Reading Selectively or Extensively

With people's living standard rising sharply, reading is playing an increasingly

important role in our daily life. At the same time, reading selectively or extensively has become a hot topic and heated debates are right on their way.

people，这里就可以直接用some,避免重复） suggest that people should read selectively, especially classic books. There is an old saying:" A good book is a good friend. (这句引用的好！)" It's （experience这里不生动）. However, it's correct in many cases even today. A good book can make a difference. Besides, a bad book can bow the heart and turn the spirit back to dust.

On the contrary, there are some people in favor of reading extensively, from novel to essay(优秀的文章一定是言之有物，这样会更具体). They say that only in this way can （好！把课上的东西用上了。）. 书写错误一定要避免)exception. It also has advantages and disadvantages. As far as I'm concerned, reading selectively is advantageous and is helpful to strengthening their language skills and cognitive abilities. (前面一句话是短句，这句就应该用个并列句或复合句调剂一下，这样才有节奏). A good book can make us receive power,beauty,cheer,hope and courage （这个排比不错，但后面from men 从何而来呀？）（注意前面已经出现了good book,这里用个代词替换）can bring large quantities of harms to our life.（这个句子很地道） In a word, only by reading selectively can we benefit a lot from reading books!

写得不错！看得出很用心，句子也很考究，很多都有出处。坚持写下去，前提是必须要找到优秀的范文进行模仿练习，而不是主观创造。希望你能一直坚持下去。四六级的我就不多说了，给你发过去托福作文185篇文章，好好研究，吸取好的东西。希望对你有用。分数就不打了，现在还不到谈论分数的时候。像这样坚持几个月到时候给你的就是满分。 另外，如果有新的资料请发到这里来吧~谢了

 

第二篇：四级强化【作文范例及重点短语】

20xx年12月英语四级作文话题预测范文：食品污染

Food Contamination

From time immemorial, food contamination has become a common phenomenon in China, ranging from poisonous milk power to the plasticizers in huge quantities of Taiwan-manufactured beverages and food exported to the mainland. The public has experienced so many crises of food contamination that only the most deadly cases would create some sensations, which soon pass into oblivion with the quick occurrence of new ones.

Food contamination is indisputably detrimental. The poisonous milk power has bereaved many young couples of their innocent and lovely new babes. Some contaminated foods lead to irreversible and chronic diseases. Some affected individuals, though without visible aftermaths, may suffer from lingering psychological trauma. However, the hazards produced by food contamination are more

moral than physiological—with contamination cases cropping up here and there, the credibility of the entire society has been ruined and people find nothing and nobody to be trustworthy.

Technically, food contamination is caused by the introduction of illegal additives and non-edible chemical substances into the manufactured food.

Morally, it results from the sheer drive for profitability by gluttonous merchants who use cheaper, and often harmful, substitutes, all at the expense of the physical welfare of the public. To address the problem, some appeal to the moral conscience of the businessmen. But the high frequency at which contamination cases have happened makes this moral appeal feeble ultimate solution lies in law—the profit-minded businessmen would not have penitent heart unless they are driven to bankruptcy and taken into jail!

More Communication in English Class

As a language, English is essentially a vehicle for communication. Communication as a function has become so important in English teaching methodology that a dist that a distinctive school of English teaching has been created—the Communicative Approach. This fully testifies to the growing importance of communication in English learning and acquisition.

Unfortunately, in Chinese universities, English classes, like many other classes, are primarily teacher-dominated. For a long time, both students and instructors have seemed contented with discussing grammar and understanding passages through reading, overlooking the oral

communication which is much more essential. However, communication is a bridge leading to closer student-teacher interaction. Students should overcome their diffidence and nervousness ensuing from their grammatical deficiencies. They should simply become more concerned with expressing themselves

than seeking grammatical accuracy. As they become more outspoken and expressive, they would automaticallybecome more grammatically competent.

The emphasis on communication in English classes will result in many obvious advantages. English will become an instrument of expressing thoughts for the person who speaks it, instead of a tool just for reading about the thoughts of others.

In addition, teachers can have positive and timely feedback from students through

communication. Finally, by honing their communicative skills, Chinese students will become more competent in interact in interacting with their international counterparts in this ageof globalization. I believe those factors are what English learning is all about for Chinese students.

As is shown in the table above, dramatic changes have taken place infamily expenses in the City of Shanghai within two decades (from 1980 to 2000 ）

The most obvious change is in expense on food and clothing, which has dropped by 48%, while those on recreation, education and health care have increased respectively by 5%, l6% and l0%. Expenses on other things keep rising from 17% to 35%.The statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but are in fact closely related to one another. The most likely factors accounting for these

4

changes are as follows:

Development in economy is the fundamental one. The increased income results in the lowering percentage of food and clothing. That is to say, a small percentage of the total income is enou5h to cover food and clothing expenses.

Another factor lies in the development of people’s concept. When people are well fed and well dressed, they begin to interest themselves in recreation and education.

These changes should also be attributed to social reforms. In the 1990’s, college education was not totally free as it was before, which also accounts for the rising expenses on education. Soon after, the government gradually stopped offering houses to its citizens without charges.

People had to save a large proportion of their money for housing. That’s partly why the expenses for “others” doubled.

As for the more expenses on health care, I figure there are two main

reasons : the cancellation of freemedical care and people’s awareness of the importance of health. The changes reflect the development of the city and indicate that people are enjoying more.

给《**周刊》宇航专栏的编辑写一封信，说明你对太空探索项目的态度(支持或反对)，并简单陈述你的理由。

Dear Editor，

Thank you for your starting a special column jor the discussion on space projects. Frankly, it seems to me that our space projects so far have been in the main a waste of money, time, energy, human lives and resources.

The richer countries are pouring large sums of money into space research programs which are of no benefit to human beings while in underdeveloped countries thousands of people are dying of hunger. Besides, many scientists’ time and energy are wasted, which could have been devoted to improving our living condition. What’s more, many astronauts have died complete1y uselessly in space vehicles 5

which have been faulty. They were young people who hadn’t enjoyed the fruit of life yet.

Apart from human

wastage, there is the wastage of resources which are finite and essential if man is to survive. I think it’s high time we stopped these meaningless programs.
