第一篇:考研英语小作文和大作文不同
考研英语小作文和大作文不同,有其独特的特点。大致可分二十多个类型,例如申请信,介绍信等等。很多同学往往会忽视小作文的复习,认为掌握了这几种类
型的模板就可以拿高分。实际上从历年的考生成绩来看,小作文得高分却很难。我们为大家总结了小作文考题的以下几个特点,希望能够帮助广大考生对小作文复习有更加清醒的认识。
特点
1、重格式,不轻内容
应用文的大作文的一个很大区别就是重格式,规律性强。格式和套路不对,一般会给阅卷老师留下很不好的印象。例如:信件一般不需要题目,通知和告示却需要,如2010年的题目Volunteers wanted。不只题目,还有客套话以及署名等。例如:公务信函中的称呼,一般而言,如果是不认识的人,称呼为敬词+尊称。例如,Dear Sir or Madam 或To whom it may concern;如果是写给关系正式的某团体中的具体人,称呼为敬词+尊称+名。例如,Dear Mr.xx或Dear Ms.xx;对于关系较亲密的人可以直呼其名(Dear)Peter等。这都是有规律可循的。
特点
2、轻思想,重交际
这里所谓的轻思想,主要是指因为100字的应用文,除去那些客套话,其实一般主体部分也就2-3个句子就可以解决。这么短的篇幅,是不可能要求思想性有多强。这点和大作文不一样,大作文中,如果你没有一定的思想深度,文章结构会很松散,让人感觉是句子的堆砌。而那种连贯性和衔接手法的应用也不会太准确。而小作文,我们要做到的只是注意用词语体以及语域的适当性,要点覆盖的全面性。
特点
3、字数少,易得分
上面我们提到了,应用文的篇幅很短,这使得我们很容易得分。试想,如果想在阅读理解中得到10分,你需要在理解一篇500-600字的文章的基础上答对5道选择题。从这个角度而言,小作文的确是容易拿分的部分,应该成为考生提分的一个板块。
特点
4、重套路,难发挥
应用文的这一个特点,仍然是和它的套路性、格式化有关。因此,我们更加需要用词的准确性。需要我们对于一些语言的语体特点(genre features)进行区分。以免让词汇的语体影响到准确性。写给机构的信函,应该避免使用太口语化的语言。例如06年是写给一个机构的申请信,而08年是写给友人的私人信件,那么在这两年的应用文写作中,就要求使用不同的语言。从称呼到正文部分,08年的文章用词都可以更口语化和随意一些。正因为这种套路的稳定性,对于同等基础的考生来讲,这部分很难达到技压群雄的效果,很难拉开和别人的距离。也就是说,对于所有的考生来说,得10分不容易,但是得2分甚至4分也很不容易。
以上就是小作文的四个主要的考题特点,2012年的考生在复习英语的时候可以着重根据这四个特点来复习小作文。希望考生能够了解,在复习的时候找到更合适的方法。
