　　转眼间，英语四六级考试又要开始了。小编整理了关于英语四六级考试的英语预测作文，快来看看吧。

　　【中文语料】

　　世界上大部分甚至所有的文化和宗教都将诚实称赞为一种美德。如果要刘局出我们希望能在朋友或恋人身上扎到的一些品质，很多人都会把诚实列在首位。事实上，很多人也行认为诚实是其他人的事，而与自己无关。但是考虑到撒谎和欺骗会带来不良影响，我认为诚实会为自己带来的是最大的利益。

　　一方面，不诚实对心里健康也会带来严重的负面影响。不诚实的人即使他们尚未被“发现”，也会在心里承受内疚感和羞耻感。这是因为，尽管撒谎是不道德的，不部分撒谎的人内心深处还是有道德观念的。另一方面，那些做出误导或欺骗行为的人是迟早要被揭穿的。当然，一次次的谎言也学都可能会侥幸不被发现。但是，一旦发现，撒谎的人面临的可能就是巨大的损失，甚至导致他们身败名裂。根据欺诈的性质，有些人的谎言被揭露后，可能意味着失去工作，众叛亲离甚至有可能要蹲监狱。

　　总体而言，虽然我们周边的欺诈行为不可能被清除，但是我们可以决定自己是否要做一个诚实的人，城市到什么程度。考虑到撒谎带来的不良影响——包括损害精神健康以及受到惨重的损失，毋庸置疑，做一诚实的`人是我们唯一的选择。

　　【参考范文】

　　Honesty is regarded as a virtue by most, if not all, of the world's cultures and religions. Many of us, if asked to enumerate the qualities we seek in a friend or a partner, would place honesty at the top of the list. In reality, many people seem to think that being honest is for others and not for themselves. However, I believe that, given the negative consequences of lying and deception, practicing honesty is in our own best interest.

　　For one thing, being dishonest can have serious side-effects on our mental health. Dishonest people even if they have not yet been “found out”, are likely to carry guilt and shame inside them. This is because, although lying is an immoral, most liars still have a conscience deep down inside. For another thing, those who misleads or lie to others are bound to be caught sooner or later. Indeed, people may get away with lying once or even several times. However, the one time that they get caught could entail great loss, or even spell their downfall. Depending on the nature of deception, having one's lies could mean losing one's job, being deserted by friends and family, or even spending time in jail.

　　Generally speaking, while it may be impossible to eliminate the deceit that exists around us, each of us can decide whether, and to what extent, to practice truthfulness ourselves. Considering the adverse influence that lying can have——including destroying our mental heath and , ultimately, causing us to suffer great loss——it is apparent that honesty is our only viable option.

　　英语作文写技巧：

　　1. 灵活改变句子开头

　　在通常情况下，英语句子的排列方式为“主语+谓语+宾语”，即主语位于句子开头。但若根据情况适当改变句子的开头方式，比如使用倒状语或以状语开头等，会使文章增强表现力。如：

　　(1) There stands an old temple at the top of the hill.

　　→ At the top of the hill there stands an old temple.

　　在小山顶上有一座古庙。

　　(2) You can do it well only in this way.

　　→ Only in this way can you do it well.

　　只有这样你才能把它做好。

　　(3) A young woman sat by the window.

　　→ By the window sat a young woman.

　　窗户边坐着一个年轻妇女。

　　2. 避免重复使用同一词语

　　为了使表达更生动，更富表现力，同学们在写作时应尽量避免重复使用同一词语来表示同一意思，尤其是一些老生常谈的词语。如有的同学一看到“喜欢”二字，就会立刻想起like，事实上，英语中表示类似意思的词和短语很多，如 love, enjoy, prefer, appreciate, be fond of, care for等。如：

　　I like reading while my brother likes watching television.

　　→ I like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.

　　我喜欢看书，而我的兄弟却喜欢看电视。

　　3. 合理使用省略句

　　合理恰当地使用省略句，不仅可以使文章精练、简洁，而且会使文章更具文采和可读性。如：

　　(1) He may be busy. If he’s busy, I’ll call later. If he is not busy, can I see him now?

　　→ He may be busy. If so, I’ll call later. If not, can I see him now?

　　他可能很忙，要是这样，我以后再来拜访。要是不忙，我现在可以见他吗?

　　(2) If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If it is not fine, we’ll not go.

　　→ If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If not, not.

　　如果天气好，我们就去;如果天气不好，我们就不去了。

　　(3) She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t do so.

　　→ She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t.

　　她本可申请这份工作的，但她没有。

　　4. 适当运用非谓语结构

　　非谓语结构通常被认为是一种高级结构，适当运用非谓语结构，会给人一种熟练驾驭语言的印象。如：

　　(1) When he heard the news, they all jumped for joy.

　　→ Hearing the news, they all jumped for joy.

　　听了这消息他们都高兴得跳了起来。

　　(2) As I didn’t know her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.

　　→ Not knowing her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.

　　由于不知道她的地址，我没法和她联系。

　　(3) As he was born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.

　　→ Born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.

　　他出生农民家庭，只上过两年学。

　　5. 结合使用长句与短句

　　在英语写作中，过多地使用长句或过多地使用短句都不好。正确的做法是，根据实际情况在文章中交替使用长句与短语，使文章显得错落有致，这样不仅使文章在形式上增加美感，而且使文章读起来铿锵有力。如：

　　At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Then we had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.

　　→ At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes and playing chess.

　　中午我们晒着太阳吃野餐。休息一会儿后，我们唱的唱歌，跳的跳舞，还有的讲笑话、下棋，大家玩得很开心。

　　6. 适当使用短语代替单词

　　(1) He has decided to be a teacher when he grows up.

　　→ He has made up his mind to be a teacher when he grows up.

　　他已决定长大了当老师。

　　(2) He doesn't like music.

　　→ He doesn't care much for music.

　　他不大喜欢音乐。

　　(3) He told me that the question was now under discussion.

　　→ He told me that the question was now being discussed.

　　他告诉我问题现正正在讨论中。
