第一篇:全国公共英语三级考试作文概述及辅导
2010年全国公共英语三级考试作文概述及经典辅导
本文重点给大家讲讲PETS三级作文的应试技巧。
一、PETS三级作文概述(含A、B两节)
三级写作由A、B两节组成,考查考生的书面表达能力。
A节:考生根据所给情景(英/中文)写出约100词(不计算标点符号)的简单信件、便笺等。考查写作信件、通告、便条等简单应用文的能力,包括应用文的固定格式、如信件的称呼、署名、结尾套语等。分值为10分。
B节:考生根据所给情景,写出一篇不少于120词(不计算标点符号)的文章。提供情景的形式有图画、图表、文字等。考查写说明性或议论性文章的能力。分值为20分。
二、应用文写作
三级A节主要考查考生应用文写作的能力。在应用文中又主要考查书信、通知和便条三种,下面分别介绍这三种文体的写作。
(一)书信
书信分为公函和私函。二者主要区别在对象和内容。前者如资讯信、推荐信,后者如问候信、邀请信。书信的构成一般为:
1.Heading(信头):信头是指发信人的单位名称、地址、电话号码、电报挂号等,以及发信日期。发信人的名称和地址等应写在信纸的右上角,即在日期的上边。日期也可以写在信纸后的签名下边。
2.Inside Address(信内地址(这部分只应用于正式商业书信)):信内地址是收信人的地址包括姓名、职务、公司名称、街道名称或信箱号、城市、州或省、邮政编码和国家。信内地址通常写在左手边,在日期线和称呼之间。
3.Salutation(称呼):称呼一般低于信内地址两行,与之平齐。一般在人名前加上dear并冠以尊称,具体如下:
(1)Mr.(Mister),用于无职衔的男子。
(2)Mrs.(Mistress),用于已婚女子。
(3)Miss 用于未婚女子。
(4)Misses(Miss的复数),用于复数未婚女子。
(5)Dr.(Doctor),用于博士。
(6)Pro.(Professor),用于大学教授。
(7)Ms.用于女士通称。
4.Body of Letter(信的正文):正文内容一般包括下面几点:写信人身份,写信事由,写信的理由,写信的目的。考场书信一般讲究简单准确,不需辞藻华丽。
5.Comp1imentary Close(结束语):信尾问候语是写在信尾的告别话语,例如“Sincerely”,“Sincerely yours”。通常位于正文两三行以下。第一个单词的第一个字母要大写,最后以逗号结尾。
6.Signature(签名):写信人的签名、名字和头衔(如果适用),写在信尾问候语同侧三四行以下的位置。
7.Postscript(附言):附言用来说明没有包括在信中的想法和内容。通常在附注下两三行的地方,从左侧顶格写起。在促销和私人信件中,附言也可以用来强调写信人请求收信人采取的行动和做出的考虑。
书信写作是PETS三级应用文写作的重中之重,考试机率很大。下面再从往年考生暴露出来的问题谈谈书信写作应注意的几个方面:
1.明确试题要求
一般来讲,应用作文试题会在字数、话题、情景和作者身份等方面提出要求。考生应认真读,积极构思,确定文章所要表现的主题。
2.确定读者
应用文写作要求在写作之前明确读者身份,根据情景,根据自己与虚拟读者的关系确定文章的语气和措辞。
3.注意格式
PETS三级的应用文写作多以信函为主。因此应熟悉信函的格式。主要是信头、称呼、结尾。
4.用词得当、语法准确、标点拼写无误
写作完毕要认真 检查,避免有关语法、拼写和标点的错误。
(二)通知
通知是上级对下级、组织对成员或平行单位之间部署工作、传达事情或召开会议等所使用的应用文。通知的写法有两种,一种是以布告形式贴出,把事情通知有关人员,如学生、观众等,通常不用称呼;另一种是以书信的形式,发给有关人员,次种通知写作形式同普通书信,只要写明通知的具体内容即可。通知要求言简意赅、措辞得当、时间及时
布告形式的通知:通常此类通知上方正中写Notice或NOTICE(通知),发出通知的单位的具体名称可放在正文前,也可放在正文后,右下角处,发出通知的日期写在左下角处。书信形式的通知格式和一般书信类似。
(三)便条
便条其实是简单化的书信。在格式和内容上都比书信简单。一般不需要写发信人的地址,因为彼此都比较熟悉。所以,对收件人的称呼语也比较自由,语言更接近口语。结尾的落款和客套话也常常省略。
三、短文写作
写作的B节要求根据所给情景,写出一篇不少于120字的文章。情景主要是图表、数据或图画。考试中,最多出现的是图表写作与图画写作两种,下面分别介绍。
(一)图表写作
图表写作往往是用数据或比例来表示相关因素的相互关系和变化规律,从而说明一定的道理。常见的图表有:表格、扇形图、线性图、条形图和柱形图。图标写作应注意以下几个方面:
1.仔细看图,全面领会图表中的信息。
2.根据题目的要求,认真分析图表中的信息,得出结论,构思文章的整体布局。
3.严格按照题目要求写作。
4.引用图标数据要有针对性。
要写好图表作文,应该熟悉图表写作的常用句型,这样既能节约时间,又可以使文章显得较专业。下面给出图表概述或描述中常用的句型:
1.As is shown by the graph, „„(概述图表)/in the table.2.It can be seen from the table that „„(得出结论)
shown graph/concluded figures/estimated statistics
3.„ amount to „„(数量总计)/add up to/come to /sum up to
4.„ increase from „ to „(数量增减)
decrease/rise/fall /drop
5.(be)three times as + 形容词 + as
总产量 total output
钢的年产量 the annual output of
上升17% rise by 17 per cent steel
日产量 the daily output
导致产量下降 result in a diminished output
6.Compared with „ ,(作比较)
7.There is(was)a rapid rise in „ be on the rise/has
been sharp increase on the increase/sudden decrease
on the decline/steady decline/gradual fall/slow drop
(二)图画写作
图画写作就是通过图画提供的图象信息写一篇短文,包括叙述一故事,或通过几幅相关的图画说明某个问题或得出结论。书面表达试题要求考生从图像信息中分辨或综合作文主题的层次,然后写出不少于120字的短文。就看图作文内容而言,是要求考生写出观察到的背景,也可以借助想象力适当地进行发挥来补充一些内容;从看图作文的表达方式看,此类作文可以单纯地理解、说明、也可以在说明中加以描写、叙述,另外还可以将图画中的内容改编成故事。
看图作文不仅考查考生对图形的观察力和想象力,而且也考查考生分析能力、概括能力。做好看图作文试题其实不难,考生在平时一定要读一些范文,学习范文写作的套路。看图作文的写作步骤:
1.认真审题,理解图画中的主题、梗概。
看图作文的第一步应该是“看图”,根据题目要求认真、细心地观看图画,看看图中都有什么。包括人物及人物的动作、行为、装饰、表情和与他们有联系的物品及物品的形态、位置、大小,画的背景等。
2.罗列写作大纲。
在图画写作中,写作大纲十分重要,它可以帮你防止遗漏写作要点,又能帮助合理分配和利用时间。
3.增加细节、连续成文。
在大纲的基础上添枝加叶,润色成文。注意写完后同样要进行仔细的 检查,看有无语法、拼写、标点错误。
四、总结
上面介绍了两大类型——应用文和看图作文——的写作需要注意的问题和一些技巧,事实上,在考试中考生总会出现这样那样的问题,导致作文的不理想,而在总结作文不理想的原因时,及时发现问题并解决问题,对写好作文有很大帮助。下面总结一下作文不理想的几大常见原因:
第一、英语底子太薄。底子太薄主要表现为对语法知识掌握不牢及对基本 词汇 记忆不清。它包括定冠词和不定冠词的滥用,主谓不一致,单复数搞不清楚(例如:a people等),时态和语态混乱及词语的各种形式掌握不牢。有的考生文章写得很长,字迹也很工整,但是读完之后只觉得思路紊乱,支离破碎,没有一个完整的句子,所以也就只能得两三分以慰劳苦。
第二、词汇量太小,且对已学词汇记忆不清。除了底子太薄这个原因之外,考生词汇量太小也是一个不容忽视的原因。有的考生汉语功底很好,用汉语作文,他们就会思如泉涌,下笔千言,但是一到用英语作文就好像被缚住了手脚,不知如何下手。比另外有的考生虽然对题目及要求非常清楚,但是因为自己所掌握的词汇所限,无法用一些合适的词来表达自己的 思想,于是只有绕着题目翻来覆去乱说一气。词汇的有限导致许多考生有口难言,欲说不能,对他们来说,用英语作文实在是一件很头疼的事情
第三、缺乏 思想,深度不够。很多考生写出的文章着眼点低,视野狭窄。举出来的例子是范围太窄,大多是讲老板或领导让干的事只能答 “Yes”而不能回答 “No”。其实除了这些,可举的例子很多,关键是要抓住实质。
第四、缺乏应试技巧。主要表现为有些考生在篇首或篇尾有喊口号倾向(如Dear friends, let‘s not hesitate to say “No”),或画蛇添足,本来文章该结束了却偏要罗罗嗦嗦再来两句多余的话;另外一些考生字数把握不准,不是写得太短就是写得太长,写得太短的会因为字数不够而失分,太长的又因为阅卷老师任务繁重,时间窘迫,不能因为一篇文章乱了整个阅卷节奏。还有一些考生的笔迹(尤其是用纯蓝墨水钢笔和出水太浅的圆珠笔写的),让阅卷老师怎么也看不清楚。
以上是 PETS 三级英语考试中常见的几个问题。要写好一篇英语文章,关键要在平时下功夫,打好牢固的基础,但是如果这一功夫在使用的时候不讲技巧,不但不能事半功倍地发挥出最高技巧,取得最佳成绩,甚至可能出现与实际水平相去甚远的低成绩。因此,上面讲到的四个问题应该是相辅相成,缺一不可的,做到了这几点,写出好的作文应该是不难的。

公共英语三级考试写作辅导_PETS3议论文和提纲式作文写作模板PETS考试借鉴了雅思的基本模式,PETS三级、四级考试中往往会考应用文写作和议论文大作文。应用文写作格式不正确是很多同学失分的最主要原因。应用文写作程式化强,考生可以提前背诵一些应用文写作的基本句型,积累有关句型句式,注意应用文写作中的套话。应用文写作常考信件写作,如辞职信、投诉信、感谢信、表扬信、会议 MEMO等都是考生应重点把握的。以下分别介绍:

Most young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering.These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment.Why are men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains?

SectionⅡ Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)
Part A
Directions:
Read the following three texts.Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text I
Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then.It wasn’t easy getting hired.But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement.For 15 years I had prospered there — moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor.I would have a lifetime of security is I struck with it.Instead, I had made a decision to leave.I entered my boss’s office.Would he rage? I wondered.He had a famous temper.“Matt, we have to have a talk,” I began awkwardly.“I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four.Now I’m forty.There’s a lot I want to do in life.I’m resigning.” “To another paper?” he asked.I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything.I handed him a letter that explained everything.It said that I was leaving to start a new media company.We were at a rare turning point in history.I wanted to be directly engaged in the change.“I’m glad for you,” he said, quite out of my expectation.“I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news.Some of that we can deal with.But much of it we can’t, ” he went on.“I wish you all the luck in the world,” he concluded.“And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here.”
Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes.Everybody was saying congratulations.Everybody — even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe.He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property.“I’m resigning, Bill, ”I said.He listened while I gave him the story.He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed either.After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.”

[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters

Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when your labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”.That’s true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak.For some people the peak comes during the forenoon.For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter!You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit if better.Habit can help, Dr.Kleitman believes.Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour.This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor.Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.51.If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.[A] he is a lazy person.[ B ] he refuses to follow his own energy cycle.[C] he is not sure when his energy is low.[D] he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening.52.Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
[AJ Unawareness of energy cycles.[B] Familiar monologues.[C]A change in a family member’s energy cycle.[D] Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.53.If one wants to work efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should __________.[A]change his energy cycle [B] overcome his laziness [C]get up earlier than usual [D] go to bed earlier 54.You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will __________.[A] help to keep your energy for the day’s work.[B] help you to control your temper early in the day [C] enable you to concentrate on your routine work [D] keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day 55.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
[A] Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.[B] Dr.Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.[C] Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.[D] Children have energy cycles, too.Text 3
There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic.At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide.On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic.In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution.Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels(coal and oil)is creating a “greenhouse effect”— conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature.If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature — a result that would be equally disastrous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would mane agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen(though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible)Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now.Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”.Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development.But is it really worthwhile?
56.As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _______.[ A ] cause widespread damage in the countryside
[ B ] affected the entire eastern half of the United States
[ C ] had damaged effect on health
[ D ] existed merely in urban and industries areas
57.As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.[ A ] share the same view with the scientist.[ B ] is uncertain of its occurrence [ C ] rejects it as being ungrounded [ D ] thinks that it will destroy the world soon
58.The word “offset” in the second paragraph could be replaced by _________.[ A] slip into [ B ] make up for
[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with
59.It can be concluded that ____________.[ A ] raising the world's temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth.[ B] lowering the world's temperature merely a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[C] almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade.[D] the world's temperature will remain constant in the years to come.60.This passage is primarily about __________.[A]the greenhouse effect„„ [ B ] the burning of fossil fuels„„ [C] the potential effect of air pollution.[ D] the likelihood of a new ice age.Part B Directions: Read the following article in which five people talk about their ideas of dieting.For questions 61 to 65 ,-match name of each speaker to one of the statements(A to C)given below.Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Abbey
You can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces.They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food.They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom.They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins.What a miserable lot dieters are!
Marlin
I began making some dietary and lifestyles changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since.I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them.I have much more energy;I need less sleep;I feel calmer;I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly.Maggie
During my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin.For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college.Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great!People say all the time, “Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?” and I say, “You just don't.It' s not even an option.It's not that hard once you get on it.”
Belinda
If you are on a diet, you're always hungry.You can't be hungry and happy at the same time.All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied.A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak.So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation.How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice!And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting.Then things will turn out to be even worse.Wood
I went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high.Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight.Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted.I don't feel I've lost something after dieting.Instead, I've got something valuable.That is good health.Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements
61.Abbey [A] Being on a diet is a torture.62.Marlin [ B] I feel better with vegetarian food.63.Maggie [C] I lost weight after dieting.[ D] I began dieting for the sake of health.64.Belinda [E] Dieting enables people to enjoy life more.65.Wood [F] Dieting simply causes endless worries.[ G] Dieting does more harm than good to one' s health.Section IV Writing(40 minutes)

Try to keep sentences shorter than 20 words and use paragraphs to structure your message.确保每句话在20个单词以下,用分段来组织你的信息。
Avoid cliches and legalese.These two are overused in business texts.Some of these phrases do not add anything to your message and can be omitted.避免陈词滥调和法律术语。这两种词在商务文件里被用得太多了。那些不能给你的信息带来任何新的东西的词可以省略掉。
