徐华：12月英语四级作文范文考前背诵8篇

　　2013 年12 月四级范文

　　1) Describe the picture briefly

　　2) Explain/interpret its meaning/example

　　3) Give your comments

　　From the information given in the cartoon above, we can see clearly that two daughters

　　pretend to look after their mother. On the one hand, the mother is nervous because she does not

　　know where she should live. On the other hand, the purpose of two daughters is to obtain their

　　mothers money in her pockets.

　　The painter/drawer/cartoonist tries to inform us that we are supposed to take care of

　　our parents and we do this with no thought of gain for ourselves. Actually, the fact that two

　　daughters attempt to care for their mother indicates that lots of young people would like to have

　　their parents possessions by doing the same thing. Because some of the adolescents wish to

　　obtain the fortune easily and rapidly, they often choose the way of relying on their parents. For

　　example, reports can be easily found in the newspapers and magazines that some young

　　people deny the responsibility for supporting the old parents when they inherit their money.

　　How to take care of the old parents has become a hotly debated topic in recent years. As

　　a young man, we are supposed to make money on our own and what we should bear in mind

　　is that supporting the old parents is a traditional Chinese virtue.

　　1991 年6 月Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less

　　than 100 words on Changes in Peoples Diet. Study the following table carefully and your

　　composition must be based on the information given in the table. Write three paragraphs to:

　　1.state the changes in peoples diet in the past five years;

　　2. give possible reasons for the changes.

　　3. draw your own conclusions.

　　You should quote as few figures as possible.

　

　　As can be seen from the chart, great changes have taken place in peoples diet in the past

　　five years. Grain, as the main food of most Chinese, is now playing a less important role. That is

　　to say, it had a slight decline from 49% in 1986 to 45% in 1990. On the contrary, the

　　proportion/percentage of some high-energy foods, such as milk and meat, increased 3% and 4%

　　respectively.

　　What has caused these changes? It seems to me that there are two reasons. First, with the

　　development of economy and society, people are better off than before. The price of meat and

　　milk is much higher than that of grain, so in the old days people could not afford them. Now they

　　have enough money to buy both meat and milk. Second, people nowadays pay more attention to

　　the elements of their diet. They look for a well-balanced diet that will be good for their health.

　　From what has been discussed/analyzed above, we may safely come to a conclusion that

　　there have been changes in peoples diet in the past five years because of financial and health

　　reasons, and there will be further changes in the foreseeable future.

　　3. 2002 年6 月

　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic:

　　Student Use of Computers. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on

　　the chart and the outline given below:

　　1. Interpret the bar chart, and

　　2. State the reasons

　　3. Describe the problems of using the computers by college students.

　　Student Use of Computers

　　As is shown in the chart above, the average number of hours that college students spent on

　　computers per week increased sharply from 1990 to 2000. The first 5 years witnessed a steady

　　rise from less than 2 hours a week to almost 4 hours; while the number soared from 4 hours to 20

　　in the last 5 years.

　　As is shown in the chart above, great changes have taken place in students use of

　　computers between 1990 and 2000. On the one hand, the number of hours students spend on

　　PCs a week had a slight increase from less than 2 hours in 1990 to almost 4 hours in 1995. On

　　the other hand, it soared from 4 hours to around 18 hours a week in the last 5 years.

　　Why does the computer become so popular? There are several factors accounting for

　　this marked growth. For one thing, compared with any other human inventions and

　　innovations in history, computers, as the most powerful communication tool, can be widely used

　　in as many fields as one can imagine. For another, with the development of science and

　　technology, the price of computers becomes so low that almost everybody can afford one

　　nowadays, including us college students. Whats more, we cannot find a good job after

　　graduation without knowing how to use the high-tech machine.

　　Although computers bring us many benefits/much convenience, we cannot ignore the

　　fact that they also bring about/lead to/give rise to/cause many problems. For instance, some

　　students spent too much time on playing PC games and these, of course, affect their study

　　enormously. How to balance the time between using computers and studying has become a

　　serious problem. Therefore, it is high time that we learned not only how to use computers but

　　also how to use them properly/appropriately/wisely.

　　4，谚语作文题

　　1997 年1 月Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes tow rite a composition on the

　　topic: Practice Makes Perfect. You should write at least 100 words and you should base your

　　composition on the outline below:

　　1. How to understand Practice Makes Perfect

　　2. Support the view with examples

　　3. Draw your own conclusion

　　Practice is the key to success in all fields of activity. It is practice alone that enables us

　　to build up speed and efficiency. When we accomplish something perfectly without wasting

　　effort, this is the result of long practice.

　　Examples can be easily found, but this/these will be enough/sufficient. Take the study of

　　English for example. Only practice can enable us to spell words correctly and master the

　　rules of grammar. And it is also through practice that we can become fluent in speaking and

　　writing, there is no other way. Another good example is sports. Practice is the only way to

　　become stronger and run faster. Besides, in team games practice is what improves our sense of

　　cooperation and helps the team to win.

　　To sum up, there can be no achievement which is not based on a solid foundation of

　　practice.

　　A famous/well-known proverb/saying/remark goes Practice makes perfect, which

　　means that perfection lies in practice. Without practice, you can never expect to be really good at

　　anything. On the contrary, the more you practice, the more likely you are to do things in a

　　perfect way.

　　Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list. The study of English is

　　a case in point. If you wish to improve your pronunciation, you must practice pronouncing every

　　English syllable again and again. Likewise, if you want to write an excellent composition, you

　　have to sit down and write. Another example is Deng Yaping, the world No. 1 woman Ping-pong

　　player. This short girl, who does not seem to be cut out for sports, owes her success to painstaking

　　and perseverant practice.

　　In short, practice is essential if we want to make achievements in our studies or work, or

　　indeed in any other aspect of our life. Practice, to some degree, can make the difference

　　between being merely good at something and becoming a champion.

　　5.现象描述题

　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: How

　　to get a job. You should write at least 100 words, and base your composition on the outline below:

　　1) Present situation: it is hard to get a job for college graduates

　　2) Give possible reasons

　　3) Your comments

　　Job hunting has always been a headache for college graduates. Though many graduates are

　　employed right after graduation, some are not. Most serious of all, some still have no idea where

　　to go working even a long time after graduation.

　　The reasons for this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago colleges

　　and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on

　　that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, most

　　graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the countryside.

　　I think the problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures. First, they

　　should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. Second, students attitude

　　towards employment should be changed. They should go to some small cities and country. There

　　they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention,

　　the problem can be solved.

　　6.正反观点题

　　1999 年6 月Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the

　　topic: Reading Selectively Or Extensively? You should write at least 100 words, and base your

　　composition on the outline below:

　　1. Some people think we should read selectively

　　2. Others think we should read extensively

　　3. My opinion

　　It is widely believed that we are supposed to read selectively, which means that more often

　　than not, people choose some books to read. One reason they say is that with the development of

　　the publishing industry, books in increasing numbers are printed and eventually we cannot read

　　them all. The other reason they claim is that not all books are good for us, and some of them

　　may contain lots of pornographic or violent descriptions.

　　While others argue that it would be a better choice to read as many books as possible, that is,

　　we ought to read extensively. These people insist that only by reading a variety of books can one

　　become a full/knowledgeable man. They also point out that we need to read books of all kinds to

　　keep us well-informed and keep up with the latest development.

　　After careful consideration, I may safely come to the conclusion that we should combine

　　these two reading methods together. For one thing, we need to choose some classics to read. For

　　another, we have to read as much as we can. It is only by doing so that one can become a man

　　who knows something of everything and everything of something.

　　December 27, 2003

　　Dear Xiao Ming,

　　8.记叙+说明

　　2003 年6 月Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write an eye-witness

　　account of a traffic accident. You should write at least 120 words, and based on the outline given

　　in Chinese below.

　　Suppose you saw a traffic accident, you need to write an eye-witness account for the police office.

　　The essay should be based on the outline below:

　　1.Time and place of the traffic accident

　　2.The details of the accident

　　3.Reasons for the traffic accident

　　It was at 6:30 in the early morning that I saw this terrible traffic accident. The tragedy just

　　happened near our school gate when I was on my way to the nearest Xinhua Bookstore to buy a

　　Contemporary Longman English-English Dictionary.

　　I heard a loud crash when I was walking on the sidewalk/pavement of the street. I turned

　　round and I found this horrible accident. With glass broken into pieces on the ground, two cars

　　were badly damaged and both of the drivers began to quarrel with each other, and people in

　　growing numbers were gathering together here. Predictably, a traffic jam is formed and policemen

　　are called and they came here immediately. And it took them about half an hour to get the traffic

　　on the move again.

　　It is no difficulty for me to come up with the following reasons to account for this

　　phenomenon. Firstly, both of them were driving too fast, and one of the drivers was driving

　　under the influence of alcohol. Secondly, the rainy weather should also be responsible for such a

　　horrible accident.
