预测作文（一）My View on Double BA Degree1. 现在大学生读双学位的现象很常见2. 我对这一现象的看法【范文】Recently it has become a common phenomenon for college students to have two majors at the same time. In this way, they can get double BA degrees when they graduate from the university several years later.Although it may bring unfavorable consequences, we can be sure to conclude that this practice is favorable on the whole. To begin with, most students will become more hardworking and efficient in order to finish the learning tasks satisfactorily. Moreover, with two degrees at hand after graduation, they will stand a better chance in the job market full of fierce competition. In the third place, as for todays university students, tuition and fees are becoming more and more expensive. If they can make achievements in study at school and find a satisfactory job afterwards, it will not be a big problem.Weighing the pros and cons of such a new trend, we can naturally arrive at the conclusion that it is beneficial and rewarding. This system not only compels students to work hard, but also prepares them for the coming competition.【点评】首段直接点题，说明现象；第二段分述三个优点，其中首句为让步状语从句，意思是“虽然可能带来负面的后果，但总体上是有益的”；第三段呼应第二段，得出结论。 范文首段提出大学生读双学位这一普遍现象；第二段分三点进行论述，其中前两点是优点，即学生会更加勤奋，并且有利于他们在激烈的求职市场中找到工作，最后一点是解释可能带来的学费问题并不严重；第三段下结论，呼应第二段。第二段第三句中的stand a better chance(of)表示“大有希望”；第三段末句中的compel sbto do sth表示“迫使某人做某事”。预测作文（二）Opening Psychological Courses1. 许多人建议大学开设心理课程2. 我对这一问题的看法【范文】Recently more and more educator and common citizens suggest that universities colleges open more courses which are helpful for students psychological health. Personally, I fully agree with their proposal for the following reasons.On the one hand, the ever-increasing pressure of study at the moment and job-hunting in the future may lead to many psychological problems such as anxiety, depression and even despair, and the psychological courses open a door for communication and relaxation. On the other hand, such courses can teach students how to regulate feelings and emotions under different situations, which is a good preparation for the future life in the complex social network. Finally, these courses also introduce good habits which are conducive to mental and psychological health. To be mature and qualified citizens in the society, students have to do more than study hard.In a word, I warmly welcome the establishment of psychological courses in universities. In my mind, they are good for students psychological development.【点评】首段提出主题，其中第二句为过渡句，引出下文；第二段提出三点同意的理由；最后一段得出结论，与第一段首句呼应，其中第二句是解释型的补充说明句。 范文首段提出许多人建议大学开设心理课程。作者同意这一建议，并分三点在第二段中叙述理由。首先，目前的学习以及将来的就业压力需要开设心理课程。其次，教会学生如何调整在不同环境下的情绪。最后，给学生介绍有利于其身心健康的好习惯。第三段总结呼应首段内容。 第二段第一点中的ever-increasing表示“一直在增加的”，修饰两个名词词组，对比鲜明，at the moment表示“现在”，in the future表示“将来”，open a door for表示“开启了之门”；第二点中的regulate表示“调节，控制”；第三点中的conducive表示“有益于的”，后接介词to。预测作文（三）Advantages and Disadvantages of Electronic Dictionary1. 电子辞典的优点2. 电子辞典的缺点3. 我的结论【范文】The discussion about electronic dictionaries has never stopped in the past few years. Lets have a look at its advantages and disadvantages before drawing the final conclusion.The biggest advantage of an electronic dictionary is its convenience. Whenever you meet new words or expressions, you can know the meaning quickly. Whats more, with the development of science and technology, electronic dictionaries are becoming more and more advanced: they can pronounce the words clearly, provide sample sentences to illustrate word usage and store difficult words for special memorization. Last but by no means the least, electronic dictionaries are becoming cheaper and cheaper, and more and more students can afford them.However, the negative effects are also obvious. To begin with, some students rely too much on the electronic dictionarythey never put their heart into learning new words and expressions. In the second place, some explanations are neither complete nor accurate, which are quite misleading. Finally, new technical inventions do not necessarily lead to progress in learning. Diligence is always the decisive factor, because there is no royal road to learning.Up until now, we can see it clearly that an electronic dictionary is not beneficial or harmful in itself. The key lies in the userso long as we can make proper use of it, it can be most helpful to us in many respects.【点评】首段提出一个长时间争论的话题；第二段中指出该事物的优点；第三段阐述缺点；第四段首句下结论，表明此事物本身无对错，第二句指出关键在于使用者，即如果合理使用，就会从中受益。 范文首段指出，有关电子辞典的讨论从来没有停止过；第二段阐述优点，即电子辞典便于查询，而且随着技术的发展，电子辞典功能也越来越多，另外价钱也越来越低；第三段提出缺点，电子辞典让学生产生依赖心理，而且有些解释不准确，另外技术的进步不一定带来学习上的进步；最后一段总结，电子辞典本身无对错，关键在于正确使用以便为我们服务。 第二段第三句中的illustrate表示“用图或例子来说明”；第三点中的afford表示“买得起”。第三段第一点中的rely too much on表示“过分依赖”；put ones heart into doing sth表示“专心致志于某事”；第二点中的accurate表示“精确的”，misleading表示“使人误解的”；第三点第二句中的decisive factor表示“决定因素”。 预测作文（四）Teenagers Studying Abroad1. 现在有很多青少年出国留学2 有些人认为这种做法是有益的3 我认为这种观点是不的Recently it seems that among the students who choose to study abroad, there are more and more-teenagers who study in high schools or even elementary schools. Many people, especially the parents, think it will certainly do good to their chidren because the independent life will make them learn confidence and perseverance. Moreover, the quality of overseas education is often higher, thus the child stands a better chance of entering a better university and getting a better job in the future. After careful consideration, I have to say the above view is more than biased. On the one hand, early independent life is not necessarily good, if the child cannot receive proper guidance and tender care from both teachers and parents. On the other hand, the educational quality is also a questiontoo many foreign schools aim at earning money. When the children come back, who can guarantee that they can adapt to the fierce competition here?We can see clearly that although teenagers studying abroad may bring favorable results, there are still a lot to worry about. It seems necessary for young students to make a careful investigation before going abroad.【点评】第一段指出当前某种普遍的做法，之后分两点阐述人们支持这种做法的原因；第二段首句鲜明地指出自己反驳的意见，然后分两点来阐述理由；最后一段进行总结，并请当事人在做出决定前多加斟酌。范文首句点题，指出青少年留学这一现象，并给出支持者的理由，即独立的生活会教会他们自信和坚持不懈，而且国外的教学水平会让学生进入更好的大学、找到更好的工作。第二段给出反对理由。首先，早期独立不一定是件好事。另外，太多的国外学校的目标是挣钱，所以它们的教学质量是令人质疑的。末段总结说青少年留学可能会带来好处，但令人担忧的问题也很多。第一段第三句中的stand a better chance of表示“有更好的机会做某事”。第二段首句中的biased表示“偏激的，存有偏见的”；第三句中的aim at表示“目的在于”；第四句中的guarantee表示“保证”，adapt to表示“适应”，fierce表示“激烈的”，修饰competition(竞争)。预测作文（五）How to Eliminate Cheating on Campus1. 当前校园中存在许多作弊现象2. 解决这一问题的办法是【范文】Nowadays. instead of listening attentively in class and working hard after class, a number of students adopt all kinds of dishonest methods to get high scores in examinations. It has become such a serious problem that it has aroused the concern from the whole society.To put an end to such a serious problem, in my mind., it calls for the efforts from all sides. First of all, the university authority should make it clear that any cheating behaviors in the examinations, from whispering and copying, receiving answers via mobile phones to asking ringers for help, will be severely punished with no exception. Moreover, teachers of all subjects should go all the way to restore honesty by setting an example for the youth through speaking sincerely and behaving truthfully. Last but not least, young students, the future of our nation, should view integrity as the prerequisite to an upright and responsible citizen so as to learn to despise and fight dishonest behaviors throughout the society.How can anybody expect to lead a meaningful life until he is far from any kind of cheating behaviors? Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.【点评】首段描述一个引起全社会关注的社会现象或问题，并在第二段中给出三个解决办法；末段使用反问句和only引导的倒装句回应主题，效果强烈。 范文首先指出，当前校园中存在的严重的作弊问题已经引起全社会的广泛关注；第二段阐述解决办法。首先，大学应明确任何形式的作弊都会受到惩罚。其次，老师要以身作则，为学生树立榜样。另外，学生应该把诚实作为当一个好公民的必要条件。末段指出，只有同心协力，才能解决校园作弊问题。 第二段第一句中的put an end to表示“结束，终止”，call for表示“要求，需要”；第一点中via指“通过”，with no exception指“没有例外”。第二点中的go all the way to表示“全力以赴”，restore在文中指“重塑”，set an example for表示“为做榜样”，speaking sincerely and behaving truthfully表示“说话真诚，行为诚实”。第三点中的integrity指“诚实，诚信”，prerequisite指“先决条件”，后接介词for或to；despise表示“蔑视”。1. 现在大学校园里，迟到、早退、旷课是常见的现象2. 保证学生的出勤率对大学教育的重要性3. 作为一个大学生应该怎样做Attend Your Classes RegularlyNowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from classes. And still there are some students who slip out of the classroom before the class is over. Class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and teachers.In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly. First, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning. That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study. Second, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers ,too. Your teachers will feel bad if the students do not attend their classes, which, in turn, will affect their teaching and be no good for the students. Third, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of punctuality, which is of great importance for the students to do a good job in the future.Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes regularly from now on. And some day well benefit from it.点评：2008年元月三日，中山大学博士发帖称遭导师虐待；2008年元月四日，中国政法大学爆“杨帆门”事件；近几年，中小学老师或打学生或猥亵学生、体罚学生等各类新闻不断曝光，进而引发了师生关系的大讨论。本预测题为四级考试传统的问题解决型的写作，与校园生活密切相关。1. 学生给老师打分已经普遍2. 人们对其持不同态度3. 我的看法Students Rating of Their TeachersNowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students. In some universities students rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness.This, however, has caused great controversy. Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend the teachers classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers effectiveness. Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it. They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students rating forms. Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject. These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers colleagues.I think students rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers performance. Instead of rating the teachers knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teachers ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students interest in the subject.点评：越来越多的高校采取让学生给老师打分的形式来了解教学反馈，并以此作为促进教学质量的有效手段。对此做法，管理部门及教学双方褒贬不一，看法迥异。本预测题为校园生活热议话题，值得关注。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。On a Harmonious Dormitory LifeDormitory life is an indispensable part of college life. But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory 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 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, youll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist. Thirdly, youll 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.点评：“和谐”成为我们当今社会词频概率最高用词，就社会而言，倡导建立和谐社会；就家庭而言，提倡建设和谐家庭；就校园来讲，则要建立和谐校园；和谐两字似乎无所不在，大学生宿舍生活同样需要和谐。本预测题与四级考试热点密切相关，又为典型的校园生活主题，值得关注。假设你是一名学生志愿者，要给来你们学校参观的外国朋友介绍学校情况。内容应包括学校历史、规模、教学现状以及未来目标等。A Brief Introduction to the UniversityDistinguished guests,Welcome to our university. Before you start to look around, allow me to give you a brief account of the school.Founded in 1927, our university is one of this citys earliest universities of liberal arts. It is staffed with an excellent faculty, and has a total enrollment of over 10,000 students. In the past years, it has turned out numerous well-qualified students and found its graduates active in professions of all walks of life.Since its establishment, the university has always steered itself toward the objective that its students have an overall healthy development. Not only does it provide the students with basic academic courses, but it manages to expose them to the up-to-date knowledge. Besides, students are free to participate in colorful campus activities and social practice, which are intended for broadening their mind and developing their potential talent.Currently, both our faculty and students are making every effort to improve the quality of our education in the direction of a first-rate university. Thank you.点评：近几年，随着我国顺利加入世贸组织以及经济全球化步伐的加快，许多国内高校纷纷与国外大学合作办学，教育走向国际化成为人们关注的热点，也是大学生门比较关心的热点问题。本预测题为热议校园生活话题，与2004年旅游景点介绍2006年考查的名校校园开放如出一辙。假设你是李明, 你的一个朋友张伟准备到你所在的城市来旅游，但你有事不能接待。写封信给他，解释你不能接待的原因，并说明你所做的安排。A Letter to a FriendDear Zhang Wei,Im glad to know that you are coming to my city during the summer vacation.However, Im afraid theres some bad news. Im planning to take part in an international conference to be held in another city during the time of your visit. All the top scientists in my field will show up at the conference. More importantly, Im lucky enough to have been selected to give a speech on behalf of my research team at the Conference. I really cant miss it.I understand that itll be your first time to this city and Im your only friend here. Ive asked my roommate to meet you at the airport, and you can stay in my room. He is a very nice person and he will show you around the city. Hope you two will get on well and have a nice holiday!Yours,Li Ming点评：本预测题与2001年6月考查的A Letter to a Schoolmate 类似，所不同是写作提示有所不同，2001年6月作文题是写信对校友来度假表示欢迎并在信中提出建议和注意事项，而本预测题是对朋友来访不能接待，同时在信中说明原因及具体安排，内容不一，但话题相仿，写作思路相似，值得关注。 1 有人认为大学里应独自生活2 另一些认为大学里应与别人同住3 你的看法Living alone or Living with RoommatesNowadays, there has appeared a heated discussion among the college students as to whether they should live alone outside the campus or live together with other roommates in the students dormitory. Opinions are divided over the matter.Those who are in favor of Living alone maintain that it is very convenient to live by themselves. They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own. They can have their own timetable without disturbing others. They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet.But others argue that living with roommates has attractions of its own. With several students sharing the same room, each persons experiences can be greatly enriched. They can learn a lot from talking to one another. By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.As far as Im concerned, I prefer to live with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging. Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent a apartment outside the campus.点评：本文与校园生活密切相关，也是近年来出现的现象，人们对此的看法各异，2003年后，四级作文考查加大了学校生活类题目的考查，因为这类题材不存在地域的差异，不同地域的同学都有话可说。本预测题即为校园生活类话题，与刚考完的四级作文话题类似，符合命题者出题思路，值得引起重视。1. 描述上图所示的手机用户数的变化情况2. 出现这种情况的原因3. 对此现象作出评价Cell PhonesAs is shown in the chart, cell phones are becoming increasingly popular within China. In 1999, the number of cell phones in use was only 2 million, but in 2002, the number reaches 5 million. And in the year 2005, the number has suddenly soared to 9 million.There are many factors contributing to this development. Firstly, a cell phone has no wires and can be carried everywhere easily. Secondly, a cell phone is something wonderful that we can have fun with news, games, music and chat through sending short messages. Thirdly, the drop in price and the simultaneous improvement in the functions have made it possible for an average person to make use of cell phone.The wide use of cell phones has make them more and more indispensable in peoples daily life. The many functions of the cell phone have made certain people reluctant to separate themselves from their cell phone.点评：随着我国经济的快速发展，人民的生活水平不断改善，通讯业的日新月异的发展，使得手机使用普及化，成为人们日常生活的必需品，对此的利弊人们看法各异。本预测题为热点话题，同样是年轻人较熟悉和经常讨论的话题，值得关注。预测八1. 广告的作用2. 广告的形式多样3. 广告的夸张性AdvertisementAdvertisements are forcing their way into peoples lives. People refer to advertisements in their daily lives because they are consumers. The advertisers are usually manufacturers, retailers and salesmen. Their merchandise needs to be advertised to bring it to the attention to the customers. Thus nearly every product is advertised in some way. To a large extent, good advertising leads to success while bad advertising can mean failure.There are many ways to advertise and ads come in different forms. Newspapers carry advertisements. Some products are publicized on TV and radio which bring them into notice of a wide audience. Billboards also carry advertising. Advertising is a big industry now and many agencies have been set up to furnish a variety of forms.However, advertising is not always truthful. A product is often misrepresented. The advertiser exaggerates the benefits of the merchandise he wants to sell. Thus, he misrepresents the truth. The consumer falls victim to such advertising.
