2019年12月的大學英語四級考試的三道作文題目要求考生給外國朋友寫一封信,本題要求向外國朋友推薦一所學習漢語的大學。書信體作文首先講究格式正確,大學英語四、六級考試的書信不用寫信內(nèi)地址和日期,從稱呼開始寫起即可。由于這是一封寫給朋友的私人信函,可以直呼其名。比如,我們假設這位朋友的名字叫Andy,稱呼就可以寫Dear Andy。
書信的正文一般寫三段。第一段先略微寒暄一下,如很高興收到對方的來信等,接著交代寫這封信的目的——要向?qū)Ψ酵扑]一所學習漢語的大學。第二段先向朋友推薦一所大學——北京語言文化大學,然后陳述推薦的理由。為了使這篇作文的字數(shù)達到規(guī)定要求,我們要把推薦的理由略作展開。第一,北京語言文化大學是國內(nèi)唯一的一所專門向外國學生提供中國語言和文化課程的大學。該校師資力量雄厚,具有幾十年的教外國學生學漢語的經(jīng)驗。第二,在這所大學里可以遇見來自世界各國的學習漢語的同學,你可以和他們一起切磋。第三段是一些客套話,如希望朋友覺得自己的推薦有用,希望早日收到回信,期待早日見面等。
正文下面是署名。署名一般寫在信紙的中間偏右的位置,分兩行書寫,上下對齊。由于這是一封寫給朋友的信,上一行可寫Yours truly(或Truly yours),假設你叫李明,下一行寫Li Ming。下面請看參考范文:

Id like to recommend Beijing Language and Culture University to you.

It boasts the most qualified faculty, who have decades of experience in teaching international students Chinese. Another advantage of studying at this university is that you can meet schoolfellows from all over the world. Isnt it exciting to often compare notes with school friends from around the globe?
I hope you will find my advice useful. Please write to me soon and tell me about your decision. I am looking forward to seeing you.

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of having a sense of family responsibility. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
2019年12月的大學英語六級考試的三道作文試題考查議論文的寫作。本題要求考生論述具有家庭責任感的重要性。雖然家庭是具體的,但家庭責任感是抽象的,所以本文宜用定義法開頭,即首先解釋一下何為家庭責任感。
我們不妨沿著“是什么―為什么―怎么樣”的邏輯順序來安排這篇作文的三個段落。第一段通俗地解釋什么是家庭責任感,并指出其對于家庭幸福至關(guān)重要,此為破題。第二段論述具有家庭責任感的重要性。我們不妨從家長的角度論述具有家庭責任感的重要意義。首先,一個父親具有家庭責任感才會努力工作,確保孩子衣食無憂并接受良好的教育;一個有家庭責任感的父親才會在感情上關(guān)心孩子,幫助孩子應對世界。同理,一個母親具有家庭責任感才會全力以赴地照顧和培養(yǎng)孩子,讓他們成長為成熟的人。第三段總結(jié)全文,先指出家長具有家庭責任感能夠使家庭更幸福并向孩子灌輸正確的價值觀,進而有助于社會的穩(wěn)定和繁榮。最后建議開展一場全國性的宣傳活動,提倡家庭責任感。下面請看參考范文:
A sense of family responsibility refers to an awareness of ones obligations towards other members of his or her family. We can say without exaggeration that it is essential to making home a happy place.
A loving and happy family does not happen automatically. The recipe lies in a strong sense of family responsibility. For example, a father who holds his family dear will work hard to make sure his children have the necessary food, housing, clothing, and a decent education. He will always be emotionally available, providing his growing children with guidance to help them navigate the world. Similarly, a mother who cherishes her family will do everything in her power to care for her children and cultivate in her children positive attitudes, which will help them develop into mature adults.
A sense of family responsibility not only increases family happiness but instills the right values in children, which in turn contribute to social stability and prosperity. It is therefore advised that a nationwide campaign be launched to promote a sense of family responsibility. (177 words)
