A comparison between the new and old compositions in CET-4.
Analyzing the new CET-4 writing test, the author's point of view is to compare the composition types of the last old CET-4 test on June 24, 2006 with the first new CET-4 test on June 24, 2006.

In terms of genre, June 17, the old CET-4 composition test belongs to practical writing-"Announcement of a Volunteer Project" recruits volunteers. The outline is as follows:

1. The student union will organize volunteer activities and recruit volunteers during the summer vacation.

2. The purpose, content and arrangement of this volunteer activity.

3. Registration conditions and contact information

The new CET-4 composition test on June 24th is a standard argumentative essay-a topic about students' free choice of teachers in universities. The outline is as follows:

1. Some universities allow students to freely choose teachers for certain courses.

2. The main factors that students consider when choosing a teacher.

3. The advantages and possible problems of students choosing their own teachers.

First of all, look at the old CET-4 composition test on June 17, and you will find that although this topic has not been written, the outline content is very familiar. It can be said that the language and ideas have been described in detail in the classroom in connection with the real topic "Student Union President's Campaign Speech" in June 2005 1 and the real topic "Explanation of Class Schedule" in June 2004. How to draw it?

Secondly, if you look at the new CET-4 composition test on June 24th, you will find that this topic belongs to the standard phenomenon explanation topic, and contains some components of comparative viewpoint topic, which is actually a combination of phenomenon explanation and comparative viewpoint. The first paragraph leads to the phenomenon existing in universities-some universities allow students to choose teachers freely and describe the present situation. The second paragraph explains the reasons for the phenomenon of campus teaching, that is, the factors that students consider when choosing teachers, and why they are required to choose teachers freely. The benefits of the third paragraph can actually be merged into the second paragraph. The third paragraph mainly describes the future development trend and possible problems of such a campus problem, and then puts forward some solutions.

Through the above analysis, it can be said that the new CET-4 writing test still largely continues the most important question type in the past-argumentative writing. Of course, the two adjacent CET-4 exams this year, one for practical writing and the other for argumentative writing, are very reasonable and expected. The topics are not beyond the scope of the articles we talk about in class, they are all standard campus topics, and they also verify what the author said in the first class of each class.

As for the composition part of CET-4, I think all candidates should master the writing methods of practical writing, narrative writing and argumentative writing, accumulate words, sentences and paragraphs, and use them flexibly on the basis of certain accumulation. While good words and sentences are readily available, we should also have the ability to flexibly transform and reorganize.
