评述：
今年的写作题目总体较为简单，试题沿袭近两年的话题作文，题意理解上也没有设置障碍，词汇并不难理解, 题干中直接出现了主题词——The challenges of studying abroad（出国读书的挑战），Thechallenges of starting a career（创业的挑战），The challenges of living in a big city（在大城市生活的挑战）。该话题在近两年的写作考题中是有迹可循的，2016年12月四级写作涉及毕业生的选择，2017年6月六级写作，其中一篇选择出国读书还是读国内的大学。总体来说，本次写作难度不大，第一段抛出主题，说明毕业生面临的选择包括出国、创业等，同时点出其不可避免地会带来一些挑战。第二段展开两点或三点具体分析各种挑战。第三段总结，也可同时给出建议措施，如何迎接并克服各种困难。
【写作1】
Directions:For thispart，you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essayon the challenges of living in a big city. Youshould write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
One of thenoticeable phenomena emerging in the contemporary society is that a growing number of individuals aresparing no efforts to live in a big city. However, living in a big city, fromwhere I stand, may pose numerous challenges to us.
The challengeswhich are brought about by living in big cities can be mirrored in thefollowing aspects. On one hand, being a city-dweller, to some extent, meansthat most of us have to be confronted with fierce competition and theever-increasing living cost, which may add extra burden to our daily life. Onthe other hand, it is universally acknowledged that the rapid industrializationand urbanization have taken a mighty toll on cities’ air, water and soil. Thus,the terrible ecological conditions in major cities will pose a potential threatto our health.
Taking all thesecontributors into account, we can naturally draw a conclusion that dueattention should be given to the challenges of living in a big city. Only inthis way can we embrace a more brilliant life.
【写作2】
Directions: For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write ashort essay on the challenges of studying abroad. You should write at least 120 words but no morethan 180 words.
The past century has witnessed the steep rise in the numberof Chinese undergraduates studying abroad in the context of globalizationeither for the purpose of a decent educational background or in the pursuit offreedom as well as independent lives.
Despite the seemingly fancy experience, the challenge itpossibly brings may not be merely restricted to a transition to totally newsurroundings，but a course of adaptation in all respects. First andforemost, the language barrier tops the list of challenges of the life in aforeign country，which not only means to strive for a grasp of a newlanguage, but more importantly and demandingly, to fit in with the authenticand idiomatic use of the language. In addition, as a foreigner, it is naturalthat you have no knowledge of the local custom and established practice. Undersuch circumstances, one tends to come across with various awkward situation andthus mistakes are bound to happen all the times.
To tackle such problems, it is advisable for overseasstudents to make close observations and further enquiries. Dreadful as thosechallenges seem to be, there is no reason for us to shrink back at the sightfor there is always a way.
【写作3】
Directions: For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write ashort essay on the challenges of starting a career after graduation. You should write at least 120words but no more than 180 words.
With theapproaching of graduation, many graduating students have to make a significantdecision about their future—to start a career or to continue their study. Ifthey decide to start a career, they have to prepare themselves carefully forthe challenges they may be faced with.
First, collegegraduates have to transform their mentality from being a student withinstructions of teachers and support of family to employees who often need tosolve problems independently. Not to mention those who start their own career,they have to cope with everything by themselves. Second, to start a careermeans to take the initiative to do things and learn to plan our career. We areoften given tasks and nobody will instruct us like tutors in school.
In all, to start acareer is totally different from the life in college. Be sure to consider thechallenges carefully we may encounter in our career and make ourselves ready.

Conversation One
主旨内容：
两位学生就上课如何集中注意力进行了探讨。女生提出在听讲时要用手记笔记，才能够把老师讲解的内容记住，并且在必要情况甚至可以画无意义的线条来使自己集中注意力；在家学习时需要讲知识大声读出来，这些都是通过身体来记忆知识。
参考原文：
M: Mr. Brown’s lectures are so boring.
W: Yes, he is not a very exciting speaker. Butthe subject is interesting.
M: During every one of his lectures, I try tolisten. I really try. But after about 10 minutes my mind begins to wander and Ilose concentration. But I see that you seem to be OK. How do you stayfocused through the entire hour?
W: Well, what I do is keep my pen moving.
M: What do you mean?
W: It’s a method of active concentration I read about. Oneof the most effective ways to concentrate is to write things down. But ithas to be done by hand, not typing on a keyboard. You see writingby hand forces you to actually engage with what you’re learning in a morephysical way.
M: Do you review your notes afterwards then?
W: Sometimes, but that’s not important. My notes mayor may not be useful but the point is that by writing down what Mr. Brandsays I can follow his line of thinking more easily. Infact, sometimes I draw a little too.
M: You draw in class and that helps me pay attention?
W: Yes, honestly it works for me. I just draw littlelines and nonsense really. It was also in that article I read. It can keepthe mind active, prevent getting bored and help to concentrate. Again thepoint is to listen hard while keeping the pen moving. If I’m at home and Ineed to study what I do is read out loud. It has a similar effect towriting by hand. It helps memorize information in a physical way.
Question 8. Whatdoes the man think of Mr. Brown’s lectures?
Question 9. Whatdoes the woman do during Mr. Brown’s lectures?
Question 10. Whydoes the woman draw in class?
