问题解决型作文和对比题型作文是大学英语测试经常出现的题型。如在图表作文中，第一段要求大家对图表描述，而往往在第二段、第三段就要求分析原因和提出解决方法。至于提纲型作文则很大以部分是提出一个问题的两种不同看法，让大家进行分析。从这个意义上来说，这两种题型是四级作文考试的核心题型。 　　所谓问题解决题型是指题目要求大家对社会上存在的某个问题提出解决方法；其常见形式是：一、目前存在某个问题；二、这种问题的危害或产生原因；三、给出解决方法。 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic How I Finance My College Education.

How to finance college education has become a matter of concern for many students. 　　Different people have different ways to solve this problem. Some get all of the money from their parents. Some apply for a loan especially set up for college students. Some acquire the money completely by themselves, doing a full-time job in summer or winter holiday. Some other students may ask their parents for most of it and earn the rest in their spare time in college, by doing a part-time job. 　　As far as Im concerned, I prefer the last way. Having acquired most of the tuition and fees from my parents, I neednt worry too much about the money and can concentrate on my study; on the other hand, a part-time job in my spare time makes my campus-life colorful. I can make a lot of friends, improve my abilities and learn lots of knowledge. So, I choose this way to cover my tuition and fees. 　　听力 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: How to Succeed in a Job interview?

Knowing how to take a good interview is important because, to some extent, to succeed in a job interview means to be offered a desirable job. First impressions are of paramount importance. The following points can help you impress the interviewer favorably. 　　First of all, be careful of your appearance. Your dress should be formal, neat and proper for the occasion. Secondly, punctuality is vital and make sure to arrive on time. Thirdly, be confident in yourself but speak to the interviewer in a polite manner, and be modest but not humble about your capacity, which would leave a good impression on your would-be boss. 　　A job interview is a potential opportunity and challenge to acquire a good job.

According to a recent survey by Dr. Li, dean of Educational Department of Beijing Normal University, about 18% of the children between 8 and 15 years old have dropped out of school across the country. The same survey also indicates that the number of drop-outs is likely to grow in the years to come. Therefore, it is clear that illiteracy has been getting more and more serious.（32） 　　To account for the phenomenon, people have come up with various causes as listed below. For one thing, many families are still too poor to afford schooling for their kids. Take my neighbor as an example. There are three members in their family and the two adults were laid off last year. The only child will have to drop out of school next semester.（34） For another, some parents believe that schooling is useless, particularly for girls. In the end, some students are bored of the school life, and they drop out to escape teachers and lessons.（20） 　　Whatever the reason, the issue has turned a crippling force to the development of our country. Therefore, some measures should be taken to put an end to this problem. To begin with, our government should make stricter laws to forbid parents to take kids away from school. In addition, more funds should be given to those poor students.（11） Last but not the least, we should enhance the awareness of the harms of illiteracy among the people. Only through these measures can we hope to solve the problem. （269 words） 　　Follow-up Exercises 　　Harmfulness of Fake Commodities 　　目前社会上有不少假冒伪劣商品。为什么会有这种现象？ 　　举例说明假冒伪劣商品对消费者个人和社会等的危害。 　　1996年6月真题 　　Global Shortage of Fresh Water 　　人们认为淡水是取之不尽的（雨水，河水，井水。。。。。。） 　　实际上淡水是非常紧缺的（人口增加，工业用水增加，污染。。。。。。）
