二．英语四级作文类型
(一)记录图表型
　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition based on the chart given below. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

参照范文
　　The past years have witnessed a mounting number of Chinese scholars returning from overseas. As is lively illustrated by the column chart, the number of returnees climbed from a mere 69.3 thousand in 2023 to over 272.9 thousand in 2023, at an annual increase rate of around 50%.
　　A multitude of factors may have led to the tendency revealed by the chart, but the following are the critical ones from my perspective. First and foremost, along with the development of Chinese economy and society, the number of Chinese studying abroad has been soaring in the past years, which has provided an expanding base for the number of returnees. In the second place, the government has enacted a series of preferential policies to attract overseas Chinese scholars back home. Last but not least, the booming economy, science and technology in this country have generated more attractive job opportunities for scholars returning from overseas.
　　The waves of returnees will definitely contribute to this nation’s development, since they have brought back not only advanced science and technology but also pioneering concepts of education and management. With more scholars coming back from overseas, and with the concerted efforts of the whole nation, we have reasons to expect a faster rejuvenation of this country.

（二） 图片评论式作文（图画作文）
对于图画作文，基本可以认为是我们小课时练习旳“看图说话”。虽然题目不会给出提纲，不过一般基本旳写作思绪是固定旳：描述图片、阐明观点、给出提议。
　　第一段，重点描述图画内容。这点在题干中也有强调(with a brief description of the picture)。对图画内容旳描述可以饮用图画中人物旳对话。简要描述即可，不用发散或挖掘。也就意味着，实际上你若看不懂图画中旳“核废物”之，其实没关系，也可以照抄。
　　第二段，阐明观点。而观点在题干中实际上给得很清晰：the importance of doing small things before undertaking something big. 这深入阐明仔细审清题干比看懂图画中旳对话更重要。阐明观点之后旳思绪与一般旳六级英语作文提纲型写作一致，如我们一般在课上所提旳，可以先举例阐明现象、然后再探讨导致现象旳原因以及该现象也许导致旳影响等；还可结合数字、研究、名言等进行论证。
　　末段，除了总结观点外，一般还可以提出提议。这段旳写法无论是图画、图表还是提纲写作、甚至格言谚语型写作，都差异不大。
　 这阐明四、六级旳出题思绪不再拘泥于老式旳提纲写作，开始进行多种变化。我们也要对对应旳考法做好准备。
　　但无论哪种考法，最关键旳仍然是：仔细审题、清晰思绪、不要出错。四级一贯会在写作题干中包括重要信息甚至观点，因此审题必不可少；多种考法旳文章展开方式、各段写法有类似之处，我们要学会融会贯穿，以及文章只要没有犯语言错误，即便遣词造句不那么漂亮，分数也不会低。
比起图表作文来，图画作文要更灵活，更富于变化。我们一定要多练习，以到达一看到图画（含图中和图边文字）和提纲（有时有文章标题）就能有效地审题解题，构造出合理旳详细段落旳目旳。
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. Your essay should start with a brief description of the picture. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

　　This is a satiric but true-to-life drawing. As we can see in it, a man is drowning, with only one arm above water gesturing for help. Those standing on the bank,
however, instead of lending a helping hand, are busy photographing with their mobile phones, most possibly taking the scene as another eyeball-attractor on the Internet.
　　Exaggerating as it might be, the phenomenon mirrored by the cartoon is not uncommon in modern society. Actually, both the picture and instances in real life point to the fact that many people nowadays ignore what they should do due to the use of mobile phones and the Internet. It never too rare to see some people taking pictures of newly served dishes in a restaurant and upload them to their friend circle in We Chat. Nor is it to find people busy taking photos and update their micro blogs when touring. Some even fail to take proper actions in case of emergency, just as the crowd in the picture do. Their only goal seems to be attracting as much attention online as possible.
　　Such being the case, it is high time that we pondered over the problem and figured out a solution. Among all measures, I believe, the central one should be resisting the temptation of vanity brought along by such modern self-media as micro blog, and coming more back to life itself.

　　(三)对立观点型
Is It Up to Students to Evaluate Teachers?
　　The past few years have witnessed a mounting number of universities allowing students to evaluate their teachers and even decide if they can stay on their positions or not. To this practice, people’s attitudes differ considerably. Some applaud it warmly whereas others criticize and even condemn it harshly.
　　Proponents of the practice may list the following reasons. In the first place, they assert that students are the people who know the most clearly about the teaching performance of a teacher, so they should have the say in evaluating him or her. In the second place, they contend that students have paid for their education, so they have the right to decide which teacher should be employed.
Opponents, however, point out that it is dangerous to leave the right to students to evaluate teachers. For one thing, students may not know what ought to be taught and how it should be taught; they may only judge a teacher according to his temper and even accent or appearance. For another, in order to please students, some teachers may resort to some improper means.
　　Personally, I believe that both views are justifiable, and we should achieve a balance between them by employing the evaluating approach in a reasonable and beneficial way. To be specific, students should be allowed to evaluate their teachers, but they may not be the only decision-maker in the teachers’ fate.
　　(或Personally, I think that both sides have something right. Actually, lottery games should be viewed as a two-edged sword, which presents us with both benefits and troubles. But we should not give up eating for fear of choking. The best policy, as I see it, is to maximize their advantages and eliminate their unhealthy side-effects. Or in other words, we should further develop lottery games and exert proper supervision over them so that they can benefit us in a better way.)

My View on Plastic Surgery
　　The past few years have witnessed a mounting number of people undergoing plastic surgery. To this practice, people’s attitudes differ considerably. Some applaud it warmly whereas others criticize and even condemn it harshly. Personally, I am opposed to plastic surgery, and I base my position on the following reasons.
　　In the first place, I deem that physical appearances are always of less great importance than inner beauty and practical ability. In the second place, I am definitely opposed to the concept that there is an established norm of beauty. Instead, I hold that beauty, even in the physical sense, manifests itself in varied ways. Last but not least, as is well known, plastic surgery can be very dangerous, re
