1 A Letter to a Student I helped
Dear Zhang Hua,
I am so excited to receive your letter telling me that you have passed the college entrance examination and will soon go to a local university. All your efforts and hard-work are eventually paid back. Congratulations.
I do hope you will study hard in the future because knowledge and skills are of great significance in today’s world. For one thing, the world is developing so fast, we can only keep up with its pace by acquiring more knowledge to broaden our horizons. For another, the development of our country is in great need for people with knowledge and skills. Besides, only those with specialized skills are able to win in the competitive job market.
Once you are armed with knowledge and skills, you are sure to realize your dreams. I would like to suggest that you try all means to acquire knowledge and skills in college and put them into practice.
Sincerely yours,
Wang Peng
2.How Should We Spend Our College Time
How should college students spend their time? Opinions vary from person to person. Some are willing to devote time and energy to extracurricular activities. They argue that taking part in some school activities can help them broaden their horizons and develop skills of cooperation and communication, which will benefit their future career. Besides, they believe that “all work and no play make Jack a dull boy”, so it is necessary to participate in some school activities to recharge their batteries.
Others, however, prefer spending their time in studying. In their views, the competition of modern society is becoming increasingly intense.They must study hard to acquire as much academic knowledge as possible, and those who have extensive knowledge will have a brighter future.
As everything has its strength and weakness, spending college life is no exception. I hold the view that these two ideas are both correct. Surely, students should study hard, but school activities are also very important. Therefore, I suggest that college students learn how to arrange college time. On one hand, they should study hard; on the other hand, they should spare(抽出) some time to participate in school activities.
3. How to Get Along with Roommates
Last Sunday, two of my roommates got into a serious fight because of a trifle. Now they are still very angry with each other and no one wants to apologize first.
The story is not rare. Nowadays, many college students are not able to get along with their roommates, which does considerable harm to both their college lives and their future development. On one hand, quarreling and fighting ruin the friendly atmosphere, making dorms unpleasant places to stay in; on the other hand, if a person is not able to establish good relationships with his roommates, it is hard for him to develop other interpersonal relationships which are important for his future development.
Therefore, I advise those students to take it seriously.And the following are some of my
suggestions. First, respect your roommates, thus you can also win respect from them. Second, if your roommates encounter difficulties, try to help them out, so that they will appreciate your help. Finally, don not talk about other’s affairs behind their backs. These are certainly not the only points you should pay attention to. But I am sure if you are willing to follow them, you will get along well with your roommates.
4. A Memorable Trip
Last summer vacation, my friends and I went to Huangshan for a tour. It’s a trip full of surprises to every one of us.
The 21 hours of train traveling was tiring; however, we all became excited at the announcement of the arrival of Huangshan station. We decided to climb Huangshan the next day, because we were warned it would be very energy-consuming. The first part of the climbing was boring, with stairs after stairs ahead. Hardly had we arrived at the first resting spot when it started to pour, and our hearts sank. Surprisingly, half an hour later, the sun emerged from the clouds. As the sky turned bright blue, we were amazed at the spectacular view of the mountain range, sea of clouds, and pine trees in the fog. All exhaustion vanished all of a sudden(突然地), and we were jumping and cheering. For the rest of the trip, we were deeply impressed by more fantastic rocks and fancy pine trees.
I started to understand better the saying that life is full of things beyond any expectation, just like the trip we had at Huangshan. Splendid views were waiting for us after our great efforts.
5. Competition or Cooperation
Recently a debate has been arising upon competition or cooperation, which should be stressed in college students’ education. Opinions vary greatly.
Some people claim that college students should learn how to compete. From their point of view, competition exists everywhere in our modern society and people can hardly avoid it. Thus a course of competition is needed to help college students build up enough courage to face up to all difficulties they may encounter in the workplace or in their personal lives.
However, others believe it is more useful to learn how to cooperate. Their opinion is that nowadays it is hard for a person to succeed if he lacks team spirit or does not know how to cooperate with others. For example, if a man wants to win a football game, he has to cooperate with his playmates. He can’t win by himself. So learning how to cooperate with others should be stressed .
As for myself, I believe that both competition and cooperation are indispensable(二者缺一不可) for leading a normal social life. Because in most circumstances, we can see competition goes hand in hand with cooperation. Therefore, both essential skills should be put forward to educate college students.
6. Seeking Help
Confronted with difficulties, we will naturally seek help from people around us. We will turn to our parents when we need their help to support our schooling and daily necessities. We will seek help from our teachers for learning problems, and discussing all sorts of questions and doubts. Certainly, we will ask our friends for help, sharing bitter as well as happy experience.
Recently, I learn from others that one of my classmates is in trouble, since his family is in poverty and can hardly support him to finish college. I suggest that he reports his situation to the school, especially the finance aiding office. The school must have relevant policy to help students with financial problems. Secondly, he should let the teacher in charge of his class know about his situation so that both teachers and students around him can offer a hand in some ways. Of course, he can also become more independent to aid himself by taking a part-time job at leisure time.
7. How Should We Treat Wild Animals?
As is known in the table, the period of 1980-2004 witnessed great changes in the population of both chirus(藏羚,长角羚) and pet dogs in a big city in China. While the number of pet dogs remarkably speeded up by 50 times under the care of human beings, the number of chirus sharply decreased from 1 million to 100 thousand just due to man’s greedy hunting for money.
What is revealed in the table shocks me greatly because I think we human beings are placing ourselves into a dangerous situation by this behavior. As is known to many people, to sustain the development of humankind, we must maintain the balance of ecological system to which every species makes its own contribution. The excessive killing of(过度捕猎) some species will undoubtedly destroy the ecological balance in the long run and thus endanger the existence of human beings ourselves. Therefore, I suggest that every individual devote efforts to keep the diversity of animals and that we protect wild animals in the way we take care of our pet dogs. Otherwise, man will not only destroy nature, but also end his own life.
8. Rent Off Campus
Recently, a piece of news caught my sight reporting that some universities forbad undergraduate students to rent off campus. The news arouses arguments among my friends who present varied opinions. Some who are for the regulation claims that undergraduate students should live on campus where they can concentrate on their study and college life. While, those who are against the regulation hold that the university has no right to forbid the students to rent off campus .When they do so, students can live independently and enjoy more freedom.
Personally, I don’t think it advisable for the university to set such a regulation; however, I do believe undergraduate students can benefit from renting on campus. First of all, no one can deny that it is far cheaper and convenient to live on campus. In addition, students won’t be distracted by lots of housework.. What’s more, there are a variety of activities at evenings on campus, through which students can show their talents or exchange ideas or view with their teachers. In short, renting on campus has more advantages over renting off campus.

2012大学英语四级考试写作辅导 记叙文的思路与练习 记叙文是以叙述人物的经历和事物的发展变化过程为主要表现形式的一种文体。记叙文既可以以写人为主，又可以以写事为主。写记叙文要注意记叙文的“六大要素”即： 时间（When）——何时发生，有没有具体时间？ 地点（Where）——何地发生，有没有地点变化？ 人物（Who）——何人参与，谁是主角？ 事件（What）——发生了什么，有何特点？ 原因（Why）——事件的起因？ 结果（How）——事件的经过及结局？ 一般说来，在一篇记叙文中这六大要素是缺一不可的。 记叙文的思路就围绕这六大要素充分展开。 【例】四级考试中，只出现过一次专门的记叙文体裁的写作，即“An Early Morning Walk”（1988.6.），2003年6月出现过包含记叙文的作文，即“An Eye-Witness Account of a Traffic Accident”。 对于“An Early Morning Walk”，知道命题要求后，我们就要开始构思了。 When：题目已规定了是“清晨”，在这个时候，“我”去散步。 Where：到哪儿散步？去公园？在校园里？在街上（街上空气不好，还是不去！）。 Who：在公园里看到晨练的人：中老年人、年轻人、小孩子;在校园里看到读书背单词的学生。 What：人们热火朝天地做操，随音乐跳舞，打球，等等。 Why：清晨空气清新，适合锻炼;一日之际在于晨，背背书，读读单词。 当然，由这个题目可以令人想到很多东西，因篇幅所限，我们做了删减。
An Early Morning Walk One morning I got up very early，and everything around was very quiet. The sun had just risen，shining brilliantly and everything seemed to be covered with a layer of golden silk. There were only some birds singing occasionally in the tall trees. I strolled along the street toward the park，breathing the fresh air and feeling extremely happy. When I arrived at the park，I found，to my surprise，that there were so many people there. Men and women，boys and girls，all were enjoying themselves in their various activities. Some were doing morning exercises，some were playing badminton and some old people were having their tea while talking to each other cheerfully. I wandered around the park. To my delight，I found a few middle-school students talking to each other in English in one corner of the park. I went up and spoke to them in English. We soon became friends. I was very glad to find another opportunity to practice my spoken English. On the way home，I realized that an early morning walk really was good and healthful. Taking early morning walks makes one healthy and wise. 【点评】文章按照时间顺序（in chronological order），第一句话点明时间（One morning）、人物（第一人称“I”），并简要描述了早晨的特点（What was the setting），接着第二段第一句话交代地点（in the park），然后介绍公园里人们及作者的活动（What was happening），最后在文章结尾点题，即，归纳中心思想——Taking early morning walks makes one healthy and wise. 仅仅189个单词既满足了记叙文的“六大要素”，又有明确的中心思想和生动的细节，行文方式符合要求。 1. 以“A Most Unlucky Day”为题，想想该怎么写。注意：题目的中心词是“unlucky”。 When： Where： Who： What： Why： How： 参考思路

大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility （能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt（易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s
四级写作范文必背经典 大学英语四级范文背诵(01) COLLEGE STUDENTS SHOULD ATTEND PHYSICAL EXERCISE Physical exercise is a necessary part of college life. However, still some college students do not like to attend sports activities, they think those activities waste their time and influence their study.
