1995.12011.12大学英语四级作文题目及范文1995年1月大学英语四级作文题目及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Can Money Buy Happiness?You should write no less than 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1.有人认为金钱是幸福之本（source of happiness）2.也有人认为金钱是万恶之源（root of all evil）3.我的看法范文Can Money Buy Happiness?Can money buy happiness? Various people have various answers. Some people think that money is the source of happiness. With money, one can buy whatever he enjoys. With money, one can do whatever he likes. So, in their minds, money can bring comfort, security, and so on. Money, as they think, is the source of happiness.But there are still a lot of others who think that money is the root of all evil. Money drives people to steal, to rob, and to break the law. A lot of people became criminals just because they were in search of money. And in the Western countries, there is nothing that cant be bought by money. Many people lose their own lives when hunting it.I think that money is essential to life and we cannot do without money. But even though money is necessary to life, it cant buy happiness. Happiness is not something that can be measured by money. It is a state of mind. One can have plenty of money, with which he can buy whatever he wants, and at the same time he is not happy because he is never satisfied or he is troubled by various kinds of problems. Therefore, although money is necessary for a happy life, it cant buy happiness.1996年1月大学英语四级作文题目及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic The Two-day Weekend.

It not only offers us more time to get rid of tiredness and have a good rest, but also gives us more chances to take up some hobbies, such as fishing, reading, or gardening. From these activities we can learn many things outside the classroom, which will add to our knowledge.Despite the convenience it brings us, the two-day weekend has also given rise to quite a few problems. The most serious one is that the weekdays are filled with more lesson, sometimes too many. Because our classes are limited to Monday through Friday, we have to take more lessons each day than in the past. This leaves us little time to catch our breath during the weekdays.In order to benefit most from the two-day weekend, I have decided to make a good plan for the two-day weekend. Of course I should take this chance to relax. But during the weekend, I will still set aside enough time to study. By doing so ii can have a good time as well as make progress in my studies.1996年6月大学英语四级作文题目及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Global Shortage of Fresh Water. You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1. 人们以为淡水是取之不尽的(提示：雨水、河水、井水.)2. 实际上淡水是非常紧缺的(提示：人口增加，工业用水增加，污染.)3. 我们应该怎么办范文Global Shortage of Fresh WaterMany people believe that the worlds supply of fresh water will never be used up. They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use. Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water.As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore, with the rapid growth of the worlds population, the rising demand for water by industry, and the serious pollution of our surroundings, the world is facing the danger of running out of fresh water. Actually, in some big cities, fresh water cannot meet the daily needs.Therefore, to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First, we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second, scientists must work even harder to purify sea water and polluted water, and try to find substitutes to reduce the use of fresh water.1997年1月大学英语四级作文题目及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes tow rite a composition on the topic Practice Makes Perfect. You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1. 怎样理解“熟能生巧”？2. 例如：在英语学习中.3. 又如.范文Practice Makes PerfectThe famous saying “Practice makes perfect” is widely accepted today. It means if we practice unfamiliar things again and again, well be able to perform it perfectly.The practice of learning English is a good example. We are not living in an English speaking country. So, in order to learn it well, we need extra practice, such as reading English books, going to English corners, or communicating with foreigners. Only sitting at the desk cannot lead to the mastery of English.As another example, if we want to be skilled in using the computer, we also need to practice using it. Some children become little experts in computer, just because they play with it everyday. On the contrary, if we just stick to books, we will still feel confused when using computers. Judging from the evidence offered, we might safely draw the conclusion that practice makes perfect.1998年1月大学英语四级作文题目及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Harmfulness of Fake Commodities.

These fake commodities have done great harm to the consumers and the society.Since the policy of reform was implemented, Chinas economy has improved. A lot of people getting richer, and their living conditions are getting better. But still some of them are not satisfied. They dream of getting rich overnight and living a heavenly life, which, of course, is impossible to achieve by fair means. So they risk breaking the law to produce the market take commodities.Once these fake commodities enter the market, they will do immeasurable harm to the society. The direct victims are the consumers. As the quality of the fake commodities is always very poor, the consumers may suffer great losses. Certain fake commodities, such as food and medicine, will cause irreparable harm to the health and well-being of the consumers. Fake commodities also cut into the profits of the brand-name-owners. Since the fake ones are cheaper, people tend to be reluctant to buy the genuine ones.1998年6月大学英语四级和六级（相同）作文题目及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Do“Lucky Numbers” Really Bring Good Luck? You should write at least 100 words and you shouldbase your composition the outline (given in Chinese) below.1.有些人认为某些数字会带来好运。2.我认为数字和运气无关，.范文Do “Lucky Numbers” Really Bring Good Luck?Some people take it for granted that some lucky numbers can bring them good luck. For instance, the so-called lucky number “8” is widely used now because it is sounded like “getting rich” in Chinese and is believed to bring good fortune.Yet many others dont think so. They think that numbers have nothing to do with luck. They regard numbers simply as a mathematic symbols for counting. They are anything but a mystery. They laugh at those who think numbers can bring good luck.Im in favor of the latter opinion. I think our society is very modern now. We mustnt count on the so-called lucky numbers to fulfill our wishes. Whether we can have good luck depends on ourselves. If we work hard, good luck will come to us.1999年6月大学英语四级作文题目及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Reading Selectively Or Extensively? You should write at least 100 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1. 有人认为读书要有选择2. 有人认为应当博览群书3. 我的看法范文Reading Selectively Or Extensively?Some people think when we read we should read selectively. That is to say, we should select some books we are interested in and ignore the others. Reading selectively can help us concentrate our limited time and attention on those selected books.Others think we should read extensively. No matter what kind of book it is, we should look it over. We should read various kinds of books, whether we are interested in them or not. They maintain that reading extensively can help to enlarge our view and grasp the general knowledge in different fields.In my opinion, the two reading ways have their roles respectively in our reading. However, the disadvantages of each methods are easy to see. If we only read the books we select or prefer, the framework of our knowledge may not be complete. Our knowledge would be rather limited. And if we read without selection, we may not have so much time and energy to be specialized in one particular field. Therefore, the combination of the two methods is more reasonable.2000年1月大学英语四级、六级作文题目及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic How I Finance My College Education. You should write at least 100 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1. 上大学的费用（tuition and fees）可以通过多种途径解决2. 哪种途径适合于我（说明理由）范文How I Finance My College EducationSeveral years ago new tuition fee policy was put into practice and college students were asked to pay a certain sum of money. And now, all the students, no matter what subjects they are engaged in, must pay for tuition.There are many ways for a student to finance his college education. Most students ask their parents to pay the tuition fee and pay for their books, accommodation and other cost. A student can also apply for the scholarship. Most universities set up scholarship to offer money to the poor students who do well in entrance exams and reward those who do well in entrance exams and reward those who work well at university. A student can also apply for the low-interest loans. In addition to the above, taking part-time jobs is also a common way for a college student to get money to pay part of his tuition and fees.So far as Im concerned, Id prefer earning the scholarship. This means I must study hard and be a top student, which has always been my goal. After all, the task of a student is to study. And in addition to solving my financial problems, getting the scholarship can also prove my ability and is good for my future.2000年6月大学英语四级考试作文Is A Test of Spoken English Necessary?A test of spoken English will be included as an optional (component of the College English Test (CET). Some people contend that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because we have been told many times that a Chinese student who has been learning English for years cannot communicate with a native English speaker. Sometimes even those top students who excel at grammar and writing skills find their English inadequate to express their thoughts freely when speaking. A test of spoken English will bring the importance of speaking English to the awareness of the college students, and thus help them with their communicating skills.On the other hand, there are also people who maintain that good reading and writing skills would be enough for the average English learners. College students are already under considerable pressure from their coursework. Another required test will only add to their burden. Also, some students may take the shortcut and only practice the questions according to the fixed format of the test, which will not actually improve their spoken English.I believe that a test of spoken English will do more good than harm. Since China will continue its policy of opening and reform, the ability to speak fluent English is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others in a highly competitive society. Whether I take the testornot, I shall make all efforts to practice my spoken English in the rest years in college.2001年1月大学英语四级、六级作文题目及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic How to Succeed in a Job Interview?

The interview, so to speak, has become indispensable for getting a satisfactory job. On the one hand, the interviewer can take advantage of the occasion to learn about the candidates, such as their work experiences, education and their personalities, so as to pick out the right person for the company. On the other hand, the interviewee can make use of the opportunity to get to know the job he is going to take up, the salary, the working conditions and many other things about the job he is interested in.Therefore, the job interview is very important to a job-hunter. But how can one succeed in it? Firstly of all, the interviewee must pay attention to his or her appearance. The first impression is always where we start. Get dressed properly and neatly. Secondly, good manners are equally important. Dont be too proud, and neither too timid. Just be courteous. Thirdly, the interviewee must demonstrate his aptitude and skills for the job and his knowledge about eh job-related areas. Be confident. Last but not the least, the interviewee ought to be honest about his or her personal as well as academic background, for honesty is the best policy.To sum up, the job interview is indeed important, but there is no need to be nervous. As long as the interviewee has the ability for the job, with careful preparation and a fairly confident and honest performance, his or her success can be ensured.2001年6月大学英语四级、六级作文题目及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter.

Undoubtedly, there are a lot of delicious dishes, but all the year round, they are the same. More and more students are complaining about eating the same food each day. So I think the most urgent problem is variety.Secondly, the price is a bit too high. Many of us hope that the canteen can provide us with not only delicious but also cheaper food.Finally, the environment is so noisy that we cant enjoy our meals in good mood. I suggest that there be some soft music to help us relax.These suggestions are not just of my own, but also of may other students. We hope our respectable president will pay attention to our suggestions.By the way, the canteen workers are very patient and always smiling. So I think if our university offers them better conditions, they will offer us better service.Best wishes,Li Ming2002年6月大学英语四级、六级作文题目及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Student Use of Computers.
