一、对立观点型

范文 Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?
Nowadays, there is an increasing interest in visiting campuses of famous universities. Therefore, a hot debate arises over whether the university campus should be open to tourists.
Some people are in favor of the idea of opening it to the public. They believe that the atmosphere of famous universities can motivate student visitors to seek more knowledge. They also argue that as more tourists come to visit, these universities can make themselves known to more people. However, other people hold an opposite viewpoint. They consider that with tourists pouring into campuses, the beauty of the campus will be ruined. What’s more, they firmly point out that the normal teaching activities will be disturbed.
There is some truth in both arguments. But I think the advantages of opening them outweigh the disadvantage. In my opinion, university campuses should be open to tourists.
例: Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary? The first sentence has already been written for you. You should write at least 100 words and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:

范文 Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test. But as to the view of whether a test of spoken English is necessary, there are some controversies among people.
Many people hold that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China. In the first place, a test of spoken English will make college students become more aware of the importance of spoken English. In the second place, such a test will help them with their communication skills. Some people, however, take a different attitude. They consider it is unnecessary to hold this test. There are two reasons for this. One is that good reading and writing skills would be enough for the average English learners. The other is that college students are already under considerable pressure from their courses and another required test will only add to their burden.
As for me, I am undoubtedly for the test because the ability to speak English fluently is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others in a highly competitive society. So I believe that a test of spoken English will do more good then harm.
二、道理论证型
l 道理论证型论说文是对某一事物或现象进行分析和论证。它与对立观点型论说文的最大区别在于前者一般是就某一个明确的观点进行分析和论证,而后者针对两个对立的观点进行对比论证,由作者在最后表明自己的立场。
l 道理论证型论说文一般按下列框架展开:
l 第一段:开篇引出题目要求评论的观点,并给出不同看法;
l 第二段:详细阐述这些看法的立足理由及其优劣之处;
l 第三段:总结并给出自己的看法。
例: It Pays to Be Honest
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic It Pays to Be Honest. You should write at least 100 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:
1) 当前社会上存在许多不诚实的现象;
2) 诚实利人利己,做人应该诚实。

范文 It Pays to Be Honest
It is true that most of us value honesty highly. However, nowadays we often confront crises of confidence such as cheating, overcharging, fake commodities and so on.
I think that we should be honest. The reasons can be listed as follows. Firstly, only honest people can be truly respected by others over a long period of time. Secondly, honesty, as a traditional virtue of Chinese people, can make our life easier and more harmonious. For example, if fewer students cheated in exams, exams would be made much simpler. Thirdly, honesty can make our society more stable. A case in point is that Singapore, a society featuring trust and integrity, has a comparatively low crime rate.
It goes without saying that being honest is of great benefit to both the community and individuals. In conclusion, honesty should be encouraged in our society.
三、问题解决型
l 问题解决型论说文立意在“How”,以“方法”、“途径”、“怎么办”为文章的核心,主要遵循“提出问题——分析原因——提出解决办法”的模式。
l 最典型的问题解决型命题一般以“How”开头,如:How to Succeed in a Job Interview? ( 1月),How I Finance My College Education ( 1月)。另外,考生从给出提纲中出现的词“该怎么办”也能够推断其属于问题解决型。
问题解决型作文的一般框架是:
l 第一段:引言,对现状、形势或困难进行描述,提出问题;
l 第二段:途径与方法,列举做某事的途径或解决问题的各种方法;
l 第三段:评价或选择,对第二段中提及的途径和方法进行简要评价,或选取其中一、两种自己认为合适的,阐述其依据。
例: How to Succeed in a Job Interview?

第三段:In brief, . (总结全文)
范文 How to succeed in a Job Interview?
With the development of the job market, interviews play an important role in job-hunting. On the one hand, a job interview offers both interviewees and interviewers a chance to know each other within quite a short time. On the other hand, excellent performance in an interview will enable the interviewees to make a good impression upon the interviewer and finally get the job.
Therefore, how to succeed in job interview is worth paying attention to. Firstly, interviewees should have some knowledge about the company and the position they apply for. Secondly, interviewees should have self-confidence. For example, being too modest is not welcome to most human resources professionals. Thirdly, interviewees should dress neatly and properly. In this way, interviewees could show that they attach vital importance to the job.
In brief, if the interviewee takes the advice and makes better preparations, he is more likely to be employed.
例: How I Finance My College Education
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic How I Finance My College Education. You should write at least 100 words and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:
1) 上大学的费用(tuition and fees)能够经过多种途径解决;

第三段:In view of this, . (得出结论)
范文 How I Finance My College Education
Currently, tuition and fees for college students are much higher than ever before. Thus how to finance the college education has become a matter of concern. These following channels are possible for students to raise the money: receiving help from their parents, loaning from the bank or making money by part-time jobs.
As far as I am concerned, I get the majority of my tuition from my parents and the rest by taking part-time jobs in my spare time. On the one hand, my parents are well-off enough to afford my educational expenses. Moreover, my parents believe their financial support enables me to focus on my study. Anyway, their investment is rewarding in the long term. On the other hand, college life is the beginning of my new life after all, and working part-time opens my eyes to the society outside the campus.
In view of this, earning some money to pay for education with my own hands not only helps to relieve my parents of their financial burden but also broadens my view.
四、解释说明型
l 解释说明型论说文是对事物的发生、发展、结果、特征、状态、功能等进行介绍、阐述、解释的一种论说文类型。它的适用范围很广,无论是日常生活、工作学习或学术研究,人们都不可避免地要以各种方式来解释、说明、分析事物。
例: On Students Selecting Lectures( 6月)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of students selecting their lectures. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given in Chinese below:
1) 有些大学允许学生自由选择某些课程的任课老师;

On the other hand, .(另一方面)
第三段:Clearly, there are both advantages and disadvantages as to the view of this matter. (概述不同观点)
For one thing, .(一方面)
For another, . (另一方面)
In general, . (得出结论)
范文 On Students Choosing Lectures
Nowadays, there is a hot debate about whether students should be allowed to have optional choices of their teachers.
A number of factors contribute to students’ decision on choosing teachers. On the one hand, teacher’s personalities play a significant role in this issue, which include a good sense of humor, being easy to communicate with and open-minded. On the other hand, it is likely that opinions from other students have an impact on the decision.
Clearly, there are both advantages and disadvantages as to the view of this matter. For one thing, students enjoy more freedom than before. For another, some top teachers might be ignored if they are not able to meet students’ taste. In general, both students’ and teachers’ rights should be respected.
五、谚语型
l 谚语型论说文是指文章的题目或论点是一句谚语,要求考生针对该谚语阐述自己的理解,而且举例论证。
l 此类文章一般按下列框架展开:
l 第一段:对格言警句的理解,开门见山引出格言警句,并对其进行解释;
l 第二段:例证一,能够使用学习、生活中的事例来说明其寓意,若有必要,引用第二个例证进一步说明;
l 第三段:结束全文,总结句能够与文章主题呼应。

第三段:A lesson that we can draw from the above example is obvious. (启示)
Only through practice can one . (点题)
范文 Practice Makes Perfect
It is well-known to everyone that “Practice Makes perfect.” This self-evident proverb means doing something repeatedly is the only way to become expert on it.
Learning a foreign language like English is a case in point. You must practice listening, speaking, reading and writing so as to acquire the language. Otherwise, you will clean forget about it. Dancing is another example to prove the proverb. You may be amazed at a wonderful dance show. But if you know how much time dances have spent practicing it, you will not be surprised at the beauty any more. It is through practice that dancers become skillful at it.
A lesson that we can draw from the above examples is obvious. Only through repeated practice can one be good at doing things.
