第一篇:2012考研英语高分作文宝典
小作文复习指导
考研英语小作文考察的多是辞职信、感谢信、道歉信等20多种类型的应用文文体,着重考察考生的逻辑思维能力和语言应用能力。万学海文提示2012年的广大考生小作文具有如下特点:重格式,不轻内容;轻思想,重交际;字数少,易得分;重套路,难发挥。2012年的考生应着重依照这四个特点来进行复习。
背格式:
小作文重格式的特点要求考生们在格式上不能犯错,必须注意熟悉一些应用文的格式和英文中应用文的表达习惯。万学海文提示考生:格式无误是小作文得高分的第一步。
举2011年小作文题目为例:
Write a letter to a friend of yours to
1)recommend one of your favorite movies and
2)give reasons for your recommendation.You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET2.Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter.Use “Li Ming” instead.Do not write the address.(10points)
参考范文:(万学海文:《2012考研英语历年真题权威解析》)
Dear Tom,I am writing, without hesitation, to share one of my favorite movies, Forest Gump, with you, which is not only conducive to your study, but also beneficial to your life.For one thing, the beautiful language in this original English movie may contribute to your study of English in listening, speaking, reading and writing.For another thing, the profound cultural elements implicit in the scene will equip you with foreign cultural background and, above all, enrich your daily life.Would you like to see this movie after my recommendation? Remember to tell me your opinion about the movie.I am looking forward to your early reply.Yours, Li Ming
一、称呼格式 1.用于对陌生的组织或团体负责人的称谓:Dear Madam or Dear Sir
2.用于对认识但是关系很正式的个人、组织或团体负责人的称谓:Dear Ms....or Dear Mr....3.用于对关系亲密的人的称谓:Dear Tom/Lucy(or any other name)
二、正文格式
缩进式: 段落之间无空行,每段开头空四个字母。
三、落款格式
Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter.Use“...”instead.落款时可以使用下列万能格式:
Yours, Li Ming
背范文:
背诵是考生积极备战、快速提高写作成绩的一条捷径。考生应严格按照真题的要求独立写作,对比真题解析中的范文,发掘范文中的亮点和得分点,找出自己文章中格式、语法和逻辑上的错误。背诵一些历年真题解析中的优秀范文和优秀的小作文写作模板来提高小作文得分。
技巧锦囊:掌握固定格式,准确用词,注意不同类型的要点。
布局:
小作文的布局上一般可以分为三段展开。第一段:开门见山,直接点明主题。第二段:摆出内容,陈述原因,罗列建议。第三段:回应首段,再次感谢,期待回复。
语言:
用词准确:用词准确是最基础的要求之一。
语法正确:语法错误是考试的失分点所在,在小作文的写作中应尽量少用缩略语和口语。
句型多变:例如既有并列句,也有复合句,还有从句。
小作文的考查要求中会体现出文章的背景场合和写作目的,考生应针对不同情境选择不同表达。不同的应用文有不同的用语,万学海文英语辅导老师们建议2012年的考生对某些应用文的格式和习惯用语加以熟悉和背诵,以便运用自如。
注意: 虽说小作文的字数不多,但考生们最好还是不要忙于动笔,仔细审题后,先理清思路,认真列个提纲再下笔。写作时,万学海文英语考研辅导专家们建议2012年的考生们应注意下几个方面的问题:第一,交代清楚目的;第二,注意关联词或衔接词的运用,以便阅卷老师明了篇章结构;第三,有必要时对个人观点进行适当阐述;第四,用简短的语句代替冗长的语句,行文切忌复杂。最后,完成作文以后,应该检查、修改,以免需要表达清楚的细节和要点被遗漏。
2012年考研英语图画作文备考建议
一、图画作文概括
图画作文不仅需要考生描述图画中所给出的基本信息,更要求考生对图画进行更深层次的理解,即要求考生能够读出图画中所隐含的深层含义,即寓意。即文章所给出的主题是什么?这需要我们认真研读图画给我们提供的信息。
首先,我们来看看这几年考研图画作文考查的主题:
年份 主题 捕鱼 爱心是一美国女孩
温室的花朵
终点也是
父母赡养
偶像
自信
取长
网络
文化
“旅2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
崇拜 的重补短,的远
与近
火锅 程”之
余 盏灯 与中国文化
起点 问题 要性 合作
互助
从以上表格的我们可以看出,考研英语图画作文所考到的主旨一般跟当今世界上热门的话题有联系,比如:赡养老人,环境保护等。因此,万学海文英语考研辅导专家建议2012年的考生在复习的时候,也可以多阅读英文文章或报刊书籍,积累素材,这样可以使自己对话题更熟悉,做到有话可说。
二、图画作文备考建议
1、审题。
审题很重要,包括题目中的direction部分,比如作文类型,写作篇幅结构,篇幅长短等;审图画,在这方面,考生要仔细审查图画,认真揣摩,从而更加准确把握图画所传递的信息;提示语,一般的图画作文都附有提示语,提示语有两个作用:限定和启发,考生应该注意,利用这些信息,这些信息在很大程度上影响到审题主旨的确立,有些考生由于没有看到或忽视了图画下面给出的提示语而对作文要深挖的主旨不能很好地理解,比如2010年的图画作文:文化火锅(附加信息:文化“火锅”,既美味又营养),它的寓意是:文化揭示出文章的话题,火锅在这里是喻体,它的显著特点是可以将多种材料混合,糅合,比喻多种文化的交融,美味是指各种各样的文化丰富了人们的精神生活,营养指的是文化交融能给人类带来很多好处。而当年由于很多考生在审题上忽视了附加信息而失去了好多的分数,比如,把文化放在火锅里乱七八糟地煮,说明文化遭受污染,说明人们不重视文化,呼吁文化保护,文化全球化的利弊分析等。以上所列举出的对作文主旨的分析都是断章取义,凭空臆造,想当然。所以万学海文建议2012年的考生在写这类作文的时候,一定不要忘记要好好瞅瞅图画下面的附加信息,有时字体很小,我们更需要留心。
词汇。
词汇是英语的基础,是备考各类型题目的基础,写作也不例外,如果词汇不够丰富,不会灵活运用,特别是在考研英语写作中,如果不掌握一些增分的亮点词汇,是写不出一篇优美的200个单词左右的图画作文的。所以万学海文提醒2012年的考生在平时备考的时候,一定要积累相关的词汇,以便在考场上得心应手。
3,内容的完整性。
文章的组织是否连贯,词的衔接是否到位等。因此,在此提醒考生应该熟记一些表示衔接的词或短语,兹列举一些如下:
转折关系:but, however, yet, on the contrary, contrary to, in contrast to, whereas, rather than, instead of, conversely
让步关系:although, even, despite, nevertheless, as, still, much as, anyhow, in any case, whatever
总分关系:for example(分), such as(分), including(分), in sum(总), in general(总), on the whole(总)
因果关系:because, due to, in that, owing to, since, now that, lead to, contribute to, result in, in view of, so, hence, therefore, consequently
递进关系:still, indeed, furthermore, besides, in addition, what is more
条件关系:if, in the event of, so long as, unless, only if ,in case, provided that,并列关系:and, as well as, likewise, not...only...but also...时间关系:when, while, as, after, before, since, until, as soon as, once, simultaneously, at the same time, whenever
目的关系:so that, in order that, lest, for fear that,经典句型:this is an interesting and thought—provoking picture.As is depicted(conveyed, illustrated)in the picture, we can deduce that„
The meaning conveyed by the picture is clear but profound The two pictures reveal a not uncommon social phenomenon that„
考生在备考图画作文的时候,万学海文考研辅导老师温馨小提示:一定要认真审题,揣摩作者的意图,以便在文章主旨的理解和结构的搭建上做到心中有数,考生还要特别注意图画下面附加信息的作用,它的作用千万不能小觑,除此外,相关词汇的积累,衔接词、短语的积累也是十分重要的。
2012考研英语大作文写作模式指导
考研作文分为Part A、Part B两部分,也就是我们通常所说的大作文、小作文,考生在短期内通过努力可以快速提高。一般以漫画为主是大作文的考试风格,题材多选择议论文。一般漫画都直观、简单,考生的写作重点着重于下:
一、描写漫画:50个单词左右。该部分写作要求语言简练、无语病。
二、110-150个单词左右,按照题目要求的步骤分段写作,题目可能是要求考生解释图片隐含的深意表明立场并举例(如2007年),也有可能是反省图片反映现象产生的后果并表述自己观点(2006年),等。我们选取万学海文《2012考研英语历年真题权威解析(2002-2011)》中的部分优秀例句为考生复习大作文进行参考。
大作文的构造一般包括开头段、扩展段(可以有多个)和结尾段。开头段和结尾段通常短于扩展段。

历年的考研作文都是与当下结合非常紧密的题材,考生也都会按照相应的方法进行复习。那么,作为考研英语的最后一道题目,大作文也有自己的命题规律。万学海文英语考研辅导专家们根据多年的辅导经验总结出了以下五大规律,以供2012年的考研同学们进行参考。
1.关注热点。
2006年关注偶像崇拜现象,2009年关注网络问题,2011年的考察环保问题,都是大众或者是青年人关注的热点。在年底时可以从网络上搜集到本年份大事记,从而有侧重的准备相关词汇和句型。万学海文提醒2012年的考生注意:出题者为避免作文题目被猜中,往往可能会将热点延迟进行命题。所以考生在准备大作文的时候可以参考本年和前一年所发生的大事进行预测。
2.与大学英语四、六级考试有关联。
2008年6月的CET6作文题目:《电子书是否可以替代传统书籍?》,2009年考研英语作文的题目是《网络的近与远》;2009年12月的CET6作文关注“参加各种艺术培训班”,2009年6月的CET4作文围绕着“博物馆”,2010年考研英语大作文题目是《文化火锅》,可见,考研大作文题目偶尔与四级考试的作文题目相关,常常与六级考试的作文题目相关,近期CET考试的作文题目为考生们提供了练笔、积累素材的好资源。
3.考题倾向于大型宏观话题。
2001年爱心,2003年成长,2005年家庭,2010年文化,2011年环保。试卷中给出的图片、图表只是表达局部或单个情况,入口小,话题大,命题从来不在细枝末节具体环节、或个别事件上做文章。社会积极面是命题主旨的趋向,考生需要以成熟主流的心态来思考问题的积极解决方案、在图画寓意中发现哲理。
4.避开政治和敏感话题
为避免过多的争议,政治话题因其观点难以达成普遍共识,是非曲直难以一时断定,不适合成为考题。敏感性话题同样也不适合成为考研英语的作文题目。
5.命题中的“和谐社会”倾向
围绕主流思想和时代背景,考研作文命题团队已经逐渐形成了以“和谐社会”为核心的命题思路和模式。可以用和谐的三个不同层次对“和谐社会”倾向下的作文话题进行划分:和谐发展之——个体,和谐发展之——个人、他人与社会,和谐发展之——人与自然。密切关注此类话题,掌握与“和谐”相关语词备考,是考生备考的当务之急。
强化阶段英语二图表作文复习建议
图表类作文是考研英语二中一个重要的写作模式之一,万学海文英语考研辅导专家们建议2012年考研的同学们在开始动笔之前,应该对图表所提供的信息要有所了解。对于此类题目,前期的工作有:
(一)审清题目
1.分析题目包含的内容和信息(写作提示、主题句、图表、字数要求等);
2.判断命题者的意图;
3.把握题目的中心思想;
(二)构思选材
构思是行文的基础。构思时要充分发挥想象力,但是要围绕文章的主题思想和具体要求,对文章进行整体布局,确保文章逻辑思路清晰,切题达意,首尾连贯,结构合理。
万学海文英语考研辅导专家们在此,主要为广大的2012年的考生们介绍一下图表作文的类型以及描图的几种表达方式和常用的描图句型。

写作复习方法
在2012年考研复习的强化阶段,写作复习主要是通过背诵一些优秀文章,培养语感,拓展思维,体会词句的用法。另外,万学海文英语考研辅导老师们在此建议广大的2012年的考生们还应该加强自己的广泛阅读,可以通过分析阅读文章的结构,学习英语的写作思路,同时,提高阅读时理解信息的能力。
下面,万学海文英语考研辅导老师在此为2012年的考生们提供以下四种英语强化阶段的写作复习方法,希望同学们参考学习。
一、背诵
首先是:背诵。即背诵《英语背诵文选》中的文章进行句型式、段落式、篇章式。对于基础较差的同学来说,主要背诵应用文的格式、议论文中经常用到的句式和单词。例如:小作文经常多数考察的是信件的写作。那么,推荐信、求职信、建议信、邀请信以及私人信件格式有什么区别呢,称呼变化有什么规律。这需要考生们在基础阶段就记忆。而大作文方面,万学海文建议2012年的考生们也可以背诵一些常用句型和词汇。例如:图画作文经常会要求你描述一现象,然后给出自己的观点。那么你的写作过程中就不可避免要用到表达观点的句型。如果不注意积累,很容易全篇都用”Ithink”来表达观点,那么就一定会让阅卷者大跌眼镜。基础较好的同学,可以背诵一些篇章和段落。
二、泛读和朗读
其次是:泛读和朗读。基础阶段的作文复习,还有很重要的一个方面,那就是广泛进行阅读,最好能够经常进行朗读。因为,广泛阅读过程中可以积累素材和观点。“巧妇难做无米之炊”。即使会再多的句型和写作手法,而很少有关于社会现实和评论的观点和素材的积累,那么很难很好的进行例证和论证,让文章看起来很空洞,言之无物。另外,大家看英语的学习方法,一定见到过“语感”的说法。事实上,语言这个东西,语感真的很重要,尤其是对于输出过程尤其重要。而语感却并非是一朝一夕能够建立起来的。因此,万学海文英语辅导老师提醒同学们一定要非常重视前期阶段的积累。
三、题型间关系
再次是:学会思考写作和翻译、以及阅读等其他类型的关系。虽然重点有所不同,但各种题型并非孤立的。学员在基础阶段明确这个态度,学员的阅读与写作能力是其英语学习的输入与输出能力的表现。宏观上讲,通过阅读英文文章,学习英语行文习惯与逻辑思路,从而促进写作时思路的形成;微观上讲,阅读文章中的词汇,句型都可以成为学习内容,从而提高写作的遣词造句水平。这符合学生循序渐进的学习规律,并且学员能够体会到实质性的学习效果。
四、写作练习 最后,要进行一些句子的写作练习。句子是一篇文章的基本构成单位。如何提高句子的写作能力?最直接得手段就是了解英语主要句型,学会运用基本句型以及扩句和嵌套等手法的运用。总之,写作复习在基础阶段仍然属于打基础阶段,先具备充实的写作素材,再试着将头脑中积累的素材和观点表达出来。这样就为以后系统的进行作文训练和谋篇布局打下良好的基础。
希望以上的四点方法能够给2012年考研的同学们在强化阶段的英语复习提供足够的指导,祝大家考研复习顺利!
第二篇:2015年考研英语小作文高分宝典
资料来源:中国教育在线 http://www.xiexiebang.com/
小作文即应用文写作,是2005年大纲修订之后出现的新题型,主要考察考生在特定日常情境下英语语言的实际运用能力。与大作文相比,小作文的写作相对比较简单,但是要在十五分钟内完成一篇百词左右的精彩短文,也是需要考生在平日的备考下一番功夫的。下面考生随都教授一起来学习。
恰当地根据给定情境迅速成文、具备一定语言能力。因此在平时的备考中,考生一定要全面了解和掌握各种常见应用文体如私人和公务信函、备忘录、摘要、报告等,信函一般包括投诉信、道歉信、邀请信、感谢信、求职信、推荐信、建议信等,各类文体的写作格式、方法和特点需要分类记忆,尤其是各类问题的常用句型和基本结构一定要烂熟于心。
鉴于考试的要求和实际情况,文章的长度以及文体应用的广泛程度,都教授认为应用文写作主要分为两大类,信函类应用文写作以及告示类应用文写作,纵观历年考研真题不难得出,由于信函类应用文种类多、应用广泛,因此出题较多。告示类应用文虽然协发布通,但总体格式与要求一致,考生在备考时也不能掉以轻心。在写作过程中,由于信函类、告示类应用文写作在日常生活中较为常见,因此考生要学会实际应用,丰富语料。
此外,应用文的用途决定了其语言的简明性,在写作过程中无需太过华丽的辞藻,只要能开门见山、表意清楚、思路清晰、符合题意即可,在公文信函中要注意语言的正式性,细节处的标点、数字、日期、落款也要注意使用的正确性。
下面我们重点来看一下信函类的应用文写作:
信函是交涉事物、增进了解、交流思想、联络感情的重要工具。就文体基本划分为正式和非正式文体,就种类可划分为私人、公务、社交、商务信件,在考研英语中,我们多以用途来划分和备考,即求职信、咨询信、感谢信、投诉信、建议信、邀请信等。我们以投诉信和感谢信为例,探讨写作方法。
1.投诉信
所谓投诉信是指针对某件不愉快的事情向责任人提出的投诉信件,信中多寻求解决方法,写作要求一般为:
(1)首段开门见山指明所投诉的具体事件。
(2)将问题清晰、简洁、公正地描述出来,指出事件带来的诸多不便。
(3)感谢对方倾听投诉,同时清楚地表达你所想到的解决方法,期待对方尽早回复和解决问题。
2.感谢信
资料来源:中国教育在线 http://www.xiexiebang.com/ 资料来源:中国教育在线 http://www.xiexiebang.com/
所谓感谢信是指因为某事件向收信人表明感激之意,写作要求一般为:
(1)首先表明写作意图,开门见山表达谢意。
(2)说明因何事向对方表示感谢,注意感情真挚。
(3)感谢信一般为非官方,若为官方感谢信注意语言的严肃性。
(4)结尾再次表达真挚感激之情。
通过今天都教授的讲解,各位考生对小作文题型的认识更深了一步。在接下来只有两个月的紧张备考里,考生们一定要卯足劲儿坚持下去,成败在此一举。预祝各位考生都能取得自己满意的成绩!

第三篇:考研英语作文高分必备
考研英语作文高分必备
1. 开头超强公式一:名人名言
有人问了,“我没有记住名言,怎么办?尤其是英语名言?”,很好办:编!
原理:我们看到的东西很多都是创造出来的,包括我们欣赏的文章也是,所以尽管编,但是一定要听起来很有道理呦!而且没准将来我们就是名人呢!对吧?
经典句型:
A proberb says, “ You are only young once.”(适用于已记住的名言)
It goes without saying that we cannot be young forever.(适用于自编名言)
更多经典句型:
As everyone knows, No one can deny that„ 2. 开头超强公式二:数字统计
原理:要想更有说服力,就应该用实际的数字来说明。
原则上在议论文当中十不应该出现虚假数字的,可是在考试的时候哪管那三七二十一,但编无妨,只要我有东西写就万事大吉了。所以不妨试用下面的句型:
According to a recent survey, about 78.9% of the college students wanted to further their study after their graduation.看起来这个数字文邹邹的,其实都是编造出来的,下面随便几个题目我们都可以这样编造:
Honesty:根据最近的一项统计调查显示,大学生向老师请假的理由当中78%都是假的。
Travel by Bike:根据最近的一项统计调查显示,85%的人在近距离旅行的时候首选的交通工具是自行车。
Youth:根据最近的一项统计调查显示,在某个大学,学生的课余时间的70%都是在休闲娱乐。
Five-day Work Week Better than Six-day Work?:根据最近的一项统计调查显示,98%的人同意每周五天工作日。
更多句型:
A recent statistics shows that „ 结尾超强公式
1. 结尾超强公式一:如此结论
说完了,毕竟要归纳一番,相信各位都有这样的经历,领导长篇大论,到最后终于冒出个“总而言之”之类的话,我们马上停止开小差,等待领导说结束语。也就是说,开头很好,也必然要有一个精彩的结尾,让读者眼前一亮,这样,你就可以拿高分了!比如下面的例子:
Obviously(此为过渡短语), we can draw the conclusion that good manners arise from politeness and respect for others.如果读者很难“显而见之”,但说无妨,就当读者的眼光太浅罢了!
更多过渡短语:
to sum up, in conclusion, in brief, on account of this, thus
更多句型:
Thus, it can be concluded that„, Therefore, we can find that„ 2. 结尾超强公式二:如此建议
如果说“如此结论”是结尾最没用的废话,那么“如此建议”应该是最有价值的废话了,因为这里虽然也是废话,但是却用了一个很经典的虚拟语气的句型。拽!
Obviously, it is high time that we took some measures to solve the problem.这里的虚拟语气用得很经典,因为考官本来经常考这个句型,而如果我们自己写出来,你说考官会怎么想呢?
更多句型:
Accordingly, I recoMMend that some measures be taken.Consequently, to solve the problem, some measures should be taken.写作的“七项基本原则”
一、长短句原则
工作还得一张一驰呢,老让读者读长句,累死人!写一个短小精辟的句子,相反,却可以起到画龙点睛的作用。而且如果我们把短句放在段首或者段末,也可以揭示主题:
As a creature, I eat;as a man, I read.Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.如此可见,长短句结合,抑扬顿挫,岂不爽哉?牢记!
强烈建议:在文章第一段(开头)用一长一短,且先长后短;在文章主体部分,要先用一个短句解释主要意思,然后在阐述几个要点的时候采用先短后长的句群形式,定会让主体部分妙笔生辉!文章结尾一般用一长一短就可以了。
二、主题句原则
国有其君,家有其主,文章也要有其主。否则会给人造成“群龙无首”之感!相信各位读过一些破烂文学,故意把主体隐藏在文章之内,结果造成我们稀里糊涂!不知所云!所以奉劝各位一定要写一个主题句,放在文章的开头(保险型)或者结尾,让读者一目了然,必会平安无事!
特别提示:隐藏主体句可是要冒险的!
To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主题句).Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.三、一二三原则
领导讲话总是第一部分、第一点、第二点、第三点、第二部分、第一点„ 如此罗嗦。可毕竟还是条理清楚。考官们看文章也必然要通过这些关键性的“标签”来判定你的文章是否结构清楚,条理自然。破解方法很简单,只要把下面任何一组的词汇加入到你的几个要点前就清楚了。
1)first, second, third, last(不推荐,原因:俗)
2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推荐,原因:俗)
3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推荐,原因:俗)
4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推荐,原因:俗)
5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(强烈推荐)
6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(强烈推荐)
7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(强烈推荐)
8)most important of all, moreover, finally
9)on the one hand, on the other hand(适用于两点的情况)
10)for one thing, for another thing(适用于两点的情况)
建议:不仅仅在写作中注意,平时说话的时候也应该条理清楚!
四、短语优先原则
写作时,尤其是在考试时,如果使用短语,有两个好处:其
一、用短语会使文章增加亮点,如果老师们看到你的文章太简单,看不到一个自己不认识的短语,必然会看你低一等。相反,如果发现亮点—精彩的短语,那么你的文章定会得高分了。其
二、关键时刻思维短路,只有凑字数,怎么办?用短语是一个办法!比如:
I cannot bear it.可以用短语表达:I cannot put up with it.I want it.可以用短语表达:I am looking forward to it.这样字数明显增加,表达也更准确。
五、多实少虚原则
原因很简单,写文章还是应该写一些实际的东西,不要空话连篇。这就要求一定要多用实词,少用虚词。我这里所说的虚词就是指那些比较大的词。比如我们说一个很好的时候,不应该之说nice这样空洞的词,应该使用一些诸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital 之类的形象词。再比如:
走出房间,general的词是:walk out of the room
但是小偷走出房间应该说:slip out of the room
小姐走出房间应该说:sail out of the room
小孩走出房间应该说:dance out of the room
老人走出房间应该说:stagger out of the room
所以多用实词,少用虚词,文章将会大放异彩!
六、多变句式原则
1)加法(串联)
都希望写下很长的句子,像个老外似的,可就是怕写错,怎么办,最保险的写长句的方法就是这些,可以在任何句子之间加and, 但最好是前后的句子又先后关系或者并列关系。比如说:
I enjor music and he is fond of playing guitar.如果是二者并列的,我们可以用一个超级句式:
Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm.其它的短语可以用:
besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover
2)转折(拐弯抹角)
批评某人缺点的时候,我们总习惯先拐弯抹角说说他的优点,然后转入正题,再说缺点,这种方式虽然阴险了点,可毕竟还比较容易让人接受。所以呢,我们说话的时候,只要在要点之前先来点废话,注意二者之间用个专这次就够了。
The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition.The coat was thin, but it was warm.更多的短语:
despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding
3)因果(so, so, so)
昨天在街上我看到了一个女孩,然后我主动搭讪,然后我们去咖啡厅,然后我们认识了,然后我们成为了朋友„可见,讲故事的时候我们总要追求先后顺序,先什么,后什么,所以然后这个词就变得很常见了。其实这个词表示的是先后或因果关系!
The snow began to fall, so we went home.更多短语:
then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that
4)失衡句(头重脚轻,或者头轻脚重)
有些人脑袋大,身体小,或者有些人脑袋小,身体大,虽然我们不希望长成这个样子,可如果真的是这样了,也就必然会吸引别人的注意力。文章中如果出现这样的句子,就更会让考官看到你的句子与众不同。其实就是主语从句,表语从句,宾语从句的变形。
举例:This is what I can do.Whether he can go with us or not is not sure.同样主语、宾语、表语可以改成如下的复杂成分:
When to go, Why he goes away„
5)附加(多此一举)
如果有了老婆,总会遇到这样的情况,当你再讲某个人的时候,她会插一句说,我昨天见过他;或者说,就是某某某,如果把老婆的话插入到我们的话里面,那就是定语从句和同位语从句或者是插入语。
The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine.I don’t enjoy that book you are reading.Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going.其实很简单,同位语--要解释的东西删除后不影响整个句子的构成;定语从句—借用之前的关键词并且用其重新组成一个句子插入其中,但是whom or that 关键词必须要紧跟在先行词之前。
6)排比(排山倒海句)
文学作品中最吸引人的地方莫过于此,如果非要让你的文章更加精彩的话,那么我希望你引用一个个的排比句,一个个得对偶句,一个个的不定式,一个个地词,一个个的短语,如此表达将会使文章有排山倒海之势!
Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you.Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides.We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life.(气势恢宏)
要想写出如此气势恢宏的句子非用排比不可!
七、挑战极限原则
既然是挑战极限,必然是比较难的,但是并非不可攀!
原理:在学生的文章中,很少发现诸如独立主格的句子,其实也很简单,只要花上5分钟的时间看看就可以领会,它就是分词的一种特殊形式,分词要求主语一致,而独立主格则不然。比如:
The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.如果您可一些出这样的句子,不得高分才怪!文章主体段落三大杀手锏
一、举实例
思维短路,举实例!提出一个观点,举实例!提出一个方案,举实例!而且者也是我们揭示一个观点最好的方式,任何情况下,只要我们无法继续文章,不管三七二十一,尽管举例子!
In order to attract more customers, advertisers have adopted every possible stimulative factor in making ads, such as sound, light, colours, cartoon films and human performance.For instance, to advertise a certain food, advertisers will ask an actor or actress to sit at a table and devour the seemingly delicious food while they fime him or her.更多句型:
To take „ as an example, One example is„, Another example is„, for example
二、做比较
方法:写完一个要点,比较与之相似的;又写完一个要点,再比较与之相反的;
世界上没有同样的指纹,没有相同的树叶,文章亦同,只有通过比较,你才会发现二者的相同点(through comparison)和不同点(through contrast)。下面是一些短语:
相似的比较:
in comparison, likewise, similarly, in the same manner
相反的比较:
on the other hand, conversely, whereas, while, instead, nevertheless, in contrast, on the contrary, compared with „, „
三、换言之
没话说了,可以换一句话再说,让你的文章在多一些字,或者文邹邹地说,是让读者更充分的理解你的观点。
实际就是重复重复再重复!下面的句子实际上就三个字 I love you!
I am enthusiastic about you.That is to say, I love you.I am wild about you.In other words, I have fallen in love with you.或者上面我们举过的例子:
I cannot bear it.可以用短语表达:I cannot put up with it.因此可以这样说:I cannot bear it.That is to say, I cannot put up with it or I am fed up with it.更多短语:
in more difficult language, in simpler words, put it more simply

As is vividly depicted in the picture , with a clear cracking sound , two bowls clashed into each other , in which the shinning one keeps its integrity , whereas the shabby one breaks into pieces.Just like being symbolically revealed in the set of drawing, the fact that the intact bowl, as a symbol of soly-invested companies , overwhelms the broken bowl representing the state-owned companies, with collision standing for fierce companies, profoundly indicates that it is time that our state-owned companies entailed reform especially after china’s entry into WTO when facing soly-invested companies abroad.To the popular mind , it is immediately assumed that when reform in state-owned companies is argued,it is car industry that is meant.To account for the above-mentioned phenomenon , several points should be figured out.For one thing, some of car industries once enjoyed the glorious past , They have ,however, gradually lost their market shares when soly ?invested companies were sweeping into domestic market.For another , in order to turn the corner ,the leaders of them should adopt the policy of reform such as acquisition, re-engineering and introduction of advanced technology and concepts of management.No better illustration of this idea can be thought than the example mentioned below, No 1 Motor Vehicle Plant has witnessed from predicament to rejuvenation through none other than effective steps mentioned above.Therefore ,no issue is as critical to individual and national survival and prosperity as reform in state-owned companies.Accordingly, it is vital for us to derive some positive meanings from this thought-provoking picture.It is ,hence, necessary that efforts be made to follow the spirit of reform concerning state-owned companies.On one hand, the government should make law to perfect irrational rules and regulations being visible in reform process.On the other hand, the leaders of state-owned companies should enhance the awareness of reform.Only by undergoing these steps ,can our more state-owned companies become members of Top 500 in the world, which, indeed, has gone to the heart of maintaining good momentum of national economy growth.一、要求:考生根据所给情景写出一篇约100词(标点符号不计算在内)的应用性短文,包括私人和公务信函、备忘录、摘要、报告等。考生在答题卡2上作答。满分10分。

摘要题型写作实例
① 试题题目
Directions: Study the following essay carefully and write a summary in about 80 words.We continue to share with our remotest ancestors the most tangled and evasive attitudes about death, despite the great distance we have come in understanding some of the profound aspects of biology.We have as much distaste for talking about personal death as for thinking about it;it is an indelicacy, like talking in mixed company about venereal disease or abortion in the old days.Death on a grand scale does not bother us in the same special way: we can sit around a dinner table and discuss war, involving 60 billion volatilized human deaths, as though we were talking about bad weather;we can watch abrupt bloody death every day, in color, on films and television, without blinking back a tear.It is when the numbers of dead are very small, and very close, that we begin to think in scurrying circles.At the very center of the problem is the naked cold deadness of one’s own self, the only reality in nature of which we can have absolute certainty, and it is unmentionable, unthinkable.We may be even less willing to face the issue at first hand than our predecessors because of a secret new hope that maybe it will go away.We like to think, hiding the thought, that with all the marvelous ways in which we seem now to lead nature around by the nose, perhaps we can avoid the central problem if we just become, next year, say, a bit smarter.② 原文要点:
1.continue to have the most confused ideas of death like predecessors
2.avoid talking about death
③ 参考摘要:
People dislike talking about death because they just like their predecessors still have the vaguest ideas of the issue.They talk about death only when million upon millions of people are killed in war.When they find only very few people die each time and the death rates are almost equal, they become very anxious, thinking that next time they themselves will meet their doom.Therefore, they fear very much.However, they have a hope that when they control nature, they can avoid death.(84 words)

You are a college student who applies to a university for an MA degree program of the major “Life Science”.Introduce yourself and state out the reasons.Ask them to send the necessary information concerning the course.1.审题要认真
短文的标题是对全文的高度概括。通过认真审题来确定标题的核心词或者说关键词,依此来整理思路。因此,考生看到试题后绝对不能提笔就写,而是应该认真审题,看清题目的要求和提示,充分利用题目所提供的信息、关键词所圈定的范围,在确立主题后再动笔。
如 从标题 The Misery of Shyness 中得知,考生不但要解释说明 Shyness ,更重要的是要突出由 Shyness 带来的Misery。至此,短文要重点阐述带来了什么Misery。
2.文体要统一
正式文体的文章不宜用非正式的语句。有些考生在一篇很正式的议论文中用以下的句子做结语 OK, this is what I want to say.或是That’s my opinion.Do you agree with me?等等,使文章显得不伦不类。
3.主题要突出
标题如果是 Pollution from Cars 或 Air Pollution ,以下段落的阐述显得有些赘述 1 Part of this problem is the world’s exploding population.2 A growing population undoubtedly means more factories polluting the air.3 Besides, land and water pollution has also increased.4 Pollution is, in fact, threatening our health, our happiness, and our civilization.尤其是第三句,还有点跑题。
4.文字要连贯
一篇好文章要注重连贯性。连贯性主要体现在句子与句子、段落与段落的衔接上,这种衔接要通过过渡词语来实现,以达到文章通顺,语言流畅。例如 It is clear that television news can vividly bring into us dramatic events of importance, such as wars, games and soon, but it can not cover important stories in detail they may deserve because of its time limitation.On the contrary, print news excels in its ability to devote as much space to a story as it sees fit, though it can not compete with television visually.Besides, television is essentially a passive medium.Such as, but, because of, on the contrary, though, besides 这些过渡词把句子从语义上连接起来,形成一个有机的整体,读起来犹如行云流水,自然酣畅。
5.内容要一致
要删除多余的词语,否则, 一是破坏了文章的一致性, 二是有凑字数之嫌。如 Scientists fear that nuclear energy will one day destroyus.2 They say that the explosion of a nuclear bomb can kill millions of people and cause disease and deformity in later generation.3 Because of limited energy resources, scientists are studying the possibilities of nuclear power.4 And any failure from a nuclear plant may cause enormous damage to the affected area5 What’s more, up to now people have not discovered a safe way to dispose of radioactive wastes.本段中的第三句与主题不符, 也与第二和第四句不连贯, 应删除。
6.表达方式要多样化
词、句型使用的多样化不仅给文章增加了色彩和可读性,与此同时也可反映考生的词汇量和语言掌握的程度等。为避免文章平淡、呆板, 可使用不同的句式 强调句、倒装句、否定句等等。长短句使用合理相间,用短句表达有力的结论,用长句体现严密的逻辑关系。考生在举例说明的段落中尤其要注意词语的多样性。
7.考点要覆盖全
无论是什么形式的写作都有写作内容上的要求,一般为三个方面。考生在动笔前一定要看清写作内容上的要求,以确保文章覆盖所有考点。
8.语言要流畅
评分标准已清楚地告诉考生 文章要语言流畅、字句通顺、表达准确, 这是得高分的基础。
Last year the public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of animal care bills and furniture.1 It is difficult not to feel resentful about this when one considers what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty,2 and it is not unusual for me to get hot under the collar when I read about another old person who has left all his /her money to a dog or cat home.这两句在表达意义上用词十分到位,随着两个 when 引导的状语从句内容的递进,主句对表现气愤程度的加强通过用词的不同而表达得淋漓尽致;排比结构的运用使观点更加明确 在1 中 It is difficult not 和 to feel resentful about this 与2 中的 it is not unusual 和 to get hot under the collar 词语表达极其准确。这需要考生在平时大量阅读文章时多注意积累好的语言表达。
9.首尾要呼应
上述几项被阅卷者称为闪光点 ,即加分的因素。除此而外, 更重要的一点是要注意文章的完整性,即首尾要呼应。
10.检查要到位
这个重要环节往往被考生忽略不计,而因为少了这个环节所造成的后果真可谓是功亏一篑。在阅卷过程中,时不时会发现 ourself、thinked、the person who are… ,而这些会酿成不良后果的错误完全可在一两分钟的时间内检查、修改完成。所以, 在写完短文后, 要耐心地再读一遍。

第五篇:2012考研英语高分作文
小作文复习指导
考研英语小作文考察的多是辞职信、感谢信、道歉信等20多种类型的应用文文体,着重考察考生的逻辑思维能力和语言应用能力。万学海文提示2012年的广大考生小作文具有如下特点:重格式,不轻内容;轻思想,重交际;字数少,易得分;重套路,难发挥。2012年的考生应着重依照这四个特点来进行复习。
背格式:
小作文重格式的特点要求考生们在格式上不能犯错,必须注意熟悉一些应用文的格式和英文中应用文的表达习惯。万学海文提示考生:格式无误是小作文得高分的第一步。
举2011年小作文题目为例:
Write a letter to a friend of yours to
1)recommend one of your favorite movies and
2)give reasons for your recommendation.You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET2.Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter.Use “Li Ming” instead.Do not write the address.(10points)
参考范文:(万学海文:《2012考研英语历年真题权威解析》)
Dear Tom,I am writing, without hesitation, to share one of my favorite movies, Forest Gump, with you, which is not only conducive to your study, but also beneficial to your life.For one thing, the beautiful language in this original English movie may contribute to your study of English in listening, speaking, reading and writing.For another thing, the profound cultural elements implicit in the scene will equip you with foreign cultural background and, above all, enrich your daily life.Would you like to see this movie after my recommendation? Remember to tell me your opinion about the movie.I am looking forward to your early reply.Yours, Li Ming
一、称呼格式 1.用于对陌生的组织或团体负责人的称谓:Dear Madam or Dear Sir
2.用于对认识但是关系很正式的个人、组织或团体负责人的称谓:Dear Ms....or Dear Mr....3.用于对关系亲密的人的称谓:Dear Tom/Lucy(or any other name)
二、正文格式
缩进式: 段落之间无空行,每段开头空四个字母。
三、落款格式
Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter.Use“...”instead.落款时可以使用下列万能格式:
Yours, Li Ming
背范文:
背诵是考生积极备战、快速提高写作成绩的一条捷径。考生应严格按照真题的要求独立写作,对比真题解析中的范文,发掘范文中的亮点和得分点,找出自己文章中格式、语法和逻辑上的错误。背诵一些历年真题解析中的优秀范文和优秀的小作文写作模板来提高小作文得分。
技巧锦囊:掌握固定格式,准确用词,注意不同类型的要点。
布局:
小作文的布局上一般可以分为三段展开。第一段:开门见山,直接点明主题。第二段:摆出内容,陈述原因,罗列建议。第三段:回应首段,再次感谢,期待回复。
语言:
用词准确:用词准确是最基础的要求之一。
语法正确:语法错误是考试的失分点所在,在小作文的写作中应尽量少用缩略语和口语。
句型多变:例如既有并列句,也有复合句,还有从句。
小作文的考查要求中会体现出文章的背景场合和写作目的,考生应针对不同情境选择不同表达。不同的应用文有不同的用语,万学海文英语辅导老师们建议2012年的考生对某些应用文的格式和习惯用语加以熟悉和背诵,以便运用自如。
注意: 虽说小作文的字数不多,但考生们最好还是不要忙于动笔,仔细审题后,先理清思路,认真列个提纲再下笔。写作时,万学海文英语考研辅导专家们建议2012年的考生们应注意下几个方面的问题:第一,交代清楚目的;第二,注意关联词或衔接词的运用,以便阅卷老师明了篇章结构;第三,有必要时对个人观点进行适当阐述;第四,用简短的语句代替冗长的语句,行文切忌复杂。最后,完成作文以后,应该检查、修改,以免需要表达清楚的细节和要点被遗漏。
2012年考研英语图画作文备考建议
一、图画作文概括
图画作文不仅需要考生描述图画中所给出的基本信息,更要求考生对图画进行更深层次的理解,即要求考生能够读出图画中所隐含的深层含义,即寓意。即文章所给出的主题是什么?这需要我们认真研读图画给我们提供的信息。
首先,我们来看看这几年考研图画作文考查的主题:
年份 主题 捕鱼 爱心是一美国女孩
温室的花朵
终点也是
父母赡养
偶像
自信
取长
网络
文化
“旅2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
崇拜 的重补短,的远
与近
火锅 程”之
余 盏灯 与中国文化
起点 问题 要性 合作
互助
从以上表格的我们可以看出,考研英语图画作文所考到的主旨一般跟当今世界上热门的话题有联系,比如:赡养老人,环境保护等。因此,万学海文英语考研辅导专家建议2012年的考生在复习的时候,也可以多阅读英文文章或报刊书籍,积累素材,这样可以使自己对话题更熟悉,做到有话可说。
二、图画作文备考建议
1、审题。
审题很重要,包括题目中的direction部分,比如作文类型,写作篇幅结构,篇幅长短等;审图画,在这方面,考生要仔细审查图画,认真揣摩,从而更加准确把握图画所传递的信息;提示语,一般的图画作文都附有提示语,提示语有两个作用:限定和启发,考生应该注意,利用这些信息,这些信息在很大程度上影响到审题主旨的确立,有些考生由于没有看到或忽视了图画下面给出的提示语而对作文要深挖的主旨不能很好地理解,比如2010年的图画作文:文化火锅(附加信息:文化“火锅”,既美味又营养),它的寓意是:文化揭示出文章的话题,火锅在这里是喻体,它的显著特点是可以将多种材料混合,糅合,比喻多种文化的交融,美味是指各种各样的文化丰富了人们的精神生活,营养指的是文化交融能给人类带来很多好处。而当年由于很多考生在审题上忽视了附加信息而失去了好多的分数,比如,把文化放在火锅里乱七八糟地煮,说明文化遭受污染,说明人们不重视文化,呼吁文化保护,文化全球化的利弊分析等。以上所列举出的对作文主旨的分析都是断章取义,凭空臆造,想当然。所以万学海文建议2012年的考生在写这类作文的时候,一定不要忘记要好好瞅瞅图画下面的附加信息,有时字体很小,我们更需要留心。
词汇。
词汇是英语的基础,是备考各类型题目的基础,写作也不例外,如果词汇不够丰富,不会灵活运用,特别是在考研英语写作中,如果不掌握一些增分的亮点词汇,是写不出一篇优美的200个单词左右的图画作文的。所以万学海文提醒2012年的考生在平时备考的时候,一定要积累相关的词汇,以便在考场上得心应手。
3,内容的完整性。
文章的组织是否连贯,词的衔接是否到位等。因此,在此提醒考生应该熟记一些表示衔接的词或短语,兹列举一些如下:
转折关系:but, however, yet, on the contrary, contrary to, in contrast to, whereas, rather than, instead of, conversely
让步关系:although, even, despite, nevertheless, as, still, much as, anyhow, in any case, whatever
总分关系:for example(分), such as(分), including(分), in sum(总), in general(总), on the whole(总)
因果关系:because, due to, in that, owing to, since, now that, lead to, contribute to, result in, in view of, so, hence, therefore, consequently
递进关系:still, indeed, furthermore, besides, in addition, what is more
条件关系:if, in the event of, so long as, unless, only if ,in case, provided that,并列关系:and, as well as, likewise, not...only...but also...时间关系:when, while, as, after, before, since, until, as soon as, once, simultaneously, at the same time, whenever
目的关系:so that, in order that, lest, for fear that,经典句型:this is an interesting and thought—provoking picture.As is depicted(conveyed, illustrated)in the picture, we can deduce that„
The meaning conveyed by the picture is clear but profound The two pictures reveal a not uncommon social phenomenon that„
考生在备考图画作文的时候,万学海文考研辅导老师温馨小提示:一定要认真审题,揣摩作者的意图,以便在文章主旨的理解和结构的搭建上做到心中有数,考生还要特别注意图画下面附加信息的作用,它的作用千万不能小觑,除此外,相关词汇的积累,衔接词、短语的积累也是十分重要的。
2012考研英语大作文写作模式指导
考研作文分为Part A、Part B两部分,也就是我们通常所说的大作文、小作文,考生在短期内通过努力可以快速提高。一般以漫画为主是大作文的考试风格,题材多选择议论文。一般漫画都直观、简单,考生的写作重点着重于下:
一、描写漫画:50个单词左右。该部分写作要求语言简练、无语病。
二、110-150个单词左右,按照题目要求的步骤分段写作,题目可能是要求考生解释图片隐含的深意表明立场并举例(如2007年),也有可能是反省图片反映现象产生的后果并表述自己观点(2006年),等。我们选取万学海文《2012考研英语历年真题权威解析(2002-2011)》中的部分优秀例句为考生复习大作文进行参考。

历年的考研作文都是与当下结合非常紧密的题材,考生也都会按照相应的方法进行复习。那么,作为考研英语的最后一道题目,大作文也有自己的命题规律。万学海文英语考研辅导专家们根据多年的辅导经验总结出了以下五大规律,以供2012年的考研同学们进行参考。
1.关注热点。
2006年关注偶像崇拜现象,2009年关注网络问题,2011年的考察环保问题,都是大众或者是青年人关注的热点。在年底时可以从网络上搜集到本年份大事记,从而有侧重的准备相关词汇和句型。万学海文提醒2012年的考生注意:出题者为避免作文题目被猜中,往往可能会将热点延迟进行命题。所以考生在准备大作文的时候可以参考本年和前一年所发生的大事进行预测。
2.与大学英语四、六级考试有关联。
2008年6月的CET6作文题目:《电子书是否可以替代传统书籍?》,2009年考研英语作文的题目是《网络的近与远》;2009年12月的CET6作文关注“参加各种艺术培训班”,2009年6月的CET4作文围绕着“博物馆”,2010年考研英语大作文题目是《文化火锅》,可见,考研大作文题目偶尔与四级考试的作文题目相关,常常与六级考试的作文题目相关,近期CET考试的作文题目为考生们提供了练笔、积累素材的好资源。
3.考题倾向于大型宏观话题。
2001年爱心,2003年成长,2005年家庭,2010年文化,2011年环保。试卷中给出的图片、图表只是表达局部或单个情况,入口小,话题大,命题从来不在细枝末节具体环节、或个别事件上做文章。社会积极面是命题主旨的趋向,考生需要以成熟主流的心态来思考问题的积极解决方案、在图画寓意中发现哲理。
4.避开政治和敏感话题
为避免过多的争议,政治话题因其观点难以达成普遍共识,是非曲直难以一时断定,不适合成为考题。敏感性话题同样也不适合成为考研英语的作文题目。
5.命题中的“和谐社会”倾向
围绕主流思想和时代背景,考研作文命题团队已经逐渐形成了以“和谐社会”为核心的命题思路和模式。可以用和谐的三个不同层次对“和谐社会”倾向下的作文话题进行划分:和谐发展之——个体,和谐发展之——个人、他人与社会,和谐发展之——人与自然。密切关注此类话题,掌握与“和谐”相关语词备考,是考生备考的当务之急。
