真题解析一：On Doing Small Things
On Doing Small Things
图画的内容和构图不难：父亲和男孩子的对话，孩子说“ Dad，I am a bit worried about disposing of nuclear weapon. (爸爸，我有点担心清除核武器这个问题)”父亲则回答“ If you can empty the dustbin, you can do anything. (如果你能把垃圾桶倒掉，你就能做好任何事情)” ，说话间，手指着垃圾桶。
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)。描述的时候，只要把父子两的对话移植到第一段，然后把父亲手指垃圾桶的动作描绘一下就可以了，非常简单。
作文的第二段，进行主旨提炼并且论述。这幅图画很容易看出主题，那就是做大事之前，要先做小事(一屋不扫，何以扫天下)，而且题目中其实早就已经透露了主题了 (express your views on the importance of doing small things before undertaking something big)。因此，第二段通篇论述小事做起的重要性就可以了。属于作文三大分类之“积极主题，论述意义”。
作文第三段，总结，启发。这一段再次强调小事做起的意义，我们不能低估它的威力。文章最后可以以名人名言作为结尾。
请看范文
We can see from the cartoon that there is a father talking with his son. Having heard his son’s words that “Dad, I am a bit worried about disposing of nuclear waste。” The father replies that “ If you can empty the dustbin here, you can do anything” and points the garbage can beside him。
Funny and common as the conversation sounds, it reflects that the father intends to advise his son to do small things before undertaking big.Definitely, doing small things is the first step of success and will lay root for doing something big. By doing something small, we are able to accumulate experience, master skills and train ourselves to be more patient. In other words,we can be well prepared for further challenges in the course of fulfilling small things. By contrast, those who desire to do something big at once will constantly be haunted by disappointment, frustrations or even failures, As when opportunities“something big” appears, they can hardly seize them because of the lack of experience and confidence stems from doing small things. Taking the picture presented above as a case in point, how can the little boy succeed indisposing of nuclear weapons if he even doesn’t know how to empty the dustbin?
From my perspective, under no circumstances should we under value the power of doing small things. Instead, we should regard small things as the source of experience, skills and the prerequisite of success. “Great achievement only belongs to those who can do small things perfectly” aristotleused to say.
真题解析二：The importance of reading literature
图画中，师生站在一个教师里，老师给学生一本书，挺厚的，孩子讶然，震惊并由几分不情愿。老师就安慰并鼓励学生：“ 你就当做是在读一个长篇短信就行了”。
这幅图说明一个什么主题？说明的是，学生代表的现代人，都没有耐心阅读长篇的文字，比如文学作品，而更倾向于阅读短篇的、速食的信息。心态浮躁，没有耐性。这是一个负面现象。
写作的时候，依旧分成三段来写：
第一段，图画描述，将师生的动作，对白都要写出来。
第二段，分析原因，分析一下现代人，或者是学生，为什么不太喜欢读长篇的,信息量大的文学作品：一、现代人已经更加习惯于读来自互联网和电子交流工具诸如微博、手机和QQ的短篇信息，认为这样省时省力；二、相当多的人认为文学作品枯燥乏味，而且在现代生活中没有什么用处.
第三段，进入主题，阅读文学的重要性，不写出这点，跑题，要扣分。阅读文学有什么意义呢？一、可以丰富知识拓展视野；二、可以激发人们批判性的、独立性的思维；三可以完善人格，使人变得耐心和积极乐观。因此，我们为什么不花点时间在文学上呢？
范文赏析：
From the cartoon given above, we can observe that there is a teacher and a student standing in the classroom. When receiving a literature book given by her teacher, the little girl seems to be quite nervous and unwilling. Having observed her student’s response, the teacher tells her that “Just think of it as if you are reading a long text-message。”
The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon that quite a few students or youngsters are reluctant to read literature nowadays. With the Internet and electronic communication tools such asmicroblogs, mobile phones and QQ becoming increasingly widespread, quite a few people are more used to reading short context. They hold that, compared with long contents such as literature, these short ones are more convenient and timesaving. What’s more, many students refuse to read literature in that they believe that literature is boring and of little use in modern society。
However, no one can disclaim the importance of reading literature. It enables people to enrich their knowledgeand expand their horizons. Moreover, reading literature also inspires people to think critically and independently. Last but not least, by spending time inreading literature, we can also develop and perfect human personality such asbeing patient and optimistic. Hence, why not just get out of the reality temporarily and spend some time on literature ?
真题解析三：
首先，要看懂图画的表面意义，再有就是他的深层本质。
图画中，一群学生坐在教室里，样子都傻傻地。老师正在讲解乘法口诀表，教的不亦说乎！这个时候一个傻孩子突然提问：“老师，我无意冒汗，但是等到我们工作的时候，这些你教的东西不会过时吗？”
图画作文，还是上来就写三段：
第一段：图画描述，这个是本能，是直觉，同时，也是题目中明确要求的(abrief description of the picture)，所以你不描绘图画，或者是图画信息不全，扣分。描述的时候，你要把学生提问的那句话写出来，把老师教课的动作写出来，以及老师听到学生挑衅性的提问之后的表情，也要写出来。
第二段：提炼挖掘图画的内涵。孩子对老师教的知识，确切地说，是对老师教授的基本知识、非实用性知识的一种质疑。所以，你可以在第二段分析一下原因：为什么学生，也就是现代人的代言，对这种不能马上用于工作的、带来回报的、理论性的基础指示和技能不懈?
第三段：结论和表态，分析完了原因之后，你要回到主题，那就是我们不能忽视这些基本技能，要唤起大家对“基本技能的重要性”的认识。所以，这一段，你可以正面阐述为什么basic skills 如此的重要，就可以了。
范文：
As is vividly depicted in the cartoon given above, we can observe that there are many students sitting in a classroom.When listening to the teacher, one of the students just interrupts the teacherand says “ No offense, but by the time we’re in the job market, won’t that stuff be outdated?” Having heard this question, the teacher stops demonstrating the Multiplication Table and seems to be quite shocked and embarrassed。
The cartoon informs us of the phenomenonthat quite a few students under value the importance of learning basic skills these days. Confronted with fiercer competition from society and employmentmarket, students are more focused on practical skills which can be applied indaily work immediately. Moreover, they also fears that the basic knowledge and skills they learn today will be outdated by the time they are in the jobmarket。
However, no one can disclaim the importance of learning basic skills. It enables us to lay a strong foundation for further learning and exploration. In other words, those who have mastered basic skills well are more likely to acquire other skills and knowledge withease. Basic skills are equivalent to the first step of success, as an ancient Chinese saying goes, “ A road of thousand miles towards the success begins with the first step。”
20##年6月英语四级作文真题及范文：商品过度包装
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled College Students on the Job Market. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below.
1. 许多商品都存在过度包装的现象
2. 出现这种现象的原因及其带来的后果
3. 为了改变这种状况，我认为……
范文一：
On Excessive Packaging
I assume that you are familiar with the phenomenon of “Excessive Packaging”. Taking a look aroundwe can find examples with easea small computer is packed in a thick and heavycartonclothes are putted in a well-designed plastic bagsand moon-cakes are usually placed in delicate boxes.
What are the causes of this problem? On the one hand, to earn moreeconomic gains, a considerable number of manufactures usually wrap their products with unnecessary but appealing materials aiming at attracting customers attention , arousing their curiosity and then stimulating their purchasing desire. On the other hand, quite a few customers believe that the moredelicate the package seemsthe superior the quality will be,the notion has also encouraged the trend of excessive packaging.
To change this situation, I think we should take the following measures. First, laws must be made and implemented to impose restriction onexcessive packaging. Moreover, a public education campaign should be launched to arouse customers' consciousness that packaging doesn't equal to quality. Only in this way can we put an end to this trend.
范文二：
In recent years, the excessive use of packages has become quite a serious problem in China. As forthe reasons of excessively packaging, there are many factors contributing to it.
It is conceivable that the excessive packaging has mainly arisen from the two following factors. For one thing, people in mounting numbers are inclined to send a variety of gifts to their relatives and friends, especially during the holidays, and decorated gifts sometimes are a symbol of good taste. For another, the dealers are in the purpose of making more money by packaging the products to the largest extent.
Taking all the above-mentioned factors into consideration, it is quite urgent for us to take effective measures to cope with it. We consumers should basically concentrate more on the quality of the commodities rather than the packages; meanwhile, the government should also put restrictions on the excessive packaging. Only in this way can we guarantee the harmonious development of the market as well as ourselves.

From the bar chart given above, we can observe that it reflects the statistics of income among people of different educational background. Those who possess a doctoral degree earn 1,551dollars median weekly, ranking first among people of other education level. The median weekly earnings of people with associate degree and below cannot reach the average of 797 dollars, ranking from 768 dollars to 451 dollars. As for the unemployment rate, 2.5 % of people with doctoral degree will suffer form unemployment. However, the unemployment rate of people with some college, no degree and lower degree surpass the mean value of 7.6%, ranking from 8.7% to 14.1%.
The bar chart of Education Pays reveals a phenomenon that there exits some difference in incomes and unemployment rate among people with different educational level. Quite a few reasons can account for this phenomenon: for one thing, with the advancement of technology and the adjustment of industrial structure, quite a few high-tech industries emerge overnight, which leads to a soar demand of workforces with high educational degree, thus, it is natural that graduates with bachelor and higher degree get a high pay-packet and enjoy a stable job. Additionally, those with educational background under associate degree are easily dismissed and paid by low salary. They can be replaced any time due to the fact that their jobs are easy and can be finished by average people.
Definitely, the higher education degree you get, the more likely you are to enjoy a competitive edge in the employment market. Thus, the authorities should enforce some policies to ensure the equity of education. Only in this way can more people lead a stable and comfortable life.
20##年6月英语四级作文真题及范文：Online Shopping
1、 现在网上购物已成为一种时尚
2、网上购物有很多好处，但也有不少问题
3、我的建议
Nowadays, with the rapid development of information technology, online shopping has gained great popularity among more and more web users. For example, it is fashionable for youngsters to purchase daily essentials, such as books, clothes, electrical equipment, on some famous website, like Taobao, EBay and Alibaba.Undoubtedly speaking, online shopping has many advantages. Firstly, compared with traditional shopping, it’s very convenient. What you need to do is just clicking your mouse and waiting instead of going out by foot or driving. Secondly, more choices than real store are another attraction to customers. However, in spite of convenience and more choices of online shopping, we cannot turn a blind eye to its disadvantages. Obviously, quality problem is its first disadvantage. It’s common that articles aren’t so good just as they are described online that customers always buy fake commodities. In addition, it’s troublesome and annoying for many customers to make a change when they are not satisfied with what they bought online.
As a college student, I like online shopping but I expected that effective measures should be taken to make it better.Specifically speaking, government should work out strict regulations and rules to prevent unfaithful and unlawful activities of online shop owners. Only by this way can online shopping become really safe and attract an increasing number of customers.
20##年12月英语四级真题及范文：Noting Succeeds Without a Strong Will
1、坚强的意志是成功的重要保证
2、意志坚定的人才能完成伟大的使命
3、学生也是这样，不刻苦学习，终究不会成为有用之才
“Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will” is accumulated experience we inherited from our forefathers. It stands to reason that persistence is vital to success; nevertheless, one’s end can never be accomplished with the lacking firmness of will.
A case in point is the quitting of smoking. On the eve of the World No-Tobacco Day this year, the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Public Health advocated that campus smoking-control intervention should be the forerunner of the nationwide smoking-control efforts, which, undoubtedly, has motivated the campaign of “Smoking-free School” that has been sweeping the whole of China. In the advance of the movement, the humorous saying has acquired a proverbial currency, “Quitting smoking is the easiest thing world. I’ve done it hundreds of time.” Obviously, wanting in perseverance, these smokers will never fulfill their purposes.
From what have been discussed above, we can reasonably come to the conclusion that only those tough-minded people can reach the summit. Otherwise, even if you have tried hundreds of times, you are still at the foot of the mountain, admiring those successful climbers.
20##年6月英语四级作文真题及范文：Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling
1. 如今不少学生在英语(论坛)学习中不重视拼写，
2. 出现这种现象的原因是…
3. 为了改变这种状况，我认为….
Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling
Nowadays, students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study. This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.
There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon. First, exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling. Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching. Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.
Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to i-t. As for me, I think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help student, pay more attention to spelling. Then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance. Finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word spelling. Only by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.
20##年12月英语四级作文及范文：How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent?
Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent? You should write at least 120 words folllowing
The outline given below.
1. 目前不少父母为孩子包办一切
2. 为了让孩子独立，父母应该……
How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent？
It is nothing unusual to find overprotective parents who help their children in all aspects of life. The question is, are they sure their heart loaded with love will bring good to their children? Let’s look at the real situation of the second-rich generation. Some of them, rather than becoming the second-strong generation, becomes the defeated generation which is notorious for their life focused on consumption rather than creation.
Because of the changes of education in history, most Chinese parents, though successfully accumulate wealth, don’t know much about the right value they should pass on to the new generation. They have tried all that they can to be good parents while neglecting the core value they should address, which is INDEPENDENCE.
How should parents help children to be independent?
They should give their children the freedom to make choices for themselves. Children cannot be happy if they don’t have control over their life, which in daily life, means they make choices for themselves, like, what to eat, what to wear, what career to do, what kind of spouse they are going to marry. Some parents may be open-minded enough to let their children to make these tiny decisions about food and clothes, but when it comes to the big ones, they are too anxious to let their children have a try. They used to be young and they made mistakes and now it is their sons and daughters’ turn to be young—the deep love and care is so intense that it becomes even suffocating—they are reluctant to give their children opportunities to start to be responsible for their own lives.
20##年6月英语四级作文真题及范文：Free admission to museums
1、越来越多的博物馆免费开放的目的是什么?
2、会带来一些问题
3、你的看法
Free Admission to Museums
Nowadays, an increasing number of museums are admission-free to visitors home and abroad. The hidden reason behind this is not hard to analyze as there’s a growing awareness for the authorities regarding the urgency of popularization of culture, knowledge and history with every average person in our society. Only with free access to this live ‘database’, can most people fully enjoy what museums could offer to them.
However, free admission to museums might lead to some social problems as well. The most obvious problem is that it might give museums a very heavy economic burden which directly impedes the sustainable development of these organizations. As a result, our government has to work out other ways to collect funds from different channels, which might be difficult to operate or control. On the other hand, free admission attracts too many visitors, some of which might not be well-purposed and do some conscious or unconscious damage to the valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved in the museums.
As a university student, I am in favor of the free-admission conduct. Yet it is proposed that some measures should be taken to solve the potential problems caused by it. For example, museums can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some ‘closed’ days for museums for regular maintenance. Only in this way can free-admission to museums become a long-lasting phenomenon and have sustainable development.

1. 建设绿色校园十分重要
2. 绿色校园不仅指绿色环境
3. 为了建设绿色校园我们应该……
Create a Green Campus
It is of great importance to make and maintain a green campus in our university or college. Obviously, a growing number of people are beginning to realize that it is our duty to do that in the present days, since the concept of “a green world” has become the focus of the society.
The idea of “a green campus” is beyond a green environment. To begin with, the development on the campus is to be sustainable and recyclable. Some of the authorities’ budget should be on how to reduce of the waste. What’s more, we’d better be aware of the seriousness of pollution around us. Thus the idea of environmental protection may become a common occurrence in our daily life.
It is necessary that effective actions should be taken to protect our campus from waste and pollution, ?and hence these activities are to play an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. Certainly, there is little doubt that further consideration must be paid to our green campuses.

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
20##年12月英语四级作文真题及范文：Limiting the Use of Disposal Bags
1. 一次性塑料袋曾被广泛的使用
2. 造成的问题
3. 限制使用塑的意义
Limiting the Use of Disposal Bags
These days disposal products often hit the headlines of newspapers and have been brought into focus of the public. Indeed, it is widely accepted that they have gained increasing popularity among people in all walks of life. Taking a look around you, you can find examples too numerous to list: When you walk on the street, you can see plastic bags flying over your head; When you ramble along the river, you can find plastic bottles floating on the water; When you stroll in the park with your lover, you can notice waste paper thrown everywhere.
Among the most important reasons often cited by people is the quickening pace of modern life. They are often too busy to wash dirty dishes or glasses, as a result they can do nothing but use disposal products. Also playing a part is the improvement of people's life. As a result of the policy of opening and reform, an increasing number of people are much richer than before and can afford disposal products.
Admittedly, they might benefit us in a short term. Unfortunately, they will do us harm in more than one way. The major harm is (that) they are sure to pollute the environment. To make matters worse, they are likely to have potential harm to public health. To illustrate this point, I can think of no better example than HP, the river through S. As a result of disposal products in it, the water has caused some diseases in the local people. (影响)
To sum up, for the factors mentioned before, we can safely reach the conclusion that the prevalence of disposale products is bound to cause a chain of undesirable effects. In view of the present situation, it is high time that the government tried every means to protect the environment. Only in this way, can we have a bright future.

1、 各大学开设了各种各样的选修课
2、学生因为各种原因选择了不同的选修课
3、以你自己为例……
范文一
Nowadays, there usually exists a wide selection of electives for college students to choose from. However, students have quite different plans for their future so they always end up learning courses based on their own ideas.
Some students may choose to learn a certain course in order to obtain an extra certificate for their job hunting after graduation. Because they assume that some more knowledge could ensure more chances of winning in finding a good job. Others may have their choice made just for fun. They tend to hold the idea that college life could be more colorful if they could widen their knowledge through elective courses.
As far as I’m concerned, I’m inclined to choose electives based on both the value of the courses and the interest of my own.
范文二
Nowadays many college students prefer to have electives in their spare time because the courses can offer a variety of skills and abundant knowledge apart from what they learn in the daily courses. There are many factors that may account for it, and the following are the most conspicuous aspects.
To start with, many students want to get another degree besides their own, so that they can have more competence when they seek a job. Furthermore, as for me, I don’t care about degree or job, I just want to obtain some necessary skills to make my college life worthwhile. What I’m concerned most is how to own more skills that may be necessary for my future. Finally, some students want to learn anything that is different from what they are learning now. The science students, for example, want to know about Shakespeare while the art students want to tell how a vehicle works and how to deal with it when it breaks down. So, they can all get what they think is useful to their college life.
On the whole, the phenomenon is one of the results of multi-demand of the employment market. There is still a long way for us to improve the elective itself, but as a student myself, I find it rewarding and interesting.

1、许多人喜欢看cctv 春节晚会；

3、你的看法；
The Spring Festival Evening Get-Together has been held in China for over two decades, which seems to have been an indispensable company during the traditional New Year’s Eve for a great number of people, who 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, as more diverse life styles have emerged nowadays. Some prefer to go to a fancy restaurant to enjoy a gourmet meal; some intend to go on a vacation to an incredibly exotic destination for a novel and thorough relaxation; others may have even more post-modern notions, like go bunging, hiking, or cycling for entirely new different experiences, forgetting all about the Spring Festival.
To me, the Evening Get-Together is supposed to be here to stay. 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. Besides, with such a gathering, family members will have a perfect opportunity to enjoy more fun and happiness, for nowadays most people are so engaged in their daily businesses that they can rarely find any extra time to stay with their family, which, if not properly adjusted, might add further to the already worsening situation of the values of Chinese families.
