精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上专四作文备考对策一: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, ri se, 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, viewas, regardas, 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:用 恰当的逻辑词表现文章的逻辑性。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。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。作文中常用句套: 下文中出现的 A,B, “.”(某事物), "sb"( somebody), 要在写作中要根据上下文进行适当替换. 开头: When it comes to ., some think .
