写作知识与技巧写作知识与技巧 (一)四级作文的考试要求1.考生应在30分钟内,根据题目要求及写作提纲或规定情节,图表等写出120字以上,语言比较规范的短文。Nomorethan180words.2.要求“内容切题,包括提纲的全部要点,表达清楚,文字连贯。句式有变化,句子结构和用词正确。”(二)四级作文通病分析通过对历年英语短文写作考生答卷的分析,考生写作时已具有较大的主动性和创造性。绝大多数考生都有一定的英语基础,也已经基本上掌握了表达自己观点和想法的词汇和语法知识。但从整体得分来看,多数考生短文写作成绩却不尽人意。分数主要集中在5-9分。考生普遍存在的问题是思维单调,例证堆切,简单罗例数据,片面描绘画面,缺乏主题提升等方面的通病。究其原因,一方面存在着教学过程中忽略了对学生书面表达能力的培养,学生缺乏适量的作文训练;另一方面,还有些考生对英语短文写作的考试要求不十分明确,靠背几篇范文,压几道题,抱着碰运气的态度,就仓促上阵。(三)四级作文常见的(三)四级作文常见的11大症结大症结1.大小写,标点符号,拼写错误;2.卷面不洁,字迹潦草,用铅笔写作;3.语法和结构错误,造成文章结构松散,脱节;4.代词,连接词或逻辑顺序词错用,而造成文章的逻辑混乱;5.用中文思维加英文翻译所造成的语句生硬,错误;6.文不对题,部分跑题或主题不突出所造成的文章不切题现象。7.词汇量匮乏,文章中难见高分词汇;8.语法不通,复合句使用错误多且表达不清;9.句型单一、句子无变化,表达方式单调;10.不会正确使用常用套语,文章缺少层次感;11.作文普遍缺乏文采,打动人的杰作奇缺。1.对立观点型:对立观点型:要不要取消春晚(2006,12)大学校园是否要开放(2005,12),口语考试要不要考(2000,6)娱乐活动的益处和坏处(2008.6)2.解释说明型:解释说明型:选择选修课的因素(2007,12)选择大学任课教师(2006,6new),做人要诚实(2003,1),我最喜爱的电视节目及原因(1993,6)3.解决问题型:解决问题型:怎样取得面试成功(2001,1),怎样支付大学学费(2000,1)4.图表图表:大学生使用计算机(2002,6)5.信件:信件:欢迎加入社团(2007,6)招募志愿者活动辞(2006,6),给老师的感谢信(2005,6),竞选学生会的演讲稿(2005,1),导游介绍(2004,1),建议朋友报考专业信(2003,12),帮助同学的感想(2004,1),食堂投诉信(2002,1)2011年11月CET-4PartIforthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteashortessayentitledNothing
