1、英语四六级美文15篇 1 As the day of graduation draws near, college students have to make decisions about their future life. Whether one wants to become a postgraduate or look for a job largely depends on ones personal interests. For those who are eager to become economically independent and to put into pract

2、ice what they have learned in college, taking a job will be both satisfying and rewarding. For years, they have been using their parents money to support their education-and not without a sense of guilt. Moreover, at many times during their study, they must have been embarrassed by the lack of money

3、 or the guilty feeling of spending their parents money on luxuries. Getting established as a bread-winner after graduation is their main desire. Those, who want to take advantage of the favorable conditions in college, however, will try to enroll in graduate programs. For them, a Masters degree or e

4、ven a Doctoral degree represents a much more ambitious goal than a bachelors degree. In the same way, their lifetime success and interest lies more in academic achievements than in making money. As far as I am concerned, getting a higher degree has long been my dream. This is based on my belief that

5、 I should do more research and learn more while I am still young. 2There has been a dramatic increase in the average number of hours college students spend on the computer every week. According to reliable statistics, in 1990, students spent an average of only 2 hours a week on the computer, while t

6、he number increased to 20 hours by the year 2005. What has caused such an increase? First, computers are now widely used in our society, especially in universities. Nowadays, computers are used to write, read, calculate and even play games. Secondly, within a short space of time, computers have beco

7、me much cheaper. In the early 90s, a 286 would cost over 35,000 RMB. Now, you can buy a Pentium IV for only several thousand yuan. It is certainly a good phenomenon that more students are making use of computers in their studies. However, there are still some problems that should concern us. First,

8、many students use computers only to play games or chat on the Internet. Spending long hours sitting at the computer is bad for ones health and can also affects ones study. Second, students may become too dependent on computers and forget to learn basic skills. When asked to write compositions during

9、 a test, some students complain that they can not concentrate if they are not facing a computer and typing their compositions out. We should pay more attention to these problems and try to solve them so that computers will serve us better3 As is known to all, waste on campus has become a more and mo

10、re serious problem. We see many students dumping a lot of food into the garbage can. Some students spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes, cosmetics and so on. The negative effects of waste can be seen in the following respects: In the first place, it makes some students depend on their

11、parents for money, which is harmful to their development. If they dont learn to support themselves, they will be at a disadvantage when they graduate. In the second place, it is not easy for our parents to arrange our schooling. Last but not least importantly, there is no denying the fact that our c

12、ountry is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help. As far as I am concerned, I should set a good example to reduce waste on campus. First of all, I will refrain from wasting anything, from food to stationery. Whats more, Im determined to

13、 call on more schoolmates to fight against waste. Only through these measures can we hope to reduce waste on campus. 4 Nowadays, in an ever more competitive job market, both the employer and the applicant attach great importance to the job interview. The interview, so to speak, has become indispensa

14、ble for getting a satisfactory job. On the one hand, the interviewer can take advantage of the occasion to learn about the candidates, such as their work experience, education and their personalities, so as to pick out the right candidates for the company. On the other hand, the interviewee can make

15、 use of the opportunity to get to know the job he or she is going to take up, the credibility of the firm and the working conditions. Essential as it is, the job interview has nothing to be afraid of. Well begun, half done. An excellent performance in the interview will enable the would-be employee

16、to secure the job. But how can one succeed in it? First of all, the interviewee has to pay attention to his or her appearance. Though we can never judge a person by his appearance, the first impression is always where we start. Secondly, good manners are equally important. The interviewee must demon

17、strate his aptitude and skills for the job and knowledge about job-related areas; he must express himself clearly and confidently. Last but not least, the interviewee ought to be honest about his or her personal as well as academic background, for honesty is the best policy. To sum up, the job inter

18、view is indeed important. Remember that there is no need to be nervous. If the interviewee has made full preparations for it and given a fairly confident and honest performance, his or her success can be ensured. 5 Today more and more pirated books are seen on the market. Its difficult to find a pla

19、ce untouched by the presence of pirated books. Occasionally, the sellers and pirates are punished severely, but the number of pirated books is still on the rise. There are two main reasons for the prevalence of pirated books. Firstly, with the development of society, many people have realized the im

20、portant role of knowledge, which mainly comes from books. Therefore, quite a number of readers-especially people on low incomes-are interested in pirated books for the sake of their low prices. Whats more, some profiteers, regardless of the concerns of publishing houses, risk making and selling pira

21、ted books so as to make a fortune. As far as I am concerned, I am extremely disgusted with the pirated books because that there are many mistakes in them. Although they are much cheaper, theres no denying that most of them are printed badly. Its really high time that we strengthened controls and man

22、agement in order to eliminate pirated books. 6 With the rapid pace of economic development, counterfeit products are prevalent in China. On the one hand, some profiteers, regardless of peoples interest and health, are trying all means to make a fortune; they just take risks making and selling fake,

23、and poor-quality products. On the other hand, the punishments are not severe enough to deter the violators. As a result, markets are swarming with fake foodstuff, fake clothing, and even medicine. Fake commodities are extremely harmful to customers as well as to society generally. For instance, some

24、 people dreaming of becoming rich overnight made fake medicines, which resulted in the loss of many lives, causing great suffering to victims. The incident had a terrible influence on the customers. The fear of fake commodities is plunging people into worry, confusion and panic; they have no sense o

25、f safety. People even dare not buy genuine products of carrying the genuine brand. This has caused a great loss to the production and sales of genuine products. It is really high time that our government took some measures to prevent the production and sale of fake products. Anyone who produces or s

26、ells these products should be severely punished. Besides, customers should be educated about how to distinguish fake goods and how to protect themselves. Only in this way can we establish a healthy market and enjoy good social order. 7 Nowadays advertisements are very common. You can see all kinds o

27、f advertisements on TV. Some people feel that advertisements are generally helpful, yet others think them harmful. Since everything has two sides, advertisements have both advantages and disadvantages. The harmful effects of advertising are obvious. When you are enjoying very beautiful music on TV,

28、a commercial suddenly disturbs you. You are forced to watch the advertisement unless you change the channel or leave the room. Furthermore, some advertisements are filled with flowery words and empty promises, and people are easily misled and cheated. In general, however, advertising is of great ben

29、efit to society and individuals. When we go shopping, we may use it to compare prices, features, and the quality of products we want to buy. With advertisements, people can save a lot of time in looking for jobs, etc. All in all, the harmful effects and the helpful effects of advertisements are coex

30、istent, and we should not ignore them just because of their disadvantages. 8 Currently there is widespread concern in China over the wide gap between the rich and the poor. We are surprised to learn that a pop singer can make over a hundred thousand yuan for one performance overnight, while it may t

31、ake an average farmer a lifetime to earn that much. The cause lies in three aspects. First, the gap is the result of economic reform. Some seize the opportunities and become millionaires by working hard. Meanwhile the slow development in agriculture hinders farmers from raising their living standard

32、s and the closing of many state-owned enterprises results in unemployment, and people become poverty-stricken. Second, the current distribution of income is not scientific and reasonable, thus widening income differences. Third, while most make money honestly, there are some dishonest businessmen and government agents who have accumulated large fortunes in illegal ways. To narrow the gap, the government should take effective action to help the poor, and meanwhile strictly enforce laws to eliminate corruption in government. Furthermore, reform on income distribution should be car
