3. 四级作文简述
一、语言障碍
初练英语写作的人,总是感到意思无法顺畅表达,心里憋得难受。脑子里一会儿用英语思考,一会儿又不得不借助汉语把思路理清楚。思路理顺后,又苦于找不到恰当的词语和句型。甚至想好了某个词语,可又拿不准拼得对不对。一篇短短一两百字的作文,写得异常辛苦。写完一读,竟然连自己也不明白写的是什么。练习:
我 的 时 间 观
时间就是生命。常言说:一寸光阴一寸金。的确,钱用完了可以再挣。但时间一去将永不复返。从这一点上说,时间是无价的。
我们都知道,生命是短促的,时间也是有限的。因此,很多人能够利用一切可利用的时间努力学习和工作。以便在有生之年多做一点力所能及的事。但也有一些人,终日无所事事,胡思乱想,或闲聊着打发日子。到头来,这些人终将追悔莫及。
年青人都有自己的理想和抱负。要使理想和抱负变为现实,就必须抓紧时间。为了充分利用时间,最好制定一个可行的时间表。必须做到今日事今日毕。此外,业余时间也可以充分利用。总之,科学地利用时间,必将得到最大的回报。
My View On Time
Time is life. A Chinese proverb says, “Time is as precious as gold.” Actually, when money is spent, it can be regained. But when time is gone, it will never come back. In this sense, time is invaluable.
It is generally acknowledged that life is short and time is limited. So many people will try to make the best use of their time to study and work. In this way they can accomplish as much as they wish during their lifetime. But some people just idle away their time by daydreaming or talking nonsense. Surely, it will be too late for them to repent when they come to know the value of time.
Young people should be ambitious. To reach one’s goal, a person must spend his time efficiently. In order to make the full use of time, it is advisable to work out a feasible timetable for things to be done. We are not supposed to leave today’s work till tomorrow. Moreover, an awareness of the odds of time is very important. On the whole, it pays to spend time scientifically.
2.词汇量与作文
大学英语作文涉及的多为日常话题,因而日常词语也使用较多。如果能把自己熟悉的日常词语用好用活,则足以充分表达自己的意思。
有一篇四级作文,题目是“An Early Morning Walk”,看看一位学生的习作:
An Early Morning Walk
One morning I got up very early, and everything around was very quiet. The morning star was still high up in the blue sky. (描述清晨天气晴朗好不一定说“It was a sunny day.) No people were in sight. (静悄悄见不到人) Somewhere there came the singing of unknown birds. (试比较The birds are singing in the trees.) Walking on the street, I could feel the smell of the early morning. (感受到清晨的气息)
But when I arrived at the park, I was surprised to see many people there. Some boys and girls were playing merrily (欢快地) on the grass. Some young people were doing morning exercises. Some old men and women were practicing Taiji boxing by the lake.
I never expected (没料想到) that the morning world was so charming (迷人), and I became to understand those people who were enjoying themselves in the garden. I myself also felt alive and free (精神抖擞,心旷神怡) after the walk. Taking early morning walk makes a man healthy and happy.
多掌握同义词语
作文最怕用词单调。平时练习作文甚至记单词时就得有一种意识,很多概念是可以用不同词汇来表达的。绝不能仅仅因为知道用一个词儿或短语来表达某个意思就满足了。应多想一想,或者查一查词典,看是否还有其它的同义词语。运用多了,词汇就会越来越丰富。

句型在作文中的实际运用
The above chart indicates the student use of computers in a certain university from 1990 to 2002. In 1990, the average number a student spent on computer was 2 hours per week. This was later doubled in 1995. But when it comes to 2002, the average number of hours is increased dramatically by five times, which means a student spends 20 hours using computer per week. The following reasons may account for the change.
First, some courses are now taught in the form of multi-medium lecturing, such as English, mathematics and philosophy. For these courses, students needn’t go to the traditional classroom, instead, they just learn them on computer. Second, with the popularity of computer, the price is lower than ever before. A high quality computer just costs no more than 6,000 Yuan and many students can afford a computer. The most important is that the Internet has greatly changed the way in students’ life and study. After class, students can enjoy exciting music and entertaining movies on the computer. Moreover, they can get a great deal of information for their home assignment, papers and experiments.
It is true that computer has offered great convenience to students. But it is also true that some students tend to spend too much time playing on computer. Common sense tells us that endless computer games and on-line chat will surely do great harm to students’ health and study. Also, the knowledge of computer operation is required for a number of students. Computer is a science and it doesn’t only mean a simple tool for editing and playing. There are indications that a student who knows much about computer will surely welcomed in a company or a modern factory.

英语作文对句子的要求
要写好句子,应注意以下几个方面:
1. 句子要有明确的主语和谓语以及其它必要的成分。
2. 尽量用自己熟悉和能够把握的句型。
3. 句子的长、短要适当。不能因怕出错而都写短句,也不可追求长得不知所云的句子。
4. 句子成分不要总是主、谓、宾。要讲究一定变化。以增强可读性。
段落中的句子常由简单句,复合句和复杂句交错构成,既是为了表达意思的需要,也可以使句子读起来不会呆板、枯燥。仔细阅读下文,特别注意每一句的开头。
Home Computers
In recent years computers have entered more and more families in China. Many people find that computer have brought them with great convenience and enjoyment. It is true that a home with a good computer may function like a library, a mini-school, a post-office, an office and a place for entertainment.
With the assistance of home computers, people can enjoy reading and writing in a new way. They can even do banking and shopping at home. In addition, one can communicate directly with many places in the world and get rich information very quickly. If one is tired from his work, he can listen to music, watch films or play games through computer.
However, home computer can cause some problems. Frequent contact with computer at home leads to one’s detachment from the society. Gradually, a person may indulge himself with a virtual world. Moreover, children who are addictive to computer games will have trouble in study and life. Home computer will be a good helper if we use it properly, otherwise, it can become a killer.
句子的运用和变化
学会运用不同句型(不同词语)来表达意思,既有助于避免单调和重复的句式,也可以使自己的意思得到生动和准确的表达。
1) 用连接词语开头
(1) Obviously, a man with poor health cannot expect to enjoy a happy life.
(2) Undoubtedly, mobile phone has made it possible for people to communicate with each other conveniently at any time and any place.
(3) Admittedly, young people may have different attitude toward life.
(4) Surely, students who have a good mastery of computer knowledge will have a better chance in their future career.

(2) Traveling, a good way of relaxation and entertainment, is really attractive to young people.
(3) A student playing computer games all day long will not be able to concentrate himself on his study.
(4) Any wealthy person who does not take care of health may find that his wealth can become meaningless.
3) 假设句
1) If Winter is here, can Spring be far behind?
2) A person will surely win the others’ trust and respect if he is honest.
4) 强调句
1) Only by constant practice shall we write English composition well.
2) Never will a person overcome his difficulties in his studies if he has no confidence.
5) 学会用不同句型表达相同的意思
(汉语)语言不是随便可以学好的, 非下苦功不可。
1) It is not easy to learn a language and a good command of a language requires great efforts.
2) Great efforts are needed if one wants to learn a language well.
3) The mastery of a language is far from easy and requires painstaking efforts.

4) An idea can be expressed by using different sentence patterns.
5) Various sentence patterns are available if we want to express a same idea.
6) It is possible to express an idea by means of different sentence patterns.
段落的构成
1) 四、六级作文段落的类型:
(1) a. 描述某一现象 (如: 伪劣商品)
b. 原因分析
c. 解决的途径
(2) a. 阐述某一共知的道理 (如: 诚信的重要)
b. 说明道理
c. 总结
(3) a. 描述某一现象 (如: 数字的迷信)
b. 原因探讨
c. 此现象的危害性
(4) a. 某些人对一事物的看法
b. 另一些人对该事物不同的看法
c. 我的观点
段落主题句基本概念
主题句是论说文或说明文段落中概括说明段落中心思想或主要内容的核心句子。是构成英语段落的重要手段。主题句既可以帮助作者不偏离段落主题, 也可以使读者迅速了解段落大意。例如:
If a person expects to do things successfully, he should first of all have confidence. It is the confidence that enables a person to face the obstacles or drawback that stand in his way. In fact, one can hardly accomplish anything if he has doubt about his ability in whatever he does. When one’s confidence is shaken, he tends to become discouraged and depressed when tackling a problem, and chances are that he may fail to do what he could. In contrast, a person who never loses heart will succeed in what seems impossible.
此段的第一句即是主题句。指出 “成功必须要有自信心”。而该主题句的内涵(为什么自信心往往可以决定成败)则由该段其它句子来进一步说明。
主题句的结构
主题句由两个部分构成;一部分是Topic (该段要讨论的话题),另一部分是 Controlling Idea (围绕话题待展开的内容)。例如:
(1) If an English learner really wants to have a good command of the English Language, he should first of all learn how to speak the language.
(2) The cross-century talents should be equipped with the knowledge of modern science and technology, sensitive to the development of the society, cooperative and competitive in their work.
检验主题句有一个较为简便的方法。即针对句子用Why? (待解释) 和How? (待描述)设问,如果能够解答,则可基本认定为主题句。如果难以解答,或答案很荒谬,则不是主题句。例如:
Wealth is very important in one’s life.
(why? 可解答)
Happiness does not mean the same to different people.
(why? 可解答)
She told me that I couldn’t make progress if I didn’t work hard.
(why? 不必解答)
The lady is my mother.
(why? 不好解答)
8.段落内容的展开和主题句的拓展方式
1) 设问法 对主题句用why?(解释原因)或 How? (描述细节)设问,然后把段落主题句作为一个总的问题以解释、讨论或描述的方式来给予解答。实践证明, 作文难写,但如果换一种思维,把写作分解为问与答, 则作文就好写多了。例:
Friends are really important to us. (why?)
We are sure to suffer a great deal from loneliness if we have few friends. When we are distressed, we need friends to comfort us. When our friends can share something interesting or pleasurable with us, we will be very happy. If we are in trouble or feel disheartened, we can gather strength from the encouragement of our friends. When we have done something helpful to our friends, we will enjoy the pleasure of devotion. In a sense, friends are just like air and water to people’s life.
Everyone seeks happiness. But people may have different views on what happiness actually means. (how?)
People may have different opinions about what happiness actually means. As for me, happiness comes from an ideal job, a warm family and enough time for leisure. An ideal job will enable a person to demonstrate his ability and enjoy the success in his career. A warm family serves as a good place where a person can get comfort after busy work. If we can get time to go traveling, play with friends or just have a good rest. We will be very happy.
2) 连续设问:写好主题句后,用连锁问答方式完成段落。这样,不但把错综复杂的思维表达化解为前后相接的简便的问与答的模式,以便于有效地展开论述,而且能有效地保持句子间的连贯性和逻辑性。例如:
It is generally acknowledged that writing is an important and practical skill needed by people in different fields. (Why?) Many jobs require the ability to write. (How?) Corporate leaders agree that despite the increasing use of the telephone and the computer, much information must still be communicated in the form of writing. (Any examples?) For example, managers, engineers, sales representatives, and countless others are supposed to write regularly as part of their jobs. (What should they write?) Summaries, reports, proposals, letters, and speeches are required in today’s world of work. (so what?) The ability to write, therefore, is a marketable skill, and the individual who is successful in his or her profession is almost always the one who can communicate successfully in writing.
3) 两分法 人们都习惯用一分为二的方法分析和看待事物。用这种方法来展开段落,既便于操作,也具有较强的逻辑性和说服力。例如:
I have learned English for almost ten years, but it is difficult for me to have a good command of the language. For one thing, I just learn English by memorizing many rules. Rules are important. But rules don’t always tell us how to use English properly in given situation. For another, I fail to understand that the study of a language is to communicate rather than compete for good grades. Admittedly, I have a comparatively large vocabulary, but I often feel at a loss for words when I try to speak or write. In fact, to learn a language is not so difficult, but to apply what one has learned about a language is far from easy.
4) 反证法 从反面来论证由主题句提出的观点,用反面的事实来证明某一观点的正确性,使自己的论述更有说服力,也利于段落的展开。
People generally believe that a life without leisure is really terrible. A person who works day and night will gradually feel rather tired. This tiredness, if continues for quite long time, tends to depress the person. As a result, he will find his work or even his life become a burden. In the end, he will think that life is meaningless and he tends to become restless or crazy. As we know, “ Too much work without play makes Jack a dull boy”. Therefore, no matter how busy a person is, he is supposed to arrange some time for leisure. Leisure is a good medicine that will relax us and help people get rid of anxiety and oppression from work or life.
以上介绍的几种方法均具有较好的可操作性,但必须多加实践,灵活掌握,综合运用。更重要的是,应注意语言能力的培养和知识的积累,否则,所谓的方法和技巧都会无济于事。
练习:试用上述方法写出以下段落:
1. 凡事都要有信心
2. 没有休闲的生活是可怕的
3. 人人都希望有健康的身体
9. 中文提示作文及写作方法
写中文提示作文的关键在于仔细审题,明了题目要求之后,第一步是应根据提示的内容先写好段落主题句。完成了这一步,下面的事就好办了。写主题句应注意两个问题。一是相对段落其它句子而言,主题句应留有发展的余地,否则堵了自己的路,话题难以打开。例如:
Knowledge is very important to us because without knowledge we can’t do things well.
主题句不能太笼统,否则段落内容就很难把握,甚至无从下笔。例如:
It is good for us to read books, but some books are very bad.
(2) A good student is one who to studies diligently and often gets high scores.
(3) Everyone dreams to become a great man and win the respect of others.
10.怎样写主题句
主题句的表达方式有几种,可根据作文的内容和自己的造句能力来考虑和选择。以下面的两个作文题为例:
On Making Friends
1. 人人都需要朋友
2. 真正的友谊
3. 我交友的原则
直接表达式 这种方式多用简单句,毫不拖泥带水,直奔主题。
On Making Friends
1. Friends are important to us。
2. But real friendship is not easy to come by.
3. A friend in need is a fiend indeed.
强调式
强调有倒装,it前置,反问,关键词语重复等。考试作文中,用it引导的主题句最常见。因为这类句式便于操作,也颇为实用。例如:
It is certain that a man without friends will suffer a great deal from solitude.
2. It is not difficult to make friends, but it is not easy to obtain real friendship.
3. Hopefully, from my friend I will learn a lot and to my friends I can offer what I should.
条件句式
为避免句式过于单调,还可以用表条件的主题句引出段落出题。这种句式便于先引出话题,再进一步提出观点。
If a person wants to live a happy life, he should have some friends.
2. Of all the things in making a friend, the most important is true friendship.
3. If I am to choose a friend, I will undoubtedly follow the principle that we should devote to each other.
11.考试作文的写作步骤与方法
一旦拟定好主题句,便可根据主题句的大意草拟一个列举式提纲。例如:
The Importance of leisure
1. 没有休闲的生活是难以想象的
2. 不懂得休闲的人工作起来难以高效
3. 因此
主题句1.:§a. It is really terrible if a person just keep working without any leisure.
a. boring
b. depressed
c. makes people crazy
主题句2:§Surely, a person who knows little about leisure can never expect to work effectively.
a. lack relaxation
b. difficult to concentrate
c. make mistakes
主题句3:§Therefore, anyone who intends to work effectively should always keep in mind that leisure
a. helps a great deal in doing work.
b. leisure is healthful
c. leisure prepares one to work more energetically
如果英语来得较慢,也可以用中文。例如:
My Idea of a Happy Life
幸福生活的不同标准
金钱、奢华
健康、事业
热爱生活、享受生活
2. 我认为幸福生活有三个方面
a. 事业有成
全家和睦
C. 知足
12. 段落之间的关系
文章的各个段落既自成体系,又必须相互协调和照应,以利于全文主题思想的表达。一般来说,因为不同的位置,段落的功能也有所不同。以常见的三段式作文为例:
Competition
Competition is universal in human society. Anyone who wants to be the winner of a match, a game or a contest has to compete against others. People of different careers compete for higher salary and promotion. Students compete with each other in entrance examinations and job-hunting. Admittedly, a person is compelled to make progress constantly because of competition.
However, it is often the case that competition goes hand in hand with cooperation. A team in ball games can hardly beat the other one without good cooperation. Many companies, in co-operation with other corporations or colleges, have greatly expanded their own business. There is no doubt that a man’s ability is finite. It is only by cooperation that people can achieve greater success.
Competition should be encouraged. In fact, competition agrees with the law of human evolution. Without competition, it will be impossible to bring people’s potential into a full play. Meanwhile, we should also attach great importance to cooperation. Otherwise, we can hardly expect to accomplish anything in modern society.
作文的第一段从不同角度概述了竞争的普遍性。第二段则讨论竞争与合作是相辅相成的。结尾段指出二者均不可偏废。第一段的论述为第二段的引伸打下了基础,而第三段则依据前面两段的阐述而做出结论。可见,段落之间存在着必然的联系。 |
