四级英语作文训练内容摘要：

if you hear them ing out of the mouth of college students. It’ s quite mon to hear and see college students swapping information about the brands they like and the products they use. In fact, discussions about brand names have bee one of the college students’ favourite pastimes. They learn about the latest fashion from each other, exchange tips about when and where to get the item, and buy it at their earliest convenience. “ Keeping up with the Joneses” is their conviction – “ If the Joneses have it, how could I have not?” About this current mindset of the college students, many people may hasten to show their disapproval. They’ ll probably take it to be a reflection of the students’ vanity and superficiality. And they may lecture them on the virtue of being thrifty. However, I beg to differ. For one thing, namebrand products are usually quality products. As such, they are something beautiful, endurable, and reliable. “ The love of beauty is mon to all,” goes the proverb。 therefore, there’ s nothing to blame about the pursuit of famous brands. For the other, college students are old enough to make their own decisions. Likewise, they must abide by the consequences if they make an illadvised one. If they let their pursuit of brands eat into their budget for other more important issues, they should be able to correct their mistakes and keep everything in moderation. So this bees no other than a good chance to learn management, isn’ t it? ◇第一段思路点评：本段分为两个部分，即详细陈述大学生追求和使用名牌的情况，以及人们对此的看法。 ◇语言点提示： （ 1） keeping up with the Joneses 要在地位和物质上比得上周围的人 （ 2） conviction 坚定的信仰、看法 （七） Knowledge and Diploma 1. 目前社会上存在这样一种说法：文凭越高越吃香 2. 而有些人则认为文凭不等于知识 3. 你的观点 ● 审题概述● 这是一篇论述高文凭与知识关系的文章。 第一段，概述社会上文凭越高越吃香的看法。 第二段，主要论述有些人文凭不等于知识的观点。 第三段，重点阐述你对此的看法。 【范文】 Knowledge and Diploma It is generally believed that a high diploma guarantees a promising future. Some people identify high diplomas with profound knowledge and exceptional petence. Companies also tend to emphasize the academic achievement of a job candidate. Like it or not, there does exist a social reality – the higher diplomas one gets, the more popular he bees. On the contrary, other people claim that a high diploma doesn’ t automatically translate into knowledge. A diploma, in their eyes, is only the acknowledgment of one’ s educational experience rather than a guarantee of one’ s ability. Therefore, we can never measure the depth of one’ s knowledge by the grade of one’ s diploma. Besides, many knowledgeable people don’ t have a high diploma. Take Bill Gates for example. His dropping out of college cannot deny the fact that he is one of the world’ s most learned men. So I must say no one should ever equate a diploma with knowledge, because a diploma is nothing but a proof of a shortterm study while genuine knowledge needs one’ s lifelong devotion. ◇第一段思路点评：先陈述人们对高文凭高能力的看法，再点出这是一种社会现实。 ◇语言点提示： job candidate 求职者、应聘者 ◇第二段思路点评：详细论述文凭并不等于能力。 ◇语言点提示： Acknowledgment 承认、致谢、感谢、答谢 ◇第三段思路点评：使用一个长句阐述了你对文凭与知识辩证关系的认识。 ◇语言点提示： （ 1） equate a diploma with knowledge 把文凭与知识划等号 （ 2） nothing but a proof of a shortterm study 只是短期学习的证明 （八） The Rise of Shanzhai Culture 1. 最近兴起了一股“山寨热” 2. 你如何看待山寨现象 ● 审题概述● 本文是一篇论述山寨现象以及人们和你对此看法的文章。 第一段，概述方兴未艾的山寨热。 第二段，阐述山寨产品的优势以及给人们带来的好处。 第三段，论述人们和你对山寨现象的反对立场和观点，即山寨产品的非法性。 【范文】 The Rise of Shanzhai Culture The vast array of knockoff namebrand products, such as cell phones, DVDs, MP3 players, have made “ shanzhai” the hottest word of the year. Now we wear shanzhai watches, talk through shanzhai cell phones, play shanzhai video games, use shanzhai puters, even watch shanzhai TV shows. Once a term used before some electronic products to suggest a copycat version of inferior quality, shanzhai now suggests to many Chinese creativity and trendiness. With the media all over the rise of shanzhai culture, public opinions are clearly divided. Advocates invariably associate it with innovation, stylishness, the DIY spirit, openmindedness and practicality, as shanzhai products often mix imitation with innovation – a similar skin but a different heart. The end products are usually more functional and much cheaper than the original. Besides, they respond to the market more swiftly and they are more considerate in design. Thanks to them, more people at the grassroots level can enjoy the benefit of modern technology. However, other people, including myself, hold more reserved attitudes towards the shanzhai fever. For all the popularity it has won, a copycat is a copycat. The mockery of the prestige products not only steals their profits but also upsets market petition. Moreover, shanzhai products thrive on the current legal loopholes. Under the disguise of antidominance slogans, they make illegal profits by violating intellectual property rights and evading taxes. And to top it off, the socalled innovation is only senseless talk as true innovation always faces huge costs and potential failures, while plagiarism simply builds success on other people’ s risks. ◇第一段思路点评：综述山寨热现象。 ◇语言点提示： … public opinions are clearly divided 此句起承上启下的作用 ◇第二段思路点评：主要阐述山寨产品的优势。 ◇语言点提示： （ 1） mix imitation with innovation 混 淆模仿与创新 （ 2） respond to the market 对市场做出反应 ◇第三段思路点评：主要阐述对山寨产品侵权、扰乱市场等方面的看法。 ◇语言点提示： （ 1） The mockery of the prestige products 拙劣地模仿名牌 （ 2） thrive on 茁壮成长、蓬勃发展、繁荣 （ 3） legal loopholes 法律漏洞（空子） （ 4） Under the disguise of antidominance slogans 在反垄断口号的伪装下 （ 5） violating intellectual property rights 违反知识产权 （ 6） evading taxes 逃税 （ 7） plagiarism 剽窃、抄袭 （九） It’ s Time to Stop Software Piracy 1. 盗版软件比比皆是 2. 盗版软件猖獗的原因 3. 如何打击盗版软件。
