这道大学英语四级作文题目假设考生刚参加了一个收集二手书的校园项目,要求考生写一份报告,内容包括该项目的目的、组织者、参加者和活动。

这份报告本质上是一篇说明文,考生只需把这个项目介绍清楚即可,无需分析论证。

本文可以写三个段落。

第一段介绍项目目的——帮助农村小学的儿童。

第二段介绍项目組织者、参加者和活动内容。新学期伊始,学生会就开展了一系列宣传活动,例如在校园各处张贴海报和发放传单,以争取支持,这些海报和传单详细说明了所要收集的图书种类以及收集图书的方式。学生们热情参加,老师们也鼎力相助。总共收集到了2000多册图书,大部分崭新如初或八成新,可以分为两种类型——文学书和科普书。这些书与学校购买的1000册新书一起寄给了贵州省的一所山区小学,帮助该校创办一个图书室。

第三段指出,受到成功的鼓舞,学生会正在考虑开展更多的收集二手图书的项目,以帮助欠发达地区的儿童。

下面请看参考范文:

Our school launched a project of collecting used books on campus to help the children of a rural primary school recently.

At the beginning of this semester, the Students Union of our school started a series of publicity activities, such as putting up posters around the campus and handing out leaflets, to drum up support. The posters and leaflets specified the kind of books that were wanted and the way the books were collected. The students were very enthusiastic about the project. Teachers also contributed heavily to the project. More than 2,000 books were collected in all, most of them brand new or gently used. The books can be divided into two categories: literature and popular science. All the books, together with 1,000 new books purchased by our university, were sent to a primary school in a remote mountainous region in Guizhou Province to help it set up a reading room.

Encouraged by the success, the Students Union is now considering more projects to collect used books for children in less developed areas of China. (175 words)

六级

Directions: Comment on the phenomenon and suggest measures to address the issue. Nowadays star chasing is prevalent among many teenagers. They take pop stars as their idols, imitating their way of talking, following their style of dressing, and seeking every chance to meet them in person at great expenses.

这道大学英语六级作文试题要求考生评论青少年追星现象。这种作文试题属于分析现象型,其特点是提出一个社会现象,要求考生分析这一现象并提出应对措施。

本文可以写三段。

第一段提出所要讨论的社会现象。提出现象的方法有多种,有一种行之有效的方法叫故事法,即在文章开头讲一个可喜、可愕、可悲或可叹的小故事,让读者在不知不觉中被吸引到文章里。我们可以在本文开头段讲一个悲惨的故事——去年一个上海女孩在所崇拜的偶像订婚后自杀身亡,以此引出青少年追星的社会现象。

第二段对这一现象展开分析。我们不妨从分析青少年追星的原因下筆。分析原因没有标准答案,考生可以根据自己的知识储备自由发挥。为了使分析深入透彻,最好从两三个方面展开。就本文而言,我们不妨从以下两个方面分析青少年追星的原因:第一,心理原因;第二,媒体影响。这两个方面都要略作展开。比如,在分析心理原因时,可以援引一些权威机构的研究来增强说服力;在分析媒体影响时,可以列举黄金时段播出的名人访谈节目及大量专门谈论明星的社交媒体。需要注意的是,分析追星的原因时不能泛泛而论,必须紧紧扣住青少年,否则就是扣题不紧。

本文的结尾段可以先指出在大多数情况下青少年追星并没什么大不了,只有过了头才会成为问题;然后建议家长和教育者在处理青少年追星时要正确地看待这一问题。

下面请看参考范文:

Selena Zhang, a 19-year-old Shanghai girl, committed suicide last year after her favourite star got engaged, leaving her loved ones heartbroken. Though such extreme examples are rare, a recent survey shows that a whopping 76.2 percent of teenagers in China admit being star chasers.

Psychologists believe that people have a subconscious desire to idolize someone who is better, greater or richer. That is why teenagers, especially girls, worship stars they see as good-looking or talented. A Johns Hopkins University study shows that teens find companionship and confidence by participating in activities related to their idols. The media have also made their contribution. Apart from TV talk shows running in prime time that are exclusively about celebrities, there are now numerous social media devoted to blogging about stars. Bombarded with details of celebrities lives, it is only natural for the young to be obsessed with stars.

In most cases, caring about celebs is no big deal. It is only when it goes overboard that celebrity worship becomes a problem. So parents and educators should put the issue in perspective when dealing with teenagers chasing stars. (184 words)

语言亮点借鉴:

1. Selena Zhang, a 19-year-old Shanghai girl, committed suicide last year after her favourite star got engaged, leaving her loved ones heartbroken. 去年,19岁的上海女孩赛琳娜·张在她喜欢的明星订婚后自杀身亡,这让她的亲人悲痛欲绝。leaving her loved ones heartbroken 是现在分词短语作状语,表示结果。

2. The media have also made their contribution. 媒体也起了作用。

3. In most cases, caring about celebs is no big deal. 在大多数情况下,关注名人并没有什么大不了。celeb = celebrity名人。no big deal 没什么大不了。

4. It is only when it goes overboard that celebrity worship becomes a problem. 只有当崇拜名人过了头才会成为问题。go overboard 做得过分(或过火)。

5. So parents and educators should put the issue in perspective when dealing with teenagers chasing stars. 所以,家长和教育者在处理青少年追星时应当正确地认识这个问题。put…in perspective 正确地看待(或判断)。
