2011年12月英语四级作文话题预测范文：食品污染 Food ContaminationFrom time immemorial, food contamination has become a common phenomenon in China, ranging from poisonous milk power to the plasticizers in huge quantities of Taiwan-manufactured beverages and food exported to the mainland. The public has experienced so many crises of food contamination that only the most deadly cases would create some sensations, which soon pass into oblivion with the quick occurrence of new ones.Food contamination is indisputably detrimental. The poisonous milk power has bereaved many young couples of their innocent and lovely new babes. Some contaminated foods lead to irreversible and chronic diseases. Some affected individuals, though without visible aftermaths, may suffer from lingering psychological trauma. However, the hazards produced by food contamination are more moral than physiologicalwith contamination cases cropping up here and there, the credibility of the entire society has been ruined and people find nothing and nobody to be trustworthy. Technically, food contamination is caused by the introduction of illegal additives and non-edible chemical substances into the manufactured food. Morally, it results from the sheer drive for profitability by gluttonous merchants who use cheaper, and often harmful, substitutes, all at the expense of the physical welfare of the public. To address the problem, some appeal to the moral conscience of the businessmen. But the high frequency at which contamination cases have happened makes this moral appeal feeble ultimate solution lies in lawthe profit-minded businessmen would not have penitent heart unless they are driven to bankruptcy and taken into jail! 【重点句式与短语】11.

Communication as a function has become so important in English teaching methodology that a dist that a distinctive school of English teaching has been createdthe Communicative Approach. This fully testifies to the growing importance of communication in English learning and acquisition. Unfortunately, in Chinese universities, English classes, like many other classes, are primarily teacher-dominated. For a long time, both students and instructors have seemed contented with discussing grammar and understanding passages through reading, overlooking the oral communication which is much more essential. However, communication is a bridge leading to closer student-teacher interaction. Students should overcome their diffidence and nervousness ensuing from their grammatical deficiencies. They should simply become more concerned with expressing themselves thanseekinggrammaticalaccuracy.Astheybecomemoreoutspokenandexpressive,theywouldautomaticallybecomemoregrammaticallycompetent.TheemphasisoncommunicationinEnglishclasses will result in many obvious advantages. English will become an instrument of expressing thoughts for the person who speaks it, instead of a tool just for reading about the thoughts of others. In addition, teachers can have positive and timely feedback from students through communication. Finally, by honing their communicative skills, Chinese students will become more competent in interact in interacting with their international counterparts in this ageof globalization. I believe those factors are what English learning is all about for Chinese students.【值得熟记的句式与短语】31. English is essentially a vehicle for communication 英语 本质上是一种交流工具2.

In the 1990s, college education was not totally free as it was before, which also accounts for the rising expenses on education. Soon after, the government gradually stopped offering houses to its citizens without charges. People had to save a large proportion of their money for housing. Thats partly why the expenses for “others” doubled.As for the more expenses on health care, I figure there are two main reasons :thecancellationoffreemedicalcareandpeoplesawarenessoftheimportanceofhealth.Thechangesreflectthedevelopmentofthecityandindicatethatpeopleareenjoyingmore.给*周刊宇航专栏的编辑写一封信，说明你对太空探索项目的态度(支持或反对)，并简单陈述你的理由。Dear Editor，Thank you for your starting a special column jor the discussion on space projects.
