专四2023年作文真题及范文(通用5篇)For those who first live in a big city, they are confronted with multiple unexpected challenges, which, to some extent, may make or break them. So it is essential to be aware of the challenges.There are two major challenges for them. For one thing, the fast pace of social and professional life would be a hard bone to chew. It would become a struggle and terrible experience, if they cannot get used to the pace of life and work in big cities. For another, how to build a social network in big cities would be also a difficulty for those who want to start a new life in big cities. Without a social network, they would not have the sense of belonging.All in all, from what has been discussed above, the two major challenges are common for people struggling in big cities. The awareness of the potential problems and proper adjustment is necessary for all people going to big cities.Punctuality Is an Important VirtueTo be or not to be punctual is a habit. We often fail to appreciate the influence of habits in our life. The habitual practice of being late is often due to a lack of concern of being on time. In my opinion, being punctual is an important virtue for all of us.Punctuality is essential for people from all walks of life. For students,it is a great you are punctual, you leave a good impression on the teachers and classmates who may offer tremendous help in teamwork. In hospitals, punctuality can make all the difference between life and death. On the contrary, an unpunctual person generally causes inconvenience to person who is always late shows selfishness and thoughtlessness, and he is not a person that most people want for a friend. Furthermore, just as Thomas C. Haliburton said, ^v^Punctuality is the soul of business.^v^ Lateness is a sign of poor time management skills. When you are late for appointments, meetings or work, you show a lack of respect for other people's time as well as your own. If you want to be a successful businessman, being punctual is particularly important. Failing to arrive on time causes much inconvenience to the business and also to the rest of the staff. The failure to keep up an engagement punctually may mean a setback for the business.To sum ups, punctuality being so important in life, it is necessary for everybody to cultivate this habit froth the very beginning.(252 words)专四2023年作文真题及范文第5篇With globalization and industrialization increasing in recently years, more and more farmland and forests are being destroyed in the name of modernization. As a result, a couple of wild animals were killed or driven out of their original habitat. Tribal people who are in a peaceful life gradually lose their own lands. Survival’s Director Stephen Cory putforward his point of view about what conservationist should do. I agree with him.First, tribal people’s rights have to be acknowledged and respected. The conservationists must make it clear that they come to protect the environment rather than destroy it. They are supposed to respect tribal people, including their original habitat, culture and their lifestyles. As a matter of fact, they are not leaders but conservationists.Second, conservationists have to be treated as the best exports at defending their own people is an important part of the nature, and they know a lot about nature. Conservationists must realize it is they who are junior partners.To sum up,only in this way can the situation of conservationists be improved.Should College Students Hire Cleaners?It was recently reported that a few college students hired a help to do some cleaning in their dorm. These students attribute this behavior to their limited spare time. They claim that it can help them to save time and pay more attention to their studies. As far as I am concerned, such a chain of reasoning is seriously flawed, and they are just making an excuse for their laziness. College students should not hire a help for their dormitory cleaning.To begin with, it is not necessary for college students to hire acleaner. As boarding-school students living in tiny dorms, we don’t have much cleaning to do at all. What we need to do every day is just washing or some basic cleaning, which we learned to do in childhood. Undoubtedly we can manage them ourselves. In addition, cleaning up a dorm won’t take much time. Conversely, it may help us to divert our attention away from studies and reduce our pressure. As a result, we don’t need to hire a cleaner to keep our dorms clean.A more important reason why university students should not hire a cleaner is that university education involves both knowledge learning and character building. In the university we should try our best to be more independent and self-reliant. Otherwise, we cannot shoulder greater responsibility when we step into the society. If now we still rely on cleaners for dorm sanitation, how can we earn our own living in the future? Consequently, the most basic thing we should do now is to take care of ourselves and prepare for our future, instead of evading responsibility by hiring a help.In summary, college students should learn to stand on their own feet. Hiring a cleaner is definitely not a wise choice.。

Should College Students Hire Cleaners？Recently there is a heated debate on whether college students should hire cleaners. As far as I am concerned, the laundry and cleaning should be done by students themselves rather than other people.As is known to everyone, not only are students supposed to get further educated on campus, but they ought to develop good habits of living independently. Every college student is required to live in school dormitory, partly because it is very convenient for those who live far from school, partly because it is an effective way to help them improve the ability of self-care. Furthermore, college students are not as busy as high school students, they don’t have to attend classes all day long and do much homework. So they surely have enough spare time to do chores like cleaning on their own. Last, college students are all adults, they are old enough to take good care of themselves.Above all, It is reasonable to say that college students should not hire cleaners to do what they have to do. They need to acquire abundant knowledge as well as good living habits. Only in this way, will college students become strong and excellent enough as they are expected.。

ShouldCollegeStudentsHireCleaners2010年专四作文Should College Students Hire Cleaners?It is a common phenomenon that College students leave their parents for study.Consequently,without parents’ help,some of them want to hire cleaners in order to save time for study.However,I claim that hiring cleaners is inappropriate.Firstly,hiring cleaners increases the economic burden of parents.For example,it costs almost 25 yuan an hour to hire cleaners.If they hire cleaners twice a week,they may spend 200 yuan a month on this.The extra 200 yuan contributes to th eir parents’ overtime work,which is bad for their health.So by taking parents’ burden into consideration,students should not spend money in hiring cleaners which is not necessary.Secondly,by hiring cleaners,students lose a good opportunity to keep them healthy.If cleaners do the housework for they,they themselves just lying on the bed,chatting with others through Wechat,they will suffer from obesity.And,as we all know,obesity may increase the risk of coronary heart disease.Therefore,hiring cleaners are likely to impair their bodies.Thirdly,to some extent,cleaning room by themselves instead of hiring cleaners relax their minds.Students may feel exhausted,being unable to pay their attention to the study materials they are reading when they have been engaged in their work for longtime.Therefore,doing little housework is conducive to relieving brain fatigue.To sum up,college students should not hire cleaners for its damage to economy,students’ health and the efficiency of study.。

2010年英语专四作文真题及详解2010年英语专四作文真题SECTION A Should College Students Hire Cleaners?Recently, the report that some college students hire cleaners go do laundry and cleaning in he dorm has immediately sparked a heated debate. Personally, I believe that such practice should not be encouraged at universities.Firstly, college students should have the capability to do the laundry and cleaning. Doing family chores is only a simple way to cultivate independence. If college students cannot do it, they cannot take care of themselves, let alone other complex things. Hence, it is a bit ironic for those young adults, who always claim they are totally independent of their parents in this respect.Secondly, college students should feel shamed of disposing of their parents’ hard-earned money in this way. With a large proportion of their living expenses and tuitions covered by their parents, wasting money for laundry and cleaning is not justifiable.Those who have good reasons to hire a cleaner argue that college time is for study, not for doing the laundry and cleaning. But I’m afraid that the so-called “busy” is just an excuse for being reluctant to do the laundry.In conclusion, hiring cleaners should not be encouraged at universities, whose purpose is to cultivate responsible and independent adults, instead of lazy parasites.SECTION B NOTE-WRITINGWrite on ANSWER SHEET THREE a note of about 50-60 words based on the following situation:Your good friend, John, is thinking of organizing an end-of-the-term party.

英语专业四级考试之写作范文：Should college students do part-time jobs?In many countries it is common for teenagers to takepart-time jobs while they are still in high school, while in other societies this is virtually unheard of. In the latter situation, students are expected to spend all of their time on their studies and consider schoolwork their "job". In my opinion, students benefit more from a more balanced lifestyle, which may include working at a part-time job. Therefore, I believe that it is a good idea for students to work while studying.While it is true that a student's most important goal must be to learn and to do well at his studies, it does not need to be the only goal. In fact, a life which consists of only study is not balanced and may cause the student to miss out on other valuable learning experiences. In addition to bringing more balance to a student's life, part-time work can broaden his range of experience. He will have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and will be faced with a wider variety of problems to solve. Furthermore, work helps a student to develop greater independence, and earning his own pocket money can teach him how to handle his finances. Finally, apart-time job can help a student to develop a greater sense of responsibility, both for his own work and for that of the team he works with.For all of these reasons, I firmly believe that most students would benefit from taking a part-time job while they are in high school. Of course, they must be careful not to let it take up too much of their time because study is still their primary responsibility. In sum, living a balanced life is the best way to be successful.。

According to a recent report, six university students hired cleaners to clean their dorm and do their laundry every week. Although we have no right to tell them what to do with their money, as a university student myself, I find this practice absurd.For a start, away from our parents, it is in university that we learn to be independent adults. Cleaning the room and doing one’s laundry are the most basic living skills. If we always depend on others to take care of us, how can we survive when there is no one to help us? How can we take on any responsibility when we step into society?For another, the practice reflects their flippant attitude towards money. The money they paid for the cleaners probably comes from their parents, who must be very depressed once they know the truth. It also sets a very bad precedent on campus. Other students may follow suit to show the wealth of their families; or worse, they tend to think money can buy them anything in this world, which obviously is wrong.All in all, I think we must do away with this practice. Otherwise, we may never appreciate the good value of money and an independent way of life. The better and sooner we can take care of ourselves, the more proud our parents will be.It was recently reported that a few college students hired a helper to do some cleaning in their dorm. These students attribute this behavior to their limited spare time. They claim that it can help them to save time and pay more attention to their studies. As far as I am concerned, such a chain of reasoning is seriously flawed, and they are just making an excuse for their laziness.

Should College Students Hire Cleaners?范文College Students, Please Mind Your Own Business!--Should College Students Hire Cleaners?Several years ago, a middle school in Shanghai announced that students would be required to pull up and remov e the weeds growing on the school’s playground. The next day, what did happen was that, instead of doing the work themselves, the students stood in the shade of the buildings and the trees, watching their parents doing the work on their behalf in the midday heat. What a “spectacular” scene of doting parents and spoiled children!The idea and the practice that college students in China should hire cleaners to keep their dorms clean are just an extension of such notorious dotage and spoiling and, as such, constitute an unmistakable indication of our education being truly sick and decadent. Those who advocate and support the contention maintain that, as Chinese families get materially better-off in recent years, college students have the implicit freedom to spend their money on whatever they desire and hiring cleaners to keep their dorms clean can help students save time, which they presumably can spend on their studies. However, such a chain of reasoning is seriously flawed.Admittedly, people could spend their legitimately-earned money on whatever they like; however, they should do so only to the extent that they spend the money on those commodities and services they themselves are incapable of. For each college student sharing a dorm with 4 or 5 roommates, there are at most 3 or 5 square meters of space for him or her to tend to, including the space in the corridor. Keeping such a small space tidy and clean is a piece of cake for any college student as an adult; the labor involved in the process is minimal, so is the time required. When frugality is still a universally acknowledged virtue in the present-day world, spending money on hiring cleaners for a trivial responsibility students are wholly capable of performing themselves is simply an act of money squandering.Managing a dorm one lives in is really assuming responsibilities for one’s own actions. When the dorm gets disorderly and unclean, it is its inhabitants who should get it tidy and clean. In performing the cleaning him/herself, a college student learns to share the responsibility for managing a public space of which one is a part. The student also shows respect for the common welfare of the entire dorm. Cleaning one’s own dorm is a necessary process whereby one becomes a responsible person.What actually lies behind such a contention is a deep-entrenched contempt for manual labor and the argument that hiring cleaners could help students save time and devote to their studies is a mere pretext. Typically, college education is not dominated by heavy loads of coursework and a college student has ample time to manage his/her own affairs apart from his or her studies. Usually, those students who claim they are too busy to clean their own dorms are most often found otherwise preoccupied with playing computer games or shopping. They refuse to do manual labor because they tend to regard themselves as elites or the “chosen ones” once they succeed in entering a college. Asself-styled elites, they believe they are bound for white-collar careers and thus have the privilege to stay aloof from menial work of a blue-collar worker.This naturally leads to a serious question regarding the ultimate aim of our education. No one denies the importance of learning but acquiring learning is only part of the college education. Essentially, college education is about the development of a whole person, who can apply the knowledge and the skills in diverse intellectual spheres to cope with the challenges ahead and turn one into a person instrumental to our society. Barack Obama is a living example of how a responsible person can grow into a global leader. What are most impressive about this first Afro-American president of the United States are not those impassioned speeches he has made about “Yes, Change We Can” but his readiness to serve the society through practical social work. On January 19, 2009, just one day before his inauguration, the president-elect worked as a volunteer at the Sasha Bruce Youthwork Shelter, painting the walls of the dormitories for homeless teens. This illustrates that the avoidance of physical labor is never the mark of a true elite.In the Chinese labor market, recent years have already witnessed an alarming surplus of college graduates, among whom a considerable proportion has found it hard to be employed. One of the reasons for their unemployment is their failure to acquire effective skills to solve practical problems. This constitutes a sharp contrast with the Japanese corporate culture in which newly-recruited college graduates start their professional careers not with the fundamentals of office work, but with the cleaning jobs in the company toilets. By forming their character and shaping their willpower, toilet cleaning enables Japanese college graduates to become CEOs of many influential multinational companies. This culture is echoed in South Korea where the Minister of the National Treasury worked part-time as toilet cleaner in the wake of the Asian financial crisis about a decade ago. How could we expect Chinese collegestudents to be future leaders, on national and global scales,when they even refuse to mind their own business of cleaning their dorms?It is well articulated that “those who are ordained for a lofty mission should first be subjected to the most rigorous intellectual and physic al hardships.” If learning and knowledge can “civilize one’s mind”, doing physical labor can serve to “brutalize one’s physique.” Instead of being reciprocally repulsive, those two impulses are what a college student ought to cultivate in the equal measure. Whether or not college students should hire cleaners to take care of their dorms is not a matter of money or of time, but a matter of whether we expect to develop ourselves into men of integrity, responsibility, and maturity. To the extent that Chinese college students should cultivate healthy and productive value orientations, they should take every precaution against becoming spoiled by the materialistic well-being that the country as a whole is currently experiencing. After all, there are provinces of human behavior where money cannot and should not exert its impact because such behavior is measured not in terms of money but in terms of moral values。

Should college students be allowed to get married?There is no denying the fact that it is a hotly debated topic today whether college students should be allowed to get married. Some time ago, the ban was lifted by some universities on students getting married. To this people’s attitudes differ sharply. Some hold the positive view. They say that most college students are adults and that it is a basic right for those who have reached the appropriate ages to get married. Besides, they argue that with their biological and emotional needs met, these students will study better. The ban on this means a severe violation1 of human rights.Many others, however, hold the negative opposite view. They claim that the university or college is a place to study instead of a community to lead family life. Allowing college students to get married would adversely2 affect their study. For instance, they would spend too much time attending their family and love, unable to concentrate on their school work.As far as I am concerned, Weighing the arguments of both sides, I believe that college students should not be allowed to get married. Though mostly adults, they areactually immature3 psychologically. Their wishes to get married are, more often than not, impulses. Besides, as students, they are not ready to support a family financially.。

英语专四考试真题及答案（4）TEXT CGraduation speeches are a bit like wedding toasts. A few are memorable. The rest tend to trigger such thoughts as, "Why did I wear such uncomfortable shoes?"But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger. Every year a few colleges and universities in the US attract attention because they've managed to book high-profile speakers. And, every year, the media report some of these speakers' wise remarks.Last month, the following words of wisdom were spread:"You really haven't completed the circle of success unless you can help somebody else move forward." (Oprah Winfrey, Duke University)."There is no way to stop change; change will come. Go out and give us a future worthy of the world we all wish to create together." (Hillary Clinton, New York University)."'This really is your moment. History is yours to bend." (Joe Biden, Wake Forest University).Of course, the real "get" of the graduation season was first lady Michelle Obama's appearance at the University of California, Merced. "Remember that you are blessed," she told the class of 2009, "Remember that in exchange for those blessings, you must give something back... As advocate and activist Marian Wright Edelman says, 'Service is the rent we pay for living ... it is the true measure, the only measure of success'."Calls to service have a long, rich tradition in these speeches. However, it is possible for a graduation speech to go beyond cliche and say something truly compelling. The late writer DavidFoster Wallace's 2005 graduation speech at Kenyon College in Ohio talked about how to truly care about other people. It gained something of a cult after it was widely circulated on the Internet. Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs' address at Stanford University that year, in which he talked about death, is also considered one of the best in recent memory.But when you're sitting in the hot sun, fidgety and freaked out, do you really want to be lectured aboutthe big stuff?. Isn't that like trying to maintain a smile at your wedding reception while some relative gives a toast that amounts to "marriage is hard work"? You know he's right; you just don't want to think about it at that particular moment. In fact, as is the case in many major life moments, you can't really manage to think beyond the blisters your new shoes are causing.That may seem anticlimactic. But it also gets to the heart of one of life's greatest, saddest truths: that our most "memorable" occasions may elicit the fewest memories. It's probably not something most graduation speakers would say, but it's one of the first lessons of growing up.91. According to the passage, most graduation speeches tend to recall ____ memories.A. greatB. trivialC. unforgettableD. unimaginative92. "But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger" is explainedA. in the final paragraph.B. in the last but one paragraph.C. in the first paragraph.D. in the same paragraph.93. The graduation speeches mentioned in the passage are related to the following themes EXCEPTA. death.B. success.C. service.D. generosity.94. It is implied in the passage that at great moments people fail toA. remain clear-headed.B. keep good manners.C. remember others' words.D. recollect specific details.95. What is "one of the first lessons of growing up"?A. Attending a graduation ceremony.B. Listening to graduation speeches.C. Forgetting details of memorable events.D. Meeting high-profile graduation speakers.TEXT DCultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak orhamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner, and those who come to a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with whom it is eaten.In some New Guinea societies, the nuclear family is not the unit that eats together. The men take their meals in a men's house, separately from their wives and children. Women prepare and eat their food in their own houses and take the husband's portion to the men's house. The women eat with their children in their own houses. This pattern is also widespread among Near Eastern societies.Eating is a metaphor that is sometimes used to signify marriage. In many New Guinea societies, like that of the Lesu on the island of New Ireland in the Pacific and that of the Trobriand Islanders, marriage is symbolized by the couple's eating together for the first time. Eating symbolizes their new status as a married couple. In U.S. society, it is just the reverse. A couple may go out to dinner on a first date.Other cultural rules have to do with taboos against eating certain things. In some societies, members of a clan, a type of kin (family) group, are not allowed to eat the animal or bird that is their totemic ancestor. Since they believe themselves to be descended from that ancestor, it would be like eating that ancestor or eating themselves.There is also an association between food prohibitions and rank, which is found in its most extreme form in the caste system of India. A caste system consists of ranked groups, each with a different economic specialization. In India, there is an association between caste and the idea of pollution. Members of highlyranked groups can be polluted by coming into contact with the bodily secretions, particularly saliva, of individuals of lower-ranked castes. Because of the fear of pollution, Brahmans and other high-ranked individuals will not share food with, no96.

英语专四作文观点类模板题目，Should college students be required to attend lectures?As the popularity of online education grows, some people argue that college students should not be required to attend lectures. However, I believe that attending lectures is still an important part of the college experience.Firstly, attending lectures allows students to interact with their professors and classmates. In a lecture setting, students can ask questions and engage in discussions with their peers, which can help them better understand the material. This type of interaction is not possible in an online course, where students are often isolated from their classmates and instructors.Secondly, attending lectures can help students stay motivated and focused. When students attend lectures, theyare more likely to stay on track with their coursework and complete assignments on time. In contrast, students who do not attend lectures may fall behind and struggle to catch up.Finally, attending lectures can help students develop important skills that will benefit them in their future careers. For example, attending lectures can help students improve their communication skills, as they learn how to ask questions and participate in discussions. Additionally, attending lectures can help students develop critical thinking skills, as they learn how to analyze and evaluate information presented in class.Of course, there are some disadvantages to attending lectures as well. For example, attending lectures can be time-consuming and may conflict with other commitments. Additionally, some students may find lectures boring or unengaging.However, I believe that the benefits of attending lectures outweigh the drawbacks. While online education maybe convenient, it cannot replace the value of face-to-face interaction with professors and classmates. Therefore, I believe that college students should be required to attend lectures in order to fully engage with their coursework and develop important skills for their future careers.In conclusion, attending lectures is still an important part of the college experience. While online education may be convenient, it cannot replace the benefits of face-to-face interaction with professors and classmates. Therefore, I believe that college students should be required to attend lectures in order to fully engage with their coursework and develop important skills for their future careers.。

英语四级作文Should College Students Take Part in the Course Beyond Their Major?是否应该参加专业以外的课程？Nowadays, there is a hot debate about whether college students should learn other courses, which are beyond their major. There are two main opinions. One supports this view, because it is good for students’ integrated development. But the other opposes students to take part in the courses beyond their major, because it is bad for students to be the person of outstanding ability. As far as I am concerned, I stand in the former side. My reasons are as following.如今，关于高校生是否应当参与专业以外的课程的争论已引起激烈的辩论。

主要有两种观点。

一个是赞成方，由于这有助于同学全面进展。

但是，反对方认为这不利于那些拥有杰出力量的同学。

就我而言，我站在前者的角度。

我的理由如下。

On the one hand, taking part in the courses beyond students’ major can help they learn, to get more perfect preparation for their future. In the contemporary society, the definition for a talent is not only being outstanding on one field. It needs the people know the things in all field. Let me take a simpleexample, an English teacher still needs to have the ability to teach music, PE or drawing. This is the requirement for the new century talent. If students learn the knowledge beyond their major, they are supposed to be more close to that kind of talent. It is good for them to find a good job in the future and get adapt to the society easier. On the other hand, learn new courses that having no business of their study will not take up their time to study their major well. As time is limited, if students know that they have other classes to join, they will make the best use of their time to finish the task on their major. In the other word, it helps them become more efficiently.一方面，参与专业以外的课程有助于他们的学习，为他们的将来做更好的预备。

2000-2010年专四真题作文范文2010年专四真题作文Should College Students Hire Cleaners(1)Should college students hire cleaners? (2)Students' views on this issue vary from one to another. (3)Some students think that it is reasonable to hire cleaners for laundry and dorm cleaning while others hold that hiring cleaners does harm to the college students. (4)In my point of view, although there are some conveniences of hiring cleaners, the losses far outweigh the benefits. (5)The reasons are mainly as follows:(6)First of all, students lose the opportunities to enhance their unity and friendship. (7)Friends are indispensable in college life, especially for freshmen. (8)It is a chance for them to develop friendship and teamwork when they clean dorms together and do laundry together.(9)With the joy of working for their own surroundings, they can appreciate college life better. (10) In addition, students become more independent by taking care of their own lives. (11)Doing laundry or cleaning dorms is surely an effective way to learn how to keep a balance between study and the rest and how to arrange schedule properly.(12)To sum up, hiring cleaners is unnecessary. On campus, students can enjoy a colorful and independent life by doing their own chores, so it is wise not to hire cleaners.2009年专四真题作文Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China. Many people believe that tourism produce positive effects on economic growth and we should try our best to promote tourism. But what these people fail to see is that tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on our environment. As for me, I’m firmly convinced that too much tourists bring harm to the environment.The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itself in various ways. One way is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot.In order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on the environment. This process usually breaks the ecological balance of the area. In some mountainous places, trees are being cut down to build hotels for others to see and explore the beauty of the mountains. Then land slides and mud-rock flows come up. Another way the development of tourism has damaged the environment occurs when tourists go to scenic spots. Some tourists don’t have the awareness to protect the environment, and ignorantly throw their garbage here and there. Some people even kill the local wildlife to eat, which badly damages the balance of the natural environment.It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of tourism. We must keep in mind that too much tourists bring harm to the environment. We need to find a balance between satisfying the needs of tourists and reducing to a minimum the pollution they cause.2008年专四作文真题The Benefits of VolunteeringVolunteering has grown into a fashion these years, with volunteers ranging from college students to white collar workers. It is reported now China has 4.5 million registered volunteers having provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. Why would so many people like to do volunteer work? Are there any benefits of volunteering?The answer is absolutely yes. First of all, through volunteering we can gain more experiences. Whatever volunteering work we do, either being a volunteer teacher for a village school or a volunteer worker in a retired house, we can taste different lifestyles and broaden our horizon.Secondly, through volunteering we can acquire the sense of being needed. Many people feel frustrated with travails in life and empty with the cycling of working and resting. They gradually become numb, losing the sense of being needed. By joining the volunteer group and offering help voluntarily to people who need it, we may feel happy and fulfilled again.Thirdly, through volunteering we can learn more good qualities. Volunteer work is team work, which needs good cooperation. We can knowpeople with different personalities and different background joining in the volunteer group and devoting to the volunteer work together. From our co - volunteers we can absorb many good qualities that could help us be better persons.In conclusion, volunteering is of great benefit in that we can gain more experiences, acquire the sense of being needed and learn more good qualities.2007年专四作文真题范文1 Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?Currently the public has paid great attention to the debate concerning whether it is wise or not to make friends online. Taking all the favorable and unfavorable aspects into account, I stand firmly on the side that we can benefit from making friends online. This point of perspective, I believe, shared by the largest proportion of the public, can be explained in the following tangible reasons.Firstly, communication is unquestionably regarded as an extremely important element in our society. Unfortunately, there are people around us appear to be apathetic and have got no idea about how to make an acquaintance with a stranger. They may be too shy or nervous or they are afraid of being refused by others. But remember no man is an island entire of itself, every man is a part of the continent, a part of the main. As a consequence, regardless of the fact that whether you like it or not, as individuals, we have to be part of the main. And, internet, as a mass medium, provides us with a chance. Things turn to be quite different because sitting in front of the computer screen, people who are scared to make friends online can talk with others more naturally and confidently.Secondly, it is well acknowledged that we can learn a lot from our e-pals. If our friend online were a foreigner, we can practice English with him or her. What’s more, we can have a glimpse of general information of another country，such as the culture, the tradition, the custom or thegeography.From what have mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that making friends online can do us some good. And communication online is having a greater impact on our daily life.范文2 Is it wise to make friends on the Internet?With the overwhelming development of Internet, never has been a communication tool, like MSN or QQ, that makes people contact with each other using such a convenient and extensive method. However, is it wise to make acquaintance with cyber friends throughout the globe even when each other’s identity is secretly classified? My answer is no.Admittedly, making friends online bring us a great amount of joy and unimagined stimulating experience. Nevertheless, as we can only communicate people though words or images, someone with ulterior motives may hide behind the screen waiting for a moment to conspire his illegal actions. Just as the joke tells, a 21 years old pretty girl may turn out to be an 80 years old ugly drunker.In addition, people are easily getting addicted to this fictitious relationship and losing the ability of surviving in their real living environment. Net communication can never take the place of a face to face taking or a familiar attracting expression. What is more, who are you turning into when emergency happens, someone thousands miles far away that you even don’t know about his name, or the next door neighbor s who smile at you every morning?In conclusion, when we try to make friends online, it is necessary to be sensible and take precautions to ensure our safety especially meeting net friends outside. Only in this way, can we enjoy the exciting experience and extremely convenient the net bring s to us.2006年专四真题作文范文1 My Idea of Saving MoneyA recent survey, carried out by a Beijing-based information company, has shown that two thirds of the Chinese college students today favor theidea of saving money for later use, whereas quite many others deem it much better to use tomor row’s money today. Personally, I side with the former.Firstly, saving money can relieve one’s anxiety in case of accidents, disease or other mishaps. As we all know, when one faces such tragedies as fir damage or fatal disease, one would need a large amount of money to survive such difficulties. Secondly, saving money can give one a sense of fulfillment.Since most people work hard every day, they will be quiet happy and satisfied with his “achievement” when they find they have accumulated a large deposit in the bank. Thirdly, saving money allows one to give a helping hand to others. With money available at the moment, one can offer badly needed help to those in temporary difficulty, say, those who are suffering from flood, famine, a car accident, or things like that. Yet taking a loan from a bank is often too costly. Thus, the timely help will be rewarded with gratitude. A dependable friendship will eventually be fostered.To sum up, saving money does have many advantages. Indeed, it is an important aspect of the Chinese conception of virtue. Therefore, let’s start saving money from today on.范文2 Using Tomorrow’s Money for Today’s ComfortRecently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students, and the results have shown that 67 percent students think that saving money is a good habit, while the rest believe using tomorrow’s money today is better. For me, I agree with the latter point of view.Most people may have heard of the story about a Chinese old lady and an American old lady. The former spent all her life painstakingly saving enough money to buy a new apartment, without living in it for a long timebefore her death, while the latter first borrowed money form the bank to buy a new apartment in her youth and lived in it comfortably, then spent the rest of her life paying the loan. In the story, the results are the same---they both bought an apartment, but their life experiences are radically different; the former hardly lived in the house for she had spent all her life saving money for it, while the latter enjoyed living there for quite a long time because she “ used tomorrow’s money today”. By comparison, we can clearly see that the latter’s choices of lifestyle is much better than the former’s Then, why don’t we use tomorrow’s money for today’s comfort?To conclude, I think using tomorrow’s money today is much better than saving money all day.2005年专四真题作文MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIVALWith merely four months to go before the arts festival starts, my fellow students are getting increasingly enthusiastic in brainstorming for the significant event. While in my opinion typical activities such as performances, forums and lectures on art should be taken into consideration.The festival itself is an image-creating undertaking. Students should be attracted to the festival at the first glimpse, so the opening ceremony must be of vital importance. Fascinating performances, for instance, pop music, ballet dancing and instrument playing ought to be put on in this section and if possible an orchestra can be invited to add spice to the ceremony. Certainly only performances are too superficial. To help students take a deeper insight of arts, forums and lectures must be held. Forums can be held through BBS owning to the wide accessibility to Internet, whereas professors and experts can be invited to give lectures concerning basic knowledge of art and the role that art plays in daily life. However, prior to all the above, professional organization, detailed plans and effective promulgation are needed to promise a success.A university arts festival, in brief, must embrace rich content and careful preparation. Only then can it be successful and can everyone enjoy himself.2004年专四作文真题Letter Writing Will Not Be KilledNowadays, young people choose to phone each other rather writing letters. But even if so, I still maintain that letter writing will never be killed by phones, though we have stepped into the Information Age.Firstly, letters can express your subtle feelings. With the increase of the living pace of modern society, we find that there is a lack of communication now. Sometimes when you are speaking to someone that you care and love on the phone, you are so shy that it’s too hard to express any of your feelings towards him/her. Your throat seems to be blocked! At this time, letters will help. Without any embarrassment, you can just write down your deep concern and love on a piece of paper. When you drop the letter into the pillar-box, you will feel what he/she will receive is not only a letter, but also your deepest love.Secondly, letters can be kept as a record of memory, while phones cannot. Just imagine when you open an old box of letters and read them years later, a lot of beautiful and indelible memories will be brought back to you. What an irreplaceable feeling it is! And I believe, this feeling is something that you can definitely never experience through several phone calls.All in all, letter writing will absolutely survive and even thrive in the Information Age. Phones can never kill it, neither will anything.2003年作文真题范文THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A GOOD MOODPeople in modern society live under a lot of pressure. There are three kinds of pressure working on people today: pressure from education, family and career. It is easy to blame the school for charging too much money, the family members for the heavy burden, and the society for the fierce competition. It is universally acknowledged/ There is public perception people should relax. It is important for them to keep a good mood under whatever circumstances.Long gone are the days when people lived their life with a certain relaxation, sampling a wide variety of activities—film, music, art, poetry. But now, a lot of people suffer fr om a lot of pressure. They can’t communicate well with co-workers and family members, and have unbalanced, one-dimensional lives. Some people complain of symptoms of stress, for instance, loss of appetite, a complete sense of exhaustion, insomnia and low morale. Thus have destructive effect on their health. People tend to lose temper easily, and this may interfere personal relationship. What’s more, a high rate of suicide may warn people of their emotionalwell-being.To be a healthy person physically and psychologically, one should keep a good mood, according to some psychology experts. Those little things may seem relatively insignificant—reading mystery novels, playing volleyball, spending time with family and friends, maintaining your emotional well-being, getting plenty of rest, going fishing. They can help you keep a good mood.2002年专四真题作文The Best Way to Stay HealthNowadays，the desire for good health is universal. Wherever you are and whatever you do, staying healthy is always important. With the improvement of our living standards, people are attaching more and more importance to their health. However, which do you think is the best way to keep healthy? Different people come up with different views: eating green food, doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology.According to some surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally ill. The burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others, so they can’ t step out of the shadow of depression and sadness. They need to release their spirit to the nature.Besides, if you have developed a good quality of psychology, you’ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society. Enrolling for some keep-fit clubs or joining some travel agency, which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise, will benefit you a lot.As a poem says, youth is not a pe riod of time; it’s a state of mind. Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living.Keep a good quality of mind, or keep a sense of humor, to be precise, even if you are 80, and you’ll never be old.2001年专四作文真题Travel broadens the mindSample A:Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. Many people are rich enough to afford a travel at home or abroad. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. The increasing popularity of travel is, among others, due to the following reason: travel broadens our minds to an extent which may not be reached previously.For example, if we travel to Africa, we will find a culture totally different from that of ours, and people who think and live in a way unimaginable for us before we set foot on the continent. And we will marvel at the natural wonders, historic miracles and cultural brilliances we findthere. All these experiences help to broaden our minds. As a result, our misunderstanding about the continent, if any, will be weeded out, our perspective of seeing the world possibly changed, our mode of thinking altered and, above all, our mind broadened.Reading makes an erudite博学的 man; practicing a capable man; and traveling a broad-minded man.Sample B:Travel has many benefits to offer. It enriches our experiences and helps us know more about the world, aside from relaxing ourselves both physically and psychologically.To begin with, travel is one of the best ways to enrich our experiences. If we visit tourist attractions and historical or cultural relics at different places of our country or foreign lands, we will meet different people, enjoy exotic natural sceneries,have a taste of varied cultures and, in the long run, enrich our knowledge.Moreover, travel also helps to enlighten and broaden our minds, since it provides us with new perspectives through what we learn from other cultures. For example, it helps to reduce cultural prejudice after we have got a better understanding of civilizations that vary sharply from one another.Travel is gaining increasing popularity among us. We travel to relax ourselves, enrich our experiences and broaden our minds.2000年专四真题作文The importance of extracurricular activitiesCollege is a place to raise all-round intellectuals, which means that life on campus should consist of diverse activities rather than mere academic studies; and that’s why extracurricular activities become important.For one thing, extracurricular activities can provide students with real-life experience in decision-making and problem-solving, through which some specific knowledge or skills are required. For example, the development of leadership skills occurs as students assume ownership for the success of their organization. Such experience will help them more about themselves and point the way to their future career. For another, participation in extracurricular activities will enable students todevelop a balance between academic accomplishments and social development. This necessary balance will greatly aid each student to more successfully encounter the challenges of our contemporary society. Moreover, participating in extracurricular activities could also boost students’ development of interpersonal relations hip. The awareness of responsibility, cooperation and punctuality, are fostered as each student interacts with other members of their group.In short, extracurricular activities are vital because they could help students explore their interests and talents, teach them to manage their time and know their limits, as well as fit them in with other students.。

标题，Should College Students Be Allowed to Have Part-time Jobs?Nowadays, the issue of whether college students should be allowed to have part-time jobs has aroused wide public concern. Some people believe that college students should focus on their studies and not be distracted by part-time work, while others argue that part-time jobs can help students gain practical experience and develop important life skills. In my opinion, college students should be allowed to have part-time jobs for the following reasons.First and foremost, having a part-time job can provide college students with valuable practical experience. Many college graduates struggle to find employment after graduation because they lack practical experience in the workplace. By working part-time while in college, students can gain valuable experience in their field of study and develop important skills that will make them more competitive in the job market.Secondly, having a part-time job can help college students develop important life skills such as time management and financial responsibility. By balancing their studies with a part-time job, students can learn how to manage their time effectively and prioritize their responsibilities. Additionally, earning their own money can teach students the value of hard work and financial independence.Furthermore, having a part-time job can help college students build a professional network and make valuable connections in their field of study. Many part-time jobs offer opportunities for students to meet professionals in their industry and make valuable connections that can help them in their future careers. Building a professional network while in college can open up many opportunities for students after graduation.However, it is important to note that college students should not let their part-time jobs interfere with their studies. While working part-time can provide valuable experience and skills, students should always prioritize their academic responsibilities and make sure that their part-time job does not negatively impact their grades.In conclusion, I believe that college students should be allowed to have part-time jobs. Part-time work can provide students with valuable practical experience, help them develop important life skills, and build a professional network in their field of study. However, it is important for students to prioritize their studies and make sure that their part-time job does not interfere with their academic responsibilities. By striking a balance between work and study, college students can benefit greatly from having a part-time job.。

议论文作文模板专四题目专四题目，Should College Education Be Free?In recent years, the debate over whether college education should be free has become increasingly heated. While some argue that free college education is a right that should be provided to all citizens, others believe that it is not feasible and could have negative consequences. In this essay, I will explore the arguments on both sides of the issue and provide my own perspective on whether college education should be free.Those who support the idea of free college education argue that it is a fundamental right that should be accessible to all individuals, regardless of their financial situation. They believe that education is the key to social mobility and that making college free would help to reduce inequality and provide equal opportunities for all. Additionally, they argue that free college education would lead to a more educated and skilled workforce, which would benefit the economy as a whole.On the other hand, opponents of free college education argue that it is not financially feasible and could lead to a devaluation of the college degree. They point out that providing free college education would require a significant amount of government funding, which could strain public resources and lead to higher taxes. Additionally, they argue that making college free could lead to an influx of students who are not academically prepared, which could lower the quality of education and diminish the value of a college degree.In my opinion, while the idea of free college education is appealing in theory, it is not a practical solution. The reality is that providing free college education would require a massive amount of government funding, which could have negative consequences for the economy and public resources. Instead, I believe that the focus should be on making college more affordable and accessible through other means, such as increasing financial aid and scholarships for low-income students.Furthermore, I believe that there are other ways to address the issue of inequality in education, such as improving K-12 education and providing vocational training and alternative pathways to success for those who do not want to pursue a traditional college education. By focusing on these areas, we can ensure that all individuals have access to quality education and the opportunity to succeed, without putting an unsustainable burden on the government and taxpayers.In conclusion, while the idea of free college education is appealing, it is not a practical solution. Instead, we should focus on making college more affordable and accessible through other means, while also addressing the broader issues of inequality in education. By doing so, we can ensure that all individuals have the opportunity to pursue higher education and achieve success, without compromising the quality and value of a college degree.。

Some people think it is not good to do so because this may not make people smart consumers. But in my eyes, the advantages of being careful with money in daily life outweigh the disadvantages.First, being careful with money is a virtue that can always benefit people. Being thrifty is of great help, especially when the economic status around the world is not very good and it becomes harder to earn money than before. A good habit of being careful with money will help many people go through this difficult period or any other difficult financial situation in their life. People with this awareness will think carefully before deciding to buy anything. For sudents, this awareness is also of great help since they mainly depend on their parents for financial supports. When they keep this awareness in their mind, they will definitely avoid wasting money.Secondly, being careful with money is, in fact, a good way of practicsing how to manage one''s money. In current society, it is necessary to learn somthing about finance. But theories are usually hard to learn. In contrast, most people can learn quickly by practising. Being careful with money means an efficient use of money, which, in essence, equals to part of the job of a financial planner. Being careful with money can teach people to make best use of their money.It is true that being too careful with money may have some disadvantages; for example, it may cause people to ignore other aspects of commodities. But overall this behavior is good and has its reality basis. Money-consciousness is always needed in the market-oriented economy.SECTION BApril 20Dear Mathew,I''m writing to show my apology for being unable to wait for you in my dorm. I''m really sorry but I have something urgent to do. You can come to Room 1003, No. 3 Teaching Building to find me. The map on the back of the note will help you.

This festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan, an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people's attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period, these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.Besides, the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice). Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.With the changes of the times, the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year.

As the number of the cars is rising, we are facing some problems. One big problem is the pollution caused by the use of cars. In order to solve this problem, government agencies in some big cities recently suggest that a “pollution tax” should be put on private cars in order to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint, and my reasons are as follows:To begin with, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, a lot of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is the responsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose of collecting environmental pollution tax is to raise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue lever to protect our environment.Secondly, it is a good way to raise people’s environmental awareness by putting a pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss when making a decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they will consider more when deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the private cars can be controlled.In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private car owners, should try their best to protect the environment.2006年专四作文真题：Saving Money is a Good Habit(省钱是好习惯)——关于个人生活Direction：Recently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students in Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi’an, Chengdu, Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing and Shenyang.
