2006年英语专业八级满分作文
Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision.It provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our life.Just as Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer put it, “And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated.This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life.First things first, ambition renders us a sense of mission.No matter what decision you make you have to be responsible for your choice.Your choice procures you a sense of orientation, or more specially a sense of mission.And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness.Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered.” And became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome.John Milton, stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which England would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature.In the second place, ambition can bring one’s potentials to the full.Ambition may well serve as a catalyst activating one’s dormant potentials.Without ambition one’s potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano.A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Helen Keller.It was her ambition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon.Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction.If wrongly directed, one’s ambition may bring havoc on him and others.Hitler, whose ambition was to conquer Europe by whatever evil means, finally turned him into a demon.It was this demon that almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering.Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland.However, his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan.Consequently, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom.To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves.A poet says: life can be bad;life can be good;life can be dirty;life can be sad,;life can even be painful.In my mind’s eye, a person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-orientated ambition

考研英语小作文和大作文备考经验谈
作文历来是研究生入学考试的重中之重,每年都有无数考研英豪难过英语关,从而与成功一步之遥,失之交臂。在名目繁多的辅导机构的海报满天飞与媒体炒作日渐升温时,如何一方面保持清醒的头脑,一方面找到适合自己并且针对行之有效的学习方法,才是真正关键的问题。本文将重点给各位网友讲讲考研英语小作文、大作文的备考技巧经验。
一、应用文(小作文)
应用文写作要求考生在三个方面完成要求:一要注意把握信息点;第二是把握语言点,内容要十分明确,不要出现过多的错误;第三是要注意格式和语言。一是掌握格式的线条,主要是掌握两种大的文类,一个是正式文体,一个是非正式文体。如果应用文涉及的是商务或者公务之类较正式的东西,那么语言表达的时候也得注意格式和书面化、规范化;如果要求写便条给朋友的话,就应当用主语化的表达方式。
这几个方面注意了,就可以很大地缓解难度。应用文的字数要求是100个字,大概8句话,8句话怎么分配呢?第一段就写一句话,第一句话表明你写信的基本内容:如果是询问信息的话,就说你写这封信要询问以下几个问题;如果是投诉,就说写这封信是要表达对什么东西的不满;如果是请求信,就说写这封信想要请求什么东西就可以了。总之,就一句话,简明扼要。然后,用简练的语言表达清楚题目要求表达的内容和信息。最后一句话,就是一个礼貌的结尾。
二、大作文
大作文的写作一般会给考生写作提纲,或图表、图画,或图文并茂。命题方式虽然多样,但题目涉及面往往是考生比较熟悉的内容,目的是测定考生语言的实际应用能力。要求表达清楚,文字连贯,中心突出,内容丰富,句式多变,句子结构和用词正确。
语言的应用能力不可能一蹴而就,必须厚积薄发,必须经过长期的实践锻炼。如何提高英语写作能力呢?一是要背大量的优秀范文,整段整篇地背,并转换为自己的语言,写作时才能随心所欲地支配。考试时避免套用以前死记硬背的几个范文,把一些词不达意的词堆积在一起,没有统一性,无法很好地表现主题。
二是要多动手。包括对背过的文章进行词语替换、句式转换、句子重组等,以及对某一主题展开写作。多动手才能提高笔下功夫,才能保证在考场上顺利写作。可以说背诵范文是培养语感、积累素材、掌握写作方法的途径,动手写作则是实践,是最终目的,这两者结合起来,就是“理论联系了实际”。另外,背诵范文应有针对性,写作训练也是一样,在训练中要掌握每一类型作文的写作规律,根据其写作特点(如提纲式作文就要求考生根据提纲提示的思路和规定的要点展开段落)进行全面训练。但是,注意不要带有押题的心理,靠背几篇范文就能应付考试的心态是不可取的。很多高分考生认为,背诵《新概念英语》第三册,熟练掌握其中的各种表达方式,并坚持每天进行英语随笔练习,对于提高英语写作能力十分有益。
三、应试技巧
1、认真审题
作文第一步是仔细审题,考生要仔细阅读试题要求及相关信息,如图表、图画、数字等,准确把握出题者意图。考研作文忌信手拈来,提笔就写,根本不审题,想到哪儿就写到哪儿,或完全凭自己想象编故事,置考试要求于不顾,“下笔千言,离题万里”。比如1998年考研作文是一幅卡通画,老母鸡申明外加一首打油诗,讽刺一些企业把该尽职之事作为推销产品的承诺。2000年的作文“a brief history of world commercial fishing”,它给出了两张图,从1900年的渔船和鱼量之比到1995年的渔船和鱼量之比的变化谈如何保护渔业资源,应从商业性滥捕鱼这一主题展开话题,有的考生却大谈环境污染。这就偏离了主题,因为题中自始至终都没有谈到环境污染问题。
有的同学没有审题习惯,或担心时间不够草草审题,最后文不对题,草草收场,这必然会影响英语成绩,同时也会影响后两门考试的心情。
2、列出提纲
考试规定的时间是很有限的,所以不能花太多时间准备一个详细的提纲,但关键词提纲或粗略提纲还是非常有必要的。对原始材料分析归纳后要形成一个基本的框架。文章打算分几段写,每段大概怎样写,字数控制在多少,开头段落是道破主题、点明要旨、引人入胜还是先给出主题一般的背景情况和对主题进行浓缩的陈述,中间段落和结尾又怎样写,等等,这些都要心中有数。有的考生习惯用汉语构思文章,逐句翻译提纲,当碰到某个词卡住时就翻译不下去,僵在那里。要注意列提纲是为了更好更全面地表达主题。主题的表达可有多种形式,不一定非要寻找一个特定的词或句子。考试时考生要充分调动大脑,灵活运用以前所学知识。
3、开始写作
一篇文章往往由四部分组成:标题(title),首段(opening paragraph),主体(body paragraph),结尾段(concluding paragraph)。标题要新颖,能引起读者兴趣。首段的内容根据文章的体裁而变化:比如议论文可以从一种现象、一种观点出发引出作者的观点,记叙文往往交代人物和故事背景。主体是文章的主要部分,通过合适的语篇模式表达一定的观点,考生要围绕中心按一定顺序分层次有重点地展开叙述、描写和议论。结尾段是对全文的总结,论点上要与前面的叙述保持一致

谈英语作文的“写”与“作”
绝大多数的英语学习者,一想到写英语作文,就会头“大”。他们常常苦思冥想,然后草草而就,只求按时“交差”,别的就顾不上了。这种状态下炮制出来的“大作”,其质量可想而知。
对初学者而言,一篇英语作文的过程,至少应该包括两个阶段,“写”与“作”。
所谓“写”的过程应该与中文写作没有很大区别,无非是扣题,构思,表述。惟一要特别注意的是,我们写英语作文时,一般要求的字数比较少,所以我们在文章的结构上更须注意突出重点,集中火力。在非重点部分,不要随便发挥,而应该尽量直奔主题。以本次征文比赛为例,题目是The English Teacher I Admire Most,那么文章的重点应该是讲述why I admire him/her,what is so special about him/her,what I see in him/her,what has made him/her such a wonderful teacher等等,你可以状貌,但主要应该是“写神”,状貌应该简短,应该只起铺垫的作用。写这篇文章当然离不开叙事,全文可能叙述一件或多件事,那么这一件或多件事各自所占的分量应该有分寸,使整篇文章保持平衡。叙事时应该直奔主旨。英语写作的传统非常注重所谓的topic sentence——能够统摄全文或者全段的句子。这个句子最好出现在文章的开头,然后在文章的结尾处用不同的表述呼应这个句子。例如,有一篇应征例文的第一句是这样的:She takes us into the magical English world。这就是一个非常有力的topic sentence。这一个句子就足可吸引读者,让读者相信作者心中对她确实有一种毫无保留甚或“五体投地”的admiration,接下来就会有兴趣了解她究竟有怎样的magic power,让学生如此着迷。这篇文章的结句是her charisma(魅力)is unbelievable,非常有力度,charisma与unbelievable两个词巧妙地呼应了magic这个词。文章需要topic sentence,每个段落最好也要有这样非常powerful的topic sentence。构思完成以后,就是落笔表述的过程。这个过程应该迅速,最好能够一气呼成,不要过多地顾忌是否犯了语法错误,或者表述是否清楚。不要犹犹豫豫,一步三回头,因为在完成了
“写”以后,你还有一个“作”的过程。所谓“作”,就是“精雕细作”。英语初学者常常觉得自己“眼高手低”,想表述的意思难以成文,本来很精致的“意”却表现为颇为笨拙的“文”。这当然与我们掌握的词汇有限相关。但是,我们有限的词汇与表达,经过适当的调度与搭配,还是可以“作”出好文章来的。
我们在写完初稿以后,不妨让自己的好友读一下,看看他是否明白文章的每一个句子。因为作者自己常常把想到而没有表述出来的信息也read into the article,因此不容易发现表述不清的问题。
处理完了表述问题以后,就进入“深加工”阶段。英语写作最强调韵律感,即使是高深的学术文章,读起来常常也会很有“乐感”。这种“乐感”主要来自于句子结构的变化与组合。简而言之,就是长短结合,错落有致。英语的句子结构变化比较多,但我们在写作时受汉语的影响很深,写出的句子常常整齐划一,缺少变化。我们在加工时,就要有意地想:某几个简单句能加工成一个复合句或者复杂句;我们的每一个句子的主语是否都是“人”(从头到尾都是he或者we),是否可以用一个抽象名词或者一个ing结构来充当其中某些句子的主语,以此构成主语的变化;在一个“意群”中,是否每个句子都是以主语开始;是否每个句子的谓语动词都是简单的一个动词,能否把其中的某一个或几个改成词组;能否构成一个又一个“短句+长句+短句”的意群组合;对于每一个表述,都可以想一下,这种表述是否太中文化,英语是否有更简单的表达。
某个大诗人曾经说过:诗是“写”出来的,而不应该是“作”出来的。但对我们英语初学者而言,在练习时,还是应该一次又一次地、有意识地经历这样的“作”的过程。“作”多了,方能在“临战”时潇洒地“写”。(作者:梁凯文,华东师大英语系副教授)
英语写作中的“结构重组”问题 各类考试中英语写作虽有模板可循,究其实质,仍是汉译英。任何一名考生在英语写作中,难逃“汉译英”的逻辑套路,所走思路一般为先胸中形成汉语意思,再将汉语意思转换为英文,即便英语素养较高的考生,在两者转换过程中没有时间差,出手即英文也是不太可能的。就在这一转换过程中,尽显英雄本色,英语英雄者,妙笔生花,出手不凡;英语笨拙者,最后只能造出个不中不洋的拙劣句子。我们可以给汉译英一个重新定位:包含所有语言信息的一种结构再造。具体说来就是面对一句中文,翻译时要打乱原有语序和结构,自行设计,重组语言信息,无限靠近原汁原味的英语,姑且将这种方法称之为“结构重组”。这一点是基于这么一个事实:英语跟中文的语序和结构不尽一样。下面举例说明:
(1)简单句类(所谓简单句,即是含有一个动词的句子)
看一例:他嗓门大。最容易翻译成:His voice is loud.评语:超级直白
而更好的翻译是:He has a loud voice.其实就成了 他有一个大嗓门。如果第一步便翻译成he has a loud voice,恭喜,你就被归入少数具备英语思维的高手类了,就这么简单。
对策:多多积攒类似例句,然后多多模仿。
试一个:她身材好,便可翻译成:She has a good figure.(2)复杂句类
看一例:我抬头一看,只见一群衣衫褴褛的孩子,默默无声得站于四周,观看着我俩进餐。
按照原文语序很容易翻成:I looked up and saw that a group of children in rags surrounding us silently and seeing us eating dinner.评语:直白,动词堆砌,不流畅。
先准备语言信息:抬头一看:look up;衣衫褴褛的孩子:children in rags;默默:silently;观看:look at。最后范文是:Looking up, I saw that we were surrounded by children in rags who were looking at us as we ate.(新概念3 第48课line35-36)
分析:范文用到了现在分词作伴随状语(looking up,),主动意思由被动形式表达,(were surrounded by)并设计出一个定语从句来(who were looking at us as we ate)原文中看不出来定语(….的)痕迹。
对策,含有多个动词的句子,将动词进行主次区分,次要动词非谓语化,主要动词谓语化,附带从句设计,定语从句首当其冲现行被考虑。
总之,写句子时,不要立马下手,凝神定气,多三思,在结构安排上有所建树和创新,大胆
将信息重组,结构优化,力图写出地道的英文句子,这是个长期的功夫。
最后建议学员可将新概念2,3 册拿来做汉译英的练习,将每篇课文的中文译文试着翻译成英文,再与原文对照,个中差距,一对照即晓个清楚。
怎样获得英语专业四级考试写作高分
(一)写作题的性质
写作是人们表达思想的一种重要手段,我们称之为comprehensive test的综合测试,体现的是学生综合运用语言的能力。因为它不仅考核考生对词汇的掌握、对语法的应用,同时也考查了学生的表达能力、思维的逻辑性和条理性。我们知道,学习英语需掌握四种技能:听、说、读、写。听和读是语言的input(输入)过程,因而对于听力和阅读的测试是考查学习者的被动英文技能;说和写是语言的output(输出)过程,对于口语和写作的测试则是考查学习者的主动英文技能。学习者的被动英文水平往往高于主动英文水平,因此听力理解材料的难度往往大于口语的内容,阅读理解材料的难度往往要大于写作。由此可见,在经过两年基础专业课的学习后,学习者应该将重点放在把被动英文水平转化成主动英文水平上。一旦我们的大脑有了大量的语言输出之后,就能达到出口成章、下笔有神的境界。
(二)英语专业四级写作要求
(1)能根据各种不同的听读材料笔头回答问题,复述内容写摘要、写提纲和记笔记。
(2)能根据题目列出写作提纲,在一小时内写出200~250词的短文。
以上均要求做到内容完整、条理清楚,语法基本正确,语言通顺恰当。
(3)能写一般的书信、通知、便条、请帖,填写简单的表格,格式正确,语言得体。
写作课培养学生初步写作能力,包括提纲、文章摘要、短文以及最简单的常用应用文。
(三)考试大纲对英语专业写作的要求和规定
(1)测试目的:按照英语专业基础阶段英语教学大纲的要求,检查学生在基础阶 段末期的英语写作能力。
(2)题型:主观试题,分为Section A和Section B两个部分。
Section A: Composition写作文
Section B: Note-writing写便条
(3)测试要求:
a)作文。要求根据所给的题目和列出的写作提纲或图表、数字统计表等(也附有写作提纲)写一篇150词的短文,能做到内容切题、完整,条理清楚,文章结构严谨,语法正确,语言通顺恰当。作文的类别有说明文、议论文或记叙文。考试时间为35分钟。
b)便条。要求根据提示写大约50~60词的便条、通知、请帖等。要求做到格式正确,语言得体。考试时间为10分钟。
(四)英语专业四级写作的评分标准
1.作文的评分标准
(1)文章内容切题、丰富,文章通顺,表达清楚。
(2)行文流畅。
(3)组织严密,逻辑性强。
(4)句型多样化,句法结构正确。
(5)用词得体、恰当、丰富。
(6)语法正确。
(7)拼写及标点正确,书写整洁。
(五)高分密招
很多学习者翻开作文书籍,就如同想打开一本武功秘籍,只希望看到5个字母trick(技巧)。技巧固然十分重要,但在应试准备中,常常需要70%的基础和30%的技巧。这里要提醒 大家的是,不可高估技巧的作用,犹如在武打片中,要想得到某某宝典和剑法,是需要付出惨痛的代价的。
1.在考场中,常常感到无话可说,该怎么办? 的确,在考场中有些考生由于紧张,常常会出现大脑一片空白,在10分钟之内动不了笔。对于这种在考场中思维短路的现象,有两种对策。
对策一:逆向思维法。考生在拿到一个作文话题、但不知该如何动笔时,可以去联想有关该 话题的具体事件,从具体事件中提炼出观点,再将观点反弹回去,即topic具体事件观点。例如看到The Advantage and Disadvantage of TV这个文章题目时,如果不知如何下笔,可以去联想一些具体的电视节目。一提到电视节目,就会自然而然地想到《新闻联播》。《新闻联播》有哪些好处呢?当然是开拓视野,了解世界。同时,还会联想到一些暴力片和色情片,它们对儿童的身心健康发展不利。
对策二:正说反说法。考生在写作中感到观点空洞茫然,不易理论清楚,甚至不知从何谈起时,可以从正、反两个方面对议题进行“摆事实,讲道理”,即“如果这样,就会怎么样; 如果不这样,又会怎么样”。
2.在写作中,遇到不会表达的词语该怎么办?
对于母语是中文的学习者,其中文词汇量往往大于英文词汇量,在英文写作中遇到不能表 达的词语是最正常不过的事情了。但有的考生在遇到不会拼写的单词时,往往绞尽脑汁,冥思苦想,结果造成思维短路,得不偿失。其实,对于这种情况,也有两种对策。
对策一:用其近义词代替。
如在写Student Use of Computer这篇作文时,很多同学以“在 最近10年里,学生使用电脑的小时数一直在增加”这句话来开头。“10年”可以用decade表 示,“增加”可以用ascend表示。但是不知道这两个词或对于它们的拼写没有把握时,可用 其近义词表示,如“10年”直接用ten years就可以,“增加”还可用increase, go up, rise, grow, jump, climb等。在这个时候,考生必须遵守“宁为瓦全,不可玉碎”的原则。这就要求在平时注意多收集一些同义词。如在每一篇作文中都会用到的一个单词“认为”,英文中有很多单词来表达此义,如think, agree, claim, maintain, argue, believe, h old, suggest, view…as, regard…as, consider…(as)。又如另一个单词“目前,最近”,可用nowadays, these years, recently, lately, currently, at present。此外,同义词的收集与运用有助于考生在写作中用词多样化。
对策二:当考生在写作中,既找不到该词 的近义词,又不能用解释性的语言进行阐述时,考生可以考虑用其上义词或下义词来代替。
上义词是对事物的概括性、抽象性说明;下义词是事物的具体表现形式。如Owing a Car这 篇文章谈到拥有汽车的弊端,其中有一点是汽车会排放出一氧化碳(carbon oxide)和二氧化 碳(carbon dioxide),对空气造成污染。当然,如果不知道如何拼写,更不知该如何去 释义一氧化碳和二氧化碳时,可以用它们的上义词poisonous gases来表示,因为不 论是一氧化碳还是二氧化碳都是有毒气体。又如Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus(大学生该如何走出校园了解世界),提纲的第二点要求是大学生了解社会的途径(大众媒体、社会服务等)。“大众媒体”为mass media,“社会服务”为social service。如果考生不会表达,但是在提纲里又明确规定不能不写时,可以用其下义词来代替。大众媒 体的具体表现形式是TV,radio, newspaper, internet;社会服务的具体表现形式则为par t|time job, tutoring等。因而,考生在写作中遇到不会表达的单词时,应该沉着冷静,考虑用其近义词、上义词或下义词来代替。
如何给阅卷老师留下美好的第一印象
要想作文获得高分,显而易见就是要给阅卷老师留下美好的印象。老师们的阅卷过程是郁闷枯燥的。使自己的文章在大约1分钟的阅读时间内,迅速地在他们的脑海中形成较多的兴奋点,是至关重要的。
首先,作文的写作时间为35分钟,合理的时间安排为10+20+5,前面的10分钟用来读题审题,构思并列提纲,接着的20分钟用来按照提纲写作,最后5分钟用来检查及润色。合理的时 间安排是写出优秀 作文的必不可少的第一步。
其次,卷面的设置。要想让阅卷老师对你的作文试卷有一种赏心悦目的感觉,作文的排版应该不多于2/3,不少于1/3,要留有余地,不要将卷面写得密密麻麻。字体不要过大或过小。字迹要工整。段落方面,英语专业四级考试作文的特点决定了作文写法的基本框架为三段论。俗话说,事不过三,超过了三段后就会让人感到过于繁琐。并且应当注意的是,每段开头都应该有缩进,留有两个单词的位置。
再次,除了形式之外,作文 的内容也尤其重要。阅卷老师阅卷一般是从第一段看语言,从第二段看结构。这就要求考生 的作文开头部分以及每一段的第一句一定要写得像英文,不要出现任何的拼写或语法错误。除了语言的地道外,还要求作文有层次感。可以用一系列表示逻辑关系的连词,即路标 词来表示思路的清晰,如and, however, furthermore,also, what"s more等。此外,还可 以用对等的句式结构,如for one thing, for another; On the one hand, on the other hand等来增加文章的层次感。总之,议论文对语言的要求主要体现在三个方面:①用 恰当的逻辑词表现文章的逻辑性。②要注意自然段与主题句的运用,即用自然段表现出文章 的逻辑性,并在每段中用主题句说明要点,给人一目了然的感觉。③要注意句型结构,注意 每句的重心和句与句之间的衔接,使句意一环扣一环,避免松散。
便条的写作
便条是一种简单的书信形式。要求学生仔细阅读和分析所给的情景,确定便条所涉及的内容,如写便条者与便条接收者的身份、两者之间的关系及情景的正式程度等。便条的特点在于内容简短,大多是临时性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。与正规书信相比,便条的语言更为口语化。有急事需告诉别人而又不能面谈时,就可以写便条,如请假条、留言条等。一般不写地址,与普通书信基本相同。结尾时也无需要结尾礼词,只需要写上便条者姓名。便条的日期一般只要写上星期几,也可以写明上午、下午的具体时间。便条具有用途广泛、形式简单、文字要求不十分严格的特点。
Should higher education be available to all students or only to good students? TOPIC:
Some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all students.Others believe that higher education should be available only to good students.Discuss these views.Which view do you agree with? Explain why.Some people believe that only good students should have access to a university education.Others posit that higher education should be open to everyone, regardless of their academic abilities.I agree with the former opinion.Universities should only allow good students into their programs because these students value the importance of a good education and are interested in furthering their education.Furthermore, if all students were allowed into universities, the schools would quickly become saturated, and the quality of education received would diminish.A university education is very important to a good student.This type of student has set his/her sights on a university education from early on, and has put in the necessary work to earn a place in a good university.Poor students who did not try to achieve good grades in high school obviously do not care about their education, and therefore, do not deserve to go to university.However, if these poor students go back to school and improve their grades, they should also be allowed to go to university.Good students are very interested in furthering their education.They have put copious amounts of work into their education, and are interested in learning more.Poor students are usually not as interested in furthering their education.If they were interested in this, they would have tried harder to begin with.With that said, let us suppose for a moment that universities did allow all students, regardless of their grades, into university.The school would quickly become overfull, and good students, who really care about their education, would suffer because of it.They might not be able to get into the classes they want, and if they do get in, there might be so many students in the class that it is impossible to learn.In conclusion, I think that it is important to save a university education for those who really want it-good students.If a poor student wishes to go to university, then he/she will have to return to high school and improve his/her grades.TOPIC: [命题作文欣赏] Should schools ask students to evaluate their teachers?
Schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers.Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Teachers have a very difficult job in society.They not only have to learn how to teach material effectively, but also must learn how to deal with a wide variety of personalities.While teaching is a difficult job, I think it is important for schools to ask students to evaluate their teachers.I think this is the right thing to do because it encourages teachers to try their best, it gives students the opportunity to choose effective teachers, and it allows the schools to have the best teachers possible teaching.If a teacher knows that at the end of the term, the students will be evaluating his/her work, then the teacher will be driven to do a very good job.If there is no pressure from evaluation, a teacher might be prone to doing a less than perfect job.I believe that everyone needs an occasional evaluation to ensure they are doing their job correctly.In the case of a teacher, the students will give the most important evaluations.If there was a public summary of which teacher scored the highest on his/her evaluations, then students would be able to take courses based on which teacher was the best at the job.This would allow students to excel in their studies, and achieve better grades.Finally, if schools ask students to evaluate their teachers, the schools themselves would be able to have the best teachers working on campus.If a teacher scored too low on an evaluation, a replacement could be found.This is a much better method than waiting for students to complain about a teacher.Teachers do have a difficult job, but regardless of this, they must excel at it.If a person is a particularly poor teacher, the students will not learn the required material, and suffer for it.

The iPad is Apple’s new tablet computer.Steven P.Jobs positioned the iPad as a device that sits between the laptop and the smart phone-and which does certain things better than both
of them, like browsing the Web, reading e-books and playing video.There was enormous anticipation leading up to its release on Jan.27, 2010.Media
companies hoped that the device would finally lead to a viable way for them to charge for news, books and other material.The iPad’s features and specifications, once the stuff of Internet myth, are now sharply in focus: The half-inch thick, 1.5-pound device will
feature a 9.7-inch multi-touch screen and is powered by a customized Apple microchip, which it has dubbed A4.The iPad will have the same
operating system as the iPhone and access to its 140,000 applications.The price of the device will start at $499 for the most basic model, with a Wi-Fi wireless connection.More expensive models will be offered with
more memory and with 3G wireless access from AT&T, which will charge up to $30 for an unlimited monthly data plan.The device lacks a camera, the ability to make phone calls and does not work with the ubiquitous Flash software that runs many Web sites.Apple
is selling accessories like a stand and a keyboard.The iPad puts Apple on a direct collision course with Amazon.Mr.Jobs credited Amazon with pioneering the category with the Kindle, but said
“we are going to stand on their shoulders and go a little bit farther.”

乔布斯将iPad定位于一款介于笔记本电脑和智能手机之间并且在网络浏览,电子书阅读以及视频播放等方面明显优于二者的设备。众多的期望致使其2010年1月27日的发布。传媒公司希望这款设备能够最终为他们对新闻,书籍以及其他材料进行收费提供可行的途径。
iPad的功能与规格曾经是互联网上虚构的东西,而现在成为万众瞩目的焦点:这款半英寸厚1.5英镑重的设备配置一块9.7英寸的多点触控屏幕,使用一块被称作A4的定制苹果芯片。iPad将会采用与iPhone相同的操作系统,能够适用iPhone的140000个应用程序。
这款设备的价格将会499美元起,基本机型配有Wi-Fi无线连接。更贵的机型将会提供更多的储存空间以及AT&T的3G无线接入,这将会每月
收取高达30美元的不限流量套餐费用。
这款设备没有配备照相,打电话的功能,并且不能与运行于许多网站随处可见的Flash软件兼容。苹果公司同时销售配件像支架,键盘。
iPad将苹果公司置于与亚马逊公司正面竞争的的局面。乔布斯先生肯定了亚马逊公司Kidle的先驱作用,同时说:“我们将会站在他们的肩膀,并且走得更远一点。”
Web services(sometimes called application services)are services(usually including some combination of programming and data, but possibly including human resourcesas well)that are made available from a business's Web server for Web users or other Web-connected programs.Web services range from such major services as
storage management and customer relationship management(CRM)down to much more limited services such as the furnishing of a stock quote and the checking of bidsfor an auction item

第五篇:四级写作
四级写作
孙子云:“知己知彼,百战不殆”。想在写作考试中获得成功,就必须首先了解四级考试的要求和评分规则。由于新四级考试还没有开始进行,笔者就以一篇根据现行四级写作题目“Do‘Lucky Numbers’Really Bring Good Luck?”写成的学生作文为例来讲述几个最基本的道理。
例文1:
Some people think that certian(拼写错误)numbers will bring good luck to them.Numbers such as six, eight, sixteen and eighteen are regarded as lucky numbers.There are also people who think that their success is related to certain numbers.However, some other people think numbers have nothing to do with their luck.They believe in their own rather than“lucky numbers”.They don't do things according to certain numbers.As far as I am concerned, I think it is a person's own business whether he believes in a certain number or not.The most important thing is that he has done the work by himself and has done it quite well.As to the belief in numbers, it is their(前后指代不一致,应改为his)personal choice.该文章是当年四级考试命题组印发给全国评卷老师的一篇例文,根据15分制的评分标准,这篇例文被评为14分,供全国评卷老师作为评分参考。乍看起来,本文无论从遣词造句还是思想深度,似乎都算不得一篇佳作;但它之所以能够被评为14分,还是有其内在深层次原因的,那就是经常被考生们所忽视的议论文写作常识。简要地讲,可分为以下三个部分:
(一)英文议论文的结构特点
汉语写作对文章结构的要求不是很高,如开头段应该包括什么、论题句应该在什么时候出现、文章的结尾是否必须总结全文等等。而英语写作要求文章结构必须十分严谨,文章各个部分的功能都要十分清晰,开头、中间和结尾都有严格的要求。
简而言之,英语议论文共有三大特点:
1、观点鲜明的开头;
2、紧扣主题的结尾;
3、有主题句并且衔接自然的中间段落。
这三点当中,第1、2点早已为绝大多数中国学生所熟知,因为开头点题和结尾扣题同样也是汉语文章的要求。但在长时间的学习过程中,这样的要求被很多学生以为是“老土”而得不到足够的重视。如果将这种思想带到英语议论文写作当中,直接的后果就是中心分散、观点不明确,加上中国学生普遍英文表达能力不强,这些因素就为整篇文章的失败埋下了隐患。
另外,英语文章和汉语不同的是段落的主题句一定要放在段首,而不能按照中文的写作习惯放在段落的中间或者最后,在英文应试写作中更加如此。正因为没有“主题句”的思想,所以中国学生在写英语文章时经常“想到什么,就写什么”,这在英语议论文中是不能接受的。例如,例文1中每一段的首句都简要地概括出了该段的主要内容,换句话说,每段的内容都是根据首句来展开的,其顺序不能颠倒。
(关于段落的衔接,在后面的内容中将详细介绍。)(二)中心统一
在中心统一这个问题上,英语议论文和汉语议论文的概念也有所不同。中国人在写议论文时常常遵循“中庸”的原则,其具体的表现就是认为世界上没有任何事情是绝对的。当他们在文章中表扬一件事物或一种现象的时候,总要指出其不足;同样,在批评一件事物或一种现象的同时,也总不忘记指出其也有合理之处。这种做法从道理上来讲并没有什么不妥,但却不符合英语议论文的写作习惯,因为英语作家在写议论文时关注的是自己的辩论技巧和其结果对公众的影响力。换句话说,如果作者告诉大家两面都有道理也就等于说两面都没有道理,因为读者在读了文章之后仍旧不知道作者的看法是什么,以及自己在这种情况下到底该怎么做。
所以,既然四级考试考的是英语文章,大家就应该遵循英文议论文的写作思路和习惯:表示支持则旗帜鲜明地支持;表示反对就彻彻底底地反对,而不能采取“墙头草两边倒”的做法。以上面的例文1为例,如果作者的观点是“幸运数字是既有道理又无道理的”,这种观点就无法让人接受,因为在英语议论文中,这是典型的中心不统一
大学英语四级写作常用经典句型

It is self-evident/ conceivable / obvious / apparent that…
It goes without saying that… It is universally acknowledged that… It is / that 2)宾(表)语从句 We cannot understand why he was so cruel to his roommates.The problem is not who will go, but who will stay.3)定语从句(限定性和非限定性)
As is shown/ demonstrated/ illustrated/ depicted/ described…in the cartoon/ picture/ graph/ table…, There are many reasons why I want to study in your university.It is estimated that tens of billions of pounds spent on cigarettes every year in our country, which is a huge waste.4)状语从句(时间,原因,地点,条件,让步,转折等)
When the man is enjoying the cigarette, the smoke becomes a monster(怪物)which will devour him.Whatever the reason, there are still some problems with student use of computers.5)分词短语做定语或状语

Only through these measures can we hope to solve the problem.Scattered around the globe are more than 100 small regions of isolated volcanic activity known to geologists as hot spots.7)被动句
Some measures should be taken to deal with the problem.He is said to have accomplished a lot of great deeds.Many people believe that…(It is believed that…)8)设问句
Do you still remember the boy who cried wolf for several times so no one would trust him?
大学英语新四级考试写作要求及高分策略(1)一.四级考试对写作的要求
《大学英语教学大纲》和《大学英语课程教学基本要求》都对培养学生的英语写作能力做了明确规定,即学生能在半小时内完成120字左右的短文,包括书信等应用问题写作,要求文理基本通顺,表达思想清楚,无重大语法错误。通过分析历年的真题,我们不难发现:英语作文考查的类型基本包括议论文(一般为三段论式的论说文字),说明文(目前侧重于这方面的写作训练),图表作文(要求描述性的语言要贴近图表信息,真实反映语言水平)和应用文写作(包括书信、便条、通知、海报等)。
二.四级改革和写作变化
2005年1月的作文题目是要求学生以导游的身份写一篇演讲稿,不仅包含欢迎辞(表态)行程安排,(说明),而且包含安排的理由(说理)。2005年6月作文题目是校园文化旅游,要求学生就此阐述不同的观点。2006年1月是个竞选演说,如果我当选学生会主席,我会给大家做点什么事情(说明)。2006年6月17日的四级考试则是一个海报,要求考生构想一个招募志愿者的海报,其中包括应聘人必备的资历和应准备的材料等(说明)。2006年6月24日新题型的作文是传统的议论文形式,讨论大学生选择任课老师相关的问题。2007年1月作文也是传统的议论文形式,探讨对春节晚会所持的不同观点。2007年6月份是欢迎同学加入俱乐部的海报(应用文)。
从上面的题目变化趋势看,描述现象、分析原因、个人看法仍是四、六级考试写作部分主要考查的重点,在今后相当长的时间内,英语写作教学和辅导的主要突破口应集中在说明文、议论文和应用文上。
此外,仔细研究06年6月24日以后的四级试卷,我们还可发现,新四级的写作题目与校园生活密切相关,学生普遍感觉亲切,体裁包括两篇议论文,一篇应用文。不仅如此,新四级写作题中提供的文章框架清晰,思路比较明确,绝大多数考生都能利用“经典句型”或“万能模板”写出及格的作文。尽管新四级前两次都考查了议论文,但这并不能说明写作的重心有任何偏移。根据考试改革方案和课程教学要求的相关规定,应用文写作、说明文和议论文仍将是新四级作文的主攻方向。
三.四级写作高分策略
新四级考试并没有改变对写作的测试标准和要求,但在出题顺序上却做了明显的调整:写作作为第一项考查的内容,被提到新四级试卷的最开头,这令许多考生感觉不适应,部分网友甚至认为这是在折腾考生。其实,提高写作能力虽然较难,但写作教学却是一片大有可为的沃土。在过去十多年的英语写作辅导中,笔者坚持认为:考生如果坚持做到如下几点,就不难在规定的时间内写出一篇成功的英语作文。
1.了解英语写作的测试目的,准确把握题目的要求
英语写作测试,其实主要还是要考查学生组织英语语言的能力,和用英语表达思想的能力,体裁不外乎议论文,说明文和应用文,主题也是在大学生熟知话题基础上的翻新或扩展。综观历年的四级作文真题,变化趋势是从三段论的议论文向实用性更强的应用文体,尤其是书信写作方面倾斜。考生平时应有意识地就他们感兴趣的一些话题进行思考和拓展,争取在实践中磨练敏锐的审题能力。2.迅速梳理写作的思路,列出并借助提纲进行写作
到了大学阶段,学生还是非常善于思考的,他们不仅想象力非常丰富,晚上做梦,还经常daydream, 各有独特的思维和写作思路。但是,如何将千头万绪的思路梳理清楚,学生则必须有真工夫。为此,在进行四级写作时,考生一定要首先形成自己的观点,之后合理运用一些手段,如常用的有四种:陈述理由、举例说明、提供数据、下定义等,之后充分就此展开论说。这样通过高效思考,严密组织,再辅以提纲形式的文章架构,考生一定会写出较符合规范的文章 3.扩展写作提纲,草拟文稿,表述主要观点
在利用提纲展示个人写作思路的基础上,学生还应充分利用现有的英语水平,按照一定的逻辑思路,充分表达个人的观点。写作之初,学生不必字斟句酌,只要脉络清楚,具备轮廓就可以了。草拟文章的过程实际是把思维结果外在化的过程,学生应力争使文章具有连贯性和流畅性。草拟过程的顺利与否,在很大程度上取决于平时训练所达到的水平。许多考生畏惧作文,经常懒于动笔;还有一些考生认为写作很难提高,干脆放弃平时的训练。这些想法都是错误的。为真正提高写作水平,笔者建议大家从开始准备四级的那天起,就应有针对性地分体裁、分话题、分阶段地进行实战模拟,强迫自己一气呵成将文章写完,不必追求完美,不必在乎自己的文稿到底语言有多么不地道或出现多少语法错误。熟能生巧。只要坚持多写、多练,平时注意扩大阅读,写作的水平自然就会提高。

As the proverb says, “Knowledge is power.” It is an undeniable fact that a large amount of students prefer to choose their own teachers for certain courses.In fact, some universities allow their students to do so.When choosing a teacher, some factors should be taken into consideration.On one hand, a learned teacher is preferred.After all, for a student, studying is given full priority.A teacher with plentiful knowledge can ease the burden of study for many students and provide them with many opportunities for enlarging their scope of knowledge, while at the same time realizing their potentials.On the other hand, a teacher with a clear and humorous teaching style is favorable.To a large extent, whether a lecture is welcomed by the students or not is depended on the way of delivering rather than its content.No one can deny that interesting interaction is far more enjoyable than monologue.There is a good side and a bad side to everything, including choosing teachers by students.It goes without saying that it can arouse students’ interest in study to the largest extent.Such phenomena as being absent from classes or paying no attention to the classes may vanish.Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that it can bring some side-effects.The management of classes may be in a disorder.Some teachers can be warmly welcomed so the number of the students may be too large while other courses may have few participants.We can conclude that allowing students to choose their own teachers has both positive and negative effects.What we must do is to make sure that the positive ones are encouraged and the negative ones are eliminated as far as possible.春节作文

开头部分:大致介绍一下春节,及春节的一些习俗,点明你所要介绍的习俗。(略写)
例:元宵节是我国的四大节日之一,元宵节一过,春节也就算过完了,所以这一天是非常隆重和热闹的。过元宵节的节目丰富多彩,有充满乐趣的看花灯猜灯谜,有喜气洋洋的舞龙,还有热闹非凡的赛龙船。不过,最吸引我们小孩子的却是那多姿多彩的烟花。
第二部分:介绍这一习俗的来历、象征意义等,像剪纸、年画、千千结等还可以写写这些物品的种类、样子等。(详细)
例:春联代表着欢乐祥和。在我们中国,每逢春节,无论城市还是农村,家家户户都要精选一副大红春联贴在门上,为节日增加喜庆的气氛。一幅幅春联不仅带来了吉祥和祝福,还带来了中国古老的浓浓的文化气息。瞧!“大地春光好,长天晓日红”、“岁岁皆如意,年年尽平安”、“江山万里如画,神州四时皆春”、“春风送春处处***美,喜鹊报喜家家喜事多”…… 幅幅春联让千家万户喜气盈门。春联的种类比较多。按照使用场所,可分为门心、框对、横批、春条、斗方等。因此,贴的位置也不同,如“门心”贴在门板上端中心部位;“横批”贴在门楣的横木上。

例:我看着那散发着传统文化芳香的中华结,仿佛品味到了中华民族远古的神秘和东方的灵秀。它的古香古色,它的千变万化,让我神往,让我遐想…… 《春节的街头》
今天,是中国传统节日——春节。早晨我还没醒,就听到了鞭炮的声音。平静的社区,今日显得热闹非凡。这热闹的喧嚣,把我的睡意一股脑的全都打撒开来。于是,起床穿上了新衣服连早饭都来不及吃就冲到门外,看着各家各户的炮竹,烟花。接着就是跟爸爸妈妈一起去走街串巷——拜年!
“李伯伯,新年快乐”“王阿姨,工作顺了”“刘奶奶,身体健康”〃〃〃跟所有的长辈们拜过年之后,妈妈提议说:一会,去街上看看,感受下新年的气氛。
一上街,街上可就更热闹了。人们手里有提着大袋大袋的菜,身边的孩子手上握着一大把小花炮,蹦蹦跳跳地跑着。看!我左边的一位四、五岁左右的小女孩,跑到前面去。一下子又转过头对一位满手是鼓鼓的袋子的大人喊着:“爸爸,快点!我要回去放炮玩呢!”。有拿着那边超市发的小气球的,红的,黄的,绿的,还有蓝的。也有三五成群,手挽着手说说笑笑的姑娘们,小伙子们,忙绿了一年,辛苦了一年,我想这个时候应该是大家最放松,最高兴的时候。你看,路灯上还挂着两个小红灯,喜气洋洋的。就像在说,“我们也要过新年,我们也要过新年”。
一进菜市场,那才更热闹呢!人流窜动,一眼望去,什么也看不见,全是人。还有那翠绿的黄瓜,可真新鲜哪,你看,那金黄色的小花在太阳的照射下显得多么的生机勃勃啊。那鲫鱼,鲢鱼,青鱼,草鱼等等在水里游来游去,真是印证了我们中国的老话:年年有鱼(余)!黄的韭菜,红的番茄,黑的木耳,白的萝卜〃〃〃真是要什么有什么呀。“哎哟!可真够挤的。”我嘀咕了一句。跟着妈妈买了几个我爱吃的菜,结完帐就走出了菜场。超市里的收银台前也早已排起了长龙。
傍晚时分,街上,又渐渐安静下来。店主们把店子关了,超市也比往常早了些许关门。大家都提着东西回家过年去了。
到了晚上6点左右,社区渐渐安静,孩子们都回家吃团圆饭去了。吃完团圆饭7、8点的样子社区又重新热闹起来。孩子们全都出来放花炮了。这个放个“降落伞,”那个又放个“天女撒花”〃〃〃〃各式各样的花炮全有。每放完一个都会聚集好几个孩子,他们在讨论谁的花炮最美丽,谁的花炮颜色最多,之后又是阵阵欢笑。大人们或几个坐在一起打牌,打麻将;或几个坐在一起嗑瓜子,剥花生;或看着自己的孩子放花炮,偶尔还要帮他们一下。大多数的孩子,都是自己独立操作完成。
夜,更深了。人们陆陆续续的回家了,有些不肯回家的孩子也在父母的劝说下,不情愿的回了家,一天的热闹景象渐渐被夜幕包围。我不禁感叹又是一年到,时间过得可真快呀!
春节见闻 “当、当、当”新年的钟声敲响了,家家户户的门上早已贴上了或火红或金黄的对联,每一家的老老少少都乐得合不拢嘴。兴奋的孩子们有的目不转睛地盯着电视,品尝着一年一度的晚会大餐――春节晚会;有的急着给自己的长辈拜年,发短信,打电话,所有新年的祝福话语仿佛怎么也说不完;调皮的孩子正在向自己的父辈们 “讨要”压岁钱;屋外的鞭炮声此起彼伏,炸开了锅,五彩的烟花更是把这个特殊的夜晚点缀得绚丽多姿。
正月初一,农历新年的第一天迎着人们的喜悦祥和而来。我这个平时最赖床的懒汉,今天却起了个大早,因为我极想穿上我那美丽的新衣,出去好好炫耀一翻。我要去走亲访友拜新年了,这无疑也是一件高兴的事。我们小孩子走在拜年队伍的前面,见到长辈们拜个年,说几句吉利话,就可以收获一大把的压岁钱,然后拿到街上去买自己喜爱的东西――玩具、零食、鞭炮……,家长好像变了个人似的,对我们的放纵是那么的宽容,一切都有了!这就是过年的感觉。
“放鞭炮喽!”不知是谁喊了一声,小孩子们很快都聚在了一起。一串串鞭炮在人们手中点燃,响声震天,四处飞溅,仿佛要把一个个美好的愿望送到千家万户。一阵阵炮竹声接连不断,热闹非凡。
到了吃饭的时候,望着满桌子平时最爱吃的菜肴,我们小孩子却一点儿也不觉得饿。大人们在推杯换盏之间,谈论最多是:今非昔比啊!今天的幸福生活从餐桌上最能说明问题,现在人们生活好了,天天就像在过年!
奔波在走亲访友的路途上,我见到了春意盎然的田间大地,一条条新修的高速公路缩短了我们的行程,通往乡村的泥巴路也被“村村通”的水泥路所覆盖,城市高楼大厦像雨后春笋,一年一个变化……
春节对于我们小孩子来说,那就是一切都在变化,一切都是新的!
