Directions: Suppose your university is seeking students’ opinions on whether university canteens should be open to the public. You are now to write an essay to express your view. You will have 30 minutes for the task. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
這道大學英語四級作文試題要求考生論述大學食堂是否應當向公眾開放??忌鷮@個問題的回答就是文章的論點。論點本身并不重要,考生的回答既可以是肯定的,也可以是否定的,關鍵是要能自圓其說。
本文宜寫三個段落。第一段先提出所要討論的話題,然后亮出自己的觀點——大學食堂應當為大學生和教職工專用,即大學食堂不應向公眾開放。第二段論證自己的這個觀點。我們不妨從三個方面展開。首先,食堂不僅僅是一個吃飯的地方,它還是一個學生放松、恢復精力和培養歸屬感的空間。因此,學校食堂必須保持安靜和清潔,不受任何干擾。其次,食堂的空間有限,在就餐高峰時段連大學生都覺得難以找到空位,所以大學食堂無法容納大批社會上的就餐者。最后還有安全方面的擔憂。在向社會開放的大學食堂里,大學生經常發現他們的包或手機被偷。第三段先指出學校食堂除了向學生提供有營養的食物,它還是一個學生聚會和培養歸屬感的社交中心。然后水到渠成地重述觀點:大學食堂似乎不應向公眾開放。下面請看參考范文:
Should university canteens be open to the public? This is a topic heatedly discussed on campus recently. As far as I can see, school cafeterias should be exclusively for college students and faculty members.
Canteens are more than just a place to eat. It’s a space where students relax, recharge and build a sense of community. So it is necessary to keep the university canteen quiet and clean, free from any disruption. Another reason is school canteens’ limited space, which is hardly adequate to accommodate swarms of non-student diners. College students already find it difficult to find a vacant seat in canteens during peak hours. There are also safety concerns. It is not uncommon to hear college students find their bags or mobile phones stolen in school dining halls accessible to the public.
Apart from offering students nutritious food, canteens serve as a social hub where students can gather together and foster a sense of belonging. It seems to me that university cafeterias should not be open to the general public. (171 words)
語言亮點借鑒:
1. As far as I can see, school cafeterias should be exclusively for college students and faculty members. 依我看,學校食堂應當為大學生和教職工專用。as far as I can see依我看。exclusively僅僅,專門地。
2. Another reason is school canteens’ limited space, which is hardly adequate to accommodate swarms of non-student diners.另一個原因是學校食堂的空間有限,這使得它們幾乎不能容納大批的校外就餐者。swarms of成群的,大批的。
3. It is not uncommon to hear college students find their bags or mobile phones stolen in school dining halls accessible to the public. 在向公眾開放的學校食堂里,經常聽說大學生發現他們的包或手機被偷。“It is not uncommon to hear…”(經常聽說……)是一個雙重否定結構,表達肯定的意思。
4. Apart from offering students nutritious food, canteens serve as a social hub where students can gather together and foster a sense of belonging. 除了向學生提供營養豐富的食物,食堂還是一個社交中心,學生可以在那里聚會并培養歸屬感。apart from除了……(外)還。serve as用作。
六級
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay that begins with the sentence “Nowadays more and more college students have come to realize social practice and academic learning are equally important.” 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.
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。本題要求考生論證的觀點是社會實踐與專業學習同樣重要。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。由于專業學習對大學生的重要性已經深入人心、不言而喻,本文需要重點論述的是社會實踐對大學生的重要性。我們抓住了這個關鍵,寫作思路就會清晰起來:從社會實踐對大學生的重要性的角度展開論證。
本文可以寫三個段落。第一段先提出論點——如今越來越多的大學生開始意識到社會實踐與專業學習同樣重要。然后我們再引用媒體上的大量報道佐證這個觀點,此為破題。
第二段論述社會實踐對大學生的重要性。我們可以從兩個方面展開論證。首先,大學生參加社會實踐能夠獲得現實世界的經驗并培養他們的工作技能。由于社會實踐的種類繁多,我們不妨以兼職工作和志愿者工作為例談參加社會實踐的益處。首先,大學生無論是在餐館里當服務員,還是在養老院里照顧老人,都能培養一些工作技能,如交流、團隊合作、時間管理和解決問題等。這樣,當他們走上工作崗位時就會比別人領先一步。其次,社會實踐還讓大學生有機會把課堂學到的知識應用到實際工作中,這反過來又會促進他們的專業學習。
本文可以用建議法結尾。第三段先承認專業學習在大學生活中很重要,接著指出社會實踐是大學生培養工作技能和了解現實世界的關鍵,最后建議大學生在專業學習和社會實踐之間找到適當的平衡。下面請看參考范文:
Nowadays more and more college students have come to realize social practice and academic learning are equally important. Stories abound in the media that an increasing number of students are actively involved in social practice while at college.
Participating in social practice helps college students gain real-world experience and develop work-related skills. For instance, whether it be waiting tables at a restaurant or caring for the elderly in a nursing home, social practice helps young people develop such skills as communication, teamwork, time-management and problem-solving. They will be one step ahead when it comes to entering the workplace, already equipped with some of the key skills needed for the role. On top of that, social practice gives college students the opportunity to put what they learned in the classroom into actual work, which, in turn, promotes their academic learning.
Academic pursuits are important in university students’ school life, but social practice is crucial for them to build job skills and know the real world. So it is advised that college students find the right balance between academic learning and social practice. (181 words)
語言亮點借鑒:
1. Stories abound in the media that an increasing number of students are actively involved in social practice while at college. 媒體上有大量的報道,說越來越多的學生在上大學期間積極參加社會實踐。story新聞報道。abound大量存在,有許多。while at college(在上大學期間)是時間狀語從句的省略結構,省略了從句的主語they和are。
2. For instance, whether it be waiting tables at a restaurant or caring for the elderly in a nursing home, social practice helps young people develop such skills as communication, teamwork, time-management and problem-solving. 比如,無論是在餐館里當服務員還是在養老院里照顧老人,社會實踐幫助年輕人培養諸如交流、團隊合作、時間管理和解決問題之類的技能。whether引導的是一個讓步狀語從句。這種從句既可以用陳述語氣,也可以用虛擬語氣。
3. They will be one step ahead when it comes to entering the workplace, already equipped with some of the key skills needed for the role. 因為已經具備了工作中需要的一些重要技能,他們在進入職場時會領先一步。equipped with是一個過去分詞短語,做狀語,表示原因。
4. So it is advised that college students find the right balance between academic learning and social practice. 所以建議大學生在專業學習和社會實踐之間找到適當的平衡?!癷t is advised that…”是一個提建議的常用句型,后面的從句要使用虛擬語氣,即謂語動詞使用should跟原形動詞,should可以省略。
