大学英语四级写作技巧简介

之一——文章结构

英文写作一直是学生们的弱项,四级考试将近,大家都很担心写作问题,在此我先简单介绍一下文章的结构问题,以后再谈其他方面。

四级写作一般以三段式展开,题目要求中通常包含三个要点,每个要点为一段(记住,一定要分段),第一段提出问题,第二段分析问题,第三段解决问题。以历年的真题为例,2006年12月的题目为spring festival gala on cctv,要求:1。许多人喜欢看春节晚会;2。但有些人提出取消春节晚会;3。我的看法。“喜欢看春节晚会”是正常现象,应该作为问题的开端进行简短介绍,“有些人提出取消春节晚会”才是重点,必须给出相应的篇幅做详细阐述。最后表明我的观点,其实就是问作者的态度及解决这个矛盾的方法。又如2006年6月的题目:an announcement for a voluntary program, 要求:1。校学生会组织一次暑假志愿活动现招募志愿者;2。本次志愿活动的目的、内容及安排;3。报名条件和联系方式。这仍是三段式的结构,第一段提出问题——告之大家会举办一次暑假志愿活动,第二段描述问题——介绍志愿活动的相关信息,第三段解决问题

——怎样加入志愿活动(报名信息)。往年还考过写简历,写演讲稿,论述社会现象等题目,总是跳不出三段式,因此学生们必须掌握如何写三段式作文。

总的来说有三点要注意:1。开篇就得点题。文章字数有限,必须采取开门见山的方法,但开篇点题并不是说第一段第一句话就得提出问题,在这之前可以有所修饰,有导入的成分,但不要太长,一般第三句就得清楚、突出地把问题点出来。2。中间段阐述必须清楚。中间段是全文的核心部分,要做到阐述清楚,论证充分,要有一致性、连贯性和条理性。一般由主题句和扩展句组成,主题句是观点的高度浓缩,应该言简意赅;扩展句是对主题句的详细阐述,应该做到理由充分,内容一致。3。结尾段进行总结,并提出解决问题的方法。最后的总结在观点上可以重申但不可以重复,另外结尾一定要有所升华,不能仍停留在对问题的描述上,既然存在问题,就必须想办法解决。

至于如何开端、如何论述、如何结尾的问题,大家敬请期待下一回吧!当然我不会让大家久等的:)

写作能力无法一口气提高,大家必须在平时勤修苦练。

之二——突出主题

well begun is a half done,如何开头是值得注意的问题,它能确定

你的文章给人留下的first impression。中国人喜欢先讲道理最后给出结论,而西方人习惯先下定义,再慢慢解释。按照西方人的思维方式,我们在写文章开头的时候就得突出主题,不拐弯抹角。

常见的开头的写作方法大致有下面几种:

1。引述名言谚语

eg: "you have to believe in yourself. that's the secret of success." charles chaplin ever said. in my opinion, self-confidence is the first element on the way to your goal.as the old saying goes:"knowledge is power." the main way for us students to gain knowledge is from the books. so some students argue thatwe should read extensively...

it is well known to us all that "..."

2. 对比,比较

eg: some people say ..., while others claim that ...

some people believe..., but others argue that...

old people often feel that..., but for the young, it is ....

3. 提出一个问题

eg: what constitutes enough information for the decision-maker? it's impossible to put a number on it, but...

should the spring festival gala be cancelled ? different people have different answers.

misunderstanding is inevitable in communications. if such misfortuns occurs, what is your response? here are some tips for you to treat it in a proper way.

4。数据引证(一般用在看图作文中)

eg: as we can see in the charts(柱状图,圆形百分比图),the number of chinese people who go abroad has increased greatly between 1992 and 2002.

as is clearly shown in the charts, there is an increasing number of people who own a car during the recent three years.

the figures in this graph(曲线图)show us that...

according to the graph, we can find that...

it can be seen from the table(图表,表格)that...

5. 陈述现状

eg: with the rapid development of..., the interview is becoming more and more important in job-hunting.

because of the development of..., great changes have occured in the educational system of china.

nowadays mobilphone is very popular with college students.(很受学生欢迎)in recent years cheating in cet4 still prevails among the college students. (近几年里四级考试舞弊现象在大学生中仍然很普遍。)

it is well-accepted that nowadays dishonesty is a common phenomenon in society. (人们都意识到现今社会中普遍存在不诚实的现象)

there is a heated debate over private car.

nowadays private car aroused a lot of controversy.

偏离主题是写作中的大忌讳,它意味着考生做了30分钟的白工。为了避免这个问题我们一定要仔细省题,弄清楚考题要求是写议论文、说明文还是记叙文,然后确定文章主题和大致思路。

之三——主题句和扩展句

在明确了题目要求、确定立意后,应该根据题意构思出文章的框架结构。其中写好主题句是最关键的步骤。

论述的段落包含多个主题句。主题句(topic sentence)反映段落的中心思想,体现文章的整体结构,让读者对作者的思路一目了然。要写好主题句必须注意以下几个方面:

1。主题句必须是个完整的句子,与文章主旨密切相关。

2。主题句一般是general sentence,内容明确、具体。

3。主题句内涵要广,便于展开细节论述。

比如,写一篇论述计算器的文章,主题思想是反映计算器能帮助人们快速解决算术问题,但过分依赖计算器会对人脑有不良影响。那么主题句应该要紧扣计算器的使用利弊这个方面,

eg: calculators can obveousely benefit us.

however, overusing calculators will also do some harm to us.

如果句子不够具体明确,段落的主题便模糊不清,在进一步阐述时会失去方向感。如:to improve english proficiency, one needs to acquire

some skills. 这句话中的some skills太泛,读者弄不清到底是哪方面的技能技巧。改成:to improve reading ability, one needs to acquire some reading skills. 这样含义清楚,范围明确,便于细节描述。

而如果句子涉及的面太窄,不够general,没有进一步讨论的余地,这样的句子就不适合作主题句。如:today more and more women are going out to work. 这句话含义非常清楚,没有进行详细阐述的必要,所以它本身只能是细节句,用来解释主题句。

主题句确定后,必须有足够的细节去支持主题句所提出的观点,给出充分、有力的论证。这就是扩展句的任务。扩展句是段落的主干部分,是对主题句的中心思想的详细解释,它的特点是:1。清晰详实;2。条理分明;3。内容一致。如:主题句为:cellphone is one of the most popular means of communication. 那么接下来的扩展句应该要紧跟这个中心意思,有条理地进行阐述:(扩展句1)people make use of it to make an appointment, take a message for others, discuss a question and so on. (扩展句2)people even use it to have a meeting or give a notice.这两句话都说明了手机的社交功能,而且以递进的顺序排列,让读者更好地理解主题句的含义,具有说服力。

之四——段落的展开

主题句与扩展句构成段落,那么文章段落有什么样的特点呢?

1。段落一致性。

在一个段落就只有一个主题句,就是说一个段落就只能有一个中心思想,一个核心,段落中所有其他句子都要围绕这个中心展开或铺述,一切与主题句没有

直接关系的句子都要舍弃掉。如:however, fake commodities are extremely harmful to consumers as well as to the whole society. first of all, fake commodities may cause losses to consumers. meanwhile, fake commodities may harm people's health, sometimes even lives. and in the 1998 fatal alcohol poisoning case in shanxi province, for example, a peasant produced "alcohol", dreaming of becoming rich overnight; which, with 27 people killed and about 700 poisoned, caused great

sufferings to the victims and shocked the whole country as well. therefore, it is really high time we took action to crack down on the production and sale of fake

commodities. 第一句显然是主题句,其后作者用了三个扩展句进行说明,每句话都与主题句密切相关,最后的结尾句对整段论述做了升华。所以这一段落是符合一致性原则的。

2。段落连贯性

一个好段落在具体语言上和内容上要有连贯性,段落中的句子要符合一定的条理和逻辑顺序,句与句之间衔接要紧密,过度要自然、流畅,这样才能反映出一个清晰的思路。如:it is known to us all that modern transportation plays an important role in our life. in the past people used to suffer a great deal if they had to make a long journey or convey some heavy goods, the fact is that the transport means at that time was simple and rare. today, various vehicles, ships and airplanes have enabled us to go wherever we like to. not only does modern transportation bring people much

convenience, but is also frees people from the hard work of conveyance. what is more important is that modern transportaion has saved much of our time so that we can do more work and learn more knowledge. 第一句话点明主题,然后通过古今对比展开论述,按时间顺序排列,条理清楚,语句连贯自然。

按逻辑顺序安排细节是使段落连贯的方法之一,常用的顺序有四种:时间顺序、空间顺序、演绎法和归纳法。演绎法是先通过主题句给出一般的总体的观点,然后给出扩展句摆具体的事实,体现了一般到具体的顺序;归纳法是先给具体事实和细节,再概括总结出其中道理、规律,体现了具体到一般的顺序。

使段落连贯的方法之二是使用适当的连接手段,一般是指关联词的使用。这个问题我下次再详许述。

之五——段落的连贯性

在确定好一条条的扩展句后,怎样把这些句子流畅而连贯地组合在一起呢?这便是关联词发挥作用的时候了。在英语中,句与句之间、段与段之间一般都有连词或关联词连接,通过这些词读者能够很清楚地明白文章前后的逻辑联系。适当使用关联词是四级写作必备的技能,大家应该要引起特别重视。常用的关联词分为四类:

1。列举类

列举法常用在议论文中,当作者提出一个论点后,可通过列举出一系列事实对其进行说明或论证。列举类关联词有:

first(ly), second(ly),... finally; for one thing, for another; on the one hand, on the other hand; moreover; furthermore; what's more; in addition; besides; first of all; in the first place, in the second place; (at)last; then; next; the last but not the least

2。举例类

举例法是用事例或数据对中心观点进行说明论证的方法,举例类关联词有:

for example; for instance; such as; like; take...for example; a case in point; namely; in other words; that is; especially; in particular

3。比较和对比

比较是把两种或两种以上的事物进行比较,以辨别出它们的相似之处;对比是将这些事物进行对照,辨别其差异而指出各自的特征和本质。这类关联词有:but; however; yet; otherwise; while; in contrast; by contrast; on the contrary; similarly; likewise; like; conversely; rather than; instead; on the other hand; equally; nevertheless; nonetheless; unlike; still; in the same way; compared with...

4. 因果类

as a result; since; because(of); thanks to; due to; owing to; for this reason; hence; thus; therefore; on this/that account; on account of; consequently

5. 总结类

总结法是指在表达了一个观点或举了一个例子后,进行总结、给出概括,

这类关联词有:

in this case; according to; in a word; in brief; in short; to sum up

大学英语四级考试模拟试卷及参考答案(第 一套) Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is foll owed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fou r choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and ma rk the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method o f answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships betwee n observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to o rganize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniq ues, and procedures for implementing the finding of science. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progr ess in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comp rehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy an d certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or disli kes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover m ay shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unple asant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of re fusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

初中语文命题作文写作技巧

初中语文命题作文写作技巧 第一:命题作文的定义 命题作文是指给出明确的作文题目,要求考生根据题目选择材料、组织材料、确立中心进行写作。 从目前来看,虽然近年来命题作文比例在逐渐下降,但因为它能够客观、全面地考查学生的写作能力和水平,所以在中考作文题中仍具有举足轻重的地位。 第二:如何写好命题作文 1审题:要做到“三明确”: (1)明确写作范围 只有明确了写作范围,才能更好地挑选材料。命题作文中题目一般有以下几个特点: ①多义型题目,即题眼具有多个意义,写作既可围绕本义写也可围绕比喻义和引申义展开如“开端”,既可写一日生活开端一一晨,又可写一年四季的开端——春天,还可写万事皆有开端,另外,开端还蕴涵希望,这里的开端不能单纯理解为做某事的开始。 ②一义型题目,即题目意思只局限于它的本义,写作围绕它的本义展开。如“责任”,由于词义的局限,我们可围绕我们的责任,写做一个有责任的人。 ③修辞型题目,如题目用比喻修辞手法为题。审题时要审清哪些内容能够作为比喻的本体。如:“为自己竖起大拇指”,文中的大拇指可指代人受到鼓励、表扬与赞美,或写自己有决心,有信心,有志气等。 (2)明确写作限制 在充分理解命题的“题眼”后,应明确题目对写作的限制,以利于构思,选材时更加符合题目要求。如:“我的另一片天地”,题目中的“天地”,所选择的范围很广,它可以是我的学习生活,也可以是家庭生活。但由于限制语“另一片”就使得写“天地”时,必须选取一些富有个性特征的材料。 (3)明确写作要求

2立意与选材 命题作文除像其他形式作文一样对字数、书写和人物名称有所要求外,有时还对文体作出限制,有的明确指出写记叙文或议论文。虽然有的没有作出限制,但也要揣摩准题目适合于写哪一种文体。 文章的立意和选材可围绕题目“大题小做”“以小见大”“平中见奇”。 (1)大题小做 所谓“大题”,是指题目限制大,要求宽,考生在选材上要注意选出自己最熟悉、最有感受、最有意义的一个“侧面”或某一点来写,从而显现出“大”的主题和精神境界来。如:“交往”在选材上就具有广阔的空间,写事也可以写自己与陌生人、老师、朋友、同学的交往,也可以写与交友相关的某些道理和准则等。在选材时要从中筛选出印象最深、最有趣、最想写也最有意义的内容,选取一个侧面进行立意,将“宽”的“交往”加以限制,使之“大题目小做”。如:“童年交友二三事”“交友法则”“交友的乐趣”“忘年交”。 (2)“平中见奇”围绕题目选材,要注意选取一些富有特征的,平凡中寓含“不平凡”即“奇”的材料。 3布局谋篇 文章写作除一般结构,如记叙文按照事情的起因、经过、高潮、结果,议论文按照提出问题、分析问题、解决问题外,还可采用书信、日记、戏剧等形式,在叙事中可采取列小标题,截取生活片断组织文章结构。如“我希望有这样一个暑假”,小标题可以是充实的暑假、有趣的暑假、自由的暑假。 4语言表达 (1)更多地运用各种描写(神态、外貌、动作、语言)、修辞(比喻、拟人、排比),使语言形象、生动、鲜活,有气势。 (2)恰当运用成语、熟语和新鲜词语,使文章更具新鲜活力,更富有时代气息。 第三:命题作文审题范例

For question 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Media Selection for Advertisements After determining the target audience for a product or service, advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus our attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home. Internet, and direct mail. Television Television is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication.But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it. Television's influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. The Golf Channel, for instance.

They range from traditional outdoor activities such as playing ball games to all kinds of online ones. Some people think those various recreational activities brought by modern technology are great and necessary because they can help people relax from hard work and study and broaden people’horizon. However, some people think that too many recreational activities may have a bad effect on people’s lives. Some people may not resist some temptations and indulge themselves in those activities, such as the online games. At last they are lured away from their studies, work and interpersonal relationships. In my opinion, we should pay more attention to the advantages of various recreational activities and make the most of them to enrich our lives and broaden the scope of knowledge.

命题作文与非命题作文写作技巧

命题作文与非命题作文 命题作文:命题作文指出题者给出一个既定的题目,要求应试者根据这个给定题目进行写作的一种作文方式,可以是老师命题,也可以是同学之间相互命题。它有利于直接体现作文学习的意图,避免写作偏向某一方面,也有利于写作者在短时间内朝着一个目标思考,同时有利于作文批改和讲评。 半命题作文:半命题作文是将一个完整的命题省去一部分,变为一个不完整的命题,省去的部分由作者补充。这种题目从本质上讲,只是划定了一个写作范围,而把选材立意的自由留给了作者。 命题作文的特点 命题作文是我国传统的作文方式,至今仍有特殊的价值,有利于直接体现作文学习和配合阅读意图,有利于巩固和发展阅读收获,但同时命题作文也有局限性,容易使人产生对作文的畏难情绪。 1.从命题内容上来看,近年来全命题作文的命题内容呈现出丰富多彩的倾向,或贴近考生生活,关注个体成长,或启迪考生思考人生哲理,或引导考生聚焦社会热点。 2.从形式上来看,一般有两种形式,一是单纯以“命题”出现,前后没有提示或导语,二是以“提示语+命题”的形式出现,通过导语或提示语,为考生在审题和选材上作出了一定的引导,同样有较大的开放性和自由度。 半命题作文的特点 1.从命题内容上来看,近年来半命题作文也越来越贴近生活和社会热点话题。 2.从形式上看,它由文字部分和填空部分组成,有的题目前还有一段提示语,后面还有具体要求。有的命前半题,如:“现代科技带来的 --- ”,“我不再 --- ”等;有的命后半题,如“--- 的滋味”,“ ---之间”等;有的命首尾部分,如“当我面对---的时候”。 命题作文、半命题作文构成要素 1.事件:故事应用一个具体事件构成。 2.人物:主要角色和次要角色。 3.场面:构成故事发展的环境:(1)时间;(2)地点;(3)环境特征;(4)人物与环境的关系。 4.主题:中心思想。 5.故事风格:故事被处理的效果。 命题作文写作技巧 1.抓题眼,把握表意重心。只有抓住了关键性词语,才能体现文章的特色,写出更好的作文。一般来说,偏正短语结构重在修饰语部分,如:《有意义的生活》,其表意的重心在“有意义”三个字上,审题时紧扣“有意义”三个字思考就可以了。 2.明限制,确定选材范围。限制的内容大致有时间、地点、对象、内容、数量等,审题时要弄清楚,作文时则不能越“雷池”半步。 3.展联想,深入挖掘主旨。充分发挥想象和联想,以题目为载体,向深层次挖掘,使自己的作文有深度,这也是得高分的重要一环。 4.巧构思,化抽象为具体。 选材若太宽太泛,会给人“空”或“浮”的感觉,要解决这一问题,不妨采取“化大为小”、“化虚为实”或“化宽为窄”的方式,从细微处,具体生动地展现对生活的感悟。 5.炼语言,注重个性化表达。 语言是作文最外在最鲜活的东西,无论是平实朴素的,还是充满文学韵味的,锤炼语言,使表情达意确切、形象、简约而意韵丰富,应是不懈的追求。 半命题作文写作技巧 1.从自己熟悉的生活下手。

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17. Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be
