大学英语写作高分训练

Cathy 大学英语考试教学已经进行了20多年,写作被放到了极其重要的位置。但是,大批高校学生在写作方面仍然面临着种种问题,比如词汇量有限、逻辑思维不严谨、结构布局混乱、英文表达苍白以及中式语言思维等问题。英语高分作文的奥秘何在?我们充分研究写作的基本技术和应试的要略并结合多年的阅卷经验,为考生推荐以下高分训练方法。

1、紧扣主题,构思简单(写什么)

英语考试一直在朝标准化客观化努力,因此英语作文部分是一种控制性写作(Controlled Writing),往往会给出一个三点或是两点的提纲,考查的目标不是考生的思维水平或逻辑分析能力,而是考核语言表达能力。所以建议采取的措施是,简化自己的思维和分析。也就是,如何降低自己的思维水平,来迎合自己有限的语言状况。

误区一:抓笔就写,意识流,折磨阅卷老师

误区二:做深思状,掏心掏肺,其结果只是让阅卷老师无比郁闷

误区三:思想贫乏,无话可说

2004年作文题:Is Pressure a Bad Thing?

1:许多人害怕压力。

2:但是压力并不一定是坏事情。

3:如何应付压力。

2003年作文题:Shortage of Fresh Water.

1:人们以为淡水是取之不尽的。

2:实际上水是非常紧张的。

3:我们应该采取什么方法来解决这个问题。

2003年统考作文题:

目前,大学生找工作不容易。许多人呼吁老师减少传统课程,多开设一些注重培养学生实际能力的课程。谈谈你对此事的看法。2003年统考作文题:Organization Saves Time and Energy

1:学习和工作负担十分繁重。

2:如何采取措施应付这种情况。

3:合理安排时间可以提高工作效率。

综合以上分析,我们总结出审题过程中要注意的三个层面:

主题层面:文章要围绕着什么去论述?什么内容是本文的核心话题?

拓展层面:如何展开文章打通思路?题目需要我们朝哪些环节深入?

道德层面:逻辑上符合不等于道德上符合,命题者要求的思维一定具有积极健康道德的元素,立场应当尽量符合命题人的态度。

2、结构合理,框架意识(如何写)

英语写作,特别是入学考试的写作,基本属于控制命题模式。除了主题被限定以外,每一段的内容也被命题人所限定,所以考生需要做的就是按照固定模式创作。段落篇章写作就是topic sentence加上supporting detail。

1)topic sentence

国有其君,家有其主,文章也要有其主。否则会给人造成“群龙无首”之感!相信各位读过一些破烂文学,故意把主体隐藏在文章之内,结果造成我们稀里糊涂!不知所云!所以奉劝各位一定要写一个主题句,放在文章的开头(保险型)或者结尾,让读者一目了然,必会平安无事!如:

People can avoid catching a cold by taking certain precautions.

The harmfulness of examination-oriented education should not be neglected.

It is high time to take firm steps to put an end to the unhealthy trend of fake commodity.

一个有效的主题句必须包含两个要素:topic和controlling idea。例如:

People give many reasons for owning a car.

主题是“owning a car”,核心内容则是“reason”,接下来所有这一段的内容都应该围绕“reasons for owning a car”来展开。最常见的写主题句的表达有:

the reasons (causes, factors ) for the steps for (the procedure for )

the advantages of (the disadvantages of ) the ways to (the methods of )

the different sections (parts, kinds, types ) of the characteristics (traits, qualities ) of

the problems of the precautions for

Practice:

Your topic sentence should tell the reader what the paragraph is about. Read the following paragraph and decide whether the topic sentence is strong or weak. If it is a weak sentence, please replace it with a strong one.

Baseball is a popular sport in the United States. There are two teams of nine players each. Players on one team take turns batting, and the other team tries to put the batters out. The batter hits the ball and then tries to run around the bases and get “home” safel y. The other team tries to put the batter out by catching the ball before it hits the ground, throwing the ball to the base before the batter gets there or by tagging the batter with the ball. The batter can stop at any one of the three bases if it is impossible to make it “home”.

Even though the procedures followed to enroll in an American university vary according to each university, some steps are the same. First, you should contact the registration office to get the necessary forms and information concerning the entrance requirements. Then you must follow the steps outlined in their response. You will probably have to send copies of your high school diploma, get letters of recommendation, and write an essay on why you want to study there. You may have to achieve a certain score on the TOEFL test and have your scores forwarded to the university. Finally, you will have to contact the American embassy to start the procedures to obtain a student visa.

I like to go to the beach whenever I have the opportunity. I start the day by enjoying a refreshing swim. Then I walk along the beach and collect shells. Later you’ll find me relaxing in the warm sunshine and making sand castles. Then I sleep for a while before I open the basket of food and drinks that I always pack to take.

Many students cannot afford a car. The city bus services usually passes the university, so those students can get to class on the bus. Many universities have a special shuttle bus that is provided for student transportation. Some students like to ride to class on bicycles. This is good exercises. Also, it is easier to find a space to leave a bicycle than to find a parking space for a car on a crowded university campus. Those students who live close to campus or on campus can enjoy a leisurely walk to their classes.

Writing controlling ideas

1. . A classroom can give us only limited kinds of information. If we look at the beginning of civilization, for example, we will note that people back then did not have formal classrooms, yet many of them were well informed. There were no classrooms to teach the first men how to plant or how to build huts. The great early poets of the first and second centuries didn’t learn their poems in a clas sroom, nor did the women find out how to sew their clothes there.

2. . Sports can make us strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. Especially they can be of great value to people who work with their brains most of the day, for sports and games give people valuable practice in exercising the body.

3. . “ All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, just as the saying goes. So persons of all ages enjoy watching and taking part in various kinds of sports — tack and field, skating, swimming, volleyball, basketball, football, etc.

4. . Sports demand not only physical skill and strength but also courage, enthusiasm, discipline and usually teamwork. For boys and girls, what is learned in the playground often has a deep effect on their character. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.

写主题句保险的方法就是把中文提纲的各句译成英语。

Nowadays, with the advancement of modern life, a growing number of people are complaining about the fact that they are confronted with more and more burden from work as well as study.

The life pace is becoming faster and faster, so it is necessary for us to know how to deal with it.

It cannot be denied that time organization can improve efficiency.

如果要求句是英语就可以把它变成主题句,例如这样一篇作文:

Importance of good health

Ways to keep fit

My own practice

这样的作文的要求句就可以扩充成主题句。扩充后三段的主题句分别为:

It is very important to have good health .(将名词importance变成形容词important)

There are four ways to keep fit for me .(用there be 句型)

My own practices are the following .(采用原词)

Practice: Write a topic sentence for each of the following topics which should includes the topic and the controlling idea.

1.Internet Energy crisis

2.Dink family Self-confidence

3.Job interview Overseas study

2)supporting detail

除了主题阐释之外,还进一步要求作者要列举充分的论据和细节,作文一定要言之有物.可阐述原因,或给出三个例子或三个相关的方面,论述才能达到丰满的境界。一般而言,我们可以通过列举法、举例法、对比(比较法)和因果分析法来拓展中段。头脑风暴练习——每天关注一条国内时事新闻,或是校园、街头观察到的特殊社会现象,并且开始联想背后所隐藏的三个原因。如果只想到一至两点还不够,想到三点就获得了真正的思维成功。

People can avoid catching a cold by taking certain precautions.

a.Avoid people with colds

b.Get plenty of sleep

c.Take vitamin C

The harmfulness of examination-oriented education should not be neglected.

a.Not effective way to learn about students

3) developing a paragraph

People can avoid a cold by taking certain precautions. Perhaps the most important precaution is to avoid people who already have colds so that you are not exposed to cold germs. You should also get plenty of sleep so that your resistance is strong. Finally, vitamin C supplement will ensure you are strong enough to fight against catching a cold.

领导讲话总是第一部分、第一点、第二点、第三点、第二部分、第一点… 如此罗嗦,可毕竟还是条理清楚。这些关键性的“标签”来判定你的文章是否结构清楚,条理自然。破解方法很简单,只要把下面任何一组的词汇加入到你的几个要点前就清楚了。

1)first, second, third, last(不推荐,原因:俗)

2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推荐,原因:俗)

3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推荐,原因:俗)

4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推荐,原因:俗)

5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(强烈推荐)

6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(强烈推荐)

7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(强烈推荐)

8)most important of all, moreover, finally

9)on the one hand, on the other hand(适用于两点的情况)

10)for one thing, for another thing(适用于两点的情况)

建议:不仅仅在写作中注意,平时说话的时候也应该条理清楚!

常见的连接词和过渡词能表征上下文内在逻辑关系:

1 前后意思一致:in other words, that is to say, namely, this means…, likewise,

2 并列平行:and, or, also, too, besides, another, in addition

3 递进:in addition to, adding to, moreover, furthermore, what’s more

4 强对比:unlike, differ from, on the other hand, on the contrary, conversely

5 强转折:but, yet, however, in fact, practically, virtually, indeed

6 让步:(al)though, despite, in spite of, while

7 因果:because, why, reason, and, due to, owing to, thus, by, since, consequence, as, for, because, for one thing… for another, so, thus, therefore, consequently, as a result

8 重要性:the most, chiefly, prime, have much to do with, I submit,

9 指代关系:it, this, that, those, these, one, so

10例证:for instance, for example, take …as an example

sample: People can avoid a cold by taking certain precautions. Perhaps the most important precaution is to avoid people who already have colds so that you are not exposed to cold germs. You should also get plenty of sleep so that your resistance is strong. Finally, vitamin C supplement will ensure you are strong enough to fight against catching a cold.

常见的框架模式:

对立观点模式;利弊分析模式;原因建议模式;例证模式;时间地点模式;多种组合模式

3、包装语言,提升层次(得高分)

言之无文,行而不远。语言作为评分原则中的基本要素之一,在四六级作文评分的整个过程中具有决定性作用。有评分老师甚至断言:“It is not what you say, it is the way that you say it.”(重要的并不在于考生写了些什么,而在于考生是怎么表达的。)虽然这种说法本身似乎有失偏颇,可是参加过国际标准化英语考试的同学应该也听说过那么一句话,叫做:“Giv e the monkey exactly what he wants.”(给阅卷老师最想要的。)考生还能在语言的细节上下一些功夫,作文的分数就会更上一层楼,所以语言要包装。英语作文的测试重点是考生的语言能力,因而在语言细节上下一点功夫就可以让考生展示自己的语言修养。

低档次:语言支离破碎、错误百出

中档次:语言中规中矩,错误不多但平淡乏味

高档次:语言精雕细刻、变化多端、妙语连珠

1)正确表达:简洁纯正

人山人海people mountain people sea (huge crowd of people);

好好学习,天天向上good good studay day day up (improve yourself everyday)

Practice:

1.The living level of the people in China has been greatly raised.

2.Traffic is a serious problem, and one of the reasons is that Shanghai has over ten million people.

3.My handwriting has made great progress.

4.With the improved design of advertisements, people’s interest in them has become more and more.

5.The cause of the accident was due to the uncareful driving.

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/9614962628.html,st Sunday my flat was stolen.

7. In my opinion, I think the owner is justified to do so.

8. We should study as much knowledge as possible so that we can be fully prepared for the future.

9. The living style has become more and more popular and accepted by more and more people.

10. It is time for us to revise educational system and then provide it to our society.

11. If we are watching too much TV, our reading ability will be seriously affected.

12. The society should take measures immediately to prevent pollution.

2)闪光词汇:丰富生动

在众多平庸的作文中,我们可能只用了一两个精彩表达就给考官留下了深刻的印象。一般来说,我们在四个方面可以做出努力。首先单词的应用应当准确到位(accuracy),各类表达中使用地道的搭配。如:

广博的的知识:extensive knowledge 优雅的手势:graceful gesture 订阅杂志:subscribe to a magazine

通过论文答辩:succeed in passing the thesis defense 参加课外活动:participate in extracurricular activities

另外,单词要有一定难度(difficulty),我们尽量把简单的表达替换成复杂的书面语表达。如主要的原因:main reasons。“主要的”可替换为:primary, essential, crucial, indispensable, fundamental。当然,单词的应用应当充满变化(variety),在同一篇作文中我们尽量使用不同的表达来替换。丰富多变的用词是文章最大的亮点,如:“如:“求职者”,可用说job hunter, candidate, applicant, perspective employee等等。另外,写作中还要讲究用词是否生动精彩(vividness),平淡的语言可以替换为栩栩如生的表达。

如今,虽然人们的寿命都有所延长,但每一天,在这个地球上仍然有相当数量的人同时死去。昨天,A国的国王死了。B国的宰相死了。C国的人民英雄死了。D国因为贫穷,许多婴儿在出生前就死了。E国的年轻科学家死了。F国的劳动模范在工作中死了。G国一位位文化作出杰出贡献的高僧死了。H国的XX恐怖分子死了。……

我们且以good为例:

使:The society still makes women unable to enjoy equal rights. ——Women are still denied equal rights.

越来越:More and more people realize that English is more and more important. —Students in growing number … increasingly..

More and more teenagers smoke cigarettes in recent years. —Teenager smoking is on the rise in recent years.

More and more teachers are demanded with the development of economy. —There is an increasing demand for teacher ….

不仅. .而且: The factors for more and more teenagers’ smoking are not only social but also psychological.

The factors for a rise in teenager smoking are psychological as well as social.

Old people go to the park not only to do exercises but also to make friends.—Old people go to park for companionship as much as for ….

3)句型选择:复杂多变

写好句子是提高写作水平的关键性步骤。衡量句子的标准多种多样,主要有:统一(unity)、强调(emphasis)、连贯(coherence)。

1月全国自考英语写作基础试题及答案解析

全国2018年1月高等教育自学考试 英语写作基础试题 课程代码:00597 I. Correct the errors in the following sentences.(改写病句)10% Example: After seeing an offensive mouthwash ad on television .I resolved never to buy that brand again. After seeing an offensive mouthwash ad on television, I resolved never to buy that brand again. 1.Those berries are poisonous don’t eat them. 2.Our city’s buildings are not as modern as your city. 3.To get ready for the trip, all the things she needed were put into a suitcase. 4.He told me that Mary had returned home for a week. 5.I read the book on the bus which did not interest me at all. II. Read the following passages and identify the topic sentence in each by underlining it.(阅读以下每段文章,然后在每段文章的主题句下划线。)20% 1. The biggest problem in ancient DNA reserch is getting the DNA in the first place. The favorite material to work with is bone, and a small chunk of it is best. Cells can lie inside the hard bone structure waiting to be liberated after the calcium has been dissolved away. That’s the easy bit. Getting the DNA out, what little of it that remains is horrendously difficult and many teams have succumbed to pitfalls in the past. The rule is that it has to be done in a clean room better than used to assemble spacecraft to go into deep space, and it has to be done away from any other source of potentially contaminating DNA. 2. Names usually have origins, especially for Indians. Indians with distinctive physical characteristics, might be given names such as Big Foot or Crooked Leg. If there had been a big storm on the day of a baby’s birth, the baby might have been named Thundercloud. Grey Eagle, Red-Dog, Big Bear, and Spotted Wolf are examples of Indian names after animals. 3. Many TV commercials imply that a woman’s self-esteem depends on her cleaning ability. In one commercial, we see a woman terribly upset because her guests find spots on her glassware. Countless other commercials blur out the message that a woman will pass muster as a person if her kitchen floor gleams and her toilet bowl is blue. This idiocy must work, because the images of women scrubbing, moping, waxing and smiling keep on coming over the air. 4. As human beings, we are constantly in the stage of change. Our bodies change everyday. Our attitudes are constantly evolving. Something we swore by five years ago is now almost impossible for us to imagine ourselves believing The clothes we wore a few years ago now look strange to us in old photographs. Everything is changing. This is a prediction I can make with absolute certainty. 1

大学英语六级写作经典范文及点评

大学英语六级写作经典范文及点评 大学生自我创业已经不是一个新鲜的话题了。那么自我创业有何利,又有何弊呢?看过本文之后你就知道了。或许这对面临毕业的你还是个不小的帮助呢! Self employment Self employment could bring many advantages. One of the advantages of being self-employed is that the profit the business makes belongs to the owner. If the self-employed person succeeds in business, he has the chance to earn a great deal of money. The profit earned is the reward for the owner’s effort, ability and creativity. Thus, a second advantage is that a person’s intelligence and abilities have a direct effect on the earnings. A third advantage of being self-employed is that a person can control his working hours. While not all self-employed people are completely free, most of them have more control over this area than the salaried people. However, being self-employed is not without problems. First, being one’s own boss places the responsibility directly on that individual shoulders. Everyone has some weaknesses in a certain aspects. These weaknesses will affect how successful a self-employed person is. Second, though the self-employed can earn considerable profits with a successful business, losses can force them out of business and sometimes, place them in debt. A third disadvantage concerns income security. Self-employed people have no guaranteed wage. Their earnings can vary greatly, depending on business conditions. Salaried people, however, can generally count on continued earnings. In addition, salaried people often enjoy fringe benefits that mean greater peace of mind. One of these b enefits may be insurance paid for by the employer that continues the employee’s salary in the event of sickness or accident while many self-employed people do not have such protection①. [253 words] 行文点评 文章结构简单明了。第一段阐述了自我创业的3个好处。第二段分析了自我创业所存在的问题。 两段中“first, second, third”的使用,不仅使文章在句式上显得条理分明,更在内容上体现了连贯性。 好文妙译 自我创业

大学英语A统考——写作(51套范文)汇编

大学英语A/统考——写作(51套范文) 1 Pollution is becoming more and more serious all over the world, and people's health is threatened. How to solve this problem remains one of the most important issues for each country. Write an essay on the topic "The Problem of Pollution". You should base your essay on the following outline. 1. 全球污染现象变得日益严重。 2. 全世界人民都非常关注这一现象。各国政府也采取了一定的措施来解决这一问题。 3. 我们应该怎么做。 I read a piece of news recently. It says that in Japan many businessmen are selling fresh air to customers, and now it is becoming increasingly popular. Why? Fresh air is getting less and less in Japan, and so is it in the U. S. A., China, India, etc. In fact, environmental pollution is a very serious problem the whole world is facing. It is largely caused by the waste products released from artificial substances, industrial production and increased consumption of goods. Besides, the use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes environmental pollution. Look at the sky, you can see that dense smoke is being released from the high and big chimneys; those dirty and poisonous substances are flowing into the rivers that we use for drinking water and millions of tons of waste products are heaping around us. Indeed, the earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our descendants. In my opinion, we should work out concrete solutions to the problem of pollution For example, poisonous gas given off by automobiles should be controlled by equipping them with a device which can dispose of waste gas so as to prevent it from polluting air. 2 Everyone in the world needs friendship. When he is happy, his friend can share his happiness; when he is in trouble, his friend can lend him a hand. Write an essay on the topic "My Ideal Friend". You should base your essay on the following outline. 1. 你心目中理想的朋友是什么样的。 2. 现实生活中你是否有这样的朋友以及你如何获得这样一个朋友。 3. 和好朋友相处应该注意哪些。 Friendship is the most valuable to every one in the world.
