从2013年6月英语四级考试开始，作文题型的命题特点向考研作文出题方式靠拢。这预示着国家希望更多的准研究生英语方面的能力能达到四级水平，使四级考试和考研考试有个流畅的过度和衔接，充分将考研写作与四级写作结合，不同之处在于四级写作字数少，难度上低于考研写作。

例如：
2013年6月四级考试作文漫画简述：一个老师在黑板上教数学乘法口诀，如：2X2=4 2x3=6 ……学生在听课，其中一个学生说：no offense, by the time in the job market, it is out of dated. 以此作文。首先简要描述，然后就the importance of learning basic skill 写一篇more than 120 words but not more than 180 words. (30 minutes)图画反映的主题：大学生在校从商，创业，好不好？是学业重要，还是社会经历重要？

范文：
Nowadays, college students going in for business become more and more popular in campus, even many college students think that is very fashionable. As to this trend, different people have different views.

For me, every coin has two sides, thus college students going in for business has advantages as well as disadvantages, but advantages outweigh the disadvantages. As a college student, I think taking part in business when we still in college has following advantages. Firstly, doing business can develop our communication and management abilities. From purchase to sell, students must communicate with many different people, such as wholesalers and customers, so we can learn many communication skills from this process. Students also have to make some market researches to decide what we will go in for; we should find out wholesalers who can cooperate stably with us; how we set price; how we promote and so on. See, students’ communication and management skills can be developed from above things.
