Part I Writing

参考范文: 第一种图表(即我们试题部分的图表)

Education Pays

The bar graph describes the unemployment rates in 2010 for social groups with different

education degrees in theUnited States. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the better

you are educated, the more likely you are to get employed. For example, there are only about

1.9% and 4% of people with doctoral degree and masters degree respectively who are

unemployed, while people with only a high school diploma or less suffer a much higher

unemployment rate (14.9% and 10.3% respectively).

These data clearly indicate that education pays in the long run and it is a worthy investment.

In this IT age especially, when knowledge of science and technology is power, people need to

be well equipped with knowledge and skills in order to be competitive in job hunting and be better

paid. A higher degree is definitely an advantage in the first place in the job market.

It must be added, however, a high degree alone is not enough. It will not ensure a better

employment opportunity. In order to succeed in the career, people must also develop practical

skills and techniques as well as good communication, teamwork and social experience.

第二种图表(这也是本次考试的另一份试卷的图表)(见图表2)

Education Pays

As is shown in the bar chart above, the social groups with higher degree are not only more

likely to be employed in the first place, but they are also better paid later in the workplace. Those

with doctoral and professional degrees enjoy a much higher weekly median earning ($1551 and

1665 respectively) and suffer a much lower unemployment rate (2.5% and 2.4%). On the other

hand, those with less education suffer a considerably higher unemployment rate and have a much

lower weekly income. For example, there are a total of 23.5% (9.4%+14.1%) of people

unemployed with high school diploma or less, who have only a median weekly income of $545,

as compared with the average $797.

These data clearly indicate that education pays in the long run and it is a worthy investment.

In this IT age especially, when knowledge of science and technology is power, people need to

be well equipped with knowledge and skills in order to be competitive in job hunting and be better

paid. A higher degree is definitely an advantage in the first place in the job market and a

competitive edge for workplace promotions.

It must be added, however, a high degree alone is not enough. It will not ensure a better

employment opportunity and higher salary. In order to succeed in the career, people must also

develop practical skills and techniques as well as good communication, teamwork and social

experience.

概述

四级考试主要的作文命题形式是“文示”提纲作文,但不时也考应用文(书信、演讲词等)和图表作文,图表作文曾在1991年6月(表格: Changes in Peoples Diet)和2002年6月(柱状图: Student Use of Computers),似乎是10年考一次, 但不排除今后会更频繁地考到。图表作文包括表格作文(table)、曲线图作文(curve)、饼状图作文(pie)和柱状图作文(bar), 图表作文既有图表为考生提供大量数据信息,有时又有文字提示对作文的要点和展开方向作出规定。

图表作文是一种特殊的提示作文,即通过图表提供作文的话题,写作的要点隐含在图表之中。所以这类作文的构思过程与普通的提示作文大同小异,主要的不同是要在构思前增加一个读图(即对图表的解读)的过程。考生必须先仔细研读图表,使图表中的数据、曲线 、图形等成为与短文标题相关并能为我所用的有意义的信息。任何图表都含有表层信息和深层含义。考生读图时务必要把握这两方面的内容,仅对图表表层信息作一简单描述不是这类作文的命题目的。这类作文主要考的是考生对图表深层次信息(原因、根源、发展可能等)的挖掘和阐述。实践中,不论图表以何种方式出现,这类作文都可以采用下列统一的标准提纲:

第一段 图表描述。概要描述图表所揭示的某种社会现象的变化发展情况,注意尽可能少地直接引用图表数据,要将图表数据进行分析,归纳后进行概括性综述;

第二段 原因或根源。阐述导致该社会现象或发展变化的深层次原因;

第三段 结论或评述。对该社会现象发展变化进行理性预测或利弊评述,也可阐述本人的看法或观点。

根据图表内容和写作指令的要求,图表作文大致有以下二种展开模式:

Pattern I揭示根源及潜在问题的图表

Title

As indicated by the figures/data given in the picture/graph, it is obvious that ① …

fell/rose/climbed significantly (greatly/sharply/steadily) from (数字)in (时间)to (数字)in (时间). It can also be seen that there was a sharp (great) rise (decline/drop) in(方面) from (数字)to (数字)(by n times/ n percent) during the same period.

There are several causes contributing to the development (change/rise/fall) shown in the

graph. Among other things, ②…. Besides, ③…. And finally, ④…

But there are also some problems/advantages underlying/behind this development/ change,

and ⑤… is one of them. Therefore, whether this trend is a blessing or a curse in the long run,

only tell can tell.

① 插入名词性从句的主语;概述图表中变化的某个方面;

②、③、④ 插入名词性从句;揭示图表变化的三个内在原因;

⑤ 插入名词短语;提出这种变化背后可能引起的问题。

Sample

Health Gained in Developing Countries(见图表三)

As indicated by the data given in the graph, it is obvious that life expectancy in developing

countries has climbed from about 40 years in the 1960s to around 60 in the 1990s, increasing

by 20 years within 3 decades. It can also be seen, as a sharp contrast, that there was a sharp drop

in infant mortality, by 15%, from 250 deaths per 1000 births to about 100 deaths per 1000

The Most Impressive Campus Activity

Every university offers numerous kinds of activities to enrich students’

extracurricular life. As one of the young college students, I have benefited a lot from

all of these well-organized activities, but the one that has benefited me most is the

debate competition which I took part in last year.

That was a debate competition between different majors and the topic was about

theoretical knowledge versus practices. What mattered most is not the result of the

debate, but gathering background information and practicing the process of debate.

Also, no individual could accomplish the challenging task all by herself or himself, so

joint efforts have played a significant role in winning the competition. Team spirit and

co-operation has been improved a lot and I believe this is more precious than winning

Welcome to the World of Virtual Reality!

文章

Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that simulates a user’s

physical presence in a virtual environment. By wearing a VR

headset, users are immersed in a three-dimensional computer-generated world, which can be a realistic representation of an

existing location or an imaginary world. Virtual reality has

gained popularity in recent years, with various applications in

entertainment, education, and healthcare.

One of the main uses of virtual reality is in the field of

entertainment. VR gaming allows users to experience

gameplay in a fully immersive and interactive manner. With

the help of motion tracking sensors, users can move around

and interact with virtual objects as if they were in the game

Why Integrity Matters

What is Integrity?

"Integrity" is defined as "adherence to moral and ethical principles; honesty."

The key to integrity is consistency--not only setting high personal standards for

oneself (honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness) but also living up

to those standards each day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral

and ethical standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be

clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation.

What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We

feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects

The Magician

The revolution that Steve Jobs led is only just beginning.

When it came to putting on a show,nobody else in the computer industry,or any other industry for that matter,could match Steve

Jobs.His product launches,at which he would stand alone on a black

stage and produce as if by magic an“incredible”new electronic gadget(小器具)in front of an amazed crowd,were the peril,rmances of

a master showman.All computers do is fetch and work with numbers,he

once exp lained,but do it fast enough and “the results appear to be

magic”.Mr.Jobs,who died recently aged 56,spenthis life packaging

that magic into elegantly designed,easy-to-use products.

The reaction to his death,with people leaving candles and

flowers outside Apple stores and politicians singing praises on the internet,is proof that Mr.Jobs had become something much more
