Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a student of our university, who often spend my spare time in our library. Generally speaking, our library provides quite good service. However, I still have some suggestions for you to upgrade the quality of your service.
To begin with, I would like you to prolong the open time. In the daytime, most students are having classes. To continue, some books are too old/ are out of date. It would be better if you could replace them with updated materials.
I sincerely hope to have a comfortable library. And I would be highly grateful if you could take my suggestions into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
今天下午我在优热网看了一部美国大片——《为奴十二载》,看完后,感觉非常震撼。
这样一部直面美国历史上最黑暗一页的优秀电影,却出自一位青年英国导演,史蒂夫·麦昆的手笔。根据真实事件和真人传记改编,《为奴十二载》讲述了1841年,住在纽约州萨拉托加的自由身份的黑人所罗门被欺诈绑架后卖到南方庄园,几易其主,最终重返自由的故事。
电影第一个镜头就是田地特写,然后直切一排毫无生气地等待主人训教的黑奴,然后就是重复的'劳动,类似的镜头,又在影片中反复数次出现,时代的背景,奴隶人性的压抑、自由的剥削以及商品属性,就通过几个镜头暴露出来;夜晚与身边女性黑奴的互慰,又切到与妻子的同床温情,似曾相识却迥然不同的情境,触发男主对家庭和自由过往的回忆。
配合充满质感的画面,影片还有效的运用了穿插的歌谣来渲染彼时黑奴的境况和心中的苦楚,棉田里的劳动应和,以及在累死同伴葬礼上的吟唱,将疲惫认命的苍凉和无以附加的悲恸推向了高潮。而饰演监工的保罗·达诺在片中有段调侃逃跑黑奴的歌曲,在演唱时,穿插着黑奴们的各种劳作场景,即调节了节奏,又增加了多元的表现手法,还让观众感到两种对立的情绪正在以一种微妙的方式被催生着。
《为奴十二载》并非完美的电影,但它对一个如此熟悉的题材的把握方式不说是绝后,却几乎是空前的。它并没有提供一个新颖的视角,它只是凝视得特别用心,直到一切模糊之后却又重现,展开了一个新的格局。“我不想只是生存,我想要活着。”即使在遭遇不公的待遇时,主人公所罗门·诺瑟普依旧有着这样的。正是这点让我认为这次奥斯卡的最佳影片,它是绝对的实至名归。
Everyone may encounter a scene when he or she wonders what the meaning and purpose of life is. Answers to this question vary from person to person. As for me, I agree with the view that the meaning of life is to discover your gift and the purpose of life is to make the best of it.
On one hand, one's gift could be the source of his inner happiness, providing spiritual impetus and correct orientation. Take the world-renowned Chinese pianist Lang Lang as an example. His gift was noticed before he was 3 years old, which laid the foundation of his glorious life. On the other hand, proper use of talent helps people to realize their value in a positive way, thus making contribution to the society as a whole. For instance, Isaac Newton made a universally amazing discovery by digging into his gift and finding the Newton's law of gravitation.
In conclusion, let's search for our true gift and utilize it to the fullest to achieve a happy and valuable life.
四级英语很快就要到来了,英语是占据重要的部分,快来看看下面的范文及写作指导吧。
下面请看一篇漫画式命题的作文预测题:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should express your views on the impact of air pollution. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
【参考模板范文】
The Impact of Air Pollution
The cartoon vividly reveals the phenomenon of air pollution or the decline of air quality. In the cartoon we can see the air pollution is so serious that the earth can't bear it.
What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Possible reasons can be listed as follows: firstly, vehicle exhaust gases could be one of the most leading causes. With the improvement of economy and people's living standard, urban inhabitants in mounting numbers own their private cars. More automobiles will inevitably generate more exhaust gases. Additionally, household appliances widely used in cities also release a great amount of carbon dioxide gases, which further intensifies air pollution. Last but not least, many factories around the cities emit large quantities of untreated poisonous gases, which should also be responsible for the decline of air quality.
Definitely, air pollution will exert a detrimental impact on many aspects of people's life. For example, many diseases such as cough, skin problem and lung cancer are caused by it. Perhaps it is high time that we should adopt some measures to solve the problem of air pollution.
英语漫画作文写作指导
第一、读图审题
四级漫画作文中的漫画通常反映一个社会现象或生活哲理,要求考生根据自己对漫画的理解来写作。因此,要写好四级漫画作文,审题格外重要。考生在下笔之前要仔细看漫画,弄清漫画的寓意,这是文章切题的保证。此外,在本次四级考试的三道写作题中,Directions部分都给出了写作内容的大致方向,这也为考生把握漫画寓意提供了帮助。下面笔者就来逐一梳理2013年6月四级作文的三幅漫画及其传达的寓意。
第二、谋篇布局
在把握文章的主旨之后,考生就可以构思整篇文章的架构了。四级漫画作文的写作可以分为下面三个段落。
第一段:开门见山,简要描述一下漫画内容,并指出漫画的寓意。描述漫画内容是为了揭示其中的寓意,是手段而不是目的,所以描述要简洁明快,一般来说一句话足矣。需要提醒考生的是,写作的Directions部分虽然给出了大致的写作主题,但是也要求考生对漫画进行简要描述,因此考生切不可抛开漫画内容直接展开议论。
第二段:表达考生对漫画寓意的看法,这是文章的重心所在。比如,就第一道写作题目而言,考生应在第二段阐述阅读文学作品的重要性;就第二道写作题目而言,考生应在第二段论述为什么凡事必须从小事做起;就第三道写作题目而言,考生应在第二段论述掌握基本技能的重要性。
第三段:指出漫画的寓意对大学生的教育意义,或者提出解决问题的建议。考生需要注意的是,结尾段一般并不需要实质性的分析,其主要作用是总结和升华,使文章结构完整。所以结尾段的写作要简明扼要,点到即止。
第三、论证方法
漫画作文的'第二段要表达考生对漫画寓意的看法,这是文章的核心段落,也是作文字数达到要求的关键。因此,考生在这一段要浓墨重彩,写深、写透。在写这一段时,考生要尽量摆事实、讲道理,避免空泛的议论。针对这一核心段落,笔者在此推荐以下三种展开议论的常用方法,希望对考生有所启发。
1.条分缕析
在写作第二段时,考生可以从2~3个方面对观点展开论述,这种写法可使文章显得层次清楚、条理清晰。例如,本次四级作文第一道题目的第二段需要阐述阅读文学作品的重要性,考生就可以从以下两个方面展开:第一,相对于电子媒体,文学阅读更能培养人的想象力;第二,阅读文学作品能够帮助我们更好地了解社会。请参考下面的范文。
There wasa time when children could relish (欣赏/ 也可以使用appreciate 替换 literature. But childrentoday can enjoy the sounds and action on a TV or computer screen. “So why bother reading?” some ask. The reasonis obvious: It enriches our imagination. When we read apiece of literature, we are living the life of RobinHood or starting an adventure with Tom Sawyer. In addition, literature is the mirror of society,whether it be poetry, drama or fiction. We know thesociety better through literature.
2.举例论证
如果漫画所传达的是抽象的人生哲理,那么考生在论述时最好能举出具体的事例,尽量避免空洞的说教。比如,就本次四级作文第二道题目而言,考生可以在第二段中举出一些成功人士如何从小事做起的例子。笔者下面提供的范文中用到的是哈兰·桑德斯上校从一个小吃店做起,最后缔造出遍布全球的肯德基快餐帝国的例子,用以证明只有从小事做起,才能成就大事。请看下面的范文。
Everything is smallbefore it is big. A good example is KFC. In 1930 Colonel Harland Sanders beganserving food to his service station customers in Corbin, a city in Kentucky. He fried chicken in his own kitchen andperfected his secret recipe there. From the small roadside eatery, he went on to build an empire of fast food.
3.类比论证
如果漫画中的寓意不容易通过具体的事例来证明,那么考生还可以使用类比论证的方法,即通过打比方来论证一个抽象的道理。比如,对于本次四级作文的第三道题目,考生可以在第二段中用学习打篮球的过程来打比方。学习打篮球时,只有先学会了投球、运球、传球这些基本技能,才能进一步学习高难度的技能。以此类推,无论做任何事情,只有掌握了基本的技能,才可能取得更大的成功。此外,考生还可以举出统计数字,用具体的研究结果来证明论点。请看下面的范文。
Simple as they mayseem, basic skills serve as the first link in the chain of success. Thisis analogous to learning to play basketball. If shooting, dribbling and passing are not mastered,learning advanced skills will become difficult, if notimpossible. A growing body of research has also documented that such basicskills as reading, writing and computing are highlycorrelated with success later in life. A 2012 study surveyed 300 CEOs ofFortune 500 companies and found that 87% attributed part of their success tothe basic skills they learned in primary school.
一年一度的奥斯卡颁奖典礼落下帷幕了,在看过报纸、网站上各种大篇幅报道之后,让我对获得最佳影片的电影《为奴十二年》充满了好奇。
电影根据同名自传体小说改编,故事发生在南北战争之前的美国大陆,主人公所罗门本来是生活在纽约州的自由的黑人,有身份、有妻儿、有工作。却被两个自称要为所罗门谋一个马戏团伴奏工作的白人所骗,当他一觉醒来,却发现自己身在华盛顿成为了一名奴隶,没有了名字,没有了身份,也没有了做为人的一切尊严。经过十二年苦不堪言的奴隶生涯,最终得到一个加拿大木匠的帮助,重新获得自由,回到家人身边的故事。
有人说过,看电视剧看的是故事,而看电影看的是意境。看电影不仅要知道讲述了一个怎样的故事,更要感受其中的意境。该电影以浓重沉郁的镜头语言,展现了主人公在身为奴隶的十二年里经历的和看到的一幕幕触目惊心的场景,揭露了奴隶制度的残忍与不人道。
在观看电影的整个过程中,我时刻感受着文化的冲击,在那个黑白分明的世界里,人被明显的分成三六九等,对于当时美国南方的庄园主来说,黑奴是赚钱的工具,是没有人权的私有财产,是可以随意处置的玩具。在无奈的历史车轮里,黑奴们变得越来越麻木不仁,他们失去了反抗的能力,甚至心安理得的接受了奴隶的命运。但电影的主人公没有接受命运的捉弄,他从未停止对平等与自由的向往,他试图逃跑,却发现自己根本逃不出广袤的奴隶主控制的土地,他好不容易写了一封信,却被白人监工告发,他忍痛将信烧毁。
人是生而平等的,一个朴素的真理,对那个年代的人们竟然是如此的困难。主人公追求平等与自由的坚定信念,深深撼动我的内心,也让我深深感受到自己生活的幸福。
