1.Should College Students Be Allowed to Live off Campus?Some time ago, Chinas Ministry of Education banned university students from renting private accommodation. To this peoples attitudes differ sharply. Some hold the positive view. They say that most students prefer to live off campus for the purpose of living with their boyfriends or girl friends, which might severely affect their study. Besides, living on campus can ensure the safety of students and facilitate communication between them.However, many others hold the opposite view. They claim that the living conditions on campus are unbearable. The dormitory is usually crowded and badly equipped. Besides, the university cuts the electricity too early every night. Therefore, many students choose to live off campus in rented houses with the purpose of enjoying a reasonably better living environment and concentrating more on their studies.As far as I am concerned, I tend to believe that universities should be more flexible towards the administration of dorms. The ban should never be a cut-off measure and special situations should be considered. Meanwhile, the school should try to upgrade the overall condition of dorms and provide all students with a better service at a low price.(或Personally, I am in favor of the decision of Chinas Ministry of Education. Anyway, college students, most aged 18-22, are still too young to control themselves or make proper decisions. Besides, living on campus promotes a sense of belonging by being closely connected with other students. This could truly be a valuable part of the four-year college education.)2. On Lottery GamesThere is no denying the fact that lottery games have become a hotly debated topic in China. Opinions on this issue differ from person to person. Some people believe that lottery games are beneficial in many ways. For one thing, they help collect money for the poor, the disabled and the cause of sports. For another, lottery games provide people with a means of entertainment or pastime.Many others, however, hold the opposite view. They claim that lottery games are, in fact, a kind of gambling. People are tempted to earn money through their luck instead of down-to-earth labor. They also aruge that the ticket buyers attach more importance to the prizes than to the support of the disabled or the cause of sports.As far as I am concerned,/ Weighing the arguments of both sides, I believe that it is OK to buy lottery tickets. Anyway, it has been existence for many years and proved to be more beneficial than harmful. Actually, we dont have to worry too much because facts have shown that most people can treat lottery games with a peaceful and normal mind.(Personally, I think that both sides have something right. Actually, lottery games should be viewed as a two-edged sword, which presents us with both benefits and troubles. But we should not give up eating for fear of choking. The best policy, as I see it, is to maximize their advantages and minimize their unhealthy influence, so that they can benefit us in a better way.)3. TV Talent Show - A Good Thing or Bad?An army of people today are fond of the TV talent show. They support it and see themselves as fans of one or another show star. They believe that the TV talent show can change ones fortune. At least, they argue that, the show offers the opportunity to show and develop ones talents.On the contrary, a number of people hold the negative attitude to TV talent shows. They maintain that the TV talent show today is like a river that has risen to its flood level. It misleads the youth and makes them believe that they can make a fortune or become famous overnight. As a result, a lot of students cant calm down to study on the shows season. Some of them take interest in imitating their idol, so much so that they can hardly recognize themselves.For my part, I believe that the TV talent show is like a double-edged sword, which can do both good and harm. Therefore, it is extremely important for us to face it properly. For one thing, the TV studios are supposed to create more positive and favorable shows. For another, the media ought to guide people, especially the young, to right way and refrain from exaggerating the effect of the show.4. College Students Job HuntingThere is no denying the fact that job hunting is a grave problem with which college graduates are confronted. Reports are often heard upon the number of students who fail to find a job on graduation. Actually, the problem has become so widespread that it has severely affected the graduates life and hindered the development of economy.A number of factors account for the problem, but the following are the most critical ones. First, in recent years, colleges and universities have enrolled so many students that the number of graduates are far greater than the need in the market. Secondly, many graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable jobs to do than go to small towns or the country. Last but not least, the ongoing financial crisis and economic depression aggravate the difficulty in job-seeking.In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. For one thing, it is essential that the government create more job opportunities by all means. For another, graduates should change their attitude towards employment and go to work in small cities and the country. With these measures taken, we have reasons to believe that the problem can be solved in the near future.5. Food SafetyThere is no denying the fact that food safety is a grave problem with which we are confronted. Reports are often heard upon food products of bad quality. The most notable instance might be the notorious San Lu milk powder scandal which has drawn considerable publicity in the past months. Actually, the problem has become so widespread that it has severely affected peoples life and hindered the development of economy.Fake and shoddy food products are bound to generate severe consequences if we keep turning a blind eye to them. First and foremost, they directly infringe upon consumers rights, wasting their money and threatening their health and even lives. Besides, the production and sale of such food cause serious losses on the part of honest and lawful producers. Last but not least, the destruction of the food means a grievous waste of the nations resources.In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is high time that pertinent laws and regulations were worked out and rigidly enforced to crack down on any production and circulation of substandard food products. Meanwhile, inactive and incompetent civil servants should be immediately purged from the team of food safety supervision and administration. Only with these measures taken can we expect a bright future of this nation.（10）Effects of Financial Crisis on College Students 审题概述：这是一篇主要论述金融危机与大学生关系的文章。第一段，概述金融危机给世界造成的影响。第二段，论述金融危机给大学生带来的就业、经济等影响。第三段，阐述大学生面对金融危机带来的影响应提高专业技能等。【范文】Effects of Financial Crisis on College StudentsSince the financial crisis swept the world, the global economy has sunk into a severe recession. Its hard to get through a day without hearing or reading news about the devastating effects of the crisis: A world of companies go bankrupt, millions of employees are laid off, high-return investment bubbles burst, and huge sums of loans can never be retrieved. Its impact on our daily life can be felt in all walks of life。College students inevitably fall victim to this pervasive slump as well. On top of that, internships and job vacancies are reduced to the minimum as companies keep shrinking. New graduates find themselves hard to get a job, not to speak of a satisfactory one. What comes next? Poor students will be hard-pressed if they find student loans unavailable any more. As a result, some even cannot afford to continue their studies. Lastly, more students are probably out there anxiously looking for part-time jobs now that they have to help cover their expenses in this gloomy economy. Their innocence and eagerness might be taken advantage of by some malicious businesspeople, or even criminal gang。In response to these threats, we students must act promptly and wisely. Since we definitely will be facing a competitive job market, its crucial that we submit high quality resumes. Therefore, we must commit more to our professional studies. Even do better, master more relevant job skills as a double security. Furthermore, apply for scholarships and grants, as these are still available and we dont have to pay them back. As for the safety issues, trust our instinct theres no free lunch in this world. Anything that promises quick returns without much work is a sure trap.

Take a look around. We operate on pirated Windows systems, defend PC security with pirated Kaspersky anti-virus programmes, process files with pirated Microsoft Office, draft 3D designs with pirated AutoCAD, refine pictures with pirated Adobe Photoshop, and study English with pirated Kingsofts electronic dictionaries and translators. Its no exaggeration that pirated software is everywhere。The logic behind the phenomenon is simple and clear: if a pirated copy is available for just a tiny fraction of the normal price, not to speak of many of the free downloads online, who would pay for an authentic copy? Cheaper prices aside, easy access is another important factor. With such a large gathering of pirated upgrades around, who would bother to spend time and money searching the stores for an authorized yet outdated version? Despite these apparent benefits, the practice of software piracy should be banned, because it represents unfair competition and by nature its a no-win situation. But how? Two approaches are to be taken at the same time: Technically, software developers should enhance their antipiracy engineering, so that cracking the software should be virtually impossible. And legally, the government should also tighten its antipiracy laws and toughen up the penalties, so that violations should be costly。第一段思路点评：概述中国盗版软件泛滥的现状。语言点提示：the rampant practice of software piracy猖獗的盗版软件第二段思路点评：论述盗版软件猖獗的原因。语言点提示：(1)downloads online 在线下载。(2)authentic copy正版。684大学英语四级考试网第三段思路点评：阐述打击盗版软件的具体做法，包括软件商和政府采取的应对措施。语言点提示：tighten its antipiracy laws and toughen up the penalties加强反盗版立法和盗版惩罚(八)The Rise of Shanzhai CulturePeu1.最近兴起了一股“山寨热”2. 你如何看待山寨现象审题概述：本文是一篇论述山寨现象以及人们和你对此看法的文章。第一段，概述方兴未艾的山寨热。第二段，阐述山寨产品的优势以及给人们带来的好处。第三段，论述人们和你对山寨现象的反对立场和观点，即山寨产品的非法性。【范文】The Rise of Shanzhai CulturePeuThe vast array of knockoff name-brand products, such as cell phones, DVDs, MP3 players, have made “shanzhai” the hottest word of the year. Now we wear shanzhai watches, talk through shanzhai cell phones, play shanzhai video games, use shanzhai computers, even watch shanzhai TV shows. Once a term used before some electronic products to suggest a copycat version of inferior quality, shanzhai now suggests to many Chinese creativity and trendiness. With the media all over the rise of shanzhai culture, public opinions are clearly divided。Advocates invariably associate it with innovation, stylishness, the DIY spirit, open-mindedness and practicality, as shanzhai products often mix imitation with innovation a similar skin but a different heart. The end products are usually more functional and much cheaper than the original. Besides, they respond to the market more swiftly and they are more considerate in design. Thanks to them, more people at the grassroots level can enjoy the benefit of modern technology。However, other people, including myself, hold more reserved attitudes towards the shanzhai fever. For all the popularity it has won, a copycat is a copycat. The mockery of the prestige products not only steals their profits but also upsets market competition. Moreover, shanzhai products thrive on the current legal loopholes. Under the disguise of anti-dominance slogans, they make illegal profits by violating intellectual property rights and evading taxes. And to top it off, the so-called innovation is only senseless talk as true innovation always faces huge costs and potential failures, while plagiarism simply builds success on other peoples risks。第一段思路点评：综述山寨热现象。语言点提示：public opinions are clearly divided此句起承上启下的作用第二段思路点评：主要阐述山寨产品的优势语言点提示：(1)mix imitation with innovation混淆模仿与创新。(2)respond to the market对市场做出反应。第三段思路点评：主要阐述对山寨产品侵权、扰乱市场等方面的看法。语言点提示：(1)The mockery of the prestige products拙劣地模仿名牌(2)thrive on茁壮成长、蓬勃发展、繁荣 (3)legal loopholes法律漏洞(空子) (4)Under the disguise of anti-dominance slogans在反垄断口号的伪装下 (5)violating intellectual property rights违反知识产权(6)evading taxes逃税(7)plagiarism剽窃、抄袭(七) Knowledge and DiplomaEGY大学英语四级考试网1. 目前社会上存在这样一种说法：文凭越高越吃香EGY大学英语四级考试网2. 而有些人则认为文凭不等于知识EGY大学英语四级考试网3. 你的观点EGY大学英语四级考试网审题概述：EGY大学英语四级考试网这是一篇论述高文凭与知识关系的文章。第一段，概述社会上文凭越高越吃香的看法。第二段，主要论述有些人文凭不等于知识的观点。第三段，重点阐述你对此的看法。EGY大学英语四级考试网【范文】EGY大学英语四级考试网Knowledge and DiplomaEGY大学英语四级考试网It is generally believed that a high diploma guarantees a promising future. Some people identify high diplomas with profound knowledge and exceptional competence. Companies also tend to emphasize the academic achievement of a job candidate. Like it or not, there does exist a social reality the higher diplomas one gets, the more popular he becomes。EGY大学英语四级考试网On the contrary, other people claim that a high diploma doesnt automatically translate into knowledge. A diploma, in their eyes, is only the acknowledgment of ones educational experience rather than a guarantee of ones ability. Therefore, we can never measure the depth of ones knowledge by the grade of ones diploma. Besides, many knowledgeable people dont have a high diploma. Take Bill Gates for example. His dropping out of college cannot deny the fact that he is one of the worlds most learned men。EGY大学英语四级考试网So I must say no one should ever equate a diploma with knowledge, because a diploma is nothing but a proof of a short-term study while genuine knowledge needs ones lifelong devotion。EGY大学英语四级考试网第一段思路点评：先陈述人们对高文凭高能力的看法，再点出这是一种社会现实。EGY大学英语四级考试网语言点提示：job candidate求职者、应聘者EGY大学英语四级考试网第二段思路点评：详细论述文凭并不等于能力。EGY大学英语四级考试网语言点提示：Acknowledgment承认、致谢、感谢、答谢EGY大学英语四级考试网第三段思路点评：使用一个长句阐述了你对文凭与知识辩证关系的认识。EGY大学英语四级考试网语言点提示：(1)equate a diploma with knowledge 把文凭与知识划等号。(2)nothing but a proof of a short-term study只是短期学习的证明。EGY大学英语四级考试网(六) University Students Pursuit of Famous BrandsqaZ大学英语四级考试网1.现在很多大学生都追求穿名牌，用名牌qaZ大学英语四级考试网2.你对这种现象的看法qaZ大学英语四级考试网审题概述：qaZ大学英语四级考试网这是一篇论述对大学生追求和使用名牌看法的文章。第一段，详述大学生热衷追求、使用名牌的情形以及人们的看法。第二段，重点谈你对此的看法。qaZ大学英语四级考试网【范文】qaZ大学英语四级考试网University Students Pursuit of Famous BrandsqaZ大学英语四级考试网“What perfumes are you wearing?” “Arent your shoes Nikes latest release?” “I like the Mickey bag you bought yesterday。” “I hear the Jack & Jones store is on sale this week.
