大学英语四级写作技巧简介2009-11-14 18:55大学英语四级写作技巧简介
大学英语四级写作技巧简介——文章结构(2007-05-31 22:34:41)分类:英语学习
英文写作一直是学生们的弱项,四级考试将近,大家都很担心写作问题,在此我先简单介绍一下文章的结构问题,以后再谈其他方面。
四级写作一般以三段式展开,题目要求中通常包含三个要点,每个要点为一段(记住,一定要分段),第一段提出问题,第二段分析问题,第三段解决问题。
以历年的真题为例,2006年12月的题目为Spring Festival Gala on CCTV,要求:1。许多人喜欢看春节晚会;2。但有些人提出取消春节晚会;3。我的看法。“喜欢看春节晚会”是正常现象,应该作为问题的开端进行简短介绍,“有些人提出取消春节晚会”才是重点,必须给出相应的篇幅做详细阐述。最后表明我的观点,其实就是问作者的态度及解决这个矛盾的方法。又如2006年6月的题目:An Announcement for a Voluntary Program, 要求:1。校学生会组织一次暑假志愿活动现招募志愿者;2。本次志愿活动的目的、内容及安排;3。报名条件和联系方式。这仍是三段式的结构,第一段提出问题——告之大家会举办一次暑假志愿活动,第二段描述问题——介绍志愿活动的相关信息,第三段解决问题——怎样加入志愿活动(报名信息)。往年还考过写简历,写演讲稿,论述社会现象等题目,总是跳不出三段式,因此学生们必须掌握如何写三段式作文。
总的来说有三点要注意:1。开篇就得点题。文章字数有限,必须采取开门见山的方法,但开篇点题并不是说第一段第一句话就得提出问题,在这之前可以有所修饰,有导入的成分,但不要太长,一般第三句就得清楚、突出地把问题点出来。2。中间段阐述必须清楚。中间段是全文的核心部分,要做到阐述清楚,论证充分,要有一致性、连贯性和条理性。一般由主题句和扩展句组成,主题句是观点的高度浓缩,应该言简意赅;扩展句是对主题句的详细阐述,应该做到理由充分,内容一致。3。结尾段进行总结,并提出解决问题的方法。最后的总结在观点上可以重申但不可以重复,另外结尾一定要有所升华,不能仍停留在对问题的描述上,既然存在问题,就必须想办法解决。
至于如何开端、如何论述、如何结尾的问题,大家敬请期待下一回吧!当然我不会让大家久等的:)
写作能力无法一口气提高,大家必须在平时勤修苦练。
大学英语四级写作——突出主题(2007-06-01 15:57:26)分类:英语学习
Well begun is a half done,如何开头是值得注意的问题,它能确定你的文章给人留下的first impression。中国人喜欢先讲道理最后给出结论,而西方人习惯先下定义,再慢慢解释。按照西方人的思维方式,我们在写文章开头的时候就得突出主题,不拐弯抹角。常见的开头的写作方法大致有下面几种:
1。引述名言谚语
eg: “You have to believe in yourself.That's the secret of success.” Charles Chaplin ever said.In my opinion, self-confidence is the first element on the way to your goal.As the old saying goes:“Knowledge is power.” The main way for us students to gain knowledge is from the books.So some students argue that we should read extensively...It is well known to us all that “...”
2.对比,比较
eg: Some people say..., while others claim that...Some people believe..., but others argue that...Old people often feel that..., but for the young, it is....3.提出一个问题
eg: What constitutes enough information for the decision-maker? It's impossible to put a number
on it, but...Should the Spring Festival Gala be cancelled ? Different people have different answers.Misunderstanding is inevitable in communications.If such misfortuns occurs, what is your
response? Here are some tips for you to treat it in a proper way.4。数据引证(一般用在看图作文中)
eg: As we can see in the charts(柱状图,圆形百分比图),the number of Chinese people who go
abroad has increased greatly between 1992 and 2002.As is clearly shown in the charts, there is an increasing number of people who own a car
during the recent three years.The figures in this graph(曲线图)show us that...According to the graph, we can find that...It can be seen from the table(图表,表格)that...5.陈述现状
eg: With the rapid development of..., the interview is becoming more and more important in
job-hunting.Because of the development of..., great changes have occured in the educational system of
China.Nowadays mobilphone is very popular with college students.(很受学生欢迎)
In recent years cheating in CET4 still prevails among the college students.(近几年里四级
考试舞弊现象在大学生中仍然很普遍。)
It is well-accepted that nowadays dishonesty is a common phenomenon in society.(人们都意
识到现今社会中普遍存在不诚实的现象)
There is a heated debate over private car.Nowadays private car aroused a lot of controversy.偏离主题是写作中的大忌讳,它意味着考生做了30分钟的白工。为了避免这个问题我们一
定要仔细省题,弄清楚考题要求是写议论文、说明文还是记叙文,然后确定文章主题和大致
思路。
大学英语四级写作——主题句和扩展句(2007-06-05 10:09:26)分类:英语学习
在明确了题目要求、确定立意后,应该根据题意构思出文章的框架结构。其中写好主题
句是最关键的步骤。
论述的段落包含多个主题句。主题句(topic sentence)反映段落的中心思想,体现文章的整体结构,让读者对作者的思路一目了然。要写好主题句必须注意以下几个方面:
1。主题句必须是个完整的句子,与文章主旨密切相关。
2。主题句一般是general sentence,内容明确、具体。
3。主题句内涵要广,便于展开细节论述。
比如,写一篇论述计算器的文章,主题思想是反映计算器能帮助人们快速解决算术问题,但过分依赖计算器会对人脑有不良影响。那么主题句应该要紧扣计算器的使用利弊这个方
面,eg: Calculators can obveousely benefit us.However, overusing calculators will also do some harm to us.如果句子不够具体明确,段落的主题便模糊不清,在进一步阐述时会失去方向感。如:
To improve English proficiency, one needs to acquire some skills.这句话中的some skills太泛,读者弄不清到底是哪方面的技能技巧。改成:To improve reading ability, one needs to acquire
some reading skills.这样含义清楚,范围明确,便于细节描述。
而如果句子涉及的面太窄,不够general,没有进一步讨论的余地,这样的句子就不适
合作主题句。如:Today more and more women are going out to work.这句话含义非常清楚,没有进行详细阐述的必要,所以它本身只能是细节句,用来解释主题句。
主题句确定后,必须有足够的细节去支持主题句所提出的观点,给出充分、有力的论证。
这就是扩展句的任务。扩展句是段落的主干部分,是对主题句的中心思想的详细解释,它的特点是:1。清晰详实;2。条理分明;3。内容一致。如:主题句为:Cellphone is one of the
most popular means of communication.那么接下来的扩展句应该要紧跟这个中心意思,有条
理地进行阐述:(扩展句1)People make use of it to make an appointment, take a message for
others,discuss a question and so on.(扩展局2)People even use it to have a meeting or give a
notice.这两句话都说明了手机的社交功能,而且以递进的顺序排列,让读者更好地理解主题
句的含义,具有说服力。
大学英语四级写作——段落的展开(2007-06-05 10:56:54)分类:英语学习
主题句与扩展句构成段落,那么文章段落有什么样的特点呢?
1。段落一致性。
在一个段落就只有一个主题句,就是说一个段落就只能有一个中心思想,一个核心,段落中所有其他句子都要围绕这个中心展开或铺述,一切与主题句没有直接关系的句子都要
舍弃掉。如:However, fake commodities are extremely harmful to consumers as well as to the
whole society.First of all, fake commodities may cause losses to consumers.Meanwhile, fake
commodities may harm people's health, sometimes even lives.And in the 1998 fatal alcohol
poisoning case in Shanxi Province, for example, a peasant produced “alcohol”, dreaming of
becoming rich overnight;which, with 27 people killed and about 700 poisoned, caused great
sufferings to the victims and shoked the whole country as well.Therefore, it is really high time we
took action to crack down on the production and sale of fake commodities.第一句显然是主题
句,其后作者用了三个扩展句进行说明,每句话都与主题句密切相关,最后的结尾句对整段
论述做了升华。所以这一段落是符合一致性原则的。
2。段落连贯性
一个好段落在具体语言上和内容上要有连贯性,段落中的句子要符合一定的条理和逻辑
顺序,句与句之间衔接要紧密,过度要自然、流畅,这样才能反映出一个清晰的思路。如:
It is known to us all that modern transportation plays an important role in our life.In the past
people used to suffer a great deal if they had to make a long journey or convey some heavy goods,the fact is that the transport means at that time was simple and rare.Today, various vehicles, ships
and airplanes have enabled us to go wherever we like to.Not only does modern transportation
bring people much convenience, but is also frees people from the hard work of conveyance.What
is more important is that modern transportaion has saved much of our time so that we can do more
work and learn more knowledge.第一句话点明主题,然后通过古今对比展开论述,按时间顺
序排列,条理清楚,语句连贯自然。
按逻辑顺序安排细节是使段落连贯的方法之一,常用的顺序有四种:时间顺序、空间顺
序、演绎法和归纳法。演绎法是先通过主题句给出一般的总体的观点,然后给出扩展句摆具
体的事实,体现了一般到具体的顺序;归纳法是先给具体事实和细节,再概括总结出其中道
理、规律,体现了具体到一般的顺序。
使段落连贯的方法之二是使用适当的连接手段,一般是指关联词的使用。这个问题我下
次再详许述。
大学英语四级写作——段落的连贯性(2007-06-07 15:43:06)分类:英语学习
在确定好一条条的扩展句后,怎样把这些句子流畅而连贯地组合在一起呢?这便是关联
词发挥作用的时候了。在英语中,句与句之间、段与段之间一般都有连词或关联词连接,通
过这些词读者能够很清楚地明白文章前后的逻辑联系。适当使用关联词是四级写作必备的技
能,大家应该要引起特别重视。常用的关联词分为四类:
1。列举类
列举法常用在议论文中,当作者提出一个论点后,可通过列举出一系列事实对其进行说
明或论证。列举类关联词有:
first(ly), second(ly),...finally;for one thing, for another;on the one hand, on the other hand;
moreover;furthermore;what's more;in addition;besides;first of all;in the first place, in the
second place;(at)last;then;next;the last but not the least
2。举例类
举例法是用事例或数据对中心观点进行说明论证的方法,举例类关联词有:
for example;for instance;such as;like;take...for example;a case in point;namely;in other
words;that is;especially;in particular
3。比较和对比
比较是把两种或两种以上的事物进行比较,以辨别出它们的相似之处;对比是将这些事
物进行对照,辨别其差异而指出各自的特征和本质。这类关联词有:
but;however;yet;otherwise;while;in contrast;by contrast;on the contrary;similarly;
likewise;like;conversely;rather than;instead;on the other hand;equally;nevertheless;
nonetheless;unlike;still;in the same way;compared with...4.因果类
as a result;since;because(of);thanks to;due to;owing to;for this reason;hence;thus;
therefore;on this/that account;on account of;consequently
5.总结类

考前10分钟可用的英语四级写作技巧
四六级考试越来越使模板无用武之地,阅卷老师在阅卷的过程中最多的是关注同学们的用词和句型的使用。
高分作文标志
1:四级120-150字;六级150-180字;
2是否长短句交叉;
3用词是否恰当,准确,形象,尽量使用能够吸引阅卷老师眼球的闪光词;4关键词是否换用,切勿老用重复词;
下面给出写好一篇作文的注意事项:
1.适当用被动代替主动,这样能更客观的反映事实, 句子开头不要总是用we / I(比如写结尾时不用 we should pay attention to而用Attention should be paid to.)举个经典结尾2004年六月六级作文的最后一段:It is ,therefore, high time that some applicable approaches were implemented by the service industry like that.Thus,its competitive edge will be sharpened effectively.2.善于使用插入语,比如说把副词、连接词等,作插入语放在中间,一般放在主语、动词或者助动词后,两边分别加上逗号。
如however / therefore /for example/I believe 做插入语放在中间,一般放在动词,助动词后,两边分别加上逗号。
比如说: Other individuals, however, take the attitude that „
3.一定要学会换词,换形象,具体的代替太宽泛的。(考试中一般不要出现good, bad , many, thing, think, people, opinion 等等)比如上面例子中,applicable代替proper, approaches代替ways, implement代替 carry out, sharpen one’’s competitive edge代替 enhance one’’s competitiveness(提高某物竞争力)
