第一篇:六级写作经典及点评艺术与幽默
我们或许不能像伟人那样超凡脱俗,但可以时时借助幽默来使自己开心,使自己超脱尘世的种种烦恼。漫画就是这样的一种幽默形式。
Art and Humor
Millions of people struggle out of bed each morning, fumble into some
clothes, and make their way to a cup of coffee and the morning newspaper①.They need something cheerful to remind them that the rest of the day will be less difficult than getting up.This need may be the reason that many of them turn their half-opened eyes to the comics section of the newspaper as they sip their first cups of coffee of the day.Cartoons reflect the times and the troubles and worries of people.They give people an opportunity to laugh at themselves and at familiar situations.For example, a cartoon might say that the government of a country is responsible for the bad economy and also show the government leaders as a group of ridiculous people.Being able to use the leaders as scapegoats and to laugh at the leaders somehow makes people feel better about their situation.Cartoons also make people laugh at their own personal worries.Young people who are not always sure of how to act can smile at their awkwardness.Old people whose grown children pay little attention to them can chuckle at their neglect and loneliness.Students who have studied too little before an examination can laugh at their anxiety.Everyone’s problems are made
bigger–than–life in the comics.Perhaps the problems seem funny because there is humor in something that is real being made unreal.A cartoon combines art and humor.When it is skillfully done, a simple line drawing and a few words can make people laugh.Their troubles seem less important, and they enjoy life more fully.[276 words]
行文点评
这篇文章结构比较清晰。第一段提出观点:漫画可以令人快乐,作者用了struggle out of bed, fumble into some clothes, 形象地展示了一个大多数读者都非常熟悉的生活场景。第二、三段从公众和个人的角度说明,漫画反映人们的时代和生活特点;每段的第一句话都是主题句(topic sentence),即每一段都在第一句提出这一段的分论点,再对其加以论证。第四段总结全文,点明文章的主题。
文中排比句的运用,比如第三段中对不同类型人的笑的描述Young people … Old people … Students …,也值得读者在写作中借鉴。

艺术与幽默
每天清晨,成千上万的人不情愿地起床,摸索着穿上衣服,然后喝咖啡,看早报。他们需要一些令人高兴的事情来提醒自己一天中剩余的时间将不会像起床那样难受。这就是为什么他们会在喝一天中的第一杯咖啡时将惺忪的睡眼投向报纸上的连环漫画专栏的原因。漫画反映一个时代,也反映人们的问题和烦恼。它给了人们一个自我解嘲的机会,让人们对他们熟悉的事情发笑。例如,某幅漫画会把经济不景气归咎于一个国家的政府,但也会把政府领导人画成一群可笑的人。把领导人当成替罪羊来加以嘲讽,在某种程度上这会让人们对自己的处境感觉好一点。
漫画也使人们对个人烦恼付之一笑。年轻人不知所措时可以对困境微微一笑。被成年子女冷落的老人可以对自己被人遗忘、孤独的境地轻轻苦笑。而“平时不烧香,临时抱佛脚”的学生也可以对考试前的焦虑笑一笑。连环画把人们的问题夸张地表现出来。也许那些问题看上去很可笑,这是因为当真实的事物被夸大到不真实的程度时,本身就产生了幽默。漫画结合了艺术和幽默。巧妙地画几笔简单的线条,写几句简洁的话就能让人开怀大笑。人们的烦心事看上去不再那么重要了,而人们也能够更充分地享受生活。

第二篇:六级写作要点
六级写作要点
写作常见错误综述
1.缺少标题;相对于作文长短来说标题太大,应该根据文章的主要内容缩小标题;标题的大小写不规范.作文的标题中的首尾单词的第一个字母要大写,另外,中间出现的单词中,除冠词,连词(and, or, but, nor, for),短的介词和不定式的to要小写外,其它词要大写:
my first visit to the palace museum
the people without a country
rules to abide by
dickens and david copperfield
what can the artist do in the world of today?
what reform means to china
the myth of a “negro literature”
the English-speaking people in Quebec
My First Visit to the Palace Museum The People Without a Country
Rules to Abide By
Dickens and David Copperfield
What Can the Artist Do in the World of Today?
What Reform Means to China
The Myth of a “Negro Literature”
The English-Speaking People in Quebec
2.段落开头空格不规范,应该空四至五个字母的距离;
文章要分段,不能全文只有一或两段,一般要有至少三段,而且开头结尾段不宜太长,一般各部分不超过四句话。
3.除去开头结尾一般就应该是文章的中心部分,这部分的内容不能太少。这部分的内容从字数上应该至少超过开头结尾的总和。而且,从语言形式上看,要把这部分内容分成几部分且用关联词语进行连接,使这部分从形式上看条理清楚。
中心部分的内容也要意思上是相互联系的,如先写重要的,再写次要的;或先一方面再写另一方面。
4.不论议论文写什么内容,请记住只要写一个中心观点。可以开头段或结尾段亮明你的观点。
但文章中所有内容都应该为这个中心观点服务,不论是证明中心观点的次观点,还是举例,请紧紧围绕你的观点写作文。
5.因为是议论文,文章的目的是说服文章读者认同你的观点,所以文章要客观,有说服力。为此,要避免主观偏激的议论,举出有说服力的事例或数据,引用名言,做出合理的分析讨论。
5.因为是议论文,文章的目的是说服文章读者认同你的观点,所以文章要客观,有说服力。为此,要避免主观偏激的议论,举出有说服力的事例或数据,引用名言,做出合理的分析讨论。
6.书写潦草会影响你的得分。单词拼写错误也常常出现,建议多查字典,考试中对那些没把握的词尽量不用。句子的语法错误也不少,对此要学好语法,也可通过多练笔请别人改的方法提高。有些表达令人费解,建议写作完成后尝试以一个读者的身份给自己的作文挑刺。
7.文章的开头是非常重要的,这是文章的引子。作为读者, 会从开头段传递出来的信息来对下文的内容有一个合理期待, 如果与期待不符, 会让读者觉得文章写作很不紧凑。
8要提高写作不是一朝一夕能做到的,需要下工夫。可以通过多写作文,多看范文或多背范文,学习写作知识来提高写作。平时多背一些好的句型,并能在说的时候尽量用上,多做翻译练习(口头的可节省时间,笔头能进行细致分析)对提高写作也很有帮助。

本文是一篇议论文,要求对“微笑是两个人之间最短的距离”做出论述。文章可分为三部分:第一部分引出话题,提出观点——微笑可以拉近人们之间的距离;第二部分论述微笑拉近人们之间距离的具体表现,并举例支持论述;第三部分总结微笑的作用,升华自己的观点。
【写作范文】
Smiles Shorten the Distance between People
As the proverb puts it, a smile is the shortest distance between two people.In my opinion, a smile could bring people closer and we should smile as much as we can.Firstly, a smile may help ease the tension in personal relationship.For example, when we make a mistake, a smile of our parents may remove our fears, what’s more, give us the courage to amend and make progress.During the process, we become closer to our parents.Secondly, a smile may help break the ice between two strangers.For instance, when we fall down on the ground, we will be grateful if a stranger with a smile on his or her face gives a hand to us.We’ll suddenly feel warm in the heart and feel the distance between the stranger and us is much shorter, and if we are lucky enough, we make a new friend.To conclude, a smile could be an effective way to shorten the distance between people.Hence, it is advisable for people to smile more, not only to our beloved ones but also strangers.By doing so, we can build a more harmonious world and live a happier life.
第五篇:六级作文点评
The Way to Success
Success is something everyone looks for, longs for and dies for.But have you ever considered what success is? Some may hold that success means one has beautiful life, like pretty house, cool cars and great power.It’s indeed one way to define success.But to me, success is doing something one really feels like doing。
To achieve this kind of success, one has to bear in mind
three essential prerequisites, namely knowing where your interest really lies in, possessing the strong will to pursue your interest and having
the diligence to realize your dream.In other words, they are “what” “why” and “how” of success.It’s really luckily good for one, especially for the younger generation of today to find their dreams, follow them and in the end, make them come true and become successful。
Although it’s never easy to succeed, progressing with the strong will and diligence towards the right direction, you’ll be the one。
【作文解析】
这是一篇议论文。作者首先提出问题”what is success?”,但并没有在这个问题上着更多的笔墨,而是直接引出了自己的观点:success is doing something one really feels like doing.算是立意较为新颖的地方。随后在第二段对这种成功背后的三种必要条件做出了阐述。整体看,行文流畅,用语规范地道。
本篇亮点:
1.排比词组或句子的运用:
Success is something everyone looks for, longs for and dies for。
…namely, knowing where your interest really lies in, possessing the strong will to pursue your interest and having the diligence to realize your dream。
2.bear in mind
3.lie in
4.strong will to pursue your interest
本文有待提高之处:
1.文中人称有些混乱。有些使用第二人称代指读者,有些又以第三人称指代,建议统一。
2.结构上,一般情况下我们建议考生使用典型的“三段式”,即,提出问题、分析问题、解决问题。该作者基本上遵循了这个原则,但第三段更多的却是重复了第二段的中心思想,并没有起到很好的总结作用。如果第三段,作者可以与第一段的“成功定义”相呼应,例如:即使没有这些身外之物,但心灵上的满足,梦想的实现,才是我心中成功的本质。整体看,文章在语言表达和立意上还不错。但在文章结构上有些松散,有待提高。
