Is Failure a Bad Thing

Different people hold different attitudes toward failure. Someone regards failure as a heavy strike, after which he or she may lose heart and give up all efforts. Others could never take failure seriously. They just ignore it as if nothing had happened. In my opinion, both attitudes are wrong.( 引出论点)

First of all, people who regard failure as a heavy blow can hardly become successful.(提出第一分论点，指出那些视失败为大敌的人很难成功)Those people are more likely to give up all efforts once encountering difficulties. In other words, they will give up all hopes and endeavors to pursue success and will in turn be abandoned by it. Success means a continuous effort and a growing confidence in one’s belief. Just as the old saying goes, “God will help those who help themselves”. So if a person treats failure in a positive attitude, he will conquer these difficulties. Secondly, those who are light-hearted with failure can hardly become successful either, because they don’t know how to accumulate experiences from their failure. (提出第二分论点， 指出那些忽视失败的

人也很难成功，因为他们不懂得从失败中吸取经验教训)If they choose to ignore a failure instead of thinking about it carefully, they would not be able to find out what is really wrong. Under such circumstances, failure will ultimately result in another failure. A right attitude to failure is to face it positively, draw a lesson from it and then find out reasonable solutions to solve the problem in order to avoid the same mistake again. (提出第三分论点，指出对待失败的正确态度是积极面对失败，并从中吸取教训，以避免重蹈覆辙) In this way, one could always be energetic and be nearer to success.

From the above analysis, we can conclude that failure is a test to human. It’s a stumbling block for the timid, but a steppingstone for the brave. We should, therefore, take a right attitude towards failure.(总体概括并强调论点)

第二章 问题解决型作文专项训练

第一节 写作要领

问题解决型要求考生就某种社会现象或某种问题提出自己的解决方案，立意在“方法”、“途径”、“怎么办”等，主要遵循提出问题----分析原因----提出解决办法的模式

这类的作文用于专四考题中，往往以How to…的形式出现，或者One Way to…或者The Best Way to…的形式出现。有些却隐含在标题中，如My Idea of a Successful Interview 隐含“怎样使面试获得成功”这一命题，20xx年的真题My Idea of a University Arts Festival 实际上可理解为How to Organize a University Arts Festival If I’m in Charge.

历年真题有

2005-----My Idea of a University Arts Festival 2002----The Best Way to Stay Healthy

1998----One Way to Solve the Problem

这类命题的统一提纲模式是：

第一段：引言。 对现状、形势或困难的描述，提出问题。

第二段：原因、途径与方法。列举做某事的途径或问题解决的种种方法。

第三段：评价或选择。对第二段中提及的途径进行简要评价，或选取其中一两种自己认为合适的方法、途径，并简要阐述其依据。

范文一

Directions: Beijing has enacted a new citywide public smoking ban since May 1,2008. The new regulation extends the smoking ban to more public venues and indoor areas in medical facilities, elementary, secondary and primary schools, museums, business halls, public transportation, cultural heritage sites, and sports venues and fitness centers. What do you think is the best way to fight with smoking?

Nowadays, public smoking has become a matter of concern. Many passersby are reluctant to inhale the smoke from the smokers around them. The governments have tried many ways to ban smoking in public, but the result is not satisfying. A new citywide smoking ban has been released recently in Beijing. It is said that people could not smoke at public places like sports venues,

medical facilities, schools, cultural heritages sites and etc. I fully agree with this regulation because I think it is the most effective way to fight against smoking now in China.

The benefits for my idea can be generalized to two major ones. First of all, banning smoking in public protects the health of nonsmokers. As everyone knows, smoking is harmful to one’s health. It causes many diseases such as lung cancer. Smokers, of course, should take the full responsibility for their voluntary choice. However, it is not fair for nonsmokers when they have to bear the smell of smoke and later the diseases caused by others’ smoking. Another benefit is that it deters kids from becoming smokers. These regulations are basically sending a message that smoking in public places is no longer socially acceptable, and it decreases the appeal of smoking to adolescents. Kids’ perceptions of how many people are smoking are a major factor for them to decide whether they’ll smoke.

In my view, the smoking ban will be the best method to reduce smoking.

便条写作

写作要领

便条是一种简便的非正式的信函，主要作用是传递消息、发布通知、提出邀请、表达感谢、征询意见等。鉴于便条的评分标准有格式、内容、语言以及语言得体性四个方面。

第一 格式固定

四个部分：第一是日期；第二是称谓；第三是便条主题；第四是署名，缺一不可。

常见问题忘记写日期、导致不必要的失分。 第二 信息明确

从内容上来讲，便条内容要明确，例如邀请类便条的时间、地点和事由必须很明确、不写或漏写都会导致失分。

第三 语言通俗

语言一般通俗易懂，接近口语，所以要避免过于书面化的语言。例如 We are greatly honored to write to you. Having been living on the campus for a whole year, we have happily witnessed the great changes here.中，用了非谓语动词作为时间状语的复杂结构Having been living on the campus for a whole year， 这是正式的语言结构，但是对便条不需那么正式。

第四 内容得体 从语言得体性上来讲，便条的语言

要区分对象，使用不同的礼貌语言。

写便条的目的是利用简洁的非正规的书面语解决实际生活中的问题，如拒绝、感谢等。因此，考生面对便条写作，必须仔细审题，明确考题要求，即能够回答这样的问题----我是谁，便条的收件人是谁，我希望收件人看了便条后了解什么，去做什么，怎样去做？

便条主要考的是“特定的格式，特定的句式，特定的内容”。特定的格式和特定的句式基本上是“约定俗成”的，写生必须“了然于胸”。至于特定的内容，便条写作中的提示是至关重要的。提示限定了便条写作的内容和对象，增加或遗漏内容都导致失分，因此，认真阅读提示并按提示要求来写便条是高分的最基本前提。

第一邀请类

邀请类便条内容包括宴会、舞会、晚餐、聚会、婚礼等，形式上分为正式和非正式。一般在专四考试中为一般的形式，书写时有以下要求：

1、 时间、地点和场合一定要清楚，不能让对方有疑问。时间一定要写明年月日并精确到时刻，以保证被邀请者能够安排好时间。场合也一定要写清楚。

2、 语言要注意礼貌用语，以表尊敬。如写给同辈，

用语可相对轻松，如写给长辈或上级，用语则要正式、礼貌。

内容包括：

1、 诚挚邀请对方参加某一活动。

2、 概括介绍活动的内容和安排。

3、 再次表示诚意。

注意事项：

1、 在纸张的右上方注明日期。

2、 另起一行，在最左边写称呼。根据两者之间的关系，写着合适的称呼。

3、 下一行空两格写主体，要注明什么时间在哪里有什么事情发生，然后询问被邀请者能否参加。

4、 最后在右下方署名。

邀请类便条的四步：

1. 告知 There will be…We have held… I want to tell you that….

2. 解释 in the Beijing Grand Theater tomorrow evening

3. 询问 If you are interested in it

4. 确认 Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming or not.
