The approach of the Chinese Lunar New Year poses a national issue

　　concerning the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Its established

　　status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by

　　younger generations. It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes.

　　Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other

　　programs. These young people focus their attention on other forms of

　　celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV. Despite that, the

　　majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the

　　importance of the traditional performance. The most striking feature of

　　this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary peoples lives.

　　Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional

　　Chinese Spring Festival Eve. They all have a restless night and glue their

　　eyes on the television.

　　I am not supportive of the view that the grand gala should be abandoned. Undoubtedly, it

　　plays a vital role in the celebration of Chinese New Year. To increase its

　　appeal and meet young adults need, the upcoming performance should invite

　　some big names including super stars from Hongkong and Taiwan. We are all

　　eagerly anticipating this unforgettable evening show.

　　點評:

　　本次四級考試作文總體上來說并不是很難。但表現出兩個出人意料：一是體裁，二是題材。

　　對于體裁來說，本次四級作文屬于正反對比論證類的文體。比較出人意料，又回到了老的考查模式。很多學生把考前死背的作文模板派上了用場。但是這只能得到最基本的分數。雖然模板對于考查學生的語言表達并不益處，但還能測試出考生的語言基本功。從四級考試寫作的測試目的來看，還是注重考查學生對基本語法、基本詞匯運用能力的掌握情況。所以除了模板之外，考生還要在基本表達上狠下功夫，只有在平時多操練，在考場上才游刃有余。除此之外，學生還要在作文中多采用閃光點，這樣就會使作文在基本分數上有所提升，有所突破。

　　對于題材，本次四級作文的話題是關于人們對于春節晚會的不同看法，屬于社會生活類話題，一反常態，沒有再次考查校園類話題。但是對于當代大學生來說，與大學生有關的社會話題也是需要關注的，這也說明考試方向的變化：校園類話題與社會熱點話題同等重要,這一點對于未來考四級的學生的作文備考的方向有一定的指導意義。
