Nowadays there are more and more secondhand goods in the market， such as secondhand books， furniture， appliances， cars， and so on. Why do so many people like to buy secondhand goods？The following reasons can account for this phenomenon. Above all， secondhand goods are cheaper than new ones. This enables those people who have poor financial abilities to buy the things they want. Moreover， secondhand goods transactions make it possible for people to make good use of the goods which may be useless in their hands. Besides， Internet provides a more convenient and quicker transaction platform for secondhand goods.However， there are also some problems in secondhand goods transactions. For one thing， the quality of secondhand goods can not be promised and you can not enjoy the good after-sale service. For another， secondhand goods market lacks enough supervision and management， and there exist many dishonest business activities. In a word， I think secondhand goods transaction is a good trading way， but it needs further perfection of the rules.类型二：现象，两种观点，自己观点。或者现象观点一,另一观点,自己观点.2011年12月英语四级作文预测:At present, a wide variety of credit cards issued by major banks and shopping malls are thriving in colleges and universities.On Credit CardAt present, a wide variety of credit cards issued by major banks and shopping malls are thriving in colleges and universities across the nation， with a multitude of college students making up a growing population of card holders. Indeed， one out of five students is estimated to be in possession of at least one credit card， and the figure is expected to be on the steady increase， the latest data published by Yangtze Evening Post suggests。Like anything prior to the emergence of this small piece of plastic， the increasing popularity of credit card on campus has both bright and dark sides. On the one hand， young adults in college， free from the trouble of pocketing a considerable sum of cash， could enjoy the convenience of credit cards and purchase expensive goods by installments. On the other hand， however， the irresponsible and excessive use of the cards by these youngsters， the majority of whom are fresh out of middle school incapable of budgeting their money， can make them heavily in debt which will take them years to pay off。On my personal level， while enjoying a host of conveniences the credit card may bring， we couldnt afford to ignore a conspicuous fact： in most cases， parents are our sole financial sources. Instead of spending without any restrict， we are supposed to put studies on the top of our agenda and move ourselves beyond heavy dependence upon our parents。2011年12月英语四级作文预测10:In recent years, many famous universities lower admission requirements for celebrities.

More and more celebrities, especially sports stars, have been admitted to famous universities even without an entry examination. This phenomenon has become a subject of widespread controversy.Some people object strongly that universities lower admission requirements for celebrities. They hold that this admission pattern will damage the basic fairness rule of education. In addition, they say that if a person who has not enough academic ability is admitted to the university, it would be an insult on college education. However, still other people think it acceptable. They say that these celebrities deserve this privilege because they have proved their abilities in their field. Besides, in their opinions, these celebrities to some extent set a good model for other young people.Weighing these two arguments, I prefer the latter one. For one thing, these celebrities have sacrificed much learning time for their work, so they should be provided a better chance for learning. For another, if they accept advanced education, they could serve the society better. Therefore, I suggest that people should pay more attention to these celebrities efforts and contributions rather than the special treatment they enjoy.2011年12月英语四级作文预测12:旅游方式College students, curious and energetic, love traveling; summer and winter vacations provide them with golden opportunities to travel.Modes of Travelling1.有人选择随团旅游，有人喜欢独自出游2.随团旅游和独自出游的利与弊3.对我而言，最佳的旅游方式是【精彩范文】 Modes of Travelling College students, curious and energetic, love traveling; summer and winter vacations provide them with golden opportunities to travel. There are two major modes of travellingtraveling by oneself or traveling in a group organized by travel agencies.Those two patterns offer different travel experiences, with respective advantages and disadvantages. For the solitary traveler, the greatest advantage is freedom. He is perfectly free to choose his itinerary and plan his schedules, thus he can visit whatever his curiosity leads him to and contemplate over a historical site or a cultural relic for as long as he desires. The trouble is he cannot share his perceptions and excitement with any partners. Moreover, it is time-consuming and difficult to buy train tickets and look for accommodations and in emergency situations an individual traveler is largely helpless. Those problems are non-existent for group travelers because travel agencies take care of everything. Within a group, people who used to be strangers soon become friends. However, the fixed itineraries and tight schedule prevent travelers from satiating their individual curiosities. In addition, tourists are often subjected to forced shopping by tour guides who are more concerned with securing commissions than providing services.My solution to these two imperfect modes of traveling is to travel with friends or classmates. This pattern incorporates most of their advantages while avoiding all their disadvantages. I am convinced this is the best and most sensible form of traveling which everybody should adopt.类型三：现象，个人见解(原因，解决方法)。2011年12月英语四级作文预测4: 就业的形势越来越严峻，东西部人才供需并不均衡；你认为是否应在西部就业及其原因。Directions： For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter on the issue of employment for graduates.

Employment becomes a major social issue in our country. More and more people pay great attention to it.This issue results from two aspects. First many undergraduates are finding jobs. They hope to get a job with high salary and other pensions. So the government and the society face great pressure. More job opportunities are needed to create for them. On the other hand， there are many vacancies of jobs in the west. So there comes an imbalance between the supply and demand in the east and the west. Few people want to seek jobs in the west. They prefer to live in the major cities， such as Beijing ， shanghai and other developed areas.To solve this issue， it is a better choice to encourage people to seek jobs in the west. This also helps to develop local economy and offer a brand new chance for graduates.2011年12月英语四级作文预测:Everybody wants to get wealth. In todays material world，making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a persons success and capability.健康和幸福Wealth and HappinessEverybody wants to get wealth. In todays material world，making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a persons success and capability. Many people just make every effort， pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money， they can but nice， large apartments in nice neighborhood; with money， they can own stately luxury cars. Wealth seems with money， they can own stately luxury cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.In my opinion， people cannot do anything without money， but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others， especially the poor， money is a good thing to you. With it， you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country， and it will and to your own happiness. If you want money just for your own needs， youll never be satisfied or happy. In a word， you should have money spent for more people， only then can money be the source of your happiness.类型五：书信2011年12月英语四级作文预测6:假设你的同学因食用从某超市买回的食品而食物中毒，后经治疗康复。请给报社写一封信，描述他（们）的中毒与脱险经过，呼吁社会各界重视食品安全。Directions： For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a publishing house on food safety.

As the problem of food safety has been becoming worse and worse nowadays， I am obliged to write to you.Several days ago， one of my classmates came back from supermarket with a large bag of food.
