TEM-2011:Should private car owners be taxed for pollution?With the development of society, many people can afford a car. 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.272words TEM-2010:Should College Students Hire Cleaners?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 mostbasic 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.226word TEM-2009: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.251wordsTEM-2008:The Benefits of VolunteeringVolunteering means being willing to help people in need and make contributions to society for no financial rewards. Needless to say, volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those in need and the society. Yet, despite the fact that volunteers are not paid for what they have done, serving as a volunteer, I believe, is also beneficial to the volunteers themselves.First, volunteering helps volunteers improve their interpersonal skills. They can understand people better and have better skills to motivate others and to deal with difficult situations in collaboration with people of different personalities in their volunteering work.Besides, volunteering serves as a good opportunity for volunteers to apply their knowledge to practical problems. This is especially useful for sudden volunteers. For instance, students volunteering to assist foreign guests on big occasions like Canton Fair can not only practice their oral English, but also have first hand experience on the latest development of their field.Finally, volunteering satisfies one’s psychological need for respect and self-fulfillment, and it gives the volunteers a sense of achievement.In a word, volunteering helps to improve one’s interpersonal skills, apply one’s knowledge to practice, and give the volunteers a sense of self-fulfillment. It is of great benefits to the society, but it benefits the volunteers even greater.(216 words) TEM-2007: Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?（1）Is it wise to make friends online? (2) People’s views about this issue vary from one to another. (3) Some people think that it is unwise to make friends online while others think that there is nothing wrong with online friends. (4) In my point of view, although online friends cannot be always trusted, the benefits far outweigh the risks. (5) The reasons are mainly as follows:(6) First of all, it is easy and quick to get to know people and make new friends online. (7) We know friends are indispensable in our daily life but they cannot stay with us wherever we go. (8) For many people, especially college freshmen, leaving friends and the security of home for a new place where they don’t know anyone can be overwhelming. (9) With some online chatting tools such as QQ and MSN, they can talk to people they like and find people with common interests easily. (10) In addition, online friends can help broaden our knowledge about different cultures and customs. (11) Chatting with people from different places and social backgrounds is surely an effective way to understand other cultures and develop cross-cultural communication skills. (12) We can also practice our English in speaking and writing.(13) To sum up, making friends online is amazing. In the online global community we can enjoy an active social life with rewarding experience, so it is wise to make online friends.241wordsTEM-2006:Saving Money is a Good Habit（1）Recently the result of a survey conducted by a Beijing information company has shown that the majority of Chinese students think that saving money is a good habit while the rest prefer to use tomorrow’s money. (2) As is seen to me, the principle of “hard work and thrift” is still at work in China, and I absolutely believe that we will profit more from saving money than from spending tomorrow’s money.(3) Through saving money, we’ll be better prepared for our life. (4) There is an old saying that “a penny saved is a penny earned”. (5) In modern society, life is so changeable that we c an’t predict what will happen in the future. (6) So we’d better get prepared for unexpected emergencies. (7) What’s more, psychologically speaking, saving money means controlling money rather than being controlled by money, and it enables us to be freer and more independent.(8) With the money we’ve saved, we don’t need to be too much concerned about the old age or the monthly installment that we owe to the bank.Of course I don’t mean that we cannot loan money to buy a house or for some enjoyment. What I’m saying is that we must think twice before spending tomorrow’s money. (9) To put it in a nutshell, I’m a great believer that saving money is a good habit.230words TEM-2005:My Idea of a University Arts FestivalAn arts festival will no doubt add much to our campus life, since it, like other group activities, will be a stage on which students from different colleges and departments communicate and share their interests. This festival, of course, needs to be well organized, so as to get everyone involved. While all kinds of activities contribute to this great festival, lectures by leading artists in this country will surely make it more successful.First of all, influential ‘stars’ are always an attraction to involve the greatest number of participants. The main purpose of this festival, just as other campus activities, is to add variety to students’ life. Its results and influence need to be measured more by the number of participants than by their artistic level it will display. The more people get involved, the more successful the festival. While afew of the students are busy performing during the festival, lectures permit the majority to sit there listening and asking their ‘masters’ questions.Secondly, face-to-face communication between students, some of whom are potential artists, and the leading artists is always a bridge linking textbook knowledge and practice. University students spend most of their time learning from textbooks or at the library, but knowing how to do is quite different from doing it. The experience of and advice from those practitioners in the fields of music, movie, and painting help university students to think what else they need to learn and what they will do in the future.What’s more, lectures by well-known experts will enhance the influence of the arts festival and the university. Arts festivals are held in many universities in the city, but they are organized in more or less the same way. As far as I know, lectures are seldom part of them. Therefore, it will promote the reputation of our festival, which is a new comer in the city.In a word, it will be beneficial to invite some experts to give lectures. It will get more students to get involved, students will benefit from lectures by experts, and it will draw more public attention to the festival.(353 words) TEM-2004:Will Phones Kill Letter Writing?Telephone is said to be one of the greatest inventions of the world, which has revolutionized people’s way of life. Although more and more people nowadays tend to phone more t han write letters, I still don’t believe phones will kill letter writing in people’s daily communication.People communicate for different purposes and in different ways. Letters, though traditional in a way, help people express their ideas in a more exact way，without the careless tongue slips of telephone conversations. More importantly, it is long held that “To see is to believe.” and communication in written form is considered to be more formal than that done orally. Therefore, letters are always the preferred way of communication when it comes to formal occasions like job application, nailing down a contract or traveling information confirmation. It is not entirely groundless to say that letters are still indispensable nowadays.In a word, letters have their unique features to satisfy certain communication purposes and will therefore never be replaced by phones in people’s daily life. It’s perhaps more appropriate to say that they supplement each other instead of replacing each other.187words TEM-2003:The Importance of Keeping a Good MoodWith the development of modern science, technology and economics, our living standard has reached an ever higher level. But more and more people are living under greater pressure than ever before. As a consequence, people are increasingly suffering from various distortions both physically and mentally. To help out, it is important that everyone keep a good mood today.There are several reasons for my argument. First, a good mood can create high efficiency. When you work with a good mood, you will feel happy and be willing to do some work which used to be boring. On the contrary, a bad mood can make you passive and do things with reluctance. Second, a good mood is beneficial to your health. If you fail to keep a good mood, you will be feeling depressed and fed up, which is apt to cause some psychological diseases. Third, when you have a good mood, other people around you will be influenced. Thus more and more people will feel happy to communicate with you.To sum up, keeping a good mood is very important both for yourself and for the people around you. If you want to have a happy and successful life, please keep a good mood every day.206wordsTEM-2002:The Best Way to Stay HealthyNowadays，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.Beside s, 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 forsome 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 period 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.Keeping a good quality of mind and keeping a sense of humor are really good. Even if you are 80, and you’ll never be old.(254 words) TEM-2001:Travel Broadens the MindNowadays more and more people choose to travel during their holidays, since travel not only brings leisure and joy but also broadens the mind. As for me, not only can it bring me more historical knowledge, but it can also add to my social experience.Take my trip to Mount Tai for example. As is known to all, it’s a magnificent mountain famous for both the beautiful scenery and the splendid cultural heritage. At the very sight of her, my soul was attached to her. I remembered the poem “Wang Yue” written by Du Fu, I remembered many historic events which happened on this land and I also recalled the responsibility to conserve this heritage. As I climbed up the mountain, our guide told me many things I had never got to know before, which of course broadened my scope of knowledge. It was also on this trip that I made many new friends with whom I exchanged my opinions, and that I got acquainted with some information about first aid and package tour. All this indeed added to my social experience.In short, travel offers a good chance for me to open my eyes and enrich my experience while I can enjoy myself. It broadens the mind in a relaxing way.212words TEM-2000:The Importance of Extracurricular ActivitiesPeople have different ideas about how students should spend their school days. Some believe that students should spend the whole day on academic studies. While others believe that extracurricular activities should be a required part of every school day. Both ways have their advantages. But I prefer the latter. The following are my reasons.As a student, our main task is to concentrate on our academic study. We have to attend classes, reading books and doing assignments. Only by working hard can we learn our courses well. But I don’t think we should spend every hour and minute on academic study. A proverb says, “All work and no play make sJack a dull boy.” Without good h ealth and strong body, how can we improve our study efficiency and make great achievements in our academic study? Besides, spending the whole day on academic study may make us exhausted and weak. We should find other meaningful things to do besides studying. For example, doing extracurricular activities can make students’ life more colorful and beneficial. There are various forms of exercise. My favorite one is football. I play football with my classmates for one hour every afternoon. After a day’s hard wor k, how nice it is to stretch my arms and legs! By playing football I’ve got both joy and strength. I always look energetic.Actually doing extracurricular activities doesn’t disturb our study if we make full use of our time. Instead it does help us study more efficiently. We can be good at learning as well as extracurricular activities. So I suggest that students do extracurricular activities along with their academic studies.(277 words)。

2002The best way to stay healthyNowadays, the desire for good health is universal. Wherever you do, staying healthy is always important. Different people come up with different views. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology.To begin with, keeping a good quality of psychology can reduce the pains. 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 spirits 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 exercises, will benefit you a lot.

Although more and more people nowadays tend to phone more than write letters, I still don’t believe phone will kill letter writing in people’s daily communication.People communicate for different purposes and in different ways. Letters, though traditional in a way, help people express their ideas in a more exact way. Without the careless tough slips of telephone conversation, writing letters would not cause the same unnecessary embarrassment as that in the case of telephone conservation. More importantly, it is long held that “To see is to believe.”And communication in written form is considered to be more formal than that done orally. Therefore, letters are always the preferred way of communication when it comes to formal occasions like job application, nailing down a contract or travelling information confirmation.

It’s perhaps more appropriate to say that they supplement each other instead of replacing each other.2005My idea of university arts festivalUniversity arts festival has always been a big occasion to display students’ talent in art as well as to cultivate their artistic taste. Therefore, to make the incoming arts festival more fruitful, I personally think it should include two parts: one is to organize some art activities among students such as singing, painting, photography, recitation or short play contests, and the other is to invite all kinds of art troupes to campus to stage excellent performances of ballet, orchestra or drama for our students.As regards why university arts festival should be organized in this way, there are mainly two reasons: to develop students’artistic potential and to enhance their aesthetic ability. By participating in art contests, students not only have a golden opportunity to show their special gift for art but also undergo sort of training through preparation, rehearsal and get involved in art activities and help bring out the best of them in this aspect. Professional performance groups, on the other hand, bring students an artistic feast, which is not readily accessible to them in normal times. Such an intimate contact with real art enables students to understand art better and appreciate it properly, which will refine their artistic taste in the long run.Since my idea of arts festival integrates training students’ artistic ability with improving their aesthetic taste, I believe it will go a long way in art education, which is also the ultimate aim of university art festival.2006…saving money is a good habit while the rest believe that using tomorrow’s money today is better.Recently the result of a survey conducted by a Beijing information company has shown that the majority of Chinese students think that saving money is a good habit while the rest prefer to use tomorrow’s money. As is seen to me, the principle of “hard work and thrift” is still at work in China, and I absolutely believe that we will profit more from saving money than from spending tomorrow’s money.Through saving money, we’ll be better prepared for our life.

What I’m saying is that we must think twice before spending tomorrow’s money. To put it in a nutshell(简括地说), I am a great believer that saving money is a good habit.2007Is it wise to make friends online?Is it wise to make friends online?

We can also practice our English in speaking and writing.To sum up, making friends online is amazing. In the online global community we can enjoy an active social life with rewarding experiences, so it is wise to make online friends.2008The benefits of volunteeringV olunteering means being willing to help people in need and make contributions to society for no financial rewards. Needless to say, volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those in need and the society. Y et, despite the fact that volunteers are not paid for what they have done, serving as a volunteer, I believe, is also beneficial to the volunteers themselves.First, volunteering helps volunteers improve their interpersonal skills.

It is of great benefit to the society, but it benefits the volunteer even greater.2009Will tourism bring harm to the environment?In recent years, China has witnessed rapid growth in tourism. It is true that tourism can play an important role in booming the national economy, but I am afraid that too much tourism may cause grave harm or bring about risks and diseases to the environment.There are many ways in which tourism brings about bad effects to the environment. One of the examples is that in order to attract tourists, large patches of woods were eliminated to built accommodation facilities as well as artificial scenic spots. This unavoidably destroys the natural beauty of the scenic spots. Worse still, it breaks the ecological balance of these areas, resulting in the shortage of farm land, water and animals. Moreover, with large numbers of tourists flooding into the scenic spots every year, they have produced all kinds of garbage everywhere, placing much pressure on environment protection.All in all, too much tourism brings harm to the environment in many ways. So it is unwise to sacrifice the environment for the unreasonably rapid growth of tourism, and there should be a balance between tourism development and environment protection.2010Should college students hire cleaners?Should college students hire cleaners? Students’ views in this issue vary one to another. 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. In my point of view, although there are some conveniences of hiring cleaners, the losses far outweigh the benefits. The reasons are mainly as follows:First of all, students lose the opportunities to enhance their unity and friendship. Friends are indispensable in college life, especially for freshmen. It is a chance for them to develop friendship and teamwork when they clean dorms together and do laundry together. With the joy of working for their own surroundings, they can appreciate college life better. In addition, students become more independent by taking care of their own lives. 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.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.2011Should private car owners be taxed for pollution?In recent years, China has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of private cars, whichhas inevitably worsened the state of air pollution. Confronted with this problem, government agencies in some big cities have been considering taxing private car owners for pollution. This issue has given rise to a heated discussion. For my part, I’m all for the idea of a pollution tax.In the first place, private car owners should pay for the harm they do to the environment. It is an accepted fact that the environment has suffered greatly from car emissions, which partly account for deteriorating air quality, acid rain, and even global warming. Therefore, it is quite reasonable for private car owners to pay a polluting tax, if they insist on using a private car. Furthermore, with this tax, the government will hopefully curb the soaring number of private cars. For instance, given strict policies like this, some people may have to put aside the plan of buying a car. In addition, such a tax serves as a warning of the grave situation of air pollution, which will then help raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.To sum up, the pollution tax will be of great benefit in the long run. If strictly enforced, this policy will sure contribute to the protection of our environment.。

Should Private Car Owners Be Taxed for Pollution?With the economic development in China during the past 20 years or so, our living standard has been raised to such an extent that more and more people have bought or will soon buy private cars. Traffic congestion and air pollution have ensued. To handle this difficult situation, some government agencies have been studying the possibility of putting “pollution tax”on private cars. Personally, I applaud this proposal as it will go a long way towards dealing with pollution.First of all, few people wouldn’t pause to think after realizing they have to pay more than they expected on a car. Having pondered the pros and cons of having a car of their own, they might give up the idea for the time being due to the unexpected financial burden. When there are fewer cars on the road, there, of course, will be less pollution. Even if some of them decide to buy a car still, they cannot help but take into consideration the emission level, which is the deciding factor concerning how much pollution tax they have to pay. The fact that people want less tax lures them, subconsciously or not, into buying cars which are less harmful to the environment.Secondly, this “pollution tax”proposal would not only alleviate pollution, but also render much financial support to environmental protection since the tax payers’money would undoubtedly help raise the funds for various programs to solve any pollution-related issue. From this perspective, we could see that the money taken away from us will actually be used for our own benefits and those of our offspring.To conclude, it is a necessary and beneficial attempt to use taxation to reduce pollution. It should be borne in mind that any decision we make today will affect the world we live tomorrow. Let us all spare no effort to protect our environment from now and here!April 18th, 2011 Dear Linda,The summer vacation is around the corner. I would like to invite you to my home town Beijing for a visit. We’ve been best friends for years but you’ve never been to my home town. It’s pretty easy to get here. Just take a two-hour train from your home town to Beijing and I’ll pick you up at the train station. What do you say? I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you!Lora。

1.Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will“Where there is a will, there is way” is an old proverb which almost everyone knows, but not all understand it so well.Actually, it means that if you are really resolved to do something, no matter how difficult it might be, never give up.In fact, strong will is a kind of good quality which successful people should own.A great man is always one who has a firm resolution and an inflexible spirit.One will never succeed all his life without a firm will to get the final victory.As a rule, great tasks are accomplished by men of strong will.For example, Dr.Sun Yatsen, the founder of the Republic of China, set the Chinese people free from the Manchurian rule through a long period of hard struggle.Many of his attempts failed and many of his followers were killed, but he had an inflexible spirit and stuck to his cause.Finally, he made the revolution of 1911 a success.The same is true of men in all walks of life.It is quite obvious that there is nothing difficult in the world, if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end.That stands to reason.So as for students like us, we should have a good attitude towards failure.Facing with difficulties and failures, keep heads up and never give up.Besides, we should make full preparation, though strong will help usovercomethe diffioulties, it is not for person who has no preparation.2.We have spoken, written and discussed quite a lot on the relationship between iron will and success.Many people dream of becoming scientists, millionaires or superstars.However, without iron will, do you think they can succeed in making their dreams come true?Beyond all doubt, iron will plays a key role in being successful.At the top of the list, there must be difficulties in the way toward success.Apparently, the iron will is a strong weapon for against difficulties.In addition, positive attitude is indispensable to success.It is the iron will that can provoke positive attitude.T o be successful, everyone needs to understand the close relationship between iron will and success.In one word, no an iron will today, no success tomorrow.3.Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong WillAs we have read from above, quitting-smoking seems easy, but in reality it is rarely achieved.There is something provoking and interesting in this paradox, just because sword does not wear the stone as dripping water does.The ability to do something over and over again in a short time may imply its easiness, but in a long run, a lifetime maybe, things turn out to be quite the opposite.Also, as is often the case, one may have obtained all the tools and opportunities to achieve something, but in the end they still fail due to the will shortage.So how could we avoid the dilemma? Here is the prime condition of success: will and perseverance.Concentrate you energy, thought and mind exclusively on the business in which you are engaged, hang on in there and be patient, for, as Emerson put it, no one can cheat you out of your ultimate success but yourself.第二篇：英语作文四级考试Traffic jams are very commonly-seen in big cities, and a big headache for the citizens.In rush hours, endless cars get stuck on the road, and the whole city is like a huge parking lot.The driving restrictions, therefore, are put forward to alleviate the traffic problems in big cities.By implementing driving restrictions, around half of the private cars can be reduced from the road, which will help decrease the possibility of traffic jams.I believe that the driving restriction can be effective, but it is not the only way out.If the car ownership is increasing continuously, this policy will have limited effects.So the government should look at other areas to address the traffic problem, including reasonable road design, and encouragement of the public using public transport system.交通拥挤在大城市是很常见的，并为公民的一大难题。

英语专四作文真题及范文(16篇)Wuzhen is an old water town in Zhejiang, located in the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand C****. Wuzhen is attractive with lots of ancient bridges, Chinese-styled hotels and restaurants. The river system and life styles of Wuzhen stayed nearly unchanged over the past 1,000 years, and therefore Wuzhen became a museum displaying ancient civilization. All of the houses in Wuzhen were built of stone-wood. Residences and markets were constructed along the river by the local people over hundreds of years. Numberless spacious and beautiful yards are hided among houses, which give the tourists surprises as they step into each of them.——历年英语四级作文真题3篇英语专四作文真题及范文第10篇英语专四作文真题及范文第11篇英语专四作文真题及范文第15篇While we often hear some people say that they have great plans and fantastic dreams, they seldom put their plans into reality. These people are the talker not the actor. However, it is the actor not the talker who can achieve the goal.Rome was not built in one day. We should realize our dream step by step. Although one day’s improvement is little, it can finallybecome tremendous, so we should not look down upon the trival things. Takestudy for example, those who stand out in the class are often not the smart ones who ignore everyday actions but the ones who are deligent and devide their dreams into everyday’s action.Therefore, go out there to see what happens, and go out there to make something happen. Only when you go out to act everyday can you make your dreams come true.英语专四作文真题及范文第16篇In the past, a great many people used to use disposable plastic bags for shopping and other purposes. However, the excessive use of disposable plastic bags has led to great damages both to environment and to peoples health.过去，许多人在购物或其他时候常常使用一次性塑料袋。

Now, you have been asked by the Students' Union to write a passage entitled:THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY COLLEGE LIFE AND MY MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFEas part of an introduction programme for new students coining in September.You are to write in three paragraphs.In the first paragraph, state clearly what you think the main difference between college and middle school life.In the second paragraph, state which life you prefer and why.In the last paragraph, bring what you have, written to a natural conclusion with a summary or suggestion.Marks will be awarded far content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.参考样文The Main Difference Between My College Life and My MiddleSchool LifeAs every college student would agree，life in college is different from that in middle sch001．In my opinion．the main difference lies in the fact that we enjoy more independence at college．As far as I‟m concerned，I prefer the college life to the middle school life．For one thing，I live on my own：wash my own clothes，buy my own food，looking myself．I make my daily decisions of my own will．For another，I depend heavily on myself in my study．I have plenty of free time outside the classroom．In order to achieve academic success，I can derive as much from the teachers‟lectures as from my own diligence．In the absence of pressure from both the college and the family，I must have a workableplan of my own．To sum up，I live a quite different life at college from that in my middle school in that I am much more responsible for my own life and study．To those newcomers，1 would suggest they break away from their parents‟ tender care and stand on their own feet．97TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]Write a composition of about 150 words on the following topic: Some of your classmates think that more pressure from academic studies is not beneficial to students. You either agree or disagreewith them.MORE PRESSURE FROM ACADEMIC STUDIES DOES (OR DOES NO) GOOD TO USYou are to write in three paragraphs.In the first paragraph state clearly what your view is.In the second paragraph, support your view with details.In the last paragraph, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion with a summary or suggestion.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.参考样文More Pressure From Academic Studies Does No Good to Us It is believed one of the main problems with today's education is that too much emphasis is placed on test scores. It has become the most important criterion for college enrollment. A student, however creative and intelligent, will not be admitted into a college, for assignment or in employment competitions if his/her test scores are not high enough. Therefore, students are faced with more and more pressure from academic studies. In my opinion, this is harmful for students' overall development.First, the competition for high scores among students becomesintense. Students find themselves concentrating more on strategies to achieve high scores than on acquiring the knowledge. They will play truant of some subsidiary courses, skip over the substance which will not be tested on. Second, teachers are apt to give their students high scores. As their job is judged mainly by students' performance in terms of scores, some teachers tend to set easy papers to test their students on or narrow down the scope of the exam, even give them the hints to exams, or favor their students with high scores.In fact, times are different. The criteria for good college students are changing now. It is tree that good marks continue to be some students' dream, yet there are a growing number of students who are concerned much more about things other than academic achievement. Job market demands personnel with both intelligent and non-intelligent qualities. Therefore, students today should be better prepared for challenges and competition upon graduation.98TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]It is now generally accepted that vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) are a major source of air pollution in cities. You are to suggest only ONE way to solve the problem.Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:ONE WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMYou are to write in three paragraphs.In the first paragraph, state what your suggested way is.In the second paragraph, state one or two advantages of your suggestion.In the last paragraph, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.One Way to Solve the ProblemToo many vehicles, such as cars, tracks, motorcycles, have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, they are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big dries. All the time, the vehicles are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are harmful, causing disease and even death.One possible solution that may reduce air pollution created by so many vehicles is to develop modem public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not have private cars. And the total numberof cars in big cities will reduce greatly. People would find more room to walk, to jog, to perform what they used to do in the open air. Moreover, dirt, noise exhaust, parked cars, and smog would decrease greatly.There is no inherent incompatibility between man in an urban setting and the automobile. But we don't want cars to seize our living space. We take for granted that everyone could enjoy the pleasure of stretching his legs freely, breathing and sniffing the air cheerfully. On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the co-efforts from the government, the public and the environments.2000 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic: College life should be varied and colourful. And extracurricular activities are an important aspect of it. However, at present, there is much room for improvement in this regard. Write an article to the university radio entitled:The Importance of Extracurricular ActivitiesIn the first part of your article you should clearly present your view, and in the second part you should support your opinion with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or summary. Marks will be awardedfor content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.The Importance of Extracurricular ActivitiesDear Editor,People have different ideas about how students should spend their school days. Some believe that students should spend the whole day on academic studies. Others believe that extracurricular activities should be a required part of every school day. I think both ways have their advantages. But I prefer the latter.As a student, our main task is to concentrate on our academic study. We have to attend classes, reading books and doing assignments. Only by working hard can we learn our courses well. But I don‟t think we should spend every hour and minute on academic study. A proverb says, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Without good health and strong body, how can we improve our study efficiency and make great achievements in our academic study? Besides, spending the whole day on academic study may make us exhausted and weak. We should find other meaningful things to do besides studying. For example, doing extracurricular activities can make students‟ life more colorful and beneficial. There are various forms of exercise. My favorite one is football. I playfootball with my classmates for one hour every afternoon. After aday‟s hard work, how nice it is to stretch my arms and legs! By playing football I‟ve got both joy and strength. I always look energetic.Act ually doing extracurricular activities doesn‟t disturb our study if we make full use of our time. Instead it does help us study more efficiently. We can be good at learning as well as extracurricular activities. So I suggest that students do extracurricular activities along with their academic studies.Yours Sincerely,T om Smith2001TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]Travel has become part of our life. And more and more of us have come to know the significance of travel through our own experience. Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 wordson the following topic:TRA VEL BROADENS THE MINDYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state what the topic actually means to you.In the second part, give one or two examples to illustrate your ideas.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusionor a summary.Travel Broadens the MindNowadays, travel has become a popular activity. More and more people have enough money to travel abroad or at home. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. This situation is encouraging, for it not only broadens people's minds to the extend which may not be reached previously, but also relaxes them physically, which help people work out mental problems more actively.One of my best friends is so exclusively engaged in his works that he did not even know what was happening out of his own discipline. What‟s worse, his progress was nearly little. After accepting my advice, he travelled a few cities and towns. The experience gave him a good opportunity of learning. Today, he gets a bumper harvest in his knowledge——the longstanding dream of entering graduate school comes true.In conclusion, travel opens our mind because it enables us to know about the history and culture of a nation. In a way, going on travels is like reading books.2002 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN] Nowadays people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of health. And they have different ways to stay healthy.For example, some exercise every day; others try to keep a balanced diet. What do you think is the best way to stay healthy?Write a composition of about 150 words on the following topic: THE BEST WAY TO STAY HEALTHYYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state what you think is the best way.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.The Best Way to Stay HealthyNowadays，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 depressio n andsadness. 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 period 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 humour, even if you are 80, and you‟ll never be old.2003 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN] People in modern society live under a lot of pressure, from education, career, or family. So it is important for them to keep a good mood under whatever circumstances. Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A GOOD MOODYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state specifically what your view is.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A GOOD MOODPeople in modern society live under a lot of pressure. I see 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, the society for the fierce competition. I think 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 from 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 emotional well-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.2004 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN] Nowadays young people tend to phone more often than write to each other. So, some say that phones will kill letter writing. What is your opinion?Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:WILL PHONES KILL LETTER WRITING?You are to write in three parts.In the first part, state specifically what your view is.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.Letter Writing Will Not Be Killed Nowadays, 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 theInformation Age.First, 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.2005 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]The students‟ Union of your university is planning to hold an artsfestival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIV ALYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state what you think is the best way.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.My Idea of a University Arts FestivalAn arts festival will no doubt add much to our campus life, since it, like other group activities, will be a stage on which students from different colleges and departments communicate and share their interests. This festival, of course, needs to be well organized, so as to get everyone involved. While all kinds of activities contribute to this great festival, lectures by leading artists in this country will surely make it more successful.First of all, influential …stars‟ are always an attraction to involve the greatest number of participants. The main purpose of this festival, just as other cam pus activities, is to add variety to students‟ life. Itsresults and influence need to be measured more by the number of participants than by their artistic level it will display. The more people get involved, the more successful the festival. While a few of the students are busy performing during the festival, lectures permit the majority to sit there listening and asking their …masters‟ questions. Secondly, face-to-face communication between students, some of whom are potential artists, and the leading artists is always a bridge linking textbook knowledge and practice. University students spend most of their time learning from textbooks or at the library, but knowing how to do is quite different from doing it. The experience of and advice from those practitioners in the fields of music, movie, and painting help university students to think what else they need to learn and what they will do in the future. What‟s more, lectures by well-known experts will enhance the influence of the arts festival and the university. Arts festivals are held in many universities in the city, but they are organized in more or less the same way. As far as I know, lectures are seldom part of them. Therefore, it will promote the reputation of our festival, which is a new comer in the city.In a word, it will be beneficial to invite some experts to give lectures. It will get more students to get involved, students will benefit from lectures by experts, and it will draw more public attention to the festival.2006 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN] Recently a Beijing information company did a survey of student lifeamong more than 700 students in Beijing, Guangzhou ,Xi 'an, Chengdu , Shanghai , Wuhan, Nanjing ,and Shenyang . The results have shown that 67 percent of students think that saving money is a good habit while the rest believe that using tomorrow's money today is better, what do you think?Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:Saving Money or Spending Tomorrow’s Money You are to write in three parts.In the first part, state what you think is the best way.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.You should supply an appropriate title for your composition.Saving Money or Spending Tomorrow’s Money Recently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students in Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi‟an, Chengdu and Shanghai, etc. To my surprise, almost 67 percent of students regarded saving money as a good habit. As far as I am concerned, spending tomorrow‟s money today is a better and wiser option.First of all, spending tomorrow‟s money may improve our living standards and enable us to live a happy and well-to-do life. Still remember the wide-spread story about two old ladies—one is American and the other is Chinese. In her life the American lady spent tomorrow‟s money, enjoying the capacious houses, luxuriouscars and all the modern electrical appliances. Before she died, she had paid off all her loans, and she said she had no regret in her life and she had led a happy life. On the other hand, the Chinese one just saved money, living a hard life. When she died, she finally could afford the luxurious houses with her savings, but she had no time to enjoy it any longer. What a poor lady! What‟s more, spending tomorrow‟s money also plays a significant role in the economy of our country. Since it can spur people to make more money to enjoy life, the consumerism by this trend will undoubtedly drive forward our economy. With the country‟s economy developed, the best beneficiary is our common people. In other word, it is the best way to ensure a life free from poverty and anxiety about future.All in all, with benefits to both our personal lives and the development of the country, spending tomorrow‟s money in advance will be a sensible choice, comparing with a life of saving money all life long which will surely brings us poverty.2007 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN] Nowadays the Internet has become part of people‟s life, and millionof young people have made friends online.Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:Is It Wise to Make Friends OnlineYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state what you think is the best way.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?Internet, as one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century, has greatly changed our life. Nowadays, more and more young people have many friends online, which, as far as I am concerned, has more benefits than negative efforts.Firstly, Internet enlarges our circle of friends considerably. No other ways of communication enable us to makes friends all around the world as easily as Internet does. As long as we can speak English or other foreign languages, we are able to chat with Americans, Japanese as well as European people, and therefore, to broaden our views by exposing ourselves to various cultures and experiences. Apart from that, we tend to be more honest and straightforward when we make online friends than in real life. Since in the cyberspace, we cannot see others‟faces, we do not have to worry about the negative results brought by direct communication. For instance, we are free to air our opinions on some sensitive issues of the society, and share our little secrets with our online friends with ease. In this way, online friendship gives rise to more openness and less stress or pressure at the same time.While many people argue that making friends online is notstable or even dangerous, I posit that embracing this technological innovation by becoming a true netizen is definitely a wise choice.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.。

illustrated in the picture， a pupil is asking his father why he is going to school if his phone already knows everything.It can be known that the pupil lacks a thorough understanding of going to school.Compared with the phone， there are certain things that can be only achieved by going to school.In the first place， going to school endows us with the eXperiences of getting along withothers.Only by contacting people can our interpersonal skills be developed.The phone only provides information in an environment where there is just the phone and you.Secondly，you can consult your teacher face to face about any detail of your question， which cannot be done on your st but not least，school is a place where you can learn to be independent.If you stay with your parents all the time， you will never truly grow up.To conclude， it’s a necessity for kids to go to school.It is a truth which should be well acknowledged that school can never be replaced by the phone.英语专四作文真题及范文第3篇怎样改善学生的心理健康1.学生心理健康的重要性2.学校应该怎样做3.学生自己应该怎样做【范文】How to improve psychological health?As is known to all， psychological health is as important as， if not more important than， physical health for a student during his/her growth.However，its quite worrying that nowadays some students are not quite psychologically healthy.Undoubtedly， schools nd universities should take greataccount in the responsibilities of students psychological health.Relevant courses and activities should be introduced to students so that they would be more aware of the significance of psychological health and find appropriate ways to maintain ?and improve it.For eXample，there should be a psychological counseling hotline or office for students to turn to when they need some psychological aid.Of course no psychological health can be obtained without the efforts from the students themselves.From my perspective，what they can do is trying to stay positive， optimistic and follow the right guidelines from their schools.To be more specific， they can participate in some activities such as voluntary work to cultivate an opening and caring mind.Meanwhile， harmful impacts from the cyber space should definitely be avoided.英语专四作文真题及范文第4篇Adaptation Should Not Go Too Far From the ClassicsIn recent years， many classics， especially the Four Great Classical Novels，have been adapted in improper ways.For eXamples， in a TV series adapted from Journey to the West，Monkey King ridiculously falls in love with an evil spirit.It has gone too far from the original version in which the uprightMonkey shows no mercy to ant evil spirit.Various reasons account for this phenomenon.Firstly，readers or audiences preference plays a critical role.In this market economy， where there is demand， there is supply.So many playwriters or directors cater for these peoples need.Secondly，some producers want to attract people and make profit.To curb this phenomenon， I think two measures should be taken.First， its necessary to change the way people treat classics.An adapted version that goes too far from the original one is not merely disrespect to the author， but also misleads the readers or the audiences.Second， the concerned authority should check and ban TV series，videos or books that spoofclassics.——6月英语四级考试真题「卷三翻译」3篇英语专四作文真题及范文第5篇Suppose you have two options upon graduation.One is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school.You are to make a choice between the two.Write an essay to eXplain the reasons for your choice.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.参考范文Upon graduation， virtually all college students willconfront the problem of the career choice，which is truly a tough choice.Students opinions differ greatly on this issue.Some hold that priority should be given to take a job， but others take the attitude that going to a graduate school is the most critical factor influencing their future career choices.As to

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.

Thisfestival 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 environmentalpollution 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.
