在日常学习、工作和生活中,大家对作文都再熟悉不过了吧,借助作文可以宣泄心中的情感,调节自己的心情。相信很多朋友都对写作文感到非常苦恼吧,
A host of people expecially teachers think it is necessary to hold spoken English test. They regard if someone want to master English well, he had to say English fluently. Firstly, through such a test, which can motivate students plunge into learning spoken English. Secondly, China is a competing society. Pehaps you will beat your rival obtaining your job which you are satisfied with by saying fluent English. Lastly, China is expericining reform and opening-up. Many foreigners come into China. If you want to communicate with them,you had to grasp spoken English well. All these points are indispensable to holding spoken English test.
Some people ,however, take a different attitude. Spoken English test is regarded as being unnecessary. For one thing, they think China has not a good language circumstance to practice spoken English. For another, In daily life, most of us have a touch with Chinese. It is unnecessary for us to communicate with each other in using English.
As far as I am concerned, I am in favor of holding spoken English test, which will benifit students forever. If you can say English fluently,you will pround of yourself. So I decide to study spoken English hard and grasp every opportunities to practice my spoken English.
In most schools and colleges the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.
The most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively. Examinations do not motivate a student to seek more knowledge, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to study consistently throughout the semester, but to induce cramming during exam week. Examinations also lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers themselves are often judged by examination results, they are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. And no subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations.
Actually, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students' academic development. If that's the case, why can't we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
在大多数学校和学院,考试是用� 虽然它的工作效率相当高,它的'副作用也是巨大的。
最不良的影响是考试鼓励学习习惯不好。由于考试分数是他学习成绩的唯一标准,学生被机械地机械地记住而不是创造性地思考。考试不能促使学生去追求更多的知识,反而限制了他们的阅读;他们没有使他学习整个学期,但填鸭式教学在考试周。考试也降低了教学标准。由于教师往往根据考试结果来判断,他们往往通过考试结果来判断,他们是减少训练学生的考试技巧。没有人能成功地被教导成功仅仅通过被接触的意图来参加考试。
实际上,我们中的几个人都承认,考试能为学生的学术发展做出任何重要的贡献。如果是这样的话,为什么我们不能做一个改变,设计一些比考试更有效、更可靠的方法呢?

Free admissions to museums
1、越来越多的博物馆现在免费向公众开放,目的是。
2、有的
3、在我看来。
本次四级考试作文题目较为简单,而且对于考生来说较为熟悉,与20xx年1月的四级考试的作文题目大学校园能否向游人开放极其类似,表面上属于社会类话题,实际上属于社会热点现象,但是从深层次分析,依然与我们大学生有密切关系,话题难度不大。进一步体现了作文题目的校园性与社会性的有机结合,还是侧重对于考生基本功的考查和测试。下面就题材和体裁两方面进行点评。
具体来说,首先在题材上,没有违背四级考试常考的与大学生生活相关,兼顾社会热点的原则,也在我们点点英语四级教学团队的授课范围之中,尤其是我们在临考前给出的冲刺预测作文中的句型和短语全部可以用在本次作文中,但又体现了细微变化,从上次四级考试的。关注白色污染,到这次的关注博物馆免费开放来看,命题重点悄悄的由原来侧重于校园中的学习类话题和校园中的学生的课余娱乐方面的话题向与大学生的社会生活有关的话题转移,这个话题对于广大考生来说并不陌生,当代大学生几乎都有去过博物馆的经历,肯定对于本话题有话可说,但是是否能顺利完成,依然取决于考生平时对英语中各类表达的积累和熟练程度,这比押题来得更重要,更有价值,这一点值得未来的考生注意。
大学为学生提供了一个学习、成长以及逐渐发现自己潜力的环境。有些学生太过局限于学习——下一个考试、论文和作业——另一些人却积极参加参加各种课外活动。参与这些活动对学业、择业及以后的生活都有很大好处。
课外活动对参与者的学业有最直接的好处。适当的参与各种运动、俱乐部及义工对于学生来说实际上是一种很好的日常减压方式。,没有压力的学生自然而然地会更快乐更健康,他们在学习过程中会更有效率,获得更好的成绩。参加课外活动也有助于学生毕业后的工作。雇佣者在招聘人才时不再青睐于那些仅仅平均总成绩搞得学生。许多公司在挑选招聘岗位最适合的人选时,也会把应聘者参加过的活动考虑在内,因为课外活动也可以提高学生的沟通能力、领导能力及协作能力,这些都是大学生将来在工作中想去的成功所需要的重要技能。最后但同样重要的是,参加课外活动的学生会知道如何过一种和谐而充实的生活。俗话说,“只工作不玩耍会让Jack变成一个笨孩子”。换句话说,那些恒天只知道工作学习的人会变得无聊、没有灵感及对生活缺乏激情。课外活动会让学生喜欢上各种运动、业余爱好及社区服务,会让他们变得更加健康、完善。
学业固然重要,但把的时间都消耗在书本里面,不必要也不明智。大学生抽出一部分时间和精力,投身到课外活动当中,这样对学业、事业甚至以后的生活都有好处。

For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the following question. Suppose you are the environment minister of your country. What are you going to do to solve the air pollution in recent years?You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
My plan to solve the air pollution.
The air pollution has become a serious problem in recent years. If not solved,it will cause many health problems to our citizens. As the environment minister,I do feel obliged to take some measures to tackle this problem. Here’s my plan.
In the first place,I urge that cars be restricted based on the odd and even number rule. It can be seen that the air condition at weekends is much better than that on weekdays,one of the reasons for which is the decreasing number of cars on the road. Therefore,to limit the cars during the weekdays is a good solution.
Second,I would like to abandon the barbecue stalls. Actually,it’s not healthy. Besides,the barbecue smoke also pollutes the air,so it’s better to abandon the barbecue stalls.
Last but not least,I strongly recommend that relative laws be made to inspect those factories which produce excessive smoke,especially those steel plants,organic chemical plants,and coking plants.
The Discomfort of Silence
Many Americans find silence uncomfortable. They will murmur on to fill any quietness if it extends for more than a moment. Students often study with their radios singing;housewives leave televisions on for the companionship of sound even though they may be working in some other room. If you are silent for long periods,they will do their best to draw you out or will ask if you feel all right or if there is anything that they can do to help you. Sometimes silence can be puzzling, however; if Americans disagree with what you are saying, many of them will remain quiet. This may not suggest agreement; often it only means that they consider it impolite to argue further.

这幅漫画展现了一个非常令人欣慰的情景。一个老妇人刚刚从一家便利店中买了一些东西,在她正要离开的时候,店主跑出来还给她多付的两块钱。尽管这点钱数目不多,但是我相信这个老妇人一定对店主的诚实留下了深刻的印象。
毫无疑问这幅漫画意在指出当今社会一个普遍且严重的社会问题,即商界缺乏诚信原则。具体而言,许多商人一心想着谋取更多的利润,而忘记了他们应该为顾客提供的产品和服务。因此就出现了诸如假冒产品、欺诈服务、无法兑现的诺言等。相反,这幅图中好心的店主却在工作的每一个细节中实践诚信的原则。她的态度让顾客感觉到她的服务和产品是一流的,这就保证了她拥有越来越多的顾客、更好的名声和信誉。
这个店主的行为正是我们应该在商界中努力实践的。这是因为,诚信不仅仅给了顾客暂时的满意感,而更能够建立长期的顾客信任。而后者是市场扩张和事业成功的关键因素之一。

Olympic torch relay can represents the Olympic Spirit of participation, persistence and courage. It is a very important part in the course of the Olympic Games. To me, Olympic torch bearers should have such qualifications: Firstly, they are craze about the sports because only those who cherish great enthusiasm about sports can be devoted to the task of Olympic torch relay. Secondly, they should be persistent in coping with any difficulties no matter how hard or no matter that kind. Thirdly, they should have a strong sense of responsibility.
As far as I am concerned, to be an Olympic torch bearer has been my long dream. On one hand, I am a person of optimistic, aspiring and confident; on the other hand, I have a strong sense of love, responsibility, and courage. Furthermore, I love sports. So I believe that through such an opportunity of being an Olympic torch bearer in 20xx Beijing Olympic Games, the special experience of participation would furnish me with the Olympic spirit of never-giving up to get over all obstacles in my life.
To swim the English Channel takes at least nine hours. Its hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the channel takes only twenty minutes as long as youre not held up at the airport, but its an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft if you dont mind the noise and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise, you can go by boat, if you remember sea-sickness pills. All these means of transport have their problems, and the weary traveler often dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car. Not possible, you say. Well, wait a minute people are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge. This time , the great London Council is looking into the possibility of building a channel link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only.
Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain realizing the need for links with Europe as a result of joining EEC? Well, perhaps. The main reason , though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of Londons discussed stimulate trade and revitalise the port, and would ,make London a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they are still warm!
The World Population Explosion
The human race has experienced a consistent increase in population since the beginning of its history. Famine and disease have done little to offset(抵消)this steady increase. Too many people are added annually to the population of the world. So both the causes of population increase and the results of having more people are worth careful study.
Culture evolution is the major factor responsible for population increase. Early in human development, people invented tools to hunt animals. Later they built shelters to protect themselves. Step by step, they made life easier. As a result, fewer died from natural forces, such as harsh climate and disease.
In the past, when population grew, there was unexplored territory to inhabit. But now, almost all the habitable land has been explored.
The world's population may reach 8.7 billion in 2033. It is clear that world population is a serious issue that needs careful attention. Human beings are unique to solve problems through cultural evolution.(发展) Facing the world population explosion in the near future. We must carry out the birth control program in order to save the mankind and save the world.

广告是否让人民变得不一样

Advertisementsdiscourageusfrombeingdifferentindividualsandmakeusbecomewhattheywantustobeandlookthesame.Doyouagreeordisagree?
广告阻止我 你同意或不同意吗?
思路解析:
1、广告让人们变得个性化。举例,大量的广告标语,如“唯一的”,“特别的”,“最好的”,“不一样的”,都是在暗示人们去购买那些不那么大众化的产品来突出自我。
2、但是,广告的基本功能却是帮助大公司垄断市场。举例,投入巨资打造的闪亮广告能不断巩固那些大品牌在大众中的形象,这吸引了越来越多的人来购买同样的产品。相反,那些小公司却因为缺乏资金做广告而陷入破产边缘。最终,整个市场会被单一品牌垄断。
3、广告的另外一个作用是制造流行趋势,这刺激了人们对同一个时尚进行盲目的购买。举例,在大厂商的广告诱惑之下,很多的人们总是购买同一个著名品牌的衣服,鞋子,包包,这让她们的外表缺乏区别。
