Model Test 1A Letter of SympathyIn today’s newspaper, I read about the severe flood in your hometown and I am writing to extend my deepest concerns.It hurts to see all the pictures of destroyed homes and homeless people in the tragic flood. I couldn’t help shedding tears when I saw a little girl crying on the roof of her house and asking for help. I am especially worried about you, your family and all your friends there. I am crossing my fingers for you now in a hope that you are all safe and sound..I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you, and I want to extend to you my sincere support. Our government and many nongovernmental organizations are initiating various campaigns to urge people to donate money and necessary materials to your hometown. I donated all my allowance that I have been saving for years.I feel extremely sorry about this tragedy, and I am looking forward to hearing from you. Please pass my concern on to your parents.Model Test 2My View on the Income GapNow the income gap is getting wider and wider. In some privately owned firms, joint-ventures, or foreign-funded companies, an executive’s yearly income can be ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker’s.Faced with this situation, people will undoubtedly have different opinions. Some believe that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force of growth is often derived from the gap. In other words, the gap inspires people and gives a push a advancement. Others speak of its side effect. Income gap is often the root of social unrest and also contrary to a socialist country’s principle.From my point of view, while it is true that the income gap may stimulate social development to some extent, it causes trouble as well. An income gap that is too wide for most people to bear can neither contribute to the stability of a country nor promote its long-term economic development. Therefore, while we are pursuing a rapid development of our country, we should take some actions to resolve the problem of an increasingly wide income gap.Model Test 3To Be a Qualified Global CitizenWith the growing trend of globalization, citizens all over the world are more like living in one extended family---the Earth. Family members---Easterners or Westerners, young or old, male or female---should contribute to its harmonious construction and development.Basically, to be a qualified global citizen means to think and act on global terms. As the hope and backbone of the country, contemporary Chinese college students should always bear in mind issues of common concern, such as energy crisis, environment pollution, global warming, terrorism, etc. actions speak louder than words. Qualified global citizens will take action in their daily life: using recyclable materials, saving water, electricity and other natural resources, and respecting other people and their values…The slogan of the 29th Olympic Games held in Beijing says: “One world, one dream.”Only when we share responsibility, care about and collaborate with each other, can we realize our dream and live in harmony as global citizens.Model Test 4School or MajorRecent years have witnessed a steady increase in the popularity of such majors as international finance, finance and accountancy, etc. In the meantime, whether to choose a good university or a good major has provoked a debate.It is true that graduates from prestigious universities are more popular in labor markets, so many students would spare no efforts to be enrolled in good universities, which means standing on the threshold of a promising career after graduation. But even the best university has unpopular majors, thus graduates from these majors could encounter much difficulty in finding a job, let alone a good one, which means they would be out of work immediately after graduation.What about a good major then? Maybe you are studying in a common university, but your major is of great competition, then do you still need to worry about your future? A good major can, to some extent, ensure your future success. If your major is exclusive to only several universities, you will surely be especially competitive in the real world. Do not merely focus on the name of a university---choosing a good major suitable to you is wiser.Model Test 5The Teacher-Student RelationshipA good teacher-student relationship can effectively further students to a higher level in study. Teachers with patience and understanding encourage their students instead of pushing or forcing them forward. This sort of relationship makes learning so enjoyable and interesting that students would work hard willingly.However, a bad relationship between teachers and students seriously weakens the achievement of teaching. It discourages students from learning, leaving them with a wrong and negative attitude towards study. Thus, teaching also becomes an unpleasant task, which forms a vicious circle.Now that a good teacher-student relationship makes a teacher’s job worthwhile, while a bad one negatively affects a student’s development even to the rest of his life, more importance should be attached to the relationship between teachers and students.Model Test 6Should Colleges Ban House HelpNowadays, students in growing numbers are becoming house service companies’customers, which raises a hot discussion as to whether schools should ban house help.Those opposing school’s ban say hiring help to do cleaning, students can same time for more important things like study and social activities. However, some education experts point out, in a disagreeing tone, that colleges are where students learn to live independently and cultivate theirwork ethic. Hiring cleaning staff does not help.I, myself, suggest college ban house help. Firstly, doing housework not only helps students live an independent life but also cultivates good living habits. Secondly, since most students are not financially independent, it’s actually students’ parents who are paying for the house help service. Thirdly, with strangers coming in and out of the dorms, students and their personal belongings will be at risk. Lots of problems stemming from it will become dorm management personnel’s headache.Therefore, it’s better for schools to ban students from hiring house help. Cleaning dorms is part and parcel of campus life, which helps students grow up to be a mature and independent person.Model Test 7Mobile Phone Uses Should Be Restricted in LibraryThe improper use of mobile phones is becoming increasingly serious in the library. Many students are found talking loudly on phones or taking a phone in audible ringing mode into the library.There is no doubt that those poor manners have a negative impact on library users. For one thing, mobile phones are a distraction for those who use mobile phones, for they can hardly focus on reading. For another, such behavior causes disturbance to other library users. It’s very important for the users to maintain a quiet atmosphere since the library is a place for study and research.All students should comply with library regulations and keep quiet in the library. If they do need to use mobile phones, they can set their mobile phones in silence mode and make phone calls in designated areas, such as restrooms, photocopier rooms and the elevator area.It is firmly believed that restriction on mobile phone uses in the library helps to create an excellent atmosphere and does good to all library users.Model Test 8A Letter to ParentsDear mom and dad,I’ve received your letter asking me whether I have landed a fob. I know you worry a lot about my job, but I’ve decided to start my own business after graduation.It’s true that setting up my own business has its own risks, but I believe the risk is worth the rewards. First of all, I , b starting a new company, am creating jobs rather than wading into the job market and competing for the limited jobs there. Besides, it’s gratifying to create something from scratch. I’ll never get bored since every day there will be something new and challenging.As you know, I’ve take business-related courses in college to learn how to start and run a business. And one year spent in IT industry as and intern helps me come up with something that perfectly fits into the local market. S to money, there industry banks that are willing to back sound business plans. I’m fully prepared for a start-up. So please give me your blessing. One day, my company may grow from a start-up to a multimillion-dollar corporation.Take care and your good health is the biggest support to my career.Yours dearest son,HenryModel test 9My School LifeTwo years has flied by before I know it. I, once a childish high-school boy, am now a junior college student. So many things have happened in the past two years that I hardly remember them all, but one of them still remains so fresh in my memory.It was in my first year in college that I took part in an English Speech Contest. Being a top student and highest scholarship winner, I was so sure to win a prize in the contest. But disappointedly, I even didn’t pass the preliminary round. Adding to my distress was the impression that all my classmates were laughing at me and among among them was Henry who won the 3rd prize. Because of the failing experience, I decided not to enter for the contest in the second year. However, quite out of my expectation, Henry came to me and persuaded me to prepare for the coming contest with him. Moved by his sincerity, I worked hard in preparation for the contest and ended up winning the first prize and a best friend, Henry. The valuable experience teaches me that it’s not realistic to expect everything to always work in my favor. The setbacks and challenges are just as important for my growth as the good times.As a junior, I still have two years to go. I hope the coming two years could help me learn to be independent and acquire precious knowledge, and prepare me for my professional career.Model test 10Caring for the ElderlyAging is becoming a global issue, with the development of medical technology which makes it possible for people to live longer than in the past. And caring for the elderly has become a major concern for all who live in an aging society.Then, what can we do for the aging population as college students? We may begin from taking care of our elderly relatives. Many of us may live in a family where parents are members of sandwich generation who care for senior citizens, who have a child at home and who, in many cases, must balance paid work and family life. It’s helpful if we can visit our aging grandparents on a regular basis, take them out for a walk and talk about the old days. What’s more, it is a good idea to fill our spare time working as volunteers to care for the elderly at nursing homes. Last but not least, we may join the effort with our knowledge in constructing an elderly caring system with the integration of families, communities, welfare institution and governments.Admittedly, caring for the elderly is a demanding task that can be time-consuming. However, the living condition of senior citizens shows a nation’s living standard and social morals. More importantly, living with the elderly and taking care of them is a rewarding experience.。
Model Test 1A Letter of SympathyIn today’s newspaper, I read about the severe flood in your hometown and I am writing to extend my deepest concerns.It hurts to see all the pictures of destroyed homes and homeless people in the tragic flood.

2012年6月英语四级作文英文回答:First and foremost, the concept of "happiness" is highly subjective and varies greatly from individual to individual. What brings happiness to one person may not necessarily bring happiness to another. Therefore, defining a universal concept of happiness is a challenging task. However, certain factors, such as a sense of purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth, are often associated with happiness.Material possessions, while they can provide temporary satisfaction, do not equate to happiness in the long run. True happiness stems from within, from a sense offulfillment and contentment. This can be achieved through pursuing activities that bring joy, connecting with loved ones, and contributing to society in a meaningful way.Happiness is not a constant state; it is a journey withits ups and downs. Embracing both the positive and negative experiences is essential for a fulfilling and balanced life. It is important to remember that even in times of adversity, there is always hope and the potential for happiness.Happiness is not something that can be pursued directly; it is a byproduct of living a life in accordance with one's values and passions. It is about finding meaning andpurpose in the present moment and engaging in activitiesthat bring joy and fulfillment.中文回答:1、幸福是个体化的概念,每个人对幸福的定义不尽相同。

For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Small Schools RisingThis year’s list of the top 100 high scho ols shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing.Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构),the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.Size isn’t everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. The movement includes independent public charter schools, such as No.1 BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18 graduates this year. It embraces district-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented and Gifted School, with 198 students, and the Science and Engineering Magnet,with383,which share a building in Dallas, as well as the City Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer evening seminars for students. And it includes alternative schools with students selected by lottery(抽签),such as H-B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching to the same band.Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one of those, ranking No.423—among the top 2% in the country—on Newsweek’s annual ranking of America’s top high schools. The success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating Classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22. Nearly 250 schools on the full ,Newsweek list of the top 5% of schools nationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.Although many of Hillsdale’s students came from wealthy households, by the late 1990 average test scores were sliding and it had earned the unaffectionate nickname (绰号) “Hillsjail. ” Jeff Gilbert. A Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year, remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and asking one another in astonishment, “How did that student graduate?”So in 2003 Hills dale remade itself into three “houses,” romantically named Florence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly(随机地) assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of “advisory” classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they are deeply invested in the students’ success.“We’re constantly talking about one another’s advisers,” says English teacher Chris Crockett. “If you hear that yours isn’t doing well in math, or see them sitting outside the dean’s office, it’s like a personal failure.” Along with the new structure came a more demandingacademic program, the percentage of freshmen taking biology jum ped from 17 to 95.“It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics,” says Gilbert “Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them.”But not all schools show advanc es after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has come in for its share of criticism for its simplicity. But that is also its strength: it’s easy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schools if they’d like.Ranking schools is always controversial, and this year a group of 38 superintendents(地区教育主管)from five states wrote to ask that their schools be excluded from the calculation.“It is impossible to know which high schools are ‘the best’ in the nation, ”their letter read. in part. “De termining whether different schools do or don’t offer a high quality of education requires a look at man different measures, including students’ overall academic accomplishments and their subsequent performance in college. And taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.”In the end, the superintendents agreed to provide the data we sought, which is, after all, public information. There is, in our view, no real dispute here, we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackle tough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers. And if we keep working toward that goal, someday, perhaps a list won’t be necessary.注意:此部分试题请在答卡1上作答.1. Fifty years ago. big. Modern.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Social Practice. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. 大学生越来越重视参与社会实践2. 社会实践对大学生学习和生活的影响3. 如何正确看待社会实践【范文】Social PracticeSocial practice is a bridge between their theory and reality. So, in recent years, more and more college students choose to take part-time jobs in or outside school.In the social practice, students are sure to learn more than their textbooks. Their participation in social practice might strengthen their sense of social responsibility. Their close contact with the working people might help them to apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problem. But many teachers complain that there are fewer and fewer students who pay attention to their study.In my view, it’s an undenied fact that students break the balance between their jobs and studies, especially when they fall into conflict. But I think students should spend their spare time taking part-time jobs. Timely participation in social practice will benefit them all through their life.1.心理健康问题往往是导致疾病的原因2.分析人们产生心理健康问题的原因(可从失业、压力过重、缺少支持、缺乏人际交往能力等方面加以分析)3.你认为人们应如何保持心理健康【范文】How to Keep Psychologically Healthy?One in four people will experience some kind of mental health problem in the course of a year.

Lastly, you may find it helpful to talk to your partner or friend about your problem, or seek support and advice from a psychological consultant.1. 支教的现象2. 支教的意义3. 你的观点【范文】Aid Education in ChinaThere has been a hot topic recently about college students’ being encouraged to help children in the poor and remote areas.Generally aid-education is helpful in two aspects. First of all, it can broaden volunteers’ horizons in poverty-stricken regions. For instance, it is a golden opportunity for volunteers to experience a completely different life. In addition, college students have to adapt themselves to the harsh living conditions, meanwhile they can make friends with the children.In my view, the future of China’s education depends on the joint efforts of the society, the government and all the citizens. To sum up, we college students should take the initiative in response to the appeal for supplying help to children in poor regions.Directions: For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic On a Harmonious Dormitory Life. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. 宿舍生活有时会出现不和谐的情况2. 一个和谐宿舍生活的必要性3. 如何创造和谐的宿舍生活【范文】On a Harmonious Dormitory LifeDormitory life is an indispensable part of college life. But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory will be disturbed in one way or another.As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members. On the one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life. Firstly, you have to evaluate your life style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist. Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends. In conclusion, we should try our best to build a harmonious dormitory life for the sake of good study and good life.1. 在现代社会中,“沉默是金”不一定是好事2. 请举例说明3. 总结全文【范文】Silence Is Not Always Gold“Silence is gold” is a popular saying in which many people have belief. To these people speaking too much is not a merit. However, if you always keep silent, you will probably miss many golden opportunities instead of obtaining the gold of silence.Last week I read an article written by an office lady. The company where she worked had two kinds of offices: cubicle office and window office. As a new employee she worked in a cubicle office together with twenty colleagues. Two years later she still worked there but some colleagues who came later than her had moved into the window office. She felt confused. One day one colleague told her that window office wasn’t obtained without request. But believing that she certainly gained one if she did a good job the woman had never asked for it.From the woman’s experience we learn that silence is not always gold. In the modern society one needs to speak his mind and speak for his own interests.1. 更新知识的重要性2. 怎样更新知识3. 你自己的感受【范文】Trying to Renew KnowledgeToday’s society is of knowledge economy age, in which new knowledge emerges much faster than ever before. Moreover, knowledge plays an important part in the whole economy. Therefore, everyone finds it necessary to renew his (or her) knowledge, otherwise he (or her) will be left behind the society.There are some ways to update knowledge. On the one hand, one can attend different courses at all types of schools, either part-time or full-time. On the other hand, self-study is, in a sense, a more convenient and practical method by which one can effectively renew his (or her) knowledge.In my view, I have primarily depended on self-taught method in the recent years. Although I am busy doing daily work, I still insist on teaching myself at night. In this way, I can not only keep up with the swift development of society but also apply new knowledge to my practical work, which benefits me a lot.1. 洋快餐颇受中国消费者的青睐2. 产生这种现象的原因3. 我的看法【范文】Western Fast FoodFast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today, nothing is more representative of the fast pace of modern society than fast food.There are several reasons for its popularity. For one thing, it is fast and convenient. Go into a fast food restaurant, and your food will be ready in a minute. Precious time won’t be wasted in waiting-in-line to order or waiting at your table for your food to arrive. For another, its popularity is also attributed to the clean food, the excellent service and the comfortable environment of the fast food restaurants, and American style.However, I think that fast food isn’t healthy enough because it doesn’t compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition. Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and we should turn to it only once in a while.1. 长假给大学生带来的好处2. 长假可能给大学生带来的问题3. 我应当怎样利用好长假【范文】Long HolidaysGenerally speaking, long holidays are good for us college students. On the one hand, we have a lot of time to study by ourselves and thus improve weaknesses and further develop strengths. On the other hand, we can take part-time jobs, which can make us realize responsibility and make ourselves better prepared for social life.But every coin has two sides. Some students fail to make good use of their time and they are addicted to various computer games. I am afraid that they are likely to ruin themselves in this way.As far as I am concerned, I will try to make the best use of my precious time.I will spend most of my holidays studying English for that I am very poor at it. In addition, I will take a part-time job as private teacher. By this means, I can earn some money and put my knowledge into practice as well.。

For questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B),C)and D). For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Small Schools RisingThis year’s list of the top 100 high schools shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing.Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers (二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构),the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students. SAT scores began dropping in 1963; today, on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary (and some middle) schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.Size isn’t everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due, in part, to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. The movementincludes independent public charter schools, such as No.1 BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18 graduates this year. It embraces district-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented and Gifted School, with 198 students, and the Science and Engineering Magnet, with383, which share a building in Dallas, as well as the City Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer evening seminars for students. And it includes alternative schools with students selected by lottery(抽签),such as H-B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching to the same band.Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one of those, ranking No.423—among the top 2% in the country—on Newsweek’s annual ranking of America’s top high schools. The success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating Classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22. Nearly 250 schools on the full, Newsweek list of the top 5% of schools nationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.Although many of Hillsdale’s students came from wealthy households, by the late 1990 average test scores were sliding and it had earned the unaffectionate nickname (绰号) “Hillsjail. ” Jeff Gilbert. A Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year, remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and asking one another in astonishment, “How did that student graduate?”So in 2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three “houses,” romantically named Florence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly (随机地) assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of “advisory” classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they are deeply invested in the students’ success. “We’re constantly talking about one another’s advisers,” says English teacher Chris Crockett. “If you hear that yours isn’t doing well in math, or see them sitting outside the dean’s office, it’s like a personal failure.” Along with the new structure came a more demanding academic program, the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.“It was rough fo r some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics,” says Gilbert “Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them.” But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remai ns to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has come in for its share of criticism for its simplicity. But that is also its strength: it’s easy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schools if they’d like.Ranking schools is always controversial, and this year a group of 38 superintendents(地区教育主管)from five states wrote to ask that their schools be excluded from the calculation. “It is impossible to know which high schools are ‘the best’ in the nation,” their letter read. in part. “Determining whether different schools do or don’t offer a high quality of education requires a look at man different measures, including students’ overall academic accomplishments and their subsequent performance in college. And taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.”In the end, the superintendents agreed to provide the data we sought, which is, after all, public information. There is, in our view, no real dispute here, we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackle tough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers. And if we keep working toward that goal, someday, perhaps a list won’t be necessary.1. Fifty years ago. big. Modern.

2012四级真题:6月英语四级作文真题和范文2012四级真题:6月英语四级作文真题及范文新东方赵子凌:2012年6月英语四级作文范文On Excessive PackagingIn recent years, the excessive use of packages has become quite a serious problem in China. As for the reasons of excessively packaging, there are many factors contributing to it.It is conceivable that the excessive packaging has mainly arisen from the two following factors. For one thing, people in mounting numbers are inclined to send a variety of gifts to their relatives and friends, especially during the holidays, and decorated gifts sometimes are a symbol of good taste. For another, the dealers are in the purpose of making more money by packaging the products to the largest extent.Taking all the above-mentioned factors into consideration, it is quite urgent for us to takeeffective measures to cope with it. We consumers should basically concentrate more on the quality of the commodities rather than the packages; meanwhile, the government should also put restrictions on the excessive packaging. Only in this way can we guarantee the harmonious development of the market as well as ourselves. 点击下载Word文档【VIP】注册会员登录会员加入VIP。

(包装过度现象的看法)
On Excessive Packaging
In recent years, with the economy growing, all kinds of goods are flowing into our life. The packaging of goods becomes more and more attracting our eyes. However, the problem of excessive packa ging has aroused people’s wide concern.
This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons. For one thing, the business has seen through the mind of most consumers who are face-saving, for they thought that the more beautiful the packaging of goods is, t hebe st people like. For another thing, excessive packaging can make the majority of merchants get high profit for the cheap commodity by improving price. Perhaps the primary reason lies that the form far outweighs the content.
In my opinion, it is more advisable to focus on the quality of goods than to decorate its appearance. So, it is urgent that immediate measures should be taken to stop the situation. Only in this way can we reduce unnecessary waste and have a rational and pure shopping condition, making our money worthwhile.。
