四级简单小作文【一】
Dear all,
I am writing this letter to express my gratitude to my parents for teaching me to be positive and to be strong. “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” is the opinion held by Aristotle. It is the experience of our forefathers, however, it is correct even today, including my parenting.
It is widely acknowledged that parenting, which can also be explained as family education, is of great significance in our character forming and manner acquiring. To be more detailed, setting good examples instead of just giving precepts is the greatest achievement of my parents. They not only taught me to think for the best and prepare for the worst; they taught me how. They not only told me the benefits of being strong in mind; they proved it. All those things require huge amount of time and work, but it’s worth it.
Without my parents’ contribution and education, I would never be who I am now. But most importantly, I would never be more gratitude to them than today.
Yours,
XXX

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

听到这样一个小故事：
有两个画家，一个在社会上流浪写生，一个在国画院做专职画家。
流浪写生的，从城市到乡村，从山野到海滨，新疆、西藏、云南一路画去，食取果腹，衣取避寒，没有学术会议，没有国内国外的参展，心无旁骛，专心作画。
做专职画家的人有17个头衔，每年的工作也丰富多彩，作画、开会、剪彩、辅导、义卖、参展、评奖，不一而足。
某日，他们的画共同展出，来自国外的人士参观后，花高价买走了流浪画家的所有作品，专职画家的画一幅都没卖出。
谁心里都明白，专职画家如果把身边的事减少到用手指数清的`程度，是不致如此的。
在这个世界上，简洁而执着的人常有充实的生命，把生活复杂化的人常使生命落空。
道理简单，却不是简单的道理谁都明白，尤其是那些在世俗的道理上走得太远的人。
四级简单小作文【四】
春天， 万物复苏，小河水哗哗地顺流而下； 活泼机灵的小鸟们在枝头喳喳地纵情歌唱； 小草们神不知鬼不觉地从地下探出了脑袋，大地换上了绿色的新衣； 小野花们争先恐后地展示着自己的美丽； 一棵棵大树好像正在返老还童， 抽出嫩黄色的新芽；。年迈的`凤凰木也紧跟着春天的步伐， 吐出米粒大小的嫩叶， 就像刚出生的婴儿那般娇嫩。
夏天，太阳像一个火炉似地炙烤着地面。凤凰木的叶子早已变成了深绿色，枝条也向四周扩展了许多，变成了一把绿色的大伞。当太阳透过茂密的树叶筛下一束束金光时， 美丽的凤凰花绽开了一张张笑脸，好像给凤凰木披上了红色的霞衣。
秋天，凤凰树的叶子慢慢地变成了金黄色，在微风吹拂下纷纷飘落下来， 给地面铺上了一层厚厚的金色地毯。课间十分钟，我和小伙伴们在凤凰树下尽情地玩耍、嬉闹，甭提有多高兴了。
冬天，刺骨的寒风从耳边呼呼地刮过，古老的凤凰木褪去了繁华，仿佛一个弯着腰、知识渊博的老学者，正在讲述着她一百多年来的沧桑岁月， 并勉励我们克服各种困难、勤奋学习，成为对国家有贡献的人才。
这就是我们百年老校的百年古树---凤凰木。
四级简单小作文【五】
山前有座庙，山后有块荒地。这天，师父带着小和尚扛着锄头，来到了荒地锄草。小和尚说：“师父，我们除掉这些杂草在上面种什么呢?”师父说：“种花!”小和尚很吃惊地说：“除草种花，谁来看呢?”师父说：“山外的人呀!”小和尚满脸疑惑地说：“为什么必须种花?”师父说：“为了庙里的香火!”小和尚不解了，为了香火就必须种花，种花和香火有关系吗?庙里香火不盛，这山后又能有几人来?
几天后，师徒俩除完草，在荒地上撒了许多花种。过了一段时间，从荒地里钻出来许多花种新芽，师父就带着小和尚给新芽浇水。一年过去了，那些花种都长成了一株株花树。等到第三年，几乎所有的花树都开花了，一片一片的花，争奇斗艳。山外的人，呼朋唤友地来看花。与此同时，人们又开始络绎不绝地到庙里上香了。
小和尚看到这一切，不由得佩服起师父来，他觉得师父当初在荒地种花是多么睿智：有了花，就有了看花的人;有了看花的人，就有了香客。为别人种花，其实也是为自己种花。
很多事情是相辅相成的，为别人种花，其实也是为自己种花，和赠人玫瑰手有余香的道理是一样的。
四级简单小作文【六】
Nowadays, many famous university campuses have become one of the popular tourist attractions. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that every year thousands and thousands of middle school students visit Tsing Hua University and Peking University and other famous universities in China. In the place far away from the capital city, the local students also visit the universities famous in their own province.
So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to open the university campus for tourists? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing for the students to visit the famous university campus in that it can enable the middle students to get more information about the university and they can have enough time and opportunity to prepare themselves with the chance to get into the university. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, the public tourism will have negative effect on the universities because it will not only do harm to the environment but also to the intellectual atmosphere.
In my opinion, the tourism to the universities is not a good thing. The campus is mainly a place for study. With the increasing tourism on the campus, it will ruin the spiritual atmosphere in this learning field.
首先，提纯范文 “谋篇布局”及结构模板。
第一段：提出问题或现象。Nowadays, … … have become one of the popular … …. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that … ….
第二段：正反列举人们的看法。So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to … …? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing for … … in that … …. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, … … will have negative effect on … … because it will not only do harm to … … but also to … ….
第三段：摆明自己观点。In my opinion, … … is not a good thing. … … With the increasing … …, it will ruin … ….
其次，提纯范文“段落写作”。
段落写作分为统一性，连贯性和完整性三方面。
统一性(unity：段落开头的主题句应该做到不可太宽泛，也不可太具体，做到有较强的概括性才能使下文做到有的放矢的展开。范文第二段首句以设问的方式提出一个问题is it a good or bad thing就有很强的概况性。下文自然会一方面从好的方面说明，另一方面从坏的方面说明。
连贯性(coherence：关联词是使文章段落之间相互连贯的必要条件。范文中nowadays, on one hand, on the other hand, in one’s opinion即以“启承转合”递进的顺序是文章条理清晰，层层展开。
完整性(completeness：以设问句“So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to open the university campus for tourists?”开头，这是平时较少运用的段落写作方式——设问法。“On one hand … …. On the other hand, … ….”是段落写作分类列举法的典型用法。
再次，提纯范文“句子写作”。
1. It has been shown that … …
类似句型：It is known to us that … …
It is said that … …
It is reported that … …
It is controversial that … …
2. “… … Tsing Hua University and Peking University and other famous universities … …。”——并列句。并列句是简单的复杂句。但其运用方法并不简单，注意练习并接句的使用，会使句子显的更加饱满。
3. enable v. 使…能够
I gave him full directions to enable him to find the house.
4. in that = because
表“因为”的连词还有since, for, as，如：
The boy was absent because he was ill. = The boy was absent since he was ill.
此句以我们常用的人称开头，句式简单，我们可以通过把since提前改变句式，如：
Since the boy was ill, he was absent. 句式多样化。
最后，提纯范文“措辞”。
1. attraction n. 具有吸引力的事情。
2. thousands and thousands 成千上万的
形容“多”的表达方法：millions and millions
a multitude of
a great deal of
a large amount of
plenty of
many a
3. “some people argued that … …”中的“argue”并不是“讨论，辩论”的意思，而是“认为”。
I argue that … …
I maintain that … …
I claim that … …
I insist that … … = I think that … …
I hold that … …
I assert that … …
I assume that … …
4. negative adj. 否定的.，相反的
hold negative view = hold opposite opinions
5. phenomenon n. 现象
social phenomenon 社会现象
natural phenomenon 自然现象
6. intellectual adj. 聪明的= intelligent, bright, clever
(选词策略：使用最近所学的单词，如intellectual > intelligent > bright > clever
在分析并掌握范文之后，我们需要运用范文知识练习仿写。笔者运用2005年12月范文中的模板结构仿写了2006年12月的四级作文，以供参考：
1. 许多人喜欢在除夕夜看春节晚会
2. 但有些人提出取消春节晚会
3. 我的看法
Nowadays, the Spring Festival Evening has become one of the popular topic and attractions during every traditional New Year’s Eve. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that every year thousands and thousands of Chinese people appear to be accustomed to enjoying the sights and sounds of a brilliant feast, while gathering with their beloved family.
However, an increasing number of people have voiced different opinions towards it. So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to cancel the Spring Festival Evening? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing to amuse the audience in that it is composed by a numerous adequate programs, such as the emotional song, the graceful dance, the funny short sketch, the amusing comic dialogue, the delightful magic, and the marvelous acrobatics and so on. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, the Spring Festival Evening will have negative effect on the family harmony because it will not only do harm to having the talks between family members on the Spring Festival Eve but also to enjoying the gourmet meal in a fancy restaurant.
In my opinion, the Spring Festival Evening is a good thing. It may not remain a must for all people, but it can bring us a strong sense of festivity and serve as an alternative among the variety of holiday activities. With the increasing audience of the Spring Festival Evening, it will ruin a distinctive culture during the Spring Festival vacation.

在这么多的小伙伴中，小猴顶顶瞧不起的就是小刺猬了。瞧他那丑样儿：满身插着大针，又尖又小的脑袋，老是缩在肚子下面，一副胆小怕事的样子。
有一天，小伙伴们在玩捉迷藏，小刺猬也想参加，小猴不高兴了："去去去，你凑什么热闹?"小鹿和小松鼠都为小刺猬求情道："让小刺猬来吧，小猴!""哼，让他来，他能干什么?呆头笨脑的。"小猴叽咕道。这话太不公平了!小白兔跳出来打抱不平："小刺猬并不笨，每天夜里他都能捉几只老鼠。""捉老鼠有什么了不起?"小猴提高了嗓门窗道，"他能像我跑得那样快吗?能像我一样爬上这棵树吗?"大伙儿不吭声了。
捉迷藏开始了。小白兔撒腿往草丛里跑，雪白的身子被长长的草遮住了。忽然，小白兔惊惶地尖叫起来"蛇!蛇!"小猴大喊一声"快跑!"他第一个转身就跑。小白兔、小松鼠和小鹿跟在后边。蛇拉直了身体，拼命朝前追。经过小刺猬跟前，小刺猬一下子咬住了蛇的尾巴，然后把头缩进肚子底下。蛇把头抬得高高的，凶狠地摇了摇，想咬死小刺猬。小刺猬一点儿也不害怕，还是紧紧地咬住蛇尾巴不放，蛇盘成一团，想绞死小刺猬。小刺猬鼓足劲，弓起背，全身的尖刺都竖起来。蛇的身上被刺了无数个小洞，蛇挣扎几下，最后一动也不动了。
小伙伴们回来后看到小刺猬把毒蛇给刺死了，大伙都说："多亏你救了我们!""小刺猬真了不起!"
小猴红着脸，低着头说："小刺猬，你勇敢，我以前小看你了，请原谅我吧!"
