The Meaning and Purpose of Life
Everyone may encounter a scene when he or she wonders what the meaning and purpose of life is. Answers to this question vary from person to person. As for me, I agree with the view that the meaning of life is to discover your gift and the purpose of life is to make the best of it.
On one hand, one's gift could be the source of his inner happiness, providing spiritual impetus and correct orientation. Take the world-renowned Chinese pianist Lang Lang as an example. His gift was noticed before he was 3 years old, which laid the foundation of his glorious life. On the other hand, proper use of talent helps people to realize their value in a positive way, thus making contribution to the society as a whole. For instance, Isaac Newton made a universally amazing discovery by digging into his gift and finding the Newton's law of gravitation.
In conclusion, let's search for our true gift and utilize it to the fullest to achieve a happy and valuable life.

Advantage and Disadvantages of Being an Only Child
参考范文：
My father used to talk to me about his five siblings. He used to say that I was unfortunate that I had none. And I used to envy him and wonder how nice it would be to have a houseful of brothers and sisters. I also used to wonder what would happen to me if I were to lose my parents. Frankly speaking, I do not have to share anything with anybody. I own all my parents' love. I can ask for anything I want. I always wear new clothes and eat the best food. Since my parents spend all their money on me, I can study at the best university of the country.
Lucky as I am, I now and then feel very lonely and I have nobody to complain about my loneliness. How I long for a quarrel with my brothers and sisters! Of course I have classmates and friends, but they are different. Sometimes I feel so pessimistic that after my parents leave the world, I will have no blood relatives left to share with me the fond memories of my parents. Furthermore, I am likely to become selfish while I realize the world is for sharing.
So, I am happy but lonely; I am fortunate but piteous; I am loved but spoiled; I am well-bred but selfish, because I am the only child of the family.

A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors.Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education. Many parents, for various reasons, missed the chance of obtaining a good education. When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless. Private tutoring is the only solution. As private tutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil clearly.
However, private tutoring has its own disadvantages. For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupils' time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment, which are essential for their physical and mental health. For another, some teachers, busy “shuttling” from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties. What's more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well in the test, offering the so-called tips for test-taking rather than help them acquire what is more meaningful.
Generally speaking, its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of pupils' potentials. Only in this way can a new generation be healthily brought up.

The Story of My Life by Helen Keller is the mostinfluential book in my life. It abounds with courage,struggle and faith throughout.Helen Keller wasonce in deep despair in her childhood, but finally shedecided to overcome her physical defects and livehappily. Furthermore, she showed great patience inher long and hard learning period.
I have learned, above all, three lessons from her story.First, she taught me that often theroad to success is to face hardships bravely. Maybe you are born under an ill star yet you canstand a better chance than others. It is therefore important that you screw up your couragewhen courage is needed. Second, the impairment of part of her senses did not prevent herfrom learning: on the contrary, she had made continual efforts to go deeper into the realm ofknowledge, and her perseverance had thus helped her overcome many handicaps. Third, sheadvised that we should make the most of our sense organs as if we would lose them soonbecause this way we would observe the world more carefully than ever before.
The book is inspiring in that it is one brimming over with the unbending will of a gallantwoman beset with seemingly insurmountable difficulties.I hope I can be as courageous asshe.
Science and Human Life
Science and technology have been bringing human beings tremendous benefits. Thanks to science and technology, we now live comfortably and conveniently in houses furnished with air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and televisions etc. Thanks to science and technology, we can eat fresh vegetables att the year round. thanks to science and technology, we can travel tong distances in the fraction of a second on planes, trains and cars. thanks to science and technology, we wear clothes with synthetic materials which can not easily be worn out.

So it's urgent that we find ways to solve these problems. But we should not stop the development of science and technology because of these disasters they bring, just as we should not give up eating for fear of choking. In addition, we should make some rules to regulate our actions. As long as we use science and technology in a proper way, they may bring us even more benefits.

Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Young People Should Have Ideals.
1.人，尤其是年轻人应该有理想。
2.理想对于一个人的意义。
3.我们应该如何实现自己的理想。
【作文范文】
"What are you going to do when you grow up?"When I was a child, people often asked me this question about ideal. Undoubtedly, every individual, especially a young person, should have an ideal. Hardly can we find any great people with no ideals when they were young.
An ideal is of vital importance to one's growth and success. On the one hand, an ideal is the target of one's life. Once you decide what your ideal is, you know where to go and which way to take. On the other hand, an ideal is like an engine of vehicles. Only when we have our own ideals, can we find the origin energy and enthusiasm.
Whatever your ideal is, careful plan and preparation is vital to its final realization. Of course, the path from where you are to where you want to get is not always smooth and straight. Therefore, an optimistic, positive mind is indispensable in the process of your pursuing your ideal.
As a college student, I want to make money to earn my living, because I am not the small kid any longer, I can work now. But I am a student, it is not possible for me to work all the time, so I can have a part-time job. Part-time job has advantage and disadvantage for me.
作为一名大学生，我想要挣钱养活自己，因为我不再是一个小孩子，我现在可以工作了。但是我是一名学生，不可能全职工作，因此我可以做兼职。兼职对于我来说有利和弊。
On the one hand, if I find a part-time job, I can make some money, so I can keep my ends meet and relieve my parents' burden. My parents have paid for all my things, such as my education, my clothing and so on, all these things are great burden. So I find the part-time job to make my living, though not so much, for me, it is satisfying.
一方面，如果我找到了兼职，我可以挣钱，因此可以收支平衡，减轻父母的负担。我的父母已经支付了我所有的东西，比如我的教育，我的衣服等等，所有的这些东西都是很大的负担。所以我做兼职来谋生，虽然收入不多，但是对于我来说，很满足了。
While on the other hand, I have to make out my study time to do the part-time job. As a student, my first job is to study, I must study hard, my parents have paid a lot on my education. The part-time job will certainly distract me at some level, I need to spare some time to do it.
然而另一方面，我不得不挤出一点时间去做兼职。作为一名学生，我的第一要务是学习，我必须努力学习，我父母已经为我的教育付出了很多。兼职当然会在一定程度上分散我的注意力，我需要花一些时间去做。
不比父辈们坚守在岗位上一呆就是几十年，现在的年轻人们热衷“跳槽”。小编之前看不太惯跳槽，但当进入社会之后，发现每个人跳槽是有原因的，可能因为工资，可能因为环境，可能因为单纯的喜好，只要不要太过频繁，还是可以接受的。

My View on Job-Hopping
参考范文：
Job-hopping, or frequent change of jobs, is becoming increasingly common in China today. As the economy grows, more opportunities for employment are appearing than before. The result is that people, especially young people, are tempted to change jobs frequently, seeking higher salaries or more interesting positions.
Nevertheless, many people prefer to stay in their old jobs. This is partly because they feel loyal to their work units, and partly because they dislike the idea of having to spend much time training for a new job. In addition, although a new job may offer higher pay or more opportunities for promotion, it may be located far from home and be inconvenient to reach.
I think it is a good thing for the workforce to be flexible, so that new demands for personnel can besatisfied quickly. However, if a person changes jobs too often, he or she will cause losses to the employing units. Moreover, frequent job-hopping prevents a person from gaining valuable job experience and developing good work habits.
Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled To Become a Specialist or a Generalist?
1.有人认为一个学生应该努力成为一个“专才”。
2.然而其他人则认为学生应该成为“通才”才能在社会上立足。
3.你的看法是......
【作文范文】
When it comes to whether a studentshould become a specialist or a generalist, there is no complete agreement among people. Some people think that it is best for college students to focuson developing skills in one field to become a specialist. However, others maintain that a versatile generalist is more welcomed in the competitive jobmarket.
Those people who hold the former opinion believe that it is impossible to demand college students to become an all-round generalist within four years. In addition, with increasing elaboration ofsocial division, the specialists are in more urgent need. However, still others advocate the different opinion. They hold that college students should stretch themselves to as many fields as possible to adapt to the increasingly fierce competition. Besides, generalists are highly demanded in the information age.
Personally, I am in favor of the former opinion. I don't think it is advisable that college students equally spend their time and energy on several fields. Besides, the development of high-techneeds specialists. Therefore, I think to be a specialist is the right choicefor most students.
1. 中国目前的高校依然以必修课为主，学生必须修完所指定的科目，也有少量选修课程。
2. 是否应让大学生根据自己的兴趣爱好来自行选择大学中的学习课程。
3. 你的看法。
Should the College Students Choose the Subject by Themselves
Most courses in universities and colleges today are compulsory, however, there are a few courses that are optional. Despite its small percentage, optional courses have given rise to the question whether college students should choose their courses at their own wills.
As far as I am concerned, I think college students should be encouraged to choose courses they are interested in. As the saying goes, "Interest is the best teacher". Students will certainly study more efficiently the subjects they willingly choose than the ones they are forced to choose. What's more, because the subjects they choose are no longer a burden, they may become more active in the study concerned.
So I incline to say that colleges and universities should set up more optional courses for students to choose.
2013年12月英语四级作文经典范文之网络
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Internet. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、互联网使用的现状，
2、大学生是否应该使用互联网，人们的看法不同，
3、我的看法。
In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet. As is known to all, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work's needs.
On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life. As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.
Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. After all，Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.
