参考范文：
some people believe that attending a college or university in a foreign country has many advantages. they think that attending a college or university abroad can help them learn more than they can from universities in their own country, especially when they go to a developed country where they can catch up with the pace of scientific and technical advance of the world from that country s modern lab facilities. in addition, they can pick up the latest developments of the living language there more quickly, develop their ability of coping with the routine matters such as finding a part-time job, renting a house and helping with the house work, and learn many new things to widen their views and broaden their minds.
but some people dont agree to it. they think that attending a college or university in foreign country also has many disadvantages and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. they hold that students studying in a foreign country will have more difficulties in both life and study. the most serious problem is the language barriers. they have to spend much time learning a foreign language and even if they have learned the language, they still can t understand thoroughly what the foreigners and teachers say just because of the unfamiliar culture background and social cu

some people like to eat out at food stands and restaurants, while others like to prepare food at home. often it depends on the kind of lifestyle people have. those with very busy jobs outside the house don’t always have time to cook. they like the convenience of eating out. overall, though, it is cheaper and healthier to eat at home.
while eating in restaurants is fast, the money you spend can add up. when i have dinner at restaurant with a friend, the bill is usually over twenty dollars. i can buy a lot of groceries with that much money. even lunch at a fast-food stand usually costs five or six dollars for one person. that’s enough to feed the whole family at home.
eating at home is better for you, too. meals at restaurants are often high in fat and calories, and they serve big plates of food--much more food than you need to eat at one meal. if you cook food at home, you have more control over the ingredients. you can use margarine instead of butter on your potatoes, or not put so much cheese on top of your pizza. at home, you can control your portion size. you can serve yourself as little as you want. in a restaurant, you may eat a full plate of food ^v^because you paid for it^v^.
it’s true that eating out is convenient. you don’t have to shop, or cook, or clean up. but real home cooking doesn’t have to take a lot of time. there are lots of simple meals that don’t take long to make. in fact, they’re faster than eating out, especially if you think of the time you spend driving to a restaurant, parking, waiting for a table, waiting for service, and driving home.
both eating at restaurants and cooking at home can be satisfying. both can taste good and be enjoyed with family and friends. i prefer cooking at home because of the money and health issues, but people will make the choice that fits their lifestyle best.
many people visit museums when they travel to new places. why do you think people visit museums? use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

[文章部分]
harvard business school professor george lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,” and to some in the united states, such resignations look cowardly. however, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many us managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the japanese sense of responsibility, if, for instance, us automobile company executives offered to reduce their own salaries before they asked their workers to take pay cuts, negotiations would probably take on a very different character.
[单词学习]
acceptance n.接受, 承诺, 容忍, 赞同, 相信
resignation n.辞职, 辞职书, 放弃, 顺从
cowardly adv.胆怯地
evade v.规避, 逃避, 躲避
executive adj.实行的., 执行的, 行政的 n.执行者, 经理主管人员

专八英文写作策略
what is good writing?
什么样的文章是好文章?
it depends on what country you’re from. we all know what’s considered “good writing” in our own country. we grow up immersedin the cadencesand sentence structure of the language we were born into, so we think, “that’s probably what every country considers good writing; they just use different words.” if only! i once asked a student from cairo, “what kind of language is arabic?” she said, “it’s all adjectives.”
这取决于你来自何处。我们都知道在自己的国家好文章是什么样的。我们从小到大，已经熟知我们 母语的抑扬顿挫和句子结构，于是我们认为，其他国家所谓的好文章也应该是这样，只不过用的语言不同。要是这样就好了!我有次问一个来自开罗的学生：“阿拉 伯语是什么样的语言?”她回答说：“都是形容词。”
well, of course it’s not all adjectives, but i knew what she meant: it’s decorative, it’s ornate, it’s intentionally pleasing. but all those adjectives and all that decoration would be the ruin of any journalisttrying to write good english. no proverbs, please.
当然，不可能都是形容词，我知道她的意思：阿拉伯语是一种注重雕饰和阅读快感的语言。但是太多形容词和太多雕饰都不利于英文的新闻写作。千万别使用那么多谚语。
spanish also comes with a heavy load of beautiful baggagethat will smotherany journalist writing in english.
西班牙语也一样，有太多 不利于英文写作的修饰语。
english is not as musical as spanish, or italian, or french, or as ornamentalas arabic, or as vibrantas some of your native languages. but i’m hopelessly in love with english because it’s plain and it’s
if i could change one thing about my hometown, i thinkit would be the fact that theres no sense ofcommunity here. people dont feel connected, theydont look out for each other, and they dont get toknow their neighbors.
people come and go a lot here. they change jobsfrequently and move on. this means that they dont put down roots in the community. they dontjoin community organizations and theyre not willing to get involved in trying to improve thequality of life. if someone has a petition to put in a new street light, she has a very hardtime getting a lot of people to sign. they dont feel it has anything to do with them. they dontget involved in improving the schools because they dont think the quality of education isimportant to their lives. they dont see the connection between themselves and the rest of theircommunity.
people dont try to support others around them. they dont keep a friendly eyes on theirchildren, or check in on older folks if they dont see them for a few days. theyre not awarewhen people around them may be going through a hard time. for example, they may not know if aneighbor loses a loved one. theres not a lot of community support for individuals.

nowadays, food has become easier to this change improved the way people live?use specific reasons and examples to supportyour answer.
the twentieth century has brought with it manyadvances. with those advances, human lives havechanged dramatically. in some ways life is worse, butmostly it is better. changes in food preparationmethods, for example, have improved our lives greatly.
the convenience of preparing food today is stoves have gotten too slow for us. microwave cooking is much easier. we can press a fewbuttons and a meal is completely cooked in just a short time. people used to spend hourspreparing an oven-cooked meal, and now they can use that time for other, better things. plus,there are all kinds of portable, prepackaged foods we can buy. heat them in the office microwave,and lunch at work is quick and easy.
food preparation today allows for more variety. with refrigerators and freezers, we canpreserve a lot of different foods in our homes. since technology makes cooking so much faster,people are willing to make several dishes for even a small meal. parents are more likely to letchildren be picky, now that they can easily heat them up some prepackaged macaroni and cheese onthe side. needless to say, adults living in the same house may have very different eating habitsas well. if they don’t want to cook a lot of different dishes, it’s common now to eat out atrestaurants several times a w...

some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. which point of view do you agree with? use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.
参考范文：
some people may believe that going to classes should be optional, but i disagree. i don’t understand how university students can expect to learn anything if they don’t attend classes. personal experience can help people learn about themselves and the world outside the classroom, but when it comes to learning about academic subjects, students need to be in class.
in class they receive the benefit of the teacher’s knowledge. the best teachers do more than just go over the material in than class textbook. they draw their students into discussion of the material. they present opposing points of view. they schedule guest speakers to come, give the students additional information, or show documentary films on the subject.
also, attending classes on any subject teaches more than just facts. it teaches students how to learn, how to absorb information and then apply what they’ve learned to other situations. their teacher is the best one to help them with these skills. they can’t learn them just by reading the textbook.
going to class also teaches students how to work with the other members of the class. many times students will be given group assignments. this is different from what they did in secondary school. here they’re with people from different backgrounds and experiences. in this situation, they learn how to handle working with people different from themselves to achieve a common goal.
going to class also teaches students responsibility and discipline. having to be at a particular place at a particular time prepares them for getting a job. being at a place on time with an assignment completed prepares them for a career.
in short, by going to class students learn more than just information from the teacher. they also learn how to learn, how to work with others, and how to work responsibly. these are not optional skills in life, so attending classes should not be optional in college.

while physical exercise is important, i do not believe that it is the school’s responsibility to provide physical training for its students.
that is something that everyone can take care of on his or her own.
many students get plenty of physical exercise as part of their daily life or recreation. a student who bicycles ten miles to and from school does not need more exercise. a good physical education program must take a student’s outside activity into consideration. otherwise, some students will spend valuable class hours repeating physical exercise.
if a school offers such activities, it also suggests that students will be graded on them. the range of possible physical activities is great: football, swimming, weight lifting, ballet, ballroom dance, yoga, skiing, horseback riding, and golf are just a few. however, the number of activities that a school could offer is small. some students could get bad grades in physical education simply because the school could not provide an activity they enjoy or do well. this seems unfair. research suggests that participation, not excellence, in these activities determines the physical benefits the body will get.
another issue is economic. many schools do not have the money to provide gry facilities, playing fields, and athletic equipment for their student. other schools are located in cities where the kind of space just is not available. a few schools would rather keep money for academic purposes.
schools can certainly encourage physical activity. they can provide space for activities, events, and classes for physical activities. they can encourage students to plan time away from academic studies to get some exercise. however, i think that providing exercise should not be the schools responsibility.

part v writing (45 min) with the continued growth of online teaching systems and integration of massive open online courses (moocs) into higher education, college study will never be the same for both professors and students. the following are opinions from both sides. read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize briefly the opinions from both sides;
2. give your comment.
marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
university the university of washington (uw) in the us isnt shy about the benefits and drawbacks of online education. uw concedes online courses may be more effective for self-directed learners, and students who are not organized and in possession of good time-management skills may struggle. thus, students should ask themselves whether they are capable of learning independently before signing up for online coursework.
uw also mentions online courses may not be able to accurately replicate the vibrant sense of intellectual community that has been at the heart of higher education for ages. this might lead some to miss out on learning and networking opportunities.
students jasmine barta of arizona state university: i take about half my classes online each semester, and i’ll tell you why : online classes are the secret to a happier, fuller and less stressful college experience. some students complain about the lack of social interaction and the ease with which they can forget to meet a deadline. but for me these concerns fall flat in the face of the convenience, flexibility and independence online learning offers.
chang hanyi of boston university: in order to squeeze in some extra learning without taking the focus away from my major, i enrolled in a pass/fail online reading and writing workshop. the coursework is actually as demanding as my other regular language classes. but what i have learned so far is beyond my expectations. my professor assigns weekly assignments each monday, and i am required to do readings, write study blogs and take quizzes regularly. i am also required to respond to comments from my professor and classmates. so, taking online courses doesnt mean zero physical interaction with your instructors. my professor even invited me to face-to-face meetings four times to address article structure in my writing assignments. my professor also uploads video clips to review class content and audio files to clarify some thorny points. despite the hard work, i still enjoy cyber interaction with my professor and classmates.
yang yang of peking university: with moocs, we are no longer confined to a classroom at a certain time slot. whenever i feel in the mood to study, i take out my laptop or ipad to watch course videos. i am now taking legal writing and research on coursera, a popular moocs platform. each week, four or six courses videos are released for us students to learn. apart from the teaching sessions, there are also quizzes to assess whether i have grasped the knowledge well. quiz scores make up 32 percent of my final score. the great thing about the quizzes is we even have them before each course. this encourages me to finish all the reading and preview the class early. although moocs are improving my learning experiences, this new form of teaching cannot compete with traditional ways of learning in terms of teacher-student interaction. i used to ask questions immediately after class. but with moocs, we only have office hours for question and answer sessions. most of the time, i wont bother to go.
write your response on answer sheet four.//范文//my views on online teaching system or platforms？ modern technology has innovated the way teaching and learning can be in people’s life. online teaching system or platforms is a recent phenomenon and consequently it is controversial. in spite of the fact that both universities and students have embraced this new style of teaching and learning, there are still worries and concerns. considering both sides, it is clear that online teaching system or platforms can help students achieve higher learning effectiveness despite its drawbacks.
college students now enjoy greater benefits. firstly, thanks to modern technology, learning online gives students access to a wider range of courses. with internet access, a wide variety of courses, some of which are published by elite professors of top universities, have become accessible to students from all over the world. the online platform provides a far wider range of courses than that you would find in any school or college. secondly, the flexibility and mobility given by the online teaching system makes students learn at any time anywhere in their convenience. they have great freedom of choice when they learn online. thus, it reduces the amount of time they spend on commutes.
on the other hand, online teaching and learning is much demanding and requires students’ full commitment and independence. admittedly, for those who are not self-disciplined and motivated, it is likely that they will end up with struggling with unsatisfactory results. meanwhile, although online interaction with professors and partners is very convenient, it still cannot replace classroom’s simultaneous face-to-face communication. thus, universities should work out methods to prevent the above mentioned problems that are likely to arise.
in conclusion, with the greatest technological boom in education, online learning or moocs, is an irreversible trend. so, the question really is not “which one?” but rather, “how can we combine both?” the answer is that each performs its own functions. undoubtedly, this revolutionary practice in education will continuously have more far-reaching consequences and will dramatically reshape the nature of higher education.
专八历年真题电子版 专八经典pdf篇二十三
一.听力听写题部分：
听力是中国学生永远的痛处。在没有法语语言环境的情况下，在大学学习了四年的`学生，听力还是有一定的局限性的。在四周内提高听力水平，可能吗？当然！这就要提到我们前面要确定的：要做到废寝忘食地学习。由于听力的提高需要一个延续的长期的过程，所以想在短期内提高，就只有加强听力的训练强度：只要有时间，就听法语听力。时间都是挤出来的，不挤的话永远都没有可以进一步提高的空间。
计划：首先，在这四周内，每天固定练习2次法语听力，每次一小时。可以做听写，也可以听法语句子，课文等等。
另外一个容易被忽视的可以提高听力的时间是：睡觉前。其实睡觉前躺在床上听听力是一种一举两得的学习方法。相信大多数学外语的同学都有这种感受：听外语可以助眠。法语也是如此。睡觉前躺在床上听会儿听力，更容易入眠，同时也可以锻炼听力。睡觉前的听力时间长短不重要，哪怕是5分钟，也是你能在听力上多得5分的原因。
二.词汇语法题部分：
这个比较考验基本语法。万变不离其宗，翻开自己上课时的笔记本吧，认真温习这4年来学过的语法，最好是边看边读，记忆的效果会更好。若觉得四周时间紧，就先着重看大二的。要知道，对法语学生来说 ，大学四年最重要的一年，就是大二。大二比较集中的讲了法语的各种时态和语法，当然这并不代表其他3年都是白上的，大一的语音，大三和大四的语法以及阅读都是非常非常重要的，缺一不可。都需要在专八考试前温习一遍。
计划：四周内，每天用两个小时学习法语语法词汇，是比较合适的时间安排。
还想提的一点是，在考试的时候，如果觉得词汇语法题有拿不准的，千万不要纠结太久。分值不大，没必要耗费太多的时间。因为后面有翻译题的部分，这里比较容易得分。所以要学会取舍。
三.中法互译题部分：
这里往往比较容易得分。每句的难度都不一样，先从看一眼就会做的句子下手。看到题目的时候，如果觉得有一处不会翻译，先别急，静下心来想一想其他的可以变通的办法，用另一个相同含义的词组或者词汇来代替，同样可以翻译出原句的意思来。
中法互译应该怎样练习呢？可以多找点法语原文来看看，加强对法语行文的掌握和理解。这同样可以提高后面的阅读理解部分的能力。
计划：四周内，每天用1个小时来练习这一部分。
四.文章阅读题部分：
阅读文章要有技巧，要做到“一目十行”但是又要抓住重点。这就需要平时对法语文章的积累。
计划：四周内，每日花2小时，阅读法语文章，报纸，名著，期刊杂志等等都可以。
五.写作部分：
写作方面，真题是一定要看的。看看往年的写作题目，着重看给出的写作范文。只要多看几篇范文，才知道哪种类型的文章是容易得高分的，自己写的时候在脑中才会有一个标杆。
计划：四周内，每日写一篇法语作文。
