2、题采用总体评分方法。阅卷人员就总的印象给出奖励分,而不是按语言点的错误数目扣分。从内容和语言两个方面对作文进行综合评判。内容和语言是一个统一体,作文应表达题目所规定的内容,而内容要通过语言来表达。要考虑作文是否切题,是否充分表达思想,也要考虑是否用英语清楚而确切地表达思想,也就是要考虑语言上的错误是否造成理解上的障碍。避免趋中倾向。该给高分的给高分,包括满分;该给低分的给低分,包括0分,一名阅卷人员在所阅的全部作文卷中不应只给中间的几种分数。,大学英语四六级考试作文评分标准,本题满分为15分。 阅卷标准共分五等:2分、5分、8分、11分及14分。各有标准样卷1至2份。 阅卷人员根据阅卷标准,对
3、照样卷评分,若认为与某一分数(如8分)相似,即定为该分数(即8分);若认为稍优或稍劣于该分数,即可加一分(即9分)或减一分(即7分),但不得加或减半分。 评分标准: 2分条理不清,思路紊乱,语言支离破碎或者部分句子均有错误,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。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,仅有个别小错误。,注意: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
4、思想,则给0分。 1.如题目中给出英文主题句,起始句,结束句,均不得计入所写字数 2.规定的内容未写全者, 按比例扣分。只写一段者:04分;只写两段 者:09分(指规定三段的作文),四六级考试作文评分注意事项,全国大学英语四、六级考试 作文题评分原则及标准,英语作文最低分的有关规定: 1. 根据目前考生的作文均值,将作文分的最低分定为6分; 2. 作文分为0分,总分若高于60分,报道时一律做59分不及格处理;若低于60分则报道时一律再减6分; 3. 作文分大于0分,小于6分,则按下式计算成绩: 最终得分原卷面总分6分作文实得分 例: 总分为63分,作文分为2分,报导分为 63-6+2=59分;

6、如上例各段主题句分别为:1It is very necessary to get to know the world outside2There are several ways to get to know the world outside3To me,I will take the following ways:另外,有时提纲为简短的英文要求句,如上例也可以这样出题:1Necessity of getting to know the world outside2Ways to do it.3My own practice这是我们的对策是将其进行变换,使之成为主题句,扩展形式与前同。,二、
7、确保条理清楚技巧:1议论文:正反论述要有条理。如上例第一段可以这样写:主题句(It is very necessary to get to know The world outside)+正面(Familiar with the world outside,we can)+反面(Otherwise,we will)。2说明文:各列条要清楚。如上例第二段可以这样写:主题句(There are two ways to know the world)+举例(Firstly Secondly )注意:举例列条时最好选出很简洁的连词或副词,这样会使文章写得更有条有理。3描述文:怎么做要有条理。如上例第三
8、段可以这样写:主题句(To me,I will take the following ways)+具体描述注意:主语要保持一致。,三、确保字数符合要求的快速成文口诀:横向写作正反论述主题不变添非重点词。1.横向写作:指围绕一个主题进行扩展,一段只有一个中心。四六级作文多是三段式,可在每一段中采用“主题句+两三句扩展句+一句结论句”的模式。其中结论句多出现在议论文的体裁中。2正、反论述。在实际考试时考生通常会由于紧张或平时积累不够而感觉无法对主题句进行充分的论证。这时就可采用正、反论述的方法快速成文。3主题不变,添非重点词。若感觉字数仍不够,可在保持主题不变的情况下,添加一些非重点词。如上例第三
9、段:,There are two ways (for us) to know the world outside (out of the campus)(主题句)Firstly,we may take the advantage of the media,such as reading the newspaper,(watching the television),surfing on the internet and so on.(扩展句一)Secondly,its also good to take a parttime job,such as tutoring (or working f

23、因果、引用等居多。 出题方式:可能是标题作文、主题句作文或情景、图表作文等等,一般是命题+提纲式写作,中文提纲,一般为三句或两句。,如1: topic: The Popularity of Blog outline:1)近年来“博客”越来越流行,许多人利用“博客”来表达心声、交流想法。2)博客流行的原因。3)目前的博客中可能存在的问题。 【思路点拨】本题属于提纲式文字命题。提纲第1点指出一种现象,提纲第2点要求说明导致该现象的原因,提纲第3点要求分析该现象中可能存在的问题,由此可判断本文应为现象解释型作文。 如2: topic: My Choice for Joboutline:1)有些人会选
24、择收入高但工作时间长的工作;有些人则宁愿选择收入低但工作时间却相对较短的工作。2)如果让你选择,你会选择哪种工作?理由是 【思路点拨】本题属于提纲式文字命题。提纲第1点指出两种不同的工作选择,提纲第2点要求表明“我”的倾向,由此可判断本文应为对比选择型作文。,考试时答题卡会提前发放,应迅速看一下答题卡一上的作文题目和提纲,让其在大脑中留有一席之地,这样我们就可以充分利用考前时间来把握作文。认真审题,弄清文章及各段主题,实现由提纲到主题句的转换。 打腹稿:摆事实,理清思路,从易于表达,且论证丰富的观点入手,不局限于一种看法,一种表达法或一种句式。 具体写作时要分段来写,字迹要工整,卷面要保持清洁
25、,给阅卷人一个好印象。 写完后仔细检查作文中用词、句法方面有无不准确的地方;句式有无变化;句与句之间,段与段之间有无合适的连接及过渡等。,临场注意事项,高分作文标志,篇幅:围绕给定的题目四级120-150字;六级150-180字; 句式:是否长短句交叉,即是否有句式变换; 选词:用词是否恰当、准确、形象,要有几个能够抓人眼球的闪光词; 关键词:是否换用,切勿老用重复词; 连贯性:是否善于使用标志词和过渡词实现文章层次间的衔接。 书写卷面工整。(作文没有草稿纸,也没有打草稿时间,要训练一次写成功。) 无重大语言错误。考生最常犯的语言错误有三类:语法、拼写、标点。最常犯的语法错误包括:时态、冠词、
26、主谓一致、名词单复数等。要避免拼写错误;避免语法错误;避免中文式英语。如:Some people are begin; There are some people want ; Why happen these things。,高分作文tips,要想让分数上一个档次,文章中还需要多几个闪光点。 闪光点体现在用词上、用的句子结构上。在用词时尽量不要用中学时“小儿科”的词汇,多用四六级词汇表中的“新词”。避免重复使用诸如象”think, believe, important”之类的词汇和诸如:”Some people think , I think , Do you think so?”。这样的文
27、章,如果去掉相同的词汇就剩不了几个词汇了。象这样的作文又怎么能够拿到高分呢?写议论文、说明文都需要讲理由,就需要排序,考生多用first, second, third等,就不如用新颖些的in the first place效果好。句子结构也要尽量新鲜。比如Everybody knows that.就不如It is well known to everyone that. 来得精彩,更能博阅卷老师青睐。I think可以写成:in my eyes; I firmly think; personally, I think.,四六级写作没有太大的自由发挥空间。阅卷老师在阅卷的过程中更多的是关注同学们
28、的用词和句型的使用。,高分作文tips,怎样使句子多样化? 同一件事,可以用不同的句式表达。如果句子清一色是简单句,文章必定很单调乏味。如果全篇充满了冗长的复杂句,读起来也很费力。最好的方法是以简单句为基础,配合适当的并列句和复杂句。简单句可长可短,通常要加些附属成分,如分词短语、介词短语、副词短语、不定式动词短语,以及节缩成分。 总之,作者可根据情况,使句子多样化,使文章灵活多姿。例如下列五个句子的基本概念一样,但是句式不同,内容重点也有些差别:,(1) The goats grazed peacefully in the farm and were unaware of the appro
29、aching hunter. (并列分句(1)+(2) (2) Grazing peacefully, the goats in the farm were unaware of the approaching hunter. (现在分语短语+简单句) (3) In the farm, the goats grazed peacefully and were unaware of the approaching hunter. (副词短语+并列分句(1)-(2) ) (4) There were goats grazing peacefully in the farm, unaware of
30、the approaching hunter. (简单句+形容语短语) (5) As the goats grazed peacefully in the farm, they were unaware of the approaching hunter. (原因副词从句+主句),看看这两个句子要如何多样化呢? (1) The young pilot was on his first overseas training. (2) He felt very uneasy.,高分作文tips,(a) The young pilot on his first overseas training fe
31、lt very uneasy. (b) The young pilot felt very uneasy during his first overseas training. (c) The young pilots first overseas training made him feel very uneasy.

(l) The young pilot was on his first overseas training, so that he felt very uneasy,如何使英文句子上下连贯,段落衔接过渡自然?(1)如分段叙
34、述某一个问题或表示顺序时,可用First, Second, Third或In the first place, In the second place, Last but not the least来表示衔接。 (2)举例说明时可用for example, for instance, to illustrate, a case in point is 来表示。 (3)进一步阐述时可用furthermore, in addition, similarly, moreover来加以提示。 (4)强调某一点的重要性时,可用surely, truly, undoubtedly, clearly, in
35、deed, as a matter of fact来加强句子的力度。,高分作文tips,(5)作结论时可用therefore, in summary, consequently, in conclusion, in short, in a word等来导出。 (6)分析因果时可用because,due to,so that,as a result等来表现主从句之间的逻辑关系。 (7)转换思路时,可用but,however,nevertheless,otherwise等以示转折,而on the one hand, on the other hand;on one side of the coin
36、, on the other side of the coin 则可用来连接两个相反的事实或观点。 (8) It follows that. It can be inferred that. It suggests that.则将读者引入作者的逻辑推理思路。,高分作文tips,英语写作用词的准确表达,要把握选词的准确性, 可以从下面三方面入手。 一、要有广泛的阅读积累,才能了解词与社会、历史、文化及政治因素的关系,选词时才能符合语言习惯并与社会文化诸多背景一致。例如,英美人对landlord的理解与中国人截然不同。英美人对其的理解首先是“房东”,然后才是“地主” ,而First lady(第一
37、夫人)绝不能理解为汉语的原配夫人,因此在写作中应特别注意这类词,否则会导致冒犯和误解。,由于东西方社会历史文化的差异,许多词所引申或代表的内容也大相径庭,Phoenix在西方象征“复活”、“再生”,而汉语的这一词却表示“祥瑞”。Peach在汉语中象征“长寿”而在英语中却用以指代“特别讨人喜爱的人或物”。又比如在表示色彩的词中green是青春的颜色,常表示希望、活力,但在英语中green又与“妒忌” (to be green with envy,green-eyed)和“没有经验的”(a green horn)联系起来。如果没有广泛的阅读积累,单凭想当然地选词,势必会词不达意。即使同一事物,在美
38、国和英国也可能有不同的表达。例如:corn一词在美国指“玉米”而在英国泛指“谷物”;“地铁”在英国用tube或under-ground美国则用subway。此类的例子还有pavement/sidewalk, Chemists shop/drug store等。,高分作文tips,二、在英语写作中特别要注意区分同义词,选词时要考虑主题、对象及情景(subject, audience, situation)。由于历史的原因,现代英语除本族语外,还包括大量的法语和拉丁来源的词,这就使英语的同义词相当丰富。总的来讲,英语本族语大多是短词,小词,听起来朴素、亲切,大量用于口头表达;法语来源的词庄重文雅,
39、多与行政、宗教、军事、服饰、饮食等有关;拉丁来源的词,书卷味浓。 同义词除了来源的不同会影响措词的选择外,它们在程度、感情色彩上也有不同。比如“瘦”可以用slender,slim,lean, thin,underweight,gaunt, lanky,skinny等来表达,而slender表示“苗条”是褒义的,skinny却是贬义的,underweight则是中性的词。,英语写作用词的准确表达,即使同是褒义词,表达的感情色彩也不同。比如little和small两个同义词都可以表示 “小的” ,但little更强调“可爱的”或“可怜的”。因此在选词表达思想时,一定要分清主题,对象及情景。 另外让
40、中国学生头痛的是一些同义词的习惯搭配。比如large和big都指“大”,但large通常用来修饰诸如number,amount及quantity(a large number of students,a large amount of money,a large quantity of wine,etc)。但象“勇气”,“信心”,”能力”、“智慧”等表示个人素质的名词,人们通常用great而不用big或large来修饰。由此可见,在英语写作实践中,区分同义词的用法是相当重要的。,高分作文tips,三、选择措词应把握好英语和汉语词汇无法对应的部分 不是所有的英语词汇都有相应的汉语表达,一些不同的
41、英语词汇也有可能用同样的汉语来表达,这就使我们在用英语来表达思想时面临更多选择上的困难。比如family和home两词都可译成汉语的“家”,但它们却不是同义词。Family主要指家庭成员,与人有关,而home主要指所居住的地点、住宅。Except和besides有时都译成同样的汉语“除了”,但他们的意思却是相反的。因此我们不能依赖于单纯的汉语译意。否则我们可能会被误导。尽管许多英语对应的汉语词汇都能表达它们真正的意思,但往往有些英语词汇没有准确的汉语对应词;,英语写作用词的准确表达,所以只有在不同的上下文中才能确定它们真正的意思,比如send一词,如果单把它理解成汉语的“送”的话,象这样的句子
42、“她送信给我”也许会被写成she sent me the letter.而英语准确的表达应是she brought me the letter.再如“他将送朋友去机场”,如果写成He will send his friend to the airport。就又错了。正确的表达应该是He will go to the airport with his friend to see him off. 实际上send sth. to a place 应该是请别人送去,自己不去。因此,要确定我们所选的词是否准确、恰当,单凭查词典还不行。,四六级英语作文模板,对比选择型或对比论述型作文模板,图表类作文模板
