四 情景作文：誠信

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying “It takes years to build trust, and a few seconds to destroy it.” You can cite examples to illustrate the importance of maintaining trust. You should write at least 120 words, no more than 180 words.

（一）預測范文

A saying goes like this, “It takes years to build trust, and a few seconds to destroy it.” Indeed, honesty is the most important characteristic that a person should possess in order to lead a successful life. Only by constantly proving to be honest can a person earn the precious trust of family members and business partners.

On the one hand, parents’ relationship with their children must be based on trust and integrity. If a father promises many times to take his son to a football match and cancels every time, his son will naturally lose faith in his father’s words. On the other hand, in the business world, people with no trust will sooner or later earn the bad reputation they deserve. I have observed how destructive a person’s dishonesty has been to his chances for success, and how his relationships with other people are purely superficial, based only on self-interest.

Trust is a valuable asset, which is easy to lose but hard to gain. In the long run, an honest person will have earned the love and respect of the people closest to them, which, in my opinion, is the greatest measure of a successful life.

（二）參考譯文

有一句話這樣說道：“建立信任需要很多年，而毀掉它只需要幾秒鐘。”的確，若想人生有成，一個人所應具備的最重要的特質就是誠實。一個人只有一直證明自己是個誠實的人，才能贏得家人和商業伙伴的寶貴信任。

一方面，父母和孩子的關系必須建立在信任與誠實的基礎上。如果一位父親多次許諾兒子會帶他去看足球比賽，結果每次都取消計劃，那么慢慢地，兒子自然就不再相信父親說的話了。另一方面，在商界，不被信任的人遲早會落個身敗名裂。我目睹過一個人因為不誠實而毀掉了自己成功的機會，他與別人的關系完全以個人利益為基礎，因而純粹是膚淺的。

信任是一份珍貴的財富，失去容易獲得難。從長遠看，一個誠實的人將贏得最親密的人的愛和尊敬。在我看來，這就是衡量成功人生的最重要的尺度。

（四）道長點評

2015年12月的四級寫作再次體現了強烈的反押題傾向：考查了四級很少考查而六級一直考查的情景作文中的引語評論型作文，結果很多同學措手不及。希望考生對引語作文引起高度重視。
