2023年12月大学英语四级考试真题(第一套)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of the impact of the Internet on the way people communicate and then explain whether electronic communication can replace face-to-face contact. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
The modern technology has greatly altered the mode of communication among people. With the help of the Internet, people can easily contact each other anytime anywhere. However, the side effect is that many people have become over-dependent on the Internet and neglected face-to-face communication.
As far as I'm concerned, electronic communication cannot fully replace the direct contact among people. Although it seems to bring everyone together, it actually estranges people and decreases the effectiveness of communication. A typical example is that, traditionally, people working in the same office simply walk to others and talk. Today, however, co-workers tend to send e-mails or instant messages through the Internet even when they are sitting next to each other. As words can never convey the full message, it usually takes much more time and rounds of conversation than face-to-face communication, in which people can discuss more directly with less loss of information.
To conclude, the Internet enables more effective communication in some situations, but over-dependence on it actually pulls people apart.

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of the impact of the Internet on learning and then explain why education doesn't simply mean learning to obtain information. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
In the age of knowledge explosion, the Internet opens a magical portal for learners to get access to seemingly incessant information. But is information equal to knowledge? “Once I learn how to use Google, isn't that all the education I really need?” This question fully embodies the prejudiced opinion that as long as people acquire abundant information, they will get proper education.
The reason why education doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain information is that education is not limited to the hard facts or theories students can learn from their textbooks or the Internet. It relates to a wider scope ranging from the obtainment of practical skills to the development of characters, which are hard for students to learn simply by googling. Consequently, comprehensive learning in schools that includes learning knowledge, conducting experiments and communicating with peers is what true education is.
In a word, the Internet does provide valuable information for learners, but people should be fully conscious of the essence of education and learn to tell the right from the wrong.

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of the increasing use of mobile phones in people's life and then explain the consequences of overusing it. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
It is frequently observed that many people keep looking down at their mobile phones whatever they are doing. It is true that mobile phones have brought great convenience to us as we can send short messages, check e-mails, surf the Internet, or watch videos almost anywhere. However, the overuse of mobile phones also leads to some serious problems.
The over-dependence on mobile phones can harm the relationship among friends and family. With mobile phones, people do not talk as much as before. For example, sometimes at dinner tables, instead of chatting and laughing with each other, many people choose to chat with other friends online. In other words, mobile phones help people contacting friends far away more easily at the expense of reducing the communication with those who are sitting right next to them.
In conclusion, mobile phone can be a useful tool in modern life, but overusing it damages interpersonal relationship. There is no point to lose our intimacy with friends and family to modern technology.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the following question. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
Suppose a foreign friend of yours is coming to visit your hometown, what is the most interesting place you would like to take him/her to see and why?
假设你旳一位外国朋友来参观你旳家乡,你最感爱好旳地方想带他/她去看?为何?
If a foreign friend of mine is coming to my hometown Xiamen, the very place I would like to recommend is, definitely, Gulangyu. It is an island located in the southwest to the Xiamen Island. It is nearly impossible to find a tourist coming to Xiamen without spending a day or two in Gulangyu to enjoy its beauty.
Why would I consider Gulangyu a place of interest which one should never miss? Actually, there are several reasons accounting for it. Firstly, you can enjoy the view of the sea, the golden beaches, and also the magnificent landscape covered by all kinds of plants. That is why the island is called "a garden on the sea". Also, various cafés and restaurants providing local cuisines and snacks will amaze you for sure. What is more, you can learn about the history of the city and of arts after a trip to the historical sites and museums.
Personally, Gulangyu is my favorite place to go whenever I need to relax myself or have fun with friends. So I highly recommend this place to my dear foreign friend and I am sure he or she will fall in love with it at the first sight.

这个题目乍一看非常类似于2023年12月旳四级书信真题, 欢迎朋友来参观并且给出行程安排, 不过其实否则。据刚刚下战场旳同学们回忆,考旳文体规定仍然是课上反复强调旳“essay”,即常规议论阐明文体。虽然今年爆冷没有考察大纲样题中旳图画类型,不过这种常规旳议论文还是大家比很好掌控旳。
因此这个时候,大家与否应当静下心来构思文章旳三段落outline:
1. What is the place? A brief description.
2. Why do I recommend this place? Reason 1 2 3
3. Summary/Personal opinion
重点仍应放在课上强调旳重点段落-原因分析上,话题也许瞬息万变,不变旳是文章写作旳基本逻辑框架。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the following question. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
Suppose a foreign friend of yours is coming to visit your campus , what is the most interesting place you would like to take him/her to see and why?
假设你旳一位外国朋友来参观你旳校园,你最感爱好旳地方想带他/她去看?为何?
If I'm the guide of my foreign friend's visit to our campus, I will choose the Cherry Avenue as our first destination.
As the name implies, the Cherry Avenue is lined with hundreds of neatly-placed cherry blossom trees. It is about 200 meters long and a major scenic spot in our campus. In spring when the cherry trees bloom, the flowers are so dense that looking from a distance, it seems as if the road were surrounded by pink-hued clouds. Especially when there is a breeze, petals of cherry blossoms flutter and fall gently like a drizzle. Such breath-taking scene will put visitors into a kind of trance.
What's more special is the buildings along the avenue. Built in early 1900s, they are now called "cherry blossom castle". They've witnessed the history of our school and even our country. You can learn a lot about our school there.
In a word, a tour to the Cherry Avenue is both an amazing sight-seeing and a great opportunity to know about the culture of our school.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay about a course that has impressed you most in college. You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
The Most Impressive Course My College
When talking about the course which impresses me the most, I will certainly choose Basic Chemical Experiment. As a student of science, I am always fascinated with the magic in test tubes, and from this course I gained more than pure knowledge.
To begin with, this course provides us opportunities to put theories into practices. The experiments helped us testify and better understand what we have learned in books. Besides, by designing experimental procedures of own, we became more flexible and innovative.
Moreover, I also developed other skills that required outside labs through this course. For example, to be focused and careful when proceeding a task, to be patient and calm when facing failures, and to communicate properly when you need someone else to cooperate. These can be very valuable assets to your life.
Basic Chemical Experiment influenced me not only on academic field but also on daily affairs; therefore it’s the most impressing course to me.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay about a campus activity that has benefited you most. You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
The Most Impressive Campus Activity
As a college student, it is full of meaning to participate in various camps which are beneficial for us. Among the camps I involved before, the English Summer camp held by our university with a small group of Chinese college students as well as some friends from English Spoken countries made me the most impressive。
There are two factors for my belief. For one thing, I expanded my scope of knowledge for the lecture made by a professor of the Harvard University. Though I have been learning English for almost ten years, getting knowledge from foreign teachers can still be something inspiring. I really want to know about current English countries’ culture, such as education, economy, politics and so on. In this way I could know more about the world and it would help me make right decisions when I graduate from university whether going abroad for further study or not. And it would also help me understand more about our own country. The second reason for me is that the activities also changed me a lot, including English corner, English drama play, interesting knowledge competition and the like. Undisputedly, all these activities can not only help us learn more skills but improve our English。
In conclusion, it was my great pleasure to take part in this activity. I do believe that other kinds of outdoor activities would bring us a lot of advantages, so I would make effort to participate in such activities in the remaining years of my college study.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start you essay with a brief description of the picture and then comment on the kid’s understanding of going to school. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
It is subtly revealed in the portrayal that a young boy is talking with his mother in their house. The boy asks confusingly, “Why am I going to school if my phone already knows everything?”
We often hear of successful people who are largely “self-taught”. I say largely because, in all cases, they have received some formal teaching, whether it was from a teacher in a classroom, or from parents or a relative at home. In my case, I am glad I always learned from teachers, from fist grade all the way through my Master’s degree. A good teacher adds considerably to the materials contained in the textbooks.
In conclusion, it takes a great deal of self-discipline to learn a subject via mobile phones with only self-study, having no guidance or instruction from a tea
