新东方石雷鹏：考前一周四六级写作冲刺备考

　　以下给出的文章和内容基于课堂所讲的“功能段落和表达”，目的在于帮助有缘在新东方课堂相识的同学复习课堂所讲，并帮助考生重温“现象”、“建议”、“意义”、“原因”、“观点(利弊)”和“危害”的功能表达。复习时，请勿追求面面俱到，重点复习现象、建议和意义，如果有时间也复习其他三种功能段。范文中重复部分是常见功能表达。
　　2013年12月四六级考试在即，新东方石雷鹏老师分析13年12月最有可能考的功能段落应该是：现象、建议、意义和原因;次之为危害和观点对比。无论考何种形式作文，最简易的处理方式是：有汉语提纲则按照汉语提纲写相应的功能段落，若无汉语提纲则按照话题和内容要求直接写相应的功能表达或自己列出基本提纲再写相应功能表达!图表和图画、书信亦可如此!
　　图画、话语评论和图表作文可按照相同模式来处理：首段引出话语，图画和图表，并对其内容描述评论;二段写对应现象、意义或危害，尾段写看法和建议并展望!背诵功能表达组合完成作文。
　　近年四六级跑题率很高，审题是关键，建议关注1 体裁+话题;2内容要求：英文提示/汉语提纲;3字数。如13年6月六级“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.” 应关注四类词：名动形副，如earth, satisfy, man, greed等，对应写现象、意义、建议或危害。

(51)
　　In contemporary society, it has become a trend for individuals to surf the Internet for the information they need.

　　2.      推迟退休年龄有利也有弊
　　3.      我的看法
　　Based on a recent survey on the Internet, a majority of individuals admit that aging society will bring a variety of problems to their life. Along with the trend of longevity, it has become a trend for people to debate whether it is wise to postpone retirement age.
　　A number of individuals favor postponing the retirement age. In their eyes, it is this policy that enables the aging society to build up enough work-force. As a matter of fact, people in mounting numbers have come to realize this problem in an aging society. Even so, others hold a different view that postponing retirement age carries some risks. This policy can bring old people stress, but cannot arouse their enthusiasm for work, and cannot help them to enjoy their retirement pension.
　　I am convinced that we should take into account the wishes of old people. If those seniors have enthusiasm for work, we should educate, advocate and encourage them to work and perform their tasks; if not, it is advisable for the society to create a comfortable twilight for them. If we try our utmost to do so, the future of old people’ life will be promising and hopeful.  (187 words)
