本题由图画中女儿的说话 “Good news mom! I was accepted to the college of your choice.” 引出话题,探讨家庭生活中父母为子女做决定的现象。这一话题没有明确的正误指向,要求考生首先对图画进行描述,再确立自己的观点,提出论点和论据。

大学英语四级考试作文一般与生活实际相联系。本题考查的难点在于要求考生提出对父母为子女做决定这一现象的思考,赞同要有赞同理由,反对要有反对的论据,中立也要写出中立的点在哪里。切忌停留在父母为子女做决定这一现象的表面描述。

正如我们在考前押题中所讲,此题建议考生采取三段式写作。

三段式:

第一段:简要描述图画内容(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.) + 拉到自己较熟悉的结论观点(The picture implies the great influence that parents have on their children’s decisions. Choosing college for them is a typical example.) = 引出下一段

第二段:确立观点(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.) + 两方面原因(For one thing/For another)

第三段:All in all… 提出建议,重申观点。

以上为英语四级作文点评,大家注意审题清楚,先确立论点和论据再下笔。希望大家总结经验,下次考得更高!
