审题思路

本题是一道问题解决/建议型的题目,一般建议型题目的写法是复述题干内容,直截了当提出自己的建议, 然后摆事实讲道理说明该建议有什么好处,最后把文章引入一个自然的总结段中即可。但是根据这个题目的题干,重点不是用理由来支持某个建议,而是详述该建议是什么,即分小点说明学校和学生应该分别做些什么。

范文赏析

On Dormitory Security

It is reported that recently in quite a few universities, dormitories on campus have been broken into and burglaries have happened every now and then. In fact, students have complained a lot that burglaries are like nightmares in their

college years. I think it’s high time that both students and universities did something to reduce and eliminate this kind of crime.

引言部分:作者先说明有报道说最近寝室遭窃的现象很多,困扰着学生们,然后提出学生和学校都应采取措施。

On the one hand, there are some measures which universities can take. First, universities should have all the dormitory doors and windows checked, find out and repair the broken ones so that thieves cannot go in easily. Second, the number of university security staff should be increased. Security personnel should patrol on campus and cross-question any suspicious person.

On the other hand, students should also do something to protect their

belongings. First, when they leave their dormitories, they should keep doors and windows locked to keep out sneak10thieves.Second, students should lock their valuables11 up in lockers12. In this way, they can reduce the risks of burglaries happening.

主体部分:作者分两方面来说,并在每方面下面又分了几个小点,这样一则可以丰富内容,二则使整篇文章逻辑清晰,衔接紧凑,成为一个完整的整体。

In one word, both students and universities should do something to reduce burglaries in dormitories. And only in a safe dormitory can a student live and study happily.

总结部分:作者用in one word自然而然地对上文进行了总结,并进一步说明只有寝室安全才能让学生生活和学习得更开心。

思路1:选择住校,说明住校有什么好处:比如同学之间的交流、学校信息的传递等;还可以简单说明租房有什么弊端,比如安全问题、费用问题等;

思路2 :选择租房,说明租房有什么好处:比如培养独立性、与社会接触等;还可以简单说明住校有什么弊端,比如受到限制太多、没有私人空间等;

思路3 :住校和租房结合,说明这种做法有什么好处:这时候就将上述好处综合起来说。 范文赏析

Living in University Dormitories or Apartments in the Community?

I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life as juniors and

seniors need the independence of off-campus life. Students’ needs change over four years, so should their housing .

引言部分:作者开门见山给出自己的观点:前两年住校后两年租房,并概述了原因——学生需求变化导致,表明下文将重点说明这种组合的原因.

Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. The freshmen and sophomores can interact more with other tudents, including not only your roommates, but everyone in the dormitory. Living in the

dormitory also makes a student feel more a part of the university community. There are more opportunities for becoming involved in university activities and networking with students and university administration.

Living off-campus, however, is a de?nite advantage for older students. Finding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord’s regulations, cooking meals, and ? guring out budgets are all good practice for life after graduation. This kind

of independence helps older students grow in adulthood. Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them.

Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students to ?nd out what other people think and feel.

主体部分:正文分为两部分,分别说明前两年为什么要住校和后两年出去住有什么好处。采取的论证手法主要是列举原因和举例说明。

In summary, I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students.

总结部分:作者用in summary 连接上下文,再次说明这种组合对学生是最有利的。 亮点回放

1. on campus: “在大学校内” ;中间有连字符连接时(on-campus )用作形容词,反义词为off-campus。

2. junior: “大三学生”;从大一到大四学生的说法分别是freshman,sophomore,junior,senior。

3. so should their housing:“他们的住房条件也应如此”;这里要注意so sb. do和so do sb.之间的区别,前者表示“某人确实如此”,后者表示“某人也是如此 ”。另外这里的housing通常只有单数形式。

4. get oriented to:“以……为导向”;亦可以写作be oriented to/toward ,be involved in此处表示 “适应” ,近义词为be adapted to/be adjusted to。

5. interact:“与……互动”;常用搭配为interact with 。

6. network:常用作名词,表示“网络” ,此处用作动词,表示 “沟通” ,常与with搭配。该词的使用体现了作者较大的词汇量。

7. administration:“管理” ,此处为 “管理部门” ,与学校入学管理有关的常用词还有enrollment (招生),registration (注册)等。

8. lease:“租约”;通常同学们会使用rent ,但lease在此处更贴切。

9. landlord:“地主、房东” ;如为女房东,为landlady 。

10. figure out:“想出、算出、解决” ;此处也可以用make out代替。

11. perspective:“看法”;常用搭配为from one s perspective(从某人的角度看,即某人认为)。

12. in summary:“总而言之,概括来说” ;常用的总结词有in summary,to sum up,in conclusion,to draw a conclusion,in a word,in short,in brief等。

3.题目:Income Sources of College Students

审题思路

本题是一道个人观点表达型的题目,表述自己对中美大学生收入来源差异的看法,可以从以下几方面着手:

思路1:可以写导致这种现象出现的原因;

思路2 :可以写这种差异将来会不会发生变化,变化的原因是什么;

思路3 :也可以写这种差异反映了什么样的问题;

思路4 :还可以写通过什么措施来消除这种差异。

范文赏析

Income Sources of College Students

According to the investigation, Chinese students rely much more on their parents for financial support than their American counterparts . As far as I’m concerned, there are many reasons behind the gap and it will change in the future.

引言部分:作者先概述了题目给出的内容,这点很重要,如果只是简单复述,会留下文字驾驭能力不足的印象。接着明确说明下文要写的内容:原因和未来的趋势。

In my opinion, the main reason lies in the sense of independence. American students are taught to be independent when they are very young. For example, they will have to earn their own pocket money by helping with the

house chores or doing part-time jobs since their childhood. On the contrary, Chinese students are taken such good are of that it is very difficult for them to live on eir own. In other words, American parents treat their children in college as responsible adults while Chinese parents will take it for granted that they should help their children in all ways as long as the children need it. As a result, Chinese American peers do. What’s more, Chinese students have fewer opportunities to find part-time jobs.

主体部分:作者重点给出了一个独立性差异的原因,并进而引申说明父母观点的差异导致了孩子独立性的差异,这里除了运用对比以外还通过举例证明自己的观点。除此以外,作者另外说明中国学生找兼职的机会少,这也是造成这一差异的原因。

However, the gap will narrow gradually in the future. Nowadays more and more Chinese students are seeking part-time jobs as they’re eager to acquire some social skills and earn some money, which will help them to do more in school and to live independently. As to the American students, I think the sources of American students’ income will remain the same.

总结部分:这个结尾是属于预测性的,认为这种差异会慢慢缩小,并给出了原因。

亮点回放

1. rely: “依靠”,常用搭配为rely on sb. forsth. ,近义词为depend on sb. for sth.。

2. financial support: “财务支持” ;这里用的是一个比较正式的说法,非正式的说法其实就是money 。

3. counterpart :“对手、职位(地位)相当的人 ”;这是个正式用词,其实就是指American students。

4. behind the gap: “在这差异背后”;实际上在这里这个词组是“解释这个差异”的意思。

5. lie in: “在于”;也可以用consist in来代替。

6. pocket money: “零花钱”;此处也可以用allowance来代替。

7. house chores: “家务活” ;也可以用family chores来代替。

8. in other words: “换句话说” ,在这里其实起到了一个递进的作用。

9. take it for granted: “想当然认为……” ;该词组中的it是形式宾语,词组后面要接that从句,或者直接将宾语放在中间,变成take ... for granted。

10. peer : “同辈” ;此处和上文的counterpart为近义词,本文对同一概念的词使用了不同的表达方式,体现了作者良好的词汇驾驭能力。

11. narrow: “变窄、缩短”常用作形容词,此处作动词用,常用搭配有 “narrow the gap”等。

12. acquire: “获得、获取” ;通常搭配knowledge ,skill ,wealth ,information等。

审题思路

本题是一道观点选择型A/B 的题目,论述在校青少年打工是否适合,本题可以从以下 两方面入手:

思路1:青少年应该打工虽然打工会占用他们的时间,但也可以为他们带来好处:1……2……3……

思路2 :青少年不应该打工虽然打工会有一定的益处,但是弊端更多:1……2……3…… 范文赏析

Work While Study

In many countries it is common for teenagers to take part-time jobs while they are still in high school, while in other societies this is virtually unheard of. n my opinion, students bene?t more from a more balanced lifestyle, which may

include working at a part-time job. Therefore, I believe that it is a good idea for students to work while studying.

引言部分:作者先提出这个争议的话题,并开门见山地亮出自己的观点:青少年打工是有益的。

While it is true that a student’s most important goal must be to learn and to do well at his studies, it does not need to be the only goal. In fact, a life which consists of only study is not balanced and may cause the student to miss out on other valuable learning experiences. In addition to bringing more balance to a student’s life, part-time work can broaden his range of experience. He will have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and will be faced with8 a wider variety of problems to solve. Furthermore, work helps a student to develop greater independence, and earning his own pocket money can teach him how to handle his finances. Finally, a part-time job can help a student to develop a greater sense of responsibility, both for his own work and for that of the team he works with.

主体部分:作者采取了欲扬先抑的做法:先肯定学生的主要任务是学习,然后驳斥那种把学习当作学生惟一目标的观点,并列举了学生打工可以目标的观点,并列举了学生打工可以列举法的配合使用使作者的观点非常有说服力。

For all of these reasons, I ?rmly believe that most students would bene? t from taking a part-time job while they are in high school. Of course, they must be careful not to let it take up too much of their time because study is still their primary responsibility.

总结部分: 作者用for all of these reasons 做承上启下的连接,并再次重申自己的观点:只要不占用太多时间,打工是个益处多多的事情。

亮点回放

1. virtually: “几乎、实际上” ;近义词有nearly ,almost ,practically ,nearly和almost是常用词,virtually和practically更为书面些,同学们在写作时可以尽量使用后两者。

2. unheard of: “没听说过的” ;这里要注意hear of (听说)和hear about (听到)之间的区别。

3. balanced: “平衡的、均衡的、和谐的” ;常用搭配有balanced

diet/life/development 。

4. consist of: “包括” ;近义词有be composed of ,be made up of。

5. miss out on: “错失、错过” ;此处很多同学会误用成miss ,该词的使用能体现出作者对词组的良好把握。

6. broaden : “扩大、变宽” ;常用搭配为broaden the road/experience/vision (拓宽道路、增广见识、开阔视野)。

7. all walks of life: “各行各业”;people from all walks of life表示 “来自各行各业的人”。

8. be faced with: “面对” ;相当于have to face或者be confronted wih。

9. finance: 财源、资产”;该词的使用能体现出作者较大的词汇量。

10. take up : “占去” ;近义词为occupy ,注意这里很多同学会误用成take。

11. primary: “首要的、初级的” ;这里表示首要的,这里的primary responsibility与上段中提到的only goal其实是同一个意思,不过使用不同的表述方式能使文章富有变化。此处的primary也可以用chief,major,sole等替换。

SECTION A COMPOSITION

Are Western Festivals Undermining Chinese Culture?

In recent years, more and more young people have been fascinated to celebrate western festivals, such as Valentine's Day and Christmas. However, many young people don't remember traditional Chinese festivals like Dragon Boat Festival and Festival of Lanterns. Some people, therefore, worry that western festivals are undermining Chinese culture. But in my opinion, this will not happen.

I believe that Chinese culture will be kept well. First, young people like to celebrate western festivals just because these festivals are fresh and interesting to them. When they get used to them, they will lose their interest in them. While the traditional Chinese festivals will be

celebrated no~ matter whether people are interested or not, because it's our own culture. Second, our country has set these traditional Chinese festivals as legal holidays so that people can have several days off from their work. People, especially young ones, like to have holidays on which they don't need to go to school or work. Therefore, they will be counting the days when a traditional Chinese festival is coming and planning how to celebrate the festival.

In one word, western festivals will not undermine Chinese culture, but just add some fun into our daily lives.

审题思路

本题是一道分析利弊/差异型的题目,说明大学生毕业后去当村官有什么好处,可以按以下思路展开:

先对这种现象表示肯定,是一个必然的趋势,然后列举大学生为乡村带去的好处(新概念、新技术等)以及大学生从这种工作中得到的收获(更广阔的发展空间、人生价值的实现等)。 范文赏析

College Graduates Work as Village Of?cials

Today the issue how college graduates should choose their careers has aroused public concern. Some time ago, it was reported that some college graduates

chose to work as village of?cials. To this people’s attitudes differ sharply. Some hold the positive view while others are against it. As far as I am concerned, I believe that it is a wise choice.

引言部分:作者提出这样一个现象:有些大学生毕业后选择当村官,对此人们看法不一,并直接说明自己的观点:这是明智的选择。

On the one hand, college graduates can contribute a lot to the development of the countryside. Firstly they can apply their professional knowledge there. Secondly, they can introduce new concepts to the countryside and speed the development of rural culture. As a result, the gap between the city and the countryside can well be bridged.

On the other hand, these graduates can bene?t a lot from working as village officials. While too many college graduates are ? ghtingfora handful of positions in big cities, these graduates can ?nd themselves a wider stage of development and realize their value.

主体部分:这部分分两段从两个方面分析。先说明大学生对乡村的发展有贡献(采用总分总的结构),然后说明大学生当村官也能为自己找到更广阔的发展平台(采用对比的手法)。不同的手法使文章富有变化,不单一。

Therefore, collegegraduates working as village of?cials is a win-win choice and more graduates should be encouraged to work in the countryside.

总结部分:作者用 therefore自然地带出结论:这是个双赢的选,应受到鼓励。这与首段观点呼应。

亮点回放

1. arouse public concern: “引起公众的关注” ;此句也可以写成People are concerned about how college graduates should choose their careers. 不过本文的写法更为正式些,另外public也可以用popular替换。

2. differ sharply : “有很大/ 明显的区别 ” ;此句同学们通常写成:different people may have/hold different attitudes/opinion about this相比之下,本文的写法更简洁正式些。

3. wise: “智慧的、明智的” ,常见搭配为a wise choice。

4. contribute a lot to: “非常有助于……/对 ……有很大帮助”;近义词可以用help a lot或者be a great help to。

5. apply: 此处表示 “应用、使用” ,比简单地使用use更能体现出作者对词汇的灵活把握。

6. introduce: 常用作介绍,此处表示引进新的概念。

7. gap: “裂缝、缺口、差距”;常用于 “代沟、城乡差距、贫富差距 (generation gap ,the gap between the city and the countryside ,the gap between the poor and the rich )”等词组中。

8. bridge: 常用作名词,此处作动词用,表示 “缩短……之间的差距” ,非常形象生动。

9. fight for: “为……奋斗、争斗” ,此处近义词为compete for 。

10. a handful of: “少量的” ;比简单地使用a few要来得形象生动。

11. win-win: “双赢的” ,常用的搭配为a win-win situation/choice。

My View on Reducing Carbon Emission

Billion tons of carbon dioxide is let off into the air each year, which in part cause global warming and climate changes. Life on this planet will be gravely affected unless we take measures to reduce carbon emission. To achieve this aim, I think the entire society should form the concept of energy-saving and do what we can in our daily life.

First, replace the traditional electric bulbs with the energy-saving ones. By saving energy this way, we can reduce a lot of Carbon emission. Second, choose public transportation instead of driving your own car. We can imagine that the fewer cars on the road, the less carbon dioxide will be emitted into the air. Third, when you are shopping, select the goods with simple package. If we select the goods with simple package, we will produce less garbage and thus reduce carbon emission resulting from burning the garbage. And don't forget to use recyclable bags instead of plastic ones when shopping.

Therefore, reducing carbon emission in our daily life is very easy. As long as we all make efforts to do that every day, we can help to reduce billion tons of carbon emission every year.
