写作训练之一宝典.docVIP

写作训练之一：宝典大学英语四级考试作文如何分配时间？很多考生拿到作文题目之后直接就动笔开写，这是一个误区。其实30分钟的写作时间绝对绰绰有余，如果直接开写，很容易会造成跑题，或写到一半发现无话可说的现象，导致考生开始绞尽脑汁的编句子，凑字数。那么，应该如何分配考试的写作时间呢？建议考生把30分钟的时间分成三部分。1准备时间（5分钟）如果没有充分的准备，看完作文题目就直接动手写，会让考生写到最后无话可说。俗话说得好：磨刀不误砍柴工。所以，何不分出一点时间让自己好好地思考该怎么写呢？在这充足的5分钟内，先审题，看清题目要求，免得写偏题了。然后进行一个提纲和内容的构思，想清楚自己文章的大致结构，是否需要举例说明等等。2撰写时间（20分钟）在正式写作的时候，也要注意以下几点：（1）如无把握，宁愿写简单句也不写长难句。（2）卷面整洁。清晰明了的段落和结构、工整的字迹会给阅卷老师留下深刻的正面印象；如果一不小心写错单词，千万不要涂黑，一笔划掉就好。3检查时间（5分钟）由于考试时间和条件等诸多因素的限制，考生写作的时候会出现很多问题，于是这就需要在写完后进行一个检查了。主要检查以下三个点：（1）拼写是否正确。看文章中是否有拼错的单词、多余的符号和写掉的介词等等。（2）用词和搭配是否正确。（3）语法是否正确。主要是人称、时态、语态是否正确，有没有出现本应用过去时态却用的是现在时，动词的第三人称单复数是否用正确了。大学英语四级写作高分“五步法”一、了解英语写作的测试目的，准确把握题目的要求英语写作测试，其实主要还是要考查学生组织英语语言的能力和用英语表达思想的能力，体裁不外乎议论文，说明文和应用文，主题也是在大学生熟知话题基础上的翻新或扩展。 综观历年的四级作文真题，变化趋势是从三段论的议论文向实用性更强的应用文体，尤其是书信写作方面倾斜。考生平时应有意识地就他们感兴趣的一些话题进行思考和拓展，争取在实践中磨练敏锐的审题能力。二、迅速梳理写作的思路，列出并借助提纲进行写作到了大学阶段，学生还是非常善于思考的，他们不仅想象力非常丰富，晚上做梦，还经常daydream, 各有独特的思维和写作思路。但是，如何将千头万绪的思路梳理清楚，学生则必须有真工夫。为此，在进行四级写作时，考生一定要首先形成自己的观点，之后合理运用一些手段，如常用的有四种：陈述理由、举例说明、提供数据、下定义等，之后充分就此展开论说。这样通过高效思考，严密组织，再辅以提纲形式的文章架构，考生一定会写出较符合规范的文章。三、扩展写作提纲，草拟文稿，表述主要观点在利用提纲展示个人写作思路的基础上，学生还应充分利用现有的英语水平，按照一定的逻辑思路，充分表达个人的观点。写作之初，学生不必字斟句酌，只要脉络清楚，具备轮廓就可以了。草拟文章的过程实际是把思维结果外在化的过程，学生应力争使文章具有连贯性和流畅性。草拟过程的顺利与否，在很大程度上取决于平时训练所达到的水平。许多考生畏惧作文，经常懒于动笔；还有一些考生认为写作很难提高，干脆放弃平时的训练。这些想法都是错误的。为真正提高写作水平，笔者建议大家从开始准备四级的那天起，就应有针对性地分体裁、分话题、分阶段地进行实战模拟，强迫自己一气呵成将文章写完，不必追求完美，不必在乎自己的文稿到底语言有多么不地道或出现多少语法错误。熟能生巧。只要坚持多写、多练，平时注意扩大阅读，写作的水平自然就会提高。四、在反复揣摩的基础上，完善文章的草稿自己修改作文是个好习惯，从训练之初就应注重在这个方面下功夫。修改作文必须从下面几个方面把握：注意句式结构的变化（要背诵一定的经典句型，而且要能够注意套改这样的优美句型）。例如：Not because I love Caesar less, but because I love Rome more（不是我不爱凯撒，而是我更爱罗马）。需要指出的是，虽然习作中应注意使用优美或地道的句子，但不可简单地堆砌；句子长短也要错落有致，应包含一些相对复杂的句式，同时避免犯一些基础性的语言错误。此外，学生还要注意文中运用的英语表达必须是简单且地道的（即easy but right English）。实际上，所谓这类的表达法界于词汇与句子之间，可称为语汇（英语中可用chunk来表达）。为了提高书面语言表达的地道性，学生应经常记忆这样的语汇，如an effective system for environmental protection和an effective system to protect the environment等。笔者在此处提出这个概念，且希望同学们加强这方面语汇的记忆，是因为太多的中国考生经常使用汉语的语法、英语的单词来组合一些中式（chinglish）表达。例如：高手（high hand）地道的英语表达是master hand; 老手（old hand）地道的英语表达则是seasoned hand；能手（can hand）的地道表达则是skillful hand, 以及you go me go, you no go me no go 等。至于如何做到语言表达地道，笔者认为只有一种办法，那就是大量阅读，分类摘抄，在具体的语境中有针对性地体验英语表达。五、正确把握遣词造句的原则正确选择词汇非常重要，考生切不可盲目地追求大词、生词。其实，四级作文要求考生选词范围尽可能灵活宽泛，但非常忌讳以辞害义，如果能够用decrease，就别用plummet（也是下降的意思）。那么考生到底怎样才能利用有限的词汇资源，写出比较鲜活的英语作文呢？笔者在此推荐如下使用词汇技巧：1、尽量使用同义词避免简单重复如“增加”可用 increase, rise, grow, climb, go up, soar等；“重要”可用 important, critical, vital, significant, crucial等。2、尽量使用词性变化来丰富自己的表达手段和汉语一样，变化词性也是丰富英语表达的重要途径，是学习者提高英语水平的重要标志。英语学习者如果能够用to voice some different opinions 来替代to give/express some different opinions; 或to double/triple 来表示翻倍或增加三倍则会使文章在表达上更为形象而生动。3、尽量使用派生形式来点缀文章亮点英语的构词特点就是使用前缀、后缀来完成灵活多变的语言特色。例如，it is of great importancehelp/use/significance 来替代 it is very important/significant/helpful/useful 本身就是英语水平的一个综合展示。另外，考生作文如果能够出现not unnecessary/not unimportant 来表达非常重要或者必要，则更能显示考生的英语功底。六、灵活运用句式变化的规则前面也提过，四级作文长度要求不少于120个词，按考生作文句子的平均长度11个词估算，一般需要1012 个句子。在四级作文评分标准里，对于句子长度虽然没有具体描述和量化给分，但是阅卷老师一般都会给文章里使用正确的长句子加上印象分，也会给错落有致的句式变化以奖励分数，如果考生能够在作文中恰当地使用一定难度的复杂句子，则更能起到锦上添花的作用。在写作训练中，考生其实可以欣赏范文，摘录名句，改装结构，模仿使用，直到熟练运用。笔者认为只要努力，下面的策略可以帮助立志争取作文高分的学生可以通过下面的几个措施来提高作文水平。1、欣赏范文，但不要囫囵吞枣式地整篇背诵。准备一个写作专用的笔记本，从范文欣赏中摘抄自己喜欢的、老师讲评的、值得推荐的句式结构。比如：I love you not because who you are, but because who I am when I am with you.（我爱你，并不是因为你是谁，而是因为我跟你在一起时的感觉。） Few People today, if any at all, would risk their lives swimming across the river dominated by flesh-eating crocodiles.（今天已经很少有人，如果还有的话，愿意冒生命危险游过那条鳄鱼出没的河流。）, If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.（如果你没能做计划，你就是计划着去失败。）2、模仿名句，但不要生搬硬套。准备足够的草稿纸，把自己摘抄来的名句（如有不懂，应当向明白人求教）拆卸八块，然后重新组合，如是反复数次，直到熟练，甚至于可以自如组装，灵活运用。比如：上面的句子学生就可以在熟练掌握的基础上分别演绎出：I suggest that you choose English as your major not because it is easier to learn, but because it is promising when you take better prospect of employment into account.（我建议你选择英语专业，并不是因为她学起来更容易，而是因为她更有前景，如果你考虑到更好的就业机会。）；Most of the students, if not all, are likely to be absorbed in PC games such as counterstrike, which is more frequently known as CS（大多数学生，如果不是所有的学生，很可能被诸如反击这样的电脑游戏所吸引，这种游戏经常被更多的人叫做CS。）.3、巧用心思，套用经典句型。鼓起勇气，说出自己想说的话，如果是母语，可能还好办，换成英语，大家最怕的是出错，出错扣分当然不好。但是利用经典句型组装一些长句子、靓句子和复杂句子对作文高分非常有帮助。比如作文开头常用句型：It is undoubted that ; There is no doubt that; Undoubtedly, there is; It is beyond doubt that .4、写作是学生英语运用水平的具体体现，写作的功夫又是通过阅读、欣赏、模仿等具体手段训练出来的。写作过程中间很多实用技巧，需要读者舍得花时间、花精力、花心思去挖掘、去发现。2013年12月大学英语四级高分作文常用句式11.表示坏处1) It has more disadvantages than advantages.2) It does us much harm.3) It is harmful to us.例如：However，everything divides into two.
