2011四级作文预测:感恩
On Cultivating the Sense of Gratitude
On college campuses across the nation, there is a noticeable phenomenon that we cannot afford to ignore: far too many young college students lack the sense of gratitude, one of the countless traditional virtues of this ancient land with a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years. These young adults were not and are not aware of the huge importance of expressing gratitude to those who once helped them, from teachers to parents and so forth。
Personally, I deem that the root cause of students without a graceful heart is that they receive an education not valuing the moral sphere. I strongly believe that joint efforts from folks across society are the final remedy for this social headache. As young university students of the new era, we should make our own contributions to this cause. Imagine a world without the sense of gratitude. This kind of world is doomed to failure. Simply put, we should join our hands to heighten our awareness of fostering a graceful heart. Only in this way can we build our society into a harmonious one. My fellow students, I beg you to act from now on。

I am writing you this letter to show my keen interest in the post of assistant manager which you advertised in yesterday's China Daily for, as is indicated in the enclosed resume, my major and experiences closely parallel your requirement.
I have always been a top student in my specialized area, biochemistry. I took several other courses in my spare time and excelled in all of them due to my hard work. I am sure such courses as British and American literature and culture, business management and statistics will lend me an edge in the fierce competition in the job market.

In the due process teamwork spirit has been enhanced and my interpersonal skills improved.

11年英语四级作文预测:农民工
Why Are There So Many Rural Laborers in Big Cities? 1. 近年来越来越多的民工涌入大城市 2. 产生这一社会现象的原因 【范文】
For a number of years, there has been a steady rise in the number of rural laborers who flood into big cities. Many men work on construction sites, while many women work as dishwashers in restaurants or babysitters for city dwellers. Three reasons, in my mind, can account for this social phenomenon.
First and foremost, the limited land can no longer produce enough crops for an ever-increasing rural population. In the second place, there are far more opportunities in big cities—rural laborers dream of earning money through hard work. Last but by no means least, many of them want to live permanently in big cities, because they admire the way of living there, and wish their children to receive good education.
I firmly believe that if we try our best to create a healthy social atmosphere, rural laborers will make greater contribution to our nation. 【点评】
本题谈论的是一种社会现象。第一段首句引入某一现象,第二句举例说明,第三句是个过渡句,引起下面解释原因段落的第二段;第三段是简洁的结束语,其中的宾语从句嵌套一个状语从句。
范文首先指出大量农民工涌入大城市这一现象,并引出第二段所阐述的三个原因。首先,农村有限的土地不能满足日益增长的人口消费。其次,大城市有更多的工作机会。最后,农民工向往大城市的生活,想永远居住在大城市。末段总结指出,如果创造一个健康的社会环境,农民工就可以为国家做出更大的贡献。
第一段第二句中的construction site表示“建筑工地”,babysitter表示“帮人看孩子的人”。第二段第一点中的rural指“农村的”;第三点中的permanently和admire分别指“永久地”和“羡慕”,receive education指“接受教育”。

2
beyond doubt that low carbon lifestyle contributes a lot to the environmental protection and it is a favorable way to slow down the rate of climate change of our earth, which also means a lot to our health.
We are supposed to undertake the responsibility to lead a low-carbon lifestyle, which is of great significance. And there is a diversity of measures we can take so as to lead such an environmental-friendly life. For one thing, we are expected to minimize the use of private cars, which emit a large amount of greenhouse gases. For another, we are supposed to cultivate the public awareness of energy conservation for energy in the world today is decreasing rapidly. For instance, we can turn off electrical appliances if not necessary as well as using renewable materials. Furthermore, at our leisure, we can seek opportunities to plant more trees which can absorb carbon-dioxide.
In brief, low-carbon lifestyle is nothing but the best choice for us and only in this way can we form a harmonious relationship with the environment.
2011英语四级作文预测:水资源缺乏
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic On Water Shortage. You should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline given below:
1. Water shortage is becoming an urgent problem 2. Possible reasons 3. Possible solutions 参考范文:
On Water Shortage
No one can have failed to notice the fact that water shortage is a grave problem with which the whole world is confronted. Actually, it has become so widespread that it has severely affected people’s daily life and hindered the development of the global economy.
A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following might be the critical ones. First, with the development of agriculture and industry, an increasing amount of water is needed. Secondly, the ever-increasing population is another leading cause of water shortage. Besides, the global tendency of warming up also contributes to the problem. What’s worse, pollution and waste of fresh water aggravate the situation.
In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is essential that laws and regulations be worked out and enforced to protect water resources. Secondly, people should enhance their awareness of saving water. With these measures taken, it is reasonable for us to expect a brighter future.
2011年四级作文预测:社会不文明现象 On Uncivilized Behaviors
We cannot fail to notice that countless uncivilized behaviors exist in our daily lives, such as
3
spitting, talking loudly, littering, saying nasty words in public places and so forth. All these are bad manners that we should not lose sight of. As an ancient land enjoying a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years, China is witnessing a surge in improper acts that every Chinese citizen should feel ashamed of. Uncivilized behaviors by a host of Chinese both at home and abroad have seriously affected China's image, according to an editorial posted on People Daily's official website。
As Chinese, we should not get offended when others point out our weaknesses but should focus more attention on improving ourselves. We should strive to identify the causes of those improper behaviors and find ways to eliminate them. There are a host of causes, I would argue, behind this trend. To name only one: the lack of moral education. The government should wage a massive moral campaign to fight against this trend and we ourselves should endeavor to behave decently in our daily lives. As college students of the new age, we should take the leading role。 以下是四六级考试中30个最经典的替换词,各位同学可以参考一下。

28、frown on sth代替be against ,disagree with sth。 29、to name only a few,as an example代替for example。 30、next to/virtually impossible,代替nearly impossible。 作文的展开—---按照三步走:
1)题目涉及的现象进行简单的描述,在描述的过程中将写作引向文章的主题(这样的描述可以自己控制,如果第一段落字数单薄,可以适当使描述具体化)。
2)在第一步的基础上给出观点,观点视文章主旨可以分为:个人观点(包括方法、途径),和多方观点(观点从正反两方面或者一个方面的多个层次阐述;在交待观点是需要有原因和支持)。
3)个人观点总结点题(同意异表),简要指出方法途径,如果找不到具体的解决方法,则将话讲得圆滑(如果正文中间观点没有必然冲突,则可以融合)。
范例A 1995.1 my view on the negative effects of some advertisements 社会上的广告现象越来越多,很多的广告对我们的社会有不良的影响-〉(广告如何多:路边大型广告,报纸一半是广告,电线杆上垃圾广告,电视商业广告频繁。)
Today we live in a world of advertisement. Ads appear on broad side boards, take up much of newspaper coverage, slip their way onto walls and constantly interrupt TV programs. However pervasive they are, (尽管他们四处充斥)they always produce a negative influence.
从观点的多个层次描写:1.白日抢劫——卖家通过弯曲夸大事实来欺骗消费者购买(化妆品);2.种下不良消费习惯或者价值观(香烟);3.污染环境(牛皮癣和校园商业海报)。
To begin with, daylight robbery is made everyday occurrence (白日抢劫每天都在发生)as a result of the negative effects of ads. Harmful ads exaggerate the functions and distort/ignore the facts.(夸大功能,歪曲事实) Every means is tried
6
to hook people into buying(为了诱导人们消费,不择手段)。 Make-up promotion is a typical case in point.(化妆品促销就是一个典型的例子) Furthermore, misleading ads plant in the mind (在脑海中植下)of consumers, especially young people, a bad consumption habit or, even worse, corrupt values. For proof, look no further than cigarette selling. (香烟销售就是一个典型的例子)Ads with the image of a smoking pop star broadcast an irresistible message.(传递无法抗拒的信息) Last but not least, easily-printed posters and handouts have polluted our environment.
个人认为广告负面效应不可避免,要通过严格的法律来减少危害,同时开动脑精,远离它们。
Personally, no one can avoid the negative influence. However, we need to step up law enforcement (加强执法)to minimize the harm of such ads. Meanwhile, as consumers, we need to use our head and keep our distance.
范例 B 1996.1 Two-day weekend
--〉工作效率提高,物质生活富足,人们可能享受2天周末制,—〉(除了工作效率之外:人们对生活水平的期待。)
As the productivity improves, our society becomes more affluent than ever before. As a result of such social advance, a 2-day weekend seems not just possible but also feasible.
从正反两方面描写,每个方面可以从多个角度来论述:1.有人欢呼,原因如下:1)更长的休息时间,更好的调整精力,更高的效率为新的一周做好准备;2)更长的时间与家人分享,更加融洽家庭关系;3)可以进行适当距离的旅游,更好的享受生活。2.有人反对,原因如下:1)在某种程度上不利于生产和生活(减少产出,办事不方便);2)降低效率(周末未完之事必须拖拉两天;周末活动过多造成假期疲劳)。
The proponents (支持者)happily welcome a 2-day weekend for the following reasons. Firstly, a 2-day weekend ensures more time for rest(确保足够的时间休息)。 People can better recover from 5 days hard work(可以更好的从天的工作中恢复过来) and get more refreshed and productive for the coming week. Secondly, a 2-day weekend allows more time to share with one’s family. Thirdly, 2 days make possible(使—成为可能) short-distance travels, so that people needn’t rush through a destination (在一个游玩的目的地走马观花)and can enjoy more of life(更好的享受生活)。 On the other hand, the opponents(反对者)argue an extended weekend(延长了的周末) causes incontinences of some kind (某种程度的不便)to life and harm to economy, as workers in service agencies (服务行业)and in companies leave
7
position for leisure and recreation.(离职去娱乐享受) What’s more, a longer weekend reduces efficiency(降低效率) and does not necessarily promise (确保)more energy for a new week. Anything that happens on Friday but can’t be finished within that day has to be delayed even longer. After people finish an ambitious travel, they feel exhausted than refueled. (他们感到很疲劳而不是充电了)
个人认为是好事,但是要多方面努力,享受好处的同时尽量避免坏处。
As for me, I readily welcome the 2-day weekend. Still, we need to make joint efforts to minimize the disadvantages while enjoying a happier life. 英语四级考试写作预测范文 预测一

Nowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from classes. And still there are some students who slip out of the classroom before the class is over. Class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and teachers.
In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly. First, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning. That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study. Second,attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers,too.

Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes regularly from now on. And some day we’ll benefit from it.
