　　Judging from the reams of evidence,it is safe for me to conclude that psychologicalcomposition competition is the campus activity that has benefited me most.If it had not beenfor it,I could not have enjoyed myself so much.

　　范文譯文

　　正如一塊硬幣具有兩面性一樣，當問到“什么校園活動讓你最受益”的時候，不同的人會有不同的觀點。就我而言，我認為使我最受益的活動是心理征文比賽。

　　在我看來，有很多原因讓我形成這個觀點。其中，下面這些原因是最值得一提的。首先，也是最有價值的是因為這是我喜歡的領域。在這里我可以找到一個地方來傾吐自己的心聲，可能是對世界的，也可能是對自己的。這樣我就會覺得很輕松，有一個好的心情，并享受自己的生活。另外一個不能忽視的重要原因是，在這里我能欣賞到別人的優點，發現自己的缺點并進行彌補。最后，我可以在這個比賽中找到和我有同樣的思想和興趣的人，并成為好朋友。就拿我自己來說，我就是在心理征文比賽中找到了自己的知己。

　　根據上面提出的證據，我得出“心理征文比賽使我最受益”這個結論是很合理的。要是沒有這個活動，我不能如此的熱愛我的生活。

　　The Way to Success

　　“Give me six hours to chop down a tree , and I will spend the first four sharpening theaxe.”Abraham Lincoln once said. Although four hours seem to be quite a long time, it can helppeople chop down the tree more smoothly and less laboriously in the rest two hours. It isobvious that a full preparation can enhance the efficiency of trees-chopping.

　　The saying aims at informing us of the significance of adequate preparation. Definitely , wecan’t emphasize the importance of full preparation too much in our pursuit of success. A fullpreparation enables us to achieve our objectives and realize our dreams more smoothly andrapidly. The more preparation we make, the more likely we are to become confidence, reducethe risks of failure and seize the fleeting opportunities. For example, when graduates hunt forjobs, it is those who are well prepared that can surpass other candidates and get the offerfinally.

　　Accordingly, at no time should we overlook the power of preparation. Besides, we need toset up a proper goal, carry out a full investigation and elaborate a detailed plan before we takeactions. “Preparation breeds success.” Benjamin Franklin also once said. (200 words)

　　“給我留個小時砍掉一棵樹，那么我會花前面的四個小時來磨斧子。”亞伯拉罕.林肯曾經說過。雖然四個小時看起來是挺長的一段時間，然而它卻可以幫助人們在剩余的兩個小時內更加順利和省力地砍掉樹木。很明顯，充分的準備工作可以提高砍樹的效率。

　　這句話目的在于高速我們充分準備的重要性。確實，沒有人可以否認充分準備在我們追求成功過程中的重要性。充分準備可以使我們更加順利和快速地達成目標、實現夢想。我們做的準備越多，我們就更有可能變得自信、減少失敗的風險并且抓住稍縱即逝的機會。舉個例子，當畢業生在找工作的時候，正是那些做了充分準備的人才可以超越其他的候選人并且最終贏得工作機會。

　　因此，我們任何時候都不能忽略充分準備的重要性。并且，在我們采取任何行動之前，我們都應該設定合適的目標，展開充分的調查并且制定詳細的計劃。本杰明.富蘭克林也曾經說過：“成功孕育于準備當中。”

　　英語四級作文預測范文：青少年問題

　　From the picture given above, we can observe that there are two young men usingdifferent ways to show admiration towards their role model. By writing “Beckham” on his face,the man on the left picture expresses his intense enthusiasm for Beckham. Meanwhile, tomake himself resemble his idol, the man on the right picture spends 300 RMB making aBeckham’s hairstyle.

　　The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon that many adolescents admire theirrole models in an excessive and blind way. Quite a few reasons can account for this: for onething, with the mass media spreading the positive image of superstars, young people canhardly resist the charm of them. They regard superstars as their examples and desire to bepeople like them. For another, youngsters’ craze for superstars can also be attributed to theinfluence of the force of“group dynamics” :when members of their social networks show greatenthusiasm for some idols, young people are so easily influenced by their friends or classmatesand then imitate the behavior they see. This could be a subtle form of peer pressure.

　　We cannot draw an absolute conclusion whether idol-worship is good or bad. Simplyimitating role model’s dresses or behaviors, youngsters may lose themselves and it will definitelyinterfere with their personal life or studies. However，when learning idols’ diligence, spirit andambitions, young people can transform their worship towards idols into the passion for life,the stimulus to success and the driving force of struggling. Hence, whether idol worship ispositive or negative is up to youngsters themselves. (272 words)

　　參考譯文：

　　如圖所示，我們可以看到有兩個年輕人用不同的方式展現對他們的偶像的仰慕。通過把貝克漢姆寫在臉上，左邊這個人表達了對貝克漢姆的熱情喜愛。同時，為了使自己更加像偶像，右邊這個人花了300元錢做了貝克漢姆的發型。

　　這幅漫畫在于告訴我們一個現象，那就是，很多的青少年都以過度而盲目的方式崇拜偶像。相當多的理由可以解釋這個現象：首先，大眾傳媒傳播明星的積極形象，年輕人幾乎無法拒絕他們的魅力。他們將偶像當成自己的榜樣，并且渴望成為他們那樣的人。另外，年輕人對明星的崇拜也可以歸結為所謂的“群體動力學”的力量的影響：當他們社交網絡中的成員顯示出對某些偶像的巨大熱情，年輕人很容易受到他們的朋友和同學的影響并且模仿他們所看到的行為。這是一種同齡人壓力的潛在形式。

　　我們無法得出絕對的結論，是否偶像崇拜是好還是壞。如果只是模仿明星的穿著、行為，年輕人可能會失去自我，這很明顯會影響他們的個人生活和學習。然而，當他們學習偶像的勤奮、精神和上進心的時候，年輕人可以將偶像崇拜化為對生活的激情，成功的動力和奮斗的驅動力。因此，偶像崇拜是好是壞，由年輕人們自己決定。

　　Post-holiday Syndrome Among Students

　　With the gloomy prospect of returning to school, many students could suffer from post-holiday syndrome, which refers to a general feeling of depression before returning to campuslife, which is caused by irregular lifestyles during the holiday. Symptoms include fatigue, lackof appetite and concentration, irritability and a feeling of helplessness.

　　Various reasons can account for it. But most important of all, a large number of studentstend to overindulge themselves in eating, merrymaking and playing around during the holidays,which makes it difficult to adjust to their routine study schedule and life pace on the campus.

　　My suggestions to deal with this syndrome are as follows. First, exercising and sticking toa normal schedule over the holidays will make a difference and nip post-holiday syndrome inthe bud. Besides, it pays to return a few days earlier before the semester starts. The earlyreturn seems to have kept the holiday blues at bay.
