2010年专四真题作文Should College Students Hire Cleaners?Should college students hire cleaners? Students views on this issue vary from one to another. Some students think that it is reasonable to hire cleaners for laundry and dorm cleaninjg while others hold that hiring cleaners does harm to the college students. In my point of view, although there are some conveniences of hiring cleaners, the losses far outweigh the benefits. The reasons are mainly as follows: First of all, students lose the opportunities to enhance their unity and friendship. Friends are indispensable in college life, especially for freshmen. It is a chance for them to develop friendship and teamwork when they clean dorms together and do laundry together. With the joy of working for their own surroundings, they can appreciate college life better. In addition, students become more independent by taking care of their own lives. Doing laundry or cleaninjg dorms is surely an effective way to learn how to keep a balance between study and the rest and how to arrange schedule properly. To sum up, hiring cleaners is unnecessary. On campus, students can enjoy a colorful and independent life by doing their own chores, so it is wise not to hire cleaners. 2009年专四真题作文Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China. Many people believe that tourism produce positive effects on economic growth and we should try our best to promote tourism. But what these people fail to see is that tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on our environment. As for me, Im firmly convinced that too much tourists bring harm to the environment.The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itself in various ways. One way is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot. In order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on the environment. This process usually breaks the ecological balance of the area. In some mountainous places, trees are being cut down to build hotels for others to see and explore the beauty of the mountains. Then land slides and mud-rock flows come up. Another way the development of tourism has damaged the environment occurs when tourists go to scenic spots. Some tourists dont have the awareness to protect the environment, and ignorantly throw their garbage here and there. Some people even kill the local wildlife to eat, which badly damages the balance of the natural environment.It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of tourism. We must keep in mind that too much tourists bring harm to the environment. We need to find a balance between satisfying the needs of tourists and reducing to a minimum the pollution they cause.Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?As an economic activity, tourism in recent years has developed rapidly in China. Tourism reflects humans explorations of nature, which has led to economic development on the one hand and environmental destruction on the other. While economy grows, environment destruction also grows, as a result of ceaseless tapping of natural resources and continuous increase of the number of tourists.How does tourism bring harm to the environment? Firstly, over exploitation of new scenic spots will change ecological system, which will consequently cause environmental degeneration. In order to attract tourists, plenty of man-made sceneries have been built, due to which the natural conditions have been destroyed. One example is Qinghai Lake, its environmental degeneration in the form of expansion of desert areas and extinction of some rare animals. According to a research report, tourism should take partial responsibility for this harmful result. In one word, reckless tapping of natural resources will break ecological balance.Secondly, a large proportion of tourists, most of the time, play the role of environment destructor. They do not have the awareness of environment protection. So it is very common to see them throw garbage wherever they go. And then it is reported that some originally beautiful and clear lake became ugly and dirty, which conduces to various bacteria. Some of the tourists even have a weird habit of eating wild animals, whose practice, to some extent, encourages the killing of wildlife. All the above-listed behaviors and, many others gravely damaged our environment.On all accounts, harm that tourism brings to the environment has already been seen and will become more serious if tourism industry keeps developing in an uncontrolled manner. So what we should do in the current situation is to try to make a sustainable developmental plan, through whose implementation the balance between economic growth and environment protection can be maintained.2008年专四作文真题 The Benefits of VolunteeringVolunteering has grown into a fashion these years, with volunteers ranging from college students to white collar workers. It is reported now China has 4.5 million registered volunteers having provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. Why would so many people like to do volunteer work? Are there any benefits of volunteering?The answer is absolutely yes. First of all, through volunteering we can gain more experiences. Whatever volunteering work we do, either being a volunteer teacher for a village school or a volunteer worker in a retired house, we can taste different lifestyles and broaden our horizon.Secondly, through volunteering we can acquire the sense of being needed. Many people feel frustrated with travails in life and empty with the cycling of working and resting. They gradually become numb, losing the sense of being needed. By joining the volunteer group and offering help voluntarily to people who need it, we may feel happy and fulfilled again.Thirdly, through volunteering we can learn more good qualities. Volunteer work is team work, which needs good cooperation. We can know people with different personalities and different background joining in the volunteer group and devoting to the volunteer work together. From our co - volunteers we can absorb many good qualities that could help us be better persons.In conclusion, volunteering is of great benefit in that we can gain more experiences, acquire the sense of being needed and learn more good qualities.Benefits of VolunteeringIm more than glad to see that an increasing number of people are willing to help the people in need. And I firmly believe that volunteering can enhance their ability to tackle problems.As we can see, thousands of college students are flocking to rural areas as temporary teachers. There is no doubt that tons of problems are awaiting: lack of food, poor living conditions, etc. So, they need to take great pains to overcome the problems. For example, they have to get used to the simple food with strong will-power, and prepare lessons in poor light. Whats more, students there might not cooperate with them well, so they have to figure out a way to interest them, get them involved so as to teach them more effectively. It must be extremely hard for the volunteers to fit in at the beginning, but as they accumulate more experience, they will work out problems successfully.To sum up, volunteering will not only help those in need, but also enhance volunteers capability when they face difficulties. So, put on your coat, pick up your bag, and go volunteering!2007年专四作文真题 Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?Currently the public has paid great attention to the debate concerning whether it is wise or not to make friends online. Taking all the favorable and unfavorable aspects into account, I stand firmly on the side that we can benefit from making friends online. This point of perspective, I believe, shared by the largest proportion of the public, can be explained in the following tangible reasons. Firstly, communication is unquestionably regarded as an extremely important element in our society. Unfortunately, there are people around us appear to be apathetic and have got no idea about how to make an acquaintance with a stranger. They may be too shy or nervous or they are afraid of being refused by others. But remember no man is an island entire of itself, every man is a part of the continent, a part of the main. As a consequence, regardless of the fact that whether you like it or not, as individuals, we have to be part of the main. And, internet, as a mass medium, provides us with a chance. Things turn to be quite different because sitting in front of the computer screen, people who are scared to make friends online can talk with others more naturally and confidently. Secondly, it is well acknowledged that we can learn a lot from our e-pals. If our friend online were a foreigner, we can practice English with him or her. Whats more, we can have a glimpse of general information of another country，such as the culture, the tradition, the custom or the geography. From what have mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that making friends online can do us some good. And communication online is having a greater impact on our daily life. Is it wise to make friends on the Internet?With the overwhelming development of Internet, never has been a communication tool, like MSN or QQ, that makes people contact with each other using such a convenient and extensive method. However, is it wise to make acquaintance with cyber friends throughout the globe even when each others identity is secretly classified? My answer is no.Admittedly, making friends online bring us a great amount of joy and unimagined stimulating experience. Nevertheless, as we can only communicate people though words or images, someone with ulterior motives may hide behind the screen waiting for a moment to conspire his illegal actions. Just as the joke tells, a 21 years old pretty girl may turn out to be an 80 years old ugly drunker.In addition, people are easily getting addicted to this fictitious relationship and losing the ability of surviving in their real living environment. Net communication can never take the place of a face to face taking or a familiar attracting expression. What is more, who are you turning into when emergency happens, someone thousands miles far away that you even dont know about his name, or the next door neighbors who smile at you every morning? In conclusion, when we try to make friends online, it is necessary to be sensible and take precautions to ensure our safety especially meeting net friends outside. Only in this way, can we enjoy the exciting experience and extremely convenient the net brings to us.Online Friends, Live ResourcesAs I see it, making friends online should be encouraged, especially for English learners in China. Online communication with native speakers of English can significantly increase ones knowledge in English and the foreign culture , and more importantly, the motivation in learning and using the language.To begin with, online chatting is a simulation of everyday conversation in real life, which greatly improves the participants English. When connected to the Internet, English is the only language to communicate with others. And one is forced to exhaust his repertoire of English to express ideas and feelings, and to keep the conversation going. In this virtual environment, one learns the basic expressions and techniques of English communication much faster than in English classes. Furthermore, while the knowledge of the language itself increases through online chatting, one also receives abundant cultural information from his foreign friends. As the interest in culture is one important stimulus to learn a language, talking with natives from the English culture sure helps to enhance ones interest in the culture, and thus encourages him to learn more. People against making key pals seem to worry about the risks of making bad friends. But it is just so simple to ignore those with bad intent by dragging them into the blacklist, while keeping in touch with kind and helpful people. As long as one does not leak his private information, it is totally safe to explore online.Making online friends not only helps to improve ones English proficiency, but also encourages one to learn more about the English culture. It is a method worth promoting for English learners to improve language studies as well as broaden their views.2006年专四真题作文 My Idea of Saving Money A recent survey, carried out by a Beijing-based information company, has shown that two thirds of the Chinese college students today favor the idea of saving money for later use, whereas quite many others deem it much better to use tomorrows money today. Personally, I side with the former.Firstly, saving money can relieve ones anxiety in case of accidents, disease or other mishaps. As we all know, when one faces such tragedies as fir damage or fatal disease, one would need a large amount of money to survive such difficulties. Secondly, saving money can give one a sense of fulfillment. Since most people work hard every day, they will be quiet happy and satisfied with his “achievement” when they find they have accumulated a large deposit in the bank. Thirdly, saving money allows one to give a helping hand to others. With money available at the moment, one can offer badly needed help to those in temporary difficulty, say, those who are suffering from flood, famine, a car accident, or things like that. Yet taking a loan from a bank is often too costly. Thus, the timely help will be rewarded with gratitude. A dependable friendship will eventually be fostered.To sum up, saving money does have many advantages. Indeed, it is an important aspect of the Chinese conception of virtue. Therefore, lets start saving money from today on. Using Tomorrows Money for Todays ComfortRecently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students, and the results have shown that 67 percent students think that saving money is a good habit, while the rest believe using tomorrows money today is better. For me, I agree with the latter point of view.Most people may have heard of the story about a Chinese old lady and an American old lady. The former spent all her life painstakingly saving enough money to buy a new apartment, without living in it for a long time before her death, while the latter first borrowed money form the bank to buy a new apartment in her youth and lived in it comfortably, then spent the rest of her life paying the loan. In the story, the results are the same-they both bought an apartment, but their life experiences are radically different; the former hardly lived in the house for she had spent all her life saving money for it, while the latter enjoyed living there for quite a long time because she “ used tomorrows money today”. By comparison, we can clearly see that the latters choices of lifestyle is much better than the formers Then, why dont we use tomorrows money for todays comfort?To conclude, I think using tomorrows money today is much better than saving money all day.Using Tomorrows MoneySome of you may have heard about the story of two old ladies. One said before taking the last breath with a sigh, Finally Ive saved enough money to buy an apartment ; the other remarked with a relieved smile, At last Ive paid off all the mortgage for my house. This make-up story vividly shows two different attitudes of consumption; saving money or using tomorrows money. Personally I would rather use tomorrows money so as to enjoy a quality life before it is too late.With the rapid development of market economy and increasing income, China has already entered a consumption era and it is natural for people to seek after material things and pleasure. Using tomorrows money will help people satisfy their needs. For example, nowadays the housing in Beijing is getting more and more expensive; as a result, lots of young people cannot afford a decent apartment. To solve the problem we can borrow money from the bank. With the bank loan, we can have our own shelter right away, which will definitely facilitate our life and work a great deal. Moreover, using tomorrows money can also help those in difficulties, ensure them a better future. In some rural areas in China, quite a few talented students might lose the opportunity of higher learning simply because they could not pay their college tuition in the past. Now by asking for loans from the government, more students are able to attend college, which will offer them a brighter future.Surely using tomorrows money cannot only meet the urgent needs of a group of people, but also enable some enjoy a better life earlier. But we need to be realistic about the burden we can shoulder at the same time when spending tomorrows money because the debt has to be paid back some day in the future.2005年专四真题作My Idea of a University Arts FestivalWith merely four months to go before the arts festival starts, my fellow students are getting increasingly enthusiastic in brainstorming for the significant event. While in my opinion typical activities such as performances, forums and lectures on art should be taken into consideration. The festival itself is an image-creating undertaking. Students should be attracted to the festival at the first glimpse, so the opening ceremony must be of vital importance. Fascinating performances, for instance, pop music, ballet dancing and instrument playing ought to be put on in this section and if possible an orchestra can be invited to add spice to the ceremony. Certainly only performances are too superficial. To help students take a deeper insight of arts, forums and lectures must be held. Forums can be held through BBS owning to the wide accessibility to Internet, whereas prof
