六级将近，想要些范文来加强自己的语感，争取写出更优秀的作文，拿更高的分数。个人以为，专家亦言，四六级，作文很重要!

Dear Xie, June 19, 2004

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 idea of attending overseas schools appeals much to an army of Chinese students. Needless to say, there are a host 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 local custom, 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

Dear Huang, June 19, 2004




You have asked me for my advice concerning whether you should find a decent job or pursue graduate study after graduation, and I will try to make some useful suggestions.

It is really a dilemma for all of us when faced with such alternatives. True, attending graduate schools has become a trend in recent years. Enrollment in graduate schools exploded in recent years. People have a growing respect for graduate study. I would recommend that you further your study. I am fully convinced that you have every reason to make this decision in such an era where knowledge is expanding at an incredible speed and the demands for us to enrich both our knowledge and survival skills in this highly competitive society are becoming increasingly urgent. There is no doubt that you could sharpen your competitive edge by making this sensible choice. Keep on learning and you will never regret.

With best wishes!

Sincerely yours

Frank

找工作的时候选择兴趣还是工资高
Salary or Interest
Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice. It is truly a tough choice. Students' opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that priority should be given to their interest in jobs, but others take the attitude that salary is the most critical factor influencing their career choices.

As to myself, I prefer the latter 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 view, our career choices largely depend 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 over the past four years. As the only son in my family, I have to shoulder the burden of supporting my family.
In short, salary is the first and only consideration in my choice of career.

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.

Advantages and Disadvantages of the Mobile Phone

With the rapid economic development, the mobile phone has found its way into 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 facilitates 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 hunting for 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, everything has both positive and negative facets. 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.
