But nowadays there are many dishonest cases in society.
13、 Some businessmen cheat their customers for higher profits. Some employees cheat their bosses for higher positions. Some people cheat their friends for more money. Even some government officials cheat their people for more interests. These phenomena anger every person of integrity. Then, why do they
14、 come into being?This may be because these people believe that nobody will find out their dishonesty. However, eventually their customers will come to purchase their products no more, their bosses will dismiss them, their friends no longer help them in case of their crisis, and their people will rem
15、ove them from office. They pay the price for their own behavior. Therefore, everyone should be honest, which benefits not only himself but also others.2004 年 1 月六级作文1有些大学校园浪费现象日益严重2浪费的危害3杜绝浪费,从我做起Reduce Waste on CampusNowadays, there is an increasingly serious phenomenon on campus-waste.

20、is becoming unprecedentedly visible in China. Any products, like tapes, CDs and hi-tech devices, can be copied, not to mention books. Shortly after a newly-published book hits the shelves, people will unsurprisingly find its pirated counterparts in the stores.It has been widely believed that piracy
21、has caused a great loss to legitimate producers, inventors and authors in many ways. To start with, pirated products often cost much less than the original ones, so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price in spite of their relatively poor quality. The original ones, on the contrary, sell badly. As
22、far aspirated books are concerned, they do great harm to the authors reputation due to their misprints. In the long run, pirated products may also have a negative impact on customers since those legitimate producers enthusiasm may be greatly hurt by the fact that some customers are more inclined to
23、purchase pirated products.In my opinion, its high time that the government called on everyone to start the battle against piracy.

Another five years later, in 2005, the number dramatically tripled, reaching a surprising peak of more than 120,000. We can see clearly more and more people traveling abroad in the last ten years.One rea
27、son for this drastic increase can be attributed to the booming of Chinese economy in these years, which has significantly raised the income of the people. With more savings in their bank accounts, people no longer regard traveling abroad as a luxury which they could hardly afford before. This may al
28、so be due to the rapid development in the social culture in China, which have greatly broaded the horizons of the Chinese people and have made them more interested in the outside world. Indeed, few people now can resist the temptation of the sunlight in Thailand, the mysteries in Egypt and the beach

33、ow2+how3”的方式,提纲 2 则可以采取“主题句(问题的解决方案)+why1(原因一)+why2+why3”的方式。而对于2001 年 1 月四级作文,同样可以两段布局且都详写。其中,第一段采用“主题句(作用)+waht1(什么作用)+waht2+what3”的方式,第二段则可以采用如下图示的复合模式来写作,从而避免简单例举各种解决方案的单调(作文的例子参见历年真题范文) 。How1 why主题句 How2 whyHow3 why例如:2000 年 1 月四级作文Directions: For this part ,you are allowed thirty minutes to wr

Maybe, the most possible way is 6to ask parents for the greater part of tuitions and fees with the rest paid by students themselves by doing a part-time job.From my point of view, I will ch
