自考 综合英语(二)作文题大全

1、根据本人自考考试经验，每次考试的作文题都不会很难，只要知道课文的基本内容，文中出现的人物性格，或者议论文的关键句子，一些outline，关键单词就不会有什么问题。比较难的议论文都不太会考（但不代表完全不会考，下列包括了31课全的作文资料，全都准备就万无一失）常用的一些语句：from my point of viewfor one thing，for anotherplay an important part/role in等（如果为了应负考试的话记住一组常用短语既可，当然你掌握的越多越好咯）可以在平时课文里累积.如果实在写不出为了凑字数的话可以选择相同意思但是单词数较多的短语，比如 becau

2、se 就可以用 on account of 都有因为的意思，等等.较高分的作文要求：短句、长句、从句结合。词汇尽量丰富，句子结构可以用一些倒装句或者强调句。不要过多用简单句。适当加一些适合的形容词副词来修饰。文章语句通顺，结构分明（可以分段写）。重点文章（往年重复考的文章）为红色标记不太可能考的为蓝色标记（不代表完全不考，可能性比较小而已）希望大家还是脚踏实地地把每课课后的写作练习做一遍，参考一些往年的例文，这些都有很大实践性的益处。祝大家考试顺利！ LESSON 1：Twelve Things I Wish They Taught at School1) are really deep qu
