大学英语四级考试必背作文Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled My Views on Examinations. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below. 1. 大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩2. 考生可能带来的副作用3. 我对考试的看法My Views on ExaminationsIn most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?Jobs for GraduatesJob hunting has always been a headache for college graduates. Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.The reasons for this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.I think the problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures. First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. Second, students attitude towards employment should be changed. They should go to some small cities and country. There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention, the problem can be solved.Directions: Youre allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong will by commenting on the humorous saying, “Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world. Ive done it hundreds of time.” Youd write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.1. 坚强的意志是成功的重要保证2. 意志坚定的人才能完成伟大的使命3. 学生也是这样，不刻苦学习，终究不会成为有用之才Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong willThere is an old saying: where there is a will, there is a way. It tells us that a strong will is the most essential quality that anyone who wants to achieve success. It can contribute a lot to ones success.Although “All roads lead to Rome”, none of them is completely smooth. Our life is filled with obstacles which may make us feel so hopeless that we may choose to give up. At the crucial moment, strong will helps a lot. As a matter of fact, the ability to work through difficult situation and unfortunate events with strong will can make one stronger and more capable. In other words, if we want to realize lifes goal, we must keep forging ahead with strong consciousness.From what has been discussed above, we can see that the establishment of tough determination is of great importance to everyone. With a strong will, including our knowledge, we will be able to deal with any situation in our life. Whatever we do , as long as we stick to and do not give up easily, we will realize the goal at last.Pollution of environmentThese days we often hear that our living conditions are getting more and more serious because of the destruction of our environment. It is common that many trees and animals are near extinction, and the all-important food chain has been destroyed.Why does such circumstance occur in spite of social protects? For one thing, the population of the world is increasing so rapidly that the world has been so crowded. For another, the overuse of natural resources has influenced the balance of natural ecology. What is more, since the industrial revolution, it is natural that a great number of factories have been springing up like mushrooms. The smoke and harmful chemicals released from factories also pollute the environment.To solve the problem is not easy at all, but is worthy. We should do something such as planting more trees, equipping cars with pollution-control devices and learning to recycling natural resources to improve the present situation, and I do believe everything will be better in the future.The importance of self- confidenceCurrently, self- confidence has been the order of the day. This does demonstrate the theorynothing is more valuable than self- confidence.It is clear that self- confidence means trust in ones abilities. If you are full of self- confidence, it will bring your creative power to play, arouse your enthusiasm for work, and help you overcome difficulties, as a result, your dreams will come true. On the contrary, if you have no confidence in yourself, there is little possibility that you would ever achieve anything. Failure will be following with you. It turns out that all your plan falls through.No one can deny another fact that self- confidence gives you light when you are in dark and encouragement when you are dismayed. You dont have to look very far to find out the truth, in respect that we all know the secret of Mme. Curie lies in perseverance and self- confidence, the latter in particular. It will exert a profound influence upon the achievement of ones ambitions. With reference to my standpoint, I think he that can have self- confidence can have what he will.Generation gap between parents and childrenNowadays, there are more and more misunderstanding between parents and children which is so- called generation gap. It is estimated that 75 percentages of parents often complain their childrens unreasonable behavior while children usually think their parents too old fashioned. Why have there been so much misunderstanding between parents and children?Maybe the reasons can be listed as follows. The first one is that the two generations, having grown up at different times, have different likes and dislikes, thus the disagreement often rises between them. Besides due to having little in common to talk about, they are not willing to sit face to face. The third reason is with the pace of modern life becoming faster and faster, both of them are so busy with their work or study that they dont spare enough time to exchange ideas.To sum up, the main cause of generation gap between parents and children is due to lake of communication and understanding each other. It is high time that something were done upon it. For one thing, children should respect their parents. On the other hand, parents also should show solicitude for their children. All these measures will certainly bridge the generation gap.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled How to Eliminate Fake Diplomas?

Furthermore, it is unfair that one fails to get his job just because his rival has a fake diploma or certificate. Therefore, it is high time that we took effective measures to stop fake diplomas from spreading.First of all, companies and universities should have a contact so that the fake diplomas cannot play tricks. Moreover, the one who fabricates the fake diplomas should be severely punished by laws and totally exposed through media.

Only through these ways can this problem be tackled.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic College Students Starting Their Own Undertakings.

The government encourages this practice, and provides many preferential policies and facilitation measures for college students. This phenomenon has aroused great concern from the whole society.However, why do so many college students take the way of starting their own undertakings?

Besides, the governments encouragement and the medias reports on college students venture stars have stimulated more college students enthusiasm to take this way.As for me, it is a good choice for college students to start their own undertakings.

You should write at least 150 words and you should base your composition on the outline below:1. 有些人赞成养宠物2. 有些人反对养宠物3. 你的观点Keeping PetsThere is no denying the fact that keeping pets is a hotly debated topic today. Some people claim that keeping pets is a good thing to do. They believe that pets, like cats and dogs, can help relieve the loneliness suffered by senior citizens and other social members who are confined to their homes for this reason or that. They also argue that keeping pets helps mankind understand animals world and develop positive feelings toward them.Others, however, hold the opposite view. They regard keeping pets as a useless but harmful thing to do. First, pets can transmit diseases. Secondly, the noises and dung of pets are sources of pollution. Last but not least, as many rare birds and animals are kept as pets, they will surely be hunted on a large scale, which means a threat to the balance of the ecosystem.Weighing the arguments of both sides, I am inclined to agree with the latter. Anyway, we can lessen our loneliness and express our love toward animals in other ways. And it is my belief that only by placing man and other species on an equal basis can we expect to have a lively and colorful world.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Recreational Activities.

No one can deny that it was a real convenience in our daily life. However, what would our society be like with the excessive use?The sharp increase in using plastic bags has given a rise to such problems as environmental pollution. It takes many years for plastic bags to be absorbed by soil, which blocks the drainage system and causes water pollution. Whats worse, some bags are of poor-quality, and even harmful to public health.Awareness of the matter in question is one thing, but more important to us is the step of how to cope with it. From June 1st this year, using of disposable plastic bags in supermarkets is limited strictly. Consequently, people come to take environment-friendly cloth bags and the business cost in supermarkets is cut down as well. Only in this way can we protect both the environment and our own health.Sharp 急剧的 大量的give rise to 引起 使发生in question 正被讨论Whats more In addition Moreover Besides Furthermore Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minute to write a short essay entitled Free Admissions to Museums?

By doing so, they can attract more visitors, and offer the visitors more opportunities to explore and get easy access to the world of history, culture and knowledge.However, some people view that the practice also brings problems and concerns. They are right in a sense. For one thing, their main concern is that with more visitors, it is possible that objects exhibited can get damaged more easily. For another, it becomes a huge economic burden for museums to run as usual without any profits from the visitors.In my humble opinion, I am absolutely in favor of this practice. The reason lies in the fact that the government should provide more opportunities for citizens to explore and get access to the knowledge world. Moreover, kids and teenagers can acquire knowledge in a more vivid way in the museums. I hope all the people can share the same national treasures in more free museums.Firstly secondlyIn the first place in the second placeIn my point of viewget access to 接触 in favor of 赞同 vivid 生动的 鲜明的Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled What Electives to Choose.

UndergraduatesAccording to dozens of reports from different media, there has been a phenomenon that it is easier for many junior college students to get a job to their hearts content than those undergraduates.Thinking deeply about the phenomenon, two reasons can easily be chased down. For one thing, junior college students can learn more practical skills. For another, in a junior college, students tend to be more industrious and hardworking for rivaling their counterparts in colleges or universities, so they would master more than those undergraduates.As far as I am concerned, no matter what kind of sc
