寫作能力不是突擊幾天就可獲得的，寫出一篇優(yōu)秀的作文需要一個循序漸進(jìn)的過程，除了掌握英文寫作的一般知識外，大家平時應(yīng)該多讀、多練，不僅要在提高自己的英文語言方面下工夫，而且對一些社會熱點(diǎn)問題要多思考以形成自己的見解，在考試時可以從“大腦的信息庫”提取“觀點(diǎn)”，而不至于無話可說。下面給出一些優(yōu)秀的作文，作文形式基本上是四級的常見題型，供大家欣賞和借鑒。
范文1 "Good Health"
1．身體健康的重要性。 2．保持健康的途徑。 3．我自己的實(shí)踐。
Good Health
The desire for good health is universal. In our competitive society it is important to maintain good health. On the one hand, people with good health can do work with full confidence and their progress in work in turn contributes to their health and happiness. On the other hand, a sick person is usually not interested in everything around him and therefore he loses many opportunities to become successful.
There are many ways to keep it. First, those who are always on the go from morning till night should find time to relax because too much stress will affect their health. Second, enough time should be left for sleep because that will help one become rested and refreshed. Finally, regular physical exercises benefit one's health a lot. So one should always keep in mind that a certain amount of exercise is not a waste of time.
As for me, I like playing tennis in the morning. I also attach much importance to enough sleep and relaxation. I believe this will ensure my good health for the rest of my life.
<評析> 這篇文章語句通順，語言流暢，句式變化多樣，用詞面比較寬。就內(nèi)容來說，則很切題，包括了提綱中的所有要點(diǎn)。第一段的第二句即主題句是從提綱發(fā)展而來的，第二段的首句，即主題句也是由提綱中的第二點(diǎn)發(fā)展而來。
范文2 Hope Project
Education plays a very important role in the modernization of our country. However, because of historical factors, there are still a lot of people in China who are undereducated, especially among youngsters in rural areas. They cannot afford the expenses of schooling and need help. At the same time, China is not able to invest too much money in the matter at present time. It is in this particular situation that the authorities carry out the "Hope Project ".
This project is necessary to our country. It is an urgent measure that the government has taken. In the first place, this project will provide conditions for the youngsters to go back to school, which will contribute to their future success. Thus it will lead to the enhancement of the intelligence level in our country. Secondly, education makes it possible for people to acquire knowledge, which is useful to their future work. Hence, this Project benefits the modernization of our country a lot. Finally, it can make more people educated. Therefore, it may indirectly result in the increase of the living standards of our people.
In my opinion, this project is of great importance to our country at the present time. And it also will have a profound effect on the future achievements of our country. I suggest that more work be done so that every child in the countryside can receive elementary education.
<評析> 次序詞的使用不僅限于first, second, third，本文第二段使用了in the first place, secondly, finally列舉原因，說明希望工程為什么對我國很必需，條理清晰，層次分明
范文3 Modernizing China
Modernization will bring a number of benefits to the people of China. Advancements in science and technology will result in better industrial and consumer products. New roads, trucks and trains will improve transportation for both people and goods. With new health care methods people will live happier and longer.
However, modernization also gives rise to a number of new problems. Pollution of the air, ground, and water has become a serious problem in many parts of China. An increase in vehicles on the roads has also resulted in more traffic accidents, injuries and deaths.
We can, however, deal with these problems if we are careful. We can train many environmental scientists who can help factories operate cleanly. We can pass new laws to regulate our traffic more safely. Finally, we must expand our education system to prepare better educated people for tomorrow.
<評析> 本文是段與段之間使用過渡句較好的例子。文章第一段說現(xiàn)代化給中國人民帶來許多益處，第二段一開始就由however引出過渡句，指出現(xiàn)代化也同樣帶來新的問題。第三段段首的過渡句則用一個however巧妙地過渡到如何解決這些問題。過渡句的使用既表達(dá)了各段之間語義上的轉(zhuǎn)折，又使文章各段銜接自然。
范文4 Population Control
Progress in science and the improvement of living conditions have led to the rapid growth of the world population. Modern medicine, for example, has made it possible for babies to grow up healthily and for people to live longer. With improved living conditions, particularly in the countryside, people tend to have larger families. As a result, the world population has increased so rapidly that it has now exceeded 6 billion.
But the overgrowth of population presents a threat to the existence of human society. A large population demands a great deal of food supply and shelter space. However, limited productivity and scarce world resources can hardly meet the needs of the ever-increasing population. Thus, in the long run, the overgrowth of the world population will only harm mankind.
To guarantee the steady development of human society, mankind must realize the consequences resulting from fast population growth and carry out a family planning programme. Only by adopting effective measures, can human society develop steadily and have a bright future.
<評析> 本文把各個段落巧妙連接的方法是利用轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系：文章第一段說：科學(xué)的發(fā)展和生活條件的改善使世界人口出現(xiàn)了迅速增長。第二段卻一轉(zhuǎn)，說道：人口的過分增長威脅了人類社會生存，第二段段首句引出的問題，是第一段討論內(nèi)容的又一方面。最后一段提出解決辦法，即人們必須采取行之有效的人口政策限制人口的增長。
轉(zhuǎn)折過渡句往往用在這樣類型的文章，即所有事物都有正有負(fù)，正、反兩方面均提出后，再尋找解決辦法。
范文5 Controlling Cancer
There are two main causes of cancer: heredity and environment. We can do nothing to change our heredity, that is, the basic physical characteristics that were passed on to us by our parents. However, we can do a great deal to control our environment, which may account for 80-90 %of all cancers.
Environmental pollution can be divided into two kinds: personal and impersonal. Personal pollution may be defined roughly as unhealthy habits such as smoking, drinking, and eating the wrong foods. Clearly, with enough will power we can control this personal environment.
Impersonal pollution, on the other hand, refers to those things which are beyond our individual control. One example would be industrial pollution, which is very hard to control because of the expense involved. It would be expensive in terms of profits and perhaps jobs. The American automobile industry, for example, resisted the law requiring smog-control devices because it feared the added expense would reduce profits. Nevertheless, some laws protecting the environment have been quite successful in reducing pollution.
<評析> 文章第一段說：癌癥的起因有二，遺傳和環(huán)境。第二段說環(huán)境原因又有兩種，人為的和非人為的。第三段討論非人為原因造成的環(huán)境污染，這是全篇的重點(diǎn)，所以筆墨最多。文章的討論由粗到細(xì)，由大到小，最后歸結(jié)到了問題最嚴(yán)重，也最為關(guān)鍵的那一點(diǎn)。
范文6 Equality Between Men and Women
At present, more and more people think that men and women should enjoy equal rights. Many countries even have passed laws to guarantee such an equality between different sexes. Accordingly, there are now no longer certain jobs or certain places that are closed to women. The number of business women, female doctors, scientists and leaders is considerably increasing.
There are three main reasons for the improvement of women's social position. First, women themselves have been persistently struggling for equality. Second, men also realize that women are not born inferior to them. Women can do a great many things as well as or even better than men. Third, social development has produced a great demand for women's participation in every field.
In spite of these changes the liberation of women has not been completely realized. Prejudice against women is deeply rooted still in some people's mind, especially in distant rural areas. So, mankind should take further painstaking efforts to really realize equality.
<評析> 本文過渡詞使用較好。文章的第二段，就是非常典型的用first, second, third為次序詞從三方面進(jìn)行論證的例子。
范文7 Getting to Know the World outside the Campus
1．大學(xué)生了解社會的必要性
2．了解社會的途徑（大眾媒介，社會服務(wù)等）。
3．我打算怎么做。
Getting to Know the World outside the Campus
With the rapid development of our society, the campus is no longer an "Ivory Tower". Students must get in touch with the world outside the campus so that they can adapt themselves to society more quickly when they graduate.
Almost all students keep themselves informed by TV, radio broadcasts and newspapers. Some of them even take up a part-time job in their spare time. Working as tutors, serving in some fast-food restaurants… All these have kept students in touch with society.
Now the summer vacation will come and I've already found myself a job－working as a typist in an office. I've learned typing for many years and I think I can do it well. It's a good chance for me to get to know society, to learn how to get along with my colleagues and to see how my knowledge is put into practise. When the next semester begins, I'll still try to get this kind of little job. Regardless of the pay, I think the most important thing is that I can really know a lot about society.
<評析> 本文采用重復(fù)使用中心詞（組）的方法來達(dá)到過渡。文章雖沒有使用任何過渡詞，但通篇文章讀起來通順流暢，并無邏輯問題，原因在于文章運(yùn)用關(guān)鍵詞重復(fù)的手法。文章標(biāo)題為“了解校園以外的社會”，所以文章的中心詞定位于“了解社會”。第一段中有＂get in touch with the world outside the campus＂，第二段末尾有＂get in touch with the society＂，第三段中有＂get to know the society＂，段尾又有＂know a lot about the society＂，四次重復(fù)出現(xiàn)關(guān)鍵詞點(diǎn)出文章的主旨所在。
范文8 Human Beings and Animals
Human beings are different from animals in many ways. One of the differences is the ability of human beings to build. It is true that many animals are builders. Birds make nests, and bees make hives. But no animal could build the pyramids or the Great Wall or the Eiffel Tower. The variety, size, and beauty of the structures built by human beings is simply unsurpassed.
Another difference is the ability of human beings to use intelligence. Many animals are probably more clever than we realize, but no animal has the ability to write, to reason, or to speak. Only human beings can invent computers, make use of solar energy. Only human beings paint, draw, compose music, and write poetry.
These are but a few of the differences between human beings and animals. It is our special abilities that give us power to affect the world for the benefit of all mankind. We should be thankful for those abilities and learn to use them in a more wise way.
<評析> 本文是利用過渡句過渡的一篇范例。這篇文章第一段第一句是全文的論點(diǎn)，指出人與動物在很多方面不同。第一段討論了第一種不同，即人的建筑能力非動物所能及。第二段講的是第二種不同，即人有智慧。第三段說人與動物的不同還有其它很多種。第一、二、三段的段首句是每段的統(tǒng)領(lǐng)，而它們之間又存在著遞進(jìn)的關(guān)系。

Title: Different Social Customs Between Americans and Chinese
Key words and expressions:
1) differ, if …not, misunderstanding, informal, social, impolite
2) difference, in a conversation, coat, cost, impolite, age, politics, religion, avoid
3) many other, keep…in mind, better, understand
Different Social Customs Between Americans and Chinese
Social customs differ in different parts of the world. If we don't realize this, misunderstanding may arise between people that behave differently. In the United States, people are very informal in social situations. For example, they call each other by their given names when two people first meet. So do the young to the old. In China, it would be regarded quite impolite to do so.
Another difference is about what can be talked about in a conversation. A Chinese thinks nothing of being asked how much his coat cost while Americans think it impolite to ask such a question. A Chinese woman doesn't care if she is asked about her age. Politics, religions, as well as incomes are often talked about among Chinese. But in the United States these kinds of subjects are usually avoided in conversation.
Since there are many other different social customs between Americans and Chinese, the way that we behave and what we talk about requires our attention. If we keep these in mind, we will do it better and understand each other better.
<評析>：本文以所給關(guān)鍵詞為主線，合理填充內(nèi)容。第一段從世界范圍闡述社會習(xí)慣的存在，以美國作為例子，緊扣標(biāo)題。第二段則進(jìn)一步點(diǎn)出區(qū)別到處存在，年齡、政治、收入的話題常常在中國人之間談起，而在美國，諸如此類問題避而不談。第三段指出由于存在不同的社會習(xí)慣，我們在行為舉止、談話內(nèi)容等方面要多加注意，這樣才能促進(jìn)兩國人民相互之間的理解?？梢娊Y(jié)尾并不是對開頭簡單的重復(fù)，而是對開頭的升華，把文章提高到了一個更高的層次。
范文10 To Learn English Well By Speaking More
Many Chinese students who have learned English for more than ten years are still unable to speak English fluently when they meet a foreigner. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.
It is not uncommon that many students, who are bad speakers of English, can write English perfectly. This proves that they are not able to organize their ideas in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and confidence.
Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking? Don't be shy, they will not laugh at you just for a small mistake you have made. The best way to get rid of this trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that constant practice will help you to succeed.
<評析>文章第一、二段分析了許多學(xué)了十多年英語的中國學(xué)生見了外國人依然不能用英語流利地對話這一現(xiàn)狀產(chǎn)生的原因。文章在第三段提出解決這一問題的方法就是多說多練。全文切題，思路清晰，行文流暢，文字順通，連貫性較好，基本上沒有語言錯誤。
