Ⅱ 英語四級作文範文多篇
1、北京奧運
The Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics logo has a single Chinese character on a traditional red Chinese seal. The English words "Beijing 2008" are written with a Chinese brush below it. At the bottom of the picture, there are the five rings of Olympic Games. The figure in the logo resembles a runner or dancer and the Chinese character "jing" which means "capital".
The image carries the message that today's China is not only a nation with a long and glorious history, but also one full of modern dynamics. First and foremost, this logo is a journey to the future, the emblem for China moving towards the 2008 Olympic Games. What is more, it is a symbol of the city's promise to make the Games a success. Accordingly, this emblem represents the heart of an ancient culture embracing the modern world, the spirit of a people moving towards a new destiny.
In my view, first of all, the Olympic Game represents the spirit of sports. Arms flung wide, it invites all people and the world to share in the city's history, beauty, energy, and its future. In addition, it is a gesture of friendship and hope that the community of nations will unite in peace through sports.
參考譯文
北京2008年夏季奧運會會徽在傳統的紅色中國印章上刻著一枚漢字。漢字下方用中國毛筆書寫了「北京2008」的英文字樣。圖畫底部是奧運的五環標志。會徽中的人物象徵了一位跑步者或舞蹈者,而漢字「京」的意思是「首都」。
這一會徽表達了當今的中國不僅個擁有悠久燦爛的歷史國度,更是一個充滿了現代活力的國家。首先,這一會徽是一次奔向未來之旅,是中國邁向2008年奧運會的象徵。其次,它是北京承諾將成功舉辦奧運的標志。因此,這一會徽代表了一種悠久文化擁抱現代世界的信心,以及中國人民邁向新征程的精神。
在我看來,奧林匹克運動會首先代表了體育的精神。它伸展了雙臂邀請全世界及其人民分享北京的歷史、魅力、能量及未來。此外,它是友誼的象徵,以及希望國際社會通過體育運動進而和平共處。
2、留學
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Studying Abroad. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:
1)目前很多中國學生出國留學,
2)出國留學的好處,
3)我的看法。
Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents. Importance should be attached to studying abroad.
There are a great many advantages of studying overseas. First and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values. What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.
Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. In the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have. Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is concive to the growth of adolescents.
3、網路
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Internet. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、 互聯網使用的現狀,
2、 大學生是否應該使用互聯網,人們的看法不同,
3、 我的看法。
In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet. As is known to all, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work』s needs.
On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life. As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.
Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overinlgence. After all,Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.
4、考試
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Views on Examinations. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1)大學都用考試來衡量學生的成績,
2)考生可能帶來的副作用,
3)我對考試的看法。
In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.
To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.
In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students』 academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
5、老師
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The most unforgettable Teacher I ever Know. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1)我生活中最難忘的老師是……
2)為什麼他(或她)令我難以忘懷,
3)結論。
In my life I have met a great many teachers who are really worth recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable one I ever know is my English teacher.
What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities. First of all, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening of a passion for learning. He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field. Second, I was attracted by his lively wit. I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.
Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.
6、求學信
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter applying for admission into a college or university. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

8、投訴信
Directions: You live in a room in college which you share with another student. You find it very difficult to work there because your roommate always has friends visiting. Write a letter to the Accommodation Officer at the college.
1)要求下學期換一個新房間,
2)解釋原因,
3)要求單間。
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next semester. I would prefer a single room, as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient.
I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my roommate』s inconsiderate behavior. For one thing, his friends are constantly visiting him; for another, he regularly holds noisy parties. In these circumstances, I find it difficult to concentrate on my studies, and I am falling behind in my assignments.
I am sure you will agree that the only solution is for me to move into a room of my own. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me, preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

Ⅲ 英語四級作文範文
The Positive and Negative Aspects of Sports
1.體育運動的好處.
2.體育運動可能帶來的副作用.
3.我參加體育運動的體會.
範文:
To a Chinese, the task of learning English well is not easy. So I, like many other English learners, have met with difficulties in learning English ring the past seven years. But I managed to overcome them and made much progress.
The spelling and meaning of words can be said to be the first difficulty I met as a beginner. But I found our my own way to deal with them. As to spelling, I never copied a new work again and again to remember it, but tried to find its relevance to the sound. In fact, as long as I can read the word out, I can write it out. As to the meaning, I rarely recite its Chinese translation but often put the word into the sentence to learn its meaning. Moreover, if you use a word quite often, its spelling and meaning will be no problem. After all, we are learning English in order to use it.
Grammar and idioms may be another difficulty. But I have also got over it. I have not read lots of grammar books. But I spent much time reading the articles written by native speakers or specialists in English. By doing so, I came to gain 「a sense of English language」. I began to gain a feel for which sentences are 「good English」 and which are not.
Finally, I want to say that overcoming all these difficulties requires perseverance. In the past seven years I spent at least an hour on English each day. I believe this is an important reason why I am able to make progress in learning English.

Ⅳ 英語四級作文範文(兩篇)
Credit Cards
Personal credit cards are becoming more common in China. Banks and other financial institutions are encouraging their customers to change the way they buy things. Credit cards, otherwise known as 「plastic money」, are being offered on very good terms to encourage the change. Consumers will be able to 「buy now, pay later」, and many see this as an advantage.
But people need to be careful. There are dangers associated with credit cards. Some people find it very easy to exceed their budget. They are tempted to purchase goods that they do not really need, and can become quickly overburdened by debt. The credit cards often charge a high rate of interest, which exacerbates the problems for these people.
However, used wisely credit cards can improve the quality of people』s lives. They can give people access to money to meet sudden unplanned expenses. Properly handled, they can let people control their expenditure and the monthly statements provide a record of where their money has gone.
Ⅵ 什麼時候開始准備英語四級作文需要背幾個模板
我認為吧,看你的基礎了,如果基礎不夠好的話,就老老實實背單詞,背內片語,學例句容。現在就得開始。。
作文最遲考前一個月的樣子開始寫,每周1-2篇,請英語好一點的同學提提修改建議。當然,網上也有自動批改的,句酷網,搜搜看看[www.pigai.org],有各種模擬題什麼的,注冊了就能用不要錢的。。
每天一篇太過了,你是不可能做得到的- -[我是這樣子認為的,不要見怪],背模板不如背句子和片語,如今模板不吃香的了。。
最後提示一點,作文最重要的是自己獨到的見解,當然要表達出來。。有思想的文章才能拿高分,而不是麻木模仿。。
祝你好運~_~

1、暈屏症—Cybersickness
隨著智能時代的到來,越來越多的人不自覺的成為了新科技的奴隸,智能手機的使用尤能說明這一點。無論是上下班的路上,還是賦閑在家,無論是休閑娛樂,還是聊天購物,智能手機總是與我們形影不離,對於智能手機帶給人們的便利之處我們不可否認,但是其弊端也日益顯現,看看「低頭族」「僵屍族」這些網路熱詞吧,從中我們不難發現無時無刻使用智能手機給我們造成的危害,但這些危害常常為沉迷於智能手機的人們所忽略。分析利弊,是英語四級作文的關鍵,只知其利,不知其弊,也不是一篇完美的作文。下面我們就來分享一篇文章——刷屏刷到吐你得「暈屏症」了(Do you suffer from cybersickness It causes nausea while scrolling on phones),認識到智能手機可能會帶給我們的危害,希望它能警醒我們,讓我們能夠更加合理的使用智能手機。
Do you suffer from cybersickness It causes nausea while scrolling on phones
The rise of mobile phones has been blamed for a number of social ills, but your smart phone may also be making you physically sick as well. Scientists have identified a condition called 「cybersickness」, which they say is the digital version of motion sickness. The phenomenon, which affects up to 80 percent of the population who own smartphones or tablets, leads to feelings of nausea and unsteadiness. It is caused by seeing fast motion on a screen and covers anything from a car chase in a film to scrolling through web pages on your phone. The more realistic the visual content is, the higher your chances of getting cybersickness. The condition was identified in a piece in the New York Times in which British and US experts said that it needed addressing. Cyriel Diels, a cognitive psychologist and human factors researcher at Coventry University』s centre for Mobility and Transport, said: 「It』s a fundamental problem that』s kind of been swept under the carpet in the tech instry.」 「It』s a natural response to an unnatural environment.」 Motion sickness leaves sufferers feeling ill because they feel movement in your muscles and your inner ear but do not see it. The mismatch in digital sickness is the opposite—you see movement on the screen but do not feel it. The effect is the same and the symptoms include a headache, wanting to throw up, confusion and the need to sit down. Often cybersickness manifests itself in a subtle way and sufferers put it down to stress or eyestrain.Steven Rauch, a professor of otolaryngology at Harvard Medical School, said: 「Your sense of balance is different than other senses in that it has lots of inputs.」 When those inputs don』t agree, that』s when you feel dizziness and nausea 「Some studies that have been carried out into cybersickness found that women are more susceptible than men, the New York Times reported. Those who have Type A』 personalities—meaning they are confident and assertive—are more likely to suffer from cybersickness as well. Among those who have reported experiencing the condition have been video gamers who spend hours playing fast paced games. Cinema-goers have struggled with some scenes in action movies which have quick cuts and fast editing—and virtual reality has made the problem even worse. Jonathan Weinstein, a professor at the Kanbar Institute for Film and Television at New York University』s Tisch School of the Arts, said: 「The idea is to get audiences to feel like participants in the action rather than outside observers of the action. Engineers at Oculus VR, the virtual headset manufacturer, have admitted that digital motion sickness is one of their biggest problems.

行動電話的廣泛使用被指引發了諸多社會弊端,不僅如此,手中的智能機也會讓你覺得身體不適。科學家們把這種狀態稱為「暈屏」,是暈車的電子版。80%的手機和平板用戶會暈屏,他們會有惡心、眩暈的感覺。造成暈屏的原因是瀏覽了含移動內容的屏幕,可能是看了有追車鏡頭的電影,也可能是瀏覽了手機上滾動的內容頁。視覺內容越真實,暈屏的發生率就越高。《紐約時報》的一篇文章報道了這種症狀。英美專家在文章中稱,這個問題需要著手解決。認知心理學家、考文垂大學移動運輸中心的人為因素研究員西里爾·蒂爾斯表示:「對弊端置之不理算得上是科技產業一個最根本的問題了。」「這是對非自然環境作出的自然反應。」暈動症會令患者感到肌肉和內耳在移動,但實際上並沒有看到它們在移動。而暈屏症恰恰相反——你看到屏幕在移動,實際上卻感受不到。二者的影響卻是相同的,其症狀為頭疼、想吐、思緒混亂,需要靜坐下來。暈屏症狀通常不易察覺,患者會以為是因為壓力大或者視覺疲勞引起的。哈佛醫學院耳鼻喉科教授史蒂芬·勞奇表示:「與其他感官不同,當有大量信息輸入時,人的平衡感會發生改變。」「當這些信息輸入沒有被感官接受,你就會覺得頭暈、惡心。」《紐約時報》稱,一些有關暈屏的研究發現,女性比男性更容易暈屏。A型人格,即果斷自信的人,也更容易暈屏。「有暈屏症狀的通常是連續幾小時玩快節奏視頻游戲的玩家。看動作片的觀眾在看到快速剪輯和切換的鏡頭時會不舒服,這是因為虛擬實境會加重暈屏。紐約大學提斯克藝術學院康貝爾影視研究所的教授喬納森·溫斯坦說:「動作片就是想讓觀眾身臨其境,而不是當一個局外人。」虛擬實境游戲頭盔製造商「歐酷拉」公司的工程師們坦言,暈屏也是他們面臨的最大問題之一。
