开头万能公式
1. 开头万能公式一: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 proverb 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. 开头万能公式二: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不应该出现虚假数字的,但是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 „ 结尾万能公式
1. 结尾万能公式一: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
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. 结尾万能公式二: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。
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.

第三篇:09年专四作文
Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment? China’s economic growth has brought fast development to tourism since 1978.An increasing number of people start to go on traveling, which unavoidably bring harm to the environment.On the one hand, tourism leads to the destruction of ecological balance.Many so called green parks have been built to attract visitors.However, the constructions of those parks need lots of trees because they can be made into artificial chairs, tables or wood house, so tourism also causes the decline in areas of the green land, which adds the risk of floods.On the other hand, tourism causes water pollution.Some places of interest are famous for natural beauty, like some big waterfalls and lakes, but some rude behaviors, such as leaving plastic bags in the water indeed have a bad effect to water.To sum up, I think it is not worth sacrificing environment to develop economic.As citizens, everyone should do their own part to protect our environment.March 27, 2009 Dearly Lily, I have learned from an ad that a schoolboy is looking for a private English-language tutor.I think it is a good chance for you so you can get a part-time job at your free time.Most important of all, you want to be a teacher, your dream.I hope you will take the opportunity and may you succeed.Yours,Rose

第五篇:专四便条作文
专四作文写作技巧——如何写好英文便条
英文书信有正式与非正式之分,英文便条为非正式书信。
TEM4把写便条(note~writing)列入必考项目之一,其目的是按照要求,测试英语专业学生在基础阶段末用英语书面表达思想的能力。便条成绩在TEM4笔试成绩中虽只占10%,却如同一面镜子,能反映出学生英语书面交际的能力。有关英文便条写作,国内外学者多有论述。学者们认为,便条是一种简短信函,多使用非正式语体,它的形式比一般书信简单。例如,写便条的人与收便条的人的地址、称呼中“Dear'一词、日期中的年份以及结尾套语(complimentary close,亦称结束语),都可以省去;便条正文篇幅可小至
一、两句话。可是,TEM4便条写作而言,并不完全像以上说的那样,它有一定的限制。
英语专业四级考试大纲写便条的要求是,“根据提示写大约50-60字的通知、便条、请贴等。要求格式正确,语言得体。”英语专业四级考试大纲的要求其实也给TEM4便条制定了评分标准。TEM4便条的评分往往从格式、内容、语言、字数这四方面来考虑。因此,要想写好TEM4便条,就必须掌握TEM4便条的基本要求,注意TEM4便条写作中常见的问题,以便对症下药,充分发挥自己的英文写作水平。
TEM4便条的基本要求:
(一)格式(format)正确TEM4便条的格式与普通英文书信格式基本相同。
具体来说,它应有日期(date)、称呼(saluwfion)、正文(body)及结尾(ending),结尾包括结尾套语(complimentary close)和签名(signature)。
1.日期指写便条的日期。英文便条与汉语便条的日期写的地方有别,前者的日期一般写在便条的右上角,偶尔也见写在便条的左上角,而后者的日期则写在便条的右下角,即写在签名的下面。英文日期与汉语日期的写法也有不同,汉语一般先写年,然后再写月、日,而英文则一般把年份写在月、日的后面。另外,英文日期的月、日与年之间通常用逗号隔开。例如,2008年4月21日通常写成April 21,2008或April 21 st,2008;当然,由于是非正式书信,也可以去掉年份,写成Ap l 2l或April 21st(不过,这种写法,只是最近两年才被TEM4接受),或者写成21/4/2008或4/21/2008。日期能说明便条的有效度,没有日期,则会使人感到茫然。
2.称呼称呼是指写便条人对收便条人的称谓,一般都以Dear开头,写在日期下一两行、留出左页边空白,顶格写。TEM4试卷中一般对写便条人与收便条人之间的关系作了提示。提示中的“you”指的是写便条人,提到的另一方便是收便条人。称呼时,一般只需在其名字前加Dear即可,如Dear Susan,Dear Tom。若此人有头衔(social title),称呼时,便要保留其头衔,例如Dr.Herce,要称DearDr.Pierce,不称DearPierce。如果提示中的另一方是以MrsWang或MrWang出现,称呼时也只需在其前加Dear便可,即称DearMrsWang或DearMrWang,若只称DearWang则视为不妥。当对方为亲属时,在Dear 后面加上表示亲属关系大写的字眼即可,如DearGrandpa,DearAunt。值得一提的是,近年来TEM4也接受不带Dear的称呼。称呼后面可用逗号,也可用冒号。
3.正文正文是写便条人要叙述或谈论的事情,是便条的主要组成部分。一般书信是在称呼下方隔两行处开始写正文。但就TEM4便条而言,一般在称呼的下一行开始写正文便可。正文的首行左边一般留约5个字母宽的空白,但也可顶格写。便条的内容简单、字数少,因此,正文一般只需写一段或两段。若有两段,第二段的首行应与第一段的首行对齐写。4.结尾如前所述,结尾包括结尾套语和签名。
(1)结尾套语结尾套语的位置一般是在正文最后一行的下面,从便条的中央部分开始,稍向右缩进。当然,若正文的开头是往左顶格写,此时的结尾套语也应往左顶格写。开头字母要大写,末尾要用逗号。结尾套语为写便条人对收便条人的谦称或客套以示礼貌,措辞的变化按照不同的关系而定。现分述如下:
① 致不熟悉的人,宜用较庄重的套语,如Yours sincerely,Sincerely yours,或Sincerely等。
② 对上级、长者,除了可用上述较庄重的套语,也可用Yoursrespectfully或Respectfully yours。
③ 对一般朋友或熟人可用①中提到的较庄重的套语,也可用Yours等较为随便的套语。
④ 对密友则采用较随便的套语为宜。例如,Yours,Love,With love,Best wishes,Best regards等等。
⑤ 对亲属可用下列任何一种:Love,With love,All my love,Yours afectionately,Affectionately yours,Lovingly yours,Yo urslovingly,Your loving son(Dad?);但对亲人,不宜用Sincerelyyours~由于TEM4便条写作一般是针对考生日常生活或学习相关的事情,写作的对象一般是其朋友、老师、熟人,因此,TEM4通常只接受Yours sincerely,Sincerely yours,Sincerely,或Yours这几种结尾套语。
(2)签名即写便条人署名,位于结尾套语下,偏右。若结尾套语是往左顶格写,这时的署名也应往左顶格写。签名也由写便条人和收便条人的关系和亲疏程度而定。有时TEM4指定了写便条人的名字,签名时应采用那个名字。若无指定名字,考生也不宜用自己的真名。一般只需写名不写姓,但若用了较庄重的结尾套语,此时可签全名。
(二)内容完整一般而言,一封理想的TEM4便条应包括以下三点:
(1)写便条的原因;
(2)要告诉的事情;
(3)有关的希望、建议或要求等。便条写作提示的情况都是与人们日常生活或学习相关的事情。
例如,对别人提供的帮助表示感谢,邀请朋友参观书展,因不能准时赴约而表示道歉,把信息转告给朋友等。所提示的内容就是考生要表达的思想内容。思想内容有先后之分,要
讲究其逻辑性,还得注意其完整性。生活中有些约定俗成的东西,写作时,应考虑这方面的因素。例如,写道歉信时,一般都先向对方表示歉意或内疚,同时说明发生疏忽、过失、或错误的原因,提出弥补的办法,这样有利于取得对方的谅解。现以近年一次英语专业四级考试便条写作为例加以说明:该提示是:Yesterday you failed tO turn up for the appointmentwith your teacher,Professor Wang.Write him a note of apology an dmake a request for another meeting.YO u should also suggest the timefor the requested meting.仔细阅读这一提示,你就会发现,第一句为第二旬所要求的道歉确定了内容;为了求得对方的谅解,获得另一次会面的机会,你就必须说明前次未能赴约见面的原因。因此,本便条的内容必须包括以下四项:
(1)apologizingforfailuretOturn upforthe appointment,(2)the rea~nforfailuretOturn叩,(3)making a request for another meeting,(4)suggesting the timeflorthe requestedmeeting。其中(3)、(4)为提示中明确要求表达的内容,(1)、(2)则是根据道歉类书信特点而必须表达的内容。内容为便条写作的重头戏。写作时,切莫忽视提示中的任何信息,同时要关注交际中所需的相关信息。当然,在注意提示中的信息时,特别是首句,要注意用自己正确的语言来表达,不能完全抄提示,否则会扣分。
(三)语言得体内容和语言是一个统一体。内容抓住后,应以恰当的语言来表达。一般来说,便条的语言要简单明嘹,用词平易。当然,语言风格还应与情景一致,不同的对象,所使用的语言应有所不同。相对来说,对上级、长者、不熟悉的人的语言较为正式,对亲朋好友的语言则较为随便。不过,不管对方是谁,行文中都应体现态度诚恳礼貌。
(四)字数符合要求TEM4便条总字数(包括日期、称呼、结尾在内)的要求是约50—60个字。尽管在这数字之间还可以少l0字,或多20字,即40-80字,不过,还是篇幅适中为好,以免因显得太短或太长而扣分。二TEM4便条写作中常见的问题便条写作中常见的问题主要表现在格式、内容、语言等方面。
(一)格式方面1.日期部分往往被漏掉,或漏掉日期中年与月、日之间的逗号,或在日期后面加点,或按汉语的顺序写成(如2006年4月22日,写成April 22 2006;April 22,2006.;2006.5.9;其正确形式请参照前文的相应部分),或按汉语习惯把它写在签名的下面。2.称呼未往左顶格写,或与日期同写一行;称呼后面打句号,或未打逗号或冒号。3.把结尾套语和签名同写一行,或漏写结尾套语,或漏掉结尾套语后面的逗号。
(二)内容方面便条的内容虽简单,但漏掉必须表达的内容的情况时有发生。例如,在前文提到的那次TEM4便条写作,考生对未赴约的原因应加以说明,可不少考生只写了如下相似内容的便条:I am verysorry for missing yesterday’S appointment,SO I do hope we can mak ean other one.Sunday evening is convenient for me.W hat about you?内容方面还因理解不透,或自立标准而导致交际不成功的情况也不鲜见。还是以前文提到的那次TEM4便条写作为例,评分取样的九份答卷中就有三份类似的例子。其中一份这样写道,“I’mvery glad to receive your note.About Our appointment I think we canchan ge an other time.M aybe tomorrow,1 will
be fre an d stay athome all day.Ifyouarealsofreetomorrow,you Can callme atan ytime.Then 1 will visit you?”该提示要写一封简短的道歉信,而这位考生的答案却与此大相径庭,信中丝毫没有流露出道歉的意念。
(三)语言方面便条中的语言错误可分为理解和表达两大类,主要体现在措辞、语法、拼写等方面。
1.措辞不当措辞不当在这里既指一般遣词造句中出现的语言运用错误(performance erors),又指因未按TEM4便条测试中提供的语境遣词造句而产生的语用失误(pragmatic failures),还指因忽视对方的社会或文化背景差异而造成的语用失误。此类问题在TEM4便条写作中相当严重。我们还是以前文提到的那次TEM4便条写作为例;鉴于篇幅,且举三例:
(1)在1 would appreciate you if you could have anothermeeting with me这句话中,appreciate后面的宾语不妥。只要细心的读者翻阅一下词典,就会发现appreciate(感谢)的英文释义是be grateful for(something),若把句中的you改为it(代表后面那件事),或把appreciate改为be grateful to,或把appreciate you改为be grateful,这句话就对了。
(2)考生在便条的开头就对因病未能与王教授约会表示道歉后,接着写道:I'm anxious tO make an appointment with you.而根据上下文应该是,I'm anxious tO make another appointment withyou(??与你另订一次约会)。
(3)你(写便条人)自己因某种原因而没去赴约,况且约会的对象是你的老师,事后还要命令对方到你家来见你,或以命令的IZl吻表示要给你打电话。象“You must come tO my home”,或”Give me a call to discuss it further"这类话有失礼貌,使人读后感到不舒服。
2.语法错误便条中的语法错误有多种,常见的有冠词、词性、动词的时与体、句子结构等错误。
(1)冠词错误,如I'm anxious to make a(应为an)appointment with you.(2)词性错误,如I must make an apologize(正确为apology)for failing to turn up for the appo intment.(3)动词的时与体等方面的错误,例如:a.If you will be(应把will be改为are)free tomorrow,we shall meet again.b.I am sorry to fail(正确为to have failed而不是to fall,因事情已发生)to turn up for the appointment yesterday.(4)句子结构错误,例如:I'm very sorry.I didn't turn up for the appointment with you.Because my mother was seriously ill yesterday and I had to take her to see the doctor(应改为I'm very sorry I didn’t turn up for the appointment with you yesterday because my mother was seriously ill and I had to take her to see the doctor).3.拼写错误与别的主观题一样,便条写作中拼写错误数见不鲜。
例如:professor---profesor/profesor;convenient---conveint/convinen/convinient;receive—recieve;appointment---apointment/poitment.三建议综上所述,TEM4便条的行文虽简短、形式较简单,但写好它并非一件易事,它涉及考生的实际英语水平和临场发挥的方方面面。现就考前准备与临场发挥两方面提几点建议。
(一)考前准备1.抓好英语基本功的训练,做到多读、多背、多学。2.养成良好的学习习惯,做到多思、多问、勤查词典。3.注意英汉文化背景差异,牢记英汉书信格式上的异同之处。4.调整好心态,牢记:“功到自然成”。
(二)临场发挥1.仔细阅读、研究所给提示,包括情景、要求、与收便条人之间的关系等。2.根据提示认真构思,包括结构、语气、用词等。3.利用有把握的英文知识,简明扼要地表达提示中要表*考试~大达的思想内容。4.语言要流畅,切记以对方为重、使对方愉悦、尽量少用被动语态、避免文句单调。5.注意卷面要干净整齐,字迹要工整清晰。6.挤时间认真检查:1)格式是否正确,有无漏掉成分;2)内容是否完整,有无缺少部分;3)语言是否规范、得体,有无语法、拼写错误,等等。附:范文
