篇1:流行音乐的英语作文

全文共 1550 字

+ 加入清单

Pop music is held I contempt by many people. In these peoples eyes pop music is always in sharp contrast to lofty music. The latter refers to symphonies and operas of the European countries. They show great concern for the fact that many people prefer pop music to symhonies, because for them pop music should be excluded from the holy palace of music.

Conversely, many people have an ordor for pop music. They argue that people who want us to listen to symhonies are advocating a kind of elite culture. This notion is unacceptable to pop music fans, for they dont believe that symphonies are loftier than pop music. The difference only lies in the interests of different people. It is unfair to speak of pop music with contempt while speaking of symphonies with awe.

In conclusion, my idea is that just as there is no distinction between high culture and low culture, so it is inappropriate to say pop music belongs to the lower people whereas symphonies in a higher, loftier form of music. After all, there are many badly-composed symphonies. And we cant expect every piece of pop music to be excellent. Pop music reflects the thoughts and interests of a certain age group of a generation. It is the product of a certain age, but it also has something universal, something that belongs to all human beings, that underlies its great success among people. In this sense it is rather foolish for some peopleof media to show great concern simply because many people prefer pop music. Anyway pop music has become an indispensable part of the human family.

The music form that strikes me most is classic music.The term

“classical music”can be used in a broad and a narrow sense. Generalized classical music refers to western classical music, which is created under the background of the European mainstream culture from the middle ages to now in the west.It’s different from the popular music and folk music because of its complex creative skills and the profound significance it carries.Narrow sense refers to classicism music, which is the European mainstream music for a period of time from 1750 to 1820.The most famous composers of this music style are Haydn,Mozart and Beethoven.

《For Elise》is one of the master work of Beethoven, which was the souvenir Beethoven gave to Miss Elise. People like to called it “trivial music”, but this song condensed Beethoven’s strong creative ideas that reflected his individual style and his unique creative thinking. Although 《For Elise》is music work of only more than 3 minutes, it is also a concentrated body of Beethoven’s music creation.

However, there is another kind of classic music in China, which almost come from The Book of Songs. The Book of Songs was born in the late of Chinese slave society, also the beginning of the ancient Chinese poetry. Now, some singers such as Jay and Xu Song created many popular songs including a lot of classic ingredients those are the most attractive place of those songs.

篇17:英语写作加分和扣分点介绍

全文共 956 字

+ 加入清单

英语作文一般都是15-20分,你想指导你的分数被扣在哪些地方了吗?

中考英语作文对考生的要求有四点:1、内容要完整。 2、语句流畅。3、没有语法错误。4、书写规范。能达到上述要求的作文,都会得到相应的高分。

一:先看一下扣分点:

1.内容方面:要点缺失,可酌情扣分。比如中考作文“I want to do something for my school”,若没有写一件具体的事情,是要扣3分以上的;若写的事情太过于虚幻,没有实际内容,也会扣1-2分。

2.字数:少于60字的作文要酌情扣分。

中考英语作文要求60字以上,标点符号不算,少了就要扣分。但是60字的作文能不能得高分?从我们拿到的实例作文来看,16分以上的作文,没有少于75字的,甚至少于80字的也少之又少。当然,也极少有超过100字的,因为中考试卷的短线格一共80个,在格子下面大约还有2行的空间,可以加20字左右,再多阅卷人就很难看清了,也会影响卷面的美观。所以,同学们如果想让作文得到高分,最好是让字数在75-100字之间。

3. 语法和拼写错误:每个扣0.5,重复错误不计;

4. 标点错误:每4个扣0.5.

二:加分点

除了这些扣分点,还有一些得分点:比如说作文的组织结构分,就是根据学生使用复杂句型、单词和谚语、俗语的情况来加分。

只要文章中有1个亮点,基本就可以争取到1分(3分的文采分是很难全部拿到的)。而这1分的亮点,是可以提前准备的。例如,有一些“万金油”式的复杂句型,例如强调句型、only相关的倒装句等,只要同学们多操练几次,几乎是一定能用到作文当中,从而为自己争取到这1分。

其次就是卷面分

很多家长[微博]和同学,尤其是部分书法并不是十分整洁的同学,都会关心是否真的有“卷面分”的存在。虽然在阅卷标准里面并没有卷面分这一项,但是这个分数却真切地反映在了同学们的分数里面。

据阅卷老师的经验,在阅卷的时候并不是按这3个部分逐项打分的,而是在第一遍读完全文之后,心里已经形成了一个“印象分”,然后再细读第二、三遍,把印象分分配到各个打分部分。因此,这个“印象分”就非常重要,而同学们的书法,也正是在这个环节,影响到了自己的分数。所以初三的考生,如果书法不好,一定要注意。所谓的书法并不需要写的很漂亮,符合3个简单的标准即可:没有斜体、没有连笔、涂改较少。
