2009年12月大学英语六级作文题目
现在有不少家长送孩子参加各种艺术班；
1、对这种做法有人表示支持，
2、有人并不赞成；
3、我认为…
点评：本次六级考试的作文题目与2009年6月的六级考试题目“关于名字的重要性的讨论”的三段论形式一摸一样，所关注的主题依然是社会热点。现在社会上，越来越多的家长为了中考和高考加分，不让自己的孩子落后于别人，因此牺牲孩子的课余时间和休息时间，把孩子送到各种各样的艺术班中去额外上课，这种现象相当突出，妨碍了孩子的全面发展和素质教育的进程。因此引起了命题者的关注。虽然这个题目与大学生的生活关系并不是很大，或者说大学生不容易注意到这类的话题，有种反押题的感觉和倾向，这对于未来的考生来说，关注社会热点，作为素材的储备，也是必要的，做一个有心人。紧跟时代步伐是准备六级作文的一个很重要的方向。
从体裁层面上看，这次的题目属于现象描述+正反观点对比+个人观点阐述的传统三段论的格式，难度较低，基本上都是考生很熟悉的段落结构，但是考生要特别注意两点：第一，写作中要包含提纲中所有的要点，每一段要有topic sentense ，给阅卷老师以结构清晰的感觉，有助于你的高分。第二，虽然是传统的观点类作文体裁，但是尽量不要使用模板，以免造成不必要的失分，句式要富有变化，多一些闪光词汇和闪光句型，对于四六级作文，形式和结构的重要性远远大于内容，毕竟受到阅卷时间的限制，比如说很多考生会写with the development of economy , I believe that ...之类的句型，这都属于低分标志，可以替换成As the economy evolves at a fast speed 或者 with the advancement of economy 或者as the economy at an incredible speed 等等，另外在表达观点的时候不一定老是用think ,believe 等低级词汇，可以替换成maintain , deem ，argue等等，除此之外，某某非常重要的表达或者某种现象特别流行的表达也是多种多样，建议大家变换使用，比如阐述重要性的时候可以用sth is of intense significance或者there is a growing trend that ，这样都是高分句型总之替换的理念一定要贯彻下去，不光是对写作，对四六级考试的其他题型，如阅读，听力等也有相当大的帮助。
范文：
Should Parents Send Their Kids to Art Classes
Children are the future of the nation, the pearl in their parents’ eyes. Hoping that their kids can become the cream of the crop among others, more and more parents send their kids to various art classes to let them learn more. However, people hold different opinions toward this phenomenon.
Some people hold a firm position that it is a beneficial thing for kids to attend art classes. There, kids can not only learn some art skills that may helpful for them someday, they can also get a chance to expand their interests to a great extent, and their minds can also be broadened. Besides, kids can also make a lot of friends there, thus their communication skills may also be sharpened. While for the others, they hold an opposite opinion. They think parents should not send their kids to art classes blindly against kids’ will, because this will get a definitely negative impact on kids. Kids, in these parents’ eyes, should be given more flexible time to relax and do whatever they are interested in. And kids also need freedom because unacceptable art classes will absolutely eliminate the nature of kids. Thus, sending kids to these classes will undoubtedly hurt them.
Every coin has two sides. As far as I am concerned, I think children’s interests should be taken into careful consideration before being sent to art classes. Children should be given enough freedom to develop by themselves. Whether parents should send their kids to art classes, it depends.
