思路 :1.肯定大學(xué)生活有價值 ;

??????? 2.大學(xué)生活的價值體現(xiàn)可以從大學(xué)教育對人生觀的影響、知識的獲取 、各種能力的培養(yǎng)等方面來講 。

The Value of University Life

There are reports about businessmen, tars, celebrities who are undereducated and even did not graduate from high school. Therefore, some college students doubt about the value of college life. As far as I’m concerned, I’d say college life is the most valuable in the following aspects .

引言部分 :作者先說明有些學(xué)生對大學(xué)生活是否有價值產(chǎn)生懷疑的原因,然后開門見山地提出自己的觀點,并用in the following aspects引出下文。

Time spent at a university is the most worthwhile period in a young person’s life. This is a time when a student begins to form his or her ideas about life in general. Attending classes and studying in the library keep a student busy and provide him or her with access to valuable information, adding to his or her knowledge base.

Campus life can also be rich and colorful. Most universities offer a variety of extracurricular activities such as sports events, contests, and other social gatherings, enabling the students to experience relief from study and homework. Students often form lifelong friendships through various experiences during university life.

主體部分:分為三個自然段,從獲取知識、結(jié)交朋友、為未來做好準(zhǔn)備三方面說明大學(xué)生活的價值所在。這三段的結(jié)尾句都是該段的總結(jié)句,使文章的邏輯非常清晰、結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊.

During the time a student spends at university, he not only develops his intellectual11 abilities, but also develops social skills as well as knowledge and wisdom necessary for choosing a future career. By learning how to balance intense study and recreation , a student will be well prepared for the challenges of future responsibilities.

Therefore, it’s only too natural to draw the conclusion that university life, if enjoyed fully and made best use of, is very rewarding in various ways.

總結(jié)部分:作者用therefore自然引出結(jié)尾 ,并用 in various ways 呼應(yīng)首段的following aspects,使文章整體感很強。

亮點回放

1. celebrities:“名人” ,比使用famous people來得正式 。

2. undereducated:“受教育不足的,未受良好教育的” ,也可以用poorly educated ,該詞的使用顯示了作者較大的詞匯量 。

3. doubt about:“對……表示懷疑” ,注意與suspect之間的區(qū)別 。

4. aspect:? “方面、方位” ;常用搭配為in this aspect(在這個方面 )。

5. worthwhile:?? “值得做的”;注意與worth和worthy之間的區(qū)別 ,另外worthwhile還常用于it is worthwhile to do sth.。

6. in general: “大體上、一般來說”;近義詞有in the main ,generally (speaking) 。

7. add to:“增加” ;近義詞為increase ,注意與add ... to和add up to的區(qū)別 。

8. base: “基地、基礎(chǔ)、基線” ;此處也可以用foundation ,另外注意base作為形容詞表示卑鄙的、不道德的”。

9. relief: “輕松、減輕”;注意與它搭配的介詞是from 。

10. lifelong: “終身的” ;通常同學(xué)們都會使用all one's life來表示? “一輩子”這一概念,但用lifelong這一形容詞更為簡潔明了。

11. intellectual: “智力上的、聰明的” ;還可以作名詞 ,表示“知識分子”。

12. intense: “強大的、強烈的、緊張的” ;這里的意思是“緊張的” ,很多同學(xué)會誤寫成nervous study ,當(dāng)然此處也可以用busy來替代 。

13. recreation:“娛樂” ;該詞的使用體現(xiàn)了作者較大的詞匯量 。

14. only too ... to: 一般情況的too...to結(jié)構(gòu)表示“太 ……而不能”,此處加上only就變?yōu)椤胺浅!プ觥钡囊馑剂耍贿^too后面所接 的詞得是正面詞匯,這里表示的意思是“得出以下結(jié)論是非常自然的事情”。
