开篇:写作不仅是一种记录,更是一种创造,它让我们能够捕捉那些稍纵即逝的灵感,将它们永久地定格在纸上。下面是小编精心整理的12篇四级作文,希望这些内容能成为您创作过程中的良师益友,陪伴您不断探索和进步。
二十六号九点是查英语四级的时间,早上迷迷糊糊的起来,第一件事情就是看时间,已经九点多了,起床拿起手机登陆网站查询自己的四级成绩,好不容易登陆上去,显示"查询人数过多,请稍后再试。" 看到这行字,并不甘心,换了一个坐姿又查了一遍。
尽可能的睁大眼睛,总分460,噢耶,过了!425过四级,想起来复习的日子,厚厚的一本四级单词,还有十套题,其实我没背多少单词,题也只是考前做了几套。但是每天都看一部英文电影,锻炼听力,做题的时候,每个类型题都认真的分析,琢磨。作文也看过很多,这是我第二次考英语四级了,分析第一次的成绩,有听力,阅读,作文和翻译,这三部分我的得分都不高,一百二十多分,总分是358,这次我苦练听力,做阅读的时候也很认真,单词虽然没背完一本,但是也背了百页。
这次成绩比上次提高了一百多分,我也很高兴,也为自己感到自豪,我的作文和翻译部分不好,这次也不例外,听力和阅读都是一百七。
刚刚结束考试的时候感觉答的还不错,但是一想到单词没背完,心里也是没有底。回宿舍以后,室友都在讨论题目,每人的题目不同。室友也都考了,可惜的是算我总共两个人过了。问了问我以前的同学,也没有过,不过她们都是第一次考,还有机会。
在微博里也搜了一下四级,看到很多人发的都是四级,当然还有六级,如果时间充足,我也把六级过了,以后成为英语老师也是可以的,哈哈,加油。

Recently,haze weather has become a daily one right here in large part of China.People are forced to wear the mask to avoid breathing poisonous air.So it is necessary to find out the reason why leads to that and work out the resolution.If we trace the cause for haze weather ,the main points are as follows ,first,china 's air quality standards are rather lax and evaluation factors are limited,so you will see that current air appraisal system has defects.Second,some people just go for economic interests instead of turning out products according to relevant law and regulations.They tend to use obsolete equipment in which they are high likely to emit a great deal of wasted air.
Third,across our society ,relevant protection awareness has not built up so that people havent formed a habit of using green product and saving energy as much as possible.Just for the sake of convience to go out,people rely more and more on travelling and working by car while car is the main cause for the haze weather
To settle this problem,a series of meaures should be taken as follows.First ,we should strengthen air monitor to lower the levels of small particulate pollutants.Second,we should enact more strict laws and regulations and keep perfecting our current law on environmental protection to regulate people 's daily action and the industrial production and punish those factories that ignore the protection and keep emitting dangerous material that cause haze.
Third,we should develop green and energy-saving energy to lower the emission of haze and improve air quality.As far as i am concerned ,if we work together to be able to do such measures ,our environment will getting better and better and haze weather will vanish completely.

例文: Say No to Pirated Products
1. 目前盗版的现象比较严重
2. 造成这种现象的原因及危害
3. 我们应该怎么做
Nowadays it is generally accepted that piracy is becoming more and more of a problem in China. Many products, such as tape, CD and hi-tech devices can be copied. Shortly after a newly-developed product is put on the market, people will unsurprisingly find its pirated counterparts in the stores.
Special attention should be paid to the fact that piracy is bringing great damage. On one hand, pirated products often cost far less than the original ones, so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price in spite of their relatively poor quality, and the original ones, on the contrary, sell poorly. On the other hand, in the long run, pirated products may also have negative impacts on customers since those producers’ enthusiasm may be greatly hurt as a result of money loss. Therefore, it is high time that we solved the problem as soon as possible.
Many a way can be adopted to reduce the piracy phenomenon. First of all, it is the duty of the government to call on everyone to fight the battle against piracy. In addition, as customers, we
should develop our consciousness to resist pirated products. Moreover, strict laws and decrees are of great importance. Only in this way can this problem be solved radically.

Our lives are guided by natural rhythms that are particular to each of us and cannot be altered by force of will alone. Life itself is a journey made up of processes and events that manifest before us only to be swept away when time marches on. Whether we envision ourselves creating a career, building a family, or developing the self, we instinctively know when the time has come for us to realize our dreams because all that is involved comes together harmoniously. When the time is right, the passage of destiny cannot be blocked. Yet as desperate as we are to touch these beautiful futures we have imagined, we cannot grow if we are not fully present in the evolutionary experience. The present can be challenging, uncomfortable, and tedious, but life unfolds as it will, and the universe will wait patiently as we make our way into the unknown.
The fate that awaits us is not dependent on our pace, which was preordained before we ever appeared in human guise. Therefore there is no reason to rush through life to reach those pinnacles of development associated with the paths we have chosen. Enjoying and fully experiencing the journey of life is as important as achieving goals and reaching milestones. There are lessons we can learn during those moments that seem immaterial or insignificant that we cannot learn at any other time. Appreciating these takes patience, however, because human beings tend to focus on the fulfillment of expectations rather than the simple joys of being.
Like many people, you have no doubt longed for a device that would give you the power to fast forward through certain periods of your existence. Yet haste is by its very nature vastly more stressful than serene fortitude. When you feel yourself growing impatient because the pace of your development is deceptively slow, remember that everything that will occur in your life will occur in its own time. Quelling your urge to rush will enable you to witness yourself learning, changing, and becoming stronger. There is so much to see and do in between the events and processes that we deem definitive. If you are patient enough to take pleasure in your existence's unfolding, the journey from one pinnacle to the next will seem to take no time at all.
There is no doubt that we should never go out there to see what happens; instead, we should take actions to make things happen. A telling example is Youyou Tu. She and her colleagues made 380 extracts from 2,00 herbs before they finally succeeded in discovering the pure substance qinghaosu, which can be used to treat malaria. As we all know, there were numerous scientists who wanted to find this substance, but it was her firm actions that made her the first Chinese Nobel laureate in medicine.
Why?Reasons are quite simple and can be listed as follows. To begin with, only by taking actions can we find the best way to solve those problems we are facing, but as a bystander, we can learn nothing meaningful. In addition, in an age full of ruthless and relentless competitions, without taking actions to make things happen, we are bound to lose those valuable opportunities. For instance, if Apple had just gone out there to see what happens in mobile phones, it could not have presented the amazing product, iPhone, to us.
Accordingly, we college students should not just be a watcher but a doer. In my humble opinion, we can start from applying what we have learned into practice.
毫无疑问,我们永远不应该走出去看看发生了什么;相反,我们应该采取行动让事情发生。一个生动的例子就是由你。她和她的同事做了380提取物2 00草药才终于发现了纯物质青蒿素,可用于治疗疟疾。我们都知道,有很多的科学家们想找到这种物质,但这是她公司的行为,让她第一个中国医学诺贝尔奖得主。
为什么?原因很简单,可以列出如下。首先,只有采取行动才能找到最好的方法解决我们面临这些问题,但作为一个旁观者,我们可以学到什么有意义的事情。此外,在一个充满残酷和无情的竞争时代,没有采取行动让事情发生,我们注定要失去这宝贵的机会。例如,如果苹果刚刚在手机看看会发生什么,它不可能呈现惊人的产品,iPhone,给我们。
因此,我们大学生不应该只是一个观察者,但一个实干家。依我拙见,我们可以从应用所学付诸实践。
1.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the chart below, which shows the variation in carbon emission from three different fossil fuels from 2000 to 2020. You should first summarize the changing trend of the consumption of the three different fossil fuels and then give some reasons about it. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
unit (million tons)
【范文】From the chart above we see that the carbon emission from coal decreases sharply, from 40 million tons in 2000 to less than 3 million tons in 2020. In 2010, the carbon emission from oil hit 40 million tons but will reduce to 20 million tons in 2020. Besides, the carbon emission from natural gas increases, from 5 million tons in 2000 to 18 million tons in 2020.Many reasons account for the variation in carbon emission. Firstly, people might cut the amount of coal they use and increase the use of natural gas since natural gas is a “cleaner” fuel than coal or oil. Secondly, because of the undertaking of energy-saving project, efforts have been made to raise the efficiency of energy utilization. What’s more, since the earth is getting warmer, large attention has been paid to the importance of environmental protection.
2.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic How to Spend Money Wisely with Credit Card based on the picture below. You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
【范文】Credit card offers a convenient way to buy goods but every coin has two sides. From the cartoon above we see that credit card can lead to unmanageable debt and financial crisis if used unwisely. So people should keep in mind the risk of using credit card and try to spend money wisely.First, before applying a credit card, people should make sure whether they can afford to pay back money spent on the card. Second, it is very important to work out what kind of card meets their needs. Third, people should try to pay their balance in full every month, or they will be charged interest and have negative effects on their credit scores. Finally, since some cards have high interest rates and fees when failing to pay back, it is necessary to work out the cost before using the cards.
3.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Getting to Know the World Outside Campus. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words following the outline given below:
1.大学生了解社会的必要性;
2.了解社会的途径(大众媒介,社会服务等);
3.你打算怎么做?
【范文】In an age of overflowing information, college students need to rapidly process what's coming at them and know how to manage and act on it. They should keep in touch with the world outside campus and adjust themselves to the real society in shortest time.College students can get to know the world outside campus through a variety of ways. They can keep themselves informed by watching TV, listening to radio broadcasts, reading newspapers etc. Even they can take up a part-time job in spare time.Truthfully, everyone needs to enter into society when they reach a certain age. As for me, I plan to find a part-time job in a training center because I decide to be an English teacher after graduation. I know only in practice can I learn more useful teaching skills.
2012年12月四级写作考试回顾
从命题的角度来看,2012年12月四级写作最大的新意其实不是“多题多卷”,而是图表作文题的出现,而且采用的是全英文命题形式(这样的命题形式符合命题人“既考写作又考理解”的考查初衷)。这表明四级写作的命题在稳中求变,估计以后会朝“多题”的方向发展,题目类型也会多样化,因此考生要全面备考,一定要了解论说文、应用文、图表作文与图画作文等各种类型作文的写作方法。而面对全英文命题形式,考生需要做到的是认真审题,避免因理解偏差导致作文跑题。
从考生做题的角度来看,新的命题形式对考生写作提出了新的挑战。据笔者对2012年12月四级写作答卷的观察,写作题目“Education Pays”的跑题率很高,多半考生的作文都不切题意。之所以出现这一情况,部分原因在于考生准备不充分,尤其对于写图表作文的备考不足,甚至毫无准备,因而在写作时存在一定的心理障碍;但更主要的原因应该是考生临场审题不周,导致理解出现偏差。那么面对四级写作考试的新趋势,考生要怎样做才能避免跑题、从容应对呢?
要改善写作中跑题的情况,考生需要过好审题关。具体来说,考生应从体裁、话题、内容要点、字数要求这四方面进行审题。下面以2012年12月四级写作题目之一“Education Pays”为例来具体分析。写作真题如下。
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Education Pays based on the statistics provided in the chart below (Weekly earnings in 2010). Please give a brief description of the chart and then make comments on it. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
审题时,考生要从上文提到的四个方面进行一一考量。从写作体裁来看,考生要写的应该是论说文。而笔者阅卷时就发现有一位考生将作文写成一封信,这绝对是要被扣分的。从话题来看,考生要写的话题是“Education Pays”。很多考生望文生义,将写作话题简单理解为“教育付出”,考生如果仔细阅读图表上的标题“Education: A Worthy Investment”就会发现,题目给出的话题应该是“教育的投资与回报”。从内容要点来看,考生首先应该对图表内容进行简要描述(give a brief description of the chart),然后对图表内容进行评论(make comments on it)。最后,考生要明确写作字数,题目要求是120~180个单词,笔者建议考生将字数限定在140~160个单词,因为120个单词的作文内容可能不够详实,但字数太多了又会增加考生犯错的几率。
快速提分方略
即将参加2013年6月四级考试的考生应该采取什么快速提分方略呢?很多考生在考试前热衷于背诵写作模板,认为这样能帮助自己快速提高写作分数。但在笔者看来,单纯背诵写作模板并不是最有效的方法:一方面,考生死背写作模板的话很容易出现“所背非所考”的情况,最后等于白费力气;另一方面,笔者在四、六级考试阅卷时发现,考生使用的模板句式高度重复,比如“With the development of our society, more and more …”“There has been a heated discussion revolving around this issue of whether people should do …”“Only by doing so, can we …”“As far as I am concerned, …”等句式在答卷中比比皆是,而这样使用高度重复的模板句式最终肯定会影响得分。
如果考生想快速提升写作分数,笔者建议考生从备考“功能段落”入手。从历年四级写作的写作要求(无论是全英文形式还是汉语提纲形式)来看,四级写作题目要求考生撰写的段落按功能大致可以归纳为以下六种:描述现象、图画或图表(现象段),分析危害(危害段),分析原因(原因段),给出建议(建议段),陈述观点(观点段,说明支持或反对)、分析意义(意义段)。因此,如果考生学会撰写这六种功能段落,那么无论写作考试如何变化,考生只要按照写作要求去写相应功能的内容或段落即可。从近年真题来看,现象段、原因段和建议段这三种功能段落被考查到的频率较高,考生可重点准备。在考试时,笔者建议考生将作文写成三段,其中中间段落为主体,在字数上应多于首段和尾段。以2012年12月四级写作题目“Education Pays”为例,考生可将首段写成描述图表的现象段,将第二段写成解释收入差异的原因段,将尾段写成建议段或观点段。
那考生该如何学习写功能段落呢?首先,考生可以通过分析真题范文总结出各类功能段落的写作思路;其次,考生需要花大力气积累各类功能段落的常用句子表达(简称“功能表达”)。考生在选择功能表达时应掌握三个原则:①实用性,即积累的表达可用于写相应的功能段落;②灵活性,即所选择的表达应该是考生能够灵活掌握并能根据题目灵活应用的;③简洁性,即所选择的表达应该语言精练,可以有模板的痕迹,但考生应该能往里面填入实质内容,而不是像通篇废话似的表达。下面笔者列举几个常用的功能表达,供考生体会。
1.In contemporary society, it has become a trend for _____ to _____.
2.It is advisable for _____ to _____.
3.It is suggested that ______ should strengthen their awareness of ______.
4.Someone should educate, advocate and encourage _____ (not) to _____.
解析:这里的第1个句子为现象段的功能表达,第2~4个句子为建议段的功能表达。考生在考试时,根据写作主题和写作要求对上述功能表达进行适当的词汇替换和结构调整,就可以写出相应的句子。例如,针对这次2012年12月的四级写作题目“Education Pays”,考生可以利用第1个句子来进行现象描述,写成:“In 2010, it had become a trend for people with higher degrees to earn more money in a week in America.”也可以利用第2个句子来进行作文最后一段的写作,如:“It is advisable for youngsters in the US to pursue higher degrees and extensive knowledge.”
按照上文所讲的三个原则,考生在日常学习中可以通过多重途径积累功能表达,比如在阅读中读到阐述观点的表达可以积累,在范文中学到表述现象的表达可以积累。退一步说,考生即使背诵模板,也不要死背,而要明确所背句子所表达的功能是什么,这样考试时才能灵活应用。
备考步骤
以下是笔者总结的写作备考步骤,供考生参考。
第一,先通过“背写”(即背诵和默写)的方式积累功能表达和词汇。笔者建议英语基础较差的考生在备考时先别急着练习写作,而是“背写”一些功能段落和功能表达,道理很简单:考生如果没有正确的input,就不会有有效的output。在能熟练背诵和掌握自己积累的功能段落和功能表达之后,考生再试着利用自己掌握的表达进行模拟写作,写一些相似话题的作文。笔者所提到的默写主要是为了帮助基础较差的考生练习拼写,避免提笔忘词。此外,考生应该积累一些常用的亮点词汇,用亮点词汇替换常用词汇。下面笔者就列举一些亮点词汇,供考生参考。
1.用exceedingly/extremely/rather替换very;
2.用an army of/a great many/a host of替换a lot of;
3.用advancement替换development;
4.用positive/favorable/promising/perfect/pleasurable/excellent/outstanding/superior替换good;
5.用give rise to/lead to/result in/trigger替换cause;
6.用harbor the idea that/take the attitude that/hold the view that替换think that;
7.用beneficial/rewarding替换helpful;
8.用bear in mind that替换remember that;
9.用enjoy/possess替换have;
10.用shopper/consumer/purchaser替换customer。
第二,善于进行阶段总结。考生备考时,每经过一个阶段(如两周)都要问自己几个问题:自己所背诵的功能表达可以用来写什么类型的文章?该类文章的相关词汇或表达有哪些?由题目关键词可以联想到哪些相关表达?考生要谨记,没有复习与巩固,就没有提高。
尊敬的老师:
此次的考试错误,是我的个人的严重错误。我知道承认错误对于任何人来说都是一项痛心的事情,但我一定要去承认。既然犯错了,作为一名男子汉我要勇敢地去面对去承担。还有因为此次错过英语四级考试,我最对不起的就是从事四级考试报名工作的各位老师。各位来说本来在四级考试的规定报名时间就已经非常辛苦了,但却因为我个人的失误和这样严重的疏忽,还要为我的四级考试补考报名劳心劳力。为此我真的感觉很对不起老师们,心中充满了悔恨和歉意。
但迫切于要补考这次英语四级考试,是因为我个人在之前的英语学习中非常的认真刻苦,四级考试对我有极其重要的意义,它不单关乎我的毕业问题,而且是对我英语水平的一个人可,我本该在前一次考试中就通过,但是我的前一次考试结果423分,很令我吃惊,当我仔细查阅各项分数时,发现作文的分十分低,以其他几项对比,这个作文得分完全低于我应有的水平。
之所以我对我的英语水平有如此自信,不单是因为我再高考英语获得130的高分并进入英语B班,更是因为我之前有过充分的复习。而且,考完试后,我本以为我完全可以通过,我便开始了六级的单词(和考研词汇基本通用)复习。所以,我认为我完全可以通过即将到来的这次四级考试,而且为了以防出现类似上次的意外情况,我又加深了复习程度,相信一定可以取得一个高分。
最后,我衷心地向学校申请四级考试补报,希望学校予以批准。我再次为我给学校工作带来的不便表示万分的歉意。
一、大学日语专业四级考试的特点
大学日语专业四级考试主要分为二部分,第一部分是客观题,由听力、文字词汇、语法、阅读构成,第二部分是主观题,由完成句子、作文组成。目前在国内实行的日语考试主要有大学日语考试、国际日本语能力考试、商务日语考试这几项考试,作为专门为大学在校日语专业学生设置的大学日语专业四级考试,不仅具有了同其他日语考试一样的对听力、文字词汇、语法、阅读能力的考核,而且也具有了其他考试所没有特点。
(一)最早考核完形填空能力的考试
大学日语专业四级考试在2005年改革后,出现了完形填空的题型,国际日本语能力考试在2010年改革后也采用了这一题型。这一考试内容侧重考核学生对接续词和副词的考核,共十道题,从针对性和题量以及难度来说,远远高于国际日本语能力考试的二级水平。
(二)唯一考核学生完成句子能力的考试
大学日语专业四级考试在2005年的改革后,出现了完成句子的题型,这一题型是其他任何考试都没有的。这一题型每一道题都是不完整的句子,要求学生完成另外半部分,要求语法正确,表达完整,句义贴切。这一题型虽然不仅仅是考核学生对句型的掌握,更上升到对学生篇章句法能力的考核。
(三)唯一考核学生作文能力的考核
大学日语专业四级考试在2002年开始时,就有作文这一题型,同样这一题型是其他任何考试都没有的。写作能力历来都是学生的薄弱环节,要求学生能够区分敬简体,条理清晰,内容明确语言流畅,表达没有语法错误,句型使用丰富,多用汉字,格式正确,标点无误。这一题型是单独考核学生的写作能力,也是唯一一个可以衡量日语专业低年级学生写作能力的考试,也是学生在考试中失分最多的题型。
二、黄冈师范学院大学日语专业四级考试现状
黄冈师范学院自2009年已经举行了八次大学日语专业四级考试。这一考试的参加人数和通过率不仅无法同大学英语专业四级相比,同国际日本语能力二级考试也是无法相比的。
(一)参加人数少
如表1显示,在2009年的报名人数只有33人,因为这是第一年举行这个比赛,报名人数少是情有可原的,但历经了四年之后,即2012年,也就是可报考人数比2009年还多45人的情况下,并且教师也有了成熟的指导考试复习的经验后,参加人数却只有23人,这说明这一考试在当时并没有得到达多数学生的认可。
2013年后,在外国语学院的领导和日语教师的努力下,报名人数虽有增加,如图1所示,2015年和2016年报名率都超过了历年,但这与学生百分之百的国际日语能力二级考试的报名率相比,是远远不及的。
(二)合格率低
如图2所示,虽然2009年是第一次举办考试,但是合格率却是仅仅次于2014年的最高值,但纵观全图,会发现合格率极度不稳定,这与学生的报名和复习有密切关系。不要说与其他学院接近百分之百的过级率相比,就是和本校90%左右的国际日本语能力考试二级的合格率相比,也是自愧不如的。
三、大学日语专业四级考试对日语教学的启示
大学日语四级考试在听力、词汇、语法部分的考核与其他日语类别的考试是基本相同的,但是因为出现了完型填空、完成句子、作文等内容,所以必须要加强阅读语义篇章的训练和写作能力的训练。
(一)加强理解语句篇章的训练
阅读是语言学习的核心内容,通过阅读不仅要掌握作者的主旨,更要理解作者创作时的语言文化背景。阅读不仅仅是宏观通篇的理解,更要落实到一词一句一段的微观内容的把握。完型填空考核了语句段落篇章总体的理解。因此,无论是精读课程还是阅读课程的教师,都应该立足教材,不放过一个词,不漏过一句话,从点点滴滴做起,将阅读理解能力的训练融入课堂教学的所有环节。
(二)加强写作能力的训练
这项考试内容要求学生文体使用正确,格式规范,内容清晰流畅,主旨明确,没有语法错误。学生普遍惧怕这项考试内容,不仅标点符号使用不规范且逻辑混乱内容不充实。这一能力的训练不是一蹴而就的,是需要大学四年不断地训练,甚至毕业论文都是对写作能力的训练。在大一的学习中,先是完成单句的训练,慢慢地到日记训练,然后再到一般的叙述文的训练,再到议论文的训练,这些训练不仅要求教师要改正学生的语法格式表达错误,更要求教师启发学生合理构思,做到内容完整,引人入胜。
大学日语专业四级考试已经得到了众多高校的认可,很多高校都将此项考试的复习工作纳入教学计划。大学日语专业四级考试是所有日语类考试中最早有完型填空题型的考试,更是唯一具有完成句子和写作内容的考试。黄冈师范学院的大学日语专业四级考试已经取得了很大的进步,作为基层日语教师,应该加强理解语句篇章和写作能力的训练。
