1、 英语四六级考试经典范文(一) 英文议论文的结构特点 汉语写作对文章结构的要求不是很高，如开头段应该包括什么、论题句应该在什么时候出现、文章的结尾是否必须总结全文等等。而英语写作要求文章结构必须十分严谨，文章各个部分的功能都要十分清晰，开头、中间和结尾都有严格的要求。 简而言之，英语议论文共有三大特点： 1、 观点鲜明的开头； 2、 紧扣主题的结尾； 3、 有主题句并且衔接自然的中间段落。 这三点当中，第 1、2 点早已为绝大多数中国学生所熟知，因为开头点题和结尾扣题同样也是汉语文章的要求。但在长时间的学习过程中，这样的要求被很多学生以为是“老土”而得不到足够的重视。如果将这种思想带到英语议论
2、文写作当中，直接的后果就是中心分散、观点不明确，加上中国学生普遍英文表达能力不强，这些因素就为整篇文章的失败埋下了隐患。 另外，英语文章和汉语不同的是段落的主题句一定要放在段首，而不能按照中文的写作习惯放在段落的中间或者最后，在英文应试写作中更加如此。正因为没有“主题句”的思想，所以中国学生在写英语文章时经常“想到什么，就写什么” ，这在英语议论文中是不能接受的。例如，例文 1中每一段的首句都简要地概括出了该段的主要内容，换句话说，每段的内容都是根据首句来展开的，其顺序不能颠倒。 (二) 中心统一 在中心统一这个问题上，英语议论文和汉语议论文的概念也有所不同。中国人在写议论文时常常遵循“中庸”
3、的原则，其具体的表现就是认为世界上没有任何事情是绝对的。当他们在文章中表扬一件事物或一种现象的时候，总要指出其不足；同样，在批评一件事物或一种现象的同时，也总不忘记指出其也有合理之处。这种做法从道理上来讲并没有什么不妥，但却不符合英语议论文的写作习惯，因为英语作家在写议论文时关注的是自己的辩论技巧和其结果对公众的影响力。换句话说，如果作者告诉大家两面都有道理也就等于说两面都没有道理，因为读者在读了文章之后仍旧不知道作者的看法是什么，以及自己在这种情况下到底该怎么做。 所以，既然四级考试考的是英语文章，大家就应该遵循英文议论文的写作思路和习惯：表示支持则旗帜鲜明地支持；表示反对就彻彻底底地反对，
4、而不能采取“墙头草两边倒”的做法。以上面的例文 1 为例，如果作者的观点是“幸运数字是既有道理又无道理的” ，这种观点就无法让人接受，因为在英语议论文中，这是典型的中心不统一。1. Woman in Modern SocietyTitle: Woman in Modern SocietyOutline: 1) Role of women in modern society2) Prejudices and discrimination against women3) My commentWomen play an important part in modern society. Now ma
5、ny women are going into professions, such as medicine, law and engineering. They comprise a large part of the workers in businesses and factories. In addition, they are working up to important positions which used to be held mainly by men. There are even some businesses which are run completely be w
6、omen. Clearly, women are making outstanding contributions to the progress of modern society.There are, However, still some people who assert that men are superior to women in many ways. First, many jobs men do can hardly be done by women, who are physically not strong enough. Second, most of the wor
7、ld-famous scientists and statesmen are found to be males. Finally, the whole society seems to have always been dominated by men only. In their opinion, men should enjoy more rights than women do. Personally, Im firmly standing on the side of those woman right defenders. Since both men and women are
8、equally important in human activities, they should be on an equal footing. (173 words)2. On Power Failure Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition entitled On Power Failure. You should write at least 120 words according to the following guidelines:1很多城市缺电现象严重 2分析原因
9、 3提出建议On Power FailureRecently, every morning when I wake up, I find my air-conditioner automatically turned off. I didnt understand why at first, but soon I learned that there was a great shortage of electricity supply in our city my air-conditioner turned off because of a power failure midnight.Wi
10、th the rapidly developing industry and the ever-increasing population, demand for electricity supply is soaring. Besides, summers in recent years are much hotter than before , so most working places and households are air-conditioned , which consumes additional electricity.Face with such a hard nut,
11、 we have to find ways to crack it. Above all, in western areas China, there is surplus of electricity supply. So, cities that are thirsty for electricity may ask for remote help. Then, when we have electricity, we should remember to save it . Set your air-conditioners at 27and you wont feel less com
12、fortable than when they are at 26. In fact, some factories already shift their working hours to avoid the peak time of electricity consuming. My parents dont work from Monday to Friday as before they work form Saturday to Wednesday and have the following two days off instead. This is also a way out,
13、 isnt it?3. The role of Migrant WorkersDirections: Migrant workers (外地民工) have made a great contribution to be prosperity of cities. In this part, you are to write within 10 minutes a composition of no less than 150 words about “The Role of Migrant Workers“. You can agree and or disagree, completely
14、 or partially to above statement. But no matter which position you take, you should give sound supporting reasons.The role of Migrant WorkersAs is known to all, migrant workers have made a great contribution to the prosperity of cities. They are an indispensable part of our workforce. Most of them w
15、ork on construction sites. There is no doubt that without migrant workers many of the construction projects would have to be held up for lack of manpower. In addition, a large number of migrant workers is a factor which stimulates the consumption of food and daily items. This helps to develop food i
16、ndustry and service trades in cities. All these are positive aspects of migrant workers in cities.However, as a popular saying goes, “Everything was two sides“. The same is the case with migrant workers. First, they have trouble getting their children into child care centers and schools because they
17、 are unregistered residents in the city. As you know, illiterate people, who are usually ignorant of laws, tend to make trouble concerning law and order. Second, most of the migrant workers swarm into big cities just to make money. Being ignorant and incompetent, some of them would stop at nothing t
18、o get what they want. Therefore, they are a potential threat to the peace and stability of the society.In my opinion, in the appraisal of migrant workers, it is one-sided to affirm everything or to negate everything. We should appreciate the great contribution made by them, and at the same time pay
19、enough attention to the problems caused by them. (240 words)4. My First Day on the CampusI still remember the day when I first came to the college. Being a boy of 17, I was longing for a new life as a college student; but, at the same time, I had no idea what college life would be like.That morning
20、when the bus carried me to the gate of the college， I was so excited that my heart was beating very fast as if it would leap out of my mouth. From now on, I would be a student of this college. After registration, we were led by an instructor to the dormitory, where, for the first time, we were going
21、 to live without parents but roommates. I was so clumsy that I did not know how to make the bed and fix the mosquito net.In the afternoon, I took a walk around the campus together with my roommates. To think of studying in such a beautiful place made me feel quite proud of myself. As we were walking
22、 along, talking and laughing, a voice came into our ears, “Oh, look at these freshmen!“ It was our middle-school-students looking that gave us away. We continued our tour of the college, inspecting every building and every garden until the sun began to set.In the evening, we sat together, talking ab
23、out the past and the future. We were so excited that no one wanted to go to bed.5. The Tape RecorderThe tape recorder is one of the most welcome and popular electronic devices ever invented. For example, it can reproduce sounds quite well, which are hardly distinguishable from the original. Besides,
24、 it is very handy and can be carried around. Furthermore, tape recorders are not so expensive as color TV sets or video-tape players, so most families can afford them. Therefore, the tape recorder is liked by everyone and has entered most homes.This device is useful in many ways. For example, it is
25、used by people to play music and thus gives them a lot of pleasure. Another example is that it is an effective aid for learning a foreign language. It may also serve as a useful tool for many professionals such as reporters and policemen and enables them to work efficiently.However, it can also beco
26、me a nuisance. Some youngsters play the tape recorder late at night and therefore disturb their neighbours rest. Some shop-owners use it to attract customers and they often play music so loudly that customers feel very annoyed with it. Thus, the tape recorder should be put to good use.6. Studying Ab
27、roadAttending schools abroad has many advantages. In the first place, by looking at our own country from outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore widen our vision and broaden our minds. Second, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, v
28、isiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Thirdly we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in the second language may be improved quickly. But the most important thing in attending a foreign university is to get acquainted with the latest know
29、ledge in science and technology and make use of the first-rate facilities available. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education.However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the
30、 language barrier. Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not have adequate knowledge of the language spoken there. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying. Besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs and way of life of
31、the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings often arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-tine jobs in order to help support themselves. Faced with these diffic
32、ulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little.Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the who
33、le, it is a good thing to go and study abroad particularly when the subject is very weak or not available in our country. But on the other hand, one must not lose sight of the disadvantages.7. Is the Expansion of Enrollment a Good Thing?Many colleges and universities have expanded their enrollment s
34、ince 1998. The reasons for the expansion are as follows. Firstly, they want to keep up with the need of the job market to produce more qualified people to take up the jobs. Secondly, the expansion has entitled many high school graduates to the right of receiving higher education. Last but not least,
35、 it can raise the intellectual standards of our nation.However, studies show that the trend to expand has brought about many problems. For instance, the teaching facilities and accommodation capacities of many colleges and universities are limited and are unable to meet the demand of an ever-increas
36、ing number of the newly enrolled students. On the other hand, the average quality of the freshmen is declining. In the long run, hunting for a job will be a tough thing for the graduates and that will inevitably exert much pressure on the prospects of employment.In spite of all this, I am still conf
37、ident that the expansion of enrollment is of great benefit to our society and is a good thing. With the development of our national economy, the problem as mentioned above will be solved if proper measures are taken.8. Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus1.大学生了解社会的必要性2.了解社会的途径(大众媒介，社会服务等 )3.
38、我打算怎么做With the development of our society, the campus no longer is an “Ivory Tower“. It is necessary for college students to go outside to get to know the world. They should acquire knowledge not only from books but also from the society. Thus they can adapt to society more quickly after they gradua
39、te from school. Science and technology are developing rapidly with each passing day. Most students can keep themselves informed by watching TV, listening to the radio, reading newspapers and using computers. Its also good to take a part-time job, such as tutoring, or working in a restaurant. Any of
40、these methods will enable students to get in touch with society.Summer vacation will soon be here. Ive already enrolled to be a volunteer to help others. I think I can do well. Although I wont be paid, the most important thing is that I can learn a lot about society.9. Harmfulness of Fake Commoditie
41、s1.目前社会上有不少假冒伪劣商品(fake commodities)。为什么会有这种现象？2.举例说明假冒伪劣商品对消费个人、社会等的危害。Nowadays in the society, there are enormous fake commodities. When you go to the supermarket, you may buy some fake food commodities. When you go to the pharmacists, you may buy some fake medicine.The deep root of this phenomenon
42、 lies in someones greed for money. In order to get a large amount of money in a short time, they try every means to produce fake commodities, without any regard for other peoples benefit and health.Fake commodities can do great harm to both consumers and society. For example, when a person bought fa
43、ke medicine, it was useless in curing his disease and really a waste of money. Sometimes fake medicine can even cause death. Fake commodities are usually sold in a lower price. It causes unfair competition in the market economy and puts the whole society in disorder.10. Dont Hesitate to Say “No“1.别人
44、请求帮助时，在什么情况下我们会说“不“2.为什么有些人在该说“不“ 的时候不说 “不“3.该说“不“时不说“不“ 的坏处Dont Hesitate to Say “No“To help those who are in need is always regarded as a traditional Chinese moral. However people have to know well what the need is before the help is offered. When the need is just for some minoritys benefit and aga
45、inst most peoples interests, or when it is immoral or unlawful, people should not hesitate to say No. Otherwise they will put themselves into trouble.Unfortunately, there are so many such examples around us that people end up their leadership in jail or bury their glory in shame simply because they
46、dont say “No“ while they should. Some people are reluctant to say “No“ in front of all kinds of briberies as they want to swamp their power for money. They cant resist the temptations of accumulating wealth in a fast but illegal way. For their own good and their friends favor, these people would sac
47、rifice millions of RMB Yuan for an unproportional commission and therefore stake there future on scales of law. Other people dont say No because of misinterpreted friendship and lack of sense of law. They never hesitate to do whatever their friends ask them to do. They believe they are helping their
48、 friends even when they are actually violating the law or local regulations. Such people will also be punished according to the degree of their misbehavior.Therefore, to help is not always doing good. People should learn to say a No when the help might hurt other peoples interests.11.Reading Selecti
49、vely Or Extensively？1.有人认为读书要有选择 2.有人认为应当博览群书 3.我的看法Reading Selectively Or Extensively？How should we read? Should we read selectively or extensively? Everyone has his own view. Some people think we should read selectively. They argue that with the development of modern science and technology, more and more books are being published every day. It is impossible for us to read all the books. Whats more, there are many bad books that are poisonous to our mind, and we shouldnt read them. Since we cant read all the books, and we shouldnt read bad books,
