专四作文10篇Topic 1：The Internet-A Blessing or Curse?Nowadays college students often use the Internet for study, shopping, entertainment, and many other things. Some people say that the Internet facilitates students' lives, but others worry that it might affect students' study. In my opinion, the Internet is good for college students when it is used appropriately.The Internet is good for college students. First, students can collect many kinds of information via the Internet. When students find something interesting in the book, but their teacher cannot give them more details or answer all their questions in class, they can search the Internet after class to find the details or answers by themselves. Second, the Internet keeps students updated with what is happening all over the world. Just by browsing the web-page, students can read a lot of news. They can also type on some key words to search and follow any affair on the Internet. They don't have to search piles of newspapers and thus save much time for study.In one word, the Internet facilitates students' lives when it is used reasonably. Now more and more college students are becoming aware of the convenience and the importance of using the Internet.Topic 2: Will Electronic Dictionaries Kill Printed Dictionaries?Many people today prefer to use electronic dictionaries rather than printed ones, because electronic dictionaries are much lighter and smaller and easier to be taken everywhere. Some people worry that printed dictionaries may disappear one day. But I believe that electronic dictionaries will not kill printed ones.First, printed dictionaries are much cheaper than the electronic ones. Many students, who use dictionaries most often, can hardly afford an expensive electronic dictionary. Therefore, the printed ones are exactly what they need. Second, scholars prefer printed dictionaries to electronic ones. Holding a thick, heavy dictionary is what a teacher used to do, and I believe that they will like to keep this habit. Third, only the printed dictionaries can be collected into libraries or be put on our private bookshelves. We may use an electronic dictionary very often, but we will never collect it, since it's designed to be used, not to be collected.Of course electronic dictionaries will be more popular in the future, because they are really convenient. But the printed ones are still needed and will not be replaced. The two kinds of dictionaries are just complementary to each other.Topic 3: Work as a Part of LifeSome people regard work as the goal of life and spare no pains to pursue a fulfilling career. Others regard work as a means to achieve the value of life, emphasizing the meaning and significance of life itself. I think work is just a part of one's life.To work means to live, and to live must involves work. First, when one works, he also lives. There is not a period of time when one is only working but not living. Therefore when one works hard and feels happy about his achievements, he is also living fruitfully. There is no need to saythat he just "lives to work". Second, it is impossible to imagine a life without work. Marx once said that work is the basic need of the human race. Work is not only a breadwinning process, but is also a process of exploring the unknown world, creating beauty, providing help, expressing love, friendship and care. Anyone would hate a life without work, and I think only those who work well enjoy their life best.To conclude, I am firmly convinced that work is a part of life. So enjoy your work, for when you make progress and have fun in your work, you are also enjoying your life.Topic 4: Should Universities Give Priority to Practical Courses for Students?Because of the demands in the job market, students with "hot" degrees such as computer science or finance are more likely to get a job than students with a "cold" degree like geography. Some people say that universities should give priority to practical courses for students. But I think that traditional courses are equally important and universities should not give priority to practical courses.First, both practical and traditional courses are needed in our country. Students who do well in different courses can help to develop different aspects of our country after their graduation. For example, our society needs not only people who can help to develop economy and technology, but also people who can contribute themselves to literature and education. Second, if universities give priority to practical courses, more students will choose those "hot" degrees. When these students graduate, they will have to fight harder for a job because there will be too many applicants with the same degrees. This will in turn cause an imbalance of supply and demand in the job market.In one word, both practical courses and traditional courses are important, and universities should not give priority to either side.Topic 5: Shall We Only Buy Things Made in Our Own Country?Globalization is a large trend than anyone could have imagines. In this highly globalized world, it is no longer possible to be completely“self-sufficient.”Countries are independent and interdependent. Because of this, I do not think we should only buy things that are domestically produced.First of all, no country has enough resources to produce everything that people need in life. For instance, in China, it is estimated that 15,000 tones of seeds are now imported from other countries, and that 20% agricultural produce are imported. If we insist on buying home-grown products, we have to give up 20% of our food. Secondly, buying international goods is a gesture to say “yes” to international trade and cooperation. Every country has its own comparative advantages so that it can focus on producing the best products to trade with. For instance, German automobiles are renowned for their quality and China is famous for its tea. An exchange will enable German people to enjoy good tea and Chinese people to drive safely.In conclusion, we had better not purchase things that are made in our country only. We must exploit our comparative advantages and pursue international trade. The days of being “self-sufficient” have gone.Topic 6: My Advice to the UndergraduatesBecause of the severe competition in the job market, it's quite difficult to get a decent job for a college graduate. Many college students complain that graduation means the coming of unemployment. To avoid this dilemma, I have some advice to the undergraduates.To avoid unemployment after graduation, the undergraduates have to prepare themselves for the job-hunting long before their graduation. First, study as hard as you can. Surely an applicant with more high marks in his resume will be more likely to get a job. And a hard-working student can acquire more knowledge and pass interviews easily. Second, get a part-time job which is related to the job you want to get in the future. Many college students like to find a part-time job, but most of them do this only for pocket money. Can this part-time job be written into your resume as a related job experience? Can this part-time job bring you new friends who are doing the very kind of job you want to do after graduation? Think it over and make full use of your part-time job.If the undergraduates prepare themselves well for the job-hunting, they will have more chances to find a good job after graduation.Topic 7 : Will Credit Cards Bring Harm to the Students?Recently, in order to extend business to university campus, some banks offer credit cards to college students. Many people worry that credit cards may do harm to students, while others don't think so. In my opinion, credit cards are good for students if they are used appropriately.First, when a student uses credit cards, he needn't bring much cash with him every day. And the less cash he brings, the less he needs to worry about being stolen. Second, using credit cards can minimize the chances of receiving forged notes. Students are not quite good at distinguishing forged notes, and thus often become victims of coiners. If they use credit cards, it will be very possible for them to avoid receiving forged notes because they don't need to get the changes. Third, using credit cards can help students to know more about "credit". If they don't repay their credit account in time, they will have to pay more interests and what's worse, they will get a bad credit record which will bring inconvenience to them in the future.Therefore, I believe that credit cards will not bring harm to students if used reasonably.Topic 8 : How to Keep Psychologically Healthy?Nowadays more and more people are concerned about mental health issue. It is reported that the number of people committing suicide is on the rise. Many of them committed suicide just because of some little frustration such as failing an exam. If they had paid more attention to their mental health, they might not have reacted in such an extreme way.How to keep ourselves psychologically healthy? First, we should adjust ourselves to the new conditions. When we go to a university as freshmen, or go to work in a strange city, we may become nervous because everything is so unfamiliar. The only way out is to adjust ourselves to the new conditions and shake off the anxiety quickly. Second, we should know ourselves well and admit that we are just ordinary people. Knowing that ordinary people may not be good at everything, we can easily accept some small failures in our lives. Third, we should try to share our feelings with friends.By doing this, we are assured that any difficulty can be solved since we are not alone.It is very important for us to be psychologically healthy, and we should pay more attention to our mental health.Topic 9 : Is Dieting Good or Bad?In order to keep a slim body and to be more attractive in appearance, many people, especially girls, would like to lose weight by eating less. Some people worry that dieting is bad for our health, while others don't agree. In my opinion, dieting is not good for most people.First, dieting is harmful to people's health. It has been proved that if one begins to eat less to keep slim, he or she will be much weaker than those who don't. Young people's bowels must work in an orderly way everyday. If a 20-year-old girl eats less than what her body needs, her metabolism will slow down because there is not so much food to be digested each day. As a result, this young girl will become both physically and mentally slow as a 40-year-old one. How terrible it is! Second, dieting may affect our lives. In this modern society, people need to be very energetic to face severe competitions in their study or work. Dieting will surely reduce their energy and in turn affect their lives badly.In conclusion, I believe that dieting is not advisable for most people, except for those who are told to do so by doctors.Topic 10 : My Ideas of Cracking down on Poisonous FoodRecently there are a lot of news about poisonous food, such as tainted milk powder, illegal food additives, and illegal cooking oil, which do great harm to people's health. The news has aroused much panic among people, and it's high time that we took measures to crack down on poisonous food. To crack down on poisonous food, I have some ideas to offer.First, the government should make laws to forbid the making of poisonous food. Manufacturers who are caught making these kinds of food should be punished severely, and factories in which these kinds of food are produced should be closed down. Second, food manufacturers must be well informed that they should produce safe food as food safety is their first priority in business. Third, people should be more cautious. When you are shopping food, please remember that natural food is usually safer, better and cheaper than artificial food. And if you think that some brands of food may be poisonous, complain to the related department without hesitation.In one word, only when both the government and citizens take some measures can poisonous food be cracked down on.。
