How I Deal with Stress

In today’s increasingly competitive society, the tempo①of people’s living is

speeding up and more and more people are loaded with a growing amount of stress and tension. Everyone feels overwhelmed②and stressed in some way, as stress is an

unavoidable consequence of life. The moments when I was caught up in extreme stress and overwhelm are when I was experiencing great difficulties finding satisfactory jobs.

So what can we do when we feel overwhelmed and stressed about the things over

which we have little control? In my opinion, one way to work off③stress is to get

moving. When I am stressed, I just take a walk, after which I always feel calmer and

relaxed. Besides, I’ve learned to confide my stress s to④others, which does help a lot.

Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and encouragement. Last but not least, I try to get enough rest and eat well, both of which enable me to be

healthy enough and properly fueled to help me de-stress⑤.

As is mentioned above, like it or not, it is impossible for us to live completely free of stress. However, as long as we can come up with our own ways to cope with it, stress will not discourage us from living a pleasant life.

Nowadays, there is a widespread concern over the issue that should English majors study math. Some people hold that all of students should study math, others do not agree.

As for me, I agree with the later opinion. WIth university budgets cut, more and more universities choose to cancel math education. Providing math as part of education helps develop intelligence that leads to greater success in school and in life. Every student in the nation should have an education in math until they prepare to work. Universities should do everything they can to spread the importance of math. And advance the resort of math education as part of the core. Giving a student opportunity to study accounting can promote his or her later success in society. Reseachers have found that students involved in math likely to succeed in society.

Math is not only a skill, but also a culture in a word , non english majors study english in college is benefit to their life and future. They should study Math in college.

SECTION A

The advantages of being careful with money in daily life

Nowadays, there is a hot debate on whether people, including students should be careful with their money in their daily life since they try their best to save money. Some people think it is not good to do so because this may not make people smart consumers. But in my eyes, the advantages of being careful with money in daily life outweigh the disadvantages.

First, being careful with money is a virtue that can always benefit people. Being thrifty is of great help, especially when the economic status around the world is not very good and it becomes harder to earn money than before. A good habit of being careful with money will help many people go through this difficult period or any other difficult financial situation in their life. People with this awareness will think carefully before deciding to buy anything. For sudents, this awareness is also of great help since they mainly depend on their parents for financial supports. When they keep this awareness in their mind, they will definitely avoid wasting money.

Secondly, being careful with money is, in fact, a good way of practicsing how to manage one''s money. In current society, it is necessary to learn somthing about finance. But theories are usually hard to learn. In contrast, most people can learn quickly by practising. Being careful with money means an efficient use of money, which, in essence, equals to part of the job of a financial planner. Being careful with money can teach people to make best use of their money.

It is true that being too careful with money may have some disadvantages; for example, it may cause people to ignore other aspects of commodities. But overall this behavior is good and has its reality basis. Money-consciousness is always needed in the market-oriented economy.

2012年英语专四考试作文题目：端午节

The Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This festival is to

commemorate the death of QU Yuan, an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.

The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people's attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period, these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

Besides, the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice). Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.

With the changes of the times, the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the significance of the festival might be different with the past, it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage.

Should private car owners be taxed for pollution?私家车主是否应交污染税?

With the development of society, many people can afford a car. As the number of the cars is rising, we are facing some problems. One big problem is the pollution caused by the use of cars. In order to solve this problem, government agencies in

some big cit ies recently suggest that a “pollution tax” should be put on private cars in order to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint, and my reasons are as follows:

To begin with, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, a lot of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is the responsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose of collecting environmental pollution tax is to raise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue lever to protect our environment.

Secondly, it is a good way to raise people’s environmental awareness by putting a pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss when making a decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they will consider more when deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the private cars can be controlled.

In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private car owners, should try their best to protect the environment.

Saving Money is a Good Habit

(1) Recently the result of a survey conducted by a Beijing information company has shown that the majority of Chinese students think that saving money is a good habit while the rest prefer to use tomorrow’s money. (2) As is seen to me, the principle of “hard work and thrift” is still at work in China, and I absolutely believe that we will prof it more from saving money than from spending tomorrow’s money.

(3) Through saving money, we’ll be better prepared for our life. (4) There is an old saying that “a penny saved is a penny earned”. (5) In modern society, life is so changeable that we can’t predict what will happen in the future. (6) So we’d better get prepared for unexpected emergencies. (7) What’s more, psychologically speaking, saving money means controlling money rather than being controlled by money, and it enables us to be freer and mor e independent. (8) With the money we’ve saved, we don’t need to be too much concerned about the old age or the monthly installment that we owe to the bank.

Of course I don’t mean that we cannot loan money to buy a house or for some enjoyment. What I’m saying is that we must think twice before spending tomorrow’s money. (9) To put it in a nutshell, I’m a great believer that saving money is a good habit.

Part One:

(1) 用一项调查“a survey” 引入要讨论的问题。

(2)用“As is seen to me…” 清楚地表明了自己的观点。引用习语“hard work and thrift”使文章更具说服力。

Part Two:

(3)具体分析和解释了选择“saving money”的原因。

(4)此处引用“A penny saved is a penny earned”恰到好处。

(5) (6)从社会变化难以预测说明节约用钱的必要性。

(7)“What’s more”表达递进关系，使阐述的理由更充分。

(8)阐述了节约用钱的好处。

Part Three:

(13) “To put it in a nutshell”为语言亮点，意为“概括地说”。

The Benefits of Volunteering

Volunteering has grown into a fashion these years, with volunteers ranging from college students to white collar workers. It is reported now China has 4.5 million registered volunteers having provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. Why would so many people like to do volunteer work? Are there any benefits of volunteering?

The answer is absolutely yes. First of all, through volunteering we can gain more experiences. Whatever volunteering work we do, either being a volunteer teacher for a village school or a volunteer worker in a retired house, we can taste different lifestyles and broaden our horizon.

Secondly, through volunteering we can acquire the sense of being needed. Many people feel frustrated with travails in life and empty with the cycling of working and resting. They gradually become numb, losing the sense of being needed. By joining the volunteer group and offering help voluntarily to people who need it, we may feel happy and fulfilled again.

Thirdly, through volunteering we can learn more good qualities. Volunteer work is team work, which needs good cooperation. We can know people with different personalities and different background joining in the volunteer group and devoting to the volunteer work together. From our co - volunteers we can absorb many good qualities that could help us be better persons.

In conclusion, volunteering is of great benefit in that we can gain more experiences, acquire the sense of being needed and learn more good qualities

Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?

In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China. Many people believe that tourism produce positive effects on economic growth and we should try our best to promote tourism. But what these people fail to see is that tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on our environment. As for me, I'm firmly convinced that too much tourists bring harm to the environment.

The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itself in various ways. One way is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot. In order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on the environment. This process usually breaks the ecological balance of the area. In some mountainous places, trees are being cut down to build hotels for others to see and explore the beauty of the mountains. Then land slides and mud-rock flows come up. Another way the development of tourism has damaged the environment occurs when tourists go to scenic spots. Some tourists don't have the awareness to protect the environment, and ignorantly throw their garbage here and there. Some people even kill the local wildlife to eat, which badly damages the balance of the natural environment.

It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of tourism. We must keep in mind that too much tourists bring harm to the environment. We need to find a balance between satisfying the needs of tourists and reducing to a minimum the pollution they cause.

经典范文：

Should College Students Hire Cleaners?

According to a recent report, six university students hired cleaners to clean their dorm and do their laundry every week. Although we have no right to tell them what to do with their money, as a university student myself, I find this practice absurd.

For a start, away from our parents, it is in university that we learn to be independent adults. Cleaning the room and doing one’s laundry are the most basic living skills. If we always depend on others to take care of us, how can we survive when there is no one to help us? How can we take on any responsibility when we step into society?

For another, the practice reflects their flippant attitude towards money. The money they paid for the cleaners probably comes from their parents, who must be very depressed once they know the truth. It also sets a very bad precedent on campus. Other students may follow suit to show the wealth of their families; or worse, they tend to think money can buy them anything in this world, which obviously is wrong.

All in all, I think we must do away with this practice. Otherwise, we may never appreciate the good value of money and an independent way of life. The better and sooner we can take care of ourselves, the more proud our parents will be.

Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Term-time holidays will be banned Parents are to be banned by Michael Gove, UK’s Education secretary, from taking their children out of school to save money on holidays. He is t abolish the right of head teachers to “authorize absence” from the classroom, which has been used to let families take term-time breads, and will warn them they face fines for their children not being at school. “Any time out of school has the potential to damage a child’s education,” a senior source at the Department for Education said this weekend. “That is why the government will end the distinction between authorized and unauthorized absence.” “This is part of the government’s wider commitment to bring down truancy levels in our schools. There will also be stricter penalties for parents and schools.” The tough measures on truancy are part of a wider attempt by Mr. Gove to make education more academically rigorous and to tackle a culture in the educational establishment which he believes has accepted “excuses for failure”. Russell Hobby, the general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said the measure would discourage parents from trying to put pressure on heads to sanction term time holidays. “The high cost of holidays outside of term time is still an issue but ultimately a child’s education is more important than a holiday,” he said. Write your response on Answer Sheet Three.

专四作文样题 (2016年发布) 第一部分：原题 PART VI WRITING [45 MIN] Should we review traditional Chinese characters or continue using simplified characters? This has been an intensely discussed question for years. The following are the supporters' and opponents' opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Yes No Traditional characters, which date back to more than 2000 years ago, have a more beautiful appearance and a more reasonable structure. As indicated by the 親and 愛examples, traditional characters make more sense, convey traditional values and can therefore represent traditional culture. For two millennia, Chinese historical records and classic works were written in traditional characters. To be able to read them and inherit traditional cultures, we need to bring traditional characters back. Politically, it is also necessary to restore traditional Chinese characters. Currently, traditional characters are still in use in Hong Kong, Taiwan and many Chinese communities around the world. Restoring them can contribute to cross-Strait exchanges and national reunifications and unite Chinese people around the world. In today’s world, efficiency matters most. Traditional characters, which usually have more strokes than simplified ones, are more difficult to learn. By contrast, simplified characters are much easier to learn and use. Over the past 50 years, lots of classic texts have been turned into simplified-character versions, which means simplified characters can also promote and preserve traditional culture. Constant simplification has been a trend in the evolution of Chinese characters. From the oracle bones script of 3000 years ago to traditional characters, the Chinese writing system has always been slimming down for better communication.

We recycle our newspapers and bottles, we take public transport to get to work, we try to buy locally produced fruit and vegetables，and we want to take these attitudes on holiday with us. This is why alternative forms of tourism are becoming popular in the world. There are a lot of names for these new forms of tourism: responsible tourism, nature tourism, adventure tourism, educational tourism and more. Although everyone may have a different definition, most people agree that these new forms of tourism should do the following: first, they should conserve the wildlife and culture of the area; second, they should benefit the local people; third, they should make a profit without destroying natural resources; and finally they should provide an experience that tourists want to pay for. 2012专四听力参考答案

1990 – 2011 (TEM4WRITNG)历年英语专业四级作文真题及范文汇总 2011—COMPOSITION: Recently government agencies in some big cities have been studying the possibility of putting a "pollution tax" on private cars. The amount of tax private car owners would have to pay would depend on the emission levels, i.e. engine or vehicle size. This has caused quite a stir among the public. Some regard it as an effective way to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. But others don't think so. What is your opinion?Should Private Car Owners be Taxed for Pollution?(200 words) One possible version: Should Private Car Owners be Taxed for Pollution? With the development of society, many people can afford a car. As the number of the cars is rising, we are facing some problems. One big problem is the pollution caused by the use of cars. In order to solve the problem, government agencies in some big cities recently suggest that a “pollution tax” should be put on private cars to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint, and my reasons are as follows: Firstly, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, lots of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is the responsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose of collecting environmental pollution tax is to raise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue lever to protect our environment.Secondly, it is a good way to raise people’s environmental awareness by putting a pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss when making a decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they will consider more when deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the private cars can be controlled. In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private car owners, should try their best to protect the environment. NOTE-WRITING: During the summer vacation you would like to invite your best friend to your home town.Write a note to him/her, extending your invitation and telling him/her how to get to your hometown. (50-60 words ) One possible version: Dear my friend, The summer vacation is coming next month. I hope you will visit our home town and stay with us. It's beautiful here with everything in bloom now. If possible, you can come here by the train No. 1010, which will arrive here at 18:00.I am looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible. Sincerely yours, Sally 2010—COMPOSITION: It was recently reported in a newspaper that six students who shared a dorm at a university hired a cleaner to do laundry and cleaning once a week. And each of them paid her 60 yuan a month. This has led to a heated debate as to whether college students should hire cleaners. Should College Students Hire Cleaners?(200 words) One possible version: Should College Students Hire Cleaners? It’s a popular phenomenon nowadays that college students would hire cleaners to help do the laundry and clean their dormitories, which has sparked a heated debate among students, parents and teachers. In my point of view, such practice should not be encouraged on campus. To begin with, college students should have the capacity for the basic laundry and cleaning work. Doing family chores is a simple way to cultivate independence. If college students can’t even do the most basic things in their life, how c an they handle big challenges under pressure in the future? In addition, college students should feel shamed of disposing of their parents’ hard-earned money in this way. Since a large proportion of their living expenses and tuition are covered by their parents, hiring cleaners could be considered a waste of money. Finally, I do not agree with those who claim they hire cleaners for the sake of either study or saving time. This is a mere excuse for their sloth and overreliance. In summary, hiring cleaners should be discouraged on campus, where students are supposed to cultivate a sense of responsibility and independence rather than become lazy parasites. NOTE-WRITING: Your good friend, John, is thinking of organizing an end-of-the-term party. Write him a note telling him that you like his idea and offer to help him. You have to be specific about how you can help him.(50-60 words ) One possible version: Dear John,, As a close friend of you, I really love your idea of organizing an end-of-the-semester party. W hat a great idea! It’s my pleasure to give some help if necessary. Firstly, I would like to attend the celebration and share our joy. Secondly, I wish to hold a small musical soiree, at which a band of mine will perform some works by Bach and Strauss. Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Mike 2009—COMPOSITION: Tourism is a booming business in China. However, some people worry that too many tourists may bring harm to the environment, while others don't think so.
