四六级考试作文的写作步骤 审题是写作的第一步,也是关键的一步。拿到题后，首先认真地把题读几遍，找出关键词语，弄清题目要求；然后确定文章的文体以及主题思想，并围绕主题去构思。 2．写提纲 写提纲是考试写作中必不可少的一步。有些考生因为考试时间有限，为了节省时间而不打草稿，结果在写文章时没有条理、甚至跑题。要注意以下一些问题：
C提纲尽可能写的详细，这样在誊写作文的时候就不会做过多的修改，影响卷面的整洁与美观。 3．将提纲扩展成文章，加以修改，誊写在试卷上。 4．文章的修改 将写好的作文认真通读一遍，检查文字是否简洁、用词是否准确、句子结构是否完整、语句是否通顺、有无重大语法错误，特别留意笔误及标点符号。 文章开头段的写法 俗语说：“好的开始是成功的一半。” 开头段在整个文章中占有重要的作用，它是给改卷老师的第一印象，这印象会在很大程度上决定你作文的最终得分。 开头段的几种常用的写法 1．引用俗语或名人名言 eg. An English proverb goes like this, “Wisdom in the mind is better than money in the hand.” 2. 使用提问题法,以激发起读者读这篇文章的兴趣。 3. 引用数字或数据 4. 下定义 5. 引用另人难以置信或耸人听闻的事件 1. 列举法 Nonverbal communication, or "body language." is communication by facial expressions, head or eye movements, hand signals, and body postures. It can be just as important to understanding as words are. Misunderstandings often amusing but sometimes serious-can arise between people from different culture if they misinterpret nonverbal signals. Take for example, the differences in meaning of gesture very common in the United States: a circle made with the thumb and index finger. To an American, it means that everything is ok. To a Japanese, it means that you are talking about money. In France," it means that something is worthless, and in Greece, it is an obscene gesture. Therefore, an American could unknowingly offend a Greek by using that particular hand signal. 2. 分类法 一般是在主题句之后，依次罗列段落指示词所表达的几个部分或几个方面。然后，选用丰富的事例对所罗列的各个部分或各个方面进行具体地说明或解释。 There are three basic kinds of materials that can" be found
in any good library. First, there are books on all subjects, both
in English and in many other languages. These books are organized
according to subject, title, and author in a central file caned
the card catalog. Books can generally be checked out of the library
and taken home for a period of two to four weeks. Second, there
are reference works. which include encyclopedias, dictionaries,
bibliography, atlases, etc., and which generally must be used in
the library itself. Third, there are periodicals- magazines, newspapers,
pamphlets-which are flied alphabetically in racks, or which have
been filmed to conserve space. Like reference works, periodicals
cannot usually be removed from the library. 3. 因果关系 在段落一开头，就用主题句点明其因果关系，然后选用有关材料，客观的罗列某些原因或结果，以证阐述的中心思想。 Growing numbers of well-to-do Americans are making the decision to move abroad. They find it impossible in America to walk the streets at night without fear of being raped, mugged, or murdered, nor do they see a way to escape the poisonous air of the cities. They maintain that even American food has become increasingly dangerous to eat. Last but not least, they insist that they are sick of the pace of American life, a pace that leaves no time for relaxation or pleasure. 因果关系常用语汇: because of, so, owing to, thanks to, thus, as a result of, hence, for this reason, consequently, is caused by, lead to, result to 4．比较法 主题句必须明确表明所要比较的对象和所要比较的范围，实际上就是罗列两个或两个以上比较对象的相同点。 Learning English is like building a house. Laying a solid foundation
is the first 常用语汇：at the same time, similar to, accordingly, both, show a degree of similarity, similarly, lie and so , the same as, and… too, in the same way, in a like manner 5．举例法 列举事实或举出实例来说明中心思想, 是简单易行、具有说服力的写作方法。 Communicating with other people by telephone is very convenient, especially when you have something urgent. For example, if one of your family members is seriously ill at right, and you don’t know how to deal with it and where to find a doctor, what can you do? A telephone is the answer. Dial 120 and you will get services from the hospital very soon. 文章结尾的方法 一篇文章的结尾部分十分重要，它的主要作用是通过对全文的归纳总结,读者知道文章结构已达逻辑完整,或者通过首尾呼应,用不同的措辞重申主题,给读者留下更深刻的印象,或者根据文章的立论,作者发表了自己的观点号看法,提出问题,给读者提供想象、思考的余地。结尾段落的写法可以多种多样,但切记要紧扣主题,使文章的开头,中间和结尾三个部分有机地连接在一起,成为一个完整的整体。下面介绍几种常见的写法。 1．概括全文，重申中心思想 There are real reasons I teach, these people who grow and change in front of me. Being a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breathe. 2．引用经典语句 I believe that where there is a will there is a way, and that success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant effort. 3．展望未来,指明方向的结尾法 I hope those cigarette addicts will show more concern to themselves and others and give up smoking, or at least do not smoke in public places. 4．提问结尾法 If there are no homework scheduled for weekends, students would to to school on Monday well rested and willing to work. Teacher, don’t you agree? 5．提出建议与希望 一、 长 短 句原则 英语四、六级考试作文怎么评分 一、评分强调一致性 大学英语四、六级考试的作文部分不是自由作文，而是有规定命题的作文。对考生写什么内容有比较明确的要求，用各种明确的方式如提纲、图表、关键词等加以限制，但提纲常用中文给出，以避免考生将提纲中的文字直接抄录进作文。采用有控制的作文也有利于提高评分的一致性。 对作文评分影响最大的是评分过程。同一篇作文，不同的阅卷员可能给出不同的分数。只有保证评分的一致性，才能提高作文阅卷的信度。这个一致性包括阅卷员本人的一致性、阅卷员之间的一致性和阅卷点之间的一致性，要采取一定的质量控制措施，尽量减少和滤除阅卷员评分的主观性对分数客观性的影响。 二、作文题的评分通常有两种方法 一种是综合法，一种是分析法。分析法是把一篇作文分解为若干要点，如内容、结构、文章连贯性、语法、词汇等，不同的要点也可作不同的加权处理，各要点得分的总和即为全篇得分。综合法是凭阅卷员通读一遍的总体印象打分。综合法的优点是能从总体上把握全文，评卷速度比较快，效率高。 此外，为了提高阅卷的信度也有采用“两读”的方法，即每篇作文由两名阅卷员各自独立评分，若分数差两档以上，由第三名阅卷员重判。考虑到大学英语四、六级考试规模太大，不可能进行两读，因此，通常采用综合法和“一读”的评分方法，然后根据考生的客观题得分进行调整，尽量减少系统误差。 大学英语六级考试写作应试指导 一、概述 教育部1999年最新六级考试大纲对写作的具体要求是：能在阅读难度与课文相仿的书面材料时做笔记、回答问题和写提纲，能就一定的话题或提纲在半小时内写出120-150词的短文，能写通知或便条，表达意思清楚，无重大语言错误。 纵观近10年的大学英语六级考试，作文内容偏重工作、学习、交通及社会文化等方面的问题。考试形式中，给出英文题目和中文提纲式作文占68.4%，图表作文21%，给出英文题目及中文提示作文5.3%
二、如何进行准备 首先要了解六级写作考试大纲的内容，评分标准、原则，历年真题范围，从而掌握出题原则及规律。同时，弄清自身在写作方面存在的问题：词汇贫乏还是不知如何下手。只有这样课下才能有针对性地学习，才能做到知已知彼，百战不殆。 打好基本功。了解六级写作考试选词要熟悉、简洁、具体及多样化；句子要语法规范，具有一致性，连贯性及多样性；段落要中心突出，思想上保持一致，内容上有连贯性等特点。 熟悉各种文体的结构特点，写作技巧及常用句型、套话等。如论说文的常用开头法有谚语法、定义法、引用法、提问法、直接法、间接法、故事法、概括法及综合法；中间段的扩展法有时间、空间、定义、分类、过程、例证、比较与对比及因果法；结尾段常用方法有重述法、总结法、提问法、预测法、建议法及名言法等。了解各种书信及简历的结构特点和写法；熟悉英文摘要及图表作文的具体要求：如何归纳信息、描述中心内容，如何用词简洁等。 背诵一些常用于论说文中的起、承、转、合结构的词（组），句型以及各种书信（如求职信、申请信、邀请信、感谢信等）中常用于开头或结尾的套话等。 勤学多练，熟能生巧。在阅读范文前可根据所给作文题目及要求按自己的思路试写一下，然后与范文对照找出差距，并有意识地背诵一些涉及科技、社会、文化等各个侧面的代表性文章，储存多种信息，以防写作时无话可说。 平时在阅读英语文章、报纸以及做模拟题时，要注意积累常用词汇、表达法及句型，分析文章的构思、组织方法，以便在写作考试时能做到有条不紊，顺理成章。 熟悉各种应试技巧：如何识别提纲中的关键词；如何将提纲转化为各段的主题句；如何描述图表内容，提出相关问题并加以分析、说明；如何开头；如何结尾等。 三、临场注意事项 放松情绪，消除恐惧感，必要时可借助深呼吸来缓解紧张的心情。 如试卷一、二（作文在试卷2上）同时发下来，应在做完听力部分后，迅速地看一下作文题，让其在大脑中留有一席之地，这样便于在做词汇、阅读时随时发现写作可借用的词汇、例子、句型等相关内容，而不致于在本来较短的写作时间内，大脑一片空白，无从下手。 认真审题，弄清文章及各段主题，实现由提纲到主题句的转换。
一、六级写作试题的测试目的及要求 写作是人们表达思想的一种重要技巧,是大学英语六级测试中必不可少的一部分,它是学生综合运用语言能力的体现。纵观历年大学英语六级考试题型,总少不了写作这一环节,而且分值达15分之多,由此可见,写作在应试中的重要性。我们知道,六级考试的目的在于全面考核已修完大学英语六级的学生是否达到教学大纲所规定的各项目标,而其中对写作的考核旨在考核学生英语书面表达的能力。六级写作是继四级写作之后的又一挑战,不仅更多地考查了考生对词汇的掌握,对语法的应用,而且也考查了学生的表达能力、思维的逻辑性和条理性,它在六级考试中占有相当大的比重。
《大学英语教学大纲》指出:“达到四级为基本要求,达到六级为较高要求。”可见,英语六级作文考试要求比四级高。它要求考生在30分钟这一限定时间内写出一篇120个单词以上的英语短文。其出题范围可能是记叙文、描写文、说明文、议论文及应用文,其出题方式可能是直接给出题目(并附有中文或英文提纲),或是根据图画图表作文,或是给出关键词写短文以及根据所给文章(中文或英文)写出文章摘要或大意等,其涉及题材一般为社会、文化或日常生活的一般常识,不涉及知识面过广、专业性太强的内容。对作文本身的要求则是:切题，文字通顺，意思连贯,表达正确,无重大语言错误。 (三)六级写作试题怎样评分? 六级考试写作的评分原则和四级考试的评分原则相差不大,都是采用总体评分(GlobalScoring)方法,阅卷人员就总的印象给出奖励分(RewardScores),主要从内容和语言两个方面对作文进行综合评判,而不是按语言点的错误数目扣分,避免趋中倾向,该给高分就给高分,包括满分,该给低分就给低分,包括零分,不应只给中间的几种分数。但唯一不同的一点就是六级作文的篇幅一般较长于四级作文,而且对考生表达能力的要求更高一些。以下提供的是六级考试大纲的评分标准。
5.字数不足应酌情扣分: 二、六级写作试题的分类及其特点 1.记叙文 记叙文就是叙述客观事物的发展过程及发展情况的文章,其作用在于反映事物发展的情况和规律。因此,在写记叙文的过程中,就必须抓住事件发生的时间、地点、人物、原因、结果等几个要素。在记叙过程中,可根据需要或自己的思维方式,采用不同的写作手法,如按时间顺序写、采用倒叙或插叙等。 2.描写文 描写文就是描摹事物的文章,其侧重点在于描写事物的静态,如事物的位置、状态、颜色等其他一些特性,其作用在于如实地再现事物的样子,活脱出一个真实的画面。因此,在写描写文时,就必须围绕中心,突出重点,层次分明,并且要带有一定的感情色彩。 3.说明文 这种文体旨在说明事物的形状、颜色、性质、成因、用途及特点等,其作用在于让人们从你的说明中了解事物各方面的特征。因此,在写说明文时,我们可以采用各种方法,如举例法、定义法、比较法等来抓住事物的特点,揭示事物的本质、规律及意义。 4.议论文 议论文是一种通过摆事实讲道理来辨明是非的文章,在作文过程中,论点、论据和论证过程是必不可少的。所谓论点,就是作者所提出的观点。论据就是用来证明作者观点的材料和依据,可采用下定义、作解释、列数字、作比较、分类别、举例子、引用等方法来对论点加以论证。那么论证理所当然就是用论据来说明论点的过程,即提出问题、分析问题、解决问题的过程。比较常见的论证方法大体有三类:一是归纳法,通过举多个例子、列各种数据等方法最后归纳出一个结论或规律,即得出论点;二是演绎法,即从一个结论或一般规律进而演绎到其他个别的事物;三是类推法,把两类事物作些比较,依此类推,进而得出结论。 我们应该明白,既然是议论文,就是要提出自已的观点,驳斥他人的观点,并说服读者接受自己的观点。因此,写议论文时,一定要做到论点明确,论据充分有力,论证过程逻辑严密。 5.应用文 何谓应用文?就是人们在日常工作和学习中处理某些问题时所使用的一种文体。应用文种类繁多,如各类书信、便条、通知、海报等都属于应用文之列,它要求语言通俗易懂,内容真实准确,有的应用文,如便条、通知等则要求言简意赅,一目了然。应用文与其他文体最大的不同则在于前者在行文格式上更为讲究。下面,我们就几种比较常见的应用文加以介绍。 (A)书信(Letter) a.信封格式 英文书信的信封和中文书信的信封写法大不相同。英文信封通常是把收信人姓名写在地址之前,而且地址的写法总是从小到大排列。 b.信笺的格式(正文格式) 英文的信笺往往包括8个部分:发信人的地址和发信日期,即信头(Heading),收信人地址及姓名,即信内地址(Inside Address),对收信人的称呼(Salutation),信的正文(Body),结束敬语(Complimentary Close),签名(Signature),附件(The Enclosure)和附言(The Postscript)。 信头的写法正如上文所说的,先写姓名,再写地址(由小到大),最后写日期。日期往往是先月份,后日期和年,常位于信笺的右上方。信内地址常位于信笺的左上角略低于信头一两行处。称呼一般自成一行,从左边顶格写,常以Dear开头,称呼之后加上逗号(如:Dear Sir,)极少情况下用冒号。 英文信的正文与中文信件的正文差别不大,都要求思路清晰,中心突出,通俗易懂,直截了当,结束的敬语一般置于信纸中央靠右下方的位置,头一个字母大写,其余均用小写,在末尾要加上逗号。寄信人的签名则写在结束语下面,若随信附有附件,应在信笺左下角注明，如Encls(或Enclosures)aresume,以便收信人查阅。附言是对写信过程中遗漏的话的补叙。一般来讲,如果不是非写不可的话,应该在公务信函中尽量避免。 (B)便条(Note) 便条实际上是指一种简短、明了的书信。它包括留言条、假条等,都只需一两句话写明时间、地点、事件等几个必要的因素即可。其最大特点就是:简短、清晰。写便条时必须注意:日期应写在右上角的位置;称呼一般位于左上角略低于日期一行的位置;正文紧接其下,尽量简单明了,让人一目了然;署名位于正文右下角。 (C)通知(Notice) 通知往往是在布置工作、传达任务或召开会议等时所使用的一种文体,它常是上级对下级、组织对个人传达事情的一种形式,分为口头通知和书面通知两种。口头通知只是比较随便的口头表达,为了引起注意. 书面通知在格式上则应注意:首先在正文正上方写上Notice或NOTICE,以引起人们的注意,在Notice的正文上方可写上发通知的单位,有时发通知的单位或个人也可放在正文后的右下方;最后在正文左下方标明通知的日期,这一点是与便条相异的。 (二)六级写作试题按题材分为哪几类,其特点如何? 纵观历年六级写作试题,我们可得出这样一个结论:尽管每份试题对作文本身的要求相同,都是要切题、文理通顺、无重大语言错误等,但其题材各异,这里,我们大致把它们归为8种: ·根据命题作文·根据提纲作文·根据关键词作文·根据所给文章写出摘要或大意 1.根据命题作文 此类作文就是只给出题目,要求围绕这个标题写一篇短文。这类出题方式往往是不限定体裁,不限定思路,考生可根据自己的喜好,从不同的角度思维,运用各种写作方式、写作顺序等写出别出新裁的文章,具有很大的灵活性,这是一种最简单的作文方式。 2.根据提纲作文 这类作文通常是既给出命题又给出提纲,其中提纲一般分为中文提纲与英文提纲两种。这类出题方式,往往限定了作者的思路,考生必须以此提纲为线索展开自己的讨论。另外,每条提纲都展示了文章的发展脉络和中心,一般来说,围绕每条提纲所引申的文字应自成一段,这种题材的作文在六级考试中是最为常见的。 ①听古典音乐会有规可循。 此文就是一篇有中文提纲的英语短文,它根据提纲把全文自然分成三段。首先总的介绍听古典音乐有规可循,接着第二段就用first,second,third等序数词有条理地说明了音乐会的一些规则,最后得出结论:只有做到这几点,就会成为好的观众。全文思路清晰,脉络清楚,层次分明,这其实也就是这类提纲作文最大的特点。 3.根据关键词作文 此类作文通常是先给题目,再给出关键词(Key Words),要求在作文过程中恰当地运用这些关键词,充分表达作者自己的意思。这种题材的作文弥补了考生往往因为词汇贫乏而不能充分表达自己思想这一问题。而且,这些关键词紧扣主题,只要你仔细揣测,展开充分的联想,就可以确定文章思路。实际上,这些关键词似乎间接给了你一个提纲,当然,这种题材的作文在六级考试中并不多见。 4.根据所给文章写出摘要或大意 所谓摘要,就是采摘论文或报告内容的提要和梗概,用最简洁的语言向读者介绍论文或报告的主要内容、要点、结果等,使读者在一个较短的时间里对文章的基本内容有个较深的了解。它要求考生把所给文章的篇幅缩小成一篇120～150字左右的短文。其特点是:既考查了考生的表达能力和语法功底,又考查了学生的阅读理解能力和概括能力。通过对近年来六级写作试题的分析,发现这种题材的作文并不常见。 5.根据段首句续写 顾名思义,段首句作文就是指命题者将各段的第一句话给出以作为提示,考生根据标题和各段首句的意思,进行扩展。这里所说的段首句实质上就是中心句、主题句(Topic Sentence),这实质上也就是给考生列了一个间接的提纲,确定了全文的思路,引导考生循序渐进地进行作文。 一般来讲,段首句作文的命题方式分为三种:一种是给出每段的首句,这些段首句之间的逻辑关系可以是并列式,即它们表达的意思是平行关系,没有主次轻重之分,也没有因果或者递进的逻辑关系,比如这样一个例子,要求考生就“我们是否需要因特网”这一观点发表评论,所给的段首句是这样的: ZZ)]. 这个例子阐述了人们喜欢旅游的原因和不喜欢旅游的原因,最后得出结论:如果经济允许,优点多于缺点。此例通过给出两种截然相反观点的段首句,形成对比,引导学生从正反两面来阐述。 另外,段首句作文命题方式的第二种是:给出主题段和正文段的首句,再提供结论段的段尾句,这个段尾句常常就是结论。 6.根据所给材料作文 这种类型的作文通常是命题者给出一段中文或英文的背景材料,要求考生准确理解背景材料的含义,确定写作范围,理顺自己的思路,写出立意新颖的短文。短文的标题一般要求考生自己从材料中提炼。 7.根据图画图表作文 想必这种类型的作文对我们每个人都是再熟悉不过了,它就是指命题者向考生提供图画、图表信息,要求考生完整准确地表达图画、图表信息的大意,这样既考查了学生的写作能力,又考查了学生的观察能力和想象能力。 8.应用文写作 由于这一类型的作文在前面“六级写作试题按体裁分哪几类,其特点如何”中第五点里已讲到,所以在这里就不多作解释。 三、六级写作试题的应试技巧 (一)考生在应试时,如何展开思路? 前面我们已经提到了六级写作试题对考生的要求,即要求考生在30分钟这一限定时间内根据题意写出一篇120个字以上的短文。作为一个考生,要想在考试中更加得心应手,在限定时间内得更高的分数,掌握一定的应试技巧是必要的。下面我们就对写一篇成功的作文的基本思路作一个详解。 短文写作的基本思路应沿着一条直线发展:仔细审题→草拟提纲→落笔成文→重点修改→定稿。 大学英语六级考试写作应试策略 1 多用长句，少用短句，适当加入几句结构较复杂的句子。 Anxiety is perhaps the worst problem many college students are faced with in their examinations.They just feel unable to keep their wits about them in those occasions,as a result of which they don't give full play to their abilities.How to solve this problem? First of all,we should dispel the misgivings about the results
of the exams.All of us are eager to chalk up good results in the
evaluation tests.However,just remember:More haste,less speed.We
should not be too Furthermore,we can also adopt some concrete steps to calm ourselves.For example ,we may keep our eyes closed and think of nothing for a minute or two just before starting an exam.It helps to keep a cool head and minimize nervousness.As for me,this method always works. In the final analysis,we ought to bear in mind that calmness
is essential for good performance in a test.Overcoming anxiety is
not so thorny a problem if we are mentally and physically prepared.
答：要想写好一篇文章，你应该注意一下写作步骤： 1.审题。因为六级作文都是命题作文，而且多有中文提示或提纲，所以你应该认真分析、透彻了解命题的基本要求，然后确定提纲中的关键词及各要点间的逻辑关系，最后确立主题思想和内容范围。 2.构思组织阶段：选好材料，安排好文章的整体结构，注意措词和句子表达。 3.修改：删除与主题不相干的内容，检查句子时态、语态等。 说话写作讲究文采，汉语如此，英语也不例外。语言平淡无味，读之兴致索然；词句文采飞扬，阅来如沐春风。就拿英语写作而言，不论是大学英语四、六级考试，还是像 TOEFL，GRE之类的考试，其作文一般都要求句式富于变化，即Variety。句子结构丰富多姿，可大大增强文章的可读性和表现力，当然比语句单调乏味的文章得分高。另就表情达意而言，当一种表达方式“卡壳”时，适当绕个弯，转变一下思维方式，换一种表达技巧，同样可以达到异曲同工之妙。这一点，与四级相比，对六级考试更为重要。 所谓表达方式的转变，亦即在语言运用中使用尽可能多的方式或途径将同一意思表述出来而语义保持不变。所转换的内容既可以是单词、短语，还可以是句子。这种表达方式转换能力的高低或者说能否快速确切地转换，在一定程度上反映了语言学习者对该语言掌握的熟练程度。许多英语学习者尽管已经掌握了相当大的词汇量，但在具体表达某些思想或观点时却仍力不从心。这主要是因为其大脑中缺乏变化性的言语组合模式，因此在实际的交际情境中，一旦大脑中原先储存的单一表达模式被打乱或遗忘，难免会出现“茶壶里倒饺子”的局面。表现在写作中就是不能够顺畅自如地表达自己所思所想。所以，要提高写作水平，尤其是要取得较高的分数，就得在平时有意识地加强英语表达方式转换的练习。这是提高言语交际中的应变能力，更清楚准确地表达思想获取信息，有效提高写作水平的重要途径。
1.积累同义词。掌握相当数量的同义词且明了其细微的差异可在作文中避免重复（repetition），同时又可提高用词的准确性（accuracy）。如汉语“尴尬的，窘迫的”，英语相对应的词就有“awkward”，“uncomforta-ble”，“uneasy”等供选择。表示“巨大的”可分别用“great”，“giant”，“immense”等。 2.大量搜集短语。短语尤其是起承接作用的短语是英语语言粘合剂，恰当使用会使语篇连贯且富有文采。如写作中经常使用的“众所周知”可说“It is well known that．．．”，“As is known to all”，“We all know that．．．”；表示转折的，“but”，“however”，“neverthe-less”；表示递进的诸如，“what's more”，“furthermore”，“in addition”。如此等等，不一而足。 3变换句式。包括主动变被动，变成倒装句，句中修饰成分位置的改变等。如有一句汉译英练 a）To cash a check in most banks，you should present your ID card．b）Most banks require their customers to present their ID cards in cashing a check．c）Customers are required to present their ID cards in most banks when they cash a check．当然，句中的个别词仍可以替换。 可见，同样的内容，表达的方式各异。坚持练习，将各种结构句式熟稔于心，做到游刃有余，应用自如，从而在不同文体中选择恰如其分的表达方式，这才能真正提高英语语言能力。同样两篇基本无语法错误的作文，一篇语言通顺，条理清晰，意思完整；另一篇除此之外，用词丰富，句式跌宕起伏，颇具变化。哪个得分更高是不言而喻的。 如何写好四六级英语作文 1-1 对立法 : 先引出其他人的不同看法,然后提出自己的看法或者偏向于某一看法, 适用于有争议性的主题. 例如(e.g) [1].

As can be clearly seen from the table, the gross domestic product (GDP) of Country X has soared from 300 billion dollars in 1980 to 1,000 billion dollars in 2000, more than 200 percent higher. The rapid increase tells us vividly how well the economy has developed during the past two decades. As far as the reasons for this change are concerned, we can list several most important ones. To begin with, the government of the country has adopted the policy of reform and opening up for more than twenty years, which liberated people from old constraints. What's more, while all the people have been actively involved in economic activities in order to better their lives, they contributed a lot to the national economy. Last but not least, the enterprises have taken advantage of this golden opportunity to make big profits, thus unintentionally speeding up the economic growth. There is no denying that the country has successfully and smoothly developed its economy. As long as all the parties concerned, the government, the people and the enterprises make concerted efforts, the GDP growth will be even faster and healthier. (188 words) 2．背诵范文 The following table shows the consumption of an average worker in a city. Write a composition that conveys the information in the table: The Average Worker Expense in City X Model Composition Great changes have taken place in a worker's family from 1988 to 1993. The average worker income has increased from 560 yuan in 1988 to 880 yuan in 1993, more than 50 percent higher. Since there is a remarkable increase, the way in which the average worker spends his income has also changed accordingly. Workers spend more money on food and housing, especially on articles for daily use, which shows that their material living standard is rising rapidly. Their spending on clothing remains the same from 1988 to 1993 and their expenditure on fuel in 1993 is only half that of 1988. They are not satisfied with the present condition any more. They long to live a more comfortable and better life. It is clear from the table that as incomes increase people can afford to live more comfortably and eat better. However, the money they spent on entertainment is very small, only 2% to 3% of the total income, which shows workers in City X go to cinema or theater once or twice a year. This condition will be changed soon. Now more and more money will be invested on education, and as the income increases, the living standard will rise gradually.

You should write at least 120 words according to the situation given below in Chinese: 假设你的好朋友李芳是大学四年级学生，正在考虑是考研究生继续深造还是大学毕业后就踏上工作岗位。请给她写封信表明你的态度。 Dear Fang, I understand that you are in a dilemma. Although so many graduates are eager to set feet on their work-life road, there are still some who prefer to start their new life after gaining another degree to make better preparation for entering society. In my opinion, the latter are more admirable. You are good at all your course these years, so if you do like to spend another two or three years on campus, you should stick to it. In today's society, the achievement and status you can get and the devotion you can make are no doubt in proportion to your educational background and degrees, coupled with the efforts you put in them. If you want to stride to your destinations more smoothly and easily, why not head for the further study courageously? Whichever you choose, I firmly believe your industry will ensure your success. After all, it is you who have the finally say on the final choice. Best wishes, Yours sincerely Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: My View on the post-graduate Craze. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below: 1 目前考研究生形成热潮。 2 我认为这股热潮的原因是...... My View on the Post-graduate Craze Every year, million of college students will sit in for the post-graduate entrance examination. More and more students have regarded the pursuing of a master degree as an indispensable part of their education. What is to account for their enthusiasm for a post-graduate diploma? First, it is the demand of the time. In an age of knowledge updating and information explosion, what you have learned in college can hardly meet the demand of society. Talents of high quality who are equipped with the latest knowledge and skill will be needed more than ever. That is why many students will further their studies. Second, we all recognize that the more education you have, the more likely you are to succeed. Compared with those without a master degree, masters will enjoy more preferential treatment, for example, better salaries, more opportunities for promotion and training. A post-graduate degree can guarantee a more promising career. Last but not least, with the graduation of a large number of college students, competition for jobs becomes more and more fierce. One way to gain some advantage over others is to have a higher degree. No wonder millions of students will consider pursuing a post-graduate degree.

The first place to go to is, the Great Wall, which is the symbol of China and one of the seven wonders in the world. What's more, it is said to be the only construction that can be seen from the outer space. In the imperial periods, it was used in defense of the dynasties. Since liberation, it has become a place of interest. There is a famous saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall isn't a true man." China is home to Panda, an animal with only two colors, white and black, but very cute. It's our national treasure, often functioning as a friendly diplomat. Terracotta-clay warriors unearthed in Xi'an, a famous ancient city-were sculptured in Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty of China.

You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below : 1. Is there anything in the Western culture you admire? 2. What is it (are they) and why do you like it (them)? Something I Admire about the Western Culture Despite the cultural conflicts between the Orient and the Occident, there do exist some admirable ingredients in the Western culture. First and foremost, the equality between parents and children. The parents are not always superior to their children, and the children do not always need to obey their parents ‘order, that is, they are more like close friends. Second, the independent personality. Western people have a strong sense of supporting themselves and being independent. They begin earning their pocket money early in their life, even as kids. Last, Western people do not always assess a person according to
his background. If only he can achieve success through personal
struggle, he can win status. It's a talent-oriented society, not
background-oriented. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Campus Life. You should write at least 120 words according to the situation given below in Chinese: Campus Life Early in senior high school, we longed to be enrolled in a university. Now the dream has come true. But how do we college students like our campus life? Certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding. Besides study, they spend considerable amount of time improving themselves in various aspect. Yet others do not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit as much. In their eyes, the university is just a bigger high school. The only difference is that they have more time at their disposal without parents looking over their shoulder. As to me, college life is ideal if only I have abundant books to
read, some bosom friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious
professors to instruct me, and an easy access to the Internet. Directions: for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: My opinion on Campus Love. You should write at least 120 words according to the situation given below in Chinese: 1. Some people are strongly against campus love. 2. Some people accept it. 3. My view. My opinion on Campus Love Campus love isn't a newly-born phenomenon. Some people are strongly against it while some others think it's natural. I don't advocate it. The reasons are as follows. First of all, undergraduates are neither fully psychologically mature nor able to assume the responsibility, especially freshmen and sophomores. Second, they may indulge in it, thus dilapidate their study, which isn't rare. Third, some just take advantage of it to kill time, avoid boredom with much time at their own disposals, have someone keep company, etc. What's more, some change dating "partners" frequently, holding a paradox opinion that they could show off their charm or accumulate experience, but more often than not, they would leave a bad impression, such as lacking the sense of responsibility, on others, especially their former sweethearts. Last, the proportion of successful couples is too low. The overwhelming majority reach the same end-parting just before graduation, forced by reality, etc. So, look before you leap, discard campus love and make a wiser
decision after graduation. Directions: The summer vacation is drawing near. You, Liming by name, want to find a part-time job. Write an application letter of about 120-150 words within 30 minutes. Dear Sirs, I'm Li Ming, a sophomore majoring in English at XX University. I read in yesterday's newspaper that you are looking for a part-time secretary and I think I'll prove to be a real find for you. During the past two years at university, I’ve taken over 18 compulsory and optional course, and have according improved my ability of English listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation considerably. Besides, I have learned a lot about foreign relations and trade. At leisure, I always try to grasp every precious opportunity to practice English with native speakers. As a matter of fact, I've already tried some translation and interpretation jobs. I once worked as a temporary interpreter at the East China Export Commodities Fair. In addition, during the past two years, I have been working as a part-time tour guide. My jobs offered me good opportunities to improve my English and work competence and I enjoy them very much. Two weeks from now, I will be on holiday again. If you can grant
me the honor to work for your company as a secretary for two months,
I'd feel obliged. Thank you for reading my application letter. I'm
looking forward to your reply. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Opinion on Advertisement. You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline below: Some people hold the idea that the advertisement is a necessary evil in modern life. What do you think? My Opinion on Advertisement As is known to all, angels and evils are poles apart. But is there
anything that combines the two perfectly? Some there is-the advertisement.
With the growing influence of mass media, advertising invades every
aspect of our lives. Whenever we turn on the TV, look through a
newspaper, open the mailbox, or surf on the Internet, advertisements
would immediately jump into our sight. As they make things so attractive,
we often end up buying things that we do not really need. Advertising
not only adds to the price of the goods, thus harming the consumer's
interest, but also imposes a kind of materialistic value upon the
audience. But that is only part of the story-advertisements are
informative as well as persuasive. They provide us with up-to-date
information about the latest products. Some advertisements are so
elegantly presented that we are inspired or even moved. No matter
it is an evil or an angel, advertisement has become an indispensable
part of our modern life. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: School or Major. You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline below: 1.选择报考的高校时，有人先考虑大学的名气，有人先考虑专业是否热门。 2.如果两者不能兼顾，你先考虑哪个？为什么？ School or Major Recent years have witnessed a steady increase in the popularity of such majors as international finance, finance and accountancy, international trade and business administration. In the meantime, whether to choose good university or a good major has provoked a debate. It is true that graduates from prestigious universities are popular in talent markets, so, many students would spare no efforts to be enrolled in good universities. To them, entering a good university means standing on the threshold of a promising career after graduation. But, a good university can give you confidence as well as much competitive pressure and even the best university has unpopular majors, thus in today's job-hunting society, graduates from these majors could encounter much difficulty in finding a job, let alone a good one, which means they are out of job immediately after graduation. How about a good major? Maybe you are studying in a common university,
but your major is of great competition, then do you still need to
worry about your future? A good major can ensure your future success
based on your industry and mastery of your major. If your major
is exclusive to only several universities, you surely will become
a scarce talent. Do not always pursue a good university; choosing
a good major suitable to you is wiser. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: What does friendship mean? You should write at least 120 words and you shouldbase your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below: 1.友谊是人生永恒的主题。 2.友谊到底意味着什么。 3.友谊的重要性。 What does friendship mean? There is no definite answer. An eternal theme in literature, friendship is also indispensable in daily life. Friendship is to our life what salt is to dasher. When you are happy, friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade; when you are sad, friendship is a dose of consolation; if you are in trouble, friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you; if you have a hard nut to crack, you can turn to friends for help. We admire the great friendship between Marx and Engel, which firmly combined them and pushed them forward on the road to exploring and fulfilling Communism. Friendship isn't almighty, but no one can live happily without
it. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of about 120-150 words. Write a letter to the Law Department in a university to apply for the M.A. course of business law. Dear Sir or Madam: I read with great interest the information of graduate studies
in your university. I am particularly interested in the course of
business law. I am writing to apply for the M.A. course of business
law beginning in October, 2003. I am a student of the Law School
of ABC University where I have had four years' study of civil law,
criminal law, administrative law, environmental law, constitutional
law, business law and many other subjects. During those four years
in college, I have passed all the required courses of study with
satisfactory marks. Enclosed herewith is a certified copy of my
academic report form the department concerned. You will notice that
I obtained very excellent results in business law. I have always
found business law an interesting subject. I would like to further
my study in this field at your prestigious university. I therefore
request more detailed information for the course. Thank you in advance
for your prompt attention to this. I look forward to hearing from
you. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter of about 120-150 words to your cousin. In the letter, you should give him some advice how to prepare for the college entrance examination he is going to take next month. Dear Xiao Yan, Your entrance examination is drawing near now, and I expect you to be very busy preparing for it and a little nervous. But I believe that you will do well. As a good friend of yours and survivor of the exam, I am going to give you a few practical hints. It is no good to go on studying until the last minute of examination. What you need in the exam is a clear mind. If you tire yourself out before the examination, you will not be mentally and physically ready for it. So a day or two before the examination just relax-leave your books shut and try some other things: get out into the open air; do some physical exercises; see a film; have fun. When you take the exam, don't feel nervous. Breathe deeply and picture yourself performing well in all the tests. Then, read the questions through carefully and thoughtfully, and put your answer down to paper. Last, you should pay attention to the time. Keep an eye on the clock and allot appropriate time to each section. I hope all these suggestions will be helpful to you. Best wishes for your success. Yours affectionately Direction: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic On Stress. You should write no less than 120 words and base your composition on the online below: 1.有的人害怕压力。 2.有的人认为压力并不是一件坏事。 3.我的看法。 On Stress With the fast are pace of modern life, more and more people are living under great pressure. Some people are afraid of pressure. They think that the stresses and strains of work deprive them of joy and happiness. In their view, stress does harm to them both physically and mentally. That is why they prefer something less competitive and strenuous to something more demanding and challenging. Others argue that stress isn't as bad as it often supposed to be. Unless it is overwhelming, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and stimulation. With out stress, you may slack off and idle away your time. It gives purpose and meaning to an otherwise meaningless, dull life. People under stress tend to bring their potential into full play and to realize their goals. In my opinion, we shouldn't escape from stress but to face it as
it is. What we can do is to adapt to the stress and to profit from
it rather than to avoid it. Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic City Problems. You should write no less than 120 words and base your composition on the outline below: 1.越来越多的人涌入大城市，有些问题随之产生。 2.比较明显的大问题有...... 3.我对这种现象的想法。 City Problems Nowadays, millions of migrant workers flock into cities in search of jobs and better living. However, with the sharp rise in the urban population, many problems arise in t he development of cities. Firstly, cities become more and more crowded, putting much pressure upon transportation, housing, sanitation, education, employment and so on. City services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point. Secondly, a growing number of private cars emit huge amount of carbon dioxide, leaving the air mercilessly polluted. What is more, the city is also threatened by rising crime. Not a single day passes without the report of someone being robbed, kidnapped or murdered. Last but not least, city-dwellers are not only separated from the natural world but also isolated from each other, even not knowing the name of their next-door neighbor. All these problems have harmed the attractiveness of the city.
Unless there is some improvement, more and more people may seek
to live in the suburbs. Direction: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Cars and Air Pollution. You should write no less than 120 words and base your composition on the outline below: 1.私家轿车越来越多，有些问题随之产生。 2.比较明显的大问题有...... 3.我对这种现象的看法。 Car and Air Pollution Too many cars have created a lot of serious problems in our world.
Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, cars are
responsible for a good part of air pollution in big cities. All
the time, they are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the
atmosphere. These gases are very harmful, causing disease and even
death. One possible solution is to design and develop clean cars
and clean fuels. In Shanghai, some of the public buses begin to
run on natural gas, which does not give off as much carbon dioxide
as the petrol. But it may take decades for the new models of clean
cars completely replace the traditional ones. Another solution is
to develop modern public transportation systems and restrict the
use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and
the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people
will not buy private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities
will reduce greatly. On the whole, the elimination of air pollution
needs the collective efforts from the government, the public and
the environmentalists. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Fast Food. Your composition should be based on the Outline given below: 1.快餐在中国十分流行 2.快餐受欢迎的原因 3.我对快餐的看法 Fast Food Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today, nothing is more representative of the fast pace of modern society than fast food. There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is quick and convenient. Go into a fast food restaurant, and your food will be ready in a minute. You can satisfy your hunger instantly. Precious time won't be wasted in waiting-in-line to order or waiting at your table for your food to arrive. Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean food, the excellent service and the comfortable environment of the fast food restaurant. However, I think that fast food isn't healthy enough because it
does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition. Doctors
suggest that people should avoid eating too much fast food. Although
home cooking is time-consuming and following washing-u p tiresome,
it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs.
Fast food I s only a good choice when you are in a hurry and we
should turn to it only once in awhile. （I）说明原因型 模块（一） Nowadays ,there are more and more XX in some big cities . It is estimated that ( 1 ). Why have there been so many XX ?

It is estimated that (75 percentages of parents often complain their children's unreasonable behavior while children usually think their parents too old fashioned). Why have there been so much misunderstanding between parents and children? Maybe the reasons can be listed as follows .

The third reason is (with the pace of modern life becoming faster and faster , both of them are so busy with their work or study that they don't spare enough time to exchange ideas ).To sum up ,the main cause of XX is due to ( lake of communication and understanding each other) .

Why does such circumstance occur in spite of social protects? For one thing ,(the population of the world is increasing so rapidly that the world has been so crowded. ).For another,(the overuse of natural resources has influenced the balance of natural ecology ). What is more , since ( the industrial revolution ) ,it is natural that (a great number of factories have been springing up like mushrooms
.The smoke and harmful chemicals released from factories also pollute
the environment ). 内容导读： 1.When asked about the ongoing uproar involving U.S. President
Bill Clinton , most people say the affair involves a purely private
matter . But many other people regard his actions as deplorable
. I personally think the president committed impeachable offences
. 2. When it comes to the increasing use of motor vehicles in Beijing
, some people think that use should be limited . Others argue that
the opposite is true . There is probably some truth to both arguments,but
emission controls must be instituted regardless of the number of
vehicles. 3. There is a general debate nowadays about the problem of itinerant
workers . Those who object to the rising migrant population argue
that increasing numbers lead to rising crime rates and harm social
stability . They believe that strict limits should be placed on
migrants entering China ' s cities . But people who favor the influx
of the cheap labor force , on the other hand , maintain that migrants
are needed to support the massive urban infrastructure construction
program . 4. It is widely acknowledged that extensive deforestation contributed
to heavy summer flooding . Experts argue that China must introduce
a massive afforestation program . But I doubt whether afforestation
alone will solve the problem . 5. Most people are of the opinion that wealth provides solutions
to all problems . But in spite of the material benefits wealth provides
, I believe one should abandon the pursuit of materialism and instead
concentrate on the pursuit of happiness . 6. Many people believe that capital punishment deters crime . But
although criminologists have conducted exhaustive research regarding
the subject , little evidence exists to support the claim . 7. An increasing number of people are joining the " Information
Age " via the Internet . In reaction to the phenomenon , some
say the Internet has removed barrters and provided people with immediate
access to the world . But do they raelize that rapidly advancing
information technology can also lead to intrusions of privacy ? 8. The use of guanxi is a widespread method for conducting business , but is it a wise one ? The method is now being challenged by more and more people .利用关系是做生意的普遍做法，但这种做法明智吗？现在，越来越多的人对这种方法提出了质疑。 9. These days we often hear about the widening gap between the
rich and poor . Some argue the developed world has totally ignored
the problem . But has it ? Close examination fails to bear out the
argument . 10. We ' re often told that the world is tethering on the brink
of destruction . But is this really the case ? 11. One of the pressing problema facing our nation ( China ) today
is overcoming disparities in urban and rural income levels . 12. One of the most serious problems many people talk about centers
on the lack of adequate housing space . 13. Perhaps the most dangerous phenomenon gripping the nation today
is official corruption , which is pervasive in all levels of government
. 14. Inflation is yet another new and bitter truth we must learn
to face . 15. The rapid expansion of urban areas has in many cases encroached
on valuable cultivatable land , and led to a general recognition
that development must not be carried at the cost of agriculture
. The government has attached greater importance to the problem
and an increasing number of redundant projects are being terminated
. 17. There has been a dramatic increase in the spread of HIV/AIDS
in recent years , with a new study projecting that the dreaded disease
will affect over 30 million people worldwide by the year 2005 . 18. Working with the disabled cannot help but leave one impressed
with their indefatigable desire . 19. Perhaps no issues are more controversial than euthanasia and
abortion , both of which involve taking the life of a human being
. 20. Never before in history has the issue of overpopulation been
more evident than now . 21. Perhaps it is time to reexamine the idea that college degrees
are a guarantee of intelligence . 22. A growing number of people are beginning to realize that wealth
is not the sole prerequisite for happiness . 23. In spite of the extraordinary progress made in science and
technology , problems remain in terms of guaranteeing that achievements
benefit the greatest number of people . 24. A famous thinker once wrote that " the greatest threat
to mankind is mankind itself ! " If this is indeed the case
, then the current situation should make us ponder our futuer existence
. 25. U.S. President Harry Truman once remarked : " The buck
stops here ! " His view has been confirmed by numerous world
leaders who have assumed full responsibility for their actions . 26. Large families were once seen as a blessing . Today , however
, things are changing and an increasing number of Chinese parents
realize that fewer is better . 27. People used to place total reliance on the government . The
so-called " iron rice bowl " prevailed in the past , but
things are quite different today . 28. Several years ago , Chinese streets were filled with people
wearing identical drab clothing . Today , however , things are quite
different and the streets are awash with people wearing fashionable
bright colored outfits . Why has the change taken place ? 29. Years of observing human behavior has enabled me to conclude
that the major difference between mediocrity and success lies solely
with the individual concerned . Successful individuals consistently
seek advancement , while their less industrious contemporaries are
merely content with the status quo . 30. Traditional way of thinking have changed dramatically . The
pendulum has swung and people are exhibiting greater open-mindedness
and a burning desire to detemine their own destiny . 31. There has been undesirable trend in recent years towards the
worship of money . A recent survey showed that X percent of respondents
ranked getting rich as their top priority , compared to X percent
only a few years ago . Why do people fail to realize that wealth
does not necessarily bring happiness ? 32. Some months ago , a friend of mine was killed in a tragic automobile
accident involving a drunk driver . The incident was far from rare
, and was in fact typical of thousands of cases involving people
dricing under the influence of alcohol . 33. I recently read a newspaper article on the rampant spread of
child abuse . The deplorable problem of the widespread abuse of
innocent children has aroused public concern nationwide . 34. Should parents spare the rod and spoil the child ? Opinions
concerning strict parental discipline vary widely . Some view strict
discipline as nothing more than a form of abuse , while others argue
it is an essential factor for instilling appropriate social behavior
. 35. What do you think of the increasing openness accompanying the
ongoing sexual revolution ? Do you ever fantasize ? Answers to these
questions should be based on a determination between appropriate
and inappropriate behavior . 36. Why do some governments persist in spending billions of dollars
on space exploration when starvation and poverty continue to grip
many countries throughout the world ? This particular question is
being raised by an ever increasing number of people . 37. Judging from the reams of evidence presented , we can safely
conclude that the Three Gorges Project will change the lives of
an untold number of people forever . 38. The ample evidence presented enables us to reasonably conclude
that the scourge of AIDS will be brought under control in the foreseeable
future . 39. We must seek immediate solutions for problems leading to the
rapid depletion of the earth's ozone layer . If allowed to proceed
unchecked , the problem will undoubtedly exacerbate global warming
and threaten life as we know it today . 40. Quite obviously , immediate action is needed to extricate 80
million Chinese people from the grips of poverty in order to remove
the danger of social unrest and ensure continuing stability . 41. China needs to reexamine the results of political and social
modernization in order to ascertain the benefits and indeed the
detrimental aspects from a new perspective . Otherwise , various
perceived accomplishments might in fact prove to be far from beneficial
. 42. It is essential to heed warnings of potentially catastrophic
consequences associated with the Year 2000 computer bug and , in
turn , to attach top priority to finding effective solutions to
ensure a smooth transition into the new century . 43. It is high time we put an end to the deplorable practice of
infanticide. 44. There is little doubt that immediate action is required to
eliminate the scourge of corruption once and forever . 45. In short , we must work diligently to make the world a better
place for coming generations . We must not persist in pursuits harmful
to the environment . 46. We must avoid overindulgence and conspicuous consumption .
We must instead continue to recognize the benefits of thrift in
order to protect our newfound prosperity . 47. It is absolutely essential to reverse the irrational misuse
of nonrenewable resources . For example , fuel-efficient motor vehicles
must be developed to reduce oil consumption and alternative energy
sources must be found to replace coal . 48. While achieving success is easier said than done , persistence
does in fact pay off . One of the most important traits of a successful
person is self-confidence , another is desire , and still another
is determination . 49. Recognizing a problem is the first step in finding a solution
. 50. Many of the explanations offered thus far are at least to a
certain extent valid , but none fully address the problem and the
issue must be examined in a wider context . 51. There are no immediate solutions for reversing the Asian financial
crisis , but convincing affected nations to practice fiscal restraint
will be highly beneficial . 52. Immediate solutions for solving problems surrounding poverty
remain elusive . However , public recognition of the necessity to
provide a better quality of life for millions of people will represent
the first step in finding effective solutions . 53. What dose the future hold if mankind persists in wasting natural
resources ? While no one knows for sure , scientists do exhibit
a degree of certainty when predicting that future generations will
face a dramatically diffrernt world . 54. Reversing undesirable social trends will be far from an easy
task and will require a dramatic change in attitudes . A keen awareness
of right from wrong is essential for determining appropriate social
behavior . 55. We owe a debt of gratitude to the many individuals who dedicated
their lives to making the world a better place . However , we must
not rest on their accomplishments , but must instead work assiduously
to record even greater achievements . 56. The two major challenges facing China today center on maintaining
sustained economic growth and feeding its growing population of
over 1.2 billion people with only seven percent of the world's cultivable
land . Despite the monumental difficulties involved , Chinese people
will undoubtedly exhibit their indefatigable resilience and achieve
great success in both regards . 57. We do , in fact , have a long way to go to reach our final
goal , but achieving some remains well within the realm of possibility
. 58. The time is right for us to take full advantage of ample existing
opportunities . 59. While it remains to be seen whether or not environmental deterioration
can be controlled , the current prospects are far from encouraging
. People around the world must act immediately to prevent the situation
from deteriorating even further . 60. The methodology suggested may not guarantee ultimate success
, but the eventual pay-off could well be worth the effort . Achieving
even partial success will benefit mankind and contribute to creating
a better world . 61. Admittedly , ensuring sustainable development will require
a certain level of sacrifice and arduous efforts on the part of
all people . Nonetheless , the accrued returns will both strengthen
the nation and ensure a better life for all Chinese citizens . 62. The rapid emergence of homes for senior citizens represents
a sharp divergence from the traditional Chinese practice of maintaining
the nuclear family at all costs . 63. Participating in interactive experiences beneficial to all
is something that no one should miss . The valuable lessons learned
therefrom should not be arbitrarily dismissed , but should instead
be treasured . 64. Abortion advocates may be correct in their assertion that the
practice is a necessary tool of population control , but they seem
to neglect the preciousness of human life in its earliest stages
. 65. Some people assert that nothing is impossible . Such people
should get a grip on reality and understand it's impossible to create
another Universe . In more down-to-earth terms , it's impossible
to know with any certainty whether you will live or die tomorrow
. 66. Two major factors contributed to devastating summer flooding
along the Yangtze River and its tributaries . First , erosion resulting
from excessive deforestation in the upper reaches of the river and
, second ,heavy silting which raised the riverbed in the main channel
. 67. Greed and a total lack of social consciousness have been cited
as major reasons for the dramatic rise corruption . 68. There are several reasons for the marked increase in China's
crime rate—the dramatic influx of itinerant workers in urban areas
; declining social values ; and widening disparities between the
haves and have-nots . 69. Why are an increasing number of elderly Chinese parents living
apart from their children ? One reason is the increasing upward
mobility of the younger generation . Another is expanding social
opportunities for the elderly . Perhaps the main reason , however
, centers on dramatic changes in traditional concepts . 70. What has sparked the increasing interest in exercise ? For
one thing , people have gained a greater awareness of the need for
physical fitness . For another , the constantly improving standard
of living enables Chinese people to patronize the increasing number
of recreational venues . The main thing perhaps centers on the healthcare
and psychological benefits exercise provides . 71. Identifying the reasons for an emerging phenomenon which involves
several complicated factors is far from an easy task . For example
, some scientists attribute environmental deterioration to a series
of natural factors , while others place the blame solely on inappropriate
human behavior . 72. One doesn't have to look far to realize the direct correlation
between smoking and cancer . 73. The explanation for the phenomenon of the rising teenage suicide
rate involves many complicated factors . Some attribute the rise
to an overemphasis on early success , others point to mounting peer
pressure , and still others to confusion over changing social values
. 74. The reasons for antisocial behavior are both complicated and
varied . I suggest the phenomenon results from inappropriate role
models and the lack of well-defined norms of behavior . However
, the main reason is quite likely the continuing degeneration of
social values . 75. The causes of racial hatred are not readily definable . Sociologists
, however , attribute them to the misguided concept of a superior
race and an innate mistrust of people of color . Perhaps the main
cause is quite simply ignorance . 76. The scourge of HIV/AIDS currently engulfing the world will
quite likely be brought under control within the next few years
thanks to the untiring efforts of scientists and researchers worldwide
. 77. The incidence rate of cancer mainly stems from several factors
, including inappropriate diets , poor healthcare practices and
the lack of early detection . Continuing medical advances and rising
awareness do , however , offer promising hope for the future . 78. Increased urban pollution levels and the mounting death toll
from motor vehicles accidents can mainly be attributed to the glut
of automobiles appearing on city roads in recent years . Detrimental
factors will quite likely outweigh the benefits of rising automobile
usage . 79. The rising divorce rate in China can , at least in part , be
attributed to spousal incompatibility , disparities in education
levels , changing social attitudes and the increasing upward mobility
of the younger generation . 80. State-owned enterprises are not only failing because of inefficient
management , but also because of their inability to awitch operational
modes from the former planned economy to the new market economy
. 81. Although we do not know the long-term consequences of separation
or deprivation , we do know that they can produce acute immediate
distress . 82. One can raedily trace the disappearance of dinosaurs to a major
cataclysmic event . 83. The raesons for poverty are many , but for the most part center
on illiteracy , the lack of opportunities and in some cases pure
laziness . 84. Child development depends on a number of factors , both physical
and psychological . Correct parental nurturing from infancy through
adolescence determines both the physical and mental profile of a
mature individual . 85. Factors such as self-condidence and ambition , combined with
determination and willpower , contribute to eventual success or
failure . 86. Various factors will weigh heavily on China's eventual entry
into the World Trade Organization ( WTO ) . One centers on the total
abandonment of protectionism , and the other on the adoption of
generally accepted international accounting norms . 87. One of the most common failures of people today is to avoid
telling the truth . People must realize that avoidance and lying
have never in the past and , in fact , never will right a wrong
. 88. Central planning has , at least in part , been blamed for the
current demise of state-owned enterprises . Perhaps , however ,
the greatest blame should be placed on factors such as grossly inefficient
management ; the rampant practice of " guanxi " , cronyism
and nepotism ; excessively large work forces ; abuses of social
benefits ; and without a doubt corruption . 89. A recent survey revealed large disparities in the income levels
of male and female workers holding the same position . The determining
factor should be qualifications , rather than gender , when determining
both the salary and position of an individual . 90. Social finesse , willingness to relocate and language capacity
are also determinant factora in assessing job qualifications . 92. Traditional beliefs do not in themselves explain the lingering
prevalence of outdated concepts in China . 93. Some lay the blame for falling exports squarely on financial
turmoil sweeping many Asian countries . The fact of the matter is
, however , that proportionate blame should be assigned to the lackadaisical
approach to developing new markets , failure to improve product
quality and government inaction in the realm of support . 94. We often ignore the real problem and instead search for a needle
in a haystack . Solving problems of any kind requires one to adopt
a direct approach which addresses all relevant issues . 95. Claiming a lack of opportunities is nothing more than a superficial
excuse for justifying failure . The fundamental reason for failure
is most often the lack of drive on the part of the individual involved
. 96. We can , and quite often do , blame our contemporaries for
personal failures , but the fact of the matter is that the root
causes for most problems go much deeper . 97. The rapidly emerging sexual revolution has been accompanied
by many disturbing trends . Perhaps the most serious consequences
center on the rapid spread of sexually transmitted diseases ( STDs
) , rising prostitution and the rise in AIDS cases . 98. The deep impact of opening to the outside world is readily
discernible in a number of areas : the adoption of many Western
habits , both good and bad ; changing social and moral values ;
the trend towards individualism ; and the introduction of state-of-the-art
concepts and technology . The key to adopting Western way centers
on accepting the good and rejecting the bad . 99. The arrival of the so-called " Information Age "
will undoubtedly have a profound influence on our lives . The task
at hand center on using the technology for beneficial purposes ,
while at the same time preventing intrusions of privacy and use
of the electronic highway for deceitful purposes . 100. No one can doubt that the reform and opening policies introduced
in 1979 have had a profound impact on the lives of Chinese citizens
. Changes resulting therefrom have not only impacted the economic
system , but the social system as well . 101. Effluent discharges of industrial wastewater and raw sewage
into rivers , lakes and inshore coastal areas have not only adversely
affected marine life and aquatic resources , but have also jeopardized
one of the major necessities for sustaining life—Potable Water . 102. It will have a direct bearing on the matter under discussion
. 103. Rapid economic growth may lead to an overextension of resources
and lead to an eventual catastrophic meltdown . 104. The immediate results of economic growth have created the
illusion of unending prosperity . The best approach at this particular
time is to perhaps err on the side of caution . 105. The benefits of technology are undeniable . Nonetheless ,
the fact that technology often negates the need for human beings
in the workplace deserves careful consideration and retraining programs
for affected individuals must be introduced . 106. The lack of faith in government is the direct result of the
prevailing distrust of politicians . 107. The advantages of harmonious relations far outweigh the disadvantages
of confrontation . 108. Independence offers many advantages , the first and foremost
of which is self-determination . 109. The contrast between right and wrong is highlighted by the
benefits accruing from the former . 110. The most striking conclusion that can be reached when weighing
the advantages and disadvantages of the market economy is quite
frankly prosperity . 111. The ridiculous amount of money some countries spend on military
hardware is absurd when considering the number of people starving
in many developing countries . 112. The loss of perquisites enjoyed by government officials and
business executives pales in comparison to the plight of refugees
in many war-torn countries . 113. While the long-term problem of global warming is indeed serious
, its significance diminishes somewhat when considering immediate
problems such as rapid environmental deterioration and the rampant
misuse and abuse of nonrenewable resources . 114. Owning a car might be preferable to owning a bicycle , but
the problems associated with owning the former far outweigh those
of the latter . For one thing , automobiles are exponentially more
expensive and require greater maintenance . For another , bicycles
don't pollute . 115. The advantages of family planning more than compensate for
the disadvantages . 116. Claims of gender equality are laced with contradictions .
The principal fallacy centers on the workplace and concept of equal
pay for equal work . Another , but no less important , aspect revolves
around the entry of women into top management positions . 117. Both limitations and problems will quite likely be encountered
during the ongoing transition to the market economy . For one thing
, urgent measures are required to resolve problems involving state-owned
enterprises . Another thorny issue involves controlling inflation
in the face of emerging market forces . 118. Will the Three Gorges Project prove to be a monumental achievement
or nothing more than a giant fiasco ? Opposition voices point to
drawbacks such as the massive cost of the project , the need to
relocate millions of local residents and destruction of the unique
natural environment . Supporters , on the other hand , contend that
the advantages—i.e. improved flood control , increased power generation
capacity and desirable impact on economic development in related
areas —will far outweigh the disadvantages . Time will tell and
history will judge the wisdom of the project . 119. Nothing approaches the love of a mother for her child . 120. Few scientific and technological achievements equal the success
of landing men on the moon . 121. A question begging an answer centers on whether violence is
more directly related to the innate characteristic of human being
, or whether it is simply a manifestation of the ills of society
. Determining the answer will be far from an easy proposition ,
but is nonetheless one that deserves careful and deliberate consideration
. 122. From the standpoint of success , a good work ethic is no less
important than an education . Success does , in fact ,depend on
the total integration of both aspects . 123. The growing trend for wives to work outside the home even
when their husbands are present and employed is in part a sharing
of the financial burden with the husband , and in part a reflection
of the need these women feel to have a measurable sense of personal
worth . 124. Just as honor is a prerequisite for respectability , so is
unblemished character a barometer of integrity . 125. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the same is true
for both the appreciation of art and music . 126. The direct correlation between self-esteem and success also
applies to one's ability to achieve . 127. Improving the plight of teachers is indeed a priority item
. However , improving the overall education system is likewise no
less important . 128. China and United States share many things in common . Firstly
, both are major world powers . Secondly , the two nations offer
mutually beneficial factors for development—China with its vast
potential market and labor force , and the U.S. with its advanced
technology and management expertise . 129. The shaky truce in the Middle East bears little resemblance
to the realization of ultimate peace . 130. Idleness spawns discontent , whereas overwork leads to mental
and physical exhaustion . 131. Large and small enterprises differ in that the former usually
involves conglomerates and the latter private individuals . 132. Both automobiles and bicycles offer a convenient means of
public conveyance , with one of the marked differences between the
two centered on pollution caused by the former . 133. Alcohol and tobacco are both highly addictive substances .
However , unlike tobacco , which is known to cause cancer , studies
indicate that alcohol does offer some health benefits when consumed
in moderation . 134. One man's treasure is another man's junk . 135. AIDS is no longer one of the Top 10 American killers , but
the same cannot be said for many countries . 136. Individualism was unheard of a short 30-odd years ago during
the tumultuous Cultural Revolution . Things have changed today ,
however ,with color returning to the streets of Chinese streets
, people gaining a greater degree of self-determination and reform
yielding monumental changes in traditional practices . 137. Social inequities of the past are rapidly giving way to expanded
social consciousness . 138. Many claim that the world's highly developed countries bear
sole responsibility for the plight of less-developed nations . I
seriously doubt their contentions will bear the brunt of close scrutiny
. 139. Although media reports expound on the volume of scientific
and technological achievements , recent surveys indicate that the
rapidity of transforming same into productive forces leaves much
to be desired . 140. The popular belief in the invincibility of man is constantly
rebuked by revaluations of man's fallibility . 141. While the inclination to procrastinate is common , one must
fully consider the detrimental impact of unnecessary delays . 142. The tendency to take things for granted is understandable
, but the need for one to rationally evaluate the circumstances
of any situation is absolutely essential . 143. Most people are under the illusion that a college degree guarantees
success . There is no such guarantee without hard work . 144. Some stubbornly hold to the correctness of traditional practices
, but in so doing they seem to totally ignore the fact that progress
depends on change . 145. Generally speaking , previous parliamentary policy debates
ignored the relevance of transparency . 146. A precise definition of poverty is actually very difficult
to determine . Where does one draw the line between those who are
poor and those who are not ? 147. Admittedly , bribery and corruption are endemic to our political
and economic systems , but it doesn't necessarily follow that all
politicians and business people resort to illicit behavior . 148. There's little doubt that a third World War is avoidable ,
but it is highly unlikely that regional conflicts will disappear
in the foreseeable future . 149. Some people assume that investing in stock is a safe pursuit
, but their assumption fails to hold water when considering the
substantial risk involved . 150. Some people have called for accelerated across-the-board changes
. Their approach quite frankly ignores the need for gradual but
effective changes . 151. There is undoubtedly an element of truth in assertions that
capital punishment is necessary , but proponents seem to ignore
the fact that the practice has failed to deter heinous crimes . 152. Many people assume that the extinction of a plant or animal
species is of little consequence . Careful examination , however
, reveals that the extinction of any one species disrupts the food
chain , and the loss of a plant species leads to the disappearance
of a key ingredient which might yield a cure for cancer . 153. At first glance , the characteristics of Bugs BUnny seem comical
. However , a closer examination reveals the cartoon character never
creates a problem , and instead simply hopes for quiet and peaceful
life . This suggests that cartoons most often teach children the
difference between good and evil . 154. Logically , calls for a New World Order sound valid , and
I whole-heartedly agree with some points , but the absurdity arises
when considering that the world's 200-odd nations have diverse agendas
when it comes to development and diplomacy . 155. In spite of claims to the contrary , it is common knowledge
that corporal punishment most often has the exact opposite affect
intended . 156. We were brought up to believe that the role of a man was to
provide and the role of a woman was to care for the household and
family . Today , however , role reversal is becoming increasingly
commonplace . 157. Some people tend to tenaciously cling to the misguided concept
of racial superiority . Their persistence in doing so , however
, does readily reveal the inferior mentality and social incompatibility
of certain human beings . 158. Some people claim the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine
( TCM ) far exceeds that of Western-style pharmaceuticals . More
often than not , however , the exact opposite is true . 159. Workers commonly complain that causes for labor disputes rest
solely on the shoulders of management . Quite likely the opposite
is true . 160. There are those who claim that competition brings out the
best in people . Others contend it simply forces one person to prove
he/she is better than another . Advocates vociferously support one
position or the other . I suggest the former proposition bears greater
relevance than the latter . 161. Claiming something is true misses the point , while presenting
verifiable fact proves its correctness . 162. Suggesting that one thing ... is better than another thing
... bears no more significance than insinuating that black is better
than white . 163. Ignoring cause and effect is exactly the same thing as failing
to look both ways when crossing a busy intersection . 164. One who advocates the rights of homosexuals should not be
surprised by the belligerent stance of opposition forces . 165. The greatest problem with political and religious zealots
is their total inability to consider the views of others . 166. The basic stumbling block to global peace rests with the self-serving
ambitions of many nations . 167. The overemphasis on one particular aspect of a problem often
obscures the relevance of other issues . 168. Any presumption that smoking is in anyway beneficial is totally
preposterous . 169. The fallacies of many arguments are quite obvious . 170. Arbitrarily dismissing the direct link between increasing
sexual promiscuity and the rapid spread of sexually transmitted
diseases would be foolhardy . An even more foolish mistake would
center on denying the need for extensive sex education programs
worldwide . 171. There is absolutely no reason for us to believe that a brighter
future for the world is an impossibility . 172. Meteorologists offer computer models leaving little doubt
that this year's El Nino phenomenon has disappeared . 173. Facts prove the unjustifiability of claims that China will
be unable to feed itself by the year 2020 . 174. Previous explanations of the rising divorce rate in China
are simply untenable . The fact is that many marriages were simply
based on convenience and wives are no longer willing to accept the
abusive domineering attitudes of husbands . 175. Claim that entering the Chinese market offers foreign companies
an immediate road to profits are grossly misstated and have been
proven wrong time and again . The key to entering China rests with
the phraseology " vast potential market " , and how long
one is willing to wait for returns . 176. Parents are not wrong in enforcing good study habits , but
they must not do so at the expense of stifling normal child development
. 177. It is quite reasonable to assume that modern science and technology
( S&T ) will continue to advance . It is no less reasonable
to believe that S&T will radically improve the way we live .
However , the same reasoning cannot be applied to improving social
interaction . 178. Belief in the wonders of modern medical science is quite understandable
. It is also quite possible that our faith in the ability of scientists
to find the key for prolonging life are well-founded . Yet , the
wisdom of prolonging life remains in question when considering the
already massive global population and projected future growth . 179. It is one thing to support euthanasia , but quite another
to offer any justification for genocide . 180. Claiming the need for censorship is one thing , but rationally

. 183. The necessity for nuclear nonproliferation seems clear . 184. It is perhaps more accurate to consider the family as a blanket
of security , rather than a cloak of bondage . 185. While generalizations are dangerous , it is quite safe to
present solid evidence . 186. It seems almost certain that China will achieve this year's
economic growth targets . 187. Reaching this year's growth targets is almost a certainty
. 188. The urgency of the situation makes it necessary to reiterate
the monumental problems of population growth . 189. A recent study revealed the surprising fact that many students
pass examinations by relying on nothing more than rote memorization
. It is horrifying to think that students graduate without a thorough
understanding of the subject matter . 190. Needless to say , advertising sells products . Where would
we be without it ? Shelves would be empty , consumers would have
few choices and products information would disappear . 191. The plain truth is that people are most often self-centered
. 192. There's little wonder why young people often find it difficult
to find an appropriate role model . No wonder they drink , smoke
, fright , carouse and otherwise engage in inappropriate social
behavior . 193. It should come as no surprise to learn that many abused children
become abusers later in life . 194. There is probably a great deal of truth in the assertion that
unecrupulous brokers are salivating at the thought of unsophisticated
investors entering the securities market . 195. There's little doubt that China has spawned a new generation
of " Little Emperors " , but the truth is that the fault
rests with parents who " spare the rod to spoil the child "
and not with children themselves . 196. There's little justification for objections to sex education
. In fact , even a minimal introduction to consequences of sexual
interaction ( the bird's and bee's ) might have dramatically changed
the lives of many people . 197. We can safely say that the world continues to turn and things
have changed dramatically , but we can never claim the world is
a safer place . 198. We can say this and we can say that , but the most important

conquest is the goat , but instead that unified efforts yield positive
results . 200. Historically speaking , our ancestors placed great emphasis
on filial piety . 201. It doesn't follow that one should abandon a workable plan
simply because of minor setbacks . So doing would quite frankly
be foolish . 202. One corrupt politician does not suggest that all politicians
are bad . Any such presumption is totally misguided . 203. Don't get the idea that money grows on trees , or that there's
such a thing as a free ride . 204. Along with interest in music comes a greater awareness of
culture . 205. It's not that I don't want to be rich and famous . Obviously
I do , but just haven't as yet found the way to get there . 206. If the claims of the other side prove true , we may be forced
to alter our position . 207. The urgent need for nuclear nonprolifeation is undeniable
. Moreover , failure to halt the spread of weapons of mass destruction
increases the chance for nuclear holocaust . 208. Having recognized the problem , it follows that we must develop
a plan of action . 209. Governments have reached a consensus on the need for peace
and it follows that actions speak louder than words . 210. The convincing proof that smoking causes cancer has failed
to convince hundreds of millions of people to abandon the vile habit
. 211. Traffic laws are of little use if drivers simply ignore them

techniques ; and consumers engaged in a concerted effort to reduce
unnecessary and exorbitant waste . 213. Effective flood control is not only necessary , but is also
essential for protecting the lives of millions of Chinese citizens
. 214. Simple expressions of indignation are no substitute for meaningful
actions to right a wrong . 215. Even modest increases in education allocations are better
than none . 216. The slightest miscalculations in trajectory can spell doom

abuse can be devastating upon the entire community . 220. Respect is given where respect is due . 221. It really doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white ,
but instead whether or not it can catch the mouse . 222. Whatever the outcome , we must resolutely proceed with our
odjective . 223. However great the will to achieve , and however great the
demand to succeed , one should never abandon his/her moral and social
consciousness . 224. However pressing the need and urgency of the problem one should
not proceed without a plausible plan . 225. Pising crime is often cited as a prime example of mounting
social decay . 226. Bill Gates , founder of Microsoft , is a classic example of
success . 227. Persistence pays off ! A case in point centers on the ongoing
negotiations and anticipated eminent resolution of the Middle East
peace process . 228. The advertisement is a perfect example of misleading content
designed to fool consumers . 229. The land for peace deal represents a concrete agreement which
will end conflict and bring stability to the Middle East . 230. We should gather additional facts to support exisiting evidence
and illustrate the correctness of the contention . 231. A few more examples should be added to highlight the already
familiar facts . 232. We can cite Nelson Mandela's experience as an excellent example
of overcoming adversity . 233. History abounds with great men worthy of adulation and emulation
. 234. I , for one , will steadfastly resist any attempts to justify
violence as a means to an end . 235. Take the " Gang of Four " as an example of a group
of zealots who attempted to usurp power to serve their own purposes
. 236. Racial cleansing serves as a case in point to illustrate the
lengths some people will go to prove their superiority . 237. We can safely assume that the indiscriminate acts of our generation
will have an adverse impact on future generations . 238. Recurring themes are readily discernible in the annals of
history . There's little doubt that history does , in fact , repeat
itself . 239. Numerous examples might be cited to support fallacious claims
, but they most often lack a relevance to the issue under discussion
. 240. I can think of nothing better than a nice cold beer on a hot
summer afternoon . 241. Perhaps there's no better example of high-level corruption
than the case of former Beijing Mayor Chen Xitong . 242. The airliner crash is seen as merely the tip of an iceberg
. 243. The importance of exercise to good health is only one example
of aspects of life people most often take for granted . 244. Just imagine how great the word would be if we would only
exhibit greater concern for our fellowman . 245. Suppose we're on a ship that hits an iceberg . Do we flip
a coin to see who gets the seat on the lifeboat , or do we resort
to violence to ensure our self-preservation ? 246. Let's just assume that we've been lifelong friends and while
you have food , I have none . Would you share your good fortune
with me , or would you let me starve ? 247. Just think of what would happen if one nuclear power launched
a preemptive on another . 248. There are many avenues to explore before we reach a final
decision . 249. It is rare to find a person willing to totally abandon the
comforts of life simply to help others . 250. We should point out that the evidence is purely circumstantial

the reconstruction program . 255. Some people criticize the United Nations for gross financial
mismanagement , but their accusations fail to detract from the fact

, as evidenced by statistics showing a dramatic rise in copycat
crimes . 272. The introduction of adcance agronomic techniques has contributed
greatly to the development of agriculture , as indicated by statistics
showing increased output in each of the past five years . 273. While it may appear that the gap between rich and poor people
is narrowing somewhat , recently released evidence suggests that
the opposite is true . 274. While attaining world peace remains within the realm of possibility
, the prevailing trend revolves around regional conflicts and internal
strife in many countries . 275. Although statistics are quite often far less reliable than
one might wish , other reliable information allows one to closely
approximate industrial output figures . 276. Although random sampling used for many surveys fails to cover
