三必经步骤:大学英语四级考试作文高分技巧
时间: 2005年11月30日 08:17作者:来源:竟学网
大学四级考试写作的评分依据是:文章切切题,条理清楚,语言准确和字数符合要求。所谓切题就是看你写的作文跑不跑题。所谓条理是每一段的议论的正反清楚,描述的时间正确。语言准确要求作文的语法词汇使用正确,符合英语表达习惯。四级作文的字数要求不少于100字。针对四级考试的作文要求我们提出十二句作文法,这里所说的十二句作文法不仅包括一般英文写作的方法而且包括一套行之有效的写作方法。它的具体内容有以下几点。
一、审题
我们拿到作文后第一件要做的事就是审题。审题的作用在于使你写作不跑题(如果跑题,条理和语言再好,也得不到及格分,甚至0分。)那么审题要审什么呢?
1.体裁(议论文,说明文,描述文)
审题就是要审作文的题材和体裁。因为什么样的体裁就会用什么样的题材去写。那么体裁包括那些呢?它包括议论文,说明文和描述
文。从近些年看,四级作文不是单一的体裁,而是几种体裁的杂合体。例如:
Directions: For this part ,your are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Trying to Be A Good University Student.You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below :
做合格大学生的必要性
做合格大学生的必备条件(可以从德智体方面谈)
我计划这样做
很多人说这种类型的作文是议论文。这是片面的,因为,第一段要求写“...必要性”,这说明本段体裁是议论文;第二段要求写“...必备条件”,这说明本段要求写说明文;儿地三段要求写“...这样做”,这说明本段要求写描述文。所以在大多数情形下,四级作文是三种体裁的杂合体。
2.根据不同体裁确定写作方法
我们审题的目的就是根据不同体裁确定不同的写作方法。通过审题,我们可以看出四级作文大都是三段式。如上例第一段为议论体,第二段为说明体,地三段为描述体。而各种文体又不同的写作方式:
议论文;要有论点和论据,而且往往从正反两方面来论述。例如上面第一段的思路是:做合格大学生,会怎么样(这是从正面论述);不能做合格的大学生,会怎么样(从反面论述);所以我们要做合格的大学生(结伦)。
说明文:可以从几方面或几条来说明一个问题,就上作文而言,可以从方面(德智体)来说明合格大学生的必要性。
描述文:一“人”为中心描述一个“做”的过程。与上两段相比,本段的主语多为人称代词,他要与第二段相互应进行描述。
二、确定主题句
通过审题,我们知道该如何确定正确的写作思路。下边我们就谈如何些。第一部就是要写主题句。主题句是确保不跑题的前提,只有不跑题才有可得及格分。写主题句嘴保险的方法就是把中文提纲的各句译成英语。例如上述三段主题句分别为:
It is very necessary to be a good university student.(议
论体的主题句)
There are several respects of necessities to be a good university student.(说明体的主题句)
What I will do in the future is the following.(描述体主题句)
如果要求句是英语就可以把它变成主题句,例如这样一篇作文:
Good Health
Importance of good health
Ways to keep fit
My own practice
这样的作文的要求句就可以扩充成主题句。扩充后三段的主题句分别为:
It is very important to have good health.(将名词 importance变成形容词important)
There are four ways to keep fit for me.(用 there be 句
型)
My own practices are the following.(采用原词)
三、确保文章条理清楚
保证不跑提示写作当中第一任务,第二个重要任务就是要做到条理清楚。对于议论文来说,正反面要清楚,对于说明文来说条理要清楚,对于描述文来说,谁干什么要清楚。就拿上例Good health 来说,第一段保持正反面要清楚救应这样写:正面(With good
health ,we can...),反面(Without good health ,we can do nothing.We can’t do...)
为了使文章更具有条理性,我们可以用first(ly)second(ly)third(ly)等副词,他们可以是文章的条例性更加突出。作文是主观题,想得告分就必须引起老师的主意,老师的时间很短(每篇作文只有一两分钟就要阅完),所以我们在列调试最好不用: To be with,...after that ,...And then,...The next ,...The following ,...As last...。因为用这样的词语不利于老师看出你作文的条理性。
四、保证作文符合字数要求的十二句作文法
考生一般都希望作文达到字数而又不至于写得太多,因为写得太多一方面暴露自己语言上的弱点,另一方面又会占用过多的时间。写得太多还易跑题,一个有效的方法就是十二句作文法。
我们知道,四级作文都是三段式。我们算一下,如果我们在每一段中写上四句,即主题句加两三句扩展句和一个结论句就可以了。这样全篇在十二句左右,每一句十多个词,就又120-150个字。大家可以试图找一些作文题练一练。(编辑:赵露
第二篇:大学英语四级考试技巧经验总结
大学英语四级考试技巧经验总结
四级是每个大学生都必须经历考试的一部分,有考的好的有几次不过的,基础不同成绩大不相同,今天就给大家分享一些实用的大学英语四级考试技巧经验总结,希望对各位小伙伴的复习起到一定的作用。
一、英语四级考试听力技巧总结
英语四级考试听力技巧可概括为以下3点:
第一就是听前预测,大家可以在听力开始播放之前就快速浏览一遍题目,划出题干和选项中的关键词,这样可以大致推测出这篇文章的主题是什么。
第二就是记笔记,大家在听的时候要及时记下和题目有关的关键信息,这样做题时就能够快速定位正确选项,而不用每道题都回想半天。
第三就是要特别注意试题的排列次序,因为四级听力题常常将小题按录音材料的内容排列顺序。所以如果没有时间预先阅读选项或时间不宽裕,大家也可以边听录音边依次浏览选项,同时进行思考、答题。
具体解题技巧大家可以看巨微英语——四级真题/逐句精解那本书中的“听力满分兵法大总结”部分,那部分对四级听力各种题型的解题技巧都进行了详细的讲解,讲解的清晰透彻,值得一看。
二、英语四级考试阅读技巧总结
四级阅读题也是很重要的,大家应该学习一些实用的四级阅读技巧,这样才能提高阅读效率和阅读正确率。巨微英语那本书中的“阅读满分兵法大总结”部分就介绍了几种实用的阅读技巧,它们分别是略读法、寻读法、意群阅读法。大家在做题之前应该学一下这几种方法,从而在做题时灵活的运用它们。
三、英语四级考试写作技巧总结
四级写作也是有相关的写作技巧的,所以大家可以边练习四级写作,边学习一些写作技巧,常见的四级写作技巧有:
1、使用不定式
He is so kind that he can do me a favor.(一般)He is so kind as to do me a favor.(高级)
2、使用名词性从句
She happened to have met him.(一般)It happened that she had met him.(高级)
3、使用定语从句
The girl is spoken highly of.Her homework was well done.(一般)The girl whose homework was well done is spoken highly of.(高级)
4、使用状语从句
I won’t believe what he says.(一般)No matter what he says, I won’t believe.(高级)
5、使用虚拟语气
The patient didn’t die because there were the efforts of the doctor.(一般)But for the efforts of the doctor, the patient would have died.(高级)
6、使用强调句型
I was born in 1987.(一般)It was in 1987 that I was born.(高级)
7、使用倒装
Though I’m sick, I’ll carry on.(一般)Sick as I am, I’ll carry on.(高级)10个英语四级考试小技巧总结
1.听力一定要练,只要你把近几年听力部分都练习一遍,你就会发现很多规律,比如说火车or飞机总会晚点;邀请女士总是被拒绝;教授的讲座一定难;要做的作业一定多„„
2.虽然听力改革了,但是改革只是小部分的,以前的真题听力还是建议去听,可以去“零元课”网站打包下载,每年都有,MP3格式下载到手机上听很方便。
3.真题是一定要做的,而且真题一定要够详细,文章讲解要细,答案解析也要细,还是推荐上面的巨微英语“土豪金”(《四级真题逐句精解》),反正觉得内容确实做的很细致,很适合基础不好的同学。4.再来说说做题技巧吧,阅读题细节题每年必考地方是列举处,即有first,second,in addition„„的地方,还有举例与打比方的地方,即有as,such,for instance等出现的地方。
5.有几个做题经验:照抄原文的一般不是答案,同义词替换的是;选项表达意义具体,句子较长的一般不是答案,而概括性的、抽象的是答案;选项中有绝对语气词的比如must,never,merely等不是答案,正确答案一般表达不会太绝对。
6.语义判断题要注意,选项含义与被考单词在含义上肤浅相近的一般不是答案;
7.选项中采用试探性,不十分绝对语气词的比如tend to,often等一般是答案。
8.写作很好复习,背几个模板范文问题不大,尤其是开头和结尾,要写好,内容要有层次,善用序数词和连接词。
9.最好是积累一些谚语,和一些好的长句式,这都能为文章加分,千万不能通篇都是 i think,一定要把语法凝练的高大上一点,避免用那些低阶的词汇和语法。
10.在考试前多刷真题练手,总结题型,这样在考试中遇到类似的题型的时候自己就不在那么的慌乱。

As rust eats iron, so care eats the heart.2.“if any”结构,“if any”和“if ever”,意思是“果真有……”,“即使有……”,表示加强语气。与此类似的还有:“if anything”(如有不同的话,如果稍有区别),“if a day”(=at least,至少)。考试大,考试伴你同行来源:
There is little, if any, hope.3.“be it ever(never)so”和“let it be ever(never)so”结构,这里,“be it”中的“be”是古英语假设语气的遗留形式,现代英语则使用“let it be”。“ever so”和“never so”都表示同一意思,都表示“very”。
Be it ever so humble(let it be ever so humble), home is home.4.“the last+不定式”和“the last +定语从词”结构,这种结构中的“last”意思是“the least likely”,用于否定性推论。可译为“最不大可能的”,“最不合适的”,由原意的“最后一个……”变成“最不可能……的一个”。
He is the last man to accept a bride.5.“so…that…”句型,这个句型的意思是“如此……,以致于……”,但在翻译成汉语时,许多情况下,并不是一定要译成“如此……以致于……”,而是变通表达其含义。
He ran so fast that nobody could catch him up.6.“more + than+原级形容词(副词)”结构,这是将不同性质加以比较,其中的“more”有“rather”的意思。

Return to your work , and that at once.4.“at once…and”结构,这个结构译为“既……又……”,起相关连接的作用,相当于“both…and…”。
The novel is at once pleasing and instructive.5.“in that…”结构,这个结构的意思是“在那一点上(方面)”,可译为“因为”。类似的结构还有“in this…”。
The budget is unrealistic in that it disregards increased costs.6.“the name notwithstanding”结构,这个结构中“notwithstanding”是介词,这个介词可以置前,可以置后,比如也可写成:“notwithstanding the name”。起让步状语的作用。
Some people think of the storage battery as a sort of condenser where electricity is stored.But this is an entirely wrong conception, the name notwithstanding.1.“Every…not”和“All…not”结构,“Every…not”表示“不见得每个……都是……”;“All…not”表示“不见得所有……都是……”的意思。
Every man is not polite, and all are not born gentlemen.2.“may as well not…as”结构,此结构可译为“与其……不如不……”。

Though faith and confidence are surely more or lass foreign to my nature, I do not infrequently find myself looking to them to be able, diligent, candid, and even honest.Plainly enough, that is too large an order, as anyone must realize who reflects upon the manner in which they reach public office.2.“not…any more than…”为:“不能……,正如不能……”。
One cannot learn to sketch and express himself graphically only by reading about it any more than one can learn to swim while standing by the pool.3.“By that as it may”是“Let it be that as it may”的省略形式,是由“be”引起的另外一种假设结构,意思是“虽然如此,尽管这样”。
It is said that the nerve poison is the more primitive of the two, that the blood poison is, so to speak, a new product from an improved formula.Be that as it may, the nerve poison does its business with man far more quickly than the blood poison.4.“if at all”是一个由“if”引起的主谓结构不完整的短句结为“即将……”,“即使……”等。I can see only with great difficulty, if at all.5.由there引起的句型容易产生复杂的句子结构.There have been opened up to the vast and excellent science, in which my work is the beginning, ways and means by which other minds more accurate than wine will explore its remote corners.6.“range from …to…”结构。这是一个常见结构,译时很多情况下应变通处理,不能完全依靠辞典上的释义。
Computer applications range from an assembly line completely run by computers to a children toy responding to remote signals.1.“the way…”结构
I always thought she was a common-sense person who discussed things the way they ought to be discussed.2.复杂宾补结构
In recent years, the development of sensitive and accurate measuring equipment has made it possible to measure the acuity of hearing of any individual at different frequencies.3.某些分隔结构
1)动词短语相关部分被分隔(当“make use of ”,“take notice of”,“pay attention to”,等动词短语变成被动语态时)。
Use is made of solar energy in heating houses.2)双重定语引起的分隔。
But there is of culture another view, in which not solely the scientific passion, the sheer desire to see things as they are, natural and proper in an intelligent being, appears as the ground of it.4.“to be doing…when…”是一个句型,多译为“某人正在做……时,突然……”。在简单的句子中容易看出,一旦句子变得复杂一些,可能就不太容易识别这种句型。
She said she and a friend had gone out to dinner that night, and were walking home together at about 10 o'clock, when a “very big, very tall man”, accosted them and demanded their purses.5.“too…to”句型
Then I remembered how often I, too, had been indifferent to the grandeur of each day, too preoccupied with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the 考试大,考试伴你同行考试大-中国教育考试门户网站()
splendor of it all.6.“so much that…”句型
But he developed gradually a very musical English.He learnt to write sentences that fall away on the ear with a misty languor and it delighted him so much that he could never have enough of it.1.“when”引导状语从句有时并不好译,不能一看到when从句就考虑译为“当……的时候”,它还有许多种译法。
Anything is better than not to write clearly.There is nothing to be said against lucidity, and against simplicity only the possibility of dryness.This is a risk that is well worth taking when you reflect how much better it is to be bold than to wear a curly wig.2.“not…because…”,有时可否定前面,有时可否定because本身,往往出现歧义。应根据上下文面判定。
In 1600 the earth was not the center of the universe because the majority then supposed it was;nor, because she had more readers, was Ella wheeler Wilcox a better poet than Father Hopkins.3.“so…that, such…that”是一个普通的句型,但在同一个句子里有两处使用它却比较少见。The truth is, that in one point of view, this matter of national literature has come to such a pass with us, that in some sense we must turn bullies, else the day is lost, or superiority so far beyond us, that we can hardly say it will ever be ours.4.“by doing…”结构。这个结构的意思是“通过(做)……”,但翻译实践中不能拘泥于这种释义,不少情况下需要灵活变通。
The hippos, by depositing dung in the water, fed the fish that support the storks that destroy the rare trees.5.下面例句为一倒装句,主语很长,而且又含有非常复杂的句型。这是以形容词作表语的倒装,翻译实践中多把倒装部分译到最前面。
No less obvious is the fact there are great numbers of people so constituted or so brought up that they cannot get so much pleasure out of processes and experiences resulting in a poorer life less full of meaning.6.“what…of”句型
I can not say of myself what Johnson said of Pope: He never passed a fault unamended by indifference, nor quitted it by despair.I do not write as I do;I write as I can.1.英语的一个习惯用法是:当否定谓语think(believe)时,实际上是否定其后面的宾语从句。否定就落在宾语从句上。这样宾语从句就变成了双重否定,译时可以按双重否定译,也可按肯定来译。
It is a valuable work.I do not think anyone writes so well that he cannot learn much from it.2.“to have not…(as)to see…”中的不定式也有否定意味。
He had not the good breeding to see that simplicity and naturalness are the truest marks of distinction.3.“It occurred to sb.that…”意为“突然想到”,“It dawned on sb.that…”.“突然想起”等。从句是想起的内容。
I remember once being on a bus and looking at a stranger.He suddenly looked back 请访问考试大网站http://来源:
at me-i.e.our eyes met.My instinctive reaction was to avert my gaze.It occurred to me that if I had continued to maintain eye contact, I would have been rude and aggressive.4.“It follows that…”=“It happens as a result…”常常被译为“由此可见”,“因此”,“从前”,“可以推断”等等。
It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living.It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist.5.“that's all there is to it”,意思是“也不过如此而已”。可根据上下文视情况处理。If I'm touched, I'm touched-that's all there is to it.6.“The chances are that…”是一句型,译为“有可能……”。
The chances are you will never attempt that speed with poetry or want to race though some passages in fiction over which you wish to linger.1.Feel, see, leave引起宾语的宾语补足语,或在被动语态中引起主语补足语的某些惯用句型,有时see和feel这两个词的被动式不大好译。遇到这种情况应挖掘其深层含义,不要拘泥于表面形式。
The education of the young is seen to be of primary importance.2.某此以no, nowhere, never, not…bout, not…any, nothing but, hardly, scarcely, seldom等否定词语引出的一些结构。
I never go past the theatre but I think of his last performance.3.某些用choice between, to know better, whether or, should have avoided(或done better)等表示从两种做法中选取一种更好的做法。
Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfil needs which have hitherto been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of libing.4.某些省略情况,应清单确认省略的内容。
The country had grown rich, its commerce was large, and wealth did its natural work in making life softer and more worldly, commerce in deprovincializing the minds of those engaged in it.5.修饰成分(包括定语、定语从句、同位语从句等)多而长。
Across the court from the Manhattan apartment that I have occupied for the past few years is a dog that often hurls insults into the darkness, a few of which my dog refuses to accept and makes a tart reply.6.一些外位语,所谓外位修饰,指从句子结构和内容上不起主要信息表达功能的部分。其作用是从语气和连接上下文等方面进行补充。在翻译成汉语时,往往可独立成句,外形上不保留修饰的痕迹。
Of course, nobody was hurt this time, because we had all been to dinner, none of us being novices excepting Hastings;and he having been informed by the minister at the time that he invited him that in deference to the English custom the had not provided any dinner.
第四篇:大学英语四级考试写作应试技巧
大学英语四级考试写作应试技巧
写作的评分依据是:文章切题,条理清楚,语言准确和字数符合要求。所谓切题就是看你写的作文是否跑题。所谓条理是指每一段的议论的正反清楚,说明的几个方面清楚,描述的时间正确。语言准确要求作文的语法词汇使用正确,符合英语表达习惯。四级作文的字数要求不少于120字。
一、审题
我们拿到作文后第一件事要做的就是审题。审题的作用在于使你的写作不跑题(如果跑题,条理和语言再好,也得不到及格分,甚至0分。)那么审题要审什么呢?
1. 体裁(议论文、说明文、描述文)
审题就是要审作文的体裁和题材。因为什么样的体裁就会用什么样的题材去写。那么体裁包括哪些呢?就四、六级考试而言,它包括议论文、说明文和描述文。从近些年来看,四、六级作文不是单一的体裁,而是几种体裁的杂合体。
例如有一次四级写作题是这样出的:
Directions: For this part, your are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Trying to Be A Good University Student.You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:
(1)做合格大学生的必要性
(2)做合格大学生的必备条件(可以从德智体等方面谈)
(3)我打算这样做
很多人说这种类型的作文是议论文。我们认为说它是议论文是片面的。因为第一段要求写 “...必要性”,这说明本段体裁是议论文;第二段要求写“...必备条件”,这说明本段要求写说明文;而第三段要求写“...这样做”,说明本段要求写的是描述文。所以我们说在大多数情况下,四、六级作文是三种体裁的杂合体。
2.根据不同体裁确定写作方法
我们审题的目的就在于根据不同的体裁来确定不同的写作方法。通过审题,我们可以看出四、六级作文大都是三段式。如上例第一段为议论体、第二段为说明体、第三段为描述体。议论体有议论体的写作方式、说明体有说明体的写作方式、描述体也有它自身的写作特点。
第一段为议论文:它的写作特点是要有论点和论据,而且往往从正反两面来论述。
例如上面题目的第一段的写作思路是:做合格大学生,会怎么样(这是从正面论述);不能做到合格大学生,会怎么样(从反面论述);所以我们要做合格的大学生(结论)。
第二段为说明文:它的写作特点是从几方面或几条来说明一个问题,就跟某一机器的说明书一样通过1、2、3说明它的用途。就以上面的作文而言,我们从三个方面(德智体)来说明做合格大学生的必要性。
第三段为描述文:以“人”为中心描述一个“做”的过程。跟上两段相比,本段的主语多为人称代词。它要与第二段相呼应进行描述。
二、主题句
确定主题句:通过审题,我们知道了写作的思路。下边我们就谈怎么样写。第一步就是要写主题句。主题句是确保不跑题的前提,只有不跑题才有可能得及格分。写主题句最保险的方法就是把各要求句译成英语。
例如上述作文的三段主题句分别为:
☆ It is very necessary to be a good university student.(议论体主题句)
☆ There are several respects of necessities to be a good university student.(说明体的主题句)
☆ What I will do in the future is the following.(描述体的主题句)
如果要求句是英语就可以把它扩充成主题句,例如这样的一篇作文:
Good Health
(1)Importance of good health
(2)Ways to keep fit
(3)My own practice
这样的作文的要求句就可以扩展成主题句。扩展后三段的主题句分别为:
☆ It is very important to have good health.(将名词importance 变成形容词 important)
☆ There are four ways to keep fit for me.(用 there be 句型)
☆ My own practices are the following.(采用原词)
三、条理
确保文章条理清楚:保证不跑题是写作当中第一重要任务,第二个重要任务就是条理清楚。对于议论文来说,正反面要清楚。对于说明文来说,1、2、3条要清楚,对于描述文来说,谁干什么要清楚。
就拿上例Good Health来说,第一段保持正反面要清楚就应这样写:主题句(It is very important to have good health.,正面(With good health, we can...),反面(Without good health, we can do nothing.We can't do...)
第二段应当这样写:主题句(There are four ways to keep fit.)从几方面说明:Firstly, we should have our breakfast in the morning.Second, we should have a nap at noon.Third, sports exercises are necessary in the afternoon.And fourth, we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to the music....)
为了使文章更具条理性,我们可以用first(ly),second(ly),third(ly)等副词,他们可以使文章的条理性十分突出。作文是主观性题,要想得高分我们必须把评卷老师考虑进去。评卷老师的时间很短(每份卷子的作文只有一两分钟就要阅完),所以我们在列条条时最好不用:To begin with,...After that,...And then,...The next,...The following,...At last...。因为用这样的词语不利于阅卷老师看出你作文的条理性。
第三段应当这样写:主题句(My own practices are the following.)具体情况(主语为第一人称代词I,与第二段呼应)In the morning, I have my breakfast.At noon, I have a nap.And in the afternoon, I always play football.In the evening, I usually listen to the classic music.
综上所述,如果我们按以上几节的方法去做,就可以保证及格以上分数。
四、十二句作文法
保证作文符合字数要求的十二句作文法:
在作文的评分标准中字数也是一个要求。
四、六级的作文要求是要写出120-150字。对于这样的要求考生不必怕写不够。考生的作文一定要达到字数,但不要写得太多,因为写得太多一方面暴露自己语言上的弱点,另一方面又会占用过多的时间。写得太多还易跑题,一个有效的方法就是十二句作文法。
我们知道,四、六级作文大都是三段式。我们算一下,如果我们在每一段中写上四句话,即主题句加两三句扩展句和一个结论句就可以了。这样全篇在十二句左右。每一句十多个词,这样就是120-150字。
在写作时,我们要横向写作,即写某一问题的横段面。
例如,上面讲到健康的重要性时,我们只写四句就可以了。第一句主题句,第二句从正面论述,第三句从反面论述,第四句为结论句。但有的同学在写的时候说“健康非常重要,”然后就写“吃波莱非常重要”,因为波菜含有丰富的铁,铁对人是非常重要的,因为...。这样的作文的基本模式是A-B B-C C-D D-E以此类推。这就叫流水账,没有中心。我们写作时要根据横段面去写,而不要写成流水账。避免写成流水账的方法是不要就前一句中的一个非重点词再进行描述。而要对主题句从横段面去写,写完一个横段面就不要再对这一横段面进行阐述了,应当去写别一个横段面。
如果我们感觉字数不够,就在每一句或某些句子上添加些词就行了。
例如我们感觉上边第二段不够长,就可以这样来加词:
主题句 There are four ways to keep fit.— There are four or more ways to keep fit for everyone of us.从几方面说明: Firstly, we should have our breakfast in the morning.— Firstly, we should have our breakfast, such as milk, eggs, bread and so on, in the morning.Second, we should have a nap at noon.— Secondly, we should have a short nap, even 30 minutes, at noon.Third, sports exercises are necessary in the afternoon.— Thirdly, sports exercises are necessary for everyone and we can do some sports exercises in the afternoon.And fourth, we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to music.— And fourthly, we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to both popular and classic music.这样一来,我们只要保持本句的主题不变,添加一些次要词就能达到字数的规定标准。
综上所述,我们在写作中最最重要的一点就是要有自己的观点和见解,一定要提出自己的观点来,有些同学一篇文章写下来,都不知道你的观点是什么,这样的文章是失败的。如果我们按以上几节的方法去做,就可以保证及格以上分数。
针对2010年12月的四级考试,建议大家论说文重点准备关于大学校园生活的话题,如学习、生活、社会工作、兼职打工等;应用文重点准备咨询信、投诉信、介绍信、请求信、建议信、道歉信、邀请信等私人和公务信函,以及开幕词、祝酒辞等致辞的写法。应用文在各式的书中都有很详细的介绍,在这里就不做说明了,关键就是格式。只要格式正确,基本上都可得满分。
四、六级超级作文模式
除了以上的方法之外,为了让大家更快地学会短文写作,我们将四、六级考试的作文归纳为以下几种类型,并且每种题型准备了一套相对固定的作文模式,我们将其称为超级作文模式,相信大家记住了下面的作文模式以后,会
有一番意外的收获。
1.对比观点型
Some people tend to think that 观点一。They point out that 理由一。Additionally,理由二。(A case in point is举例。)Therefore,小结。
On the contrary,other people hold the view that 观点二。They argue that 理由一。What’s more,理由二。(As an illustration,举例。)Accordingly,小结。
As far as I am concerned,I think 我的观点。The reason is that 理由一。And also,理由二。So,总结自己的观点。
2.说明利弊型
Whenever we hear people say that 主题,we’ll instantly have the idea that it is a good/bad thing/or 某人。Indeed,主题have advantages to 某人。We can take 举例 as an example.It will benefit 好处一。In addition,好处二。In the meantime,we must realize those disadvantages of 主题。First of all,坏处一。Second,坏处二。
To sum up the above arguments,I think a proper attitude towards 主题,is that 我的观点。
3.解决方法型
Nowadays,we have to face a problem that 问题。(Nowadays,more and more people are concerned about the problem 问题。/It is important for us to 问题。)For instance 例一。(First,原因一)Moreover,例二。(Second,原因二。)People have figured out many ways to solve the problem.(Confronted with 问题,we should take a series effective measures to cope with the situation.)Firstly,解决方法一。Secondly,解决方法二。
Personally,I believe that 我的方法。(To me,I am taking two ways to solve the problem of 问题。)One of them is 我的方法。The other way is 方法二。By now ways have been working perfectly and efficiently 结果。
4.阐述主题型
A famous saying goes that 名言或谚语。It means that 释义。
An example of this case is 举例。解释。
Another case in point is 例二。
I like the saying —— 名言,which encourages me 理由。
5.图表题
From the graph,we know the statistics of 图表概况。It can easily be seen that 揭示含义。
There are many reasons responsible for this instance,and the following are the typical ones.For one thing,理由一。In addition,理由二。The main reason is that 理由三。
However,this graph may not predict the entire situation in the future.I believe 前景预测。(Above all,we now know about the problem and we should try to find some ways to solve it。For one thing,方法一。For another thing,方法二。Still another,方法三。)
大学英语四级写作技巧
关联词的应用
在确定好一条条的扩展句后,怎样把这些句子流畅而连贯地组合在一起呢?这便是关联词发挥作用的时候了。在英语中,句与句之间、段与段之间一般都有连词或关联词连接,通过这些词读者能够很清楚地明白文章前后的逻辑联系。适当使用关联词是四级写作必备的技能,大家应该要引起特别重视。
常用的关联词分为五类:
1、列举类

列举类关联词有:
first(ly), second(ly),...finally;for one thing, for another;on the one hand, on the other hand;moreover;furthermore;what’s more;in addition;besides;first of all;in the first place, in the second place;(at)last;then;next;the last but not the least2、举例类

语言要规范化
长短句相结合字迹工整清晰:
写完之后检查
1.语言要规范化
写作过程中好多同学可能会先把中文写好再把中文翻译成英文,这对于一些程度比较差的同学来说,无疑是一种可取的办法,但是在翻译的过程中,切记不要用中式英语,比如:“man can live happiness”,“Man is iron, and food is steel.”, "Women are half side sky."。要多积累一些习惯短语和表达法,在翻译过程中尽可能多用模式化的句型,少一些逐字翻译。
2.长短句相结合同学们可能还有一个观点,就是在作文中,复杂句越多,得分就越高。诚然,英语写作是对一个人英语能力的考察,复杂句的使用能反映你对英文的掌握程度。但是如果你的作文中全是复杂句,这样会影响阅卷老师的阅读,读起来很烦很不自然,考试作文中一定要长短句结合。对于一些基础差的同学,如果你不能很好的把握复杂句,还是用简单句比较好,至少简单句你不会用错。
3.字迹工整清晰
字迹一定要工整,清晰,这是得高分的基础。一篇文章字迹的好坏有时候能起到决定性的作用。
4.写完之后检查
作文写完之后的检查。a,就是对整个文章结构的检查。对于自己写的文章,一定要把结构搞清楚,要想到别人阅读你的文章时,要一眼就能找到你的中心句,看出你文章论证的结构。b,语言错误。请一定避免简单但严重的错误。比如:单复数、主谓一致、时态、搭配和简单词的拼写。记得简单无误是写作的第一准则。
