TEM4 Writing Rehearsal
?Because of the demands in the job market, students with "hot" degrees such as computer science or finance are more likely to get a job than students with a "cold" degree like geography. Some people say that universities should give priority to practical courses for students. But I think traditional courses are equally important and universities should not give priority to practical courses.
?First, both practical and traditional courses are needed in our country. Students who do well in different courses can help to develop different aspects of our country after their graduation. For example, our society needs not only people who can help to develop economy and technology, but also people who can contribute themselves to literature and education. Second, if universities give priority to practical courses, more students will choose those "hot" degrees. When these students graduate, they will have to fight harder for a job because there will be too many applicants with the same degrees. This will in turn cause an imbalance of supply and demand in the job market.
?In one word, both practical courses and traditional courses are important, and universities should not give priority to either side.
?April 12, 2011 ?Dear Jimmy,
?Thanks a lot for trusting me and asking me to be your Chinese tutor! But as you know, I am a senior student and must finish a lot of courses and papers this term. I am so busy with my courses and papers that I cannot help you. I am sorry for that. I can recommend you a good Chinese tutor if you need.

?Every now and then we hear news about poisonous food, such as tainted milk powder, illegal food additives, and illegal cooking oil, which pose great danger to people's health. Give your idea of cracking down on poisonous food.
?Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:
?My Idea of Cracking down on Poisonous Food
?You are to write in three parts.
?Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE a note of about 50-60 words based on the following situation:
?You need to have your dorm light repaired, and you told the dorm keeper several times. But nobody comes to repair the light for you by now. Write a note to school administration office to complain for that.
?Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness.
?My Idea of Cracking down on Poisonous Food
?Recently there is a lot of news about poisonous food, such as tainted milk powder, illegal food additives, and illegal cooking oil, which do great harm to people's health. The news has aroused much panic among people, and it's high time that we took measures to crack down on poisonous food.
?To crack down on poisonous food, I have some ideas to offer. First, the government should make strict laws to forbid the making of poisonous food. Manufacturers who are caught making these kinds of food should be punished severely, and factories in which these kinds of food are produced should be closed down. Second, food manufacturers must be well informed that they should produce safe food as food safety is their first priority in business. Third, people should be more cautious. When buying food, consumers should remember that natural food is usually safer, better and cheaper than artificial food. And if consumers find that some brands of food may be poisonous, they need to complain to the related department without hesitation.
?In one word, only when both the government and citizens take some measures can poisonous food be cracked down on.
?April 12, 2010 ?Dear Sirs of school administration office,
?I am sorry that I have some complaints to make. My dorm light has gone wrong since last Monday, and I have told the dorm keeper several times. However, nobody has come to repair the light by now. It's so inconvenient that I have to study in my classmates' dorm every night. Would you please arrange someone to repair the light for me?
?Many people today use electronic dictionaries instead of printed ones. Some people worry that printed dictionaries may disappear one day. What do you think about this?
?Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:
?Will Electronic Dictionaries Kill Printed Dictionaries?
?You are to write in three parts: In the first part, state specifically what your view is. In the second part, support your view …
?Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE a note of about 50-60 words based on the following situation:
?You just heard that your friend Danny has gained admission to Tsinghua University as a graduate student. Write a note to him, offering him your sincere congratulations.
?Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness.
?
?Will Electronic Dictionaries Kill Printed Dictionaries?
?Many people today prefer to use electronic dictionaries rather than printed ones, because electronic dictionaries are much lighter and smaller and easier to be taken everywhere. Some people worry that printed dictionaries may disappear one day. But I believe electronic dictionaries will not kill printed ones.
?First, printed dictionaries are much cheaper than electronic ones. Many students, who use dictionaries most often, can hardly afford an expensive electronic dictionary. Therefore, the printed ones are exactly what they need. Second, conservative users, for instance, scholars and teachers, still prefer printed dictionaries to electronic ones. Consulting a thick paper dictionary is what teachers used to do, and they will like to keep this habit. They also like to underline the important information in a printed dictionary. Third, only the printed dictionaries can be collected into libraries or be put on our private bookshelves. We may use an electronic dictionary very often, but we will never collect it, since it's designed to be used, not to be collected.
?Surely electronic dictionaries will be more popular in the future, because they are really convenient. But the printed ones are still needed and will not be completely replaced. The two kinds of dictionaries are just complementary to each other.
?April 12, 2010 ?Dear Danny,
?How happy I am to hear that you had gained admission to Tsinghua University as a graduate student! I know it's your dream to go to Tsinghua University for further study. You are always studying so hard that I believe your dream will come true one day. Congratulations to you!

?Write a composition of about 200 words.
?You are to write in three parts. In the first part, state specifically what your view is. In the second part, support your view with appropriate details. In the last part, ...
?You should supply an appropriate title for your composition.

?Last Saturday you went to Mike's home as a house guest. Write him
a note to thank him and his family.
?Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness.
?My Advice to the Undergraduates
?Because of the severe competition in the job market, it's quite difficult to get a decent job for a college graduate. Many college students complain that graduation means the coming of unemployment. To avoid this dilemma, I have some advice to offer to the undergraduates.
?To avoid unemployment after graduation, the undergraduates have to prepare themselves for the job-hunting long before their graduation. First, they should study as hard as they can. Surely an applicant with higher marks in his resume will be more likely to get an ideal job. And a hard-working student can acquire more knowledge and pass interviews easily. Second, they had better get a part-time job which is related to the job they want to get in the future. Many college students like to find
part-time jobs, but most of them do this only for pocket money. Can this part-time job be written into their resume as a related job experience? Can this part-time job bring them new friends who are doing the very kind of job they want to do after graduation? They had better think it over and make full use of their part-time job.
?If the undergraduates prepare themselves well for the job-hunting, they will have more chances to find a good job after graduation.
?April 12, 2010 ?Dear Mike,
?What a happy day I have had last Saturday in your home! You and your family were most kind to me and gave me such warm welcome. The food made by your mother was so delicious that I can hardly forget it. Thank you so much for having invited me! And please remember me to your family!
?Yours,

?It is reported that mental health has become a troublesome issue. The number of people committing suicide is on the rise. You are required to analyze this phenomenon and contribute some suggestions on how to keep psychologically healthy.
?Write a composition on the following topic: How to Keep Psychologically Healthy?
?You are to write in three parts. In the first part, state specifically what your view is. In the second part, elaborate on your idea…
?Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE a note of about 50-60 words based on the following situation:
?You just failed in you final exam of Computer and must take a makeup exam a week later. You know that your classmate Mary is good at it.
?Write her a note to ask for help.
?Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness.
?How to Keep Psychologically Healthy?
?Nowadays more and more people are concerned about the issue of mental health. It is reported that the number of people committing suicide is on the rise. Many of them committed suicide just because of some trivial things such as failing an exam. If they had paid more attention to their mental health, they might not have reacted in such an extreme way. Then, how to keep ourselves psychologically healthy? I have some advice to offer.
?First, we should adjust ourselves to new conditions. When we go to a university as freshmen, or go to work in a new city, we may become nervous because everything is so unfamiliar. The only way out is to adapt to the new conditions and shake off the anxiety quickly. Second, we should know ourselves well and admit that we are just ordinary people. Knowing that ordinary people may not be good at everything, we can easily accept some failures in our lives. Third, we should try to share our feelings with friends or relatives. By doing this, we are assured that any difficulty can be solved since we are not alone.
?It is vitally important for us to be psychologically healthy, and the above suggestions may contribute to our mental health.
?April12, 2010 ?Dear Mary,
?I am so sorry to tell you that I just failed in my final Computer exam. What a shame it is! Next week I must take a makeup exam, but I am afraid that I cannot make it. I know you do well in Computer and have got
a high score in the final exam. Would you please give me some help?
?Yours, Lily

1月全国自考英语写作基础试题及答案解析
全国2018年1月高等教育自学考试 英语写作基础试题 课程代码：00597 I. Correct the errors in the following sentences.(改写病句)10% Example: After seeing an offensive mouthwash ad on television .I resolved never to buy that brand again. After seeing an offensive mouthwash ad on television, I resolved never to buy that brand again. 1.Those berries are poisonous don’t eat them. 2.Our city’s buildings are not as modern as your city. 3.To get ready for the trip, all the things she needed were put into a suitcase. 4.He told me that Mary had returned home for a week. 5.I read the book on the bus which did not interest me at all. II. Read the following passages and identify the topic sentence in each by underlining it.(阅读以下每段文章，然后在每段文章的主题句下划线。)20% 1. The biggest problem in ancient DNA reserch is getting the DNA in the first place. The favorite material to work with is bone, and a small chunk of it is best. Cells can lie inside the hard bone structure waiting to be liberated after the calcium has been dissolved away. That’s the easy bit. Getting the DNA out, what little of it that remains is horrendously difficult and many teams have succumbed to pitfalls in the past. The rule is that it has to be done in a clean room better than used to assemble spacecraft to go into deep space, and it has to be done away from any other source of potentially contaminating DNA. 2. Names usually have origins, especially for Indians. Indians with distinctive physical characteristics, might be given names such as Big Foot or Crooked Leg. If there had been a big storm on the day of a baby’s birth, the baby might have been named Thundercloud. Grey Eagle, Red-Dog, Big Bear, and Spotted Wolf are examples of Indian names after animals. 3. Many TV commercials imply that a woman’s self-esteem depends on her cleaning ability. In one commercial, we see a woman terribly upset because her guests find spots on her glassware. Countless other commercials blur out the message that a woman will pass muster as a person if her kitchen floor gleams and her toilet bowl is blue. This idiocy must work, because the images of women scrubbing, moping, waxing and smiling keep on coming over the air. 4. As human beings, we are constantly in the stage of change. Our bodies change everyday. Our attitudes are constantly evolving. Something we swore by five years ago is now almost impossible for us to imagine ourselves believing The clothes we wore a few years ago now look strange to us in old photographs. Everything is changing. This is a prediction I can make with absolute certainty. 1

2018年自学考试《英语写作基础》试题及答案
2018年自学考试《英语写作基础》试题及答案 Ⅰ.Supply the missing paragraph (20 points) The following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph of about 100 words. Make sure that the tone and vocabulary you use are in unity with the passage provided. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in the City Like many other city dwellers, I often complain about having to cope with the problems related with city life. I sometimes fancy getting closer to nature and appreciating its beauty fully in the country. Once a friend asked me, “Do you really hate life in the city that much? If you had a choice, would you move away to the country?”I compelled myself to think about city life more seriously. Now I have to do justice to it. Admittedly, the attractions of city life still appeal to me strongly despite its drawbacks. In general, city life is relatively convenient and comfortable. The supply of water and electricity is continuous. Whenever one wants, all he has to do is just turning on a faucet or pressing a button. There is also a variety of vehicles for transportation, form buses and cars to trains and planes, that help people move about efficiently. Shopping centers are seen and there in cities. Thanks to the amazing diversity of commodities, going shopping is often interesting and enjoyable for city dwellers. Besides the
