這篇小作文要求考生給英國的一位大學(xué)教授寫一封電子郵件,邀請他/她組隊(duì)參加在自己學(xué)校舉行的國際創(chuàng)新比賽,因此這是一封邀請信。電子郵件與書信一樣也是從稱呼開始寫起,我們不妨稱呼對方為Dear Professor Smith。郵件的正文寫三段。由于這是一封公務(wù)信函,與收信人并不熟悉,第一段可以先表明身份,比如自己是上海大學(xué)的學(xué)生會主席,接著表明寫這封郵件的目的——邀請他/她組隊(duì)參加將于今年七月在上海大學(xué)舉行的國際創(chuàng)新比賽。第二段介紹一下這次創(chuàng)新比賽的細(xì)節(jié),如比賽的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、主題、規(guī)則等,還可以介紹一下比賽期間的接待工作。第三段是一些客套話,如希望對方接受自己的邀請,期待早日收到回信等。郵件的最后是署名,寫在正文下方中間偏右的位置。署名分上下兩行,上一行可寫Yours sincerely,下一行寫Li Ming,上下對齊。下面請看參考范文:

2022年考研英語一的大作文繼續(xù)考查漫畫作文。要寫好漫畫作文,我們首先要仔細(xì)觀察漫畫,弄清漫畫的寓意。在本題的漫畫中,我們可以看到兩個(gè)女生站在一張校園講座的海報(bào)前,一個(gè)女生說這次講座不是她們專業(yè)的,聽了也沒多大用;而另一個(gè)女生卻認(rèn)為聽聽總會有好處。這幅漫畫的寓意是廣泛涉獵各方面的知識對學(xué)生很重要。
我們可以把這篇作文寫成三個(gè)段落。第一段先描述漫畫,然后指出漫畫的寓意。根據(jù)寫作指令的要求,描述圖畫要簡潔,一般只需要兩三句話。第二段論證漫畫的寓意,即廣泛涉獵對學(xué)生很重要。本段是文章的重心所在,要充分展開、詳加論述。我們不妨從學(xué)術(shù)和職業(yè)兩個(gè)方面展開論述。首先,拓寬知識面可以激發(fā)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)造性。因?yàn)閯?chuàng)新往往源于把看似無關(guān)的事物聯(lián)系起來。比如,航空工程師在設(shè)計(jì)直升機(jī)時(shí)就從蜻蜓的飛行方式中獲得了靈感。其次,學(xué)習(xí)新的技能會給大學(xué)生更多的工作選擇。然后舉出具體例子進(jìn)行論證:一位朋友在讀大學(xué)期間是戲劇俱樂部的活躍成員,他在獲得法學(xué)文憑后進(jìn)入了娛樂業(yè),現(xiàn)在成為一名成功的演員。
第三段先總結(jié)全文,指出廣泛的知識讓大學(xué)生更有創(chuàng)造性,并且有助于他們的職業(yè)發(fā)展。最后建議大學(xué)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生積極探索自己專業(yè)以外的興趣。下面請看參考范文:
In the drawing above, one student, after reading a poster for a lecture,remarked that it was useless for them to attend the lecture, as it had little to do with their major.The other student, however, held the opposite view, saying that it was important to go to the lecture.Obviously, the drawing is aimed at emphasizing the benefits of dabbling in different fields.
Pursuing interests in a variety of fields benefits college students academically and professionally.First, learning new things fuels creativity.This is because innovation often comes from making connections between seemingly unrelated things.For instance, aeronautic engineers have drawn inspiration from the way a dragonfly flies in designing helicopters.Also, acquiring new skills gives college students more job options.My friend Len is a good example.An active member of the drama club while at college, he entered showbiz after earning his degree in law.Now he is a successful actor.
An extensive knowledge fosters creativity in college students and advances their career.Therefore, it is advised that universities encourage students to actively explore interests outside their own major.(184 words)
語言亮點(diǎn)借鑒:
1.Obviously, the drawing is aimed at emphasizing the benefits of dabbling in different fields.顯然,這幅畫的目的是強(qiáng)調(diào)涉獵各個(gè)領(lǐng)域的益處。dabble in涉獵。
2.Pursuing interests in a variety of fields benefits college students academically and professionally.在不同的領(lǐng)域追求興趣愛好有益于大學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)和事業(yè)。本句是第二段的主題句,為全段的展開指明了方向。
3.First, learning new things fuels creativity.首先,學(xué)習(xí)新事物激發(fā)創(chuàng)造性。fuel刺激,激發(fā)。
4.An active member of the drama club while at college, he entered showbiz after earning his degree in law.他在讀大學(xué)的時(shí)候就是喜劇俱樂部的積極分子,在獲得法律學(xué)位之后他進(jìn)入了娛樂業(yè)。an active member of是一個(gè)名詞短語,做句子主語he的同位語,放在句首是為了增加句子的節(jié)奏感和平衡感。
5.Therefore, it is advised that universities encourage students to actively explore interests outside their own major.因此,建議大學(xué)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生積極探索自己專業(yè)之外的興趣。 □
