历年四级作文 篇一
题目要求：
Direction:
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Starting Career in a Big City or Small Town? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1、 很多的大学生毕业后留在大城市工作；
2、 也有人选择到小城镇开始自己的职业生涯；
3、 结合自己的实际情况谈谈自己的想法。
参考范文：
Want to be a small fish in a big pond or the other way round? Every graduate faces this question when starting his career. A large number of college graduates prefer to stay in big cities, which mean more experiences, more opportunities to see the big world and more space for career development. At the same time, higher salary is another temptation.
But some other graduates intend to start in small towns. Even though there may not be many big companies, they can have a quieter and less competitive life. Another reason is that they can be a big fish in a small pond. They can easily get the management’s attention and may win promotion earlier.
As far as I am concerned, I prefer to start in a metropolis like Shanghai. A good begin is half the battle, and in Shanghai I can find a job in a big company where I can meet people from different places and cultures. I will learn from them what I can not get from textbooks.
英语四级历年作文 篇二
Most courses in universities and colleges today are compulsory, however, there are a few courses that are optional. Despite its small percentage, optional courses have given rise to the question whether college students should choose their courses at their own wills.
As far as I am concerned, I think college students should be encouraged to choose courses they are interested in. As the saying goes, "Interest is the best teacher". Students will certainly study more efficiently the subjects they willingly choose than the ones they are forced to choose. What’s more, because the subjects they choose are no longer a burden, they may become more active in the study concerned.
So I incline to say that colleges and universities should set up more optional courses for students to choose.

话题：
让我们在电脑普及的今天，谈一谈电脑给我们带来了什么。
参考例文：
With the rapid development of computer, computers are becoming growing popular among people all over the world. And the popularity of using computer is increasing year by year. It is obvious that the computer is playing an important role in our daily life.
Due to the comprehensive applications of the Computer, it has been gradually taking place of human beings in some areas. Such as people can use computers to compose, purchase goods, or hold meetings. Whats more, computer can greatly improve peoples working efficiency. However, every coin has its two aspects. Computer also brings some disadvantages. For example, since computer games now have been prevalent among students, they almost spend more than 6 hours for entertainment on computer, and not study any more. Besides, many people now favor talk with their friends on line, and they meet less frequently than ever before. As a consequence, the lack of speaking leads to their terrible expression.
To sum up, we are supposed to keep balance between entertainment and study, make the best use of its good aspect to get further more improvement.
历年四级作文 篇四
There is a universal phenomenon among college students that in English learning they don’t attach much importance to spelling, which can find expression in the fact that numerous mistakes will arise in their compositions.
I reckon that the primary reason why the majority of students ignore spelling in their English learning is that computers are performing increasingly important role in our daily life. Mostly, there is no need for us to use our pen or pencil when we compose an article or submit our assignments to the teachers. Therefore the students acquire more and more skills in computer operation. Yet, their spelling mistakes in their articles are accumulating.
In order to untangle the problem, we are supposed to enable students to minimize the usage of computers in our daily life, and the teachers are expected to maximize the chance for students in writing on paper.
点评
总体来讲这篇四级作文出的基本中规中矩。
从结构来看属于典型的给定观点的文章，三段论很清晰，任务很明确。能用到的语言也在我们的预测范围之内。
第一段，开头的句子我们就可以写到：Now we are entering a brand new era full of opportunities and innovations, and great changes have taken place in peoples attitude towards some traditional practice只是紧接着只需要把spelling放到后面点明即可。后面加上一句This issue has been brought into public focus and called for further concern.
第一段就圆满了。
第二段开头任务明确写原因：
开头句子给大家备好了：
A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following are the most critical ones.
这段的内容是比较好想的，第一个原因我准备从信息角度入手，并且在内容的预测上我也是给同学们准备了信息方面的句子。
First, information is expanding at such an increasing rate that our society is called the one of information. The information is so immense that students haven t ample energy and time to deal deeply with spelling,这里我用到了很好的代词:one,和句式：so…that…既然是范文我就自己小小的发挥了一下：some computer programs, such as word ，have done the spelling checking work for us 。
第二个原因：万恶考为首，
Second, the standardized-test oriented way of English learning, in which the high score can be achieved without spelling, put students to the position in which they have the quite reason to ignore spelling.
在这个句子中用到了同学们熟悉的表达：put students to the position.还很拽的`用到了一个主干隔离结构in which the high score can be achieved without spelling，一个好的单词test oriented以什么为目标。
这段也很圆满。
第三段:这段更是平淡无奇：
但开头的句子是没有问题的，我们很熟悉的开头句。
This issue may lead to a number of unfavorable consequences, with the following two the most serious.
后面有两种写法：
一种是写危害：
但是诚实的讲我认为这个现象没有什么太大的危害，但是不写的话又无话可说了。
我自己也是想了很久才想到了两点所谓的危害。
For one thing ，… for another ，这样的句子和京剧里面的亮相是一个概念。
For one thing, the information would be incorrect when conveyed by hand- writing way and cause some bad effects. For another, we may indulge ourselves in this way of inaccuracy which may influence our attitude of learning or research.
这两个危害我是憋了好久才想出来了，又不敢写的太难，大家就将就看了，
有危害总要解决下吧，咱的强项啊！
The awareness of the importance of this issue should be enhanced and some proper measures should be taken. It is reasonable for us to believe that the situation will be improved in the near future. 多棒的结尾啊！
还有一种写法就是：直接写解决的方法会简单些 ：
In view of the importance of this issue ， effective measures should be taken before things get worse. For one thing, it is essential that students should be encouraged to use less automatic spelling checking tools.（回忆下上课讲的上下义词） For another, spelling should be highlighted in the English test ，such as CET-4 and CET 6.What’s more ，the public should enhance their awareness of the importance of spelling 。With these measures taken, it is reasonable for us to believe that the situation of poor spelling will be improved in the near future.
针对不同的两个原因提出两个不同的解决方法。
参考范文：
Now we are entering a brand new era full of opportunities and innovations, and great changes have taken place in peoples attitude towards some traditional practice, especially in the area of English learning ， one of which is less attention has been given to spelling by college students 。 This issue has been brought into public focus and called for further concern.
A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following are the most critical ones. First, information is expanding at such an increasing rate that our society is called the one of information. The information is so immense that students haven t ample energy and time to deal deeply with spelling, and some computer programs, such as word ，have done the spelling checking work for us 。 Second, the standardized-test oriented way of English learning, in which the high score can be achieved without spelling, put students to the position in which they have the quite reason to ignore spelling.

三段的第二种写法：In view of the importance of this issue ， effective measures should be taken before things get worse.

W： Hi Leo， why do you say English would become the world language?
M： Well。 For one thing， it’s so commonly used， the only language that is used by more people is Chinese。
W： Why is English spoken by so many people?
M： It’s spoken in many countries of the world because of the British empire。 And now of course is the influence of America as well。
W： Many students find English a difficult language to learn。
M： Oh， all languages are difficult to learn。 But English does have two greatest advantages。
W： What are they?
M： Well， first of all， it has a very international vocabulary。 It has many German， Dutch， French， Spanish and Italian words in it。 So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English。 In fact， English has words for many other languages as well。
W： Why is that?
M： Well， partly because English speakers have travelled a lot， they bring back words with them。 So English really does have an international vocabulary。
W： And what is the other advantage of English?
M： It that English grammar is really quite easy。 For example， it doesn’t have dozens of different endings for its nouns， adjectives and verbs， not like Latin， Russian and German for example。
W： Why is that?
M： Well， it’s quite interesting actually， it’s because of the French。 When the French ruled England， French was the official language， and only the common people spoke English。 They tried to make their language as simple as possible。 So they made the grammar easier。

No one knows for sure just how old kites are。 In fact， they have been in use for centuries。 25 centuries ago， kites were well-known in China。 These first kites were probably made of wood。 They may even have been covered with silk， because silk were used a lot at that time。 Early kites were built for certain uses。 In ancient China， they will use to carry ropes to cross rivers。 Once across， the ropes were tear down and wooden bridges would hang for them。 Legend tells of one General who flew musical kites over the enemies’ camp。 The enemy fled， believing the sounds to be the warming voices of angels。 By the 15th century， many people flew kites in Europe。 Marco Polo may have brought the kite back from his visit to China。 The kite has been linked to great names and events。 For instance， Benjamin Franklin used kite to prove the lightening electricity。 He flew the kite in the storm。 He did this in order to draw lightening from the clouds。 He tied a metal key and a strip of silk to the kite line。 The silk ribbon would stop the lightening from passing through his body。 Benjamin’s idea was first laughed at。 But later on， it enlightened the invention of the lightening rod。 With such grand history， kite flying is short remain an entertaining and popular sport。

I have learnt many languages， but I’m not mastered them the way the professional interpreter or translator has。 Still， they have open doors for me。 They have allowed me the opportunity to seek jobs in international contexts and help me get those jobs。 Like many people who have lived overseas for a while， I simply got crazy about it。 I can’t image living my professional or social life without international interactions。 Since 1977， I have spent much more time abroad than in the United States。 I like going to new places， eating new foods and experiencing new cultures。 If you can speak the language， it’s easier to get to know the country and its people。 If I had the time and money。 I would live for a year in as many countries as possible。 Beyond my career， my facility with languages has given me a few rare opportunities。 Once， just after I returned my year in Vienna。 I was asked to translate for a German judge at Olympic level horse event and learned a lot about the sport。
In Japan， once when I was in the studio audience of a TV cooking show， I was asked to go up on the stage and taste the beef dish that was being prepared and tell what I thought。 They asked” Was it as good as American beef?” It was very exciting for me to be on Japanese TV， speaking in Japanese about how delicious the beef was。

When you look up at the night sky， what do you see? There are other heavenly bodies out there besides the moon and stars。 One of the most fascinating of this is a comet。 Comets were formed around the same the earth was formed。 They are made up of ice and other frozen liquids and gasses。 Now and then these dirty snow balls begin to orbit the sun just as the planets do。 As a comet gets closer to the sun。 Some gasses in it begin to unfreeze。 They combine with dust particles from the comet to form a huge cloud。 As the comet gets even nearer to the sun and solar wind blows the cloud behind the comet thus forming its tail。 The tail and generally fuzzy atmosphere around the comet are characteristics that can help identify this phenomenon in the night sky。 In any given year， about dozen known comets come close to the sun in their orbits。 The average person can’t see them all of course。 Usually there is only one or two a year bright enough to be seen with the naked eye。 Comet Hale-Bopp discovered in 1995 was an unusually bright comet。 Its orbit bought relatively to the earth within 122 million miles of it。 But Hale-Bopp came a long way on its earthly visit。 It won’t be back for another 4 thousand years or so。
