在经历了2013年四六级的大规模变革之后，作文单项又于2016年12月和2017年6月进行了小规模的创新。考查形式为“书信”与“告示”，考题内容是“感谢信”与“出售二手书籍、自行车、电脑”。不论考查形式还是考查内容，均与全国硕士研究生录取考试英语单项的小作文类似，难度系数的提高，考题形式的多变，都着实引起了部分考生的恐慌。

　　笔者曾在强化课堂中反复强调传统类考题的重要性，而 2017年12月的四级作文，开始返朴归真，重新回归对于传统考题类型的考查“医患关系”“两代关系”“师生关系”，故大胆在冲刺班要求各位考生务必继续关注与社会热点相关的传统题型，话题内容请关注和大学生学习工作生活和社会改革发展变化相关的话题。果不其然，正如今年卷一：the importance of writing and how to improve writing skills，考查形式属于“现象类”，考查内容属于“大学生学习工作生活”,考查形式和内容均类似于2010年6月四级考题“Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling”，具体解析如下：

　　第一段受制于考查形式，可以简明扼要指出现存社会现象。第二段属于原因分析段，从微观和宏观不同维度论证这个社会现象的起因或者重要性。第三段属于评论措施段，继续回应前文分析角度，提出改进现状的措施,而针对此题，第三段应该为写作的重点段落。

　　借此机会，再次提醒各位童靴，尽管近几年大学英语四级考试作文单项考查形式变幻莫测，但是大家要学会透过现象看本质，找出个性中的共性，以不变应万变。

　　1. 注意前期基本功的夯实，包括基础词汇和基础语法。深知词汇是英语学习的基础构成单位，词汇的记忆贵在坚持，贵在重复;而语法是对于逻辑思维的培养和考查，语法的掌握贵在学以致用，贵在举一反三。

　　2. 注意后期单项技巧的掌握，包括写作，听力，阅读和翻译。 并加强课后练习，不断巩固，强化概念。这些技巧能够帮助考生在第一时间迅速切中要害，如同打游戏开的外挂，但也应该懂得技巧属于锦上添花，而不是雪中送炭。

　　下面，笔者献拙作一篇，还望不吝赐教。

　　范文：

　　Against the backdrop of economic globalization, never before has English learning aroused so much concern among the public, among which the learning of writing is always on the top of both students’ and teachers’ agenda.

　　There exist numerous necessities for this phenomenon spreading in colleges nowadays. On the one hand, as for students, it is an important and indispensable quality for them to be competitive in the future job market, as writing is a process of output that needs a long time of accumulation.

　　卷二和卷三分别考查reading和speaking的Importance和improve 的方式，作文展开维度类似，不再赘述。
