第一篇:名师指导:谈谈大学英语写作心得
英文写作是大学生在英语考试中最薄弱的一环。很多同学花了大量的时间和精力,却很难在这一项上有所突破。比方说,天天用一个小时来练习浏览,一段时间以后,浏览的速度和正确度都会有比较明显的进步;然而,天天用一个小时来写作,可能每次写的作文质量不会有太大的差异。可以说,在写作上的练习是一项投入产出比较低的工作。事实上,写作也有一定的技能,这些技能不被人所留意,缘由在于:写作的技能很大程度上不能从分析考试题目本身来得出,需要通过对大量英文文章的学习和总结得来,即工夫在题外。笔者在英语写作中有几点心得。
一、要善于模仿
对大多数学习英语的同学来讲,英语的辞汇量、句式的积累还极其有限,远不能到达用英文流畅表达,挥洒自若的地步。在这一阶段进行创作是分歧时宜的,假如非要创造,只能写出long time no see这样的文字来。因此,模仿是这一阶段的必经途径。
谈到模仿,一些同学的办法就是背一堆范文,然后再到考场上进行一个剪切、粘贴的工作,效果可想而知。这不是真正意义上的模仿,充其量算是默写课文。如何模仿呢?
首先,模仿的目标要明确。模仿的重点永久要放在一定的句式结构上,而非个别的辞汇。道理很简单:一个词,随着文章内容的变换,可能就不能用了;而句式结构是放置四海而皆准的东西,适用的范围广,学来对写作的帮助也就明显。
其次,模仿的材料要隧道。像新概念英语这样的教材就提供了很多原汁原味的英语表达法。盲目选择文章学习,记一些不中不洋的句子,以谣传讹,浪费时间。
最后,模仿要体现在实际动笔上。比如说,新概念第三册有一个句式说:&for the *** reasonthat&表示某种现象的缘由是甚么,用在大学英语考试中,我们就可以够拿来解释为甚么自行车在中国如此的流行,表达为:The bicycleis very popular in China for the *** reasonthat&。然而,很多同学经常背了这些句式不用,一谈到缘由依然是&because&,等等。
二、要灵活变通
在批改英语作文的进程中,经常能发现一些将中文僵硬地翻译成英文的表达法。由于中英文之间的差异和辞汇量、表达法积累的不足,出现难于表达的情况是十分正常的。关键题目在于如何处理。有一句话叫做立志如山,行道如水,套用在这个题目上就很合适。写英文作文,一定要有决心把它写好,有信心把意思表达清楚,这是立志如山;但关键是碰到题目时要有个灵活的态度,能像流水一样变通解决题目。
有个翻译界的故事说:在某大型国际会议的接待会上,一道菜是用鸡蛋做的。与会的客人问翻译:What is it madeof?本来是非常简单的一个题目,结果翻译太紧张,忘了egg这个词,但是他急中生智,回答:It is made of MissHens son.这里,就是一个灵活变通的范例。绕道表达,是写作中应当经常应用的一种方法。
第二篇:名师指导BEC中高级写作
名师指导BEC中高级写作
商务英语证书(BUSINESS
ENGLISH
CERTIFICATE)是教育部考试中心和英国剑桥大学考试委员会合作,于1993年起举办的考试。它在很大程度上借用了雅思的一些出题思路。在接下来的文章中,我们从官方介绍中寻找该考试的目的,并讲解中高级写作的一般方式,以及通过官方提供的样文来分析BEC考试的作文评分方式。
首先,我们先解析中华人民共和国教育部考试中心对BEC考试的介绍。“该系列考试是一项语言水平考试,根据公务或商务工作的实际需要,对考生在一般工作环境下和商务活动中使用英语的能力从听、说、读、写四个方面进行全面考查,对成绩及格者提供由英国剑桥大学考试委员会颁发的标准统一的成绩证书。该证书由于其颁发机构的权威性,在英国、英联邦各国及欧洲大多数国家的商业企业部门 获得认可,成为确认证书持有者英语能力证明的首选证书,同时也是在所有举办该项考试的国家和地区求职的”通行证“。
商务英语证书考试(BEC)由中英双方合办。英国剑桥大学考试委员会负责命题,阅卷,颁发证书。中国教育部考试中心负责报名、印制试卷和组织考试。
BEC 中级写作45分钟、;BEC 高级 写作70分钟……考试答题卡由教育部考试中心海外考试处汇集后寄英国剑桥大学考试委员会评卷。评出成绩后BEC 中级分A、B、C、D、E五等;BEC 高级分A、B、C、D、E五等,),打印成绩通知单(包括不及格的D、E、Fail)和成绩证书,寄至教育部考试中心后寄发各考点向考生颁发。”
从这段文字中,我们可以看出,BEC考试不是考专业的商务知识,而是“一般中做环境下和商务活动中”的语言应用。所以,语言的本身功夫才是考核的重点。夯实语言基础在写作考试中起着决定性的作用。
第二,中级考试作文两个部分:小作文,memo,note,email,和message,一般是公司内部交流。大作文,correspondence,report,proposal。高级:小作文,图表。大作文中级相似。这里要指出的是,和国内四六级考试的作文评分方式有很多不同的地方。特别是不表类文章。BEC的考试文章对格式要求是比较严格的。
第三,作文总的做题方式。
1、提纲所示内容一定要以明确方式体现在文章当中。这是判断是否完成任务,是否偏题的依据。所以,提纲的内容改编成中心句体现在文章中这是必要的。
2、其次是逻辑,即英文的逻辑是建立在形式逻辑上的。文章中得出现上下承接的词汇。如,我们工作失误,向你道歉。应该改为:因为我的工作失误,所以向您道歉。
3、结构上应该是中心句+1、2、3的模式。即,文章的第一段一定是中心段,作者的观点和文章的要旨得在第一段得以体现,之后是分支观点,每段的第一句是中心句,后面是支持这一中心的论据而已。
4、英文是定量语言。也就是说,不能仅仅依靠一个名人的话语就可以决定观点的正确,得有推论,得有例证。
5、要避免简单但严重的错误,如主谓一致、单复数问题、时态、简单词的拼写,和搭配。这些错误看似简单,但十分严重。在英国人的这套考试体系中,是要检测的是有着良好英文修养的人在一般商务情况下的语言英语。在我们看来很简单的错误,如,we are student.这仅仅是单复数问题,在考官看来却能证明考试缺乏基本的英文修养。所以,夯实基础是必要的。
6、用词上不一定要用大词汇,考官要的是variety。也就是用词的多样性。同一个意思的词在原文出现多次,那么要尽可能换为它的近义表达,或者改编词性出现,这是所有英文考试作文部分都要看的。
第四,下面我们用人民邮电出版社出的BEC真题集中的样文来进一步分析说明考官的关注点和评分点。这是市面上不多的,由剑桥大学考试委员会直接编写和评述的样文,仔细分析,更有利于发现问题。(例一:《剑桥BEC真题集 第3辑 高级》,剑桥大学考试委员会,人民邮电出版社,2006年9月第一版;例二:《剑桥BEC真题集 第3辑 中级》,剑桥大学考试委员会,人民邮电出版社,2006年9月第一版)
例一 Question
The Chief Executive of your company is concerned that staff morale seems to have deteriorated and has invited suggestions for making improvements.Write a proposal to the Chief Executive:
suggestion why morale is low
outlining the effects of low morale
proposing some ways of improving morale
indicating any disadvantages of your proposal.Sample A(4分)
Introduction: This proposal aims at showing why staff morale has deteriorated and suggests ways of improving the current situation.Findings: Apart from most superiors„ opinion that their subordinates are not happy with their job and have developed a low moral towards it due to unsatisfactory salaries and not enough fringe benefits,a survey among the workforce has shown that the real reasons for this problem are to be found elsewhere.Many of the employees mentioned their fixed working hours and yet constantly changing amounts of incoming orders,whichleads to boredom at work on some days and pure stress on others.But even more staff members have complaint about constant organizational changes without ever getting the information of what exactly will changed beforehand.The effects can be noticed in every department of the company.Superiors and department directors say that their subordinates are not willing to do any extra work and are absolutely not open for any changes.Recommendations: It is suggested that the first step towards a better work atmosphere be the introduction of flexi time.That way the employees can leave earlier when there isn‟t much work to do and stay longer when the amount of work rises.The problem of organizational changes should be tackled in three different ways.First of all superiors are to be encouraged to pass more information on to the workforce,secondly the employees should become more involved in the decision making process and at last there should be annual feed backs by the employees about their superiors.The downside of these actions is that they are quite time consuming and this of course leads to more costs but on the other hand there will be less fluctuation.文章结构清晰,语言自然。文章组织和前后链接好。尽管有少许语言错误,但应该是高分档次。具体来说,看结构,该文第一段就说明了proposal的目的,论证过程introduction-findings-recommendations。西方文化是讲求程序化的,也就是说这个引言――论证――结论是固定的结构,这样才能让考官清晰的看到作者的意图和布局。
Sample B(2 分)
The employe„s moral is at a very low level and get deteriorated over the last year.There are some reasons for that:
---First of all,the market is not growing which means that nobody is seeing how things could go better and nothing is moving forward.---There are more and more cost‟s controls and in an other hand,employees can see other departments spending money for “useless” furnitures.---Customers are requesting more and more and employes have the feeling they have to do more relationship,politic tan real technical work..Because of those,people are spending time by shouting around against customers,company and colleagues.They are criticizing others,sometimes to times they answer “badly” to customer and their job„s quality is falling down.The proposals to fight against these and to go back to the high quality with motivated employes are:
---Management should handle the political part out of the employe‟s hob.Employes have to stay focused on their core competency,the technical things.---By implementing web based training employes could spent their “shouting” time to train themselves from their desk to improve their knowledge and to make their job better.By this,company avoid any extra costs for accommodations,travel and time spend in training classes.These measure bring more workload on Management and more time spent with employes and customers.Web based training means less time spent on “real” work because of the tie needed to learn and assimil the course„ contents.该文用了足够词汇来回答问题,做到提纲要求的延伸。但语言错误明显,表述目的不明,结构混乱。以上画线部分是很明显的错误,还没包括一些搭配错误等。结构上,该文的中心放在了中间段落,目的不清晰,总结和推论混为一谈。
例二,Your department needs to recruit more staff.Your line manager wants you to write a report explaining your requirements and commenting on recruitment methods.Look at the information below,on which you have already made some handwritten notes.Then,using all your handwritten notes,write your report.Write 120-140 words.Sample1(5分)
Report on staff recruitment
As our company is developing several new products,the department of R&D needs new staff urgently to help design and monitor our products.Thus we need to recruit 35 new staff,including electrical engineers and product developers.All of them should have at least two years ‟ experience in relevant field.More specific requirements will finally be decided in a few days.As to recruitment methods,the disadvantage of relying on recruitment agency is that we need more time and procedure than we can afford.So I suggest we turn to a more direct way of Newspaper advertisement,which has been used many times and proved effective.Comparing the two newspaper,Echo and Chronicle,we prefer the former because though it charges ?500 more than the latter,the general readers are 400,000 more,most of whom are highly-educated.We are sure to get reply soon after we launch the recruitment campaign.该文观点清晰,提纲要求全部达到,通顺易懂,尽管有少量语言错误,但不影响它的清晰表达。
Sample2(2分)
Recruit Require new staff
I am sun Lee from production department.This report is provide to Human Resources department manger to explain our requirement and comment on recruitment method.Finding
In order to improve our company productivity,our department needs 10 higher skill worker.And because of last year,our department have 15 workers leave this company due to there personal reason so,now we need 35 staff.We need ten higher skill worker with high degree and others worker should be female.Recommedation We have 3 ways to recruitment.First is recruitment agency.We use this before.the expenditure is very expensive,and people that provided is not very suitable.Second is online recruitment.We never use this method before,so we can not say this is good or not.However,online recruitment,sometime the resources is unblieveable.Last one is newspaper advertisement.We used many times before,and we have two better newspaper,one is Echo,the other is Chronicle.The cost of advertisement on the newspaper is £25,00 and £2,000.Even the cost of advertisement on Echo is expensive is higher than Chronicle,the numbers sold on each day is more than Chronicle,is 600,000,the wide rage that the Echo covered is large.So,we decide use Newspaper advertisement,and name of newspaper is Echo.Thank you!
题目要求的要点基本谈及到,结构是不错的,文章中也使用了表示承接关系的连接词,但是不断的重复和过多的语言错误让读者难以理解文章。
从这两篇中级文章,我们可以看出,尽管第二篇结构似乎更清晰,但语言上的错误仍然让考官难以容忍。
从上面的官方例文我们可以看出,1、BEC写作考试对商务知识考得不是很多,大多只需涉及基本的一些观念就行了;2、提纲所示必须以明确方式体现在文章中;3、语言的基本功底很重要,越是高级考试,越难以容忍简单的基础性语言错误;4、每种文体的结构是有限制的,一定得按照相应的商务文章的结构去谋篇布局,也就是,“八股文”的形式是不应该有大的改变的。
综上所述,BEC写作的考点很明确:规定的商务英语文章的格式,中心+1、2、3的表述方式是清晰表达的必然要求(中心即提纲要求,1、2、3是指表达逻辑关系的连接词),无错的英文表达是合格和优秀的基础。

Nowadays , there are more and more misunderstanding between parents and
children which is so-called generation gap.It is estimated that(75 percentages of parents often complain their children's unreasonable behavior while children
usually think their parents too old fashioned).Why have there been so much misunderstanding between parents and children?
Maybe the reasons can be listed as follows.The first one is that(the two generations,having grown up at different times, have different likes and dislikes ,thus the disagreement often rises between them).Besides(due to having little in common to
talk about , they are not willing to sit face to face).The third reason is(with the
pace of modern life becoming faster and faster , both of them are so busy with their work or study that they don't spare enough time to exchange ideas).To sum
up ,the main cause of XX is due to(lake of communication and understanding each other).It is high time that something were done upon it.For one thing(children should respect their parents).On the other hand ,(parents also should show solicitue for
their children).All these measures will certainly bridge the generation gap.(I)说明原因型 模块(2)In recent years , xx has caused a heated debate on(1).The factors for(2).First of all ,(3).Then , there comes a case that(4).Moreover ,(5).Especiallywhen(6).Indeed, these unique points can be collected theo remindpeople that(7).In this way ,we should behave just like(8).The impact of Television

The importance of self-confidence
Currently, self-confidence has been the order of the day.This does demonstrate the theory---nothing is more valuablethan self-confidence.It is clear that(self-confidence means trust in one's abilities).If you(are full of self-confidence ,it will bring your creative power
to play , arouse your enthusiasm for work, and help you overcome
difficulties), as a result , your dreams willcome true.On the contrary,if you(have no confidence in yourself, there is little possibility that
you would ever achieve anything).Failure will be following with you。
It turns out that all your plan falls through.No one can deny another fact that(self-confidence gives you light
when you are in dark and encouragement when you are dismayed).You donn't have to look very far to find out the truth , in respect
that we all know(the secret of MMe.Curie lies in preserverence and
self-confidence, the latter in particular).It will exert a profound
influence upon(the achievement of one's ambitions).With reference to my standpoint ,I think(he that can have
self-confidence can have what he will).综合运用篇

Work in the Countryside With more and more university graduates in our society, how to find a good job has increasingly become a common concern of the public.It is reported that many university graduates would like to work in the countryside.There are a number of reasons for this phenomenon.To start with, it is a fact that with more and more university students graduating each year, the job market competition becomes more and more fierce, and many graduates cannot find jobs in the cities.Secondly, most villages that are trying to employ university graduates have developed well.It makes mot much difference whether to work in the countryside or in the city.Last but not least, some university graduates who come from the
countryside are eager to go back home to contribute to the construction of their hometown.Based on the above reasons, I think university graduates should go to work where they are needed most and where they can make full use of their talents.Working in the countryside can be truly an advisable(明智的)choice.(170 words)Misleading News(negative)
