四级英语作文审题思路及范文
A Classmate Who Has Influenced Me in College
审题思路
本篇题目一改过去常写的议论文，要求写对自己影响最大的大学同学。根据题目要求，写作重点应当是描述，而不是议论。考生首先应直接或间接引出主题，然后通过具体事例阐释该同学对“我”产生重大影响的原因，最后发表议论，照应前文，升华主题。由此可知，题目要求写一遍夹叙夹议，以叙述为主的作文。
写作提纲
引出主题；同学“Tom”改变了“我”(be subject to being pessimistic,strive to encourage,appreciate)
阐释主题：1在他的帮助下，我发现英语没那么难（be confused about,make progress）2.他教我如何面对挫折（live through setbacks）
升华主题：1“Tom”让我认识到了自信和乐观的重要性（the significance of self-confidence and optimism）。2.这种态度使人受益终身（benefit people all his life）
