1、,大学英语四级写作指导,2,考核要求,四六级大学英语写作考试时间均为30分钟,分值占总分的15%。 四级要求考生写出一篇不少于120词的短文,试卷上可能给出题目,或规定情景,或要求看图作文,或给出段首句要求续写;或给出关键词要求写成短文。 要求能够正确表达思想,意义连贯,无重大语法错误。写作的内容包括日常生活和一般常识。短文写作部分的目的是测试学生运用英语书面表达思想的初步能力。,大学英语四六级作文评分标准,(注:虽然现在作文不是15分满分,但作文分值仍然占整卷的20%左右) 2分条理不清,思路紊乱,语言支离破碎或大部分句子均有错误,且多数为严重错误。 5分基本切题。表达思想不清楚,连贯性差。
2、有较多的严重语言错误。 8分基本切题。有些地方表达思想不够清楚,文字勉强连贯;语言错误相当多,其中有一些是严重错误。 11分切题。表达思想清楚,文字连贯,但有少量语言错误。 14分切题。表达思想清楚,文字通顺,连贯性好。基本上无语言错误,仅有个别小错。(注: 白卷, 作文与题目毫不相关, 或只有几个孤立的词而无法表达思想,则给0分;字数不足,酌情扣分;只写一段者:04分;只写两段者:09分(按规定写三段的作文),一篇好的四级考场作文,字数适中 切题,语意连贯 基本无语法错误、标点错误 措辞遣句准确、简洁、有新意(用词多样性) 卷面整洁、书写流畅,5,写作的三个角度:语言第一位;结构第二位;内容

4、you . 替代语 accommodate E.g: I“ll endeavour to accommodate you. 垃圾词汇2: helpful 典型例句:sth is helpful (to sb) 替代语 conducive有助于 E.g sth is conducive to sb 垃圾词汇3:show 典型例句:as it shows in the picture 替代语 betray,8,垃圾词汇4:think 典型例句:i think - - 替代语deem, harbor the idea that 垃圾词汇5: because 典型例句:xxx because xxx

8、 argue.,主题句的位置,主题句通常放在段落的开端,其特点是开门见山地摆出问题,然后加以详细说明。其作用是使文章的结构更清晰,更具说服力,便于读者迅速地把握主题和想象全段的内容。主题句可以放在段中起到承上启下的作用,或放在段尾起概括全段的作用。但初学者比较难于掌握,因而在四级考试中,考生应尽量采用将主题句放在段落开头的写作手法。,草拟提纲,中文? English?,根据题目和中文提纲利用2-3分钟时间列出写作要点, 理清要点间的逻辑关系,组织并列出写作素材,列出关键词,在头脑中形成一个整体的思路。,正文写作,结构: 首段: 综述(引出话题)中间段: 分论点1(主题句,论据)分论点2(主题句

10、题的相关因素(影响,作用,好处,危害或原因等); 第三段:陈述自己观点或预期未来。 组成一篇文章的三要素是:结构,内容和语言。对于此类型的文章,同学们是很难在结构上略胜一筹的; 至于具体内容,也完全不需要推陈出新,因为批卷老师是完全没有时间仔细看理由的。所以,如何体现我们的写作能力和文章价值,关键在于文章遣词造句的质量。 此类文章的高分原则为:第一,在文章中必须有五个左右的衔接词,来体现逻辑性。第二,用词尽量避免重复,体现语言的灵活和升级。第三,尽量使用非陈述句式,如倒装、被动、虚拟语气及插入语等。,(1)对比观点型作文对策,作文类型与要求: 阐述对立观点型作文的中文提纲则往往是这样的: 1有
