作文題目：綠色消費
Green Consumption
參考範文：
The conception of green consumption has gradually become popular in China. More and more green foods are making their appearance on the market and more and more people are becoming conscious of environmental protection.
However, there still exist quite a few difficulties in the further promotion of green consumption. On the one hand, many people are still not quite clear of the advantages of green foods. On the other hand, due to high profits, many fake green foods are found in the market. Moreover, many consumers don’t want to pay extra money for green foods.
There may be several ways to solve these problems. Firstly, the government should supervise the good quality strictly to protect consumers’ interests. Secondly, the conception of green consumption should be further promoted and emphasized. Thirdly, the government should work together with manufacturers to make the price more reasonable.

20XX年6月英語四級作文答案：試卷三父母應該決定子女的生活嗎
Should Parents Decide Children’s Life?
In this illustration, we can see that a teenage girl happily informs her mother of the news that she is admitted to the college which her mother has selected for her. The picture implies the great influence that parents have on their children’s decisions. Choosing college for them is a typical example.
It is evident that parents’ thoughts and behaviors shape how their children think and behave. However, in my opinion, it is inappropriate for parents to make every major life decision for their children. For one thing, each child is an individual with his own character. Children’s perceptions of life may be different from their parents’, so their choices may diverge. For another, parents cannot fully comprehend what their children want or need and therefore their decision is not necessarily the best choice for their children.
All in all, it is advisable that parents respect their children’s choices and let them be the masters of their own lives.
20XX年6月英語四級作文答案：科技與現代生活
參考範文：
This modern life
As is shown in the above picture, people sit in front of the computer all day and night, even in their dreams they’re still playing computer games. Such thought-provoking phenomenon is, especially among young people, prevail in our modern life.
It’s true that the computer has brought great convenience to our modern life. However, as is illustrated in the picture, the overuse of it may lead to several bad consequences. To begin with, there is evidence that long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted from computers may cause many health problems, like insomnia, headaches, and even cancer. In addition, when people immerse himself in the world of computer, they tend to pay less attention to the surroundings, and excessive use of the computer means much less chance of face-to-face interactions with people who populate their real lives.
In conclusion, while computers have contribute a lot to making our life more convenient, we should use them appropriately.
20XX年6月英語四級作文答案：父母在子女成長過程中的角色
題目：
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture
below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and
comment on parents’ role in their children’s growth. You should write at least 150
words but no more than 180 words.
“Good news mom! I was accepted to the college of your choice.”
範文：
As is clearly depicted in the above picture, a daughter tells his mother a piece of good news that she has been admitted to a university as her mother desires. There is no denial in saying that the cartoon leaves us such a deep impression that we can not help thinking over a question: What role should parents play in their children’s growth?
From my point of view, during the process of a child’s growth, the role of parents is mainly listed as the following two aspects. On one hand, there is no doubt that parents are liable to take good care of their children. On the other hand, in children’s personal growth, parents ought to play a role as a person who helps children develop self-dependence, which carries more significant to children’s future life. In other words, parents should encourage their sons or daughters to be independent rather than reliant on others.
To conclude, in children’s personal growth, parents are responsible to care for their children. However, considering that they will grow up and live their own life in some day, parents should enable their children to acquire the ability to be self-independent.
譯文：
如上所示，一個女兒告訴她媽媽有一個好消息：她已經考上媽媽爲她選擇的大學了。不可否認的是，這幅畫給我們留下了非常深刻的印象，因此我們禁不住要思考這樣一個問題，那就是，父母在子女成長過程中應該扮演什麼角色呢？
個人認爲，父母在子女成長過程中所扮演的角色主要有以下兩方面。一方面，毫無疑問，父母有責任照顧好自己子女。另一方面，在子女的成長過程中，父母應扮演幫助子女養成自立的角色，因爲自立對子女的未來成長是至關重要的。換句話說，父母應該鼓勵自己的孩子自力更生而不是依賴他人。
總之，在子女的個人成長過程中，父母有責任照顧好子女。然而，考慮到總有一天子女會長大成人，自己生活，因此父母應該讓子女養成自立更勝的能力。
20XX年6月英語四級作文答案：試卷二適度使用電腦
The comic reflects the image of our modern world in which technology has been an inseparable part of people’s daily life. As is shown, the man in the picture uses a laptop at work and home, for business and entertainment, so obsessed that he even dreams about bending over his laptop.
It is undeniable that this has been a common scene and the overuse of computers has aroused great concern. In my opinion, people should be cautious of the excessive use of computers for the following reasons. In the first place, it will inevitably affect people’s health if they sit before computers and stare at the screens for long hours, which may result in muscle pain and visual impair. Secondly, playing computers alone isolates people from others. Relationships in the real world are maintained through human contact and spending time with each other instead of chitchatting online. In summary, people should cut down their computer use for health and social reasons. Computers are not controllers but tools in our life.
