专八考试即使是对英语专业的本科生来说，难度都很大，考生可能准备了很久，最后还是挂了。接下来，小编就为大家送上一篇2018年专八写作预测范文，供大家参考。
题目：大学住宿舍还是租房?
参考范文：
Living in university dormitories or apartments in the community?
I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life, while juniors and seniors need the independence of off-campus life. Student’s needs change over four years, so their housing should too.
Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. You get the whole university experience. Plus, you interact more with other students. This includes not only your roommates, but everyone in your dormitory. The older students in the dormitory can be a big help for the new students. Keeping up with studies in your first year is hard enough. You should not have to worry about finding your way around and figuring out the university bureaucracy.
Living in the dormitory also makes a student feel more a part of the university community. There are more opportunities for becoming involved in university activities and networking with students and university administration.
Living off-campus, however, is a definite advantage for older students. Finding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord’s regulations, cooking meals, and figuring out budgets are all good practice for life after graduation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood.
Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them. Campus can be like little worlds of their own. There are few children or older people and everyone is focused on education. Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students coming from difference places. It is a chance to find out what other people think and feel.
I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students.
附：专八写作基本技巧
1.重新拟定标题
给summary起一个标题。用那些能概括文章主题思想的单词、短语或短句子作为标题。也可以采用文中的`主题句作为标题。
2.阐述观点
摘要应全部用自己的话完成。不要引用原文的句子。写概述的时候，如果能够明确是他人写作的文章，注意要把作者的名字放在第一句(或者是the author…….)。接着写出要阐述的main ideas(主要观点)和supporting points(对主要观点的支持)。
3.词汇运用
注意概述的coherence(连贯性)，运用好transition words(过渡词), like however, furthermore, nonetheless, besides, therefore etc.
4.删除细节
只保留主要观点。
5.选择一至两个有代表性的例子
原文中可能包括5个或更多的例子，你只需从中筛选一至二个例子。
