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。
首先破题,“做好事应不应当期望回报?”两种观点,一种是应该得到回报,另一种是认为应当想雷锋一样做好事不图回报。然后写“我的观点”。第一段总起说一句对于是否应该期望得到回报这个话题有不同的看法,然后马上接着说第一种观点。When it comes to whether one should expect a reward when doing a good deed, people’s opinions differ.这个句子相信大家再熟悉不过。第二段直接写第二种的对立观点。最后一段写我的观点,可以赞同第一种,或者同意第二种观点,也可以两种都有条件地支持。实在觉得最后一段字数写不够了,也可以说现在存在什么问题,并想出解决方法。
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.
首先在第一段,简要提出经典的重要性,举例说明。可以用上特定句型开头,任举一例,Nobody could have failed to notice the fact that reading classics plays an important role in the growth of people. 之后展开说明阅读经典是如何影响成长的,可以用几本名著来辅证自己的观点。这个地方就有个问题了,许多同学马上就想到了“四大名著”,但是发现四大名著的名称却不知道怎么用英文来表达。我就一直要求同学们平常要注意积累,但是已经上了考场,没有积累就要想办法,完全可以举出一些表述比较简单的“经典”,最简单的比如说《圣经(Bible)》,或者直接用“哪个作家的作品”来表述经典。总之,没有做不到,只有想不到。
第二段当中先总的说一下现在愿意阅读经典的人越来越少了,切忌less and less这样的恶俗语言。后面紧接着分析原因,可以想到的原因有很多,比如现代人的生活节奏越来越快,以致于忙得没有时间静下心来读书;新兴的媒体,比如网络对于人们阅读习惯的改变;现代社会快餐式文化产品的兴起对经典的冲击,等等。六级作文,作为考试作文,观点并不重要,重要的是语言。
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.
