英语四级作文常见类型 从作文类型来看，对比选择类、现象解释类、问题解决类以及应用文类是考查的重点。 从题材来看，一般考查两类话题，一类是校园生活话题，包括学习、日常生活、工作及健康交际等;另一类是社会热点话题，考生对这类话题比较熟悉。两类相结合的趋势越来越大。 从体裁来看，一般包括议论文、说明文、图表作文和应用文写作(包括书信、便条、通知、海报等)。从近五年真题的趋势来看，议论文仍然是四级作文的考查重点。 从命题形式看，主要有提纲作文、情景作文、提示作文、图表作文、关键词作文等。其中最容易作为考题的是提纲作文、情景作文及图表作文。 四级作文主要写法 一、描述法 通过描述漫画、图表，来引出要讨论的问题 As the graph depicts ， … From the cartoon /picture ， we can see that … According to the statistics shown in the first /second graph ， The table shows / indicates / reveals that … It can be seen /concluded from the picture / table / figures that … 二、引用法 先引出名人名言或者有代表性的看法，来引出文章要展开论述的观点。 "Knowledge is " This is the remark made by B This remark has been shared by more and more "Education is not complete with " This is the opinion of a great American Now more and more people share his "" We often hear statements/words like those/ We often hear such traditional complains as this "" 三、比较法 通过对过去、现在两种不同的倾向、观点的比较，引出文章要讨论的观点。 For years， had been viewed as But people are taking a fresh look With the growing ， people People used to think that (In the past， ) But people now share this new 四、观点法 开门见山，直接了当地提出自己对要讨论的问题的看法。 Now people in growing/significant numbers are beginning/coming to realize/accept/(be aware) Now there is a(n)growing awareness/recognition of the necessity Now people become increasingly aware/conscious of the importance of Perhaps it is time to have a fresh look at the attitude/idea 五、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。 When asked ， the vast/overwhelming majority of people say that … But I think/view a bit When it comes to ， some people believe that… Others argue/claim that the opposite/reverse is There is probably some truth in both arguments/statements， but I tend to the former/ Now， it is commonly/generally/widely believed/held/acknowledged They claim/ believe/argue that But I wonder/doubt 六、现象法 引出要剖析的现象或者问题，然后评论。 Recently the rise in the problem/phenomenon of has cause/aroused public/popular/wide/ worldwide Recently the issue of the problem/phenomenon of has been brought into focus/into public Inflation/Corruption/Social inequality is yet another of the new and bitter truth we have to learn to face now/
