A Proposal for Improving School Library Service
Dear Director,
I am a freshman of Shanghai University. I am writing to put forward a proposal to improve the service of our school library.
There are mainly two problems besetting the library. First, the books and materials are in bad need of updating. Many students have stopped patronizing it because they cannot find relevant academic materials. A possible solution is to urge the school authorities to channel more funds to the library. Another problem is lack of professional staff. A good library is one staffed with smiling librarians, ready to lend a helping hand when they see a student has trouble finding a book. But the librarians in our library are mostly unsmiling, unhelpful and unfriendly. This problem can be solved by hiring more high-calibre professionals.
The library is the heart of a university and plays a key role in students academic life. I hope that effective measures will be taken to ensure that books are regularly updated and staff professionally trained.

語言亮點(diǎn)借鑒:
1. There are mainly two problems besetting the library.主要有兩個(gè)問題困擾著圖書館。besetting the library是現(xiàn)在分詞短語做定語,修飾problems。
2. A good library is one staffed with smiling librarians, ready to lend a helping hand when they see a student has trouble finding a book.好的圖書館配備有笑容滿面的管理員,看到學(xué)生找書有困難會(huì)伸出援助之手。staffed with smiling librarians是過去分詞短語做定語,修飾one。have trouble/difficulty doing sth做某事有困難。
3. The library is the heart of a university and plays a key role in students academic life.圖書館是大學(xué)的核心,在學(xué)生的學(xué)術(shù)生活中起著關(guān)鍵作用。
4. I hope that effective measures will be taken to ensure that books are regularly updated and staff professionally trained. 我希望將會(huì)采取有效措施,以保證圖書經(jīng)常更新、員工受到專業(yè)培訓(xùn)。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay that begins with the sentence “Nowadays more and more people keep learning new skills to adapt to a fast-changing world.” You can make comments, cite examples or use your personal experiences to develop your essay. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
這道2022年6月的大學(xué)英語六級(jí)作文試題屬于分析現(xiàn)象型作文,其特點(diǎn)是題目提出一種社會(huì)現(xiàn)象,請(qǐng)考生分析。本題所要分析的社會(huì)現(xiàn)象是如今越來越多的人不斷學(xué)習(xí)新技能,以適應(yīng)快速變化的世界。
我們可以把這篇作文寫成三個(gè)段落。第一段先提出所要分析的現(xiàn)象——如今越來越多的人不斷學(xué)習(xí)新技能,以適應(yīng)快速變化的世界。為了言之有據(jù),接著引用一項(xiàng)在上海所做的研究作為支撐。第二段分析這個(gè)社會(huì)現(xiàn)象,可以從分析原因的角度展開。為了使分析充分透徹,我們要善于從不同的方面或?qū)用嬲归_論述。就本文而言,我們不妨把“越來越多的人”分成年輕人和老年人,分別地討論他們不斷學(xué)習(xí)新技能的原因。第一,年輕人學(xué)習(xí)新技能是為了發(fā)展自己的職業(yè)。在快速變化的職場(chǎng),年輕人如果不能保持自己的技能經(jīng)常更新,他們就會(huì)失去競(jìng)爭力,很容易被取代。第二,老年人學(xué)習(xí)新技能是為了保持頭腦敏捷。為了論證這一點(diǎn),可以以自己80歲的爺爺為例:他最近報(bào)名參加了一門電腦課程,現(xiàn)在他會(huì)自己重裝電腦系統(tǒng),更不用說網(wǎng)上沖浪和網(wǎng)購。本文可以用建議法結(jié)尾。第三段先總結(jié)全文,指出學(xué)習(xí)并非止于畢業(yè)。在這個(gè)不斷變化的世界上,無論是為了事業(yè)還是為了健康,我們都必須不斷學(xué)習(xí)。最后建議大家每天都要學(xué)習(xí)新東西。下面請(qǐng)看參考范文:
Nowadays more and more people keep learning new skills to adapt to a fast-changing world. A recent study surveyed 1,000 adults from a wide spectrum of professions in Shanghai and found that 84.1 percent of those polled said they were learning one new skill or another.
Young people expand their skill base mainly to improve their career. For them, learning new things is more requirement than choice. If they dont keep their skills up to date in todays rapidly changing workplace, they will stop being competitive and can easily get replaced. For senior citizens, however, learning new skills is an effective way to keep mentally active. Take my 80-year-old grandpa as an example. He recently signed up for a computer course. It has worked wonders. He can now reinstall the operating system of his computer, not to mention surfing the Web and shopping online.
Learning does not necessarily end when you graduate from school. Whether for health or career purposes, learning new skills is a must in this constantly changing world. So make it your goal to learn something new each and every day! (184 words)
