The Spring Festival Evening Get-Together has been held in China for over two decades, which seems to have been an indispensable company during the traditional New Year’s Eve for a great number of people, who appear to be accustomed to enjoying the sights and sounds of a brilliant feast, while gathering with their beloved family.

　　However, an increasing number of people have voiced different opinions towards it, as more diverse life styles have emerged nowadays. Some prefer to go to a fancy restaurant to enjoy a gourmet meal; some intend to go on a vacation to an incredibly exotic destination for a novel and thorough relaxation; others may have even more post-modern notions, like go bunging, hiking, or cycling for entirely new different experiences, forgetting all about the Spring Festival.

　　To me, the Evening Get-Together is supposed to be here to stay. It may not remain a must for all people, but it can bring us a strong sense of festivity and serve as an alternative among the variety of holiday activities. Besides, with such a gathering, family members will have a perfect opportunity to enjoy more fun and happiness, for nowadays most people are so engaged in their daily businesses that they can rarely find any extra time to stay with their family, which, if not properly adjusted, might add further to the already worsening situation of the values of Chinese families.

１．许多人喜欢在除夕夜观看春节晚会

２．但有些人提出取消春节晚会．

３．我的看法．

    The approach of the Chinese Lunar New Year poses a national issue
concerning the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Its established
status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by
younger generations. It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes.

    Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other
programs. These young people focus their attention on other forms of
celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV. Despite that, the
 majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the
importance of the traditional performance. The most striking feature of
this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary people's lives.
Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional
Chinese Spring Festival Eve. They all have a restless night and glue their
eyes on the television.

   I am not supportive of the view that the grand gala should be abandoned. Undoubtedly, it
plays a vital role in the celebration of Chinese New Year. To increase its
appeal and meet young adults' need, the upcoming performance should invite
some big names including super stars from Hongkong and Taiwan. We are all
eagerly anticipating this unforgettable evening show.

 点评:

本次四级考试作文总体上来说并不是很难。但表现出两个出人意料：一是体裁，二是题材。

  对于体裁来说，本次四级作文属于正反对比论证类的文体。比较出人意料，又回到了老的考查模式。很多学生把考前死背的作文模板派上了用场。但是这只能得到最基本的分数。虽然模板对于考查学生的语言表达并不益处，但还能测试出考生的语言基本功。从四级考试写作的测试目的来看，还是注重考查学生对基本语法、基本词汇运用能力的掌握情况。所以除了模板之外，考生还要在基本表达上狠下功夫，只有在平时多操练，在考场上才游刃有余。除此之外，学生还要在作文中多采用闪光点，这样就会使作文在基本分数上有所提升，有所突破。

  对于题材，本次四级作文的话题是关于人们对于春节晚会的不同看法，属于社会生活类话题，一反常态，没有再次考查校园类话题。但是对于当代大学生来说，与大学生有关的社会话题也是需要关注的，这也说明考试方向的变化：校园类话题与社会热点话题同等重要,这一点对于未来考四级的学生的作文备考的方向有一定的指导意义。
