Writing 四级写作指导.ppt

Utilitarian Courses or Elementary Courses 写作指南：这是四级作文中典型的比较型作文，要求考生从目前大学生面临就业压力、实用主义观念盛行的背景下，权衡并分析实用课程和基础课程的重要性。考生可以自由阐述个人观点，可以是有倾向性的选择（即表述其中一种课程的重要性），也可以是中立式的论述（即表述两者同等的重要性）。 Sample [1] The phenomenon of tight labor market has given rise to a heated discussion: whether our universities should focus more on practical courses? [2] I am of the opinion that our education should equip students with more utilitarian courses. [3] It is true that a university should establish the structure of the students’ knowledge.

[5] Only in this way, could we survive the cruel competition. [6] What’s equally important, acquiring more advanced utilitarian knowledge, we could keep up with the pace of the information era.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up wrinkles the soul. 修辞（rhetorics/figures of speech ) Life is a journey. (metaphor） The past twenty years witnessed the fast dev
