在四六级作文中，谋篇布局是非常关键的一步，合理的谋篇布局可以让文章结构清晰、逻辑严密、思路连贯，从而使作文更加具有说服力和可读性。以下是几种常用的谋篇布局方法：
1. 总分式布局：将文章分为总论和分论两部分，总论部分阐述主题或中心思想，分论部分展开论述，并给出事实和情况进行展开。
2. 对比式布局：将文章分为两个相对矛盾的观点或事物，分别进行对比，并论证出自己的看法和观点。
3. 时间回溯式布局：通过时间线的展示，对历史事件或现象进行深入剖析和分析，展现事件发展的来龙去脉以及相关因素的影响。
4. 问题解决式布局：先找出一个问题，然后进行分析和探讨，最后给出解决方案和建议。
5. 因果分析式布局：找出事物或现象的原因和结果，分析其内在联系和影响，并提出改进或解决方案。
6. 例证论证式布局：通过案例或事实的说明，论证自己的观点和看法，并表达个人的见解和思考。

标题：City Life and Suburban Life
提纲：
1) 最近几年越来越多的人迁往近郊居住
2) 城市生活和近郊生活各有特点
3) 比较起来，我喜欢的是……
In recent years more and more homes are being pushed outwards as the activities of business, government and pleasure tend to be concentrated in the centers of the cities. Although most people are reluctant to move to the outskirts of the cities, I feel like living in the suburbs.
It is true that the city can provide much convenience and entertainment, the very reason why people can't bear to part with city life. But the cost for the privilege of living in the city is also high. What's more, there is more gas and noise pollution in the city, which is full of petrol fumes and toxic gases, torn by the roar of buses and taxies, and thronged ceaselessly by great crowds. In contrast, living near the countryside one can enjoy the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the quiet, peaceful surroundings —— the essentials of a healthy life. Although living in the suburbs one may suffer a little discomfort brought about by the necessity of traveling miles to work every day, it means nearly nothing when thinking of the high cost and heavily polluted environment of the city.
The new suburban life is fast becoming a predominant pattern of living in most cities; and with the improvement of traffic and the perfection of services, it will prove to hold great superiority over city life.

标题： My View on College Students' Part-time Jobs
提纲：
1)有人认为大学生做兼职工作很有好处;
2)然而，有人认为大学生做兼职工作弊多利少;
3)我的看法
Nowadays, an increasing number of college students are doing part-time jobs. People hold different opinions on that.
Some people think that there are many advantages for college students to have part-time jobs. Firstly, part-time jobs offer them opportunities to apply what they have learned in school and demonstrate their abilities.
Secondly, it enables them to be more independent of their family and builds up their self-confidence. Thirdly, part-time experiences may be of great help to their future careers. Finally, part-time jobs can broaden their college lives and help them know more of themselves and society.
However, some other people hold that doing part-time jobs has more disadvantages. The main job of college students is to study, not to work. If they have part-time jobs, they may have to reduce their time for sleep, rest, study and activities. Working several hours a day consumes a lot of time and energy and may affect their studies. As a result, they may find it hard to adjust to what the college expects of them as well as their employers expect, and finally, they may fall behind or fail in their studies.
In my opinion, students can choose to take up a part-time job according to their own situation. The most important thing for them is to keep a good balance between part-time jobs and his study.

标题：How to Achieve Success
提纲：
1)有人说成功主要靠运气;
2)有人则认为成功主要靠勤奋，与运气毫无关系;
3)我的观点
Some people say the key to success is the luck, while others claim it is hard work. As far as I am concerned, there are many factors contributing to success and the three fundamental ones are diligence, devotion and perseverance.
Diligence is the first key factor to success. Diligence helps us remove ignorance, overcome difficulties, and enlighten our minds. It makes a fool wise, and a poor man rich. Devotion is another factor to success. Whatever we do, we must love it and do it whole-heartedly. Only when we set our minds on the job, can we do it well. Furthermore, perseverance, or a strong will, is the last key to success. Without a strong will, we are likely to give up when we meet some difficulties, let alone perform wonderful deeds.
To conclude, all great men achieve success through diligence, devotion and perseverance. Just as the famous saying goes, 'No pains, no gains', 'Where there is a will, there is a way.'

标题：On Housing Reform
提示：
1)旧房屋政策的弊端;
2)房改带来的好处;
3)我怎么办?
The old house-allotting policy had at least two disadvantages. First, the government spent a lot of money building some houses, but these houses were allotted to people free of charge. Thus, the government would have no money to build more houses for people who badly needed them. Second, the persons who were in power could get more houses than those who were powerless. This was quite unfair.
On the contrary, the new system of house allotment may bring about many new things. For example, the government will have more money which can be used in house construction. So, the housing industry can develop more quickly. Besides, because houses will be sold to people, the chances they get will be equal.
When I enter the society, I would get a loan from the bank to buy my own house. Then, I would try to pay back the loan in the shortest time possible.
After that, I would proudly claim: 'Now, I am the master of that house.

标题：On Punctuality
提示：
1) 准时在现代生活中仍然很重要;
2) 试举例说明
In our modern life, punctuality is one of the most important qualities that any person should possess. Punctuality demonstrates that you are reliable and can be trusted with responsibilities. Besides, it can make a person a good man. And if you are not punctual, you may injure others.
We should practice punctuality for the sake of others, as well as ourselves.
He who is punctual will accomplish far more in a day than he who is not so.
Washington was remarkable for this virtue. His mother had taught him, when a boy, or have certain hours for every employment, and to do everything at the appointed time. This habit helped, in his later life, to make him a good man. Without it, he could never have made such success.
Neglect of punctuality may injure both to others and to oneself. An applicant may be turned away just for the sake of being late for the interview. Students coming late for class will undoubtedly interrupt the teacher. Therefore, we ought never to say 'It is only once —— I will not do so again' to excuse ourselves; otherwise we will be tardier and we will fail in our society.
In a word, if we form the habit of punctuality at school, it will be of great advantage to us in our future life.
