　　Income Sources Between Chinese Students and American Students

　　Income sources of Chinese students are quite different from those of American students. In China, students get 90% of their money from their parents while in America, only 50% of students` money is provided by parents. In addition, Chinese students earn only 5% of their money from part time jobs and 5% from fellowship or scholarship while income from these two resources for American students takes up 35% and 15% respectively of their total income.

　　I think there are probably three reasons for their differences. First, because of the influence of different social and family values,Chinese students have formed the habit of asking for money from their parents while American students have developed more sense of being financially independent. Second, most Chinese parents devote too much care to their children and they would rather save up to afford their children�餾 education rather than encourage them to take part�瞭ime jobs.But in America, many parents pay more attention to developing the students�� ability of self�瞨eliance,so they encourage their children to find part�瞭ime job to earn some money by themselves. Third, since America is more developed than China,it is relatively easy for students to find part�瞭ime jobs.In China,such opportunities are rather rare.

　　I believe with the development of China, more and more Chinese students will realize and pay more attention to the necessity of self�瞕ependence. In addition, more and more opportunities will be provided for them to take part�瞭ime jobs. So more students will go out of the ivory tower to broaden their knowledge and to become the master of their own lives.

　　作者在這篇圖表作文中很好地利用了圖表以及題目中所給的提示，文章結(jié)構(gòu)完整，意思表達(dá)清楚，較好地完成了一篇圖表作文所應(yīng)該表達(dá)的內(nèi)容。

　　第五節(jié)命題作文

　　命題作文要求就所給的作文題目進(jìn)行寫作。與其他作文相比，命題作文具有較大的自主性。因為同樣的一個題目可以從不同的角度、用不同的文體來進(jìn)行寫作。例如“My Teacher”這個題目可以寫成一篇記敘文，也可以寫成一篇描寫文。不管用什么文體，也不管從哪個方面來寫，只要寫出的文章切題、流暢、條理清楚、語言正確就是一篇好文章。然而，這種較大的自主性也會使考生感到困難。因為在有限的30分鐘之內(nèi)，要形成提綱，并寫成短文并不是件易事。這就要求考生在寫命題作文時首先一定要審好題，要仔細(xì)分析題意，搞清楚題目所涉及的范圍，確定文章的中心思想，切忌跑題。再者，要選擇正確的文體。最后，要圍繞文章的中心思想，將寫作素材進(jìn)行分析、歸類并寫好寫作提綱，包括：引言句、主題句和結(jié)尾句。

　　[例1]Fake Commodities

　　Markets all over the country are swamped with fake and poor commodities. This has harmed greatly the state�餾 interests and people�餾 health. For example, false poison made in a factory not only can�餿 kill mice, but also gives them immunity and makes them healthier.

　　The cause of this serious situation is that some enterprises only want to get benefit. What�餾 more,some local governments, for the purpose of local protection, don�餿 investigate such activities,on the contrary, they even support them. The judicial organs don�餿 punish the offenders strictly.

　　We hold that the whole society should pay greater attention to these illegal activities, and these illegal activities should be punished according to the law. The leaders in charge should take effective measures to stop these harmful activities. Consumers should learn to protect their own interests, and not to buy fake commodities. In this way, we can at last wipe out fake commodities and leave no room for them.

　　作者把這個題目寫成了一篇說明文。一開始先指出了假冒偽劣產(chǎn)品的危害。接下來分析了這一情況產(chǎn)生的原因，最后呼吁全社會都來關(guān)注這個問題。

　　[例2]Haste Makes Waste

　　There is an old Chinese saying,“Haste makes waste.”It was true in the past, and it is still true in many cases today.

　　Usually, if you act faster, you can reach your goals earlier. But it isn�餿 always the case. If you emphasize only on speed but ignore the quality of your work, you will get the opposite result. Suppose you are preparing for your final examination. You have so many things to do that you don�餿 have enough rest. You have to read and write continuously. The result is that your brain is less and less efficient, and the situation goes from bad to worse. All your efforts become fruitless. On the contrary, if your preparation follows a carefully worked out plan，your work will be effective. Consequently you will take part in the examination confidently.

　　Whatever you do, please remember the saying—Haste makes waste. If you can properly understand its meaning, you’ll benefit a lot from it.

　　作者在文章的開頭通過重復(fù)作文的題目巧妙地點了題，接下來用具體的事例來說明這一眾所周知的道理。

　　第六節(jié)書信體作文

　　書信是一種應(yīng)用非常廣泛的應(yīng)用文形式之一。英文書信的種類很多，但可以把它們歸為兩大類，一類是私人書信(personal letters)，另一類是事務(wù)書信(business letters)，例如：申請信、求職信、推薦信、證明信、感謝信等。英文書信的書寫有一定的格式。一封完整的書信應(yīng)包括寄信人的地址和日期;收信人的姓名和地址;稱呼、正文、結(jié)尾和簽名。

　　一、書信的格式

　　英文書信的格式與漢語不盡相同，具體表現(xiàn)在信封的寫法和英文信的結(jié)構(gòu)兩方面。
