第一篇:2010年12月英语四级考试写作的几点注意事项
[导读]随着大学英语四六级考试时间的临近,很多同学写信来询问同样的一个问题:“我怎样才能够在短时间内提高我的写作水平?”答案其实是否定的。首先我们必须明确:冰冻三尺,非一日之寒;英语学习是一个长期积累的过程,短期的突击无异于舍本逐末、杯水车薪。然而,这并不意味着我们不能够通过掌握考试规律来调整我们的临考状态、提高我们的应考能力。以下,我想就如何利用应试规律、最大限度地发挥同学们的写作水平谈九点个人的看法。
休息
考试迫在眉睫时,同学们往往容易进入一种临考状态。这种状态比较突出的表现是夜不能寐。尤其是在专业课和全国四六级考试纷至沓来的时候,很多同学更是发扬连续作战的精神,通宵达旦,头悬樑、锥刺骨。其实这对于像四六级考试这样的高强度考试而言是有百害而无一益的。道理很简单,四六级考试对于一个学生来说,不仅是一次英语水平的综合测试,也是一种意志力、甚至是体力的考验。没有良好的休息作为后盾,考生很难笑到最后。所以,保证充足的睡眠是最基本也是首要的应试技巧。
营养
无庸置疑,营养的摄入在最后关头也是异常重要的一环。在保证充分睡眠的同时,食物是另一个“工夫在诗外”的客观因素。尤其是参加四级考试的同学,早餐一定要定时定量,不可或缺。一般来说,类似奶酪苏这样的奶制品外加一杯热牛奶或者热巧克力已经足以提供整个半天考试所需的热量,当然,这也因人而异。有些体质虚弱的同学也可以考虑服用一些如西洋参、鸡精这样的营养品。不过,安眠药等有副作用的药物一定要慎用,否则过犹不及。心理
古人云,不战而屈人之兵,很大程度上取决于心理因素。随着四六级考试改革的深入,会有更多,更新,更难的题目,包括作文题目出现,这样就要求我们有处惊不变的能力。即使是出现某种没有预料到的题型,考生也应该及时调整心态、从容不迫地应答。事实上,历史经验证明:题目要求越是高,难度越是大,考生的发挥余地也就越大。挑战和机遇是成正相关的。
评分
知己知彼,百战不怠。熟悉老师的评分习惯,对于考生正常、甚至是超常发挥自身水平也十分有益。正常情况下,阅卷老师要领会贯彻考试规定的评分原则,依照文章的结构和语言水平进行评分。然而,除此以外,有“两个基本点”我们也需要给予足够的重视——闪光点和语法点。在一篇出类拔萃的范文中,我们往往可以看到像提问法、谚语总结法、从句、并列句、理由段公式、理由词汇、路线句型、插入语、名词化、和被动语态等等闪光点;而在一篇低分例文中,基本的语言错误则多得数不胜数。
审题
磨刀不误砍柴工。在落笔前花两三分钟时间进行构思,既有利于理清行文思路、也避免了差之毫厘、失之千里的遗憾。尤其是在应对图表类作文时,我们更是要看清图表,牢牢把握各个数据的变化和相互关系,才能够下笔。否则张冠李戴,即使文章本身再不同凡响、语惊四座,也只会竹篮打水、甚至起到适得其反的效果。
卷面
对于像作文这样的主观题而言,考生与阅卷老师从来就犹如搏弈,无形中彼此互动、相互影响。一个考生可以做的,首先是通过卷面给阅卷老师下意识地传达个人信息。用笔的颜色(深蓝色使人心情放松愉快)、粗细(粗线条给人以安全感),整齐划一的格式(段首或一律顶格或一律空两格),明了的段落感(每段空一行),清晰的字数感(一行以十字为宜),工整的字迹都会给任何阅读者留下深刻的正面印象,从而使考生先发制人、取得先机。结构
有始有终、首尾照应,是任何一篇好文章的基本标准之一,也是两大评分原则之一。如果说广大考生已经给第一段以足够重视的话,那么是不是大多数考生都意识到了理由段的条理和最后一段的呼应在全文中所具有的不可忽视的地位了呢?其实,要写好理由段,我们只需要注意表示启承转合的衔接词即可。而要写好结尾,最好的方法莫过于温故而知新,回顾
第一段的大致内容了。
表达
言之无文,行而不远。语言作为评分原则中的基本要素之一,在四六级作文评分的整个
过程中具有决定性作用。有评分老师甚至断言:“It is not what you say, it is the way that you say it.”(重要的并不在于考生写了些什么,而在于考生是怎么表达的。)虽然这种说法本身似乎有失偏颇,可是参加过国际标准化英语考试的同学应该也听说过那么一句话,叫做:“Give the monkey exactly what he wants.”(给阅卷老师最想要的。),不是吗?譬如同样是描述数据,一些同学拘泥于图表本身,动辄按部就班地引用图表上现成的数字和年代,其实这都是图表作文的忌讳。聪明的同学引而不用,他们常喜欢用倍数、分数、小数、百分比、或者一些动词(double / triple / quadruple)来表现极端数据,动态数据以及他们的相异之处。
检查
行百里者半九十。一篇成功的作文少不了反复推敲、一再修改。然而,由于考试时间和条件等诸多因素的限制,考生绝对需要慎重对待作文的检查和修改。这里,我不得不提考生检查作文时的三大“通病”,即,数字数、孤芳自赏、和做结构与内容上的修改。我们必须明确:考试作文的润色和修改只需要达到三个目的即可:1.拼写正确,看文章中是否有汉字、多余符号、糊乱涂改、划线、和错别字;2.搭配正确;和3.语法正确,特别是人称、时态、和单复数的三“一致”。
鲁迅先生说过,世界上本没有路,走的人多了也就成了路。我们要善于在学习实践中发现、总结和运用规律,这样才能够在复习迎考的过程中事半功倍,百尺竿头、更进一步。路漫漫其修远兮,愿以此文抛砖引玉。

Nowadays, TV shows are very popular.TV programs like Super Girls and Dreams in China have attracted thousands of people to participate, and many more wait to watch them when they are on show.Why are so many people interested in such programs?
Advocates say that these programs provide excellent opportunities for young people to express themselves and to show their specialty.They help improve their self-confidence and can add to their courage to face all kinds of challenges.However, some people criticize these programs, arguing that they are not only a waste of energy, money and time, but also a revelation of social vanity.In my opinion, we need not be too critical about such TV programs.If they can bring happiness to those who participate in them as well as to the audience, they are justifiably entitled to prosper.3.A Letter to the University President
Dear Mr.President,I’m a sophomore majoring in Law.I’m writing to make suggestions on improving the education quality of our university.First, I think there is still much room for improvement concerning our classroom education.Some teachers just recite textbooks and their courses are boring.It’s not very helpful for us.We need more interaction and communication in the classes, and we welcome more lively and practical courses.Second, we students need help to develop our initiative in our study.I hope our university can invite some famous people to deliver lectures to us on how to study.Finally, in order to get all students involved in our studies, I suggest some contests be held in the university.For example, the Department of Law can have legal knowledge contests.Thank you for reading my letter.I hope my suggestions will be seriously looked to.Yours sincerely,Li Ming

1.扩展的内容必须与主题句相一致,关系不大的句子应坚决予以舍弃。
Example: Telephones have been useful in many ways.First, by dialing the number, people can obtain and send information immediately.In modern times when time is money, people need timely information for their private or business matters, and the telephone is the best device for this purpose.In an office, the telephone seems to be the most common and most important device.Constant interruption by telephone may distract your attention from your work.Besides, superior to letters, on the phone you can hear the voice at the other end;you can convey your ideas and feelings to each

Last night I was driving home from work.I had an accident.I was following behind a truck,driving at about 30 kilometers an hour.I was watching the traffic carefully because it was getting dark.Suddenly a small girl ran onto the road from the left.She was chasing a dog and she wasn’t paying any attention to the traffic.I immediately applied the brakes and turned the steering wheel quickly to the right.The girl jumped towards the side of the road as soon as she saw my car.Fortunately I did not hit her,but I hit a car coming in the other direction.Luckily I was not driving very fast so the damage was not serious.It is better to damage a car than to injure a young child,I thought to myself.B: 以第一人称写一篇记叙文,讲述在旅行中经历的一件小事。

Go on a Mediterranean Journey
My wife and I have always enjoyed traveling by sea,and last year we decided to go on a Mediterranean journey.Although our holiday was rather expensive we thought that the high standard of accommodation,the first-class food and the many interesting places we saw were well worth the price we paid.We found that most of the other passengers were friendly and interesting,but there was one man,a Mr.James,who irritated and annoyed us.Whatever subject we talked about,it seemed that he was an expert at it.He had,apparently,read more books,visited more countries and studied more languages,than anyone else had.After a few days,we ate our meals in silence,because nobody wanted to begin a conversation that would soon be taken over by this man.Then my wife had an idea.She suggested that we might think of an unusual subject,look it up in an encyclopedia and then talk about it at dinner.If it were an unusual subject,Mr.James could not possibly know anything about it.The subject we chose was “English Agriculture in the Eleventh Century.” At dinner that night we

范文点评
A Famous Clock
When you visit London,one of the first things you will see is Big Ben,the famous clock which can be heard all over the world on the B.B.C.If the Houses of Parliament had not been burned down in 1834,the great clock would never have been erected.Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new Houses of Parliament were being built.It is not only of immense size,but is extremely accurate as well.Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day.On the B.B.C.you can hear the clock when it is actually striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower.Big Ben has rarely gone wrong.Once,however,it failed to give the correct time.A painter who had been working on the tower hung a pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed it down!
【点评】这是《新概念英语》中的一篇经典说明文,介绍了世界著名的“大本钟”。文章开篇指明该钟位于英国伦敦,且全世界的人们通过BBC就能够听到钟声。接下来讲述了“大本钟”的由来,特点——不仅外型巨大,而且走时准确,在结尾处讲了“大本钟”的一个幽默的小插曲——油漆工把油漆桶挂在指针上,把钟弄慢了。细读这篇文章,我们不难发现,区区159个单词就把“大本钟”的光辉形象牢牢地刻在读者的脑海里,为什么?本文基于事实,分析了主题的来龙去脉,语言简洁又不失生动贴切,作者态度客观又充满幽默,使读者既“明白了事理”,又对事物有较完整明晰的了解认识,此乃说明文之真谛也。

Goals
Everyone has goals.Many people do not reach their goals for lack of planning.These three sets of goals should be developed: lifetime,intermediate and short term.Lifetime goals should be written out.These goals should be clear and reasonable.For instance,the goal to win a research prize is clear and measurable.Other lifetime goals might include publishing a certain number of influential books or articles,earning a departmental chairmanship at a major university,successfully competing for a grant from the National Science Foundation or securing a consultantship with a big corporation.Intermediate goals relate to outcomes during the next few years.For the beginning doctoral student,intermediate goals may include completion of course work and preparation of a doctoral research proposal.Like lifetime goals,these are measurable and clearly stated.Short-term goals involve outcomes expected during the next 12 months.These goals are more performance oriented,and they help with achievement of intermediate goals.Examples of short-term goals are earning an A in a course,learning how to program a computer or performing an experiment.【点评】本文介绍了人生的三种目标:终生的、长期的和短期的目标。在文中采用了说明文常用的方法:定义、举例、分类和比较等。
