优秀专四作文范文:大学生的经济来源
Income Sources of College Students
According to the investigation of the income sources of students, the income of American and Chine students comes from parents, part-time job and scholarship. However, the percentage of each income is quite different: fifty percent of the American students income comes from their parents, fifteen percent comes from the scholarships granted by colleges and universities and the rest comes from part-time jobs; ninety percent of Chine students' income comes from their parents.
In my opinion, the main reasons for the difference is that American students are taught to be independent when they are very young, while Chine students are taken such good care of that it is very difficult for them to live on their own. What's more, Chine students have fewer opportunities to find part-time jobs.
Nowadays more and more Chine students are eking part-time jobs. For one thing, som
e students come from poor areas and their parents can't afford the high cost of education. For another, they're eager to acquire some social skills and earn some money which will help them do more in school and live independently. As far as American students are concerned, I think the sources of American students' income will remain the same.
优秀专四作文范文:奢侈品与必需品
Today’s Luxuries Are Tomorrows Necessities
By "luxury", we mean "a pleasant and often expensive thing that is not necessary". From a historical point of view, things which were a luxury when they first came into being all became necessities later. When the electric bulb was first invented in the U.S., it was such a luxury that only government bodies could afford to u it. Nowadays, however, it has reached every part of the world. It is the same ca with telephone, TV, and a lot of others, which were all luxuries years ago.
Anything, no matter how luxurious it is, will become a necessity when it is widely ud. Th
is is true of many of the prent luxuries, including mobile phones, cars, computers and many other things. It is known to all that the purpo of the development of science is to make things easy for the mankind, not for only a small number of people. Therefore, the first thing to do after a new invention occurs is to spread it so as to benefit as many people as possible. In the cour of the spread, the luxury becomes decreasingly luxurious until in the end it becomes a necessity. This is an objective law, nothing can be an exception.
With the quick development of science and technology, the process for many things to become a necessity from a luxury will be greatly shortened. Anything that can be imagined will be invented and in no time becomes a necessity accessible to ordinary people.

Should the Golden Week Holidays Be Abolished?
There is no denying the fact that the introduction of the Golden Week holidays in China has considerably promoted the development of the nation's economy and touring industry and enriched people's life. People around the country have spent more time and money traveling and relaxing themlves.
As every coin has two sides, the Golden Week holidays have also brought about piles of problems. For one thing, due to the fact that people across the country are spending their vacations during the same period of time, it is terribly crowded almost everywhere: trains, bus, hotels, scenic spots, etc., which have ruined people's mood for vacations. For another, some businessmen take advantage of the weeklong holidays and rai the priced of commodities and rvices.
Personally, I believe that it is necessary for people to have long vacations, but there is no
need for them to have the vacations during the same period of time. Instead, they should be allowed the freedom to arrange their own vacations. Only in this way can they really relax and refresh themlves for a new round of work.
