TASK2: There are many problems associatedwith mobile phonestoday. To what extent do the advantages of mobilephones outweighthe disadvantage? As concerns mount over the advent of new technology, peoplenowadays hold a mixed feeling toward the use of mobile phones. Phenomena areidentified that mobile phones, especially smart phones, make quite a few usersdistracted from their work or studies, who are often seen preoccupie with miscellaneousapplications. However, there are still numbers of people enjoy a wide range od fconvenient and effective services mobile phones provide, which, to some extent,have already been integrated into people’s routine life. The main criticism concerning mobile phones squarely fallsinto the distraction. Usually could we see the situation where people sittingaround a table do nothing but to deeply concentrate on their phones, withshamefully little real communication with people beside. Mobile phones,therefore, seem to make users alienated or aloof sometimes, and moreover,people gradually form the habit of interacting with each other online or bytexting messages rather than direct meeting or talking. Apart from thedisadvantages mentioned, long time usage of mobile phones can also bring physicalharm to people’s health which is exposed to much radiation. Although mobilephones are blamed for those aspects, I still doubt people would choose to livewithout them or neglect their undeniably convenient offers. Firstly,long-distance and real-time communications by mobile phones enable peopleliving in different places to contact each other with efficiency. Accordingly,many multinationals, which frequently hold video-or teleconferencing, are amongthe biggest beneficiaries, saving amounts of commuting cost. In addition,mobiles with data have essentially accelerated the spread of information. Thelatest news at present is only a click or touch away, whose timely pushnotification services are irresistible for people bustling about in thisinformation age. Furthermore, there are many useful applications that can evenmonitor and evaluate the users’ health and act as a personal general practitioner,giving medical advice when it is necessary. Those applications are wellanticipated to improve users’ life quality. The examples I ha ve given are just a few of the many thatcan elucidate the advantages of mobile phones. Although at tentions should beattached to some problems caused, those are still a small part of the wholepicture. Besides, some of the problems, such as radiation in particular, arepotentially to be solved in the future as technology and science areprogressing with momentum. 2(2015年12月英语六级作文 1.Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short eaasy based on the pic ture below. You should focus on the difficulty in acquiring useful information in spite of advanced information technology. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. Nowadays,more and more hi-tech tools,such as calculator,computer,etc,appear in our daily life.we use them wherever and whenever we are,so that our life becomes easier and more comfortable than before. However,does anyone think about what problems science and technology have caused to happen in this world?To some degree,it's more serious than that we consider.We human indeed use them to improve our living standard,but on the other hand,we are becoming lazier,more reliable than we used to be.All day long those hi-tech products accompany us,then we have either no space or time to think,aswell,communication between each other decreases,and what takes place of it is the huge indifference and gap among human. To solve these problems,we should in no time take measures to do with them.Firstly,communicate with others and think on your own more.Secondly,decrease the times you use hi-tech tools.For the advantages of technology,we should absorb,at the meantime,be independent and abandon the short-comings.Thus,we could combine technology and human progress much closer and not lose ourselves in this modern society. 2.Direction:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should focus on the harm caused by misleading information online. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 范文一: The harm caused by misleading information online It is true that the internet has brought us great convenience and efficiency, however, as the data grows at an exponential rate, the severity of misleading information arises. Deceptive news or tips travel fast online, and worse still, they may shadow our routine life or even hinder the progress of our society. Lack of enough consideration, we are easily misled by false information which always appears in bulk on the webpage. Some will alter their plans to deal with the so-called disaster but only affect their normal life; a few may even go further to violate social security and economic trend. Moreover, if the misleading news isn’t corrected soon, there may be a trust crisis between individuals and the government. For example, the nuclear leakage in Japan in 2011 has caused great panic in Eastern China, where thousands of people went out to rob salt after the rumor that salt can prevent radiation, and ended in a turbulence in the domestic market. To prevent misleading information spreading, government should set up laws to regulate online news while individuals need to judge independently. Only when they work in hand will the harm of false information be diminished to the end. 3(2015年6月英语六级作文 试卷一:知识与实践 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the s aying “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” You can cite one example or two t o illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 150 but no more than 200 words. 范文: Practice is the Key to Knowledge Nowadays almost every person has a clear notion about the importance of knowledge, with which we can make great difference to our world. However, the contribution of practice should also be awarded. Practice is considered significant because it can turn abstract ideas into tangible results. Only through practice can we truly develop our own understanding about the essence of the new knowledge, or else the treasure of knowledge would still be words printed on papers. Moreover, the vilification of new theories requires us to focus more on the practical side, which helps people to learn better compared with the mechanical way of reading and memorizing. In addition, practice makes people acquire information in an active way, thus more innovative thoughts are likely to be generated in the process and then applied to make our future life more exciting. As far as I am concerned, practice is essential for people to understand, to review and to optimize the information we receive. It is practice that produces enjoyable life and makes knowledge truly valuable. 试卷二:好奇心 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on Albert Einstein’s remark “I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious.” You can cite one example or two to illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 150 but no more than 200 words. 范文: The above saying from Einstein vividly echoes a piece of quotation: stay hungry; stay foolish, which is put forward by Steven Jobs, the late CEO of Apple Inc. Undoubtedly, both of the two great men attach importance to curiosity. To some extent, we may safely maintain that without curiosity, without success. In the first place, curiosity is the premise of innovation, which can be seen as the key to success. Besides Einstein, a case in point is Steven Jobs, who always keeps curious, devoted to innovation. So, there is no exaggeration to say that the success of Apple Inc doesn’t suppre ss us at all. In the second place, the quality of being curious provides us with the drive to go forward. To put it another way, where there is curiosity, there is advancement. For example, if a scientist desires to make progress in his research community, he must hold a curious heart; otherwise, his research will eventually go into a corner. In conclusion, it is not too much to say that curiosity plays an indispensable role both in personal and corporate success. So, it is wise for us to bear in mind great men’s sayings concerning cu riosity and practice them as much as possible. 试卷三:做好小事情 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying‖If you cannot do great things ,do small things in a great way.” You can cite one example or two to illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 150 but no more than 200 words. 范文: There is no doubt that many people want to be great and successful, but only a few can climb to the top and be admired by the world. However, it doesn’t mean that most of us are losers. Actuall y everyone can achieve high by doing small things in a great way. We have to admit that there are something that we cannot accomplish right now, but it isn’t the excuse for us to stop trying. Being great needs time and patience, so only when all small accomplishments add up can many impossibilities gradually turn to possibilities. At least, one won’t regret f or not making effort to achieve the goal. For example, one may doesn’t have the resources or train ing on how to be a world-class musician, but by constant practice of every short piece of music, he can still bring happiness, comfort and inspiration to his family members and friends, then this person is great in the eyes of the audiences. Therefore, never cease the pace on the road to our dreams. As long as we stick to our goal and be serious to whatever related to it, we can be considered as great. 4(2014年12月英语六级作文 真题一:科技 题目: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss whether technology is indispensable in education. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 范文: From this cartoon, we clearly see that the student is asking his teacher about whether or not he can use some tech support to figure out the problem in his math class. What’s behind the cartoon is the fact that nowadays students become increasingly dependent on technological devices to help them with their school work. In my opinion, with the advances in technology, students can learn more efficiently. First of all, technology provides infinite resources for learning. When our parents were students, they could only learn from their teachers, while nowadays, we can learn much more from the Internet. Second, it’s more convenient to learn with tech support. For example, I got enrolled in a Spanish class in an online school called Hu jiang Online Class. All it requires is a PC or a smart phone, and I can learn the lectures anytime and anywhere. Lastly, it’s more economical to learn online. Besides the courses, free Apps are also easily accessible. As for me, tech support has become an important part in my daily study. I will continue to learn in this way, and I believe that we can learn more efficiently if we are able to utilize the technologies around us. 2014年12月英语六级作文 真题二:学无止境 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss whether there is a shortcut to learning. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 范文: The comic is an ironical illustration that it is unadvisable to search for a shortcut to learning. The student tries to find a book about how to do well in school without studying in the library, only to be told that it is unrealistic and impractical. The discussion of whether there is a shortcut to learning is essentially the requesting for a supreme learning method – a panacea every learner wishes for. In my opinion, the shortcut to learning does exist. It is the combination of diligence and intelligence. As Thomas Edison says, ―Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.‖ On one hand, hard work is the premise and prerequisite for achieving academic success. Even the most resourceful ones have to devote their time studying and reading, because knowledge does not go automatically into the brain. All efforts will be futile if we idle away our time. On the other hand, it is undeniable that there are ways to improve learning efficiency, especially with the support of technology like the Internet. Better learners are always the ones with cleverer learning skills. To sum up, only when we diligently and skillfully can we achieve academic success. 2014年12月英语六级作文 真题三:学历歧视 题目: Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss what qualities an employer should look for in job applicant. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 范文: According to the picture, an employer turns down a job applicant, for his degree is less advanced than the other applicants, even though he has a good resume. Actually, what’s behind the cartoon is the tendency that employers focus on academic performance when hiring. No one disputes that a college or higher degree opens doors. Despite that, as far as I’m concerned, academic degree should not be the primary criteria in selecting talents. First of all, academic degrees only represent the applicants’ proficiency in their school work, and cannot demonstrate their personality or other abilities. For instance, the responsibility of a human resources manager is to deal with people, and thus it requires advanced people skill which is by no means shown in the diploma. Second, emphasis on degrees may stall the development of the company. They will lose real talents if they judge people only by their educational background, while it is often the case that college drop-outs like Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, etc., run wildly successful enterprises. Therefore, instead of running after applicants with higher degrees, companies should become more concerned about what it takes to do the job and what a college education actually provides. 5. 2014年六月 For this part , your are alloed 30 minutes to write an essay explaining why it is unwise to judge a person by their appearance. You can give explain to illustrate your point .You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200words。 There is an old saying that people never judge a book from its cover. From my point of view, this saying also applies to our attitudes towards others: never judge a person from their appearance. Because you never know one person’s true merits if only judging from their appearance。 It is true that an attractive appearance is of great significance not only for daily life but also for the job. However, it is unwise to judge one person by the appearance for the following reasons. On the one hand, with the advancement of science technology and medical level, people can transform their surface by all means. On the other hand, the appearance should not be the merely criteria for judging an individual, considering that are more important factors, including Courteous, kind-hearted, honest and so on。 In conclusion, it is unadvisable to judge a person by their appearance. That’s why I assert that we should pay more attention to one's inward and place high value on inner cultivation。 6(2013年12月 1. Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay about the impact of information explosion by referring to the saying "a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention". You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 本次作文主题围绕“信息爆炸给大众带来的困扰”，难度较小。最近几年六级作文题都是 紧扣时代特征，实用性较强，不会导致考生无话可说、无理可讲。本题型还是按照三段式， 第一段可从题中的谚语着手，引出论点。第二段主要辩证论点“信息爆炸反而给大众带来的 注意力转移、无法集中等”，可以举出生活化的实例。第三段给出问题的解决。注意在 写作过程中要有理有据、条理清晰即可。 Ways to Get Over Information Explosion As a famous saying goes, ―A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention‖. Nowadays we are in the Information Age. Some people keep complaining about distraction by the information explosion. Admittedly, the new information age has brought us so much convenience that we are allowed to get enough information just with a simple click sitting in front of the computers. Nevertheless, we are also confused, annoyed, distracted and upset by an incredibly large quantity of information. For example, when searching for something online, people are easily carried away by irrelevant information and forget their original plan. Besides, some information often turns out to be useless and is actually advertisement. Therefore, it can be time-consuming and troublesome to search information online. Then what we can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? Here I have some useful tips: Firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching. This will help you to refuse some appealing, yet irrelevant information. Secondly, find some trustful and professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them. In this case, you can easily leave some ads and useless information behind. 2. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on happiness by referring to the saying ―Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.‖ You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain how you can develop your ability to deal with problems and be happy. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 本次作文主题围绕“幸福的源泉”，难度不大。虽然表面有些抽象，但根据题干意义还是可以 迅速地将本文分成2-3部分:1.总述幸福产生源泉，不是没有问题，而是处理问题的能力。 2.阐述自身有哪些解决问题、保持幸福的方法。 Happiness – Go for it In this long journey we call "life", everybody is in pursuit of happiness and has their own interpretation of happiness. An inspiring idea is that happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them, which reveals the very truth about happiness. It cannot be achieved through waiting, but only through striving. There is no way that life always progresses as we wish. Problems may occur and we find ourselves in trouble, but it doesn't mean we are deprived of happiness. There are numerous examples for us to follow: disabled people overcoming obstacles, patients fighting against disease, poverty-stricken people achieving their dreams -- all these inspiring heroes. Their lives are definitely not problem-free, but they have found happiness by courageously solving problems. Therefore, it is essential to develop the ability to deal with problems. We need to muster our courage and confidence to face the fact. Meanwhile, we need to find effective ways to cope with them. In a word, if we stay strong and approach problems effectively, there will be no storm in life that we cannot weather. And after the storm, happiness is within our reach. 3. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark ―the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.‖ You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to make your life more meaningful. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 【点评】 本次作文主题围绕“有意义的生活”，由于本次主题有些抽象，难度稍大。以下是一条可行思 路:1.由谚语引出话题，表述自己对生活的看法。2.引出具体例子，作为自己观点的支撑。 3.给出自己的行动方向，如何“过有意义的生活”。 Among all the highlighted topics, there is ―how to live a meaning life?‖ Everyone has his or her own opinion. As the saying has it, ―the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.‖ I cannot agree any more. If our life is just to pursue something for ourselves, we will surely feel fruitless and meaningless when we grow old. From Steve Job’s bibliography, we can get that the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Steve Jobs has brought a great many changes to our world. His life, although short, definitely outlast. That’s a life worth living. Therefore, if there is a way to make my life meaningful, it should be to find something I’m interested in and also helpful to others or the whole society. Only in this way can I keep my passion throughout my life until I finally fulfil my life. 7 2013年6月 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark ―Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed‖. You may cite s ome examples support you view. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 谚语本身的难度一般，其中要注意greed, 即为greedy(贪婪)的名词。 思路: 这题写成问题解决型，写人类过渡开发自然资源，破坏环境，资源危机等等，我个人认 为也不偏题。当然，写成谚语题更好。 第一段:开篇引用，表义(我们的地球给我们人类提供了丰富的自然资源，但是因为人 类的贪婪，我们的资源正慢慢枯竭等等)，深意(我们应该节约资源，保护地球) 第二 段:正能量(节约资源有利于子孙后代可持续发展，否则。。。还可反面论证下)，举例(用 我们经常看到一些现象，把例子印出来:比如过渡开采煤矿造成资源紧缺，过渡捕鱼，捕猎 造成生态失衡，围湖造田，比如一些旅游景点过度开发，环境被破坏都可以) 第三段:再 次强调保护自然资源重要性，我们自己具体应该怎么做 范文: Earth, as a remark has it, provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s gre ed. In other words, natural resources of the world are abundant enough to meet the demand of human beings. Nevertheless, should people exploit natural resources of the Earth recklessly and excessively, these resources would be exhausted one day. Simple as the remark may sound, it conveys a thought-provoking notion that we should effectively protect, rationally exploit and economize on natural resources. Saving such resources as water, coal, oil and wood could ensure the sustainable development of the society and environment. Otherwise, nothing would be left for the future generation. The Amazon rainforest, which is called the lung of the Earth, is a case in point. Due to deforestation, the area of the Amazon rainforest has been dwindling year by year and many species there are endangered. In short, we have only one Earth. On no account could we exploit natural resources excessively. Hence, it is imperative for us to cherish and protect the nature for the benefit of future generations and ourselves. Only in this way can we preserve a beautiful, harmonious, abundant and varied world. 8 2012年12月 write an essay entitled Man and Computer by commenting on the saying, ―The real danger is not that the computer will begin to think like man, but that man will begin to think like the computer.‖ Man and Computer It is believed that the computer is bringing the world into a brand new era. At the time the computer was invented, scientists, marveling at its calculating speed, felt that they had created a miracle. Nowadays, the function of the computer is no longer confined to calculation; it permeates people’s daily lives and has become an inseparable part of human society. People become so heavily dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine the life without computers. Therefore, some people are worried that ―The real danger is not that the computer will think like man, but man will think like the computer.‖ Their concern does make sense. Indeed, some people spend such a long time working on computers that they have few interactions with people in real life. According to a research, too many hours in front of a computer may lead to a poker face and interpersonal isolation. This fact should arouse our attention, because unlike computers, human beings are social creatures that need emotional connections with others. Yet, it is also unnecessary for us to be overwhelmed by the negative impacts of computers. After all, we humans are intelligent and will be able to figure out better ways to make improvements. 本次六级作文的题目是人与电脑，对“真正的危险不是电脑开始像人一样思考，而是人 开始像电脑一样思考。”这句话发表自己的观点。题目不算新，一般考生对此都比较熟悉， 所以对考生来说难度不大。写好这篇作文，需要抓住两点，一是紧跟题目要求，即对这句引 言做出评论，二是在评论的基础上要亮出自己的观点。 范文第一段首先 陈述电脑自发明 以来对人们生活的深刻的影响， 从而为第二段的陈述奠定基础。 第二段第一句话先 自然地过渡，引出题干中的引言。对引言作出评价:这样的担忧确实不是空穴来风。然后用 例子证明现代生活中电脑已经对人们的思维和习惯带来的负面影响。呼吁大家引起重视，因 为人毕竟不同于电脑，是有情感需求的。 最后一段是一个转折， 提出对于电脑对人的影响 也不用太悲观，因为人毕竟是有智慧、有主观能动性的，一定会想出改善不足的方法。这样 的转折使作者的观点更全面、有说服力。 9 2012年6月英语六级作文真题范文 题目:The impact of the Internet on interpersonal communication 要求:commenting on "Dad: Hi sweetie, how was school, today? Daughter: You can read all about it on my blog, Dad" 范文: In contemporary society, our life is filled with a variety of anecdotes or stories, and the following is no exception: "DadHi sweetie, how was school, today? Daughter: You can read all about it on my blog, Dad." Funny as it seems, this conversation can be naturally associated with the impacts of Internet on our life: In an era of Internet, the time for interpersonal communication is impaired by online chats or blogs Apparently, the impacts of the Internet on interpersonal communication are diverse. For one tng, as a vital invention, Internet brings great convenience to our communication, eliminates the hi barrier of distance, and helps humans to keep in touch wherever and whenever. For another, it is Internet that does not enables family members, friends or classmates to communicate more in a face-to-face way. One case in point is that youngsters may spend hours chatting with acquaintances through QQ or MSN, but rarely do they talk with other face to face. Unfortunately, it we let this trend to continue as it is, the interpersonal relationship will, definitely, become alienated. To my understanding, it is advisable for people to communicate more with their families, friends and acquaintances in real life instead of merely through the Internet. Do bear in mind: Internet is just a tool. (213words) The Influence of the Internet on Interpersonal Communication Nowadays, along with the rapid development of internet, a great change appears in the daily life of everyone. We rely upon the internet more than any time before. It even becomes our necessity for communication, especially for young people. Various approaches can be used by us to surf on the internet for interpersonal communication, such as QQ, blog, MSN, email, and the like. It becomes so common to us that we cannot live without internet just as we cannot live without food and water. The influence of it can be reflected in several ways. First, internet can help us to make more friends because the communication becomes so convenient that we can connect with a friend overseas just in a few seconds. Second, internet may widen the emotional distance between people. We lose patience with the face-to-face contact with one another. A QQ message can replace everything need to be done by close contact. Third, lots of deceptious messages online captivate our eyes and make us feel confused. We lose our basic judgment about who and what can be believed. verall, every coin has its two sides. We must recognize the benefits of internet which bring tO o us. At the same time, the negative part of it should also be deeply considered. There is still a long way to go to do our best to eliminate the disadvantages of it. 10 2011年12月英语六级作文范文 The Way to Success First essay—stream of thought type The Way to Success "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." And here comes our question, what is the way to success? A strong will and great efforts are the most essential two keys to the door of success. Why do people fail to achieve their goal? The reason is that most of them give up halfway due to their lack of a strong will once they encounter any difficulty. A man of a strong will always sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. Would Thomas Edison be such a great man in history if he had done nothing but possessing a strong will?

Taking a look around, one can find numerous examples with ease. A common case in point is that students spend a great deal of time and energy attending a great variety of certificate-oriented training courses to ensure a better score。 The purpose of acquiring certificates varies from individuals to individuals. For students, as the job market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, not only can a certain certificate prove their capabilities, but also will put them in a favorable position in the employment market and the development of their career. When it comes to white-collared workers, more job-related certificates often guarantee greater opportunities for a salary raise and promotion. What’s more, it is also an ideal way to enhance their job techniques and sharpen their competitiveness。 From my perspective, the merits of pursuing certificates are self-evident. However, we should also bear in mind that it is the practical skills, such as management, cooperation, communication, rather than certificates that guarantee one’s accomplishment in career. Accordingly, we might as well attach great importance to both certificates and the improvement of one’s comprehensive abilities。 12 2010年12月 My View on University Ranking 1( 现在有很多高校评级 2( 人们对此看法各异 3( 你认为 Nobody could have failed to notice the fact that university ranking has gained increasing popularity --- institutions home and abroad are always interested in it; newspapers and magazines are fond of carrying the news. Unfortunately, it has also given rise to some problems never thought of. Confronted with the dilemma, should we carry on the practice? When it comes to this question, people’s views vary from one to another. People who support ranking have their reasons. They are convinced that it can stimulate people, teachers and students alike, to work harder so that they can climb on the ladder or at least maintain their position. In this way, universities can produce more talents and knowledge demanded by our society. Also, supporters of university ranking maintain that it can act as a guide for employers when they decide where to find right employees. But others may not agree. These people would argue that university ranking might force universities to care more about their position in the ranking but not about research that they are expected to do. For instance, it is often reported that some professors spend more time in bribing than in labs in order to have an edge in the fierce competition. Another good case in point is that some scholars even sacrifice their integrity to plagiarize under the pressure of ―publish or perish‖. Who is right? Of course both sides have their reasons. As far as I am concerned, we might as well stop the practice for the good of universities and society. Universities are a place for free academic study. Only when scholars are free to in their pursuits, can they make contribution to society. 13 2010年6月六级作文范文 Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling 1. 如今很多学生不重视中文学习 2. 出现这种现象的原因和后果 3. 我认为 (普通应试版) Currently, there is a growing concern for difficulty in the mother tongue language among university students. Foreign language learning, not Chinese, has become a common occurrence on our campus. Obviously, more and more experts are beginning to be aware of the seriousness of this problem. A number of reasons can be easily found for this. For one thing, students pay more attention to English study than Chinese training. For another thing, the companies, especially the gainful employment, focus on the candidates' foreign language skills. What's more, Chinese plays a less important role in university courses. In other words, teachers also feel unnecessary to hold further studies on Chinese. Consequently, language learners found inability in gaining English successfully, or they may feel having difficulties in understanding in other languages. As far as I am concerned, the correct and exact expression in Chinese ought to be the primary concern for foreign languages studies, which means Chinese, our mother tongue, is the foundation for understanding, expressing and learning other languages. Obviously, it is necessary that effective actions should be taken to prevent the above situation. (作文高手版) Recently it often hits headlines of newspapers that some prestigious universities like Tongji exclude Chinese from the subjects to be tested in their practice of independent admission. This has aroused heated discussion among the public -- Is Chinese not so important as English? What if we neglect the study of our mother tongue? First of all, globalization counts much for this phenomenon. In modern society, information in most media, be it the Internet or newspaper, is conveyed in English. As a saying goes, one can go to every corner of the world without any difficulty in communicating with local people. Unfortunately, while we emphasize the importance of English, we underrate the value of Chinese though China has been developing at an amazing speed. But neglecting the study of Chinese is extremely harmful if the situation is left unfettered. The major harm is that China’s traditional value is likely to get lost because language and ideas are interlocked in most cases. For example, when interviewed, most youngsters show that they are quite unfamiliar with some famous figures and their sayings. To sum up, many reasons are responsible for the phenomenon and it will do us harm if we leave the situation as it is. Faced with the problem, we are expected to take effective measures. For one thing, the government should work out rules to ensure the time for the study of Chinese in school. Only in this way, can we find a cure for the problem. 14 2009年12月19日大学英语六级考试作文 1. 家长送学生参加各种艺术班 2. 有人支持，有人反对 3. 作为大学生，我的观点 There is a growing tendency nowadays for parents to send their children to register and attend a great variety of arts courses, such as dancing, calligraphy and musical instruments training, etc. The attitudes of people towards this phenomenon vary from person to person. Some people maintain that these extra curriculums are of great necessity and benefits to students. According to a recent survey on pre-school intelligence level, the respondents who take part in out-class courses tend to perform better than those who haven’t. Moreover, the former can have an all-round development by acquiring knowledge and skills which are not taught in their schools. On the contrary, others argue that these courses would bring about heavy burdens to students and thus oppose to this practice. They worry about that students might not have adequate time to take rest and reflect on what they have learned in school. As a university student, I have ever participated in some arts courses, such as singing and painting classes and they proved to be helpful for my hobby development. Therefore, as far as I’m concerned, taking some extra curriculum courses properly is meaningful to students’ development in the long-term. 15 2009年6月英语六级作文真题点评及范文 The Importance of Name Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic The Importance of Name. You should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below: 1. 有人认为名字很重要 2. 有人认为名字不重要 3. 你的看法 点评: 看到这样的题目，相信新东方的学员应该感觉很熟悉。上课的时候讲过的一篇例文:教 材15页第三篇。写作思路和表达完全吻合。 再者，各个机构所有的预测作文都没有姓名的话题，说明命题人的反预测意识确实很强。 当然，这在一定程度上保证了考试的公正性。 希望大家还是以夯实基础为重中之重。不要相信所谓押中考题，更不要考前押宝孤注一 掷。 教材15页例文如下: Do ―Lucky Numbers‖ Really Bring Good Luck? There are people who believe that some numbers bring good luck, while others bring bad luck. For instance, in China the number eight is thought to be lucky. Turning our attention to the West, we find that the number seven is considered lucky, but the number 13 is avoided like the plague. In spite of all these claims, most people would agree that there is little evidence that numbers have any influence on our lives. In fact, they say, the reverse seems to be the case. For one thing, we might expect calculators to break down every time they note the number 13, and for another, although every week has seven days we know that not every week is lucky for us. Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the latter point of view. It is obvious that there is no scientific basis for the belief that there is a connection between luck and numbers. All in all, it seems to me to be superstition. 课堂例文: The Importance of Name There are individuals who believe that names are of vital importance for them. They argue that some names bring good luck, while others bring bad luck. For instance, in China the name Wangcai is thought to be lucky. Turning our attention to the West, we find that the Bill Gates is considered important, but some names are avoided like the plague. In spite of all these claims, most people would agree that there is little evidence that names have any influence on our lives. In fact, they say, the reverse seems to be the case. For one thing, we might expect all Chinese are called Wangcai and the like when they are born, and for another, although one may be named Wangcai we know that he is not a billionaire. Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the latter point of view. It is obvious that there is no scientific basis for the belief that there is a connection between luck and names. All in all, it seems to me to be superstition. 16 2008年 12月 How to improve student's mental health 1、 大学生的心理健康十分重要 2、 因此，学校可以...... 3、 我们自己应当...... Students' mental health has been playing an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. Indeed, it is widely accepted that it has gained growing popularity among persons in all walks of life. There is a general discussion today about the issue of disorder in brains. Obviously, it is necessary that effective actions should be taken to prevent problems. Authorities in universities play a critical role in the situation. To begin with, schools, such as colleges or universities, can provide chances for the young men to ease their attention. What's more, some are physically strong, but psychological problems are able to bring potential threats. Teaches may have a chance to find them in advance. Besides, specialists in this field are to be required to make full preparation for cases in time. Facing the crisis, experts can deal with it in a professional way, which means they have more or better opportunities to save us than others. From the factors mentioned above, we may safely draw the conclusion that we can free ourselves from mental illness by taking certain precautions. For example, if you have pains or puzzles in mind, finding a friend to express these is a good way to release pressure. Certainly, there is little doubt that further attention will be paid to the issue. 17 2008年6月21日六级考试作文题目 Will E-books Replace Traditional Books? 1. 随着信息技术的发展，电子图书越来越多 2. 有人认为电子图书会取代传统图书，理由是„„ 3. 我的看法 [参考范文] Will e-books replace traditional books? A new era has come. With the mass production of electronic devices and application of new technologies, mankind has entered an “e” age. Nowadays, we have e-mails, e-tickets, e-tests, and e-books, and consequently, paper-based materials gradually vanish. Nowadays, e-books become extremely popular among youngsters, while traditional ones seem suffer a great loss of their readers. For some people, electronic and internet based books are convenient and accessible. Environmentalists even advocate the benefit of e-books on the ground of forest protection. E-books lovers even assert that traditional books will disappear in the near future. I have been a book worm for a long time. For me, reading experience is unique and rewarding. Nothing can be more thought-provoking than thumbing through a book bought years ago under a table lamp in a dark night. As to note-taking, scanning and skimming, and portability, traditional books have advantages. Just as the invention of camera didn’t put an end to the history of painting, traditional books are, and will still be, an intimate friend of readers. 范文二: With the development of the information technology, electric books (e-books) have attracted the attention from all our society. Wherever we go, we can see them, such as in the libraries, in the classroom as well as on the Internet. Just some experts predicted in a recent TV interview, e-books would possibly dominate the reading the next few decades. Some people claim that the e-books will substituted the traditional ones. For one thing, the e-books can not only bring them great amount of convenience, but also free them from going to the bookstores to selecting traditional books. For another, e-books save them lots of space as well as money. They can just put them in computers and take them while traveling. However, traditional books are too heavy and bulk for us to carry. From my perspective, I firmly believe the e-books cannot take the traditional books’ place totally. They will unquestionably co-exist for a long period. Although the e-books offer us lots of favorable consequences, the traditional books can provide us opportunities to take note on them and to be easy for collection. Therefore, the e-books and the traditional books are preferable to different people, and both of them can bring us benefits. 18 2007年12月 题目:Digital Age 数字化时代 1、如今数字化产品得到越来越广泛的使用，例如 2、数字化产品的使用对人工作、学习、生活产生的影响 范文1 Life is becoming more digital and the digital is becoming more alive. Have you ever noticed that you were surrounded by all kinds of digital products? Digital camera, digital computer, digital television, and so on. Because of these stuff, great changes have taken place in our modern life. Firstly, with the development of digital products, TV, film and music go on-line and mobile. Our life are becoming more and more colorful. Secondly, the growth of peer to peer digital media means that people can generate and transact digital content and services over global networks. Nowadays, information is being unleashed and re-shuffled. And everything is becoming increasingly more connected. This is both very exciting and a bit unnerving. At last, the digital age has renewed our interest in friendship which means there is also an opportunity to deepen our sense and appreciation of it. To sum up, our future is digital. To achieve success in the 21st century, all of us need to attain proficiency in digital products. 范文2 From the day the first digital product was given birth, unbelievable changes have happened in our life. A few years ago, when we read, prints on the paper are the only media which carries meaning. When we listen to music, we have to buy magnetic tapes or CDs which record the sound. However, nowadays, our life is a totally different picture. We read books all the same, but many of them are e-books which is more convenient and more cheaper. As to music, with a matchbox-sized mp3 player, we can download whatever we like from the boundless music files on the internet. These are only the most insignificant examples how digital products have benefit us. Thanks to indigital products, the variety and quantity of information we can obtain is unprecedented. In everyday work, study and many other aspects, digital products have played a more and more important life in our life. However, on the other hand, digital products also cause many negative effects to our lives. As life become more and more convenient, most people become more and more indifferent. They close their doors and never go out as soon as they get home from work. If they live alone, they will kill their time by surfing online. They don’t have any connections even with their closest neighbors, who seem no different from people they meet everyday in the street. For students, they spend much more time than before on listening to the music or playing computer games. These phenomena are no good to our universities, nor to our society. On the whole, it is high time that we recognized the positive effects and also the negative ones of digital products, and used them in the right way. 3 范文 It is widely accept that the digital age has already arrived, such as mobile phone, Mp3, Mp4, digital camera, digital computer and so on. They make our life convenient and colorful. But at the same time many people maintain that just for these stuffs our life become more and more monotonous, and people lack face to face communication. Everything has two sides. The advantages of the digital products are obvious to some people. For one thing, in terms of convenient, the increasing popularity of using these has helped us save a lot of time. For another, due to the rising of digital age, it makes our life colorful. We often see all sorts of people bring different kinds of products of digital age to go sightseeing and travelling. However, there are still quite a few people who strongly oppose these fashionable digital things. Reality mobile phones, in some extent, make friends lack face to face communication, and the families spend less and less time together, which cause generation gap and indifference to the person around us. Personally, I side with the former opinion. It is a wonderful feeling and a great way to make our life much more color and convenient. As long as the society is developed, there follows a great number of digital products. 19 2007年6月 Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below. 1、 有人做好事期望得到回报; 2、 有人认为应该像雷锋那样做好事不图回报; 3、 我的观点。 写作范文 Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed? A great many people presume upon a reward when doing a good deed. First and foremost, there is a natural tendency to equate doing good deeds with a certain amount of reward, and reward with a certain amount of money. What is more, they maintain that since the basis of contemporary society is money, one of the major means of earning money is getting reward by doing good deeds. On the contrary, the vast majority of people assume that doing a good deed should be based on people’s personal interests. Hence, doing a good deed is fulfilling itself and reward is of minimal significance. Numerous examples can be given, but this will suffice. Mr. Leifeng lived a simple life dedicated to doing good deeds without expecting any reward and helping people from all walks of life, yet he was remembered as one of the most successful hero of our time. Generally speaking, it is my view that we should not expect a reward when doing a good deed. We do this for enjoyment, fulfillment and other spiritual enhancement, not for the purpose of reward. 20 2006年12月新六级作文题目及范文 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Importance of Reading Classics. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below. 1.阅读经典书籍对人的成长至关重要 2.现在愿意阅读经典的人却越来越少，原因是…… 3.我们大学生应该怎么做 Nobody could have failed to notice the fact that reading classics plays an important and beneficial role in the personal development and growth of people. Personally, ever since my childhood, nothing has been more attractive than reading the classic masterpieces. Taking a look around, we can find classics from which people hugely benefit too numerous to list: The Dream in the Red Chamber, The Legend of Three Kingdoms, Bible and the like. However, it is widely acknowledged that an increasing number of people are losing interest in classics. A number of factors could account for the change, but the following are the most critical ones. On one hand, practical reading has occupied the market and students’ spare time in such a material possession oriented society. One the other hand, the boom of internet industry gives rise to the change in students’ reading habit which consequently, in comparison, makes reading classics time-consuming and less entertaining. In view of the seriousness of this problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is essential that college rules and regulations be worked out and enforced to encourage college students to read classical works and start classics-reading campaigns in campus. Secondly, college students should enhance their awareness of the importance of absorbing the essence of the classics in which our ancestors left their wisdoms and experiences. With proper rules and an alert public, it will only be a matter of time to see this problem become a thing of the past in the near future. 21 2006年6月英语六级作文题目及范文 题目:国外旅游 1、近十年来某城市越来越多人选择出去旅游 2、出现这种现象的原因 3、这种现象可能产生的影响 表格: 1995 2000 2005 1万人 近4万 12万以上 From the table, we can see that in the past 10 years, the number of people in a given city who have gone traveling abroad has increased considerably. Especially in the recent 5 years, the figure has been more than tripled, surging from 40,000 to 120,000. There are several reasons for the change. Firstly, with the development of economy, more and more people become better off. And their ability to finance their trip abroad is growing. Secondly, tourism has greatly developed over the decade. Travel agencies offer not only domestic packages but also travel specials abroad. In addition, individuals today are expected and encouraged to go outside to widen their horizon and to face the real world of globalization. In this way they hope to keep themselves informed of what is going on around the world. From the changes reflected in the table, we can predict that the number of individuals going out of the country will boost. This encouragingly and inevitably facilitates the cultural exchange between ours and the rest of the world and this trend will be irreversible. 22 2005年12月24日英语六级作文及范文 Directions: For this part. you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a company declining a job offer.

Sincerely yours, 23 2005年6月18日英语六级作文及范文 For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled “On Piracy” of no less than 150 words. You may base your writing on the following outline: 1.目前盗版的现象比较严重。 2.造成这种现象的原因及危害 3.我们应该怎么做 盗版piracy (n) 盗版产品pirated products 知识产权intellectual products 侵犯版权infringe sbs copyright, copyright infringement [参考范文之一] Nowadays, it is known to all that China has become a place of rampant pirated products: pirated CDs, pirated VCDs, pirated DVDs, pirated books„ They are available everywhere and we are so accustomed to the phenomenon that we won’t feel it strange to see pirated copies of the latest movies even before they are on shown in theatres. The reasons for the phenomenon, which are obvious to all, can be listed as follows: First of all, the price of the products that are pirated is too high that most people cannot afford it. Second, the price of the pirated products is much lower and, in some cases, the pirated product doesn’t necessarily mean low quality. Also playing a part is the local government. Some officials give top priority to economy. They will tolerate, or even encourage, anything so long it can bring them financial income. But the pirated products really do much harm. First, they infringe intellectual property rights. Second, they offend against the rules of the market. As a result of piracy, companies investing in invention will inevitably run bankruptcy and our society will stop where it is. No advance. No progress. In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures should be taken: for one thing, it is high time that people all over China realized the harm of piracy; for another, the government should issue strict laws and regulations in order to put the situation under control. [参考范文之二] At present, piracy is becoming unprecedentedly visible in China, Any product, like tape, CD and hi-tech device can be copied, not to mention book. Shortly after a newly-published book hits the shelves, people will unsurprisingly find its pirated counterparts in the stores. It has been widely believed that piracy has caused a great loss to legitimate producers, inventors and authors in many ways. To start with, pirated products often cost much less than the original ones, so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price in spite of their relatively poor quality. The original ones, on the contrary, sell poorly. As far as pirated books are concerned, they do great harm to the authors/ reputation due to their misprints. In the long run, pirated products may also have negative impacts on customers since those legitimate producers' enthusiasm may be greatly hurt by the fact that some customers are more indined to purchase pirated products. In my opinion, it’s high time that the govement called on everyone to start the battle against piracy. Besides, as customers, we should develop our consciousness to resist pirated products. And law should be strictly carried out to ban piracy from spreading any further. Only in this way can we put an end to piracy and create a healthy environment for both customers and producers. 24 2005年1月大学英语六级作文题目及范文 1，对病人的简单介绍:目前的病情和家庭情况 2，目前的困难:无法继续承担医疗费用，需要护理 3，希望捐助，联系方式 [范文]Your Help Needed Dear friends, As some of you may know, Lucy, a lovely girl student, a junior from the Department of Fine Arts, has been seriously ill.

This weekend I bought an English-Chinese dictionary in a bookstore near my home since its cover is elaborately designed. But when I went home and read carefully, I found that the several pages of the dictionary have been cracked and befouled. What is worse, the misprints spread everywhere in the dictionary and seriously affect my comprehension. Since there was such damage and misprint to the dictionary, I went to the bookstore to require for a replace. But to my surprise, the staff of the bookstore turn down my request rudely and even denied the poor quality of the dictionary. It goes without saying that today’s face-paced and market-oriented economy calls for much higher standard for service industry. However, to my regret, many of the commercials fail to achieve this standard and the quality of the staff needs to be improved. It’s self-evident that the poor quality of practitioners in the service industry will not only deeply disappoint customers but also hamper the development of our country’s economy. As a result, I expect your newspaper to appeal to the service industry to attach more importance to the service improvement. Thank you for your attention! Sincerely yours, Sam 26 2004年1月大学英语六级作文题目及范文 1.有些大学校园浪费现象日益严重 2.浪费的危害 3.杜绝浪费, 从我做起 [参考范文]Reduce Waste on Campus As is known to all, waste on campus has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many students dump a lot of food in the garbage can. Some students spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes and so on. The negative effects of waste can be shown in the following aspects. In the first place, it makes some students dependent on their parents for money, which is harmful to their development. If they don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people‖ when they graduate. In the second place, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not the least important, there is no denying the fact that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help. As far as I am concerned, I should set a good example to reduce waste on campus. First of all, I will refrain from wasting anything, from food to stationery. What’s more, I’m determined to call on more schoolmates to fight against waste. Only through these measures can we hope to reduce waste on campus. 27 2003年9月英语六级作文及其范文 Part V Writing (30 minutes) 图表作文，关于一个美国大学图书馆的图书流动量(pop fiction, general nonfiction, science, art等)，给出他们的流动比例对比，说明原因，并说明你自己喜欢阅读什么样的书。 From the table based on a survey we made of the reading preferences of students in an American university in 2002, we learnt that, of all kinds of books, contemporary university students like ficitions best, which has 65.9 percent of book circulation in library while other kinds of books have low percentage: general nonfiction --18.2, science/technology/education-10.8,art/literature/poetry--5.1. It suggests that contemporary students are much more easily influenced by the fashion than ever before. It's a reasonable and good phenomenon because it reveals that university students like to keep up with the development of society. Thus they will easily adapt themselves into the new life after they graduate from school. Generally, I like reading nonfictions, for it is tightly connected with the reality. To some degree, it's no use reading too much fictions which sometimes will take you into fancy fantasy. Fast life pace also don't allow me to read books on art or poetry. To me, nonfiction is even helpful in analyzing society and humanity. 28 2003年6月大学英语六级作文题目及范文 图表内容是1990，1995，2000的公房和私房变化柱状表，趋势是公房越来越少，私房 越来越多。 提纲:1.简单描述一下图表内容 2.变化原因 3.这个变化对个人和社会的影响 字数150以上，时间30分钟。 [参考范文]Changes of Ownership of Houses in China Ownership of houses in China has changed greatly in the past decade. In the past, most houses were state-owned. But now, private houses are everywhere. As is shown in the chart above, in 1990, the city’s houses were mainly state-owned, with a percentage of 75. This percentage became 60 in the year 1995 and then dropped sharply to 20 in 2000. At the same time, the number of private houses has soared up to 80 percent. There are mainly two reasons that account for this rapid change. Firstly, the government has been forwarding the policy to support private houses programs. These programs have proved to be very important in developing Chinas economy. Secondly, with the development of economy, people’s standard of living has risen.

In the old days people in the developing countries suffered hunger and were exposed to the elements. Nowadays they are well fed and housed. Naturally they live longer than before. Besides, the medical condition was also improved and so the adequate medical treatment ensures the adults’ health and reduces infant mortality. Most important of all, in the early 60s there were constant wars in some developing countries because of the colonial rule and so a lot of people were killed in wars.

First, all the advertisements must be strictly censored by the authorities concerned before they are published. Besides, severe punishment must be inflicted on those who publish illegal advertisements. In conclusion, false advertisements must be eliminated in our society.
