my view on online education.

being online is no longer something new or fresh in our life. to some extent, it has become part of our daily life. we can do a lot of things online, such as searching for information and communicating with friends far away. but recently another helpful online activity has become very “in”. that is online education.

why could online education be so popular within such a short period of time? among other reasons, the quick development of the internet should be an essential one, which makes all our dreams of attending class in the distance possible. another underlying reason is the quick development of both society and technology. today, modern science and technology is developing with fantastic speed. to catch up with this development we all feel an urgent and strong desire to study. however, due to the great pace of modern society, many people are too busy to study full time at school. online education just comes to their aid.

personally, i appreciate this new form of education. it’s indeed a helpful complement to the traditional educational means. it can provide different learners with more flexible and versatile ways of learning. best of all, with online education, we can stick to our jobs and at the same time study and absorb the latest knowledge.

点评：英特网的迅速发展改变了人们的生活和学习、工作方式，现代生活节奏快、工作忙导致人们没时间全日制的学习，网络和远程教育正好满足了人们的学习需要，许多大学生利用因特网学习知识，它成为传统教学的有益补充。本预测题贴近时代，也与大学生校园生活相关，值得重视。

pollution: an increasing concern in china

it is reported that ten big cities in china are being ranked among the top twenty cities with the highest pollution index in the world. this means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.

many factors are contributing to the deteriorating situation: industrial wastes pumped into the air, the lakes and rivers; a increasing number of automobiles crowding into the streets; the widespread use of plastic bags etc.
to my view, stiffer laws and regulations must be implemented to check pollution. industries that release wastes without permission should be heavily fined. cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air. and the use of plastic bags and disposable meal boxes should be banned. what’s more, the media should play an important role in implanting a sense of environmental consciousness into people’s mind.

if everybody works toward a common goal of making the environment better, we can create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.

点评：该预测题为社会热点话题，也是四级命题作文经常关注的环境问题，值得引起重视。本文属于解释性说明文的写作，主题是“污染”。

预测二十八

for this part, you are required to write a composition about 120 words on the topic: changes in people’s daily expenses. your composition should be written on the following table and chinese given below.

1. 描述图表中人们每天开支变化情况

2. 请说明发生这些变化的原因

3. 结合图表对未来作出合理的预测

changes in people’s daily expenses.

what is shown in the table above indicates that dramatic changes have taken place in the people’s daily expenses from 1995 to 1999. the expenses on food have declined by 30% while those on clothing and recreation have increased respectively by 9% and 7% . the statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but closely related to one another .

there are two factors accounting for these changes. development in economy is an essential one in the five years. the increased income resulting from economic growth plays an important part in the less expense on food. hence, a small percentage of total income is enough to cover food expense. another one is the changes in life style. when food presents no worry to the average, people begin to focus more of interest on handsome appearance and happy leisure time . as a result of such a shift, spending on clothing and recreation increases year after year.

from the analyses made above, we may come to the conclusion that people’s living standards have been constantly improved between 1995 and 1999. with the further growth in economy and more changes in life style, the tendency indicated in the table will continue in the better direction .

点评：该预测题属于图表作文写作，与社会生活密切相关，与1991年6月份四级考试人们饮食结构的变化图表作文写作类似。根据四级图表作文命题规律，第一段描述人们1995到1999年日常开支所发生的巨大变化；第二段分析产生变化的原因；最后一段依据图表所示变化作出了合乎逻辑的预测。文章紧扣主题，条理清楚，语言连贯，表述准确规范，结论合理。

预测三十

directions: for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic choosing an occupation. you should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in chinese:

1. 选择职业是一个人要面对的众多难题之一。

2. 需要花时间去选择职业。

3. 选择职业时可以向多人寻求建议和帮助。

choosing an occupation

one of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. there are some people, of course, who from the time they are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.

choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. you may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.

fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. at most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to give you detailed information about job qualifications. and you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.
