Part I作文2010年6月大学英语四级真题答案及解析完整版——作文范文四级作文范文参考：Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling1．如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视拼写2．出现这种现象的原因3．我认为……（措施）Nowadays fewer and fewer students pay attention to their word-spelling. According to a recent survey, there is a dramatic increase in the number of students who can only imitate the pronunciation of a word but be incapable of spelling it. In this essay I will discuss the factors of this phenomenon and offer my own view on it.There are a number of factors can be accountable for this situation. One of the most common factors is that fewer and fewer students need to write English essays. Besides, the goal of most students to learn English is to speak it and pass the examination which means they just need to select the similar words according to the listening materials and passages. Perhaps the most contributing factor is the wide use of electronic devices such as e-dictionaries and computers and students no longer need to correct the words by themselves.As far as I’m concerned, I firmly argue that we need to attach great importance to word-spelling. To the students, they should write English as much as they can. Meanwhile, to the teachers, the dictations should be reinforced in the class.四级作文解析：（昂立阿古琳娜）此次四级作文仍是考的热点话题现象，此前在我们昂立的课堂上一直向四级考生强调该种类型议论文的重要性。
