范文一：恩波版
Recreational activities and study do not contradict each other, in fact, they complement each onter. As the saying goes, \"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.\" A life burdened with study and work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotion.
What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Uaually I don‟t spare time for exercise ,but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in field certainly relieves the days pressure. On weekends,. I‟ll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel a vived and energetic for another week‟s work-load.
To sum up, I strongly voice all the evidence justifies an unshakable view that our trans-century college students should choose recreational activities appropriately. Therefore, in a sense , only when we pay close attention to it can we see a meaningful extraordinary and harmonious future sooner or later.

Recreational activity
In people‟s daily life, there are various recreational activities apart from studying or working ranging from Karaoke or dancing to computer games or sports games.
Such activities are beneficial as well as harmful to us if undertaken inappropriately. On one hand, recreational activities can help us to not only build our body and mind but also improve our communication and understanding with friends because most of these activities are done with others. On the other hand, if we spend too much time on singing, dancing or other games, we might fail to concentrate on our duties such as studying our working, which in turn may lead to further consequences.
As far as I‟m concerned, recreational activities should be done within a certain limit so that we can keep a proper balance between recreation and studying or working life.

Recreational Activities
In the era of information and technology, there are all kinds of recreational activities. Some people think those recreational activities are great and necessary, because they can help people relax from the hard work and study. Some of the activities, such as
hiking, jogging, can help people relax physically; while some of them, such as surfing the Internet, can help people relax mentally.
However, some people think that so many kinds of recreational activities may have a bad effect on our lives. Some people may not resist some temptations from those activities, and indulge themselves in those activities. At last they are lured away from their study or their work.
In my opinion, we should pay more attention to the advantages of various recreational activities and make the most of them. Meanwhile, we should learn how to use those activities positively, and make them a helpful tool for our development.

Recreational Activities
21st century has brought with it an unprecedented variety of recreational activities ranging from traditional outdoor activities such as playing ball games to all kinds of online ones, the latter of which is a great appeal to the young generation. So I‟d like to narrow my topic down to online recreational activities.
It goes without saying that various activities brought by modern technology have greatly broadened our horizon and brought much excitement to us. With access to the Internet, you can get to know people from any country in the world and you can talk with them, play games with them --- a temptation very hard to resist, and even see them via web cam. The disadvantage, however, is that anyone who lacks self-control would very easily get lost and become addicted to the online world, which in turn might seriously affect their life, work and interpersonal relationships.
As a college student, I think what really matters is to make better choice and exert more discipline. We‟d better take advantage of good online recreational
activities to enrich our lives and broaden the scope of knowledge. When it comes to those addictive, time-consuming and less meaningful activities, I think to stay away from them is a wise decision.
Recreational Activities
With the development of living standard, people spend more time on various forms of recreational activities. People can do sports, singing karaoke, go dancing, go to the movies, play video games or online games, or surf the Internet.
Recreational activities are good to people‟s health, both physically and mentally. Sports and dancing can keep people fit. Singing karaoke, playing video games or online games can satisfy people‟s imagination. Surfing the Internet can bring people a lot of information and knowledge.
However, recreational activities might be harmful if people are addicted. Spending too much time on recreational activities will seriously influence people‟s normal lives, especially work and study. Therefore, people will benefit from recreational activities only if they take part in them properly.
范文五: 新东方版
Among various recipes one enjoys in his or her college life, recreational activities can by no means be ignored. It is numerous activities, such as spoken English competitions, sports events, and clubs and societies of different interests, that help to make campus life colorful and diversified.
Facing so many interesting extracurricular activities, we college students have trouble to choose the proper ones. As freshmen, we are confused by all kinds of posters for students‟ clubs to recruit new members. There are two opposite views
about recreational activities. One says they exert positive influence on a student‟s physical and mental development, for they can explore a student‟s talent, develop a student's ability in communication, and teach them to be more independent. While, opposite voices can also be heard by asserting that recreational activities waste too much time, and therefore may hinder student from focusing on his or her study.
As for me, I hold a belief that recreational activities do more good than harm, because I have always been of the impression that as a college student, he or she, besides the academic information, should pick up more practical skills to be better prepared for the career development. Recreational activities do give us a good chance. And, so long as one can arrange the time by reason, activities besides study will definitely provide more benefit for us.
作文考试类型
在具体分析此次四级作文题目之前，笔者先对历年四级作文考题的类型做个共性的研究。从类型上讲，历年考题大致可以分成四大类： 1．正反对比论证 2．现象原因，问题解决 3．图表
4．应用文(书信、演讲、海报等)
在上述四类题型中，最后一类是最近几年才出现在四、六级考试中的文体，主要考查考生的英语表达基本功和写作实力，很难有固定模式可言。但是另外三类是四级考试的传统题型，出现频率非常高，可以把握的规律性很强。 这次四级作文题目明显属于第一类，是历次作文中比较简单的一次，即针对某种社会问题，提出两种对立观点，最后要求作者阐述自己的观点。这类题型最早是从美国的托福作文题型借鉴而来，后来被四、六级考试广泛借鉴。但是自2005年6月份之后，由于其自身的古老性和模板化，该题型曾一度让位于其他题型，而今它再次活跃于四级作文考试的舞台。
真题评析
2008年6月份四级作文的标题和提纲如下： Recreational Activities 1．娱乐活动多种多样
2．娱乐活动可能使人们受益，也可能有危害性 3．作为大学生我的看法
从结构上看，此次四级考试作文提纲还是那种既经典又保守的“三段式”：第一段是一个非常典型的现象引入段，阐述背景，交代需要分析的一种现象；第二段列举两种对立观点，进行正反对比论证；第三段是传统的“我的看法”段，即表明作者自己的观点和态度。
就此次作文题目而言，我们可以在第一段中大致地介绍一下如今的信息社会。第一句可以用一个标准的现象引入句，第二句开始说明如今娱乐活动的多种多样。
在文章第二段，先阐释正面的观点，列举娱乐活动带来的好处。这其中考生们要注意自己的立场，同时要注意各个理由之间的逻辑关系，适当地运用表示层次关系的词语。正面观点阐述完毕后，对娱乐活动可能带来的危害性，可以用一两句话略写，同时附以一两条理由作为理论支持。
最后，在结尾段中，用简单明了的语言表明作者的态度即可。
对于正反对比论证结构的作文，笔者建议写的时候把握好以下三个要点 (以本次四级考试作文题目为例)：
第一，在作为引言的第一段中，我们一般要通过各种方法为第二段的主体讨论作铺垫。这些方法主要包括：背景介绍法、大意总结法、引用名言法、场景描写法、设问法等。其中最通用也最好用的方法就是背景介绍法。切忌在文章一开始就进行深入分析，要先简单地引入介绍，然后循序渐进地转入分析。简言之，首句引出话题，如：娱乐活动在社会上引起了热烈讨论(The issue of recreational activities has triggered a heated discussion in the society)；第二句具体说明现状，如：
越来越多的人热衷于参加娱乐活动(Increasing numbers of people are fond of taking part in various recreational activities)。
常见问题：用词匮乏。如：more and more, join等。
基本对策：改词换词。如：an increasing number of, take part in等。
第二，在第二段进行正反两方面论述的时候，考生要注意保持客观的态度，把两方面的观点表达清楚。论述的侧重点可以落在多数群体的观点上。在展开论证的时候，提倡具体形象地论证说明，反对笼统抽象地论述观点，所以可以通过说原因或举例子的方式使文章显得生动。 常见问题：结构不清，缺乏层次感。
基本对策：利用“总—分”结构，分如下三个层次进行论证。
层次1：将中文提纲句“娱乐活动可能使人们受益，也可能有危害性”翻译成英文放在第二段段首作为总起句，做到开门见山：No one could fail to notice both the favorable and unfavorable influence that recreational activities bring to people. 层次2：接下来说明“娱乐活动的益处”，然后用一到两条理由去支持该观点：Recreational activities are good to people's health, both physically and mentally.这其中考生要注意自己所站的立场，以及各理由之间的逻辑关系，在必要的地方添加表示层次关系的连接词。
层次3：接着考生要大胆地推翻前面所述的一些人的观点，用转折性的词语引出另一些人的观点，即“娱乐活动的危害性”。在这个层次中我们同样遵循前文的标准，给出一到两条理由作为理论支持，如：Spending too much time on recreational activities will seriously affect people's normal lives, especially work and study.
第三，第三段要求考生表明个人看法，这里考生可以围绕“取其精华，去其糟粕”的论点，表明针对多样的娱乐活动，可以利用其好处，对不好的地方避而远之：We might as well learn how to avoid some negative effects of recreational activities, when making the most of them.
常见问题：用语过于直白或极端。如：We must...
基本对策：要站在中庸的立场上，客观地评价。如：From my perspective, we should pay more attention to the advantages of various recreational activities.
“Rome was not built in a day.”要写出好的英语作文不是一朝一夕能够做到的，需要循序渐进和长期的训练。相信只要各位考生扎实训练基本功，必能在四级写作考试中取得好成绩。最后，附上四级写作范文一篇，供大家参考。 范文
Recreational Activities
It is a striking fact that the issue of recreational activities has triggered a heated discussion. In the era of information and technology, increasing numbers of people are fond of taking part in various recreational activities (ranging from watching TV, playing cards to surfing the Internet and so on).
Yet, no one could fail to notice both the favorable and unfavorable influence that recreational activities bring to people, because even Achilles has his weakness. On the one hand, recreational activities are good to people's health, both physically and mentally. For instance, sports and dancing can keep people fit, and surfing the Internet can bring people a lot of information and knowledge. On the other hand, recreational activities might be harmful if people are addicted. Spending too much time on recreational activities will seriously affect people's normal lives, especially work and study.
From my perspective, we should pay more attention to the advantages of various recreational activities. Meanwhile, we might as well learn how to avoid some negative effects of recreational activities when making the most of them. 上海理工大学外语学院 贾从永 转载自大学英语杂志
2008年6月21日的大学英语四级考试已落下帷幕。这次考试的作文题目又是密切联系生活的大众话题．相信同学们都有话可说。出题的形式又是最常用的汉语提纲式，暗示了文章的框架，只需按照提纲顺序写就可敷衍成文。 但如何安排文章内容，还需斟酌，印勿匆匆厂笔，离题万里。从这次作文的要求可看出第一点宜扩展成文章的引言段。最力便的写法是以描述现象开头，即
先用一、两句话简要叙述娱乐活动的多样性，然后顺势引出主题。
提纲第二点可扩展为主体段。虽然提纲中提到了“受益”和“危害”两个方面，但笔者以为：由于本文应阐明人们该如何娱乐或者参加怎样的娱乐活动，故不妨把较多笔墨花在阐述 ：„危害‟‟上。因为将不当娱乐的危害讲清，文章的主旨就水到渠成：大学生应该选择有利于身心的娱乐活动。
主体段是文章的核心，最能展示考生的英语功底，既要内容详实，沦证有力，又要在结构上有层次感、连贯性。首先，要有内在逻辑性。比如，在分析原因时，可沿着由表及里、由浅人深、由远而近的顺序；在分析后果叫，可按照由小到大、由轻到重、由直接到间接的顺序。在英语写作中，要write in and in，不要write on and on.
此外，适当地使用过渡词语是加强文章的连贯性和层次感的外在手段。过渡词语就像粘 合剂，起着承上启下、穿针引线的作用，可以使内容联系更为紧密，层次更为分明。比如，本文主体段的第三句中使用了转折副词however，就顺畅地从第一、二句的益处转到对危害的阐述。再如，本段从论述对身体的危害过渡到论述对思想的危害时用了worse，二者之间的层递关系便一目了然。
按照提纲的要求，第三点宜：扩展成文章的结尾段。结尾段要紧扣提纲，即从大学生自身的角度简要说明自己的看法和做法，注意人称要转为第一人称“我”。从文章引言段末尾的反问，经过主体段的分析论证，文章的主题已呼之欲山，结尾段用一句话点明主题即可。其次，结尾段还要注意与主体段内容的呼应，在结尾段中作者认为娱乐活动应该“既使人轻松又富有教益”，暗含主体段中的不当娱乐刘人身心的危害。总之，结尾段的写作要取豹尾之势，宜干脆利落，忌拖泥带水，一般不要超过二句话。
下面是笔者撰写的例文。
2008年6月21日大学英语四级考试作文试题： 1，娱乐活动各种各样。
2，娱乐活动可以使人们受益，也可能带来危害。 3．作为大学生，我认为-----
Recreational Activities
With booming economy and rising living standard of its people, China is now home to a vas array of recreational activities. Clamorous merrymakers flock to bars, internet cafes, dancing hall and nightclubs on weekend nights. Some claim that the Chinese are happier than ever before. But are they?
It is no doubt that recreational activities, if well chosen, play an indispensable part in our lives. They provide an outlet for our pent-up frustrations and energies, an occasion for networking and a showcase for our acting talent. However, recreations that are poorly chosen could bring harm to us, either physically or ideologically; or both. For example, over-night internet surfing or online chatting among some college students may cause difficulties for them to stay focused in class the next day. Worse are those who frequent nightclubs or bars that charge high fees for indecent performances such as kissing competition or even strip show.
As a college student, I believe that recreational activities should be both relaxing and enlightening. For me, a weekend dance on campus, a one-day excursion to the beach, or a trip to a painting exhibition will leave me fresh as a daisy.
2008年6月21日四级考试的写作部分考查的依旧是熟悉的老题型，而且是最古老的题型。从话题上看，今年的题目延续了往年的校园生活以及与考生们息息相关的娱乐活动话题，而并非众多考生押题时准备的社会时事话题，如奥运志愿者倡议书、汶川地震等。这一命题思路也提醒着广大考生，四、六级考试的写作题目还是和考研写作一样，关注的往往是社会的“次热点”话题。因此，在备考四、六级作文时，考生们不要把复习重点放在猜题、押题上，而应该扎扎实实地提高自己的语言水平、丰富自己的词汇量、积累经典句型，并把这些作为提升写作水平的根本途径。

The Internet
In the era of information and technology, the Internet has played an improtant role in our society. With the Internet, it's easy to get the information we need, improving the efficiency of our study and work. We can't deny that it is impossible for lots of people to achieve great success in the modern society without the Internet.
However, some people think that the Internet has a bad effect on the growth of the teenagers. The teenagers are too young to resist some temptations from the Internet. Some of them indulge themselves in the Internet and at last are lured away from the study.
In my opinion, we should pay more attention to the advantages of the Internet and make the most of it. Meanwhile, we should teach the teenagers how to use the Internet positively, and make the Internet a tool for their healthy development.

1.一次性塑料袋曾被广泛的使用 2.造成的问题 3.限制使用的意义 范文
Limiting The Use of Disposable Plastic Bags
Disposable plastic bags were once widely used in China. When we went shopping at supermarkets and departments stores, shopping assistants often provided free plastic bags for our convenience. For a while, life without them seemed unimaginable for most of us.
However, disposable plastic bags do bring severe damage to our environment. Costumers usually threw them away after use, and because they are thin and hard to decompose, these plastic products will exist for a long time. This is an immediate threat to our earth and water.
Nowadays, the government has passed relevant regulations for limiting the use of disposable plastic bags: they are not free any more. In some shopping places, in order to invoke the public awareness of environmental protection, plastic bags are offered in a much higher price. As a result, people are changing their behavior: paper and clothing bags that vanished for a long time come back to our daily life. It is true that by limiting its usage, everyone in this society contributes some effort to the improvement of the environment.

这是一篇试题中给出汉语写作提纲的作文，对于提纲类作文，学生在写作时应包括提纲中的全部内容，并且应按提纲给出的顺序依次表达。根据提纲提炼出与之相吻合的段落主题句是写好提纲作文的关键一步。因此，首先要审清题，构思好了才下笔，方能事半功倍。
范文的第一段是一个典型的先扩张后收拢式语段。即，第一句点出主题，中间的句子采用举例子的形式对主题句进行扩展，最后一句给出结论。第一句话紧扣题目中的大纲要求，直接对全文即将阐释的问题进行引入，描述了“一次性塑料袋曾被广泛的使用”这一社会现象。表示事实、现状的模板句有很多，我们可根据不同文章的写作内容需要机动、灵活地套用，例如，We cannot ignore the fact that… /This is a phenomenon that many people…/It is common to us
that…/Nowadays, with the development of economy/society等。此外， 最后一句中的“seemed”（似乎是，而实际上并非如此）一词形象地把人们已经习惯使用一次性塑料袋的现象表现出来，且有一定的用词宽度。
范文的第二段笔锋一转，谈到我们这种“似乎离开就无法想象”的生活习惯所造成的危害。第二段的主题句为“使用一次性塑料袋给环境带来了危害”。段首的过渡词“However”使用恰到好处，表示对照，具有转折的含义，类似的表对照的过渡词还有nevertheless / while / whereas / on the contrary / on the one hand, … on the other hand,…/ for one thing, … for another, …在这些过渡词中，however 和nevertheless不仅常用于表示句与句之间的转折关系， 也常用与表示段与段之间的转折关系；while 和whereas 在图标作文的句子写作中非常有用，表示一个事物的数量或比例增加了，而另一个事物的数量或比例减少了；on the other hand 可以单独使用，不一定上文非要使用on the one hand 不可。此句中“do bring severe damage to our environment.”中的“do”表示强调以及确定。在肯定句中助动词+动词原形的用法表示强调，一般用于加强语气。第二句分析了一次性塑料袋给环境造成危害的原因。最后一句再次强调具体地对“earth and water”造成了直接危害。“an immediate threat to…”此短语表示对……的……(什么程度的)危害。
范文的第三段主要阐明“限制使用一次性塑料袋的意义”。其实限制使用的意义一两句话就可表明，但文章可能会稍显单调，本文第三段紧扣时事，把国家颁布的“禁塑”法令搬出来表明限制使用一次性塑料袋的必要性。同时，作为总结，表明自己的观点“通过限制使用，人们为保护环境贡献出了自己的力量”。尤其是“are changing their behavior”中进行时态的使用给人联想的空间，似乎看到了人们使用“paper and clothing bags”的壮举。“It is true that” 是一种表示事实、现状的常用句式，类似的句式还有，We cannot ignore the fact that… / No one can deny the fact that…等。“contributes some effort to…”意为“为……做出自己的努力”。第三段同时从权威性以及个人两方面表明了“限制使用一次性塑料袋的意义”。
主题明确，结构清晰，文意连贯，而且有一些值得考生借鉴的四级写作常用句式及过渡词，用词宽度与巧妙也值得推敲，这是本篇范文的一大亮点。
For many years we have been using disposal plastic bags when we are shopping on the market, and most often these bags are offered by the shops for free. This, undoubtedly, has brought us great convenience in our daily life.
However, its disadvantages are also very apparent, and I‟ll just venture to explore two aspects. For one thing, the plastic bags are mostly indecomposable in the natural state so that with the increasing use of these bags, it will not only seriously bring about the so-called “white pollution” to the environment, it can also cost us a lot to have them decompose completely so as to minimize their damage to the environment. For another, the production of plastic bags are often not strictly supervised, so a large proportion of the bags don‟t meet the requirements for healthy products, which means the more we use them, the more likely we are to suffer in health.
The negative effects of the plastic bags are far serious than what I‟ve mentioned above, so it‟s high time the government issued strict laws and measures to stop using
the bags. By so doing, we can save a lot of money from producing these bags as well as return a cleaner earth to ourselves and the later generations. 交大外院四六级专家团
就本文来说，按照题目的要求，第一段需要点明现象，写一下现在塑料袋的普遍使用，这里不需要过度描述，因为本文的重点主要在后面。第二段需要分析一下塑料袋使用带来的问题，一般提两点就可以，比如它会导致white pollution, 影响人们健康，harm people‟s health，最后一段是限制塑料袋的意义。其实按照四六级现象型考题的特点，最后一段往往会要求写就这个问题我们该怎么办？但事实是我们国家已经于6月1日刚实行超市的\"限塑令\"，因此在这里我们可以谈两点意义，比如提高了群众的环保意识，当然需要用到我们在课堂上反复提及的\"enhance people‟s awareness for environmental protection\"。此外最重要的是要尽量避免拼写和语法错误，比如这里很多同学可以需要用到convenient,来解释人们使用塑料袋的原因，或者是phenomenon现象来开题，尤其是题目中的关键词，一次性塑料袋，disposable plastic bags, 在英文标题中本有出现，应充分利用。
2003年1月CET作文题目
Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic It Pays to Be Honest. You should write at least 100 words according to the outline given below in Chinese.
1. 当前社会上存在许多不诚实的现象 2. 诚实利人利已，做人应该诚实
［范文］
Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. For example, some businessmen sell fake product to their consumers; some students cheat in the exams.
Dishonest people are short-sighted. Those who sell fake products may make money at first, but consumers won‟t buy their products any more. As a result, they will lose their fortune or even be sent to prison. By contrast, honest people gain a lot.
Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust
them but gain respect from other people as well. Such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends. Because they are trustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends with them, Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job. Generally speaking, every employer wants his employees to be honest. So we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later.
In a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honor. So it is important that we should be honest.

In modern era, there are quantities of people having started to suggest that our famous campus should be opened to our tourists from different places while others suggest not. This problem has caused a heated discussion in our society.
People's attitude towards this phenomenon varies widely. Many people maintain that our campus has its regular arrangement for students‟ daily study and life. Therefore, we shouldn‟t disturb to some extent. So they think that our campus can‟t be opened to all. However, as every sword has two edges, others argue that opening campus to tourists is feasible. Every famed college has a long history with which every foreigner acquaint themselves.
All in all, my personal view is that, as the latter above, our campus should be opened widely. This will make more people know our culture and history. Therefore, if we start to manage it properly, our college will be led to a more harmonic and splendid environment in the near future.
