第二篇：公共英语四级写作（范文模版）

公共英语四级写作与翻译部分

一、写作要领

考生无论遇到哪一类试题，都要仔细审题，根据题目的要求确定文章的类型和中心内容，并对你自己熟悉的、可写的内容进行筛选、整理、规划、列出提纲，这是很重要的一步。提纲列好后，要围绕提纲内容展开说明自己的观点和结论，不要在写作时抛开提纲。一篇好的作文应该具备以下5个方面：

(1)内容切题，主题鲜明。

(2)表达清楚准确，条理清晰。

(3)结构完整，衔接流畅自然。

(4)句法正确多样。

(5)用词恰当丰富。

二、方法与步骤

1.提纲

提纲是写作一篇文章的详细计划、安排。提纲准备的目的是：

(1)计划要写什么。

(2)文章的思想的表达顺序。

(3)如何安排段落。

(4)使写作从头到尾围绕主题进行。内容一般用短语和词。主题、副题表达先后顺序，要用数字标明。提纲内容的安排是写作一篇好文章的关键。

2.依据提纲写作

(1)初稿

在完成提纲安排后，动笔写作的第一步是打初稿，在写初稿时要争取做到心中有数，胸有成竹，经过反复练习后，能够按照提纲安排落笔成文，一气呵成。如果突发奇想，也可修改提纲，顺理成章，但切忌偏离正题。在初稿写作时要有意识加大行距，为文章的修改留有余地。

(2)定稿及修改方法

在完成初稿后，修改是必不可少的过程。修改文章要注意以下几点：

①内容是否切题，论点是否鲜明，论证是否合理、严密。

②段落衔接时过渡使用是否合理，语句是否通顺、有没有语法错误，用词是否恰当。③拼写是否正确，标点符号、大小写是否有错误，有无其他笔误。

PETS-4写作部分考察考生的书面表达能力。全国英语等级考试第四级大纲对考试技能的要求是：PETS第四级考生应能写出多种类型的文章，包括私人和正式信函、备忘录、小结和报告。同时也能写一般描述性，叙述性和说明性的文章。

三:写作华龙点睛

考生根据提示信息（中/英文）写出一篇160-200词（标点符号不计算在内）的短文。提示信息的形式有主题句、写作提纲、规定情景、图、表等。

该部分的考试时间为35分钟。满分为20分，所占权重为25%。考生在答题卡2上做答。

（一）命题规律

规律一：

从命题体裁来看，PETS-4写作部分出题体裁大体可划分成两类：一种是给出提纲或者开头句的命题写作（writing based on the given outlines or opening sentences），一种是给出提纲的图画或图表写作(writings based on the visual information or pictures or graphics)。

规律二：

从命题范围来看，PETS-4写作大多为社会热点问题和人们最为关注的问题。这种各样家庭，环境，社会普遍现象为话题的写作成为考察重点。反映了命题人希望考生能够对当今社会热门话题有所关注和思考的愿望。

规律三：

从出题形式本身来看，命题本身不会给考生制造理解障碍。写作题目易于理解，无论以文字的形式还是以图表，图画的形式出现都浅显易懂。命题不会让考生因为题目中出现的生词或者难以理解的短语而影响正常发挥。

（二）高分对策

英语写作是语言应用的一个重要方面，也是语言能力测定的重要手段，衡量写作水平的标准便是看其是否能用学过的语言材料，语法知识等用文字的形式来表达描述。

书面语言表达一般分为三个过程：思维、组织、表达。先是思维，把要写的东西在脑中思考，这往往是个别的，孤立的一些素材，很凌乱琐碎；因此要对此进行组织，把这些思维作出整理，使其条理、系统化，但这还是较粗糙的，可能还有一些用词不当或语言错误；最后才是表达，把组织过的材料仔细推敲，确无问题了再落笔成文。在撰写时要注意主谓语一致，时态呼应，用词贴切等，这就是写作。上述的三个过程，最难的就是第三个过程，这需要我们有较好的语法知识，掌握一定数量的句型，习惯用语，熟练的写作技巧，这样才能写出通顺生动的文章来。

总之，要提高英语写作水平，需要两方面的训练：一是语言基础方面的训练，要有扎实的造句、翻译等基本功，即用词法、句法等知识造出正确无误的句子；二是写作知识和能力方面的训练以掌握写作方面的基本方法和技巧。

（三）建议总结

1.阅读优秀范文

首先要搞好阅读。阅读是写作的基础，在阅读方面下的功夫越深，驾驭语言的能力也就越强。所以要写好英语先要读好英语，在语言学习方面狠下苦功，教科书要读透，因为教科书中的文章都是一些很好的范文，文笔流畅，语言规范，精彩的一些课文段落要背诵。再就是要进行大量课外阅读，并记住一些好文章的篇章结构。

2.加强练词造句训练

其次，要加强练词造句的训练。词句对作文相当于造房的材料，无好材料就造不出好房子。平时在学习阅读时要注意收集积累，把好的词语、短语、句型做好笔记。平时在练习中的错误也要做好记录，再对照正确句子，使地道的英语句子如同条件反射，落笔就对。

了解英语写作格式还有，要了解英语写作的不同体裁与格式。可以先看一本介绍英语写作入门的书，对英语写作有一个初步的概念，如怎么写议论文，如何提出论据，如何展开，如何确定中心句；又如，英语信的格式，如何根据不同身份写不同结束语等，然后根据不同的体裁进行写作练习。

3.用英语写日记 考试大论坛

要养成记英语日记勤练笔的好习惯。经常用英语记日记，等于天天在练笔，这无疑是提高英语协作的行之有效的好办法。在记日记时，不要总是用简单句，要有意识地用一些好的词组、句型、关联词和复合句等，使文句更优美生动。还有要按照题目或所给情景写文章练笔。写好后对照范文，找出差距，然后再练习，这对提高英语作文也很有帮助，在游泳中学会游泳，只有多练习才能练好。

总之，平时学习语言素材积累多了，体裁格式记住了又经常练习不断提高，到作文下笔时就会得心应手，水到渠成。

4.注意比较中英文表达的区别，使语言更加地道。

由于语言不通，中英文的思维方式也有很大不同，表现在被动语态，对时间空间概念的描述等各方面。因此，英文写作的一大技巧就是使用更加符合英美人思维方式的表达方式。在此，我们为考生精选了10个句子，考生注意仔细体会中英文表达法的区别。
