这道2022年大学英语四级作文试题要求考生给学校图书馆写一份改善其服务的建议书,内容包括图书馆存在的问题及解决办法。
建议书是一种常见的应用文,一般包括四个部分:标题、称呼、正文、署名。本文的标题可以写A Proposal for Improving School Library Service。称呼可以写Dear Director。正文可以写成三段。第一段先表明自己的身份,然后说明写作目的:为了改善学校图书馆的服务而提出建议。第二段指出学校图书馆存在的问题并提出解决办法。图书馆的问题可能有很多方面,考生可以根据自己的知识储备自由发挥,但最好从学生能亲身体验到的方面来谈。比如,图书资料陈旧、管理员态度冷淡、环境糟糕、数字化程度低等。我们最好从两三个方面阐述,指出一个问题,紧接着就提出解决办法。第三段先指出图书馆对于学校的重要性,然后建议采取有效措施,以保证学校图书馆的图书经常更新以及管理员接受专业训练。最后是署名,写在正文之下中间偏右位置,可以写Li Ming。下面请看参考范文:
A Proposal for Improving School Library Service
Dear Director,
I am a freshman of Shanghai University. I am writing to put forward a proposal to improve the service of our school library.
There are mainly two problems besetting the library. First, the books and materials are in bad need of updating. Many students have stopped patronizing it because they cannot find relevant academic materials. A possible solution is to urge the school authorities to channel more funds to the library. Another problem is lack of professional staff. A good library is one staffed with smiling librarians, ready to lend a helping hand when they see a student has trouble finding a book. But the librarians in our library are mostly unsmiling, unhelpful and unfriendly. This problem can be solved by hiring more high-calibre professionals.
The library is the heart of a university and plays a key role in students academic life. I hope that effective measures will be taken to ensure that books are regularly updated and staff professionally trained.
Li Ming (170 words)
语言亮点借鉴:
1. There are mainly two problems besetting the library.主要有两个问题困扰着图书馆。besetting the library是现在分词短语做定语,修饰problems。
2. A good library is one staffed with smiling librarians, ready to lend a helping hand when they see a student has trouble finding a book.好的图书馆配备有笑容满面的管理员,看到学生找书有困难会伸出援助之手。staffed with smiling librarians是过去分词短语做定语,修饰one。have trouble/difficulty doing sth做某事有困難。
3. The library is the heart of a university and plays a key role in students academic life.图书馆是大学的核心,在学生的学术生活中起着关键作用。
4. I hope that effective measures will be taken to ensure that books are regularly updated and staff professionally trained. 我希望将会采取有效措施,以保证图书经常更新、员工受到专业培训。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay that begins with the sentence “Nowadays more and more people keep learning new skills to adapt to a fast-changing world.” You can make comments, cite examples or use your personal experiences to develop your essay. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
这道2022年6月的大学英语六级作文试题属于分析现象型作文,其特点是题目提出一种社会现象,请考生分析。本题所要分析的社会现象是如今越来越多的人不断学习新技能,以适应快速变化的世界。
我们可以把这篇作文写成三个段落。第一段先提出所要分析的现象——如今越来越多的人不断学习新技能,以适应快速变化的世界。为了言之有据,接着引用一项在上海所做的研究作为支撑。第二段分析这个社会现象,可以从分析原因的角度展开。为了使分析充分透彻,我们要善于从不同的方面或层面展开论述。就本文而言,我们不妨把“越来越多的人”分成年轻人和老年人,分别地讨论他们不断学习新技能的原因。第一,年轻人学习新技能是为了发展自己的职业。在快速变化的职场,年轻人如果不能保持自己的技能经常更新,他们就会失去竞争力,很容易被取代。第二,老年人学习新技能是为了保持头脑敏捷。为了论证这一点,可以以自己80岁的爷爷为例:他最近报名参加了一门电脑课程,现在他会自己重装电脑系统,更不用说网上冲浪和网购。本文可以用建议法结尾。第三段先总结全文,指出学习并非止于毕业。在这个不断变化的世界上,无论是为了事业还是为了健康,我们都必须不断学习。最后建议大家每天都要学习新东西。下面请看参考范文:
Nowadays more and more people keep learning new skills to adapt to a fast-changing world. A recent study surveyed 1,000 adults from a wide spectrum of professions in Shanghai and found that 84.1 percent of those polled said they were learning one new skill or another.
Young people expand their skill base mainly to improve their career. For them, learning new things is more requirement than choice. If they dont keep their skills up to date in todays rapidly changing workplace, they will stop being competitive and can easily get replaced. For senior citizens, however, learning new skills is an effective way to keep mentally active. Take my 80-year-old grandpa as an example. He recently signed up for a computer course. It has worked wonders. He can now reinstall the operating system of his computer, not to mention surfing the Web and shopping online.
Learning does not necessarily end when you graduate from school. Whether for health or career purposes, learning new skills is a must in this constantly changing world. So make it your goal to learn something new each and every day! (184 words)

3. He can now reinstall the operating system of his computer, not to mention surfing the Web and shopping online.他现在会自己重裝电脑系统,更不用说上网冲浪和上网购物了。not to mention更不用说。
4. Whether for health or career purposes, learning new skills is a must in this constantly changing world.不管是为了健康还是为了事业,学习新技能在这个迅速变化的世界上都是必须的。must必须做的事。
