这篇小作文要求考生给英国的一位大学教授写一封电子邮件,邀请他/她组队参加在自己学校举行的国际创新比赛,因此这是一封邀请信。电子邮件与书信一样也是从称呼开始写起,我们不妨称呼对方为Dear Professor Smith。邮件的正文写三段。由于这是一封公务信函,与收信人并不熟悉,第一段可以先表明身份,比如自己是上海大学的学生会主席,接着表明写这封邮件的目的——邀请他/她组队参加将于今年七月在上海大学举行的国际创新比赛。第二段介绍一下这次创新比赛的细节,如比赛的时间、地点、主题、规则等,还可以介绍一下比赛期间的接待工作。第三段是一些客套话,如希望对方接受自己的邀请,期待早日收到回信等。邮件的最后是署名,写在正文下方中间偏右的位置。署名分上下两行,上一行可写Yours sincerely,下一行写Li Ming,上下对齐。下面请看参考范文:

2022年考研英语一的大作文继续考查漫画作文。要写好漫画作文,我们首先要仔细观察漫画,弄清漫画的寓意。在本题的漫画中,我们可以看到两个女生站在一张校园讲座的海报前,一个女生说这次讲座不是她们专业的,听了也没多大用;而另一个女生却认为听听总会有好处。这幅漫画的寓意是广泛涉猎各方面的知识对学生很重要。
我们可以把这篇作文写成三个段落。第一段先描述漫画,然后指出漫画的寓意。根据写作指令的要求,描述图画要简洁,一般只需要两三句话。第二段论证漫画的寓意,即广泛涉猎对学生很重要。本段是文章的重心所在,要充分展开、详加论述。我们不妨从学术和职业两个方面展开论述。首先,拓宽知识面可以激发学生的创造性。因为创新往往源于把看似无关的事物联系起来。比如,航空工程师在设计直升机时就从蜻蜓的飞行方式中获得了灵感。其次,学习新的技能会给大学生更多的工作选择。然后举出具体例子进行论证:一位朋友在读大学期间是戏剧俱乐部的活跃成员,他在获得法学文凭后进入了娱乐业,现在成为一名成功的演员。
第三段先总结全文,指出广泛的知识让大学生更有创造性,并且有助于他们的职业发展。最后建议大学鼓励学生积极探索自己专业以外的兴趣。下面请看参考范文:
In the drawing above, one student, after reading a poster for a lecture,remarked that it was useless for them to attend the lecture, as it had little to do with their major.The other student, however, held the opposite view, saying that it was important to go to the lecture.Obviously, the drawing is aimed at emphasizing the benefits of dabbling in different fields.
Pursuing interests in a variety of fields benefits college students academically and professionally.First, learning new things fuels creativity.This is because innovation often comes from making connections between seemingly unrelated things.For instance, aeronautic engineers have drawn inspiration from the way a dragonfly flies in designing helicopters.Also, acquiring new skills gives college students more job options.My friend Len is a good example.An active member of the drama club while at college, he entered showbiz after earning his degree in law.Now he is a successful actor.
An extensive knowledge fosters creativity in college students and advances their career.Therefore, it is advised that universities encourage students to actively explore interests outside their own major.(184 words)
语言亮点借鉴:
1.Obviously, the drawing is aimed at emphasizing the benefits of dabbling in different fields.显然,这幅画的目的是强调涉猎各个领域的益处。dabble in涉猎。
2.Pursuing interests in a variety of fields benefits college students academically and professionally.在不同的领域追求兴趣爱好有益于大学生的学习和事业。本句是第二段的主题句,为全段的展开指明了方向。
3.First, learning new things fuels creativity.首先,学习新事物激发创造性。fuel刺激,激发。
4.An active member of the drama club while at college, he entered showbiz after earning his degree in law.他在读大学的时候就是喜剧俱乐部的积极分子,在获得法律学位之后他进入了娱乐业。an active member of是一个名词短语,做句子主语he的同位语,放在句首是为了增加句子的节奏感和平衡感。
5.Therefore, it is advised that universities encourage students to actively explore interests outside their own major.因此,建议大学鼓励学生积极探索自己专业之外的兴趣。 □
