MPA英语联考必背作文1、There are many ways of traveling, the most common ways being bytrain, by air, by bus or in a car.Traveling by train is currently the most economical way, far cheaper than traveling by air. However, air travel is timesaving and therefore often the top choice for people traveling on business or traveling abroad. Traveling by bus is probably convenient mostly for short-distance trip. But with the development of expressways in China, and with more people having their own car, traveling by bus or in one’s own car would become fashionable and enjoyable in China.For me, my favorite way of touring is traveling by train, because it saves money and gives us the delight of enjoying the scenery alongside our journey.2、Today in China, with people’s li ving standard greatly enhanced, fatness has become a headache for more and more people.Gaining too much weight does harm to our health. To fight against fat, many people turn to the numerous types of medicine, which all claim to have special effects, but do not actually lead to permanent weight loss. Others would choose to be on diet but only to find them forever hungry and have greater appetite. Still others would go to fatness center, making it a fashionable way of modern life.Personally, I think inactivity is an important contributor to fatness and therefore exercise is the only healthy way to reduce appetite, takingoff weight and keeping it off.3、Some people work to live. For them the only reason for working is that they need money to keep themselves alive, to pay for their shelter, and to support their family.However, there are also people who live to work. They work for the sake of success, position and control in society. For them, work is a way of life, a mental challenge, or an emotional involvement. Take some women for instance, they go out to work because it gives them a sense of independence away from the family.As for me, to work is a fundamental human need and a means to an end. However, I work not just for money, because I also see it as a badge of fulfillment.4、POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF SPORTS".Sports benefit us in many respects. When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our bodies. There is no doubt that proper sports activities keep our physical fitness. Furthermore, sports can enrich our life and maintain our psychological health.

Sports teach us about consideration, cooperation and optimism to failure.But sports can do some harm to those who cannot plan their activities properly. Too hard training may hurt their bodies, exhaust their vigor,and even cause them to become sick.In general, I love sports. I enjoy sports.

Sports add happiness to my everyday life when I perform in a decent way.新东方10大功能段落:第一段：[1.现象/现状说明段] [2.图画/图表描述段]第二段：[3.对立观点陈诉段]（四，六级多用） [4.利弊说明段] [5.意义阐述段] [6.原因列军段] [7.举例段]第三段：[8.归纳结论段] [9.趋势预测段] [10建议措施段]（其中说明文只有三篇8，9，10书信，所以前七篇是重点，毕竟是20分啊！在以后的时间里，我也会把说明文10分的必背篇整理出来的，谢谢大家的支持.）第一部分图画作文（四篇）1. 关于爱心（01年真题）Love is a lamp[1.现象/现状说明段] Love is of utmost importance to us humans. Everybody not only needs love, but also should give others love. As can be seen from the picture, "love is a lamp which is brighter in darker places. " This is indeed true. People in darker places need more light than other people. Maybe even a dim light can give them much hope for a better life. Maybe just a thread of light will call forth their strength and courage to help them step out of their difficulties.[7.举例段] I can think of no better illustration of this idea thanthe following example(s).For instance when someone is starving to death, just a little food and water from you may save his(her) life. Again, when a little girl in a poor rural area drops out of school because of poverty, just a small sum of money from you may support her to finish school and change her life. In these case/circumstances you have given love which is like a lamp in a dark place where light is most needed.[8.归纳结论段]To sum up, we should offer our help to all the needed. We expect to get love from others and we also give love to others. So when you see someone in difficulty or in distress and in need of help, don't hesitate to give your love to him (her). I believe that the relationship between people will be harmonious and that our society will be a better place for us to live in.2. 空气污染(隐形杀手)[2.图画/图表描述段]Pollution is becoming more and more serious all over the world. As is shown in the cartoon, two cars are giving off waste gas and three people are trying to avoid breathing in the poisonous gas by masking their face with their hands. The poisonous gas sent off by factories, domestic appliances and automobiles has made the air unhealthy for people to breathe.[5.意义阐述段]There is no denying that automobiles are indications of civilization, progress and development; nevertheless , automobiles cause the serious problem of air pollution. Scientists have warned that unless effective measures are taken, the problem of pollution willeventually get out of hand. Actually, people are showing a real concern over the problem. For example, there is an increasingly loud voice from the public for firm action against pollution from automobiles.[10建议措施段]Indeed, the earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our descendants. In my opinion, we should work out concrete solutions to the problem of pollution from poisonous gas given off by automobiles. For example, the automobiles should be equipped with a device which can dispose of waste gas so as to prevent it from polluting air. Only in this way can we really solve the problem of air pollution caused by automobiles.3. 沙漠化[2.图画/图表描述段]As is shown in the picture, we can see clearly the relation ship between people and desert. In the left hand picture, people are fleeing from greedy sand hills because they cut down all the trees. The caption reads, ”As the sand advances, we retreat.” In the right hand picture, the people have returned carrying tools, water, and young trees to plant the land again. The caption reads: “As we advance, the sand ret reats. ”[5.意义阐述段]It seems to me that the cartoonist is sending a message about the importance of trees in water and soil conservation and the need for everyone to fight against the danger of the desertification. In fact, what he is saying is that the sand hills will drive away from the land if we do fight against the sand. If we let this situation continue as itis , our environment will suffer a great destruction.[10.建议措施段]The best way to fight back against the greedy desert in made clear in the second picture. There the local people are actively setting about the task of planting trees to reclaim the land and make it fertile. The fact that there are three people in the picture, each with a different job suggests that working together is the key to success in the battle against soil erosion.4. 商业捕鱼（00年真题）A Brief History of World Commercial Fishing[2.图表描述段] As is shown in the pictures ,with the increase of commercial fishing ,the number of fishes dramatically(sharply) decreased .In one pictures ,there were various kinds of fish and only one fishing-boat in 1900 .On the contrary ,in1995 there was only one fish ,with many fishing-boats.[5.意义阐述段] The purpose of this picture is to show us that due (great enough) attention has to be paid to the decrease (decline) of ocean resources .Owing to over-fishing the number of fishes has obviously dropped .If we let this situation go (continue) as it is ,we do not know where fish will be in the future .By that time ,our environment will suffera great destruction .[10.建议措施段] Therefore ,it is imperative for us to take drastic (effective) measures .For one thing ,we should appeal to our authorities to make strict laws to control commercial fishing .For another ,we shouldenhance(imperative arouse) the awareness of people that the ocean resources are very vital to us .Only in this way can we protect our ocean resources .Also I believe that we humans can overcome this difficulty ,and we will have a brighter future .第二部分图表作文（三篇）5. 人口增长对野生动物的影响（99年真题）[2.图画/图表描述段]From these graphs, we can draw a conclusion that, with the growth of human population, the number of species has decreased rapidly in America, and some species have even vanished from our planet.[6.原因列军段]Why does this phenomenon appear? There are several possible reasons for this. Above all, as the human population grows rapidly, a growing number of people came to live where some wild species have been living. Then these species have to move to other places. Some of them probably can not adapt to the new environment and die. In addition, although many people look on the wildlife as their friends, some people may not think so. They catch a lot of wild animals and sell them in order to get more money. Even worse(坏)/More importantly(好), as the result （中性） /consequence（贬义）of the industry, the natural balance and the ecologic environment are destroyed. The clear cutting has become increasingly serious. So some of the wildlife become homeless and extinct.[10.建议措施段]In order to protect the wildlife, I have some suggestions. First, the governments should make laws to prevent them from being caught and killed. Second, the governments should educate peopleto love nature and protect it. Third, as for ourselves, we should take practical actions to protect our living environment.6 烟草生产和消费（01年大纲样题）[1.现象/现状说明段]The majority of people would agree that cigarette smoking has caused serious problems. But the tobacco companies insist that they contribute greatly to the world economy by paying taxes to the government and employing hundreds of workers.[4.利弊说明段]Personally, I believe that cigarette production and consumption threatens to do more harm than good. Firstly, smoking is responsible for many fatal diseases such as lung cancer, heart diseases and so on. According to the survey, tobacco consumers account for about 20% of the world population, and among them, three million people die from smoking-related diseases every year. The fact that the output of tobacco production is reduced from 143.64 billion pounds in 1994 to 142 billion pounds in 1995 also suggests that people have come to realize the negative effects of smoking. Secondly, tobacco consumption is extremely wasteful of money. As is indicated in the pictures, 200 billion US dollars is lost due to smoking each year. Obviously, the total loss of money around the globe substantially exceeds the gain in the industry.[8.归纳结论段]In conclusion, as the economic development aims at making our life better, we cannot sacrifice our health for short-term financial benefits. If we have to spend more and more money providing medical services for those who suffer from smoking-related illnesses, thenotion of promoting economy via tobacco production is not justifiable. It is high time that we fought for the total tobacco ban.7. 日用花销统计Statistics in People's Daily Expenses in Xi'anYearItem 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999Food 66% 61% 48% 41% 36%Clothing 9% 10% 12% 15% 18%Recreation 4% 5% 8% 9% 11%[2.图画/图表描述段]What is shown in the table above indicates that dramatic changes have taken place in the daily expenses in Xi' an from 1995 to 1999. The expenses on food have declined by 30% while those on clothing and recreation have increased respectively by 9% and 7%. The statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but closely related to one another.[6.原因列军段]There are two factors accounting for these changes. Development in economy is an essential one in the five years. The increased income resulting from economic growth plays an important part in the less expense on food. Hence, a small percentage of total income is enough to cover food expense. Another one is the changes in life style. When food presents no worry to the average, people begin to focus more of interest on handsome appearance and happy leisure time. As a result of such a shift, spending on clothing and recreation increased year after year.[9.趋势预测段]From the analyses made above, we may come to theconclusion that people's living standards in Xi' an have been constantly improved between 1995 and 1999. With the further growth in economy and more changes in life style, the tendency indicated in the table will continue in the table will continue in the better direction.第三部分事务信函（三篇）8.咨询信 A letter of InquiryYou wish to study at a certain foreign university. Write a letter inquiring about the situation there as regards accommodation, fees and qualifications.Dear SirI am a Chinese citizen who wishes to study at your university. My plan is to start my course next term, and I would be grateful if you would be kind enough to provide me with certain essential information.First, what qualifications do I need to follow a course of study at your university? I already have a master’s degree from a university here in China, but I wonder if there are any further academic requirements. Second, how much are the tuition fees? Although I intend to be self –supporting, I would be interested to hear if there are any scholarships available for international students. Third, what is the situation as regards accommodation? I would prefer a single room, which is more conducive to studying, but if single rooms are expensive, I would be willing to share.I look forward to your reply, and to attending your esteemedinstitution.Yours sincerely,Li Ming9. 请求信 A Letter of RequestYou find that your study load is too heavy. Write a letter to your college teacher explaining why you need to withdraw from two courses. Ask if it is possible to obtain a refund.Dear Prof. James,I am writing to formally request to withdraw from two courses: Introduction to Elementary Education (EDU 602) and Teaching Methods (EDU 619).The main reason for reducing my course load is that I am finding it extremely difficult to manage six courses. In the beginning of the term, I was perhaps overly optimistic about juggling both my full –time studies and my part – time job (20 hours/week). Because I really must work part time, I have no other choice but to decrease my course load. I am planning on taking the two courses during the summer semester, if they are available, so that I will be able to complete all the courses for the degree program by the following year.I would also like to request a tuition refund, and hope I am not too late to receive the full reimbursement. I am sorry for any inconveniences I have caused by this change in plans. This decision was not taken lightly, and I do appreciate the king consideration you have shown to me.Thank you for your attention to these requests. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 277-9144. I look forward to hearing from you soon.Sincerely yours,Jane Carter10．建议信 A Letter of Advice/SuggestionYou have a friend who is about to enter university, and he wants you to advise him on which subject to specialize in – history, in which he is very interested, or computer science, which offers better job prospects.Dear John,You have asked me for my advice concerning whether you should study history or computer science at university, and I will try to make some useful suggestions.You must keep in mind that, above all, your university training is a preparation for your future career. Therefore, your first consideration should be to study a subject which will best equip you to earn a living. There is no doubt that the field of computers offers far job opportunities than history.Besides, we are now in the age of the high - technology revolution. For the foreseeable future, not only will it be necessary for everyone to be computer - literate, it will also be necessary for them to be equipped with computer skills merely to earn a living! History, I'm afraid, howeverfascinating it may be, offers few career prospects.Of course, you don't have to devote all your time at university to studying computers and nothing else. On the contrary, I would recommend that you keep up your reading of history in your spare time. That way, you will find that your leisure hours are enriched while you prepare yourself for a worthwhile career in computers.Yours sincerely,James英语范文（二）Family EducationThere is a growing tendency these days for more and more college students to take part-time jobs. Family education is one of most popular par-time jobs. Family education has some advantages. On one hand, Family education can let you earn some extra money and help you become more independent of your family. One the other hand, family education can offer you chances to contact with the society and the experience that you gain through family education can broaden your school life.However there are also some disadvantages in taking family education. For example, we may lose time needed for sleep, rest, study and recreation. Taking family education may interfere with our study and give us little or no useful experience. As a result, we may find it hard to adjust to what the college expects of him.As far as I am concerned, I think college students can take family education. But we have to strike a balance between school and the job. As a student, acquiring more knowledge is our first important task. Although family education can enrich our world of good, we should not spend too much time on it.Private CarsWith the development of China’s economy, private cars become more and more popular in China. Private cars have been playing a vital part in our daily activities. On one hand, private cars provide the most convenient form of transportation. With a car, we can get around freely, without spending a lot of time. On the other hand, the automobile industry provides jobs for countless workers strong support for other industries. In our world, private cars are indispensable.But with the increase of the number of private cars in China, they have given rise to a series of problems. They are responsible for a large proportion of air pollution, causing a lot of disease to man, animals and plants. Traffic accidents kill thousands of people every year and disable many more. Traffic jams on busy roads delay us painfully every day. The consequences of all these are becoming even more serious.Obviously, private cars, like anything else, have more than one face. As far as I am concerned, I think we should find ways to reduce thesedisadvantages so as to solve the problems of heavy traffic and air pollution. Only in this way, can our life become more exciting and comfortable.The Development of Western ChinaAs we all know, the Chinese government has already begun implementing some strategies to develop Western China, shifting the focus of economic construction from the eastern to western part of the country. Developing Western China is of great importance. It will bring Western China more chances to absorb foreign investments, technology, and even management experience, which are just what they greatly need. On the other hand, as Western China is a vast market, many eastern companies can cooperate with western companies and earn more money from it.Western China has been an undeveloped area for a long time because of its remoteness , poor education and inadequate infrastructure construction. Luckily, nowadays Western China develops very fast .The local governments have begun to accelerate the infrastructure construction. Additionally, they have already paid much more attention to the investment of education and have drawn up talent cultivation programs.In my opinion, the Development of Western China is full of hope, chances, and challenges. As a university student of the 21st century, weshould actively respond to the call of our country and devote ourselves to the development of western China.Develop Western RegionsThe large scale development of West China is of profound significance. First, it will open a broad development space for central and eastern regions. Besides, it’s critical to China’s overall economic rise. What’s more, it’s the only effective way to decrease the imb alance of economic development in the east and the west so as to revitalize our nation.There are various reasons why the landlocked west has lagged behind in its economic development .The chief reason, I think, is that the opening up policies enable the east to lure more foreign capital and make a fantastic spur in its development. As a result, it leaves the west far behind in its economic growth. In addition, the west’s unique unfavorable geographic positions greatly limit its development . Therefore, the gaps between the west and the east have been widened since China’s reform. In fact, many regions in the west still remain comparatively underdeveloped. To illustrate, most of the 30 million poor populations, who still have subsistence problems, live there. Moreover, currently the per capita GDP in West China is only about 60% of national average. And the vast West China makes less contribution to the nation’s development.If left unchanged, the underdevelopment in the west will greatly affect overall prosperity and even social stability.However, the western region development is a long-term systematic project. It calls for tremendous efforts of several generations. To sum up, our chief goal is to build West China with economic prosperity, social progress, political stability and beautiful landscape. Finally, I believe the west will catch up with the east in its economic development in the near future.希望以上资料对你有所帮助，附励志名言3条：1、有志者自有千计万计，无志者只感千难万难。
