1、注重写好文章的框架
我曾经问过我的外教老师，外国人看文章最注重的是什么，他告诉我说是文章的framework.即一篇文章好不好，首先看的不是他的句型，词汇，或是论点等。而是段落之间的衔接一定要十分清楚，我们不能老是采用大三段的形式-开头，经过，结尾。我们可以多用用连接词，例如：first of all, moreover, secondly, lastly等，另外可以多分自然段，给考官一目了然的感觉。还有我们可以多看看国外的文章，看看他们的写作模式，我当初写文章的时候，用的就是我看到一篇国外文章的模式，我觉得可以套用，我最后介绍给大家。
2、句型的多样化
如果一篇文章，从头到尾，永远用的只有一种句型，那么这篇文章一定拿不到高分，我们可以适当的改换一下句型，我给大家一定建议，希望给大家有点帮助。
3、基本句型包括
Ⅰ．主谓句；Ⅱ. There be；Ⅲ.主系表结构的句子；Ⅳ.被动语态（我看到一张帖字说，不要用被动，我不这样认为，国外的文章，用被动的也比比皆是。
4、复杂句型
包括Ⅰ.并列句；Ⅱ.从句（定语，状语，名词性，非谓语）
5．词汇的Variety
说实话做到这点真的很难，首先你要有庞大的词汇量，第二你要用的恰当，不出错误。我自认做不到这点，所以我用的词汇有时候会重复。当然大家可以累计一些固定搭配的词汇，例如：激烈的.竞争fierce competition等
6、多举EXAMPLE（重要）
大家不要小看这点，我认为对于写作基础不是很好的考生来说，这点是最重要的。一篇文章如果让你从头到尾都在讲道理，你有这么多话要说吗？而且有时候还不一定说的清楚。那么这时候你就用例子来表明你的观点。我认识一个朋友，可以说她的英语基础很差，但她的文章也拿了6分，我问她怎么写的，她告诉我说就是拼命的举例子。就这点我也曾问过我的外教老师，他曾是IELTS的考官，他说考官欢迎考生多举例子。
7、建议：
1）写文章最关键的就是审题千万不要出错误，不然就前功尽弃了。
Cultivate independence
Develop a strong sense of responsibility
Enhance social awareness
Build up one’s confidence and offer one’s a sense of achievement—realize ones value and capacity

英文书信有正式与非正式之分，英文便条为非正式书信。
TEM4(英语专业四级
(一) 格式(format)正确TEM4便条的格式与普通英文书信格式基本相同。
具体来说，它应有日期(date)、称呼 (saluwfion)、正文(body)及结尾(ending)，结尾包括结尾套语(complimentary close)和签名(signature)。1.日期指写便条的日期。英文便条与汉语便条的日期写的地方有别，前者的日期一般写在便条的右上角，偶尔也见写在便条的左上角，而后者的日期则写在便条的右下角，即写在签名的下面。英文日期与汉语日期的写法也有不同，汉语一般先写年，然后再写月、日，而英文则一般把年份写在月、日的后面。另外，英文日期的月、日与年之间通常用逗号隔开。例如，2008年4月21日通常写成April 21，2008或April 21 st，2008;当然，由于是非正式书信，也可以去掉年份，写成Ap l 2l或April 21st(不过，这种写法，只是最近两年才被TEM4接受)，或者写成21/4/2008或4/21/2008。日期能说明便条的有效度，没有日期，则会使人感到茫然。2.称呼称呼是指写便条人对收便条人的称谓，一般都以Dear开头，写在日期下一两行、留出左页边空白，顶格写。TEM4试卷中一般对写便条人与收便条人之间的关系作了提示。提示中的“you”指的是写便条人，提到的另一方便是收便条人。称呼时，一般只需在其名字前加Dear即可，如 Dear Susan，Dear Tom。若此人有头衔(social title)，称呼时，便要保留其头衔，例如Dr.Herce，要称Dear Dr.Pierce，不称Dear Pierce。如果提示中的另一方是以Mrs Wang或Mr Wang出现，称呼时也只需在其前加Dear便可，即称DearMrs Wang或Dear MrWang，若只称Dear Wang则视为不妥。当对方为亲属时，在Dear 后面加上表示亲属关系大写的字眼即可，如Dear Grandpa，Dear Aunt。值得一提的是，近年来TEM4也接受不带Dear的称呼。称呼后面可用逗号，也可用冒号。3.正文www.freetem4tem8.cn正文是写便条人要叙述或谈论的事情，是便条的主要组成部分。一般书信是在称呼下方隔两行处开始写正文。但就TEM4便条而言，一般在称呼的下一行开始写正文便可。正文的首行左边一般留约5个字母宽的'空白，但也可顶格写。便条的内容简单、字数少，因此，正文一般只需写一段或两段。若有两段，第二段的首行应与第一段的首行对齐写。4.结尾如前所述，结尾包括结尾套语和签名。
(1)结尾套语结尾套语的位置一般是在正文最后一行的下面，从便条的中央部分开始，稍向右缩进。当然，若正文的开头是往左顶格写，此时的结尾套语也应往左顶格写。开头字母要大写，末尾要用逗号。结尾套语为写便条人对收便条人的谦称或客套以示礼貌，措辞的变化按照不同的关系而定。现分述如下：① 致不熟悉的人，宜用较庄重的套语，如Yours sincerely，Sincerely yours，或Sincerely等。② 对上级、长者，除了可用上述较庄重的套语，也可用Yours respectfully或Respectfully yours。③ 对一般朋友或熟人可用①中提到的较庄重的套语语，也可用Yours等较为随便的套语。④ 对密友则采用较随便的套语为宜。例如，Yours，Love，With love，Best wishes，Best regards等等。⑤ 对亲属可用下列任何一种：Love，With love，All my love，Yours affectionately，Affectionately yours，Lovingly yours，Yours lovingly，Your loving son(Dad?);但对亲人，不宜用Sincerely yours~由于TEM4便条写作一般是针对考生日常生活或学习相关的事情，写作的对象一般是其朋友、老师、熟人，因此，TEM4通常只接受Yours sincerely，Sincerely yours，Sincerely，或Yours这几种结尾套语。(2)签名即写便条人署名，位于结尾套语下，偏右。若结尾套语是往左顶格写，这时的署名也应往左顶格写。签名也由写便条人和收便条人的关系和亲疏程度而定。有时TEM4指定了写便条人的名字，签名时应采用那个名字。若无指定名字，考生也不宜用自己的真名。一般只需写名不写姓，但若用了较庄重的结尾套语，此时可签全名。
(二)内容完整一般而言，一封理想的TEM4便条应包括以下三点：(1)写便条的原因;(2)要告诉的事情;(3)有关的希望、建议或要求等。便条写作提示的情况都是与人们日常生活或学习相关的事情。例如，对别人提供的帮助表示感谢，邀请朋友参观书展，因不能准时赴约而表示道歉，把信息转告给朋友等。所提示的内容就是考生要表达的思想内容。思想内容有先后之分，要讲究其逻辑性，还得注意其完整性。生活中有些约定俗成的东西，写作时，应考虑这方面的因素。例如，写道歉信时，一般都先向对方表示歉意或内疚，同时说明发生疏忽、过失、或错误的原因，提出弥补的办法，这样有利于取得对方的谅解。现以近年一次英语专业四级考试便条写作为例加以说明：该提示是：Yesterday you failed to turn up for the appointment with your teacher，Professor Wang.Write him a note of apology and make a request for another meeting.YO u should also suggest the time for the requested meting.仔细阅读这一提示，你就会发现，第一句为第二旬所要求的道歉确定了内容;为了求得对方的谅解，获得另一次会面的机会，你就必须说明前次未能赴约见面的原因。因此，本便条的内容必须包括以下四项：
(1)apologizing for failure to turn up for the appointment，
(2)the reason for failure to turn up，
(3)making a request for another meeting，
(4)suggesting the time for the requested meeting。其中(3)、(4)为提示中明确要求表达的内容，(1)、(2)则是根据道歉类书信特点而必须表达的内容。内容为便条写作的重头戏。写作时，切莫忽视提示中的任何信息，同时要关注交际中所需的相关信息。当然，在注意提示中的信息时，特别是首句，要注意用自己正确的语言来表达，不能完全抄提示，否则会扣分。
(三)语言得体内容和语言是一个统一体。内容抓住后，应以恰当的语言来表达。一般来说，便条的语言要简单明嘹，用词平易。当然，语言风格还应与情景一致，不同的对象，所使用的语言应有所不同。相对来说，对上级、长者、不熟悉的人的语言较为正式，对亲朋好友的语言则较为随便。不过，不管对方是谁，行文中都应体现态度诚恳礼貌。
(四)字数符合要求TEM4便条总字数(包括日期、称呼、结尾在内)的要求是约50—60个字。尽管在这数字之间还可以少l0字，或多20字，即40-80字，不过，还是篇幅适中为好，以免因显得太短或太长而扣分。二TEM4便条写作中常见的问题便条写作中常见的问题主要表现在格式、内容、语言等方面。
(一)格式方面1.日期部分往往被漏掉，或漏掉日期中年与月、日之间的逗号，或在日期后面加点，或按汉语的顺序写成(如2006年4月22日，写成April 22 2006;April 22，2006.;2006.5.9;其正确形式请参照前文的相应部分)，或按汉语习惯把它写在签名的下面。2.称呼未往左顶格写，或与日期同写一行;称呼后面打句号，或未打逗号或冒号。把结尾套语和签名同写一行，或漏写结尾套语，或漏掉结尾套语后面的逗号。
(二)内容方面便条的内容虽简单，但漏掉必须表达的内容的情况时有发生。例如，在前文提到的那次TEM4便条写作，考生对未赴约的原因应加以说明，可不少考生只写了如下相似内容的便条：I am very sorry for missing yesterday’s appointment，so I do hope we can mak ean other one.Sunday evening is convenient for me.W hat about you?内容方面还因理解不透，或自立标准而导致交际不成功的情况也不鲜见。还是以前文提到的那次TEM4便条写作为例，评分取样的九份答卷中就有三份类似的例子。其中一份这样写道，“I’m very glad to receive your note.About our appointment I think we can change an other time.Maybe tomorrow，1 will be fre an d stay at home all day.Ifyouarealsofreetomorrow ，you can call me at anytime.Then 1 will visit you?”该提示要写一封简短的道歉信，而这位考生的答案却与此大相径庭，信中丝毫没有流露出道歉的意念。
(三)语言方面便条中的语言错误可分为理解和表达两大类，主要体现在措辞、语法、拼写等方面。
1.措辞不当措辞不当在这里既指一般遣词造句中出现的语言运用错误 (performance erors)，又指因未按TEM4便条测试中提供的语境遣词造句而产生的语用失误(pragmatic failures)，还指因忽视对方的社会或文化背景差异而造成的语用失误。此类问题在TEM4便条写作中相当严重。我们还是以前文提到的那次TEM4便条写作为例;鉴于篇幅，且举三例：(1) 在1 would appreciate you if you could have another meeting with me这句话中，appreciate后面的宾语不妥。只要细心的读者翻阅一下词典，就会发现appreciate(感谢)的英文释义是be grateful for(something)，若把句中的you改为it(代表后面那件事)，或把appreciate改为be grateful to，或把appreciate you改为be grateful，这句话就对了。(2)考生在便条的开头就对因病未能与王教授约会表示道歉后，接着写道：I'm anxious to make an appointment with you.而根据上下文应该是，I'm anxious to make another appointment with you(??与你另订一次约会)。(3)你(写便条人)自己因某种原因而没去赴约，况且约会的对象是你的老师，事后还要命令对方到你家来见你，或以命令的 IZl吻表示要给你打电话。象“You must come to my home”，或‘'Give me a call to discuss it further'’这类话有失礼貌，使人
2.语法错误便条中的语法错误有多种，常见的有冠词、词性、动词的时与体、句子结构等错误。(1)冠词错误，如I'm anxious to make a(应为an)appointment with you.(2)词性错误，如I must make an apologize(正确为apology)for failing to turn up for the appointment.(3)动词的时与体等方面的错误，例如：a.If you will be(应把will be改为are)free tomorrow, we shall meet again.b.I am sorry to fail(正确为to have failed而不是tofall，因事情已发生)to turn up for the appointment yesterday.(4)句子结构错误，例如：I'm very sorry.I didn’t turn up for the appointment with you. Because my mother was seriously ill yesterday and I had to take her to see the doctor(应改为I'm very sorry I didn’t turn up for the appointment with you yesterday because my mother was seriously ill and I had to take her to see the doctor).
3.拼写错误与别的主观题一样，便条写作中拼写错误数见不鲜。例如：professor---,profesor/profesor;convenient-* conveint/convinen~convinient; recejve—} recieve; appointment ---~apointment/pointment.
专四英语作文 篇1
Traveling can be wonderful. It introduces us to new experiences, broadens our minds and helps us relax. However, not everyone likes to travel in the same way. Some people prefer to travel alone so that they can do what they like during their trip without having to worry about anyone else. Others like to have a companion to share the experience with. I am one of the latter, because I believe that traveling with someone has many advantages.
When I travel with a companion, I have someone with whom to share what I experience. We can talk over the day’s events and discoveries, and this will make them more interesting. In addition, it is often comforting to have a familiar person around when we are in a strange environment. When I am traveling in a foreign country, I may be unable to speak the language or may be confused by the local customs. With a travel companion, I will always have someone to talk and share my feelings with. Finally, a travel companion can make the journey easier and safer. We can help each other to take the journey easier and safer. We can help each other to take care of our bags and get information, as well as keep each other company while waiting in long lines.
To sum up, I prefer to travel with a companion rather than travel alone. I believe it adds enjoyment and comfort to may trip. And when we return from our journey, my friends and I can share our wonderful memories.

Crisis is to our life what illness is to our body. Just as fatal disease can destroy our body and sometimes even put an end to our lives, so does smashing crisis knock us down so hopelessly that we might never have chance of standing up again. However, most crises that frequent us in life are not such category. They, like occasional ailments which sometimes can bolster our body's immune system, are mostly minor and surmountable and therefore making us hardy enough to survive whatever adversities in our later life. Even those serious crises, if handled properly, can be turned to a blessing to us, too.
As far as a nation is concerned, crisis can be rendered beneficial. Take Wenchuan earthquake which shook most of Sichuan recently for example. The crisis has cost us Chinese a lot. Houses collapsed, bridges broke down and many affected areas were cut off from the outside world. Nearly a million people lost their homes, ten thousands of people were injured and another ten thousands of people were killed. But our sufferings won't go in vain. Scientists are more determined to improve the means by which we forecast earthquakes with more accuracy. We should build houses which can survive the destructive earthquakes. And we also should better the mechanism to face the emergencies and crisis.
As for economic life, crises are not always rendered bad. During these times, we can stop the race of fast economy to speculate about some fundamental issues of humanity such as how much high-speed development in this way can contribute to the well-being of human life. Just take my own country for instance. Of course, in the past two decades or so, our economy has gained the highest speed man has experienced. But haven't we paid too much? Our rivers are polluted. Our natural resources are shrinking. Our national power of creation is drained. Is it worthy of it? Isn't it high time we gave it a serious thought? Shouldn't we stop making ourselves long in quantity and short in quality? And chance of deep thought has come with this crisis, which is now deepening in most parts of the world.
Crisis sometimes contributes to our life treasure in a way that few can imagine. It can weather us and make us strong enough to face ourselves when we feel weak. Eric, my uncle is a case in point. He had hard time in his childhood going through such a fatal disease that he had never thought he could survive. He was in due course saved by doctors. Ever since then he regarded his life as a second given by God and has been so grateful to the world that he has been doing whatever he can to give back in the same measure to other fellows. And now he is living a happy and successful life.
As a well-known ancient Chinese notion goes, the past lessons if not forgotten can be good teachers for us all. If we can bear in mind the various sufferings and ordeals we have experienced, then our sufferings will not go unrewarded and those of our compatriots who was killed in the earthquake did not die in vain. We should take the lessons from crisis and regard them as a chance for new growth.

Just as is revealed in the pictures above, people are generally classified into two types: the pessimistic and the optimistic. We can see in one picture some people, long-faced and downhearted, are counting the nights by the shadows while in the other picture the happy-go-lucky people are enjoying the starry nights. What a contrastive view! Remember, it is not the bad thing that determines our state of mind but the way we look at it matters. (描述点题段) (以小到大)
An example that comes to mind is SARS crisis that has recently torn apart and ravaged most of China. Admittedly, it has cost us quite a lot. Some people suffered from health damage and still some even lost their lives. And our economy suffers a temporary setback and a slowdown. However, we still have learnt and benefited a lot from it. (举例说明段) 4. First things first, we are more concerned than never before with our health, and the environment we live in. Additionally, we tried and bettered and are still bettering our mechanism to respond to unexpected crises. These and other lessons at the expense of blood, tear, toil and sweat are benefiting and continue to benefit us and generations of Chinese to come. (分析问题段)
The best way to overcome the frustrations brought about crises is to always take a positive outlook on life. Just as a well-known ancient Chinese notion goes, the past lessons if not forgotten are good teachers for us all. If we can bear in mind sufferings and ordeals we have experienced, then our sufferings will not go unrewarded. (前瞻感言段)

water is very important for living things. without water there can be no life on earth.
as we can see, the world population is growing rapidly day by day. so enough fresh water is needed to feed such a big population. what's more, with the development of industry, factories and vehicles produce poisonous gases or wastes, which consequently results in the pollution of water. though fresh, a good amount of it can no longer be used. only quite limited fresh water resource is available to human beings. so it's high time for us human beings to take quick action to protect water resource. stop pollution and save water, otherwise, we cannot survive on the earth.
with fresh water, the world will be prosperous.
water is the source of life.we can't live without water.however,with the increasing population and industrial development,water pollution has become a serious problem.large amounts of wastewater go into rivers and seas directly without being treated,which can be dangerous to people.also lots of people pay no attention to saving water in daily life,while in some place water is badly needed.
it's time for us to take some measures to improve the situation.factories should treat the wastewater before letting it go into rivers.we can play a positive role in saving water.for example we can reuse the water for wishing rice to wash vegetables and then clean a mop.
water is indispensable to our life and the development of national economy. it is often described as the source of all living things and the lifeblood of agriculture and industry. without it, nothing could grow and out world would become a terrible desert.
the world we live in is now faced with a severe shortage of fresh water. according to some official figures, more than 1,700 million people in the world don't have enough clear water to drink and over 25 thousand people die of water related diseases daily.
so, all of us should actively b save water. it's our obligation for the benefit of the future generations.
