审题思路

本题是一道问题解决/建议型的题目，一般建议型题目的写法是复述题干内容 ，直截了当提出自己的建议, 然后摆事实讲道理说明该建议有什么好处 ，最后把文章引入一个自然的总结段中即可。但是根据这个题目的题干，重点不是用理由来支持某个建议，而是详述该建议是什么，即分小点说明学校和学生应该分别做些什么。 范文赏析

On Dormitory Security

It is reported that recently in quite a few universities, dormitories on campus have been broken into and burglaries have happened every now and then. In fact, students have complained a lot that burglaries are like nightmares in their college years. I think it’s high time that both students and universities did something to reduce and eliminate this kind of crime.

引言部分：作者先说明有报道说最近寝室遭窃的现象很多，困扰着学生们，然后提出学生和学校都应采取措施。 On the one hand, there are some measures which universities can take. First, universities should have all the dormitory doors and windows checked, find out and repair the broken ones so that thieves cannot go in easily. Second, the number of university security staff should be

increased.Security personnel should patrol on campus and cross-questionany suspicious person. On the other hand, students should also do something to protect their belongings. First, when they leave their dormitories, they should keep doors and windows locked to keep outsneak10 thieves.Second, students should lock their valuables11 up in lockers12. In this way, they can reduce the risks of burglaries happening.

主体部分：作者分两方面来说，并在每方面下面又分了几个小点，这样一则可以丰富内容，二则使整篇文章逻辑清晰，衔接紧凑，成为一个完整的整体。

赏析+词汇分析

In one word, both students and universities should do something to reduce burglaries in

dormitories. And only in a safe dormitory can a student live and study happily.

总结部分：作者用in one word自然而然地对上文进行了总结，并进一步说明只有寝室安全才能让学生生活和学习得更开心。

关于结果方面：⑴ 对个人能力 、诚信等方面不利 ；⑵ 对他人不公平，造成恶劣影响 ；可以单说一项 ，也可以综合起来说 。

范文赏析

Academic Dishonesty on Campus

It is shown in the recent surveys that many college students copy papers from the Internet to save the trouble of doing their assignments . In my opinion, this kind of academic dishonesty is very harmful to these students.

引言部分 ：作者先提出有学生从网上抄文章以完成老师布置的任务，然后提出自己的观点：这种行为对学生是不利的。

First, copying papers from the Internet makes students lazy. Copying papers from the Internet seems easy and can save some time and trouble; seldom work hard to complete their papers on their own. In other words, students will become lazier and lazier. Second, students can learn little from copying others’ work. Students cannot improve their abilities just by downloading papers from the Internet without their own thinking and working. What’s worse, once students get used to academic cheating, they may also cheat in other cases in the future, which will be very dangerous for them, especially when it’s put down in the honesty record .

赏析+词汇分析

主体部分：作者在这里给出了三个理由：使学生变懒 ；学不到东西，破坏诚信。这里使用 了first，second，what s worse来连接这些理由。这里的一个亮点是近义词的使用，如 ：copy papers from the Internet ，academic dishonesty ，copy others work ，download papers from the internet，academic cheating 等都是表示学术舞弊行为。

Therefore, in order to prevent academic dishonesty on campus, some punishments by the school may be necessary. But the most important thing is that teachers should talk to those students, and make them aware of the fact that copying others’ work cannot bring them any knowledge and that only by working hard can they improve themselves.

总结部分：作者用therefore自然引入结论部分，提出自己的建议：需要惩罚，但更要教育。

亮点回放

1.save the trouble of doing sth.:“省去做某事的麻烦”；

2.assignment : “任务，被指定的（课外 ）作业” ；此处也可以用homework ，task等 ，但是assignment学术性更强些 ，在这里更恰当。

3.download :“下载”；这是常用的与网络相关的词语 ，常用 的还有upload ，copyand paste ，install ，uninstall等 。

4.inothercases: “在其他情况下” ；也可以用inothersituations ，onotheroccasions，under other circumstances等 。

5. be put down:“记下”；这里还可以用be written down ，be recorded等 。

6.honesty record: “诚信记录” ；也可以用integrity record来代替 。

7. talk to: 通常表示“和某人谈话” ，此处暗含着“教育某人”的意思 。

8.only by working hard can they improve themselves: “只有通过努力他们才能有所提高” 这里使用 的是部分倒装 的句式 。当only，hardly，scarcely，seldom等词放在句首时，通常要部分倒装。

1. 概述该现象，指出这样做有利有弊；

2. 具体说明好处在哪里，弊端在哪里；

范文赏析

The Bene ts and Dangers of Campus Politics

Campus politics has improved the quality of students’ life on campus and is playing an important role in college life. While we may advocate it because of the benefits, we cannot ignore its problems.

引言部分：作者先明确表明“校园政治”是大学生活非常重要的一部分，但在强调其带来的好处的同时，作者提醒不能忽视其带来的问题。

On the positive side , college students will grow mature and develop their abilities from

participation in campus politics. For one thing, by attending campus political activities, students will learn how to handle relationships with all sides in a more mature way, which will better prepare them for life after graduation. For another, they can develop their sense of responsibility as well as practical capabilities, especially management and coordination capacity, because the campus political activities provide students with a stage to show themselves and bring their abilities into full play.

赏析+词汇分析

On the negative side, campus politics might bring some problems. Too much participation in

campus politics might influence study. Besides, some students’ being keen on campus politics is for fame and gain, which is harmful to the healthy development of mentality . Therefore, schools and teachers should give necessary instructions to students on their participation in campus politics. 主体部分：作者先从积极面分析了参加校园竞选等活动带来的两大益处：使学生们变得成熟并增强了责任心和实际能力；接着又从消极面分析了参与“校园政治”可能带来的问题：对学习和身心健康发展的影响。针对这些问题，作者简单提出学校和老师应给予必要的指导。就写作手法而言，作者主要是进行逻辑论证，正反对比。全文长短句的运用非常恰当，主要是用短句点题，说明观点，用长句进行解释说明。

All in all, we cannot deny the bene ts campus politics brings to college students, but we should also be aware of the potential danger it may hold for them as well. With necessary guidance, campus politics can be a good stage for students to grow.

总结部分：作者用all in all自然而然地引入到了文章的结尾。作者先概述了上面提及的两个方面，然后重申了自己的观点：在恰当的指导下，校园政治是大学生成长的良好舞台。

亮点回放

1. campus politics: “校园政治” ；下文还使用了campus political activities来指 同一意思 。

2. advocate: “提倡，主张” ；此处也可以用support, back等替代。另外注意advocate也可以作名词使用 ，be an advocate for/of sth.是 ……的提倡者/支持者 。

3. on the positive side: “从积极面来说” ；也可以用from the positive perspective来代替 。

4. better prepare: 通常prepare的用法是be prepared for（为……做好 了准备 ），此处使用 了主动形式prepare sb. for sth. （让某人为某事做好 了准备 ）。better是well的比较级 ，所以此处表示 “使他们更好地为……做好准备”。

5. capability: “能力，性能” ，与下文 的capacity, ability为近义词 ，这些近义词 的使用使文章富有变化性 ，有亮点不单调 。

6. coordination: “协调” ；此处近义词有organization, regulation等 。

7. bring their abilities into full play : “使他们的能力充分发挥” ；此处的bring ... into full play是固定搭配 ，比简单使用fully display要正式。

8. being keen on: “渴望，爱好” ，比单纯地使用like要好，此处的sb. s being keen on整体用作主语，不过这里还可以使用enthusiasm，passion，zeal等，后面接for 。

9. mentality: “心理状态” ，此处还可以使用morality来代替。

10. instruction : “指导”；与下文的guidance为近义词，通常的用法是instruct sb. to do sth.或者instruct sb. on sth.。

11. deny: “否认，拒绝给予” ；搭配有deny sb. sth.（拒绝给予某人某物 ）。

12. be aware of: “意识到” ；近义词为be conscious of，realize等 。

审题思路

本题是一道典型的问题解决/建议型的题目，从题目到写作要求都明确说明文章要围绕如何提高学生的精神健康来写，通常可以从 以下几方面着手：

How to Improve Students’ Mental Health

Students’ mental health, an issue neglected for long, has now gained increasing public concern . As to how to improve it, heated discussions are right on their way. As far as I’m concerned, the university should set up a mental health workshop to improve students’ psychological health. It’s necessary for the following reasons.

Many students may find it hard to deal with pressure from study and personal relationships, and therefore pains, puzzles and frustration may arise . he workshop will be a place for the young people to release their pressure by talking it away8 with teachers there. In the meantime , teachers may have a chance to detect signs of psychological problems in advance and take precautious measures accordingly.

赏析+词汇分析

For another, students may know some ways to improve their mental health. If the experts of the workshop can give lectures on regular basis, those students suffering from mental disturbances will know what to do and face their problems bravely.

主体部分 ：作者以for one thing和for another 引出两个原因，而且用短句点题 ，用长句解释，长短结合，非常恰当。另外近义词的使用也给文章增加了变化性 ， 如mental ，illness ，disease，disturbance 等 。如果有三个或以上的原因，可以参考使用以下几组词 ：To begin with，then，furthermore finally；To start with，next，in addition，finally；First and foremost，besides，last but not least；Most important of all，moreover finally。

From the factors mentioned above, we may safely draw the conclusion that a mental health

workshop can play a vital role in students’ daily life and help to protect them from mental illness. 总结部分 ：作者用 from the factors mentioned above自然结尾，并再次重申自己的观点，与开头部分呼应。 亮点回放

1. neglect: “忽视”；近义词有ignore（有意忽视 ）和overlook ，此处an issue neglected for long用作插入语，起同位语的作用 。

2. public concern : “公众的关注” ；在表示 “引起普遍关注/重视”时 ，常用arouse/gain public/ popular concern这一词组 。

审题思路

其一 ，证书是学习能力的证明；

其二 ，证书是积极进取的证明；

其三 ，证书是兴趣广泛的证明。

Certi cation: A Way to Prove Oneself

For a growing number of Chinese people, the most productive thing to do with one’s spare time is to study for some kind of certification. From languages to business skills to teaching, certi cations act as proof of one’s interest, attitude and ability. More and more, a resume with degrees and work experiences looks a bit boring; certi cations are like accessories —they complete the out t. 引言部分：作者提出了考证热这个现象，并亮出观点：证书是一个人兴趣爱好 、学习态度和学习能力的证明，因此 ，概括了主体部分将重点论述的方面。

Certifications accomplish several purposes. First, they show employers that one is diversi ed. While one’s interest is not limited to only one major, he will win himself more chances of jobs than others, which is likely to result in a good-paying job and better employability. Besides,

certi cations indicate that the owner is proactive; he is not sitting around in his spare time. Instead, he is constantly looking to improve himself. This is what sets one applicant apart from the rest when applying for a sought-after position.

What’s more important is that the certifications prove that the person has great potential as he is good at study and has a good sense of balance. He has made an effort to learn more skills while keeping focused on his major or occupation.

Living in University Dormitories or Apartments in the Community?

I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life as juniors and seniors need the independence of off-campus life. Students’ needs change over four years, so should their housing .

引言部分 ：作者开门见山给出自己的观点：前两年住校后两年租房，并概述了原因——学生需求变化导致 ，表明下文将重点说明这种组合的原因.

Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. The freshmen and sophomores can interact more with other tudents, including not only your roommates, but everyone in the dormitory. Living in the dormitory also makes a student feel more a part of the university community. There are more opportunities for becoming involved in university activities and networking with students and university administration.

赏析+词汇分析

Living off-campus, however, is a de nite advantage for older students. Finding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord’s regulations, cooking meals, and guring out budgets are all good practice for life after graduation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood. Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them. Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students to nd out what other people think and feel.

主体部分 ：正文分为两部分，分别说明前两年为什么要住校和后两年出去住有什么好处 。采取的论证手法主要是列举原因和举例说明。

In summary, I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students.

总结部分 ：作者用in summary 连接上下文，再次说明这种组合对学生是最有利的。

亮点回放

1. on campus: “在大学校内” ；中间有连字符连接时（on-campus ）用作形容词，反义词为off-campus。

2. junior: “大三学生”；从大一到大四学生的说法分别是freshman，sophomore，junior，senior。

3. so should their housing:“他们的住房条件也应如此”；这里要注意so sb. do和so do sb.之间的区别，前者表示“某人确实如此”，后者表示“某人也是如此 ”。另外这里的housing通常只有单数形式 。

4. get oriented to:“以……为导向”；亦可以写作be oriented to/toward ，be involved in此处表示 “适应” ，近义词为be adapted to/be adjusted to。

5. interact:“与……互动”；常用搭配为interact with 。

6. network:常用作名词 ，表示“网络” ，此处用作动词 ，表示 “沟通” ，常与with搭配。该词的使用体现了作者较大的词汇量 。

7. administration:“管理” ，此处为 “管理部 门” ，与学校入学管理有关 的常用词还有

enrollment （招生 ），registration （注册 ）等 。

8. lease:“租约”；通常同学们会使用rent ，但lease在此处更贴切 。

9. landlord:“地主、房东” ；如为女房东 ，为landlady 。

10. figure out:“想出、算 出、解决” ；此处也可以用make out代替 。

11. perspective:“看法”；常用搭配为from one s perspective（从某人的角度看 ，即某人认为 ）。

12. in summary:“总而言之，概括来说” ；常用的总结词有in summary，to sum up，in conclusion，to draw a conclusion，in a word，in short，in brief等 。

范文赏析

Income Sources of College Students

According to the investigation, Chinese students rely much more on their parents for financial support than their American counterparts . As far as I’m concerned, there are many reasons behind the gap and it will change in the future.

引言部分：作者先概述了题目给出的内容，这点很重要，如果只是简单复述，会留下文字驾驭能力不足的印象。接着明确说明下文要写的内容：原因和未来的趋势 。

In my opinion, the main reason lies in the sense of independence. American students are taught to be independent when they are very young. For example, they will have to earn their own pocket money by helping with the house chores or doing part-time jobs since their childhood. On the contrary, Chinese students are taken such good are of that it is very difficult for them to live on eir own. In other words, American parents treat their children in college as responsible adults while Chinese parents will take it for granted that they should

赏析+词汇分析

help their children in all ways as long as the children need it. As a result, Chinese American peers do. What’s more, Chinese students have fewer opportunities to find part-time jobs. 主体部分：作者重点给出了一个独立性差异的原因，并进而引申说明父母观点的差异导致了孩子独立性的差异，这里除了运用对比以外还通过举例证明自己的观点。除此以外，作者另外说明中国学生找兼职的机会少，这也是造成这一差异的原因。

However, the gap will narrow gradually in the future. Nowadays more and more Chinese students are seeking part-time jobs as they’re eager to acquire some social skills and earn some money, which will help them to do more in school and to live independently. As to the American students, I think the sources of American students’ income will remain the same. 总结部分：这个结尾是属于预测性的，认为这种差异会慢慢缩小，并给出了原因。

亮点回放

1. rely: “依靠”，常用搭配为rely on sb. for sth. ，近义词为depend on sb. for sth.。

2. financial support: “财务支持” ；这里用的是一个比较正式的说法 ，非正式 的说法其实就是money 。

3. counterpart :“对手 、职位（地 位 ）相当的人 ”；这是个正式用词，其实就是指American students。

4. behind the gap: “在这差异背后”；实际上在这里这个词组是“解释这个差异”的意思。

5. lie in: “在于”；也可以用consist in来代替 。

6. pocket money: “零花钱”；此处也可以用allowance来代替 。

7. house chores: “家务活” ；也可以用family chores来代替 。

8. in other words: “换句话说” ，在这里其实起到了一个递进的作用 。

9. take it for granted: “想当然认为……” ；该词组 中的it是形式宾语 ，词组后面要接that从句 ，或者直接将宾语放在 中间 ，变成take ... for granted。

10. peer : “同辈” ；此处和上文 的counterpart为近义词 ，本文对 同一概念的词使用了不 同的表达方式 ，体现了作者 良好 的词汇驾驭能力 。

11. narrow: “变窄、缩短”常用作形容词 ，此处作动词用 ，常用搭配有 “narrow the gap”等。

12. acquire: “获得 、获取” ；通常搭配knowledge ，skill ，wealth ，information等 。

Getting Married in College

Since 2005 the ban was lifted by the Department of Education on college students’ getting married, it has been a hot topic for students, parents and educators and their attitudes differ sharply.

总结部分：作者经过衡量，选择持反对观点。这里使用的 weighing the arguments of both sides 呼应了前段第一条理由提及的“人权”或 “法定婚龄”，使结论显得更客观。
