英语专业四级写作如何高分

(一)写作题的性质 写作是人们表达思想的一种重要手段,我们称之 为 comprehensive test 的综合测试,体现的是学生综合 运用语言的能力。 因为它不仅考核考生对词汇的掌握、 对语法的应用 , 同时也考查了学生的表达能力、 思维 的逻辑性和条理性。我们知道,学习英语需掌握四种

大家论坛 club.topsage.com

技能:听、说、读、写。听和读是语言的 input(输入) 过程,因而对于听力和阅读的测试是考查学习者的被 动英文技能;说和写是语言的 output(输出)过程, 对于 口语和写作的测试则是考查学习者的主动英文技能。 学习者的被动英文水平往往高于主动英文水平,因此 听力理解材料的难度往往大于口语的内容,阅读理解 材料的难度往往要大于写作。由此可见,在经过两年 基础专业课的学习后,学习者应该将重点放在把被动 英文水平转化成主动英文水平上 。 一旦我们的大脑有 了大量的语言输出之后,就能达到出口成章、下笔有 神的境界。 (二)英语专业四级写作要求 (1)能根据各种不同的听读材料笔头回答问题,复 述内容写摘要、写提纲和记笔记。 (2)能根据题目列出写作提纲,在一小时内写出 200~250 词的短文。 以上均要求做到内容完整、条理清楚,语法基本 正确,语言通顺恰当。 (3)能写一般的书信、通知、便条、请帖,填写简 单的表格,格式正确,语言得体。 写作课培养学生初步写作能力,包括提纲、文章 摘要、短文以及最简单的常用应用文。

(三)考试大纲对英语专业写作的要求和规定 (1)测试目的:按照英语专业基础阶段英语教学大 纲的要求,检查学生在基础阶 段末期的英语写作能 力。 (2)题型:主观试题,分为 Section A 和 Section B 两个部分。 Section A: Composition 写作文 Section B: Note-writing 写便条 (3)测试要求: a)作文。要求根据所给的题目和列出的写作提纲 或图表、数字统计表等(也附有写作提纲) 写一篇 150 词的短文,能做到内容切题、完整,条理清楚,文章 结构严谨,语法正确,语言通顺恰当。作文的类别有 说明文、议论文或记叙文。考试时间为 35 分钟。 b)便条。要求根据提示写大约 50~60 词的便条、 通知、请帖等。要求做到格式正确,语言得体。考试 时间为 10 分钟。 (四)英语专业四级写作的评分标准 (1)文章内容切题、丰富,文章通顺,表达清楚。 (2)行文流畅。 (3)组织严密,逻辑性强。 (4)句型多样化,句法结构正确。

(5)用词得体、恰当、丰富。 (6)语法正确。 (7)拼写及标点正确,书写整洁。(五)高分密招 很多学习者翻开作文书籍,就如同想打开一本武 功秘籍,只希望看到 5 个字母 trick(技巧) 。技巧固然 十分重要,但在应试准备中,常常需要 70%的基础和 30%的技巧。这里要提醒 大家的是,不可高估技巧的 作用,犹如在武打片中,要想得到某某宝典和剑法, 是需要付出惨痛的代价的。 在考场中,常常感到无话可说,该怎么办? 的确,在考场中有些考生由于紧张,常常会出现 大脑一片空白, 10 分钟之内动不了笔。 在 对于这种在 考场中思维短路的现象,有两种对策。 对策一: 逆向思维法。 考生在拿到一个作文话题、 但不知该如何动笔时, 可以去联想有关该 话题的具体 事件, 从具体事件中提炼出观点, 再将观点反弹回去, 即 topic 具体事件观点。例如看到 The Advantage and Disadvantage of TV 这个文章题目时, 如果不知如何下 笔,可以去联想一些具体的电视节目。一提到电视节 目,就会自然而然地想到《新闻联播》《新闻联播》 。 有哪些好处呢?当然是开拓视野,了解世界。同时,还 会联想到一些暴力片和色情片,它们对儿童的身心健

大家论坛 club.topsage.com

康发展不利。 对策二:正说反说法。考生在写作中感到观点空 洞茫然,不易理论清楚,甚至不知从何谈起时,可以 从正、 反两个方面对议题进行“摆事实, 讲道理”, 即“如 果这样,就会怎么样; 如果不这样,又会怎么样”。 在写作中,遇到不会表达的词语该怎么办? 对于母语是中文的学习者,其中文词汇量往往大 于英文词汇量, 在英文写作中遇到不能表 达的词语是 最正常不过的事情了。但有的考生在遇到不会拼写的 单词时,往往绞尽脑汁,冥思苦想,结果造成思维短 路,得不偿失。其实,对于这种情况,也有两种对策。 对策一:用其近义词代替。 如在写 Student Use of Computer 这篇作文时,很 多同学以“在 最近 10 年里, 学生使用电脑的小时数一 直在增加”这句话来开头。 年”可以用 decade 表 示, “10 “增加”可以用 ascend 表示。但是不知道这两个词或对 于它们的拼写没有把握时, 可用 其近义词表示, 如“10 年”直接用 ten years 就可以, “增加”还可用 increase, go up, ri se, grow, jump, climb 等。在这个时候,考生必须 遵守“宁为瓦全,不可玉碎”的原则。 这就要求在平时 注意多收集一些同义词。如在每一篇作文中都会用到

大家论坛 club.topsage.com

的一个单词“认为”, 英文中有很多单词来表达此义, 如 think, agree, claim, maintain, argue, believe, h old, suggest, view…as, regard…as, consider…(as)。 又如另一 个单词“目前,最近” ,可用 nowadays, these years, recently, lately, currently, at present。此外, 同义词的 收集与运用有助于考生在写作中用词多样化。 对策二: 当考生在写作中, 既找不到该词 的近义 词,又不能用解释性的语言进行阐述时,考生可以考 虑用其上义词或下义词来代替。 上义词是对事物的概括性、抽象性说明;下义词 是事物的具体表现形式。如 Owing a Car 这 篇文章谈 到拥有汽车的弊端,其中有一点是汽车会排放出一氧 化碳(carbon oxide)和二氧化 碳(carbon dioxide),对空 气造成污染。当然,如果不知道如何拼写,更不知该 如何去 释义一氧化碳和二氧化碳时, 可以用它们的上 义词 poisonous gases 来表示, 因为不 论是一氧化碳还 是二氧化碳都是有毒气体。又如 Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus(大学生该如何走出校园了 解世界), 提纲的第二点要求是大学生了解社会的途径 ( 大众媒体、 社会服务等)。 “大众媒体”为 mass media, “社会服务”为 social service。 如果考生不会表达,但 是在提纲里又明确规定不能不写时,可以用其下义词

大家论坛 club.topsage.com

来代替。大众媒 体的具体表现形式是 TV,radio, newspaper, internet; 社会服务的具体表现形式则为 par t\|time job, tutoring 等。因而,考生在写作中遇到不会 表达的单词时,应该沉着冷静 ,考虑用其近义词、上 义词或下义词来代替。 对策二:当考生在写作中,既找不到该词 的近义词, 又不能用解释性的语言进行阐述时,考生可以考虑用 其上义词或下义词来代替。 上义词是对事物的概括性、抽象性说明;下义词 是事物的具体表现形式。如 Owing a Car 这 篇文章谈 到拥有汽车的弊端,其中有一点是汽车会排放出一氧 化碳(carbon oxide)和二氧化 碳(carbon dioxide),对空 气造成污染。当然,如果不知道如何拼写,更不知该 如何去 释义一氧化碳和二氧化碳时, 可以用它们的上 义词 poisonous gases 来表示, 因为不 论是一氧化碳还 是二氧化碳都是有毒气体。又如 Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus(大学生该如何走出校园了 解世界), 提纲的第二点要求是大学生了解社会的途径 社会服务等)。 “大众媒体”为 mass media, ( 大众媒体、 “社会服务”为 social service。 如果考生不会表达,但

是在提纲里又明确规定不能不写时,可以用其下义词 来代替。大众媒 体的具体表现形式是 TV,radio, newspaper, internet; 社会服务的具体表现形式则为 par t\ time job, tutoring 等。因而,考生在写作中遇到不 会表达的单词时,应该沉着冷静 ,考虑用其近义词、 上义词或下义词来代替。 如何给阅卷老师留下美好的第一印象 要想作文获得高分,显而易见就是要给阅卷老师 留下美好的印象。老师们的阅卷过程是郁闷枯燥的。 使自己的文章在大约 1 分钟的阅读时间内,迅速地在 他们的脑海中形成较多的兴奋点,是至关重要的。 首先, 作文的写作时间为 35 分钟, 合理的时间安 排为 10+20+5,前面的 10 分钟用来读题审题 ,构思 并列提纲,接着的 20 分钟用来按照提纲写作,最后 5 分钟用来检查及润色。合理的时 间安排是写出优秀 作文的必不可少的第一步。 其次,卷面的设置。要想让阅卷老师对你的作文 试卷有一种赏心悦目的感觉,作文的排版应该不多于

大家论坛 club.topsage.com

2/3,不少于 1/3,要留有余地,不要将卷面写得密密 麻麻。字体不要过大或过小。字迹要工整。段落方面, 英语专业四级考试作文的特点决定了作文写法的基本 框架为三段论。俗话说,事不过三,超过了三段后就 会让人感到过于繁琐。并且应当注意的是,每段开头 都应该有缩进,留有两个单词的位置。 再次,除了形式之外,作文 的内容也尤其重要。 阅卷老师阅卷一般是从第一段看语言,从第二段看结 构。 这就要求考生 的作文开头部分以及每一段的第一 句一定要写得像英文,不要出现任何的拼写或语法错 误。 除了语言的地道外,还要求作文有层次感。可以 用一系列表示逻辑关系的连词, 即路标 词来表示思路 的清晰,如 and, however, furthermore,also, what's more 等。 此外, 还可 以用对等的句式结构, for one thing, 如 for another; On the one hand, on the other hand 等来增 加文章的层次感。总之,议论文对语言的要求主要体 现在三个方面:①用 恰当的逻辑词表现文章的逻辑 性。②要注意自然段与主题句的运用,即用自然段表 现出文章 的逻辑性,并在每段中用主题句说明要点, 给人一目了然的感觉。 ③要注意句型结构, 注意 每句 的重心和句与句之间的衔接,使句意一环扣一环,避

免松散。 便条的写作 便条是一种简单的书信形式。要求学生仔细阅读 和分析所给的情景, 确定便条所涉及的内容 , 如写便 条者与便条接收者的身份、两者之间的关系及情景的 正式程度等。便条的特点在于内容简短,大多是临时 性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。与正规书信相比, 便条的语言更为口语化。有急事需告诉别人而又不能 面谈时,就可以写便条,如请假条、留言条等。一般 不写地址,与普通书信基本相同。结尾时也无需要结 尾礼词,只需要写上便条者姓名。便条的日期一般只 要写上星期几,也可以写明上午、下午的具体时间。 便条具有用途广泛、形式简单、文字要求不十分严格 的特点。

Saving money or spending tomorrow’s today money Money is to our life what blood is to our body. In the world today, nobody could live without money. According to a recent survey conducted by

大家论坛 club.topsage.com

one authoritative information corporation, an estimated 67% of college students in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Wuhan, and est. think saving money is a good habit. On the contrary, the rest are convinced that spending tomorrow’s money is better. As far as I am concerned, saving money best suits me and renders me the greatest enjoyment. Admittedly, spending tomorrow’s money, as

advocated by many, has its active role to play in our economic life. It can spur people to make more money to enjoy life. And consumerism brought about by this trend can of course do a great deal to drive forward our economy. However, there are numerous merits for saving money. First things first, saving money is a preparation for a secured life. The best way to secure a safe and sound life and be free from poverty, want and anxiety about future is, of course, in current situation, to have a certain amount of money in hand. In our daily life,

大家论坛 club.topsage.com

various things unexpected and emergent may fall upon us. In these cases, if we have savings, we can manage to overcome these crises more easily. In addition, money dissipating and luxurious life can weaken us. By contrast, just as Albert Einstein put it, “a simple and unassuming life is good for everybody, physically and mentally.” By and large, why so many people advocate spending tomorrow’s money and so many exclaim the dogma is beyond my understanding. It seems that it can bring us nothing but anxiety and more uncertainty about our life, while saving for the rainy day, a fine tradition of Chinese nationality, can provide us with the greatest security and the best satisfaction of life.

    What if everyone got a reward for everything they did in life, would it have any real value to the award? Participation trophies are being handed out to every young athlete without any true meaning, which is sending the wrong message to these young athletes. If every young athlete gets a trophy, the less meaning each trophy will show. Which also leads to the false belief behind each participation award. Many might disagree with me and think rewarding young athletes with participation trophies is beneficial to improving on skills, which can be correct but is it really worth wasting money from the team funds on something useless? According to "Trophies For All" policy, youth athletes are being awarded with participation trophies. Participation trophies shouldn't just be handed out, it should be earned.…

    American Born Chinese was a book that I would have initially missed reading because it didn’t appeal to me then. However, it wasn’t until the three narratives intertwined at the end that I realized that this was a great read. Jin, Danny, and the Monkey King all have one thing in common; they try to become something they are not, and they lose their sense of identity until the realization of the truth that we cannot fight who we really are. Jin comes to America and desperately tries to fit in with his classmates and assimilate. The Monkey King tried to become something greater than himself, and become an equal with the other deities. Danny is what looks to be a normal high school student, but is plagued by his Chinese cousin’s visits every year to his school. Each story has different content but primarily focuses on the theme of identity, and how each of them find their own identity.…
