The Main Difference Between My College Life and My Middle School Life

As every college student would agree，life in college is different from that in middle sch001．In my opinion．the main difference lies in the fact that we enjoy more independence at college．

As far as I?m concerned，I prefer the college life to the middle school life．For one thing，I live on my own：wash my own clothes，buy my own food，looking myself．I make my daily decisions of my own will．For another，I depend heavily on myself in my study．I have plenty of free time outside the classroom．In order to achieve academic success，I can derive as much from the teachers?lectures as from my own diligence．In the absence of pressure from both the college and the family，I must have a workable

plan of my own．

To sum up，I live a quite different life at college from that in my middle school in that I am much more responsible for my own life and study．To those newcomers，1 would suggest they break away from their parents? tender care and stand on their own feet．

More Pressure From Academic Studies Does No Good to Us It is believed one of the main problems with today's education is that too much emphasis is placed on test scores. It has become the most important criterion for college enrollment. A student, however creative and intelligent, will not be admitted into a college, for assignment or in employment competitions if his/her test scores are not high enough. Therefore, students are faced with more and more pressure from academic studies. In my opinion, this is harmful for students' overall development.

First, the competition for high scores among students becomes intense. Students find themselves concentrating more on strategies to achieve high scores than on acquiring the knowledge. They will play truant of some subsidiary courses, skip over the substance which will not be tested on. Second, teachers are apt to give their students high scores. As their job is judged mainly by students' performance in terms of scores, some teachers tend to set easy papers to test their students on or narrow down the scope of the exam, even give them the hints to exams, or favor their students with high scores.

In fact, times are different. The criteria for good college students are changing now. It is tree that good marks continue to be some students' dream, yet there are a growing number of students who are concerned much more about things other than academic achievement. Job market demands personnel with both intelligent and non-intelligent qualities. Therefore, students today should be better prepared for challenges and competition upon graduation.

It is now generally accepted that vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) are a major source of air pollution in cities. You are to suggest only ONE way to solve the problem.

Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:

ONE W AY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM

You are to write in three paragraphs.

In the first paragraph, state what your suggested way is.

In the second paragraph, state one or two advantages of your suggestion.

In the last paragraph, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion.

Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.

One Way to Solve the Problem

Too many vehicles, such as cars, tracks, motorcycles, have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, they are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big dries. All the time, the vehicles are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are harmful, causing disease and even death.

One possible solution that may reduce air pollution created by so many vehicles is to develop modem public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not have private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly. People would find more room to walk, to jog, to perform what they used to do in the open air. Moreover, dirt, noise exhaust, parked cars, and smog would decrease greatly.

There is no inherent incompatibility between man in an urban setting and the automobile. But we don't want cars to seize our living space. We take for granted that everyone could enjoy the

pleasure of stretching his legs freely, breathing and sniffing the air cheerfully. On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the co-efforts from the government, the public and the environments.

2000 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]

Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic: College life should be varied and colourful. And extracurricular activities are an important aspect of it. However, at present, there is much room for improvement in this regard. Write an article to the university radio entitled:

The Importance of Extracurricular Activities

In the first part of your article you should clearly present your view, and in the second part you should support your opinion with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

The Importance of Extracurricular Activities

Dear Editor,

People have different ideas about how students should spend their school days. Some believe that students should spend the whole day on academic studies. Others believe that extracurricular activities should be a required part of every school day. I think both ways have their advantages. But I prefer the latter.

As a student, our main task is to concentrate on our academic study. We have to attend classes, reading books and doing assignments. Only by working hard can we learn our courses well. But I don?t think we should spend every hour and minute on academic study. A proverb says, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Without good health and strong body, how can we improve our study efficiency and make great achievements in our academic study? Besides, spending the whole day on academic study may make us exhausted and weak. We should find other meaningful things to do besides studying. For example, doing extracurricular activities can make students? life more colorful and beneficial. There are various forms of exercise. My favorite one is football. I play football with my classmates for one hour every afternoon. After a day?s hard work, how nice it is to stretch my arms and legs! By playing football I?ve got both joy and strength. I always look energetic.

Actually doing extracurricular activities doesn?t disturb our study if we make full use of our time. Instead it does help us study more efficiently. We can be good at learning as well as extracurricular activities. So I suggest that students do extracurricular activities along with their academic studies.

Yours Sincerely,

Tom Smith

Travel has become part of our life. And more and more of us have come to know the significance of travel through our own experience. Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:

TRA VEL BROADENS THE MIND

You are to write in three parts.

In the first part, state what the topic actually means to you.

In the second part, give one or two examples to illustrate your ideas.

In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.

Travel Broadens the Mind

Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. More and more people have enough money to travel abroad or at home. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. This situation is encouraging, for it not only broadens people's minds to the extend which may not be reached previously, but also relaxes them physically, which help people work out mental problems more actively.

One of my best friends is so exclusively engaged in his works that he did not even know what was happening out of his own discipline. What?s worse, his progress was nearly little. After accepting my advice, he travelled a few cities and towns. The experience gave him a good opportunity of learning. Today, he gets a bumper harvest in his knowledge——the longstanding dream of entering graduate school comes true.

In conclusion, travel opens our mind because it enables us to know about the history and culture of a nation. In a way, going on travels is like reading books.

Nowadays people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of health. And they have different ways to stay healthy. For example, some exercise every day; others try to keep a balanced diet. What do you think is the best way to stay healthy?

Write a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:

THE BEST WAY TO STAY HEALTHY

You are to write in three parts.

In the first part, state what you think is the best way.

In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.

In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.

The Best Way to Stay Healthy

Nowadays，the desire for good health is universal. Wherever you are and whatever you do, staying healthy is always important. With the improvement of our living standards, people are attaching more and more importance to their health. However, which do you think is the best way to keep healthy?

Different people come up with different views: eating green food, doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology. According to some surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally ill. The burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others, so they can? t step out of the shadow of depressio n and sadness. They need to release their spirit to the nature. Besides, if you have developed a good quality of psychology, you?ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society. Enrolling for some keep-fit clubs or joining some travel agency, which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise, will benefit you a lot.

As a poem says, youth is not a period of time; it?s a state of mind. Everybody wants to k eep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living. Keep a good quality of mind, or keep a sense of humour, even if you are 80, and you?ll never be old.

People in modern society live under a lot of pressure, from education, career, or family. So it is important for them to keep a good mood under whatever circumstances. Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:

THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A GOOD MOOD

You are to write in three parts.

In the first part, state specifically what your view is.

In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.

In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.

THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A GOOD MOOD

People in modern society live under a lot of pressure. I see three kinds of pressure working on people today: pressure from education, family and career. It is easy to blame the school for charging too much money, the family members for the heavy burden, the society for the fierce competition. I think people should relax. It is important for them to keep a good mood under whatever circumstances.

Long gone are the days when people lived their life with a certain relaxation, sampling a wide variety of activities—film, music, art, poetry. But now, a lot of people suffer from a lot of pressure. They can?t communicate well with co-workers and family members, and have unbalanced, one-dimensional lives. Some people complain of symptoms of stress, for instance, loss of appetite, a complete sense of exhaustion, insomnia and low morale. Thus have destructive effect on their health. People tend to lose temper easily, and this may interfere personal relationship. What?s more, a high rate of suicide may warn people of their emotional well-being.

To be a healthy person physically and psychologically, one should keep a good mood, according to some psychology experts. Those little things may seem relatively insignificant—reading mystery novels, playing volleyball, spending time with family and friends, maintaining your emotional well-being, getting plenty of rest, going fishing. They can help you keep a good mood.

Nowadays young people tend to phone more often than write to each other. So, some say that phones will kill letter writing. What is your opinion?

Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:

WILL PHONES KILL LETTER WRITING?

You are to write in three parts.

In the first part, state specifically what your view is.

In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.

In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.

Letter Writing Will Not Be Killed

Nowadays, young people choose to phone each other rather writing letters. But even if so, I still maintain that letter writing will never be killed by phones, though we have stepped into the Information Age.

First, letters can express your subtle feelings. With the increase of the living pace of modern

society, we find that there is a lack of communication now. Sometimes when you are speaking to someone that you care and love on the phone, you are so shy that it?s too hard to express any of your feelings towards him/her. Your throat seems to be blocked! At this time, letters will help. Without any embarrassment, you can just write down your deep concern and love on a piece of paper. When you drop the letter into the pillar-box, you will feel what he/she will receive is not only a letter, but also your deepest love. Secondly, letters can be kept as a record of memory, while phones cannot. Just imagine, when you open an old box of letters and read them years later, a lot of beautiful and indelible memories will be brought back to you. What an irreplaceable feeling it is! And I believe, this feeling is something that you can definitely never experience through several phone calls.

All in all, letter writing will absolutely survive and even thrive in the Information Age. Phones can never kill it, neither will anything.

The students? Union of your university is planning to hold an arts festival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.

Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:

MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIV AL

You are to write in three parts.

In the first part, state what you think is the best way.

In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.

In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.

My Idea of a University Arts Festival

An arts festival will no doubt add much to our campus life, since it, like other group activities, will be a stage on which students from different colleges and departments communicate and share their interests. This festival, of course, needs to be well organized, so as to get everyone involved. While all kinds of activities contribute to this great festival, lectures by leading artists in this country will surely make it more successful.

First of all, influential …stars? are always an attraction to involve the greatest number of participants. The main purpose of this festival, just as other campus activities, is to add variety to students? life. Its results and influence need to be measured more by the number of participants than by their artistic level it will display. The more people get involved, the more successful the festival. While a few of the students are busy performing during the festival, lectures permit the majority to sit there listening and asking their …masters? questions.Secondly, face-to-face communication between students, some of whom are potential artists, and the leading artists is always a bridge linking textbook knowledge and practice. University students spend most of their time learning from textbooks or at the library, but knowing how to do is quite different from doing it. The experience of and advice from those practitioners in the fields of music, movie, and painting help university students to think what else they need to learn and what they will do in the future. What?s more, lectures by well-known experts will enhance the influence of the arts festival and the university. Arts festivals are held in many universities in the city, but they are organized in more or less the same way. As far as I know, lectures are seldom part of them. Therefore, it will promote the reputation of our festival, which is a new comer in the city.

In a word, it will be beneficial to invite some experts to give lectures. It will get more students to get involved, students will benefit from lectures by experts, and it will draw more public attention to the festival.

Saving Money or Spending Tomorrow’s Money

You are to write in three parts.

In the first part, state what you think is the best way.

In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.

In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.

You should supply an appropriate title for your composition.

Saving Money or Spending Tomorrow’s Money Recently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students in Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi?an, Chengdu and Shanghai, etc. To my surprise, almost 67 percent of students regarded saving money as a good habit. As far as I am concerned, spending tomorrow?s money today is a better and wiser option.

First of all, spending tomorrow?s money may improve our living standards and enable us to live a happy and well-to-do life. Still remember the wide-spread story about two old ladies—one is American and the other is Chinese. In her life the American lady spent tomorrow?s money, enjoying the capacious houses, luxurious cars and all the modern electrical appliances. Before she died, she had paid off all her loans, and she said she had no regret in her life and she had led a happy life. On the other hand, the Chinese one just saved money, living a hard life. When she died, she finally could afford the luxurious houses with her savings, but she had no time to enjoy it any longer. What a poor lady! What?s more, spending tomorrow?s money also plays a significant role in the economy of our country. Since it can spur people to make more money to enjoy life, the consumerism by this trend will undoubtedly drive forward our economy. With the country?s economy developed, the best beneficiary is our common people. In other word, it is the best way to ensure a life free from poverty and anxiety about future.

All in all, with benefits to both our personal lives and the development of the country, spending tomorrow?s money in advance will be a sensible choice, comparing with a life of saving money all life long which will surely brings us poverty.

Nowadays the Internet has become part of people?s life, and million of young people have made friends online.

Is It Wise to Make Friends Online

You are to write in three parts.

In the first part, state what you think is the best way.

In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.

In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.

Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?

Internet, as one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century, has greatly changed our life. Nowadays, more and more young people have many friends online, which, as far as I am concerned, has more benefits than negative efforts.

Firstly, Internet enlarges our circle of friends considerably. No other ways of communication enable us to makes friends all around the world as easily as Internet does. As long as we can speak English or other foreign languages, we are able to chat with Americans, Japanese as well as European people, and therefore, to broaden our views by exposing ourselves to various cultures and experiences. Apart from that, we tend to be more honest and straightforward when we make online friends than in real life. Since in the cyberspace, we cannot see others? faces, we do not have to worry about the negative results brought by direct communication. For instance, we are free to air our opinions on some sensitive issues of the society, and share our little secrets with our online friends with ease. In this way, online friendship gives rise to more openness and less stress or pressure at the same time.

While many people argue that making friends online is not stable or even dangerous, I posit that embracing this technological innovation by becoming a true netizen is definitely a wise choice.

2016 Part VI Writing Read carefully the following excerpt on term-time holiday arguments in the UK, and then write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 words, in which you should: ·summarize the main message of the excerpt, and then ·comment on whether parents should take children out of school for holiday during term time in order to save money. You should support yourself with information from the excerpt. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, origination and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Term-time holidays will be banned Parents are to be banned by Michael Gove, UK’s Education secretary, from taking their children out of school to save money on holidays. He is t abolish the right of head teachers to “authorize absence” from the classroom, which has been used to let families take term-time breads, and will warn them they face fines for their children not being at school. “Any time out of school has the potential to damage a child’s education,” a senior source at the Department for Education said this weekend. “That is why the government will end the distinction between authorized and unauthorized absence.” “This is part of the government’s wider commitment to bring down truancy levels in our schools. There will also be stricter penalties for parents and schools.” The tough measures on truancy are part of a wider attempt by Mr. Gove to make education more academically rigorous and to tackle a culture in the educational establishment which he believes has accepted “excuses for failure”. Russell Hobby, the general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said the measure would discourage parents from trying to put pressure on heads to sanction term time holidays. “The high cost of holidays outside of term time is still an issue but ultimately a child’s education is more important than a holiday,” he said. Write your response on Answer Sheet Three.

My suggestion II. Sample With population rapidly increasing, heavy traffic has become a big headache for many cities. For this very reason, many government officials and experts have thought up some solutions, among which two draw much attention over the country. Some people suggested that more and wider roads should be laid down. It is evident that it can relieve the traffic congestion in the streets, thus accelerating（加速） the flow of buses and cars. And meanwhile, the fast and smooth flow of traffic reduces the air pollution caused by engine-idling. But the disadvantages of this solution lies in the fact that too much land could be used for farming or housing will inevitably be occupied by more and more roads. Therefore, others hold that the number of public bus routes should be raised so that more people can be transported and fewer people will have to travel in their own cars or ride bikes. Less use of bicycles and private cars will make the roads less crowded. Unfortunately, there is also a drawback in this solution: it will bring inconvenience to those who live or work far away from bus stop.

TEM-2011:Should private car owners be taxed for pollution? With the development of society, many people can afford a car. As the number of the cars is rising, we are facing some problems.One big problem is the pollution caused by the use of cars. In order to solve this problem, government agencies in some big cities recently suggest that a “ pollution tax ” should be put on private cars in order to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint, and my reasons are as follows: To begin with, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, a lot of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is the responsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose of collecting environmental pollution tax is to raise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue lever to protect our environment. Secondly, it is a good way to raise people ’ s environmental awareness by putting a pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss when making a decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they will consider more when deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the private cars can be controlled. In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private car owners, should try their best to protect the environment. 272words TEM-2010: Should College Students Hire Cleaners?

The following are the supporters' and opponents' opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Yes No Traditional characters, which date back to more than 2000 years ago, have a more beautiful appearance and a more reasonable structure. As indicated by the 親and 愛examples, traditional characters make more sense, convey traditional values and can therefore represent traditional culture. For two millennia, Chinese historical records and classic works were written in traditional characters. To be able to read them and inherit traditional cultures, we need to bring traditional characters back. Politically, it is also necessary to restore traditional Chinese characters. Currently, traditional characters are still in use in Hong Kong, Taiwan and many In today’s world, efficiency matters most. Traditional characters, which usually have more strokes than simplified ones, are more difficult to learn. By contrast, simplified characters are much easier to learn and use. Over the past 50 years, lots of classic texts have been turned into simplified-character versions, which means simplified characters can also promote and preserve traditional culture. Constant simplification has been a trend in the evolution of Chinese characters. From the oracle bones script of 3000 years ago to traditional characters, the Chinese writing system has always been slimming down for better communication.

专四 历年作文真题及范文汇总(TEM4 WRITNG)

1990 – 2011 (TEM4WRITNG)历年英语专业四级作文真题及范文汇总 2011—COMPOSITION: Recently government agencies in some big cities have been studying the possibility of putting a "pollution tax" on private cars. The amount of tax private car owners would have to pay would depend on the emission levels, i.e. engine or vehicle size. This has caused quite a stir among the public. Some regard it as an effective way to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. But others don't think so. What is your opinion?Should Private Car Owners be Taxed for Pollution?(200 words) One possible version: Should Private Car Owners be Taxed for Pollution? With the development of society, many people can afford a car. As the number of the cars is rising, we are facing some problems. One big problem is the pollution caused by the use of cars. In order to solve the problem, government agencies in some big cities recently suggest that a “pollution tax” should be put on private cars to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint, and my reasons are as follows: Firstly, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, lots of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is the responsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose of collecting environmental pollution tax is to raise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue lever to protect our environment.Secondly, it is a good way to raise people’s environmental awareness by putting a pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss when making a decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they will consider more when deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the private cars can be controlled. In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private car owners, should try their best to protect the environment. NOTE-WRITING: During the summer vacation you would like to invite your best friend to your home town.Write a note to him/her, extending your invitation and telling him/her how to get to your hometown.

If possible, you can come here by the train No. 1010, which will arrive here at 18:00.I am looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible. Sincerely yours, Sally 2010—COMPOSITION: It was recently reported in a newspaper that six students who shared a dorm at a university hired a cleaner to do laundry and cleaning once a week. And each of them paid her 60 yuan a month. This has led to a heated debate as to whether college students should hire cleaners. Should College Students Hire Cleaners?(200 words) One possible version: Should College Students Hire Cleaners? It’s a popular phenomenon nowadays that college students would hire cleaners to help do the laundry and clean their dormitories, which has sparked a heated debate among students, parents and teachers. In my point of view, such practice should not be encouraged on campus. To begin with, college students should have the capacity for the basic laundry and cleaning work. Doing family chores is a simple way to cultivate independence. If college students can’t even do the most basic things in their life, how c an they handle big challenges under pressure in the future? In addition, college students should feel shamed of disposing of their parents’ hard-earned money in this way. Since a large proportion of their living expenses and tuition are covered by their parents, hiring cleaners could be considered a waste of money. Finally, I do not agree with those who claim they hire cleaners for the sake of either study or saving time. This is a mere excuse for their sloth and overreliance. In summary, hiring cleaners should be discouraged on campus, where students are supposed to cultivate a sense of responsibility and independence rather than become lazy parasites. NOTE-WRITING: Your good friend, John, is thinking of organizing an end-of-the-term party. Write him a note telling him that you like his idea and offer to help him. You have to be specific about how you can help him.(50-60 words ) One possible version: Dear John,, As a close friend of you, I really love your idea of organizing an end-of-the-semester party. W hat a great idea! It’s my pleasure to give some help if necessary. Firstly, I would like to attend the celebration and share our joy. Secondly, I wish to hold a small musical soiree, at which a band of mine will perform some works by Bach and Strauss. Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Mike 2009—COMPOSITION: Tourism is a booming business in China. However, some people worry that too many tourists may bring harm to the environment, while others don't think so.
