Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marksTerm-time holidays will be banned (2016年真题）Parents are to be banned by Michael Gove, UK’s Education Secretary, from takingtheir children out of school to save money on holidays.He is to abolish the right of head teachers to "authorise absence" from the classroom, which has been used to let families take term-time breaks, and will warn them they face fines for their children not being at school“Any time out of school has the potential to damage a child’s education, " a senior source at the Department for Education said this weekend. "That is why the government will end the distinction between authorised and unauthorised absence.”“This is part of the government’s wider commitment to bring down truancy levels in our schools. There will also be stricter penalties for parents and schools.”The tough measures on truancy are part of a wider attempt by Mr. Gove to make education more academically rigorous and to tackle a culture in the educational establishment which he believes has accepted "excuses for failure.”Russell Hobby, the general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said the measure would discourage parents from trying to put pressure on heads to sanction term time holidays. "The high cost of holidays outside of term time is still an issue but ultimately a child's education is more important than a holiday, "he said.卷一：Term-time Holidays Should Be BannedWhether the term-time holidays should be banned has aroused an heaten discussion for a longtime. Some in favor of hold that the more popular term-time holidays they are, the more bad influence children will have. However, some against it because they think take their children out of school for holiday during term time can save much money.From my point of view, I am inclined to ban the term-time holidays,….评价:____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________卷二Term-time Holidays Should Be BannedAs is known to all, it pays too much if we go on holidays outside of term time. As a result, some parents are inclined to take their children out of school to save money on holidays.Recently, a hot discussion about whether term-time holidays should be banned attracts our attention. In terms of this topic, Michael Gove, UK’S Education Secretary, is in favor of it. As experts said, any time out of school was likely to damage a child's education. The authoratatives contend that parents should be fined for their mistakes. On the other hand, some people think the punishment is excessive but a child’s education is more important than a holiday.From my perspective, I hold the view that term-time holidays should be banned for following reasons:…评价:____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________卷三My Opinion on the Term-time HolidaysThe latest news on the term-time holidays reveals that parents are to be banned from taking their children away from school during term-time. Those who break this new rule will face fines as a result.The regulation was established, according to a senior source at the Department for Education, mainly because the time out of school would do harm to children’s educational development. He also mentioned that the regulation was an integral part of government's practice to lower the truancy levels in schools. This rigorous measure is believed to resolve the cultural problems in the education eventually. Additionally, the general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers considered the measure useful as it would prevent parents from too much pressure.To the best of my belief, it is unwise to ban parents from taking their children out of school for holiday in purpose of saving money. Firstly,….评价:____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________卷四As can be seen from the excerpt, in UK, there is a frequent occurrence among parents to take their children out of school to enjoy holidays during normal term time. This is partly due to the cost of journey since this behavior will save them money. However, it can be summarized that parents are banned by UKS Education Department from taking their children out of academic study to go on holidays. What's more, those who violate the regulations would be fined and punished.评价:____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________卷五New research has shown that nearly four out of ten parents in the UK have taken their children out of school to go on holidays. Cost is the main reason given by parents for sacrificing their children'seducation. Parents are to be banned, however, by UKS Education Authority from taking their children out of school to go on holidays during term time.评价:____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________6.真题研析2017年专四作文题目Read carefully the following excerpt and then write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 words, in which you should1) summarize the main message of the excerpt, and then2) comment on whether our brains will get lazy in a world run by intelligent machines. You can support yourself with information from the excerpt.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marksWith intelligent machines to do the thinking, will our brains get lazy?Changing technology stimulates the brain and increases intelligence. But that may only be true if the technology challenges us. In a world run by intelligent machines, our lives could get a lot simpler. Would that make us less intelligent?Artificial intelligence is taking over many human jobs. For instance, planes are being flown much of the time by automatic pilots. And the complex problem of controlling air traffic around large modern airports is also achieved by artificial intelligence that operates well beyond the capability of mere human air traffic controllers.Artificial intelligence is embedded in many features of modern life for the simple reason that intelligent machines can already outperform humans, including some aptitudes where there was once thought to be a human advantage, such as playing chess, and writing poetry, or even novels.As machines get smarter, they will do more of our thinking for us and make life easier. In the future, the electronic assistant will develop to the point that it serves similar functions as a real living butler, fulfilling requests such as: "Organize a dinner party for six on Thursday and invite the usual guests.”At that point, our long struggle with challenging technologies is at an end. Like Bertie Wooster, we can take it easy knowing that the hard work of planning and organizing is being done by a better brain -----the electronic assistant. Starved of mental effort, our brains will regress.SUMMARY:______________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ ____________2018年专四作文题目Read carefully the following report, and then write your response inNO LESS THAN 200words, In which you should:1) summarize the main message of the report, and then2)comment on the two points made by Stephen Corry, Survivals DirectorYou can support yourself with information from the reportMarks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality, Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks Write your response on ANSWER SHEET THREE.Report exposes the dark side of conservationA report launched by Survival International---the global movement for tribal people right’s------ reveals how conservation has led to the eviction of millions of tribal people from protected areas, "since protected areas "like national parks should generally be no go " for miming, agriculture, dams, roads and pipelines.Survival's report shows that nearly all protected areas are, or have been, the ancestral homelands of tribal peoples, who have been dependent on, and managed them for thousands of years. But in the name of "conservation", tribal peoples are being "illegally driven out" from these lands and accuse “poaching"; meanwhile, tourists and fee-paying big game hunters are welcomed in.Bushman Daugoo Xukuri from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana said, " I sit and look around the country. Wherever there are bushmen, there is game. Why? Because we know how to take care of animals.”Survival's report concludes that the current model of conservation needs a radical shakeup. Conservation must stick to international law, protect tribal peoples' rights to their lands, listen to them. and then be prepared to back them up as much as they can.Survivals Director Stephen Corry said, “Millio ns are being spent by conservationists every year, and yet the environment's in deepening crisis. It's time to wake up and realize that there is another way and it's much, much better. Firstly, tribal peoples' rights have to be acknowledged and respected. Secondly, they have to be treated as the best experts at defending their own lands. Conservationists must realize it's they, themselves, who are junior partners.”SUMMARY:______________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ ______________2019年专四作文题目Read carefully the following excerpt and then write your response in NO LESS THAN200 WORDS, in which you should1) summarize the main message of the excerpt, and then2)comment on Brewer's view that parents should join in with their kids rather than limit their media consumption,You can support yourself with information from the excerpt.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Write your response on ANSWER SHEET THREEHow much screen time is too much for kids?Parents have been advised to limit media consumption of their children, but research suggests it's the nature of it that matters.For many parents in the digital age, battles with their kids over screen time and devices have become a depressing part of family life. Many parents will now be relieved to hear that recent research suggests that it’s not so much the length, but the nature of the screen time that matters.Jocelyn Brewer, a psychologist who specializes in the concept of "digital nutrition" likens media diets to what's on our plates: rather than counting calories (or screen time) think about what you’ re eating."It's not Just about whether you consume any potential digital Junk foods, but also your relationship to technology and the role it plays in your family life, "says Brewer.For young children, the most important thing is whether parents and kids are playing, watching or browsing together.A study of 20,000 parents published late last year by the Oxford Internet Institute and Cardiff University determined that there was no correlation between limiting device use and children's well-being. The study's lead author Dr. Andrew Pryzbylski said: "Our findings suggest the broader family context, how parents set rules about digital screen time, and if they are actively engaged in exploring the digital world together, are more importantthan the raw screen time.”“The consensus is that screen t ime, in and of itself, is not harmful ---and reasonable restrictions vary greatly, depending on a child's behavior and personality. There is little point in worrying about how many minutes a day your kids are spending with screens, says Brewer. "Instead, parents should be doing what they can to ensure that what they are watching, playing and reading is high quality, age-appropriate and safe-----and joining in wherever possible.”SUMMARY:______________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________7.模拟训练模拟题一Read carefully the following excerpt on Historical Debate on Animal Experimentation, and then write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 WORDS, in which you should1.summarize the main message of the excerpt, and thenment on whether we should use animals for experimentation purpose or notYou should support yourself with information from the excerpt。

第1讲MHK（四级）记叙文读后写指导
一、组织教学
1师生互致问候
2检查出勤人数
3宣布新课内容
二、记叙文基本知识
1、什么叫记叙文
记叙是一种表述方式。记是记录、记载，叙是叙说、铺陈。记叙就是把现实生活中人们的言行、经历或事情的发生、发展过程表述出来。记叙文就是以叙述、描写为主体的一种文体。作者基于一定的立场、观点，把自己在生活中、实践中所获取的有关人和事物的直接或间接信息，加以选择和组织，写成的文章就是记叙文。
4、掌握文章主要内容、中心思想、相关细节
四、记叙文的缩写
（一）、缩写的要求
1、一定要保持文章的原意，不要加入自己的看法和观点，以免写成读后感或主观评论。
2、缩写要求用更精炼的文字表达原文。
3、缩写是把具体的叙述改为概括叙述，把细微描写改为简要叙述。可有可无的话、或修饰词都可以删掉，把长句改为短句，举例去掉或简单带过。把握主要事件，删掉次要事件。
下面我们结合例文《夜雨》，具体说明一下什么是叙述、描写、抒情和议论的写法。
叙述是一般的交代和说明记叙文的六要素。《夜雨》中开头一至四小段都是以叙述为主，交代、说明了时间(一个晚上)、地点(电影院门口)、人物(“我”和一位“并不相识的叔叔”)和事件(因下雨“我”无法回家，那位叔叔送“我”回家)。叙述要做到交代明白，线索清楚。
时光在争吵与快乐中流逝着，我们终于迎来了毕业临近的那段日子，也迎来了我高中时代的最后一个生日。（过渡句）我们曾经约定这个生日要一起好好地过。因为之前的两个都错过了。（与中心无关所以不赘述）这几天他总是抓紧时间在做一个模型船，我在旁偷偷地看着，心里暗自高兴，我曾告诉过他我很喜欢那种手工制作的木质小船，我想他是把我的话记在心里了。我每天看着小船在他手里一点一点地成型，心里暗暗盼着生日的如期而至。（故事的开端）

四级写作辅导-胡川(新)

常见的基本错误：跑题：（给定的题目一定要用），所写内容一定要符合给定的题目，不但内容如此，给定的题目还需要多次出现，如给定的题目“recreational activities”,则文章中一定要反复出现，不能都用“video games”替换,偶尔个别处可以用“recreation ”或“entertainment”等同义词替换，但recreational activities一定要多多出现，避免文不对题之嫌。

结构失衡（中间段应为重点），多数情形下，三段之中的文字比例为1：3：1。

不按照提纲写：一定要按照给定的提纲思路写作。

比如说：Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Recreational Activities, You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:1．娱乐活动多种多样2．娱乐活动可以使人们收益，也可能带来危害3．作为大学生，我认为….那么，第二段应对娱乐活动的正面和反面效果都论及（正面给出2原因，反面给出2 原因）如果看到的提纲是：1．娱乐活动多种多样2．娱乐活动可以使人们收益3．作为大学生，我认为…则第二段只应提及娱乐活动有益的一面（这种只论述一方面的情形要给出3个原因比较合适），当然在第三段（作为大学生，我认为…）可以简单提及其无益的一面，表明其危害性，倡导合理平衡学习和娱乐活动。

但无论如何，第二段应为main body,要用较多笔墨。

差字数：文章虽然规定不少于120字，但最好写到150字左右。

应用文格式不对：大家一定要看清题目要求，“essay”为一般议论文或记叙文,多为“三段式”；如果是应用文的话则有标志性的词语，如“announcement”(口头通知) ”speech”,” letter”“notice”（书面通知），都有其各自固定格式。
