For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a foreign friend who wants to learn Chinese. Please recommend a place to him. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
这道大学英语四级作文试题要求考生给一位外国朋友写一封信，向这位外国朋友推荐一个学习汉语的place。place的意思比较宽泛，它可以是一个地区、一个城市、一个乡镇、一所大学，甚至一座建筑。因此，我们不妨向这位外国朋友推荐中国的普通话之乡——河北省滦平县。这封书信从称呼开始写起，我们假设这位朋友的名字叫Alan，称呼可以写Dear Alan。稱呼要顶格写，后面用逗号。
这封书信的正文可以写三个段落。第一段先写得知朋友的汉语发音有困难，感到很遗憾，然后交代写这封信的目的——向他推荐一个提高汉语的地方。第二段先推荐朋友到滦平县学习汉语，然后详述推荐的三条理由：首先，由于历史原因，河北省滦平县被称为中国的普通话之乡，在这里，人人都说一口字正腔圆的普通话，因此，到这里学习汉语，可以学到纯正的汉语发音;其次，滦平有许多历史古迹，比如一段保存完好的长城;最后，滦平当地还有许多美食，可以大饱口福。第三段是一些客套话，如希望对方觉得自己的推荐有用，如果他想进一步了解这个地方，请他尽管给自己写信等。
正文下面是署名。署名一般写在信纸中间偏右的位置，分两行书写，上下对齐。由于这是一封写给朋友的信，上一行可写Yours truly（或Truly yours），假设你叫李明，下一行写Li Ming。下面请看参考范文：
Dear Alan，
I was sorry to learn that you do not do well in Chinese pronunciation. You asked me to recommend a place for you to improve your Chinese. I’m writing this letter to offer you some advice.
I’d like to recommend Luanping County， a hill-surrounded town about 165 kilometers to the northeast of Beijing. It is known as the hometown of Mandarin Chinese for historical reasons. Local residents， old or young， speak standard Chinese. I am sure you will pick up a flawless pronunciation studying there. Also， the county is known for its historic sites， the most famous of which is a section of well-preserved Great Wall. Still another attraction is its local delicacies， which I’m sure will satiate you.
I hope you will find my recommendation helpful. Please feel free to write to me if you want any further information about the town.
Yours truly，
Li Ming （149 words）

For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of having a sense of social responsibility. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 本题要求考生论述具有社会责任感的重要性。由于这个话题比较抽象，所以我们最好用定义法开头，即作文的第一段就给社会责任感下个定义。这个定义不一定要无懈可击，能自圆其说即可。我们认为社会责任感就是一个人意识到的对整个社会的责任和义务。
第二段论述具有社会责任感的重要性。由于本题中没有表明是谁的社会责任感，我们不妨从个人层面着眼，论述一个人具有社会责任感的重要性。可以从两个方面展开论述：第一，有了社会责任感，我们会通过做志愿工作让这个世界变得更加美好，比如在当地公园里捡垃圾，或者到贫困地区支教;第二，具有社会责任感会增加我们自己的幸福感，比如，当意识到我们的捐款能给别人的生活带来变化，我们就会感到快乐和满足。我们还可以引用哈佛大学的一项研究以增加说服力。第三段先总结上文，指出社会责任感不但能增加我们的幸福感，而且能让这个世界变得更加美好;最后建议在全国开展一场宣传运动，以增强公众的社会责任感。下面请看参考范文：
A sense of social responsibility refers to an awareness of one’s obligations towards other members of society at large. It is of crucial importance in today’s society， for it not only boosts our happiness but helps change the world for the better.
Motivated by a sense of social responsibility， we can make the world a better place through volunteering， whether it be picking litter in a local park or teaching kids in a poverty-stricken area. Besides， a sense of social responsibility contributes to our sense of well-being. For instance， realizing that the money we donate will make a great difference in someone’s life， we feel happy and fulfilled. A Harvard Business School study suggests that giving to others is directly correlated with an increased sense of happiness.
Apart from increasing our feeling of happiness， a strong sense of social responsibility goes a long way towards making positive changes in the world. Therefore， it is high time we launched a nationwide campaign to foster a sense of social responsibility among the public. （171 words）
語言亮点借鉴：
1. It is of crucial importance in today’s society， for it not only boosts our happiness， but helps change the world for the better. 社会责任感在今天的社会至关重要，因为它不仅增加我们的幸福感，还有助于改善这个世界。change… for the better“改善”。
2. Motivated by a sense of social responsibility， we can make the world a better place through volunteering， whether it be picking litter in a local park or teaching kids in a poverty-stricken area. 在社会责任感的激励下，不管是在本地公园里捡垃圾，还是到贫困地区支教，我们都能通过做志愿者让世界变得更加美好。whether… or… 引导一个让步状语从句，从句中可用虚拟语气，即系动词使用原形。
3. A Harvard Business School study suggests that giving to others is directly correlated with an increased sense of happiness. 哈佛商学院的一项研究表明，为他人付出与增加幸福感直接相关。be directly correlated with“与……直接相关”。
4. Apart from increasing our feeling of happiness， a strong sense of social responsibility goes a long way towards creating positive changes in the world. 除了增加我们的幸福感，强烈的社会责任感对积极地改变世界大有帮助。go a long way to/toward/towards doing sth“对做某事大有帮助”。
5. Therefore， it is high time we launched a nationwide campaign to foster a sense of social responsibility among the public. 因而，现在是时候开展一场全国性的运动，在公众中培养社会责任感。it is high time （that）…“是该……的时候了”。这是一个提建议的常用句型，后面的从句用虚拟语气，即从句中的谓语动词使用一般过去时。 □
