第一、 卷面整洁,书写清楚。 由于写作属于主观题型,故考官将依据主观印象进行评判。卷面的好坏将在第一时间冲击考官对你作文的印象。所以,建议各位考生先想清楚后动笔,减少涂改几率,让考官能清楚无误地看清你答卷的内容。另外,新的四、六级考试中会有部分考区的试卷被扫描至电脑,这些考区的考官将会在电脑前批阅作文,因此考生们最好使用黑色水笔做答,以保证扫描效果。
写作的格式有两种:齐头式(full block form)和缩进式(indented form)。采用齐头式,要求所有段落的首行都在左边顶格,段落中间空行。缩进式要求每段首行缩进4~5个字母。
第二、 构思简单,少犯错误。 请大家一定记住,作文只在考核他们的语言表达能力。避免犯错误。
(思维。标点,时态一致,单复数,结构。6分原则。写完后的检查)
第三、 中心突出,层次分明。 从近几年的四级考试作文看来,尽管实用性提高了,但行文大多可以套用“中心句+1、2、3”模式。即每段第一句是topic sentence,改编自该段相对应的提纲,后面的1、2、3是衔接词,每个1、2、3后接分支观点。这种表达,中心突出,层次分明,同时也节省了考生构思结构
的麻烦。衔接词是文章逻辑关系的体现,所以不妨尽可能多的使用。比如,“起”的过渡词:nowadays, at present, first of all, firstly;“承”的过渡词:second, besides, moreover, furthermore, obviously, in addition, in other words;“转”的过渡词:however, on the other hand, but, instead, conversely;“合”的过渡词:therefore, so, as a result, in short, in brief, in a word, in conclusion。
以下为2006年6月新四级作文题及其范文。划线部分与斜体部分则体现了第三点所讲的全部内容。提纲如下:
1、有些大学允许学生自由选择某些课程的任课老师 2、学生选择老师时所考虑的主要因素是…… 3、学生自选任课老师的益处及可能产生的问题
Nowadays, there is a general discussion today about the issue of some changes on campus. Particularly, students in universities have optional choices on their teachers.
A number of factors are responsible for decisions in choosing teachers. For one thing, the character of a lecturer plays a significant role in this issue, which means the teacher should meet the learners’ taste. For another thing, opinions from other students are likely to bring effects on the decision. In other words, we are possibly influenced by negative or positive words from others. Obviously, there is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of this matter. On the one hand, students are treated better than before. On the other hand, some top teachers will be ignored, if they are not able to please the market. From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that further attention will be paid to this matter.
第四、 固定经典,名言注目。经典句和名言往往都比较容易引人注目,如果能在文中使用,也比较容易让改卷人为之一振。为了获得经典的使用效果,建议考生们在平时的写作练习中注意积累,并且每个话题背下几句。质量良好的句子一般应该用在文章的开头结尾,或每段的开头,这样才能让别人清楚明白地看到。比如,用于文章开头的句子:
1、 When it comes to …, people’s opinions differ. 2、 There is a public discussion today about ……
3、 There is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of 用于文章结尾的句子:
1、 it is high time that we take measures to …
2、 judging from all evidence offered, we may safely come to the conclusion that …
3、 all the evidence points to the fact that …
4、 It is essential that effective measures should be taken to control this situation.
用于阐释原因的句子:
1、 Some reasons are responsible for this.
2、 There are lots of reasons for the dramatic growth/decrease. First, … Second, … Finally, …
3、 The phenomenon/change in … mainly results from the fact that … 4、 One may regard the phenomenon as a sign of …
第五、 重在变化,宁简勿滥。 作文考试评卷中,大多采用加分原则。“难词长句”不是加分的必然。关键在于变化,变化不分难易,只要有变化就行。变化分为,词的变化和句的变化。在用词上,同一文章中相同意义的词要争取不断地用近意词替换,以显文章用词灵活。(换词和短语)在用句上,不一定要用大的从句,主要避免相邻句子句式太多的一致。(变句模式) 备考忌讳
第一、忌讳盲目。盲目相信所谓“秘宗”或“内部透露试卷”,四、六级考试是科学性较高的国内英文考试,在日益提高安全性的前提下,漏题的机会几乎没有。第二、忌讳只看不练。只看题目或只构思,而不动手练习。四、六级考试的作文部分是考查学生对英语的主动应用能力,所以考生至少在考前一个月应该动手练习,主要以历年真题的写作题目为复习资料,写完之后自己再对照范文进行修改,记下范文中的经典句子及衔接词,以备考场上使用。 一、开头句型
我们常说,良好的开端等于成功的一半。做事如此,作文也是如此。所以我们颇有必要在作文的开头花一番心思。 在写议论文时,你通常以什么样的方式开头呢?最简单也最常用的可能就是开门见山法。也就是说———直截了当地提出你对这个问题的观点,点出文章的中心思想。

disadvantages.……既有利又有弊。例如:
