　　夏老师的点评
　　这篇作文切题，内容充实，表达思想亦比较清楚,达到了大学英语四级的写作要求。该生对英语语法和句子结构掌握得相当好，可见他在学习英语上是花了功夫的。不足的是对英语的惯用法和词语的搭配还不够留心，对一些词的确切意思把握得还不够好，个别地方词不达意。下面是几点具体的修改建议：
　　1. 第一段第一句中的"or you just desire for a chance"应改为"or you just long for a chance"。"Desire"是及物动词，后面不加介词，直接接宾语。例如：
　　This is the very effect we desire (to achieve).
　　当然，"desire"作名词用时，后面接介词for, 例如：
　　His desire for power can never be satisfied.
　　同一句中的"show your excellent spoken English"语言上没有错，但是有骄傲之意，建议改为"help your fellow students with their oral English"。
　　2. 第二段第一句中的"Our club is aimed to help one to have more confidence…"应改为"Our club aims to help you to gain more confidence…"。 "Aim to"一般用语态，主语可以是人或单位，也可以是事物。如果主语为事物而且需要强调被动语态时，一般用"to be aimed at"。试看下面的例句：
　　From here on we aim to be a high-productivity high-wage plant.
　　Locke aims to defend his view that all our ideas derive from experience.
　　The program aims to stimulate children’s interest in science.
　　The event aims to bring together people working in television, students, trainees and those with an interest in the industry.
　　The police detected a virus that was aimed at the coming election.
　　3. 第二段第二句中的"it will provide you a series of … activities"应改为"it will provide you with a series of … activities"。"provide"后不接双宾语。接下去的"such as…"不能单独成句，应与上句合并。另外，"English corner"和"film"均为物名，不是一种活动，应作相应的改动。
　　4. 第三段第三句"it is a good opportunity for you to make true friends from different places"应改为"it is a good opportunity for you to meet friends from different places"。"与……交朋友"是"make friends with"。英语中没有"make true friends"这种讲法，与"true friends"相搭配的动词是 "find"和"become"，例如：
　　If you have found true friends, you have real treasure.
　　Karelius knew that he and Moreau, however cordial their relations, could never become true friends.
　　5. 第三段第四句中的"you will be granted a chance"应改为"you will be offered a chance"。"grant"的意思是"给予(你请求的东西)"，与"offer"(主动给予)不完全一样。
　　6. 第三段第四句中的"certify your competence"用得不妥。"certify"意为"证实，证明……合格，给……发证书", 例如：
　　In addition, he had to certify that restoration was both practicable and in the public interest.
　　Beef exports must be certified safe and disease-free.
　　Nancy was certified as a nurse in 2006.
