這道大學英語四級作文試題屬于分析現象型作文。此類型題目的特點是提出一個社會現象或問題,要求考生分析。本題要求考生分析線上課的優缺點并提出改進方法。就像我們拍照需要聚焦一樣,寫作文也需要突出重點,不能眉毛胡子一把抓。就本文而言,我們宜把網課的優缺點作為本文論述的重點。至于如何改進網課,我們只需在結尾段中簡略地提一條建議即可。
這篇作文可以寫三段。
第一段先指出自從新冠暴發以來,全國各地的學校和大學都給學生開設了線上課。然后指出凡事都有利有弊,線上課也有其優點和缺點。這樣我們就引出了本文所討論的話題。
第二段分析線上課的優點和缺點。線上課的優點和缺點有很多,我們可以擇其要者論述。比如,我們可以先指出線上課最顯著的優點是方便。然后提供一些細節作為支撐:學生們可以穿著拖鞋、品著一杯茶,在自己舒適的家里上課。他們只需要互聯網連接和一臺電腦。接著我們再指出線上課的缺點。雖然線上課對一些學生效果非常好,但并不適合每個人,尤其是那些不自律和缺乏學習動力的學生,因為他們很容易被電子游戲或其他線上娛樂分心。
本文可以用建議法結尾,即第三段針對線上課的缺點提出改進建議。我們先指出線上課能夠代替在實體教室里進行的傳統學習,尤其是在危機時期。然后建議學校開發一些工具,以密切關注學生在虛擬教室里的行為。

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, schools and universities across the country have offered online classes to their students. This is a great boon to millions of students confined to their home during the pandemic. But just as a coin has two sides, online classes have their advantages and disadvantages.
The most significant advantage of online classes is convenience. Students can take classes in the comfort of their own home, wearing slippers and sipping a cup of tea. All they need is an internet connection and a computer. But online classes are not without drawbacks. While remote learning works incredibly well for some students, it is not for everyone, especially those unself-disciplined or unmotivated students, who are easily distracted by video games or other online entertainment.
Online classes are a great substitute for traditional learning in the physical classroom, especially in times of crisis. For maximum effect, schools and universities are advised to develop tools to ensure that students’ actions are closely monitored in the virtual classroom. (166 words)

這道大學英語六級作文試題屬于闡釋觀點型。此類型題目的特點是提出一個觀點,請考生論證這個觀點的正確性。這道題要求考生論證的觀點是,教育的一個重要目標是幫助學生學會如何學習。我們在審題時要善于簡化題目,透過復雜的表述看到題目的本質。所謂幫助學生學會如何學習,其實就是培養學生的學習能力。因此這道題其實是要求考生論證培養學生學習能力的重要性。我們抓住了這個本質,寫作思路就會清晰起來:從分析學習能力對學生重要作用的角度展開論證。
本文可以寫三段。
第一段先提出論點:教育的一個重要目標是幫助學生學會如何學習,然后引用上海大學的一項研究佐證這個觀點。此為破題。
第二段論證為什么教育的一個重要目標是幫助學生學會如何學習,即論證培養學生學習能力的重要性。我們不妨從學習能力有助于學生取得事業成功的角度展開論證。由于職場變化迅速,現在的畢業生不能再像過去那樣找到一份工作就能一生持有。最有能力學習新技能的人會如魚得水,而那些沒有學習能力的人會因缺乏競爭力而被替代。因此,學習新技能的能力可以幫助學生保持領先,甚至開啟新機遇的大門。
本文可以用建議法結尾。第三段先總結上文,指出在這個不斷變化的世界上,學習新事物的能力使學生具備事業成功所需的知識和技能。最后水到渠成地建議學校更加重視提高學生的自主學習能力。

It is widely accepted that an important goal of education is to help students learn how to learn. A recent Shanghai University study found that 84.2% of the educators polled think that college students should graduate with the skill to learn for the rest of their lives.
Developing college students’ learning ability is the best way to help them succeed in their future career. With the workplace changing rapidly, it’s no longer the case that a graduate finds a job and keeps it all his life. Workers who are best able to learn new skills are most likely to survive and thrive, but those who aren’t will stop being competitive and get replaced. It stands to reason that the ability to learn new skills helps students stay on top and even opens the door to new opportunities.
The ability to learn new things will equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their career in the constantly changing world. So schools and universities should attach more importance to improving students’ ability to learn on their own. (180 words)
