5、句英语深层内涵到评论,这就写出一篇议论文。,第二类是素材图表作文。也是给你一个素材,当然这个素材是我们说的给你一份表格,比如柱状表曲线表或者是饼状图或者是excel表格,四种表格里面选一种来考,那么同学们先要描绘这个图表,并且进而对这个图表所隐含或者所显示的一种社会现象进行评论。,第三类是我们说的素材图画作文,那就是给你一幅漫画,同学们要读懂这幅漫画它所隐含的一个社会现象,或者说是一个深层的哲理,那么读出这个现象之后我们进行议论和论述,通过各种论证的方式比如说正常论证或者说是原因分析的论证等等,把这个观点给对证出来。,构思列提纲:不同的作文题型中,对提纲的要求也有所不同。简要的列出提纲之后,对
6、提纲的材料进行加工、补充、扩展。各段的展开根据提纲的来龙去脉进行,尤其要注意确定重点,选准扩充点,将比较抽象的内容具体化,阐述透彻。,提笔写作:这是一个遣词造句,连句成篇,将不同信息排列组合的过程。写作过程中得到的是些杂乱无序的字、词、句,需要通过一些过渡手段将其连成完整的文章,对构思素材的取舍增补,框架结构的调整,段落、语句顺序的排列,并兼顾各种语法现象。一定要注意以所拟的提纲为知道,注意语言的正确性和流畅性。,修改润色: 应该做语篇结构上的检查,这主要是检查文章的主题是否明确,篇章层次是否明显,段落衔接是否连贯,内容是否切题等。 具体检查每个段落,这一步主要检查段落是否完整,中心是否突出,
7、段落各句是否衔接紧凑等。 作语法结构上的检查,包括用词是否恰当,标点是否正确,句子结构是否完整,语句是否通顺等。,第三节:高分技巧,第一章:词汇层面 第二章:句式层面 第三章:段落层面 第四章 完整篇章-经典三段式,写作替换词库,事物的特征 1.Important: essential, significant(=be of great significance), vital, crucial, profound, indispensable, critical, fundamental, primary, elementary,decisive,Big: gigantic, massive

22、+系+表 主+谓 主+谓+宾 主+谓+宾(间接宾语)+宾(直接宾语) 主+谓+宾+宾补,写好简单句的原则,1始终抓住句子结构。简单句的基本结构就是主语+谓语,即英语种的任何句子都必须一个明确的主语和谓语。同时,要记住只有动词才可以做谓语。 2以动词为核心。一个英语句子中只有一个“谓语动词”,因此,主要抓住了谓语动词,就能写好句子。要特别注意区分动词的词性,比如哪些是及物动词,哪些是不及物动词。,3注意时态和主谓一致。时态和主谓不一致是写作中非常常见的错误。比如很多人喜欢用“过去时”。其实,四级作文都是针对生活,工作或者社会的普遍问题出题的,如果写作的题目和提纲当中没有特殊的要求,一般都要选择“
