Dear Mary,
You said in your letter that many of your classmates wore fashionableclothes, but you couldn't afford them so you felt very depressed. There are dif-ferent views on people's clothes. The followings are my ideas:
Firstly, you shouldn't put too much emphasis on physical appearance.
Remember that the most important task for you today is to concentrate on yourstudies. No matter what you wear, you will really look your best when youcome out first in your examinations.
Secondly, you should understand that it is a fine virtue to live in fru-gality. Just as a famous saying goes, Frugality is the mother of virtue.
Since your family can't provide you with enough money to buy fashionableclothes, it is all the more necessary for you to try to lighten the financialburden of your family. And you will find the virtue of frugality benefit youa lot in your future life.
I hope you understand what I mean. Hope you will take a positive attitudetowards life and will be happy again when you read my letter.
Yours,
Anne
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
一沙一世界,
一花一天堂,
手中即无限,
永恒亦短暂。
在外滩看见一个警察打人,没有缘故,只是一时兴起,挨打的是个十五六岁的穿得相当干净的孩子,棉袄棉裤,腰间系带。警察用的鞭,没看仔细,好像就是警棍头上的绳圈。“呜!”抽下去,一下又一下,把孩子逼在墙根。孩子很可以跑而不跑,仰头望着他,皱着脸,眯着眼,就像乡下人在田野的太阳里睁不开眼睛的样子,仿佛还带着点笑。事情来得太突兀了,缺乏舞台的人往往来不及调整面部表情。
我向来很少有正义感。我不愿意看见什么,就有本事看不见。然而这一回,我忍不住屡屡回过头去望,气塞胸膛,打一下,就觉得我的心收缩一下。打完之后,警察朝这边踱了过来,我恶狠狠盯住他看,恨不得眼睛里飞出小刀子,很希望我能够表达出充分的鄙夷与愤怒,对于一个麻风病患者的憎怖。然而他只觉得有人在注意他,得意洋洋紧了一紧腰间的皮带。他是个长脸大嘴的北方人,生得不难看。
他走到公众厕所的门前,顺手揪过一个穿长袍而带寒酸相的,并不立即动手打,只定睛看他,一手按着棍子。那人于张惶气恼之中还想讲笑话,问道:“阿sir是为仔要我登牢子?
大约因为我的思想没受过训练之故,这时候我并不想起阶级革命,一气之下,只想去做官,或是做主席夫人,可以走上前给那警察两个耳刮子。
在民初李涵秋的小说里,这时候就应当跳出一个仗义的西洋传教师,或是保安局长的姨太太(女主角的手帕交,男主角的旧情人。偶尔天真一下还不要紧,那样有系统地天真下去,到底不大好。
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.
一年前回上海来,对于久违了的上海人的第一个印象是白与胖。在香港,广东人十有八九是黝黑瘦小的,印度人还要黑,马来人还要瘦。看惯了他们,上海人显得个个肥白如瓠,像一代乳粉的广告。
第二个印象是上海人之“通”。香港的大众文学可以用脍炙人口的公共汽车站牌“如要停车,乃可在此”为代表。上海就不然了。初到上海,我时常由心里惊叹出来:“到底是上海人!”我去买肥皂,听见一个小学徒向他的同伴解释:“喏,就是张勋的勋,功勋的勋,不是”薰风的薰。《新闻报》上登过一家百货公司的开幕广告,用并散并行的阳湖派体裁写出切实动人的文字,关于选择礼品不当的危险,结论是:“友情所系,讵不大哉!”似乎是讽刺,然而完全是真话,并没有夸大性。
上海人之“通”并不限于文理清顺,世故练达。到处我们可以找到真正的性灵文字。去年的小报上有一首打油诗,作者是谁我已经忘了,可是那首诗我永远忘不了。两个女伶请作者吃了饭,于是他就做诗了:“樽前相对两头牌,张女云姑一样佳。塞饱肚皮连赞道:难觅任使踏穿鞋!”多么可爱的,曲折的自我讽嘲!这里面有无可奈何,有容忍与放任——由疲乏而产生的放任,看不起人,也不大看得起自己,然而对于人与已依旧保留着亲切感。更明显地表示那种态度的有一副,是我在电车上看见的,用指甲在车窗的黑漆上刮出字来:“公婆有理,男女平权。”一向是“公说公有理,婆说婆有理”,由他们去吧!各有各的理。“男女平等”,闹了这些年,平等就平等吧!——又是由疲乏而起的放任。那种满脸油汗的笑,是标准中国幽默的特征。
上海人是传统的中国人加上近代高压生活的磨练,新旧文化种种畸形产物的交流,结果也许是不甚健康的,但是这里有一种奇异的智慧。
谁都说上海人坏,可是坏得有分寸。上海人会奉承,会趋炎附势,会混水里摸鱼,然而,因为他们有处世艺术,他们演得不过火。关于“坏”,别的我不知道,只知道一切的小说都离不了坏人。好人爱听坏人的故事,坏人可不爱听好人的故事。因此我写的故事里没有一个主角是个“完人”。只有一个女孩子可以说是合乎理想的,善良、慈悲、正大,但是,如果她不是长得美的话,只怕她有三分讨人厌。美虽美,也许读者们还是要向她叱道:“回到童话里去!”在《白雪公主》与《玻璃鞋》里,她有她的地盘。上海人不那么幼稚。我为上海人写了一本香港传奇,包括《泥香屑》、《一炉香》、《二炉香》、《茉莉香片》、《心经》、《琉璃瓦》、《封锁》、《倾城之恋》七篇。写它的时候,无时无刻不想到上海人,因为我是试着用上海人的观点来察看香港的。只有上海人能够懂得我的文不达意的地方。
我喜欢上海人,我希望上海人喜欢我的书。
