It Pays to Be Honest
Direction: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition
on the topic: It Pays to Be Honest. You should write at least 150 words
according to the outline given below in Chinese.
1.當(dāng)前社會(huì)上存在許多不誠(chéng)實(shí)的現(xiàn)象,。
2.誠(chéng)實(shí)利人利已,,做人應(yīng)該誠(chéng)實(shí)。
(二)主語(yǔ)變化
主語(yǔ)必須要符合英美等西方人的思維習(xí)慣。中國(guó)自古以來(lái)就有“天人合一”的觀點(diǎn),,強(qiáng)調(diào)人和自然的渾然一體,,因此中文習(xí)慣以人作主語(yǔ)。而英語(yǔ)強(qiáng)調(diào)客觀,,主語(yǔ)以物或抽象概念居多,。因此,當(dāng)我們要講述一個(gè)經(jīng)驗(yàn)性的事實(shí)或者常理時(shí),,不要過(guò)多使用“I think that",, 議論文中過(guò)多使用“I”容易影響文章的客觀性。使用非人稱(chēng)主語(yǔ)就可以解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題,。非人稱(chēng)主語(yǔ),,即沒(méi)有生命的東西充當(dāng)主語(yǔ),。下面是四種常用的主語(yǔ)變換形式及其典型例句和句型:
(1)物稱(chēng)主語(yǔ)
1. The constant change of the course of the Changjiang
River in history helped form a great
many lakes in the areas around Wuhan.
在歷史上,,由于長(zhǎng)江不斷改道在武漢地區(qū)形成了眾多的湖泊。
2. An idea suddenly stuck her.
她突然想到了一個(gè)主意,。
3. From the moment we entered the house, care and kindness surrounded us on
every side.
一進(jìn)這個(gè)房子,,我們就隨時(shí)隨地承受到關(guān)懷與照顧,。
4. The truth finally dawned on the girl.
這個(gè)女孩最終明白了真相。
(2)it 當(dāng)主語(yǔ)
1. It's raining cats and dogs.
正在下傾盆下雨,。
2. It never occurred to me that he was a man who put personal gain above all
else.
我從來(lái)沒(méi)想到他是一個(gè)把個(gè)人利益看得比什么都重要的人,。
3. It is hoped/anticipated that we can communicate with each other well and
establish friendship soon.
希望我們能好好交流并迅速建立友誼。
(3)there + 系動(dòng)詞結(jié)構(gòu)
1. There seems to be no doubt about it.
此事似乎確定無(wú)疑,。
2. There once lived a poor farmer who had four sons.
從前有一個(gè)窮苦的農(nóng)夫,,他有4個(gè)兒子。
3. There comes a time when dying seem preferable to staying alive.
有的時(shí)候覺(jué)得死了似乎比活著好,。
4. There is broad consensus ( of opinion ) in the country on this issue.
對(duì)這一問(wèn)題舉國(guó)上下(輿論)一致,。
5. In the past decade there has been a marked decrease in the number of young
married couples who want to have children.
過(guò)去幾十年里,婚后不要小孩的夫婦明顯增多,。
(4)時(shí)間,、地點(diǎn)名詞作主語(yǔ)
時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)名詞作主語(yǔ)是英語(yǔ)中常見(jiàn)的用法,,是地道的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)方式,,常用see, witness, find 等詞作謂語(yǔ)。
1. Shanghai
first saw the rise of the movement.
這個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)首先在上海興起,。
2. The little town has witnessed many great changes.
這個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)發(fā)生了許多重大的變化,。
( 例文 )
It Pays to Be Honest
As is known to all, "It pays to be honest". Dishonesty can result in
guilty feelings, cause distrust among people and even ruin your reputation
although being honesty may get you into trouble or hurt someone in some cases.
However, dishonesty is rampant in our society. In the first
place, many merchants coax the customers to buy fake commodities. Take my
neighbor Xiao Wang as an example. He bought a TV set with 2,000 yuan a week
ago, but now it doesn't work at all. In the second place, some students cheat
on exams in order to pass the exams or achieve scholarships. Last but not
least, many renowned people cheat the government by evading taxes.
On the contrary, honesty not only brings us honor and friendship,
but also material gains. To begin with, if we are honest, we can earn others'
trust, which in turn gives us self-respect as well as social companionship. So
to sum up, it does pay to be honest.

Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?
Direction: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition
on the topic: Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary? The first sentence has
already been written for you. You should write at least 120-150 words, and base
your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:
1.很多人認(rèn)為有必要舉行英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)考試,理由是……
2.也有人持不同意見(jiàn),,……
3.我的看法和打算是……
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the
College English Test ( CET ).
例文:
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional
component of College English Test. Many people believe it's very necessary to
take such a test. To begin with, as a basic part of the language, spoken
English is getting more and more important in this information age. One won't
achieve much in the intercultural communication unless one can express oneself
well. In other words, fluent English is an indication of one's mastery of the
language. Therefore, a test ought to be designed to assess one's level of
spoken English.
However, some people don't think it necessary to take such a
test. They hold that written exam is enough to indicate one's comprehensive
English level. So long as one doesn't want to study abroad or cooperate with
foreigners in foreign enterprises or companies, one needn't worry about taking
such a test. Because written English enables students not only to read
reference books but also work on Internet. Therefore, in their opinion, a test
of spoken English will only add to the students' burden of sudy and thus it's
vital for students to take it.
I believe it's very necessary for students to take it. On the one
hand, such a test will stimulate students to improve their oral English. On the
other hand, it will help make students more competent in the fierce
competition, and push their English to a higher level. To sum up, with China's
entry into the WTO and the arrival of knowledge economy age, it's more and more
important for students to improve their oral English. Therefore, a test of
spoken English is not only necessary but also vitally important.

How I Finance My College Education
Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a
composition on the topic: How I Finance My College Education. You should write
at least 120 words and you should base your composition ( given in Chinese )
below:
1.上大學(xué)的費(fèi)用(
tuition and fees )可能通過(guò)多種途徑解決.
2.哪種途徑適合我?(說(shuō)明理由)
How I Finance My College Education
Previously in China,
a university education was funded by the government. Nowadays, things have
changed and students must now finance their own education. As a result,
students are now faced with the problem how they can pay for the college
education.
There are several possible ways to raise the money to pay fees
and tuition. First, parents are a source for college funding, as is the case
with most students. Second, scholarships are also available for students with
outstanding academic performance. Third, banks can provide loans to students
who need them without collateral. And many students can take part-time jobs to
help finance their education. In cities such as Beijing
and Shanghai,
there are many part-time job opportunities for students both on and off campus.
Personally, I believe a scholarship is the best way to fund my
education as it not only pays fees and tuition, but also encourages me to study
hard. All in all, we should choose a suitable way to finance our college
education, but we must bear in mind that study is our major task.
How I Finance My College Education
解題思路
(1)審題
本文標(biāo)題是通過(guò)什么樣的途徑來(lái)解決上大學(xué)費(fèi)用的問(wèn)題,,很顯然這是篇問(wèn)題解決型的議論文,。
(2)構(gòu)思
全文可以分三個(gè)自然段。第一自然段可以引出中心議題,,即中國(guó)的高等教育面臨改革,,大學(xué)生必須解決自己的上學(xué)費(fèi)用問(wèn)題。第二段可以說(shuō)明有很多途徑可以解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題,。譬如說(shuō),,依靠父母是最普遍的現(xiàn)象。而優(yōu)秀的大學(xué)生可以申請(qǐng)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金,,窮困的學(xué)生則可申請(qǐng)貸款,。兼職也是大學(xué)生賺取學(xué)費(fèi)的途徑之一。第三段則著重說(shuō)明作者自己的情況,。父母雙雙下崗,,無(wú)力替作者交納學(xué)費(fèi),因此作者必須自力更生解決這一問(wèn)題,。由于作者的所在地并非特困區(qū),,不能申請(qǐng)貸款,因此他選擇了當(dāng)家庭教師,,不僅走出了困境,,還在學(xué)業(yè)上取得了不小的進(jìn)步。提綱如下:
Para.1. TS: Nowadays college students must pay tuition.
Para.2. TS: There are many ways for a student to finance his college education.
DS: depend on parents
DS: apply for scholarships
DS: take loans
DS: take part-time jobs

Reduce Waste on Campus

2.浪費(fèi)的危害,。
3.從我做起,杜絕浪費(fèi),。
例文:
Nowadays, there is too much waste on some campuses. You often see
students leaving their dorm with lights on. You also find that many a student,
after washing their clothes, doesn't bother to turn off the tap, leaving the water
running. If you go to the cafeteria at dinnertime, you are likely to see tables
covered with the remains of all kinds of food.
Waste is very harmful. If you are extravagant with your money,
you will soon be very poor. Likewise, if man recklessly exploits the natural
resources, then he is sure to have a dismal future. What's more, being wasteful
is a bad habit that, like a drug, gradually erodes a human being's virtues.
Once a person grows wasteful, the virtue that is frugality is eroded within him.
Perhaps it is time we attached importance to the old saying
" Waste not, want not." And fighting waste is everybody's business!
As college students, we should strive to reduce waste on campus. With everyone
doing his bit, it will not be long before "the good old days" come
back.

Model essay:
As a general rule, people like to help each other, but there are
occasion when you shouldn't hesitate to say "no". For instance, it is
better to refuse when a child pesters you for sweet food and drinks or for too
many toys. Another example is when a relative would take advantage of your
relationship for a bank loan or promotion at work.
However, we cannot ignore the fact that many people still have a
hard time saying "no", They feel that if they turn down a request
from a relative or friend, they will cause ill feeling within the family or
become unpopular with their acquaintances. A notable case in point is when the
boss asks them to do something which they feel is unreasonable.
It is important to keep in mind that not saying no when you
should say so can sometimes have harmful consequences. For example, if children
are given everything they ask for, they may grow up selfish or spoiled.
Moreover, overindulgence in sweets can lead to poor health. In the end, it is
better to refuse to lend money to people with problems such as gambling or
drinking. Therefore, it is high time that everyone realized the necessity of
saying "no" when one should.
The Two-day Weekend
參考范文1
The advance of science and technology enables people to have more
spare time. Nowadays, we have 5-workday weeks. Therefore, our university and
college students can have much more leisure time. Sports fans can play in the
playground. Those who are interested in social work can join many clubs. Of
course, we also can get part-time jobs to gain some work experience.
There is a growing concern over the students who don't put too
much emphasis on study. Some students always idle away their time, playing
cards, drinking and gambling. These problems are really serious. Taking into
account all these factors, we can safely come to the conclusion that the
students will waste more time if they don't make good use of it.
As a student, busy as I am with my study, I also do many
interesting things such as reading novels, writing articles at the two-day
weekend. As the saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull day.
范文2
Now almost all colleges and universities in China practice a
two-day weekend. With so much spare time in hand, we can fully develop our
interests to make our life more colorful. We can also do some cleaning, go
shopping, and get ready for next week's study. We may also find a part-time job
and have more knowledge of the world off campus.
However, the two-day weekend may also bring some problems. Some
students may not make good use of time, who tend to stay up late playing cards
or chatting. As a result, they may feel exhausted during the workday. Some even
break the disciplines and go traveling, which is rather unsafe.
In my view, we should have our weekends well planned. As to me, I
will listen to pop music, read some literary works and write to my best
friends. In this way, I will refresh myself and get prepared for next week's
study.
