Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minute to write a short essay on the topic of Elective courses to choose. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given bellow:
1、各大学开设了多种多样的选修课
2、学生因为各种原因选择了不同的选修课
3、以你自己为例……

　　备受瞩目的07年12月四级考试作文题目已经悄然地揭开了面纱，是关于大学生选课的综合评述类议论文。美森教育的四级强化班上，我提出了这次四级考试作文的类型四大重点之一就是阐述现象原因影响等的综合评述类议论文。而考前一周的冲刺班上我又将四大重点缩减到综合论述和夹叙夹议的两大黄金题型。如果纵观历年四六级考试作文类型，综合评论是出现频率的题型，因为这类题型容易接近热点，测试学生综合写作能力的。而四级而言，从03年之后只出现过一次这类题型，因此此次题型的回归对于深入研究四级考试的人来说是不难预测的。

　　这次四级作文的命题话题十分接近于06年6月24日新四级的作文话题，都是围绕大学校园的课程。所以说，这次四级写作的话题不难，学生是有思路，有话可说。那么，文章的段落布局将会是决定写作成败的关键之处。

　　综合评述类议论文也是要符合四级考试写作要求，三段式的，同时内容要点就可以看作是分段点，即段写点，第二段写第二点，第三段完成第三点。不过，每一段的写作方法是有要求的：

　　段，即议论文当中的引言段，要引入文章所谈论的话题“多种多样的选修课”

　　第二段，即议论文当中的主体段，谈论文章讨论的分论点，即“选择不同选修课的各种原因”

　　第三段，即议论文当中的结论段，总结文章，表达观点，即“以自己为例……”

　　后，我要强调的是，同学在写段(引言段)时，一定要突出“异”字，引入话题的方法要力求新颖，和他人不同，给阅卷老师以新鲜感。比如说，对于此次作文，段中存在“多种多样”，那么我们就可以尝试用举例法来引入话题。再者，第二段阐述原因时切忌直接展开原因的论述，而要先“引入”，再展开阐述。

　　Elective courses to choose

　　With the remarkable educational reform and the increasing students’ demand, universities strive to offer a variety of elective courses for students to choose. Some higher institutes provide the optional course of cross-cultural communication, and some colleges have computer science on the curriculum of elective courses

　　There are numerous reasons for students’ selection of the courses, and I would like to explore a few of the most significant ones here. In the first place, students tend to take personal interest into consideration when they opt for an elective course. Possibly, that’s why cross-cultural communication course is so prevailing on campus. Additionally, some undergraduates attend certain optional courses for their career prospects and future development. Last but not least, to make up for their required credits is another universal reason as students select a course at random.

　　As far as I am concerned, picking up an elective course, I am inclined to give priority to personal interest. I am taking geographic research and discovery course in that I’ve been greatly keen on science since I was a kid.
