Movie:Forrest Gump

Director:Robert Zemeckis

Time:1993

Shining sentences:

Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. There is an awful lot you can tell about a person by their shoes.

Miracles happen every day.

His back's as crooked as a politician.

Stupid is that a stupid does.

Be a little more stupid,get a little more happinese

The movie "Forrest Gump" tells us a story about the whole life of Forrest Gump, whose IQ was only 75 but who has experienced a colorful and unpeaceful life. His love for running made him admitted to a college, become a soccer star and receive President Kennedy's interview. Then he took part in the army, went to the Vietnam and became an entrepreneur after that.

This movie is such an inspiring movie, which has touched countless people. Many classic dialogues in the movie became so famous that some of them are still referenced frequently today. My roommate said Forrest was such a poor man. On the contrary, what a lucky man he was in my mind. Although he was not as smart as normal people, nor did he have a rich family. But the God didn't forget him, these drawbacks gave him many virtues such as persistence and trustworthy which helped him overcome difficulties and gave him opportunities to develop his exercise talents. We should notice that it was these virtues that make him so successful, which we should think over deep on ourselves.

As Forrest's mother said, stupid is as stupid does. Nevertheless, Forrest isn't stupid at all in my opinion, he just turned his "stupid" into his strength unconsciously. It is interesting that he loved running from an early age, so he ran to school, ran to home and ran to everywhere. It may sound a little crazy, but when it comes to ourselves, if we could be keen to do something like Forrest was, how can't we succeed? Forrest kept words for his friend and sold shrimp then he got rich; Forrest kept his promise for Jenny, then his wait finally paid off. It is so thought provoking that the key to Forrest's success is that he just didn't care too much, his wishes were simple and his goal was always clear. Meanwhile, under no circumstances would he turn his back to his friends.

In a word, stupid isn't bad. What makes a man stupid indeed is that he cares too much about self and neglect others. If we try to make our goals more clear, to do things a little more "stupid", we may find this world a little better and we will also be a little happier.

Sample Writing(CET-6 20xx年12月)

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to make your life more meaningful. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

14分

Whether in the past or present, human beings constantly have the sense of urgency that life is so transient that it just passes away in a blink of an eye. Therefore, to make full use of life we should spend it for something that will outlast it.

However, what are those things that can outlast our limited lives? In my view, they are contributions to science, culture and charitable affairs. Issac Newton, for example, laid the foundation of Mechanics in Physics, which is remembered forever. Mozart, an outstanding musician, composed symphonies that never die. Mother Teresa helped thousands of poverty-stricken people in India. She is remembered as a caring and loving hero. Their accomplishments are the extension of their lives.

As for me, I will make my life meaningful by doing the following. Firstly, as a student majoring in Physics, I will keep pursuing truth in this field. Secondly, I will work as a volunteer and spend my spare time giving a helping hand to the needy, making them feel loved.

In brief, we shall consider carefully what we can do and then devote ourselves to what leads us to a meaningful life.

11分

“The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” I totally agree with this motto. Just as a famous saying goes like this, “The meaningfulness of life does not depend on how much you get, but how much you contribute to the society!”

Take Bill Gates for example, he creates a big fortune, makes our life more convenient and creates thousands of job opportunities at the same time. He uses his bucks to help people in need. We can see his value in his charity and donation.

As for me, I will live a meaningful life in two simple ways. First, I will study hard to broaden my horizon and enhance my ability, which enable me to help more people in the future. And secondly, I will spare my idle time to do some voluntary work, applying the theory into practice. When I help them, I feel a sense of achievement.

Life is short and we need to spend it in a meaningful way. We don’t want to waste our life and gain nothing at the end of our life, do we?

8分

The remark, which says “The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.”, provides us with a method to live a meaningful life.

It is really necessary for us to understand how to achieve a good life. We could easily learn from the famous people who ask themselves how could they live a meaningful life. For example, Qian Xuesen, a well-known scientist, he devotes his whole life to our country. Although there were many difficulties before he came back to our country, he insisted coming back to our country and develop the technology of our country. From him, it must be a meaningful life.

As a college student, what we could do? I should learn from him. but it is not enough. I should spend every minutes to do what I major, finish my study well and try my best to contribute to our own country. I think it must make our life more meaningful and encourage us to do better. Time is limited. But we should make unlimited meanings in our life.

5分

It is important for us to value our life, not only we can donate our life time to anything what we want to do, but also we should enlarge it for long. On the one hand, we can achieve ourselves value, on the other hand, it is likely to change our world in a day! What makes life meaning is that to spend it for something will outlast it! In the past time, many figures set examples for us in order to build a new nation.

As far af I am concerned, although I am not able to change world like Jobs, but I can change myself to make my family happier than before. Being a figure, it addict many people to achieve it, is not my life aim. What I want to do is that be a good student, a nice daughter and a trust friend.

Meaningful life is a little which is aim to different people. Do what you want to is the great use of life and trust yourself it can outlast your life.

2分

Many people used to say that life is hard and you didn’t to do maybe was late. We should spend it for something that will outlast it, you could feel good.

I consider that spend time to do that will outlast thing maybe not bad. It not make you successes but increased your confidence. The outlast thing usually was very hard to accomplished for yourself, but you did and explained your belief successful, everyone usually have some regret things that to did but now, spend it for things that will outlast it, you are hero.

For example, the Olympic champion Deng Yaping, when she was young, she was more hard in table tennis. Finally become a great player in the world.

So , make greatest use of life is to it for something that will outlast. You did, you deserve. To make my life more meaningful, I thought of play exercise is not bad, because is good for your health and it was important.

4.问题解决型议论文

解决问题型作文主要有以下两种作文结构：

1． 指出问题及解决的必要性/重要性——解决途径——总结

2． 描写问题或者现象——说明原因——解决途径

近年来，四级作文倾向于把问题解决和现象分析结合在一起。如20xx年6月的四级作文题目，从给出的提纲来看，作文不仅要求在第二段分析现象的原因，而且在结束段还要求把解决方法提出来。此类作文要把如何分析原因的句子结构和模板好好运用起来。

1. 第一种作文结构：指出问题及解决的必要性/重要性——解决途径——总结

3． 第二类：描写问题或者现象——说明原因——解决途径

题目：

College Students' Job Hunting

1. 近几年出现了大学生就业难的现象

2. 产生这种现象的原因

3. 如何解决这一问题

College Students' Job Hunting

In recent years, college students find it increasingly difficult to get a job. It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play. Then what underlies the strange phenomenon?

There are several reasons for this. To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high. All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others. Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider not “good” enough. Another reason is that there is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs. So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.

Solution to the problem requires efforts on both the society and the students. The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains. And college students should be down-to-earth in building up their career. Furthermore, they should face their weaknesses so as to improve themselves when they are learning. Only in this way could they be more competent for the future jobs.

5. 图表式议论文同所有议论文一样，也可以分成三部分，包括：引言，描述讨论数据，提出建议（结论）。

第一段，引言部分。它主要起引导作用，是对主题的导入和理论句的铺垫。之后，应该对于图表下一个明确的结论，即图表究竟说明了什么。这样下结论的句式有很多，下面列举其中一些：

The table/chart diagram/graph shows (reveals, indicates, points out) that….

According to the table/chart/diagram graph,….

According to the figure/data statistics given in the table/chart/diagram/graph,….

As (is) shown in the table/ chart/diagram/graph,….

As can be seen from the table/ chart/diagram/graph/figures,….

The figure/statistics shows that….

The table/ chart/diagram/graph figures that….

The table/ chart/diagram/graph shows/describes illustrates how….

例如：

According to the figures shown in the table, we can see that great changes have been taking place in people’s diet over the period from 1988 to 1998.

The chart reveals that the number of road accidents is spiraling upward every year as more and more highways are constructed all over China.

After considering the information in the graph, we might conclude that the energy structure in rural areas has been greatly improved over the past 15 years.

It can be concluded from the graph that there has been a great decline in birth rates in China in the past five years.

第二段，详细描述、讨论图表。

描述数量变化的句式，最常用的表达莫过三种：一是动词短语；二是 there be +名词词组；

三是 something is +介词短语。下面是这三种基本形式，有些稍有变化。

1.表示增长

There is a rapid rise in ….

Something is on the rise/increase….

There has been a sharp/marked/dramatic increase….

例如：

The cotton output in this area has increased rapidly in the past few years.

2.表示减少

Something is on the decrease/decline….

There has been a sudden/steady/gradual/slow decrease/decline….

By comparison with…, it dropped/fell/decreased from…to…/by…

例如：

By comparison with 1990, it dropped by 15 percent.

3.表示稳定

The curve of… remains steady (stays the same, levels off) from…to… (between… and…)

There was little change (hardly any change) in the number of… from… to…. (between… and…) 例如：

There appeared an even more stable/consistent/steady tendency to rise/drop.

The curve has leveled off (stayed the same/remained unchanged) for 2 years and the trend will be continuing.

4.表示极值

The monthly profit (The figures or The situation)… peaked (reached a peak) in/at + time +at + number.

The curve bottomed out (reached the bottom, hit a trough) in/at + time +at +number.

例如：

The curve of GDP growth rate reached its bottom last year at five percent.

第三段，结论或者建议。一般图表作文都要求对某个社会问题进行分析，因此，提建议也成为一个必要的步骤。

7. 图画作文 作文的第一段，要进行简单描绘图画内容，这是必须的，也是题目中强制要求的（a brief description of the picture）。

作文的第二段，进行主旨提炼并且论述。题目中有可能已经透露了主题。

作文第三段，总结，启发。

It seems to me that the cartoon / drawing is sending a message about ____________（图画内容），which reveals ____________（稍作评价）.In my perspective of view, ____________ （表明个人观点）。

Apparently, ____________（将个人观点和图片内容相结合，得出观点。）For one thing, ____________（从社会角度论证）. For another thing, ____________（从个人角度说明）. For example, ____________（自己、朋友或他人，只要自己知道或听过的例子）.Last but not least,

____________（从反面角度谈论）. As a result, the drawer of the illustration is urging us to _____________（建议或措施）.Only in this way can we ____________（展望结果）.

In conclusion / To my understanding, ____________（再次表明观点或态度）. We should ____________（进一步说明个人的观点）.

8.哲理论证型

要求考生针对反映生活哲理的某个成语、格言、谚语、警句等做出解释，并论证其寓意的正确性。如：

Practice Makes Perfect. （1997.1）

Practice Makes Perfect

It is well known that practice makes perfect. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing To do well is to try, try, and try again. That is how I understand "Practice makes perfect."

Take the study of English for example. In the beginning, it seemed hard to me to pronounce each word correctly and to memorize the grammar rules, sentence structures and the whole texts. By reading the texts over and over, listening to the tape again and again, and writing and speaking more and more, I have and the language. Experience tells me "Practice makes perfect".

结构模式：

第一段：谚语+通俗解释。

第二段：论证。用举例法或反证法论述其意义。

第三段：结论。再次强调主题。

9. 书信

英文书信分为两大类：公务信件和私人信件。公务信件是单位与单位或单位与个人之间来往的书信，可能是推荐信、求职信、入学申请书、邀请信，或询问、答复、反映意见（如投诉信）等的信件。私人信件是指亲戚朋友之间的通信。这两类书信各有自己的格式。一般说来，私人信件不拘形式，信文多用手写，也可打印；公务信件要求比较严格，必须遵循一定的格式，信文一定要打印。

英文书信的结构

英文书信一般由以下六部分组成：信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。

1． 信头（Heading）

信头是指发信人的地址和日期，通常写在第一页(信封)的右上角。行首可以齐头写，也可以逐行缩进写。地址的书写顺序由小到大：门牌号、街道、城市、省（州）、邮编、国名，最后写发信日期。私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。例如：

123 Tianhe Road

Tianhe District

Guangzhou 510620

Guangdong Province

P. R. C.

March 15, 2002

2. 信内地址（Inside Address）

信内地址要写收信人的姓名和地址。在公务信件中要写明这一项，在私人信件中，这一

项常常省略。该项写在写信日期下一行的左上角，格式与寄信人地址一样。

3. 称呼（Salutation）

称呼是对收信人的称谓，应与左边线对齐，写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。在称呼后，英国人常用逗号，美国人则常用冒号。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字，但公务信件中一定要写收信人的姓。大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。如：

Dear Professor/Prof. Bergen:

Dear Dr. Johnson,

对不相识的人可按性别称呼：

Dear Sir: 或Dear Madam: 或Dear Ladies：

如果不知收信人的性别则可用Dear Sir or Madam:

4 . 正文（Body of Letter）

正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是，英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语，再阐明写信的目的，而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的，然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求，并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时，应该直截了当，意思明确，层次清楚，言简意赅。

书信正文的第一句话或第一段，通常被称为起首语。一般说来，人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始，即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述，以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信，也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍，并表明自己写信的主要目的。

5. 结尾礼词（Complimentary Close）

公务信件的结尾礼词包含两部分：发信人的结尾套语与署名。结尾套语写在签名上面一行，第一个字母要大写，套语结尾后面要加逗号。在公务信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：

Yours truly, Yours sincerely, Respectfully yours, Cordially yours, Yours cordially等。 私人信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：

Sincerely yours, Lovely yours, Your lovely, Your loving son/daughter等。

6. 签名（Signature）

写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信，签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草，不易辨认，因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。

September 15, 2014

Dear Sir or Madam:

I’m writing to complain about a typewriter I bought seven months ago.

In February of 2014 I bought a Jones Typewriter, Portable Special Model, at ABC Store, I had used it only a few days when the space bar broke.

I took it to a local shop, they told me it was factory defect and suggested I take it back to ABC. ABC accepted the machine and sent the part in. I waited three months, and since your company did not send a replacement, they let me have the space bar from another typewriter.

Now, six months later, it has broken again. I took it back to ABC. They are no longer carrying your typewriter, but they assured me that the guarantee is still good and suggested that I write you for further instructions as to what steps to take.

便条的写作

便条是书信的一种形式，是为约会、道歉、邀请、请求、致谢、祝贺、慰问及留言等目的而写的简短信函。便条的格式比一般书信要简单，它的基本格式为：

日期（便条的右上角）

称呼 (必须有，可以比书信随便些)

正文 （注意语言的口语化）

署名 （便条的右下角）

特点：中心突出，简洁明了。多使用短句、简单句、主动语态，多为日常用语或口语。

Grace,

I’m sorry that I failed to meet you at the gate of the auditorium this morning. Professor Smith’s lecture lasted much longer than I expected. I will come over to your apartment at five o’clock this afternoon if it is convenient for you.

With many apologies.

Yours Sincerely

Anna
