2019年12月的大學(xué)英語四級考試的三道作文題目要求考生給一位外國朋友寫一封信，本題要求向外國朋友推薦一個學(xué)習(xí)漢語的城市。大學(xué)英語四、六級考試的書信只需包括三個部分：稱呼、正文、署名。由于這是一封寫給朋友的私人信函，稱呼可以直呼其名。比如，我們假設(shè)這位外國朋友名叫Alex，稱呼就可以寫Dear Alex。

這封書信的正文可以寫成三個段落。第一段交代寫這封信的目的——向?qū)Ψ酵扑]一個學(xué)習(xí)漢語的城市。第二段首先建議朋友到北京學(xué)習(xí)漢語，然后陳述理由。為了使作文的字?jǐn)?shù)達(dá)到規(guī)定要求，我們可以從三個方面詳述理由。首先，北京有許多一流高校，是中國的文化中心，在北京學(xué)習(xí)漢語可以深入了解中國文化。其次，普通話以北京語音為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)音，在北京可以學(xué)到純正的漢語發(fā)音。最后，除了園林和博物館之外，北京還有許多歷史古跡可以參觀，在北京不會感到無聊。第三段是一些客套話，如希望自己的建議對朋友有用，請他早日回信，期待在北京見到他等。這些客套話能讓書信顯得有禮貌，是英文書信中不可或缺的一部分。

正文下面是署名。署名一般寫在信紙的中間偏右的位置，分兩行書寫，上下對齊。由于這是一封寫給朋友的信，上一行可寫Yours truly（或Truly yours），下一行寫你的名字，如Li Ming。下面請看參考范文：

Dear Alex，

It was very nice to hear from you again. You asked me to recommend a city for you to study Chinese in. Im now writing to make some suggestions.

Id like to recommend Beijing， the capital city of China. Home to a number of the countrys most prestigious universities， it is the cultural centre of China. You can therefore gain an insight into the Chinese culture studying in Beijing. Also， residents here speak a dialect of Mandarin Chinese which forms the basis of Standard Chinese. A perfect language environment， isnt it？ Additionally， apart from gardens and museums， the city boasts a lot of historical sites. You will never feel bored， for there is always somewhere to go.

I hope my advice is helpful to you. Please reply soon. I am looking forward to seeing you in Beijing.

Yours truly，Li Ming （143 words）

For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of having a sense of community responsibility. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

本題要求考生論述具有社區(qū)責(zé)任感的重要性。我們在下筆寫這篇作文之前要仔細(xì)審題。在本題中，community的意思是all the people living in a specific locality。因此，它所指的范圍比society小。我們居住的小區(qū)、就讀的學(xué)校、工作的單位、生活的城市都可以看作是一個community。所以在論述具有社區(qū)責(zé)任感的重要性時，我們要更加側(cè)重于對自己周邊的人的責(zé)任。

本文宜寫成三個段落。第一段給社區(qū)責(zé)任感下一個通俗的定義，讓讀者知道本文論述的對象是什么。簡單地說，社區(qū)責(zé)任感就是一個人認(rèn)識到自己對所生活地區(qū)的其他人負(fù)有責(zé)任和義務(wù)。第二段論述具有社區(qū)責(zé)任感的重要意義。論述可以從兩個方面展開：第一，具有社區(qū)責(zé)任感，我們就會通過慈善捐助或者做志愿者工作使世界變得更加美好，小小的善舉可以改變這個世界。第二，社區(qū)責(zé)任感會增加我們自己的幸福感。俗話說，“授人玫瑰，手有余香”。比如，做志愿者工作會讓我們減少壓力、結(jié)識同道、忘掉自己的煩惱，從而感覺更加幸福。第三段先總結(jié)全文，指出強(qiáng)烈的社區(qū)責(zé)任感能改善世界并增加我們的幸福感，然后建議開展一場宣傳活動，在全社會提倡社區(qū)責(zé)任感。下面請看參考范文：

A sense of community responsibility refers to an awareness of ones obligations towards other members of his or her community. It is of special importance in a world that is far from perfect.

Why is a sense of community responsibility so important？ The answer is quite simple. Inspired by a sense of community responsibility， you can make the world a better place， whether by donating to charities or by becoming a volunteer. Any little act of kindness can make a big difference. Whats more， a sense of community responsibility boosts your happiness. Just as fragrance lingers in the hand that gives roses， volunteering in the community helps you reduce stress， meet like-minded people and take your mind off your own worries. Research has identified a link between volunteering and an increased sense of happiness.

A strong sense of community responsibility contributes to the betterment of the world and an increased feeling of well-being. It is therefore advised that a campaign be launched to encourage a sense of community responsibility in our society. （172 words）
