2014年12月英语六级作文真题范文及点评：学历歧视（新东方在线版1）
From the cartoon given above, we can observe that there is a recruiter talking with an interviewee. When looking at the resume submitted by the candidate, the interviewer says,“Sorry, kid… Your resume looks good, but you only have a Master’s degree…All the other applicants are Ph.D. ! ” Having heard these words, the applicant seems to be quite helpless and embarrassed.
The cartoon reveals that the society has been placing a higher value on educational degree. What factors might contribute to this phenomenon? Answers to this question may involve many aspects, and here are a few guesses: for one thing, from the subjective aspect, quite a few employers hold that the higher educational degree people have, the more competent they will be. For another, from the objective aspect, with the professions in modern society becoming increasingly segmented, employees are required to acquire higher degree to fulfill their tasks efficiently.
Definitely, higher degrees enjoy obvious advantages. However, it is not advisable that employers judge a person only by his/ her educational backgrounds. Let alone “Degree Discrimination”. As for ourselves, we should not only attach a great importance to educational degree, but also spare no efforts to enhance our comprehensive abilities.
【名师简评】
2014年12月20日六级真题，写作部分打破了2014年6月14日六级写作的出题风格，具有以下四大大特点：
1. 反押题：此次作文，不再考察2011年12月、2012年12月、2013年6、13月和2014年6月共5次“全英文引语、名言警句”作文的惯例，继2012年6月之后，第二次考察漫画作文;
2. 易审题：依旧没有考察考生“审题能力”以及“跑题偏题”的可能性，作文的主题非常开放而明显，所有考生都有话好说;相对2014年12月上午四级作文而言，六级的作文相对“不够接地气，不够生活会化”，而是与“网络、文化、心态”等这样传统话题有关，看似题目很大，其实难度较小;
3. 重语言：主题明确，不会跑题，考生比拼的就是“语言质量”本身了。
4. 技巧和能力并重：北京新东方四六级课堂所倡导的“写作技巧与范文背诵”作文备考思路依旧得到体现和应用。考生既要规律性总结历年真题出题的特点，又要勤加背诵和练习考前的范文。宗旨，多背，多写，背好，写好，总能够在考场上有话好说，有分可拿!
