中【英语四级考试写作试题】
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to one of your lecturers. Say what you enjoy about his lectures and suggest how they could be improved. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
【参考答案】
Dear Professor Martin,
I would like to take the opportunity to express my appreciation for your humorous and attractive way of teaching. All the information contained in your lectures is comprehensive and practical. To learn more actively, please allow me to outline some of my opinions on your lectures.
Firstly, I do hope you can insert a short "intermission" through the lecture and let us have a short discussion. It is helpful for us to avoid decline of attention and catch up with your lecture. At the same time, it takes the pressure off you as the instructor.
Secondly, it is advisable that you increase student activities or learning tasks during your lecture so as to promote student engagement.
Thirdly, I hope you will be able to just base your lectures on the most important materials and ask the students to search for the less important information for themselves outside of class.
At last, I’d like to express my heartfelt thanks and highest respect to you for your hardwork and wish to have an opportunity to communicate with you face to face.
Yours sincerely, Li Hu

这是一封写给授课老师的建议信。信件开头首先表明对老师授课方式的欣赏及对授课内容的赞扬，之后提及自己对课堂的三点建议：一是希望老师授课中途做短暂休息;二是希望老师在授课的过程中穿插学生活动或学习任务以加强学生的参与度;三是希望老师挑重点内容讲，鼓励学生课后自己搜查课上省略掉的次要内容。最后表达自己对老师辛勤工作的感谢，希望有机会能面对面地交流。
