丁往道《英语写作手册(中文版)》考研真题详解(命题作文)【圣才出品】
◆命题作文<社会热点类>题1 [四川师范大学2015研]In September 2014, the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba’s flotation in the US has caused a stir in the work. Undoubtedly, Ma Yun becomes the center of attention in public again. What do you know about Ma Yun and what inspiration you’ve gained from his life ex perience and success? Write an essay of about 400 words on the topic. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.【参考范文】The Unstoppable Power of PersistenceIn last September, Alibaba, a counterpart to eBay or Amazon in China, floated on the stock market with a value of £140 billion approximately. With such a record-breaking IPO, Ma Yun, the founder of this prosperous company, has become the centre of public discussion again. From my perspective, it is his persistence in chasing his dreams that impresses me most.Throughout his life, Ma Yun himself admitted that he had experienced rejections for many times, including less good performance in entry exams for colleges in China, setbacks in finding a job and so on. However, being clearly aware of his strengths and weaknesses, he chose to sharpen his proficiency in English. Inspite of the limited resources and less ideal environment for learning English, he managed to practice his oral English as well as broaden his horizons by giving foreign tourists free guide every morning in his hometown Hangzhou. And this experience lasting for nine years proved to be conducive to both the improvement in his languages abilities and the formation of a brand new world view.While working as a translator for a US trading company, Ma Yun decided to start his own online business in China, aiming to build a large Internet market to connect consumers and companies from different regions or countries. And that is how Alibaba began. At the beginning, there were only fifteen employees in 1999. But by now, this Chinese e-commerce giant has, according to Ma Yun, directly or indirectly created 40 million jobs in China. And its founder plans to expand market abroad. Nevertheless, the transformation from a startup to a listed company with the largest initial public offering in history, did not proceed smoothly. If he had not manages to attracted investment in 2000, Alibaba could have failed like many other Internet companies did at that time. What’s more, rumors or doubts have never completely disappeared, whether it was at the early stage or at the prosperous period of Alibaba. As for Ma Yun, scarcely does he allow these noises to overwhelm his inner voices. It’s his persistence and commitment that make his dreams come true in the end.To sum up, just as the old saying goes, constant dropping wears the stone. As long as we pursuit our dreams like what Ma Yun does, nothing could stop us from realizing them, since persistence not only gives us the hope to hold on to ourdreams, but also enables us to fight against obstacles all along.【范文点评】题目要求围绕阿里巴巴在美国成功上市这一事件，谈谈作为中国互联网巨头传奇人物马云，他的经历给了你怎样的启发，撰写一篇约400词左右的文章。

如：It is hard to hear a new voice, as hard as it is to listen to an unknown language...Why? Out of fear. The world fears a new experience more than it fears anything. Because a new experience displaces so many old experiences. And it is like trying to use muscles stiff for ages. It hurts horribly.—D. H. Lawrence He was, I think, very handsome. I gather this from photographs and from my own memories of him, dressed in his Sunday best and on his way to preach a sermon somewhere, when I was little. Handsome, proud, and ingrown, “like atoe-nail,” somebody said.—James Baldwin 在上面第一篇中有三个不完整的句子(“why?”“Out of fear.”以及“Because a new experience...”)，在第二篇中有一个(“Handsome，proud”)。

七年级下册英语四单元练习册作文English: In my opinion, the most important skill for students to learnis effective communication. Being able to express oneself clearly and confidently, whether in spoken or written form, is crucial for successin both academic and professional settings. Effective communication allows students to participate actively in class discussions, collaborate with peers on group projects, and articulate their thoughts and ideas in a coherent manner. Furthermore, strong communication skills are essential for future career prospects, asthey enable individuals to convey their qualifications and ideas to potential employers. Without this skill, students may struggle to convey their knowledge and abilities, and may miss out on valuable opportunities. Therefore, I believe that effective communication isthe most important skill for students to learn.中文翻译: 在我看来，学生学习的最重要的技能是有效沟通。

第二章措辞Ⅰ. 词的类型据语体风格，常用的词（规范英语词汇）可分为三类：正式的、一般的、非正式的。
1. 正式词汇（又称作学术性的词、文雅的词或“大”词）（1）适用文体正式文体，如学术性或理论性著作、政治和法律文件，以及正式的演讲或报告。
（2）特点多有三个以上的音节，多数源于希腊或拉丁文。
下面这段文章中包含一些体现正式文体的词汇：There is nothing new in the recognition, within a given language, of a distinction between common usage and uses of the language for more restricted purposes and often enough, perhaps characteristically, more elevated purposes. The monolithic nature of English is not questioned when literary essayists like Emerson contrast poetry and common speech. The latter is recognized in America to be the proper subject for the investigation of linguists who, however, now show some incipient inclination to investigate poetry, too, and other noncasual utterances in a given language.—C. F. Voegelin 正式的或学术性的词汇有：recognition, characteristically, elevated, monolithic,investigation, incipient, inclination, noncasual, utterances等。
沪教版英语七下第四单元作文题目及答案
沪教版英语七下第四单元作文题目及答案Unit 4 Making the world more beautiful作文题目：Imagine you are a volunteer for an organization that helps to make the world a more beautiful place. Write a composition introducing the work that you and your organization do to make a difference.答案：As a volunteer for the "Green Earth" organization, we are dedicated to making the world a more beautiful place. Our work focuses on environmental conservation, beautification projects, and raising awareness about the importance of protecting our planet.One of the key projects we are involved in is tree planting. We believe that trees are essential for a healthy environment as they provide oxygen, clean the air, and provide habitats for wildlife. By planting trees in urban areas, we aim to create green spaces that not only look beautiful but also provide numerous benefits for the community. Through our efforts, we have planted hundreds of trees in parks, schools, and public areas to enhance the greenery and promote a healthier environment.Another important aspect of our work is organizing clean-up campaigns. We regularly conduct clean-ups in local parks, beaches, and rivers to remove litter and waste that pose a threat to our ecosystems. By involving volunteers from the community, we are able to make a significant impact and raise awareness about the importance of reducing waste and recycling materials. These clean-up campaigns not only improve the aesthetics of the environment but also contribute to a cleaner and healthier planet for future generations.In addition to these projects, we also collaborate with schools and educational institutions to promote environmental education. We conduct workshops, presentations, and seminars to teach students about sustainability, conservation, and the importance of preserving our natural resources. By engaging with young people, we hope to instill a sense of responsibility and inspire them to take action to protect the environment.Overall, the work we do at "Green Earth" is not only about making the world more beautiful but also about creating a sustainable future for generations to come. Through our efforts in tree planting, clean-up campaigns, and educational initiatives, we are committed to making a positive impact on the environment and raising awareness about the importance ofenvironmental protection. Together, we can make a difference and create a more beautiful world for all.。
