四级

Directions： Suppose your university is seeking students’ opinions on whether university canteens should be open to the public. You are now to write an essay to express your view. You will have 30 minutes for the task. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

这道大学英语四级作文试题要求考生论述大学食堂是否应当向公众开放。考生对这个问题的回答就是文章的论点。论点本身并不重要，考生的回答既可以是肯定的，也可以是否定的，关键是要能自圆其说。

本文宜写三个段落。第一段先提出所要讨论的话题，然后亮出自己的观点——大学食堂应当为大学生和教职工专用，即大学食堂不应向公众开放。第二段论证自己的这个观点。我们不妨从三个方面展开。首先，食堂不仅仅是一个吃饭的地方，它还是一个学生放松、恢复精力和培养归属感的空间。因此，学校食堂必须保持安静和清洁，不受任何干扰。其次，食堂的空间有限，在就餐高峰时段连大学生都觉得难以找到空位，所以大学食堂无法容纳大批社会上的就餐者。最后还有安全方面的担忧。在向社会开放的大学食堂里，大学生经常发现他们的包或手机被偷。第三段先指出学校食堂除了向学生提供有营养的食物，它还是一个学生聚会和培养归属感的社交中心。然后水到渠成地重述观点：大学食堂似乎不应向公众开放。下面请看参考范文：

Should university canteens be open to the public？ This is a topic heatedly discussed on campus recently. As far as I can see， school cafeterias should be exclusively for college students and faculty members.

Canteens are more than just a place to eat. It’s a space where students relax， recharge and build a sense of community. So it is necessary to keep the university canteen quiet and clean， free from any disruption. Another reason is school canteens’ limited space， which is hardly adequate to accommodate swarms of non-student diners. College students already find it difficult to find a vacant seat in canteens during peak hours. There are also safety concerns. It is not uncommon to hear college students find their bags or mobile phones stolen in school dining halls accessible to the public.

Apart from offering students nutritious food， canteens serve as a social hub where students can gather together and foster a sense of belonging. It seems to me that university cafeterias should not be open to the general public. （171 words）
