外学生和导师的沟通不够，最后给出自己的观点---毕业论文对于学生而言很重要，如果用心去做，学生可以从中学到很多。第一段中servesasaroleofevaluation意为“起着评估的作用”；第二段中Consequently意为“随之产生，因此”；第三段中areofsuchalowquality意为“质量低”，fullyfocusedon意为“集中精力关注于”。预测作文（三）TheSpiritofLeiFeng1.雷锋精神学了半个世纪，雷锋却越来越少；2.当下我们该如何弘扬雷锋精神？【范文】LeiFeng,aheroicmodelinChinawhowasknownforhisaltruismanddevotiontothecountry,hasbeentakenasarolemodeloverpast50years.Butinrecentyears,somepeoplehaveabandonedtheirlong-heldwaysoflearningfromLeiFengandbecometooselfishtohelpingpeopleinneed.Intoday'sdiversesociety,whereindividualinterestsaregivenmoreemphasis,theimageofLeiFengseemstohavelostitsappealtosomepeople,andisevenmetwithcynicism.Buteverybodycandothebasics:showmorecompassion,haveastrongersenseofobligationandtrytodogood,nomatterhowsmallitis.Furthermore,governmentsshouldpaymoreattentiontomoralityconstruction,raisepeople'swillingnesstohelpothers,letthemrealizethataltruismisalwaysnecessaryforaharmonioussocietyandprovidefueltotheflamesoitcanburnmorebrightly.【点评】文章第一段通过介绍雷锋，说明雷锋精神，引出社会现象：有些人变得自私，不愿帮助那些需要帮助的人；第二段指出过分强调个人利益使得雷锋形象失去原有魅力，为弘扬雷锋精神，个人应该有强烈的责任感，勿以善小而不为，政府应该加强道德建设，提高人们助人为乐的意识。文章第一段中altruism意为“无私，利他主义”，devotion意为“奉献”；takenasarolemodel意为“作为榜样”；第二段第一句中涉及where引导的定语从句，修饰先行词society，cynicism意为“冷嘲热讽，玩世不恭”，senseofobligation意为“义务感，使命感”；Furthermore表示递进。预测作文（四）InfluenceofDigitalProductsonCollegeStudents1.数码产品种类多，更新快，大学生人均拥有数码产品的数量越来越多；2.这种现象对大学生来说是有益还是有害？3.你的看法。【范文】Currently,collegestudentsareunavoidablyexposedtoallkindsofdigitalproducts,suchasdigitalcameras,laptops,cellphonesandsoon,whichgrowinanincreasingcategoriesandquantities.Manystudentscontinuouslyupdatetheir“equipments”tomeettheirover-growingneeds.Meanwhilepeopleshowgreatconcernsabouttheinfluenceofthoseproducts.Thereisnodoubtthatdigitalproductsmakethingsmoreconvenientforcollegestudents.Forinstance,computersandInternetenablestudentstocollectinformationwithgreatlyimprovedworkefficiency.What'smore,digitalitemswidenstudents'scopeofeyesightandmaketheirlifemorecolorful.Althoughtheseitemsalsocausenegativeeffects,astheymaywastethei
