Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a student of our university, who often spend my spare time in our library. Generally speaking, our library provides quite good service. However, I still have some suggestions for you to upgrade the quality of your service.
To begin with, I would like you to prolong the open time. In the daytime, most students are having classes. To continue, some books are too old/ are out of date. It would be better if you could replace them with updated materials.
I sincerely hope to have a comfortable library. And I would be highly grateful if you could take my suggestions into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

【参考模板范文】
The Impact of Air Pollution
The cartoon vividly reveals the phenomenon of air pollution or the decline of air quality. In the cartoon we can see the air pollution is so serious that the earth can't bear it.
What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Possible reasons can be listed as follows: firstly, vehicle exhaust gases could be one of the most leading causes. With the improvement of economy and people's living standard, urban inhabitants in mounting numbers own their private cars. More automobiles will inevitably generate more exhaust gases. Additionally, household appliances widely used in cities also release a great amount of carbon dioxide gases, which further intensifies air pollution. Last but not least, many factories around the cities emit large quantities of untreated poisonous gases, which should also be responsible for the decline of air quality.
Definitely, air pollution will exert a detrimental impact on many aspects of people's life. For example, many diseases such as cough, skin problem and lung cancer are caused by it. Perhaps it is high time that we should adopt some measures to solve the problem of air pollution.
英语漫画作文写作指导
第一、读图审题
四级漫画作文中的漫画通常反映一个社会现象或生活哲理,要求考生根据自己对漫画的理解来写作。因此,要写好四级漫画作文,审题格外重要。考生在下笔之前要仔细看漫画,弄清漫画的寓意,这是文章切题的保证。此外,在本次四级考试的三道写作题中,Directions部分都给出了写作内容的大致方向,这也为考生把握漫画寓意提供了帮助。下面笔者就来逐一梳理2013年6月四级作文的三幅漫画及其传达的寓意。
第二、谋篇布局
在把握文章的主旨之后,考生就可以构思整篇文章的架构了。四级漫画作文的写作可以分为下面三个段落。
第一段:开门见山,简要描述一下漫画内容,并指出漫画的寓意。描述漫画内容是为了揭示其中的寓意,是手段而不是目的,所以描述要简洁明快,一般来说一句话足矣。需要提醒考生的是,写作的Directions部分虽然给出了大致的写作主题,但是也要求考生对漫画进行简要描述,因此考生切不可抛开漫画内容直接展开议论。
第二段:表达考生对漫画寓意的看法,这是文章的重心所在。比如,就第一道写作题目而言,考生应在第二段阐述阅读文学作品的重要性;就第二道写作题目而言,考生应在第二段论述为什么凡事必须从小事做起;就第三道写作题目而言,考生应在第二段论述掌握基本技能的重要性。
第三段:指出漫画的寓意对大学生的教育意义,或者提出解决问题的建议。考生需要注意的是,结尾段一般并不需要实质性的分析,其主要作用是总结和升华,使文章结构完整。所以结尾段的写作要简明扼要,点到即止。
第三、论证方法
漫画作文的'第二段要表达考生对漫画寓意的看法,这是文章的核心段落,也是作文字数达到要求的关键。因此,考生在这一段要浓墨重彩,写深、写透。在写这一段时,考生要尽量摆事实、讲道理,避免空泛的议论。针对这一核心段落,笔者在此推荐以下三种展开议论的常用方法,希望对考生有所启发。
1.条分缕析
在写作第二段时,考生可以从2~3个方面对观点展开论述,这种写法可使文章显得层次清楚、条理清晰。例如,本次四级作文第一道题目的第二段需要阐述阅读文学作品的重要性,考生就可以从以下两个方面展开:第一,相对于电子媒体,文学阅读更能培养人的想象力;第二,阅读文学作品能够帮助我们更好地了解社会。请参考下面的范文。
There wasa time when children could relish (欣赏/ 也可以使用appreciate 替换 literature. But childrentoday can enjoy the sounds and action on a TV or computer screen. “So why bother reading?” some ask. The reasonis obvious: It enriches our imagination. When we read apiece of literature, we are living the life of RobinHood or starting an adventure with Tom Sawyer. In addition, literature is the mirror of society,whether it be poetry, drama or fiction. We know thesociety better through literature.
2.举例论证
如果漫画所传达的是抽象的人生哲理,那么考生在论述时最好能举出具体的事例,尽量避免空洞的说教。比如,就本次四级作文第二道题目而言,考生可以在第二段中举出一些成功人士如何从小事做起的例子。笔者下面提供的范文中用到的是哈兰·桑德斯上校从一个小吃店做起,最后缔造出遍布全球的肯德基快餐帝国的例子,用以证明只有从小事做起,才能成就大事。请看下面的范文。
Everything is smallbefore it is big. A good example is KFC. In 1930 Colonel Harland Sanders beganserving food to his service station customers in Corbin, a city in Kentucky. He fried chicken in his own kitchen andperfected his secret recipe there. From the small roadside eatery, he went on to build an empire of fast food.
3.类比论证
如果漫画中的寓意不容易通过具体的事例来证明,那么考生还可以使用类比论证的方法,即通过打比方来论证一个抽象的道理。比如,对于本次四级作文的第三道题目,考生可以在第二段中用学习打篮球的过程来打比方。学习打篮球时,只有先学会了投球、运球、传球这些基本技能,才能进一步学习高难度的技能。以此类推,无论做任何事情,只有掌握了基本的技能,才可能取得更大的成功。此外,考生还可以举出统计数字,用具体的研究结果来证明论点。请看下面的范文。
Simple as they mayseem, basic skills serve as the first link in the chain of success. Thisis analogous to learning to play basketball. If shooting, dribbling and passing are not mastered,learning advanced skills will become difficult, if notimpossible. A growing body of research has also documented that such basicskills as reading, writing and computing are highlycorrelated with success later in life. A 2012 study surveyed 300 CEOs ofFortune 500 companies and found that 87% attributed part of their success tothe basic skills they learned in primary school.
他,怀着对生命的尊重和敬畏之情,五十余年深入到昆虫世界中,用毕生的精力对昆虫进行超多的观察和实验,真实、细微、详实地记录了昆虫的本能特性,用第一手资料将纷繁复杂的昆虫世界真实而形象地展此刻世人面前。他,就是法布尔,一位把自己的一生都扑在昆虫研究上的“疯子”。有人称他为“昆虫世界的维吉尔”有人说他是“昆虫的荷马”,但我觉得他是我们人生的老师,人生的楷模,他的种.种伟大的科学精神值得我们去学习,去传承,去发扬。
我们要学习他的献身科学一丝不苟。法布尔为了探求毛虫使人痒痛的毒素存在的位置,推翻大多数人所认为的在表皮上的这种说法,不惜把自己作为实验品。他从外面捉回来了几只毛虫,从他们的液中取下了几滴,滴在了一张吸墨纸上,然后再用一根不透水的绷带将这一小片纸固定在了他的手臂上。深夜,一阵剧烈的疼痛使他从睡梦中惊醒,他既高兴又兴奋,因为他证明了自己的推论是正确的,他又继续推测,液中的毒素是哪里来的呢会不会是在尿素中的呢为此,他又进行了一次实验,他从毛虫中的粪便中将尿素提炼、浓缩成几小滴,又像原先一样滴在吸墨纸上,再用绷带固定在手臂上2个小时,晚上奇痒难熬,但他很高兴,因为他最后用实验证明了自己的猜测是正确的,但是,他为此也付出了惨痛的代价,他的手臂上出现了溃疡,又痒又疼整晚不能安睡,之后,为了晚上能安睡一会儿,不得不在伤口处敷上了凡士林。第三天,肿痛得更加厉害,并延伸到了一大块肌肉里面,用手指轻轻敲一下,就颤动,不久,又有超多的夜体像小水滴一样渗出,瘙痒在不断增加。五天之内,伤口处的皮已经完全掉了,露出了里面鲜红的肌肉,以至于早晚两次为他换药的人都恶心得要吐。这一大片的伤口直到四五个月后才完全恢复了正常。
我们要学习他对待科学严谨认真。在《昆虫记》中,他利用许多实验证明了他一个又一个的猜想和推论,但与此同时,也出现了许许多多很难甚至不能解决的疑难问题,应对这些问题,他没有随便将自己的猜想、推论变为这些问题的答案,写入书中,而是坦诚的告诉读者这些问题他也没弄清楚,依然要去探讨答案,应对科学,他总是一个勤奋学习、刻苦钻研的学习者。
法布尔是法国著名的科学家,科普学家。今天,我怀着无比兴奋的心情,读了法布尔的著作《昆虫记》,《昆虫记》是用散文的形式写的自然科学著作,详细记录了昆虫的生活习性和繁种族而进行的斗争,读起来回味无穷,那字里行间在我脑海中久久不能忘记。
法布尔能取得如此巨大的成功,并不容易,他出生农民家庭,从小就生活贫困,可这并未有挡住法布尔前进的脚步,他靠自学先后取得了多个学位,法布尔一生最大的兴趣,就是爱探索生命世界的奥秘与真面目,他几乎把所有的时间都有在了观察昆虫上,他揭开了昆虫世界的一个有一个谜底,给后世做出了巨大的贡献,因此,法布尔也被誉为“昆虫诗人”。
当深入读《昆虫记》时,《昆虫记》中那详细描绘了昆虫的生活,如蟋蟀如何建巢等等,这是我感到了探索生命世界的乐趣,更明白了无论做什么事都要像法布尔一样坚持不懈,即使在艰苦,也要为了自己的理想而不断奋斗。

The Role of Mobile Phone in People's Communication
The popularity of smartphones has exerted great influence on the way people communicate, so much so that an increasing number of individuals contend that face-to-face communication is being replaced by texts and images on the mobile phone.
There are more than one angle to consider this phenomenon. On one hand, it is pleasantly acknowledged that smartphones shorten the distance between families and friends. Even people from different sides of the globe can share pictures, feelings and thoughts through various types of apps on the phone, thus building a long-distance connection. On the other hand, as the picture warns us, too much smartphone addiction interferes with people's real-life communication. Statistics show that over 70 percent of face-to-face communication consists of facial expressions and body language, which is why people should stay away from mobile phones when they have the chance to actually talk and communicate with others.
In a word, mobile phones act as an appropriate platform where people can always stay in tough however long the distance is, but a wise man should know when to put down his phone.
To Whom It May Concern,
I am a student in this university who regularly comes to the library to spend my spare time. Generally speaking, the services you offer here is quite good; however, I have some suggestions for you to adopt.
To begin with, will you please prolong the time for reading? In the daytime, most of the students are having class, so they can’t come to the library. Moreover, some of the books on shelves are out of date. If you are so kind as to provide us some books such as the latest magazines, we will be greatly honored.
I really wish to have a more comfortable library. I would like to extend my greatest appreciation if you are so kind to take my suggestions into consideration. /Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
