1、四级写作高分技巧 第二讲,王飞飞,Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?(CET4 2005.12) 1名校校园正成为旅游新热点 2校园是否应对游客开放,人们看法不同 3我认为 It is true that many university campuses, especially those of the prestigious ones, have recently become the new tourist attractions. Pros and cons have been put forward concerning
2、this new phenomenon. Some people are quite in favor of the campus opening to tourists while others are opposed to it. The opening of campus will stimulate the tourist industry, but the easier access to campus will lead to some accidents or safety problems which will interfere in students life. In my
3、 opinion, campuses can be open to tourists once a week, say, on Saturday or Sunday. This suggestion, I believe, is quite feasible because it could kill two birds with one stone. For one thing, campuses could attract many tourists on weekends, thus boosting the tourism. For another, restricted openin
4、g of campus will beneficially narrow the gap between campuses and the outside world. Furthermore, this will also attract more public attention and build a great reputation for the university.,二. 历年真题回顾,趋势预测,1. 1998.6 命题 Do lucky Numbers Really Bring Good Luck? 1.有些人认为某些数字会带来好运 2. 也有些人认为数字和运气无关 3. 试说

14、目的主要在于考查学生的写作能力,而并不是把学生对题目的理解力放在考查的第一位。猜题押宝的做法是不可行的。无论在平时的学习还是考试中,都要注意培养自己分析问题,解决问题的,判断事物的抽象思维能力,要对所有作文的体裁都有所了解和练习,不能有任何偏废。更重要的是要不断通过读,背,仿,写,改的过程来强化语感,提高语言的质量。四级作文命题有如下特征:1. 与实事有一定的关联,但不紧跟实事。2. 命题对所有考生而言是公平的,尽量避免对特定专业,地域等类别学生的偏向性3. 命题不会过偏,即保证任何考生都有话可说。,三. 得分技巧,1. 词语的运用2. 句子写作3. 段落写作,1. 词语的运用,三个原则:用词
15、准确;用词得当;同义词的 使用名词的单复数 动词的搭配形容词的恰当运用介词及介词短语的运用技巧 a fact beyond dispute “无可争辩的事实”,中国学生常把外语学习问题统统归罪于词汇量不大, 而解决问题的通常方法就是以应试为目的的词汇背诵,但毫无疑问这是最死板而效率地下的方法,而且缺乏实际沟通力;在语境中学习词汇才是最好最有效的途径。查阅字典有技巧,每遇见生词就查字典不是好方法,经常“遭遇”它,借助语境理解它的意义,印象更深,记得更牢。,在一个段落里,同一个词的使用不要过于频繁, 要考虑选择用同义词或近义词替代,这样可以避免单调和重复。譬如”good”是学生们喜欢用的一个词,在
16、口语中用的比较多, 但如在英语写作中用得过多, 就会显得词汇贫乏,单调无味。,We had a very good evening on Friday. After a meal at a very good Italian restaurant we went to a good film.

23、 简单句是构成各类句子的基础;两个或两个以上的意义相关的简单句可以联结成并列句;简单句的每个句子成分可以扩展成从句而构成复合句。,简单句,只包含一个主语和谓语的句子称为简单句。但有时一个句子可包含两个或两个以上并列的主语或谓语,还仍为简单句。有些句子包含定语、状语、同位语、独立成分、插入语等多种附加成分,但只要是单一主谓结构,它们仍然是简单句。 - She fell from the horse and broke her leg.,并列句,并列句包含两个或两个以上的相互独立的分句,分句之间由并列连词或分号连接来表示分句之间的并列、选择或转折等逻辑关系。这种句子主要用来表达各自具有同等重要性的
24、一些思想。 - I like singing, but she likes dancing. - This is the best book I have ever read; it kept me up all night.,复合句,由一个主句和至少一个从句构成的句子称为复合句。在复合句中,主句是整个句子的主体部分,从句只是整个句子的一个成分,不能独立存在,在句法关系上从属于主句。从句须用关联词引导,来表明与主句的关系。 - That is exactly what I want to say. - There was only one school in the small town wh
25、ere I was born.,从句作表语,从句作定语,b. 英语句子按交际功能分为四种,即陈述句、疑问句、祈使句和感叹句。,陈述句 Declarative Sentence,陈述句 用来陈述观点、事实或说话人的看法。- I havent finished my homework.- Browsing on the Internet is my favorite pastime.,疑问句 Interrogative Sentence,用来提问的句子称为疑问句。一般疑问句,特殊疑问句,选择疑问句,附加疑问句。 -Do you know the way to go to the train sta
26、tion? - How many students are there in your class? - Is your favorite winter outdoor activity skiing or skating? - She has found her bike, hasnt she?,祈使句 Imperative Sentence,用来表达命令、请求或建议的句子称为祈使句。 - Dont be late again.,感叹句 Exclamatory sentence,用来抒发强烈感情的句子称为感叹句。 -How beautiful the scenery is! - What a
27、 great idea!,c. 英语基本句型,英语句型的变化取决于其中的谓语动词。谓语动词有不及物动词、连系动词和及物动词三种,就此产生千差万别的各种句型,但基本的句子结构只有五种。,a) SV(主语+谓语动词),- They will come. - The boy cried.,b) SVP (主语+谓语+表语),- Mary is a student. - It tastes sweet.,c) SVO (主语+谓语+宾语),- She bought a skirt. - We have finished the job.,d) SVoO (主语+谓语+间宾+直宾),- The boy
28、gives Mary the ball. - I teach the students English. - Father told me a story.,e) SVOC (主语+谓语+宾语+宾补),- They elected him the president. - We painted the wall green. - He asked the boy to paint wall. - We heard her singing. 这种句子结构中的动词是复合及物动词,其后跟复合宾语,即“宾语+补语”。,只有掌握了基本句型,便能对各种看上去变化复杂的简单句加以剖析,并在写作中正确地运用它

41、性的定语从句常以that, which, who, whom, whose, where, why, when等的关系词作引导,一般紧跟随所修饰的名词。,for example: - This is the place where Jack met his girlfriend for the first time. - I cant figure out the reason why there are more and more Chinese young people who wish to go to the United States to further their studies
42、. - At home on the small farm in the U.S. state of Michigan, where he was being reared by his grandparents, the youngster could talk a little with his relative.,c. 主语和主语从句,在英语中,作主语的语言成分包括:名词、代词、动名词、动词不定式、名词从句。For example- Listening to a piece of music without understanding what it is means nothing b
43、ut a waste of time.- To help others is to help yourself in a sense.,主语从句,主语从句就是以what, who, which, why, how, when, which等词所引导的名词从句。这些名词从句出现在谓语动词之前并作主语时,我们就将其称为主语从句。- What she has been doing all these years still remains a mystery.- How she succeeded in getting the post is still unknown,It 作形式主语,由于英语是个突出主语的语言,因此,如果句子的实际主语太长,英语习惯用先行代词it作形式主语,然后再引出实际的主语。 It is+ 形容词+that 从句 It is+ 不及物动词+that 从句 It is+ 名词+that 从句 It is+ 动词的过去分词+that 从句,
