  1.Opportunities and Challenges Presented by China’s Entry into WTO

  After years of painstaking efforts, China has successfully gained formal membership of the world trade organization, the largest international organization coordinating global trade and business operations. Undoubtedly, the future will see abundant opportunities as well as numerous challenges presented by China’s accession to WTO.

  In the first place, China’s entry into WTO will greatly facilitate China’s export because currently lots of China’s products are denied access to some countries due to high tariffs and trade barriers.

  But, in the meantime, our economy is bound to be faced with fierce competitions from industrialized and emerging countries. For instance, the "spoiled" telecommunications, banking and insurance industry will find themselves no longer protected by the government’s policies, and they have to adjust themselves in many aspects in order not to suffer heavy losses.

  In one word, we should grab the golden opportunities and embrace various challenges in the upcoming future.

  2.Graduate Study or a Job

  To step out into the society and find a proper job, or to pursue graduate study? It is really a dilemma when the alternatives are presented in front of you , especially for those seniors .

  It is not uncommon that some active and ambitious students will not hesitate a moment to choose the former .They are eager to demonstrate their abilities and value . They hold in minds that a college education is enough and many achievers such as Bill Gates didn’t finish his higher education.

  As far as I’m concerned ,I believe that we have a lot of reasons to prefer the latter choice in such an era when knowledge is expanding at an incredible speed .The demands for us to promote both our knowledge and skill are becoming increasingly urgent . So we should keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich ours

elves and make us more adapted to the competitive society . Needless to say ,a graduate study is a wise choice . If we hurry into the society before we get well prepared , we will only find that our knowledge is so limited in this increasingly competitive society.

  Keep on learning and you will never regret!

  3.Advantages and Disadvantages of the Mobile Phone

  With the rapid economic development, the mobile phone has found its way to campuses and a host of students take advantage of this wonderful gadget to communicate with each other. This phenomenon gives rise to this question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of the mobile phone?

  It is widely believed that it greatly facilitate students’ campus life. Many instances could be found to support this type of opinion. A graduating student in our university bought a mobile phone in the course of find his job. He told me that through the mobile phone he could easily keep in touch with the employer of the company he intends to work with and would not miss any opportunities.

  However, as the old saying goes, "Every coin has two sides", the mobile phone also has many disadvantages. For instance, the ringing of the mobile phone often disturbs the teacher’s teaching and other students’ learning.

  Personally, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh the disadvantages of it as long as we don’t interfere with others while using it.

  4.Salary or Interest

  Upon graduation, many college students are confronted with the problem of the career choice. It is truly a tough choice. Students’ opinions differ greatly in this issue. Some hold that priority should be given to the interest in one’s job, but others take the opposing view and they claim that salary is the most critical factor in their career choices.

  As to myself, I prefer the former view. A well-paid job exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me. Although it might be impossible to measure the value of one’s job in terms of money, salary counts most when I choose my future career. In my opinion, our career choices largely depends on how and where we have been brought up. I come from a poor urban family and my parents were both laid-off workers. In order to finance my tuition, they have been working hard for the past four years. As the only son in my family, I have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting my family.

  In short, salary is the first and only consideration in my choice of career.

  6. Dear Xie, Dec. 28, 2002

  You mentioned in your last letter that you are considering furthering your study abroad and wondering if this is a step worth taking. In my view, you should look at both sides of the coin before making up your mind.

  Nowadays, the prospect of attending school abroad exerts a tremendous fascination upon an army of Chinese students. ( There is a growing popularity…) Needless to say, there are a lot of advantages to studying abroad. But, I am afraid, far too many make hasty decisions in this matter. They are ill prepared for the problems they may encounter in the host country, such as the language barrier, lack of understanding of the customs, the cost of living and so on. So some constantly run into troubles and even have to halt their study. You must keep in mind that you may also face tough problems like your peers.

  With best regards,

  Truly yours,

  Frank

  7. There is a conference going to be held at your local university that you would like to attend.

  Write a letter to the organizer of the conference. Explain your reasons for wanting to attend. Give some information about yourself and ask for any relevant information.

  Dear Professor Huang,

  I write for information regarding the forthcoming International Education Conference to be held at your university.

  I am about to complete a B.A. degree in Education from Nanjing University, and have a particular interest in the teaching of work place skills and employer’s perceptions of new graduates.

  I plan to attend the conference and would like information about the contributory speakers, the content of their talks, and their research interests. However, although I have been living in Nanjing for the past four years I am unfamiliar with Nanjing. Therefore, if you could please also send the details of how to get to your university it would make my arrangements much easier.

  In addition, if you could let me have details of the a

ccommodation that is available ( bearing in mind I’m still a student ) I would be more than grateful.

  I look forward to receiving the information and meeting you in person.

  Sincerely yours,

  8. Dear John,

  You have asked me for my advise concerning whether you should study math or computer science at university, and I will try to make some useful suggestions.

  You must keep in mind that, above all, your university training is a preparation for your future career. Therefore, your first consideration should be to study a subject which will best equip you to earn a living. There is no doubt that the field of computers offers far wider job opportunities than math.

  Besides, we are now in the age of high-technology revolution. For the foreseeable future, not only will it be necessary for everyone to be computer-literate, it will also be necessary for them to be equipped with computer skills merely to earn a living! Math, I am afraid, however fascinating it maybe, offers few career prospects.

  Of course, you don’t have to devote all your time at university to studying computers and nothing else. On the contrary, I would recommend that you keep up your studying of Math in your spare time. That way, you will find that your leisure hours are enriched while you prepare yourself for a worthwhile career in computers.

  Yours sincerely,

  9.Overseas Investment in Chinese Mainland

  The overseas investment in China has been , as the graph indicates, increasing from 1992 till now. The 1992 total investment saw only a little more than 10 billion US dollars while by 1997 the investment soared to more than 40.5 billion US dollars, the first quarter of 1998 has achieved nearly 10 billion dollars in spite of last year’s Asian financial crisis. On the whole, the investment from abroad in the past seven years experienced a steady and constant development.

  Among all the investment, money from Hong Kong and Macao made up the biggest share, as high as 47.8 percent. This is mainly due to the safe return of Hong Kong to the mainland and its stable and exuberant economy after the handovers, especially amid the financial turmoil, which have strongly boosted foreign investors confidence. Another noticeable share came from Taiwan. The improved relationship across the Taiwan Straits has considerably pushed forward the mainland foreign inflows. In addition, the United States and Japan are also expanding their investment in China with 7.2 percent and 9.6 percent respectively.

  In order to absorb more investment from abroad, we must continue to improve our investment environment. Besides speeding up the approval procedure for foreign investment ventures and attaching greater importance to investment promotion activities such as trade and investment fairs, we should help foreign invested ventures to solve problems. Now since our government increases investment in infrastructure, there will be abundant opportunities for foreign investors.

  9. Dear Mr. Annan, Jan.8 2004

  I am a college student from China, majoring in International Politics. I am honored to write to you to express my view on world peace.

  In this ever-changing society, peace and development are the two permanent themes. People from around the world cherish a peaceful co-existence. However, we regret to find that world peace is in a worsening situation. Regional conflicts, miniature wars, aggressive wars and ethnic cleansing are nothing new, if not everyday occurrences. Global powers, such as the U.S., are destroying people’s faith in peace for economic or nationalistic reasons. If this undesirable trend could not be reversed, our global village, in my view, would be ruined sooner or later.

  The United Nations, which is an international body coordinating a wide range of affairs, should take a leading role in bringing us a peaceful planet. I was hoping the UN, under your guidance, could do more to make our common dream – world peace – come true in the not too distant future.

  Best wishes,

  Respectfully yours

  10. Dear Xiaotong,

  Glad to receive your mail but sorry to hear that you failed in exams of some compulsory courses. You mentioned in your letter that “I have been losing sleep over this and this is a major setback in my college days”.

  In my view, it serves you right. After all, as a student, studying should be on top of your agenda. Although you have made a fortune and lighten your parents’ load through doing part-jobs, you missed the golden opportunity of learning. I would like to make some suggestions for you. You should strike / achieve / keep a balance between studying and extracurricular activit

  11. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: The popularization of mobile phones. You should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the chart and outline given below:

  2003第三季度中国/全球手机销量

  2003第三季度中国/全球手机销量


1.描述该表格

  2.分析原因

  3.预测未来的发展趋势及对个人与社会的影响

  The dawn of this new century witnessed the popularization of mobile phones. Purchases of mobile phones soared.(图表作文并不一定一开始就要描述图表) This chart depicts the sales volume of mobile phones domestically and globally .(先把图表反映的是什么总的说一下,然后再展开)The statistics show that China, in the third quarter of 2003,enjoys a sales volume of 18.49 millions, increasing by 22.79, compared with the corresponding period of last year. In the meantime, the global market boasts a sales volume of 132.8 millions, increasing by 22%.

  Why was there such a dramatic acceleration in the purchase of mobile phones?

  This phenomenon, for my part, can de attributed to two reasons. Firstly, the fast development of telecommunications technology ignited a huge expansion in mobile production. Secondly, the price of mobile phones has dropped substantially over the past decade, which transformed the mobile phone from an unaffordable luxury into a fashion accessory. A buying spree by people world-wide quickly brought cell phones into millions of households.

  As is true of (正如) any technological innovation, the development of mobile phones will experience an explosive growth in the foreseeable future. Mobile phones have had and

  will continue to have a far-reaching impact on both individuals and society. Mobile phones will revolutionize the way people communicate, gather information, do business, maintain ties with family members and even run the government. The ability to communicate instantly with people in other parts of the world, to have online access to a vast array of information via mobiles-- all of these capabilities will open up new possibilities unimaginable decades ago.

 阅卷心得

  全国四六级考试作文得分平均最高的三个地区是上海、江苏、浙江,其它地区一般都要低于这个水平,这次在浙江杭州批的是江苏、江西、广东、福建的卷子,江苏南京地区主要是负责上海,山东和海南三省市的卷子。 总体看来,四级作文除海南之外大都在8分左右,即第三个档次的文章偏多。具体作文评分原则还是02年制定的那个,大家可以找找点点论坛以前的帖子。

  江苏南京(代表江苏最高水平)四级作文5-6分的相当多, 平均分不到7分,12分以上相当少,考生的主要问题还是各种错误多,语言模板化,缺少亮点。估计有40%以上的考生作文6分以下,也就是说要倒扣分。其它省平均分更低,低大致1-2分。但一个地区平均水平不行,并不一定意味着你作为个体,得分不高。比如说在南京批的海南的卷子,尽管大部分都是一两分,但也有10分以上的。山东的作文也顺便提一下,基本上每次山东的作文大部分人内容都写很多,超过字数要求,这次也是。一般老师看你写这么多,是不好意思给你太低的分数的,这一点请大家体会。

  六级作文平均分比四级要更低一些,一般有50-60%的人低于6分。

  四六级作文如果缺少提示中的要点,一般少一点在你的得分档次上扣一分,但一般不超过3分,另外,六级作文如果没写成书信格式,没什么影响。

  在阅卷过程中,模板作文继续受到阅卷的老师批判,大家一定要注意!

  阅卷老师主要掌握这些原则,发现闪光点而不是找错误,(参见作文闪光点一帖)有语言错误但是不影响意思表达时可以理解(但必须是在用英语思维的前提下,而不是老师利用汉语的思维回译的内容),不能只注重语言和单词,要更多注意语句表达出来没有,大家可以好好看看11分档次和8分档次的样卷,可能大家会觉得8分的样卷中有很多大家常用的词组,或者出现高级词汇的频率要多些,但是在阅卷中最主要看的是思想的表达,文字的连贯,把该说的说出来,不拖泥带水才是最主要的

  创造闪光点,决胜四六级

  战鼓已经敲响了,各位奋斗在抗击CET最前线的点点英语的朋友们,你们辛苦啦,希望下面的内容能够帮上大家哦!

  作文是各类英语考试中得分率最低的题型之一。同学们在掌握了一定的作文模板,和基本的语法、词汇、句型用法之后,如果能在作文中创造一些词汇和句型的闪光点,必定会使你的作文如虎添翼!

  高分作文标志

  1:是否长短句交叉;

  2、是否会使用插入语;

  3、用词是否多样,准确,形象,尽量使用能够吸引阅卷老师眼球的闪光词;

  4、关键词是否换用,切勿老用重复词;

  5、句型使用是否准确、地道。

  下面给出写好一篇作文的注意事项:

  1.适当用被动替换主动,这样能更客观的反映事实, 句子开头不要总是用we / I (比如写结尾时不用we should pay attention to而用Attention should be paid to. ) 举个经典结尾2004年六月六级作文的最后一段:It is ,therefore, high time that some applicable approaches were implemented by the service industry like that. By doing so,its competitive edge will be sharpened effectively.

  2.善于使用插入语,比如说把副词、连接词等,作插入语放在中间,一般放在主语、动词或者助动词后,两边分别加上逗号。

  如however / therefore /for example/I believe 做插入语放在中间,一般放在动词,助动词后,两边分别加上逗号。

  比如说: Other individuals, however, take the attitude that …

  3. 一定要学会换词,换形象,具体的替换太宽泛的。(考试中一般不要出现good, bad , many, thing, think,

  people, opinion 等等)比如上面例子中,applicable替换proper, approaches替换ways, implement替换carry out, sharpen one’s competitive edge替换enhance one’s competitiveness(提高某物竞争力)

  下面举一篇南京工程学院某位同学写的优秀作文(14分)的例子,看看他是如何运用各类写作技巧的。这位同学把老师上课讲的各类写作手法和精彩替换和句型都用上了,作文有了很大的提高。

  Passage 1

  One major decision which faces the American student ready to begin higher education is the choice of attending a large university of a small college, The large university provides a wide range of specialized departments, as well numerous courses within such departments. The small college, therefore, generally provides a limited number of courses and specializations but offer a better student-faculty ratio, thus permit individualized attention to students. Because of its large student body ( often exceeding 20,000) consisting in many people from different countries the university exposes its students to many different culture, social and out-of-class programs. On the other hand, the smaller, more homogeneous (同性质的)student body of the big college affords greater opportunities in such activities. Finally, the university closely approximates the real world and which provides a relaxed, impersonal, and sometimes anonymous (隐姓埋名的)existence. On the contrast, the intimate atmosphere of the small college allows the student four years of structural living in which to expect and preparing for the real world. In making his choice among educational institutions the student must, therefore, consider a great many factors.

  Passage 4

  After months of speculation about what Amazon.com would

  do with its mysterious search-engine company, A9, Web

  surfers finally got their first taste on Apr. 14.

  Yet despite of some intriguing new features not yet found1.

  on leading sites such as Google and Yahoo! , the site

  () -- still in test mode -- rises as many questions2

  as it answers.

  The biggest question remains is whether Amazon, 3.

  through A9, would clash into Google more directly. 4.

  Google itself is testing a search engine for products

  called Froogle that’s starting to appeal Web shoppers. 5.

  At the same time, Amazon clearly isn’t looking to limit A9’s horizons.

  search champion, it faced lots of challenges. For one, 7.

  the contents of messages to pitch personalized ads. But comments

  posted on some sites already indicate some people are

  uncomfortable with Google’s potential threats to privacy. 10..

  Passage 5

  Almost every new innovation goes through three phases.

  When initially introducing into the market, the process 1.

  of adoption is slow. The early models are expensive and

  hard to use, and perhaps even unsafe. The economic

  impact is relatively great. 2.

  The second phase is the explosive one, where the innovation

  was rapidly adopted by a large number of people. It gets 3.

  cheaper and easier to use and becomes something familiar.

  And then in the third stage, diffusion of the innovation

  slows down again, as if it permeates out across the economy. 4.

  During the explosive phase, whole new industries spring

  up to produce the new product or innovation, and to service

  it. For example, during the 1920s, there was dramatic 5.

  acceleration in auto production, from 1.9 million in 1920

  to 4.5 million in 1929. This boom was accompanied into all 6.

  sorts of other essential activities necessary for an

  and garages, to repair it. 8.

  Historically, the same pattern is repeated again and again

  with innovations. The construction of the electrical system

  distribution capacity. The introduction of the radio was

  followed by a buying spree (无节制的狂热行为) by Americans

  what quickly brought radios into almost half of all households 10.

  by 1930, up from nearly none in 1924.
