2008年6月四级写作焦点范文-1

 　　1、留学

　　Directions: for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic studying abroad. you should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:

　　1、目前很多中国学生出国留学，

　　2、出国留学的好处，

　　3、我的看法。

　　Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents. importance should be attached to studying abroad.

　　there are a great many advantages of studying overseas. first and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. on a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values. what is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. there is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.

　　Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. in the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have. furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating¹ and painful as it may be, is conducive² to the growth of adolescents.

　　2、就业

　　Directions: for this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic jobs for graduates. you should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:

　　1、大学生难找工作，

　　2、原因很多，

　　3、解决的办法。

　　Job hunting has always been a headache for college students. though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.

　　The reasons for this phenomenon are various. on the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled³ so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. on the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.

　　I reckon this problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures. first， they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. second， students‘ attitude towards employment should be changed. they should go to small cities and country. there they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. in a word， if we pay much attention， the situation can be improved.

　　3、网络

　　Directions: for this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic internet. you should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:

　　1、互联网使用的现状，

　　2、大学生是否应该使用互联网，人们的看法不同，

　　3、我的看法。

　　In recent years，people are developing an inseparable relationship with internet. as is known to all， it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line，either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work‘s needs.

　　On the one hand, no one denies that internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life. as a college student, i get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends. but on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted⁴ to internet to maintain a regular and wholesome⁵ lifestyle.

　　Thus，it is necessary for us to use internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. after all，internet is invented to enrich our life，and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle⁶ us with a chain.

　　4、考试

　　Directions: for this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic my views on examinations. you should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:

　　1、大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩，

　　2、考生可能带来的副作用，

　　3、我对考试的看法。

　　In most colleges and universities 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 efficiently⁷, its side effects are also enormous.To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. no subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. in addition, the most undesirable⁸ 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.

　　In fact，few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students academic development. if that is the case，why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations？
