范文:

Should Food Be Banned on the Subway?

Currently, some cities are considering a food banon subways, which has sparked heated discussion. Some people say food should be banned because of the trash and rats they attract. And, garbage fromdiscarded food can cause track fires. Beyond sanitary and mechanical concerns, food can also cause fights, as was discovered last week byone passenger who criticized a woman eating steamed stuffed bun on the subway.

However, some others are opposed to the idea. They argue that people like eating in the train in the morning because they don't have enough time to eat at their houses or restaurants. Sometimes that may be the only time or meal a transit rider may be able to eat especially when traveling long distances. Besides, there are people, for example diabetics, whodo require food at various times to maintain blood-sugar levels.

Personally, I'm against the ban because of the huge inconvenience it would cause tocommuters, and the expense involved in enforcing it. Still, I believe we should have a littlecommon courtesy. I think we all have responsibility to try to treat our subway system andfellow riders with respect, and that extends to food as well.


英语四级作文:电子书会取代传统书籍的地位?

在当今这个 “速食时代”,人们快速消费,终日与网为生。KFC,麦当劳代替了传统的一日三餐。很多人已经厌倦了手捧一本书细细品读的踏实感,随着电子书的普及,更多人养成了浅尝辄止的浅阅读习惯。这样下去,我们曾经存在了几千年的书籍真的要被电子书取代吗?

作文题目:

Will E-books Replace Traditional Books?

参考范文:

There is no denying the fact that e-books have gained increasing popularity in the past years along with the development of information technology. Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list. Actually, modern readers seem to spend more time on e-books than on traditional ones.

As a consequence, it has emerged as a hotly debated topic whether e-books will take the place of traditional books in the future. Some hold the positive view. They claim that it is natural for books to be come electronic as mankind steps into a digital age. Compared with traditional books, e-books have some obvious advantages. For one thing, it is convenient to read on line as modern people have easy access to the Internet. For another, reading e-books saves money.

Personally, I believe that e-books cannot replace all traditional books. First, you can mark a traditional book and write your comments in the margin but you can hardly do that on e-books. Secondly, to many people, only the smell of print and the feel of paper can provide the true sense of reading and learning. Therefore, in my opinion, traditional books will still exist in the future.

2. 支教活动的意义。

3. 我的看法。

Aid Education in China

Each year, college students, encouraged to aid students in the poverty-stricken areas, volunteer themselves in poor villages for a year and try to improve education in poor areas.

Aid-education has been beneficial in two aspects. On the one hand, college volunteers are really devoted to the cause. They have opened the eyes of students in underdeveloped regions to the outside world by bringing them new knowledge and thoughts. As a result, they are extremely well-received by the children there. On the other hand, college students have received a rigorous training by adapting to the harsh living conditions. They are enjoying the appreciation and no-distance friendship from the children. What’s more, they are greatly inspired by the moving and tireless spirit of the children.

In my opinion, China’s educational development can’t be isolated from each individual and we college students should take the lead in response to the appeal for offering aid to children in poor areas.

第3篇(范文)

Dear victims,

A week ago, I was shocked at the news about the earthquake in Yushu. And I’m very sorry to hear that this earthquake was the greatest disaster after 1949. And there are 40075 people who are found dead in the disaster till now and there have been more than 500 million people who are homeless. The floor was ripped through, many blocks and houses were seriously damaged, and even were as flat as a pancake.

I’m deeply moved by the volunteers and the international rescue teams who are in the frontline. I, standing for my school, comfort your victims and survivors with our warm heart. Moreover, we contribute a

大学生英文演讲稿:从跌倒的地方站起来

Let’s stand up from where we fall down

All the celebrations welcoming the new century were hold in the year 2007, because life without a greeting is like the sky without the sun.Greetings are very important for the whole world,in my opinion.

But I don't know whether greetings are enough for us.Especially when we meet with failures .I remember quite clearly that when I was a child,if I fall down and was on the brink of crying,my father always told me"Please stand up from where you fall down!"

Yes,we must stand up from where we fall down.

That was a special mid night in 1993.Expectations filled our hearts.

We stared at the TV,hoping excitedly as the voice would fly to our ears.

But at last,each Chinese who loves our motherland was distressed to know the result:Beijing ,lost to Sydeny by a margin of two votes in the Olympic hosting competition.

Eight years have past,but the frustration has not healed with time at all.

Now,at the begining of the new millennium,all of the pride and disappointment of the 20th century had gone with the wind. The 21st century,which is full of hope,longing znd thought has come. Someone said,we would start from zero on.

Should I really start from zero on?

No!I hold that we should go on with our efferts and ambitions stayed by last century,and make our life better.

"New Beijing,Great Olympics!" The voice cries this out around China's captital,a 3,000 -year-old city these days.

Beijing,along with Paris,Istanbul,Osake and Toronto,has been shortlisted by the International Olympic Committee as an official candidate city for the 2008 Olympic Games.

This is Beijing's second attempt to host the games.

Everyone fully supports Beijing's bid for it.

Maybe,we can paint fences along the main roads of Beijing.

Maybe,we can make much of yhe city cleaned up.

Maybe,we can learn and speak basic English idioms and expressions for daily communication.

But,but are they just enough?

Facing the new century,mankind is driven by the revolution of science and technoiogy,world economy is undergoing broud and profound changes. But nobody can deny the fact that compared with developed nations,developing countries are confronted with more pressure and challenges.In order to become famous in the world,we must speed up our international economic restructuring to catch up with industrialized nations.

Supporting Beijing's bid is a systematic project that can support China'sdevelopment efforts.

I believe recycled paper,clean fuel,sorted rubbish,water-saving and enery-efficient facilities will become reality in the coming years for China.

I believe the new century is an era of learning ans teaching,and lifelong education has become one of the main trends in the future developmet of Chinese society.

I believe that,on July 13,our dream of Beijing's Olympic bid will become true.

Because to millions of Chinese,for China to have the gloal respect and support that she deserves is not just a dream.

It is a part of our very souls.For we are not only equal members of our motherland, China,but we are also equal contributors to the world as a whole. Let us stand together,all nations in Beijing,in brotherhood,friendship and peace, in 2008 and forever!


英语四级写作预测范文:电子词典的优缺点

预测作文话题:

Advantages and Disadvantages of ElectronicDictionary

1. 电子辞典的优点

2. 电子辞典的缺点

3. 我的结论

作文范文:

The discussion about electronic dictionaries hasnever stopped in the past few years. Let's have alook at its advantages and disadvantages beforedrawing the final conclusion.

The biggest advantage of an electronic dictionary is its convenience. Whenever you meetnew words or expressions, you can know the meaning quickly. What's more, with thedevelopment of science and technology, electronic dictionaries are becoming more and moreadvanced: they can pronounce the words clearly, provide sample sentences to illustrate wordusage and store difficult words for special memorization. Last but by no means the least,electronic dictionaries are becoming cheaper and cheaper, and more and more students canafford them.

However, the negative effects are also obvious. To begin with, some students rely toomuch on the electronic dictionary—they never put their heart into learning new words andexpressions. In the second place, some explanations are neither complete nor accurate, whichare quite misleading. Finally, new technical inventions do not necessarily lead to progress inlearning. Diligence is always the decisive factor, because "there is no royal road to learning".

Up until now, we can see it clearly that an electronic dictionary is not beneficial or harmfulin itself. The key lies in the user—so long as we can make proper use of it, it can be mosthelpful to us in many respects.

点评:

首段提出一个长时间争论的话题;第二段中指出该事物的优点;第三段阐述缺点;第四段首句下结论,表明此事物本身无对错,第二句指出关键在于使用者,即如果合理使用,就会从中受益。

范文首段指出,有关电子辞典的讨论从来没有停止过;第二段阐述优点,即电子辞典便于查询,而且随着技术的发展,电子辞典功能也越来越多,另外价钱也越来越低;第三段提出缺点,电子辞典让学生产生依赖心理,而且有些解释不准确,另外技术的进步不一定带来学习上的进步;最后一段总结,电子辞典本身无对错,关键在于正确使用以便为我们服务。

第二段第三句中的illustrate表示“用图或例子来说明”;第三点中的afford表示“买得起”。第三段第一点中的rely too much on表示“过分依赖”;put one's heart into doing sth.表示“专心致志于某事”;第二点中的accurate表示“精确的”,misleading表示“使人误解的”;第三点第二句中的decisive factor表示“决定因素”。


英语四级作文预测:电视相亲

话题:

On Blind-date Show

1. 目前电视相亲节目很流行

2. 出现这种现象的原因是……

3. 我对此的看法

范文:

On Blind-date Show

Nowadays, the blind-date shows are becoming more and more popular. Whenever we turn on TV, those incredible scenes of blind-date shows would pop up on the screen. Many people, from teenagers to the eldly, are so crazy about these shows that they never miss a single chance to watch them.

Three reasons would contribute to the popularity of these blind-date shows. To begin with, there are over 180 million people who remain single long after they have reached official age for marriage. Moreover, a great number of people would like to amuse themselves by watching other people dating. Last but not least, more and more television producers add a couple of attractive elements to cater for the different tastes of the audiences.

In my view, the government should impose restrictions to these blind-date shows. Many of these shows advocate money-worship and materialism; quite a few of the guests' identities are artificial. If these problems are not solved, the misleading effects can bedisastrous.


英语四级作文预测14:电影和电视对公众的影响力

主题:电影和电视对公众的影响力

【题目】

How do movies or television influence people’s behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.

【范文】 The Influence of Television and Movies

There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored.

One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see on TV or in the movies.

With the ever-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experience.
