communicative competence. Thirdly, it implies that English language learning is becoming more global and inclusive, as it involves not only English-speaking countries, but also non-English-speaking countries and cultures. Therefore, language learners need to develop a more intercultural and pluralistic awareness,and to appreciate the diversity and richness of different languages and cultures.In conclusion, the 2008 English Language Exam is a significant event in the history of English languagelearning in China, as it reflects the changing nature and expectations of language learning, and as it challenges students and teachers to rethink their approaches and goals. While the exam has its strengths and weaknesses, itprovides a valuable opportunity for language learners to improve their language skills, knowledge, and attitudes,and to prepare themselves for the challenges and opportunities of the globalized world.。

2008高考英语满分作文

2008高考英语满分作文In the vast expanse of human endeavor, there is a force that propels individuals towards their goals with unwavering determination. This force is perseverance, a quality that has been celebrated throughout history as the cornerstone of success. It is the subject of my essay, which aims to explore the essence of perseverance and its impact on achieving one's dreams.Perseverance is often defined as the act of continuing in a course of action despite difficulty or opposition. It is the ability to endure hardship and maintain a steadfast pursuit of one's objectives. This trait is not innate; rather, it is cultivated through experience and the recognition of the value of persistence.The story of Thomas Edison is a testament to the power of perseverance. Despite numerous failures and rejections, Edison continued to experiment and innovate, ultimately leading to the invention of the light bulb. His famous quote, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work," encapsulates the spirit of perseverance. It is a reminder that setbacks are not defeats but stepping stones towards eventual triumph.In the realm of education, perseverance plays a crucial role in academic success. Students who exhibit perseverance are more likely to overcome challenges, learn from mistakes, andultimately achieve their educational goals. This is particularly true for those preparing for high-stakes exams like the college entrance examination. The journey is fraught with obstacles, but it is the unwavering resolve to succeed that can lead to the ultimate reward.Moreover, perseverance is not just a personal attribute; itis a collective force that can drive societal progress. Communities that persevere through adversity often emerge stronger and more resilient. The rebuilding of cities after natural disasters or the overcoming of economic recessions are prime examples of collective perseverance leading to positive change.In conclusion, perseverance is a vital ingredient in the recipe for success. It is the fuel that keeps the engine of ambition running, even when faced with the most daunting of challenges. Whether in the pursuit of personal goals or the collective advancement of society, perseverance is the key that unlocks the door to achievement. It is a quality that we should all strive to develop and cherish, for it is the power that can transform dreams into reality.。

托福写作：2008.3.15托福写作考试机经回顾

1、Ragtime music，能够表现年青人的活力(spirit of youth)之类的，还写piano比较能够表达这种音乐，不过由于运输原因，有时不用钢琴(出现考点)，在Garden concert和一些类似环境下，需要用钢琴，因为它共鸣，声音大。

然后还说rock’n roll什么的。

这里出现考点，女学生说了一堆后，来了一句 I just don’t get it，意思是要教授explain，还说piano 之所以当时那么受欢迎，一是因为它能与音律产生和谐，另一是因为当时它算一种财富地位的象征什么的，最后说它现在的应用在Jazz improvisation(即席创作)。

Ragtime介绍了一种流行于美国十九世纪左右名为ragtime的音乐，此乐流行是由于 paino的关系，因为两者真是太搭配了。

在那个年代，在各种场合都用钢琴。

此乐当时流行程度，不亚于时下rock,rap。

这个音乐年轻人很喜欢，因为很有激情。

除了到处演出啊，park演出等不用钢琴，因为难搬。

同时，此乐也是 jazz的前身，因为演奏者不按牌理出牌，一首曲七个人弹，弹出七种调。

这种regtime音乐影响很远啊，例如现在的jazz就是从那发展来的。

ragtime music和piano。

ragtime music在某个时期很流行(like Rock & Roll在某一时期一样)，那个年代年轻人很喜欢这种音乐。

然后讲到piano，说piano可以很好的诠释这种音乐，再加上，那个年代，大家都没钱，就去public concert or restaurant什么的听音乐，而piano声音够响亮，又和ragtime music rhythm搭配的天衣无缝，所以，两者相得益彰。

后来流动演出，piano不方便，慢慢被其他乐器替代。

有学生提出同Jazz比，教授说是jazz是improvise 的。

2、一个学生找老师因为他要写的bird migration的报告，但找不到材料，老师认为不可能(出现考点)，后来他说想写关于Aristotle关于这个题目的看法之类的，老师说她的要求是希望他们运用所学知识研究来完成paper 不要做summarization,希望他换一种想法,可以写以前的old theory, 然后现在的这些新研究如何支持或者驳斥这些theory，接着他想到可以写bird migrate at night，人们大多只看到大鸟，所以认为小鸟在大鸟的翅膀下迁徙什么的，其实新发现是因为小鸟晚上飞(通过说这个topic来验证自己理解了老师的意图)。

2008年考研英语看图作文背诵范文

2008年考研英语看图作文背诵范文（第二段）1. The cartoon describes a very common phenomenon in our society that the country children and the city students have quite opposite attitudes torwards edcuation. Owing to the backward development of country economy, most of the rural families live in poverty. Parents can’t afford their children to study in school. Consequently, a considerable number of rural children have to drop out of school and help their parents do farm work everyday. So they are eager to study in school to change their awkward destiny. On the contrary, city students are confronting increasingly pressure and homework. Urban students have to study till midnight everyday and have no time to relax. As a result, they hate to go to school.2. It seems that the cartoonist is sending message about the significance of rational regulation. Initially, it can improve the living standard of citizens’. Nowadays, increasing number of inhabitants moved into spacious apartments. Private cars are entering into accumulating number of ordinary families. Also, reasonble regulation could strengthen the comprehensive national power of our country. This year, BeiJing China will hold 2008 olympic games and the olympic dream of 1.3 billion chinese people will be fulfilled. Still, it can progress the international status of our country. Now china is a member of WTO and plays an indispensible role in international buisness affairs.3. Simple as the picture is, it does reveal certain disturbing social phenomenon in our society that a great number of teenagers neglected psychological quality and morality but just focused on main subjects. Perhaps the fundamental factor is that the current education system in China is exam-oriented, the only criteria to judge a student is the marks of their exams, which results in enormous students neglected other essential traits for their wholesome development. For instance, Majiajue who was the student of YunNan university, finally got enrolled into this one of the best universities in China through hard work. Unfortunately, due to the lack of healthy psychological quality, he can’t put up with the laughter from his friends and teachers, finally killed all his roommates and ruined his career.4. It seems that the cartoonist is sending message about the significance of protecting ancient architecture and civilization.Initially, a number of historical sites will exert a great fascination on enormous visitors from home and abroad. Every year, a considerable number of overseas tourists came to Beijing just for a sight of forbidden city, summer palace and the Great Wall, which definitely promoted the development of local economy and offered a great number of working opportunities for citizens. Still, with a number of historical sites, it will help our descendents to better understand the history of our country and be more patriotic.5. The purpose of this picture is to show us that due attention has to be paid to commercial credibility. Initailly, the advocation of credibilty will enhance the confidence of our consumers and win mutual trust and respect. Hence, it will win a great number of customers for us, which definitely improve the development of enterprises and gain more profits. Otherwise, our enterprises are bound to encounter embarassing situation. Take SK-Ⅱas an example, they exaggerated the quality of the products which is harmful for our skin-care, which result in most of consumers lost their confidence on SK-Ⅱand never buy it. What’s more, the prevalence of commercial credibility will build up a harmonious society without any frauds.6. There is no doubt that its far-reaching significance imports that rational use of internet is of great significance. We can gain information through browsing healthy websites and keep up with the current affairs. For example, we can visit CCTV webpage everyday and gain the latest news promptly. Also, we can relax ourselves after a day of heavy job and make friends thru chatting online. The most favorite thing to entertain myself after job is to chat with my friends online, which makes me feel so relaxed. Still, the reasonable utilization of internet will enable you to stay away from some blue and illegal websites which are detrimental for wholesome development for young generation.7. It seems that the cartoonist is sending message about the significance of public morality. Initially, provocation of public morality among citizens will definitely create a harmonious living environment for us. If everyone obey the traffic rules, the rate of car accident will decline sharply. If everyone doesn’t spit on the ground, our living environment will be more beautiful and clean. If everyone do reach out their hand to help those people who are in need, this world will be a better place for us. Just like an old saying goes“love makes the world go around”. Still, Proclaiming the public morality will win the public respect for you.8. There is no doubt that the purpose of the drawing is to reveal us social morality is of great significance. On the one side, the proclaim of social morality will provide a harmonious living environment for public. If we all give our seats to the aged citizens or the pregnant, we will win the respect from them and make them feel quite warm about this world. On the other hand, the moral deeds of citizens, esp of the parents will exert a postive influence on their children, which will setup a good example for young generation. When they grow up, theywill also reach out their hands to help people out. I can find no better illustration than this one, Leifeng, who was known by all chinese for always helping others out of difficulties without leaving name, is great moral example for current chinese young generation.9. The exaggerative and impressive portrayal is to reveal us that a number of adults try to mislead the teenagers. Why does the phenomenon always happen? in my opinion, the most obvious reason is the pursuit of interest and drive of money. It’s not uncommon to spot this in our society that a great number of internet Bar owners try to seduce school students to play internet game after school, even during the school time, which will definitely affact the studies of those students and it’s more likely to lead them to astray. As a result, those illegal deeds exerted a negative influence on the wholesome development of young generation.10. Simple as the picture is, it does reveal certain disturbing social phenomenon in a contemporary society with a great number of scholars copied others’works in their books. Just because they are eager to become well-known in their fields and acknowledged by the public in a short time. They, esp some young scholars, have no choice but to refer to some privileged scholars’works. Just like GuoJingMing, a newly emerged young writer, copied others’books in his new novel, which gave rise to the criticism about this plagiarism among public.。

2008年考研英语大作文范文(文都名师徐绽)What the drawing is trying to portray is that two handicapped people are depending on each other while the crutch is left behind them. The picture seems to be humorous and preposterous but thought –provoking on second thoughts, which serves to remind us that cooperation is of utmost significance and without it, the society we live in can not going smoothly.Undoubtedly, the purpose of the drawing is to illustrate that due attention has to be attracted to the fact that cooperation is of great value in reality. With more emphasis put on “building a harmonious society”, people in mounting numbers begin to realize that we should serve each other. Obviously, cooperation is pervasive in nearly every field of our society, which, in a certain sense, should be given deep consideration. It is commonly acknowledged that each member of the team, during the game, must cooperate with his teammates, andotherwise, they would lose the game no matter how skillful each individual player might be.The vivid picture, to my mind, is urging us to cultivate the awareness of the public that helping each other has always been the traditional virtue of our nation. As the central task of our country is to “build a well-off society in all-round way, more efforts should be made to strengthen the cooperation of people. Only in this way, can we lead a harmonious and happy life.。

2008新托福TOEFL-iBT独立写作指导（一）1

例⼀：Topic:Some young adults want independence from their parents as soon as possible. Other young adults prefer to live with their families for a longer time. Which of these situations do you think is better? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.Topic NotesThis topic, in effect, equates independence with living apart from one's family. Both broader and narrower definitions of independence and “non-independence” are acceptable as possible responses to the given topic, even though a majority of writers will write to the dichotomy presented by the prompt. Some writers take a general overview and their choices and examples are general and “philosophical.” Others use specific personal examples or personal narratives in their approach to the topic. Some writers lake a specific side of the issue, and others approach the topic b\ discussing conditions under which it is better to move away and conditions under which a young adult might do better to stay longer with the family. All these approaches arc valid, on-topic responses and are judged by the raters on their merits according to the scoring guidelines for this task type.Score 5 Essay—Sample 1Every young adults will grow and live apart from their parents to form their own families.The ages for those young adults to be independent depends on each person. Some people may have to live longer with their parents and some others may not. This essay will discuss the issue of independent life and living with their families for a longer time.Most young adults prefer to have a seperate or independent life from their parents or families as soon as possible. This is because they have a strong urge for freedom in doing what they desire. But in fact many of them fail. This should not be surprising since often they are actually not ready mentally although they are physically ready. It is widely understood that to live independently requires a lot of energy and Js not easy at all. In this twenty first century, people may need more and more preparation because competition is increasing rapidly. An observation shows that many University graduated students are unemployed. The refore, they will not be able to support and fulfill their necessities.So living independently at an early age is not suitable for all young adults, some young adults may need to take more time to prepare themselves before going out to struggle. Young adults need to be ready to support themselves. Taking time to get more education and living with their families for a longer time may lead them to a better independent life because they will be well prepared for the hard-life outside. Still, living with their families for *too* long will not be a good idea because they could get to used to it and tend to be less independent.The time to live independently depends on the person himself. He or she must decide whether they are ready to leave their parents to have an independent life or not. The decision will vary from one person to another. A person should judge that he is capable of fulfilling his needs without being dependent on his parents; this indicates that he is ready for his independent life. Otherwise he might need to stay longer with his parents.Rater's CommentsThis well-developed essay meets all the criteria for earning a score of 5. The writer develops the topic through a detailed discussion of independence and of the suitability of living independently. The essay is unified and coherent. Sentence structure is varied, especially in paragraphs 2 and 3. The writer does not use high-level vocabulary, but word choice is correct throughout. There are minor errors (“University graduated students,” “fulfill their necessities”), but these in no way interrupt the flow or meaning of the essay.Score 5 Essay—Sample 2Independence! Who doesn't want independece? But the bigger question is how much of an independence is being discussed here? Generally, when teenagers grow up, their needs and habit of living change. Some would like their parents to be in control of the major decisions of their lives, while on the other hand, some would not like their parents to be involved in any sort of decision making process of their lives. In my opinion, the young adults should always consult their parents as their guides. I will try to demonstrate my point in the following paragraphs.Let's assume a teenager grows up into a young adult. Now a major decision that he/she might have had to make was to what college/university they were going to attend. If we assume that the person seek complete independence from the early age, then they are generally going to make the decision themselves. But even if they made this desicion by themself, what is the probability that this is the best desicion. We all would agree that the best lesson learned is from a mistake, but why even let that happen? This is the most important decision they would have to make so far, and if they don't ask around, if they don't look at the wider picture, how are they supposed to end up at their very best opportunity? This is what is known as a making/breaking point because this decision of theirs can make or break a very powerful potential future.Now, suppose they passed the first make/break point. Then comes another one when they are going to marry. Normally, in the western culture, the man and the woman choose their marriage partners themselves, so this is not much of an important issue here. But, what about the cultures that predominantly have arranged marriages? In that case, choosing a husband or a wife could be a huge decision, because generally the marriages are not as easily broken as in the western culture. So, whenit comes to this point, one would definately want to know their parents thinking and their previous experiance. This could come in very handy when one has a choice to make.To sum it up, it is very good idea to ask for parents guides, and is never a bad a idea to give up a part of independence for a better future.Rater's CommentsThis essay has a rather informal, conversational tone and an “argument” that is coherently an (fully developed. Sentence structure is varied throughout, and the writer consistently demonstrate~ command of language and English idioms, especially by using various informal expression~ (“Let's assume,” “we would all agree,” “can make or beak” “come in very handy”). The essay meets all the criteria for a score of 5.Score 4 Essay—Sample 1There are different opinion regarding how long young adults should live with their parents. Some argues that the sooner a young adults become independence is the better while other think that it will be beneficial if they can live with their parents longer. In my opinion both have positive and negative sides. This essay will provide arguments for each case.Some young adults favor for leaving their parents soon. They want to live free, independence from their parents' supervision. The good thing about being independence as soon as possible is that they can learn how to live by themselves. They must think how to support their living, otherwise they will still need the help of their parents and can not be independence. Living in their own will teach them how to be tough in facing real difficulties. But, staying away from parents soon could also lead to negative behaviour if the young adults can not control themselves. They might think that they can do whatever they want with the friends they like. If their friends give bad influence on them, no one will warn them and they can have problems. Thus, I will agree for young adults to become independence as soon as possible if they are already mature enough and able to control themselves.Parents can help to judge this before they release them.In the case of young adult is not mature enough, I believe that staying with parents will be better. Parents can provide guidance and help when their children need it. But, if the children is become too dependent on their parents, they will have difficulties in their older lives of becoming independece as the parents will not be available for them anymore. So parents in some way should teach their children about independence, for example by giving them responsibilities that should be handled without supervision. Based on those arguments, I would like to say that either way could be better that the other depending on the maturity of young adults themselves. If they are mature and have selfcontrol then living independently is better, otherwise they better stay with their parents until ready.Rater's CommentsThe points made in this essay are thoroughly developed and concretely supported. The essay is well organized and coherent, with a nice flow.
