篇1:英语写作能力方法知道
全文共 921 字
+ 加入清单一、句式多变,词汇丰富。
鉴于这部分的写作要求和难度,不论是写书信还是编故事,由于100词的字数要求,考生必须要学会用具体的,多样化的语句来描写某样东西或某件事情。有的学生从头至尾都用"Thereis"的句式,而且重复多遍,看来单调乏味,很难得高分。我们不妨用主动和被动句式、各种不同的从句、动词不定式、强调句、虚拟语气等等,当然我们要写的句式必须是自己熟悉的,有把握的。
词汇量的大小影响写作成绩。试想你形容餐馆good,食品good,氛围good,那也太无聊了,我们平时就积累一些词汇,比如餐馆cleanandtidy,食品niceandtasty,氛围friendlyandpleasant等等,而不至于到考试时言之无物。
二、问题都答,加上连词。
如果第二单元你要给笔友写一份回信,信中有这么一个问题Haveyougotafavoriterestaurant?Tellmeaboutthefoodandwhatyoulikeabouttherestaurant。这个问题看似非常简单,但如果你就回答一句Ihavegotmyfavoriterestaurant.可以,但如果你不学会怎么扩展这个话题,那一封信中根本就写不了上百个单词。因此,学会拓展话题这一点在这部分中尤为重要,如你可以写餐馆的名字、位置、特色等等。
如果你选择编故事也很好。我们PET考生大多是青少年,正是想象力非常丰富的时候,很适合去编故事。但在书写的过程中,一定要注意尽量用自己有把握的语言来表达和描述。此外,既然是故事,就应该把事情发生的时间、地点、人物、过程以及结果都完整地表述出来。因此,我们在平时就把日常生活中所发生的有意义的小事儿用英文记录下来,日积月累你会发现,你的书写素材会越来越多,这种考试对你来说,将会是"apieceofcake"。
另外注意适当使用一些关联词,如and,but,so,if,使行文更加流畅。
三、平时勤练,克服畏惧。
因为该部分要求比较高,建议考生平时可以多做这样的书写练习。在学而思PET,我们会练习四五篇大作文,希望同学们平时就认真对待,描写到位,在老师的指导下,逐步明白自己的弱项在哪里,进而逐渐消除无话可写的心理恐惧,并提高写作水平。
篇2:英语考试写作有方法

+ 加入清单1)做模版:拿几片范文,找几句比较拽的结构型句子,拼凑出一个你自己顺手的框架即可。不用到处找,也不用找很多,一个框架即可,当然,准备一些可以替换的词:比如recommendation替换conclusion.漂亮句子很多,但若水三千,我只掬一瓢饮。
2)找出主要的错误类型,每种写出一道两句经典的表述即可。
3)考时30分钟分三个阶段:一)12-15分钟,写出完整的第一段,三个征文段的topic sentence,和完整的末段。写第一段的同时就构思topicsentence,末段无非是重复结论和三句topic。这样的好处是结构已经完整了,你不用慌了。。二)13-10分钟,完成三段正文。我以前觉得这个很困难,后来想通了。无非是把这层意思说清楚就行。3句话就够了。也够长了。三)5分钟check.还一个作用时,是在前面没有完成,还有一个buffer,也不至于弹尽粮绝。
4)非常措施:考试万一时间不够,首段就抄原句;如果时间还不够,末段就cut-paste首段和topic 的文本,稍加修改即可。但是,结构是完整的。
5)ok作文法的精髓和适用范围:精髓:看上去很美。适用范围:不想得6分的人(因为想的6分的人追求的是实际上也很美。如果运气好,可以的5分,运气不好,可以的4分。

篇5:2024年中考看图英语作文写作指导
全文共 2549 字
+ 加入清单最近几年的中考英语当中,很多省市已经摆脱了单一作文模式,采用一大一小两个作文相结合的模式。例如,去年辽宁沈阳中考英语作文就是一个小作文,应用文-写假条,加上一个大作文,汉语提示作文构成。今年,北京中考英语作文也将是两个,一个看图作文在加上一个提示作文构成。这一讲,我们先来学习一下看图作文的写法。
看图作文要求考生按照所给图画,通过合理的联想将一组画面的内容正确地表达出来。看图作文与其他类型作文的不同之处在于,它除了要求考生有英语语言表达能力,还要求考生有观察能力、分析能力和想象能力。
写好看图作文应注意的事项1、结合文字提示,正确理解图意。一般情况下,看图作文在提供图画的同时也附带有简要的文字提示,我们可以利用文字提示去正确地理解图意,得到要点。切忌孤立地看图而忽视文字提示。
写作从图画的细节出发。所谓细节,就是指图画中的人物、事件、地点、环境、时间、动作等。依据图画细节,就可以把图画的内容用英语具体而生动地表达出来了。
(三)例题分析(例题)
同学们,看到下面的四幅图片及相应的报道后,你感到最担忧的是哪两种情形?请简述你担忧的理由并提出建议或希望。
要求:
⒈ 从所给素材中任选两种情形进行阐述,不可多选或少选。
⒉ 条理清楚,意思连贯,语句通顺,标点正确;
⒊ 词数 80 ~ 100。
参考词汇: 建议 suggest v. suggestion n.
气体 gas n. 污染 pollution n.
THE POLLUTIONS
① One third of the worlds people dont have enough clean water.
② More and more diseases are caused by polluted air.
③ People are disturbed quite often by kinds of noises.
④ Every person in our city makes about 1.8 kilos of rubbish every day.
这道看图作文题,主题和图片连接得不是很紧密。从考查的形式上来说,虽是看图,实质上却属于提示性的作文。这个作文应该结合个人的观点,选择的余地还是很大的。做这个题应该注意几个方面:
1、认真读题。注意,题目虽然给了四幅图,但是却只要求写其中的两个就行。
2、题意要求的是阐述个人的观点-最担忧的两种情形。而不是对图片进行描述。
3、结合所给的提示。提示中,对每种污染都进行了阐述,考生可以这些描述进行写作。
4、注意字数,语法,拼写等,避免错误。
下面是两个例文,大家可以参考一下。
One possible version:
The environment is becoming worse and worse. There are many kinds of pollution I worry about. The most serious two are water pollution and air pollution, because people cant live healthily with dirty water and polluted air, nor can animals. More and more diseases are caused by polluted air.
I think factories should not pour dirty water into the river directly or produce more waste gas. Wed better go on foot or by like instead of by car, because more cars mean more waste gas. We should make our world more and more beautiful.
Another possible version:
The first fact I worry about is noise pollution. People cant sleep well if there is too much noise. Thats why so many people prefer to live in the countryside rather than live in the noisy city. I suggest all the factories and cars shouldnt make terrible noises. If they make terrible noise that isnt allowed, they will be fined, and we can also produce the cars which cant make terrible noise.
The other pollution is rubbish pollution. If everyone makes so much rubbish, one day we may live in a world filled with rubbish. Some people throw the waste paper about. I suggest rubbish should be put into different kinds of dustbins or paper bags.
下面,我们来看看这道题的评分标准。一般来说,各地的评分标准都和下面的这个标准差不多。这个最高的标准,实际上也就是我们写作的目标。
评分标准:
1. 内容完整,语句流畅,无语法错误,书写规范,给9-10分;
2. 内容较完整,语句较流畅,基本无语法错误,书写较规范,给6-8分;
3. 内容不完整,语句欠流畅,语法错误较多,书写较规范,给3-5分;
4. 只写出个别要点,语法错误较多,书写欠规范,只有个别句子可读或不知所云,给0-2分。
看图作文不可小视。希望大家掌握答好这种题型的要点,并积累词汇。
篇6:英语写作技巧
全文共 260 字
+ 加入清单用介词短语替代从句,例:
原句:While they were playing tennis, she started an argument that lasted all morning.
修改后:During tennis she started an argument that lasted all morning.
原句:When you come to the second traffic light, turn right.
修改后:At the second traffic light turn left.
篇7:2024关于英语图画作文写作方法
全文共 724 字
+ 加入清单英语一考生要在三十分钟内写出160-200个词汇的文章,英语二的考生需要完成150个词汇左右的文章。写作时要求主题突出、结构清晰、文字通顺、连贯性好,祛除语法错误。在考试过程中,考生能在有限时间内详细解读考题设问要求,并匠心独运的构想、拟题、列提纲,最后完成一篇考场佳作,这需要前期十分认真的备考。
在写作中,考生要特别注意文章的中心思想是否切题,论据是否足够充分,如不充分则要对论据详细展开。句语句、段与段连接要自然,逻辑关系清晰明晰,切忌不要出现与主题无关的句子。人称、时态等细节处要保持一致,单词拼写、大小写以及标点也要注意到位。
由于近些年图画作文较热,是考研英语写作中出现频率最高的一类文体,我们来重点学习一下这种文体的写作方法。
图画作文通常是给出一幅或多幅漫画或图片,所给图画多反映当前的热点社会现象或热点社会现实。这类作文难度较大,要求考生首先仔细剖析图画内容,并通过文字形式将图中所包罗的思想内容准确无误地表达出来。大家可将此类作文转化为三段或四段式的提纲作文写作。
1、认真审题
在审题时,考生要在认真剖析图画所反映的内容以及出题者出题意图的前提下,通过表层含义剖析图画真正想要说明的问题是什么,深入研究图画的表层含义和深层含义,从而挖掘出其深层含义以确定文章的中心思想。
2、确定写作重点
认真审题后,考生就要确定写作重点了,根据剖析和研究的结果列出提纲并安排段落。确定每一个段落的主题和写作重点,考生要根据题目要求对选材进行筛选。
3、确定写作提纲
如何列提纲,即考生对题设材料的剖析得出结论后形成的基本框架结构,漫画标的主题、directions中的要求包罗了哪些内容,文章段落应该如何组织,基本提纲确定了的基础上,才能思路清晰、行文流通。

bad for our health. In the morning we usually have four classes. It’s a long
time before lunch. If we don’t eat anything for breakfast, we may feel hungry

. How to keep healthy
If we want to keep our
bodies healthy, we must have a good habit. We should get up and go to bed early
and sleep at least eight hours every day. Do more exercise, such as walking,
swimming, playing balls and so on. We should also eat healthy food——more fruit
and vegetables and less meat. If you don’t feel well, you’d better see a doctor
at once. And we should wash our hands before meals and drink enough boiled
water every day. It’s necessary for our health.
We should not throw
litter about, keep long fingernails and smoke etc. It’s also very important.

running in the morning. We keep the windows open so that the air in the room is
clean and fresh. We wash our hands before meals. We have healthy food and
drink. We don’t spit here and there. He told us not to overwork because too
much work will make us tired and make it easy to get sick.
篇9:关于英语说明文的写作方法
全文共 8391 字
+ 加入清单就“说明对象”而言,英语说明文可分为对“客观具体事物”的说明和对“主观抽象观念”的说明两大类,比如:对“LASER(激光)”、“Computer Problem of Year XX(计算机XX年问题)”等等的说明都是对客观或者具体事物的说明,而“The Successful Interview(谈成功的面试)”、“How to Write Good English Composition(如何才能写好英语作文)” 等是对主观抽象观念的说明。对我们中学生朋友来说,在汉语说明文的教学中似乎比较侧重前者,即解释客观具体事物的说明文。但在英语说明文中,阐述和说明 “主观抽象观念”的说明文占了很大的比重,其中有些类似汉语中的议论文。但是无论是对“客观具体事物”的说明还是对“主观抽象观念”的阐述,英语说明文从结构上看大致可分为三个部分:第一部分一般是文章的第一段,提出文章的主题,也就是说,文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容;第二部分是文章的主体,可由若干个段落组成,对文章的主题进行展开说明;第三部分是结尾段,对文章的主题作归纳总结。从英语说明文的结构可以看出,要写好英语说明文的关键在于第二部分如何对文章主题进行展开说明。在英语中,常见的用来展开文章主题的方法有下列几种:
1.罗列法(listing)
在文章开始时提出需要说明的东西和观点,然后常用first,second,…and finally加以罗列说明。罗列法广泛地使用于各类指导性的说明文之中,下面这篇学生作文就是用罗列法写成的:
Early Rising
Early rising (早起) is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us fit (健康)。 We all need fresh air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, we can do good to our health from doing morning exercise (做早操)。
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. We learn more quickly in the morning, and find it easier to remember what we learn in the morning.
Thirdly, early rising enables (使能够) us to plan the work of the day. We cannot work well without a good plan. Just as the plan for the year should be made in the spring, so the plan for the day should be made in the morning.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our faces and hands and eat our breakfast properly.
Late risers may find it very difficult to form the habit of early rising. They ought to make special efforts to do so. As the English proverb says,“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
罗列法经常用下列句式展开段落,我们可以注意模仿学习:
There are several good reasons why we should learn a foreign language. First of all, …Secondly, …And finally, …
We should try our best to plant more trees for several good reasons First of all, …Secondly, …And finally,
必须指出的是,有时罗列法并不一定有明确的first, second…等词,但文章还是以罗列论据展开的。
2.举例法(examples)
举例法是用具体的例子来说明我们要表达的意思,常用for example, for instance, still another example is…等词语引出。下面这篇学生作文就是用举例法写成的:
Recreation
It is impossible to keep in good health unless we take enough recreation (娱乐)。 The mind, too, needs change to make it fresh and vigorous (有活力的) There is much truth in the old saying, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.“
There are many games which boys and girls can play after their school work is done, for instance, football, tennis, and kite-flying. Other examples of recreation are boating, fishing, gardening, cycling, walking, chess-playing, and reading. Persons who sit much at their business should take a kind of recreation that will supply their muscles (肌肉) with exercise. Those who spend most of their time in the open air and do manual work (体力活) should adopt (采纳) reading or some other quiet form of recreation.
Cycling is said to be an important means of recreation, but many persons foolishly tire out themselves by cycling too much. The same may be said in regard to football. Tennis is a pleasant form of recreation. Many persons take great delight in boating. Fishing requires much patience, and there is much danger of taking cold by sitting still on a cold day too long. A good brisk (轻松) walk is one of the finest forms of exercise. For persons engaged in outdoor labor, chess-playing is another excellent form of recreation.
可以看出,举例法和罗列法有时可以结合使用:即用罗列法来列出例子,用例子充实罗列的说明。
3.比较法(comparison and contrast)
比较法是对两个对象进行比较,从而进行说明的写作手法。比较法又可细分为比较相同点(comparison)和比较不同点(contrast)两种方法,比如:
From Paragraph to Essay
Although they are different in length (长度), the paragraph and the essay are quite similar in structure (结构)。 For example, the paragraph starts with either a topic sentence (主题句) or a topic introducer followed by a topic sentence. In the essay, the first paragraph sets up the topic focus (主题所在) Next, the sentences in the body of a paragraph develop the topic sentence. Similarly, the body of an essay consists of a number of paragraphs that discuss and support the ideas given in the introductory (引导的) paragraph. Finally, a concluding sentence (结束句) ——whether a restatement, conclusion, or observation——ends the paragraph. The essay, too, has a concluding paragraph which ends the essay logically and satisfactorily. Although there are some exceptions (例外), most well written expository (说明文的) paragraphs and essays are similar in structure.
可以看出,在比较相同点的时候,常用到similarly,also,too,in the same case,in spite of the difference等这样的词语。
European Football and American Football
Although European football is the parent of American football, the two games show several major differences. European football, sometimes called association football or soccer, is played in 80 countries, making it the most widely played sport in the world. American football, on the other hand, is popular only in North America (the United States and Canada)。 Soccer is played by eleven players with a round ball. Football, also played by eleven players in somewhat different positions (位置) on the field, is played with an elongated (拉长的) round ball. Soccer has little body contact (接触) between players and therefore needs no special protective equipment. Football, in which players make the greatest use of body contact to stop a running ball-carrier and his teammates, needs special protective equipment. In soccer, the ball is advanced toward the goal by kicking it or by butting (顶) it with the head. In American football, on the other hand, the ball is passed from hand to hand or carried in the hands across the opponents (对手) goal. These are just a few of the features which distinguish (区别) association and American football.
这是一篇用比较不同点的手法写的说明文。从文章中可以看出:however,on the other hand,in contrast,but,nevertheless等表示转折的词语常用来引导对不同点的比较。
4.定义法(definition)
定义法也是英语说明文中常用的写作手法,特别是在对具体事物概念进行说明时经常使用。定义法的基本要素是定义句。英语中常见定义句的模式是:
被定义对象is所属类别+限制性定语
可以看出,定义句中限制性定语越详细,定义就越精确,比如:
A bat is a small mouse-like animal that flies at night and feeds on(以……为食品)fruit and insects but is not a bird.
其实,在英—英词典中,对英语单词的英文解释就是定义法的典型例子。比如,看看Longman词典对student和teacher的定义是很有意思的:A student is a person who is studying at a place of education or training. A teacher is a person who gives knowledge or skill to sb. as a profession (专业)。
5.顺序法(sequence of time, space and process)
顺序法是指按时间、空间或过程的顺序进行说明的一种写作手法。比如按照时间顺序介绍一个科学家的生平,用空间顺序阐述逐渐开发西部的重要意义,用过程顺序法解释葡萄酒的生产过程等等。
下面这篇学生作文就是用顺序法写成的:
Coal
Coal underwent (经受) many changes before it became the bright, brittle (脆的), black substance which we now use. During ancient times (在上古时代), when the earth enjoyed a very warm and wet climate, the land was covered with large forests and big plants. As time went on, the ground changed and began to sink (下沉) a little. These very large numbers of trees and vegetables received a deposit (沉淀) of sand and clay. This layer of sand and clay pressed upon the layer beneath and prevented it from contact with air. These trees and plants received the pres sure and changed its appearance.
Generations after generations (几世纪后), as the ground kept gradually sinking, another layer of sand and clay was again deposited (积聚) above the layers already formed. A great pressure was thus exerted (作用) and the peat (泥煤) was changed into the black and brittle substance which is known as coal.
Coal is a kind of mineral which is formed by nature as above stated. It is an important industrial material and is chiefly used as fuel. It is very valuable in the industrial world. The place where coal deposit is called a coal mine (煤矿)。 In China, coal mines are largely found in the north-west part of the country. Shanxi is a famous province for producing coal. It has the most coal of China.
6.分类法(classification)
分类法是将写作对象进行分类说明的一种写作手法。比如:著名的英国哲学家弗朗西斯·培根(Francis Bacon)在其脍炙人口的《谈读书》(Of Studies)一文中就用到了分类法:
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested, that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books…
参考译文:书有可浅尝者,有可吞食者,少数则须咀嚼消化。换言之,有只须读其部分者,有只须大体涉猎者,少数则须全读,读时须全神贯注,孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读,取其所需摘要,但只限题材较次或价值不高者……
——转摘自《英汉翻译教程》(张培基等)
可见,如果能够根据具体情况,选用合适的写作手法,就可为文章增添无穷的魅力。
除了上述提到的6种展开英语说明文主题的写作方法之外,还有因果法、归纳法等其他方法。但相比之下,对于中学生来说,上述6种方法是首先值得掌握的。另外必须指出的是:在一篇文章中往往是以一种写作手法为主,同时辅以其他写作手法。有时,甚至会几种写作手法混用而不分主次。因此,必须根据具体情况,选用合适的展开主题的写作手法,才能写出优秀的英语说明文。
篇10:导语:以下是关于小学英语写作指导
全文共 1551 字
+ 加入清单小学阶段不同年级的作文有不同要求和写作技巧小学英语写作指导小学英语写作指导。
对于小学3年级的学生,在他们已经掌握好了如颜色(colour)、衣服(clothes)、数字(number)、星期(day of the week)、月份(month)、宠物(pet)、情感(feeling)、身体部位(body)、文具(school things)的基础上进行文章的填空,如果学生能够按照文章的要求写进相关的信息,那就已经很不错了。下面是一个自我介绍的简单例子:
Myself
Hello,my name is_____. I am_____years old.My favourite colour is_____,_____, and_____.My favourite pet is______,_____ and______. My favourite food is_____,______and______.My favourite day is______. My favourite school thing is______and______.My favourite number is and______.I am______today.
上面的这个例子,如果学生能够依次能吧自己的姓名、年龄、喜欢的颜色、喜欢的宠物、喜欢的食物、喜欢的日子、喜欢的文具、喜欢的数字和今天的心情准确无误地写出来,那么就已经能够完成了3年级阶段的作文要求。
对于4年级的学生,可以写一篇介绍自己课室或者自己卧室的文章。下面是一篇4年级学生的介绍课室范文。
My classroom
I am studying at Tongji primary school.I am in Class Two, Grade Four. (介绍自己所在的学校和所在的年级) There is a blackboard in front of the classroom. There are twenty-five desks in our classroom, they are brown. There are many books on the desk. There are fifty students, thirty boys and twenty girls. There is a picture on the wall. There are two fans on the wall. (用there+be句型把班里和摆设和班上的人数都表达出来了) It is tidy and clean.I like my classroom very much.(最后是作者的总结)
对于5年级的学生,作文的要求也提高了很多,很多学生在介绍别人或者是写自己喜欢的小动物的时候很容易忘了第三人称单数动词要加ses,如:He get up at 7 o’clock(get忘了加s),在用到现在进行的时候动词很容易忘了加ing(如I am play the piano,play就忘记了加ing),介词和介词短语也占了很重要的位置如介词in,on,at,of。介词短语如dream of(区分dream that)和be afraid of都是很重要的介词短语,很多学生忘记了介词后面要加动词小学英语写作指导少儿基础英语。
对于6年级的学生,作文考查的是英语的综合应用能力,而且出的题目大部分都是看图作文,这就在一定程度上增加了写作的难度,它也是综合了3年级的分类词汇,4年级的句型,方位介词,5年级的重点介词短语和时态,不过我相信只要平时多点积累单词和句型、多点动笔、多注意语法上的问题、多看作文书,那么就能写出流畅、有深度的文章。

篇16:2024年6月英语六级作文写作技巧
全文共 2170 字
+ 加入清单导语:英语写作除了要求大家在词汇量和语法上有一定的积累外,也需要大家注意总结一些常用的写作技巧。下面是yjbs作文网小编为您收集整理的资料,希望能够对您有所帮助。
一、“功能段落”突破CET写作
诚然,六级写作是需要背模板的,但绝不是盲目地背。
整篇背诵模板不是最有效的方法,因为模板的写作思路是固定的,然而很多时候试题的命题思路可能与所背模板思路不同。因此,可能导致“所背非所考”,甚至导致文不对题,生搬硬套。
但是,无论六级写作话题如何变化,一般都对应三个或两个汉语提纲。只要按提纲要求去写相应的内容段落,就做到了紧扣主题。历年写作提纲可以总结为六种功能段落:现象描述、危害分析(弊)、原因分析、建议措施、观点阐述(观点的本质为利弊:支持方观点等于分析“利”,反方观点等于分析“弊”)、意义阐述(利)。
如果能够掌握住六种功能段落的写作实际就掌握了六级考试写作考题的最本质特征。那样的话,无论题目如何变化,我们准备都是有的放矢的。反观,死背模板容易导致生搬硬套,甚至文不对题。
二、写作短期提分方略
在了解了六级考试在命题特点的基础上,考生在备考阶段最需要准备的是两个内容:思路和表达。思路解决怎么写的问题,表达解决写什么的问题。如果拿到一个作文题目,你知道应该按照什么思路去写,又知道应该写什么表达,这篇作文就已经成功了一半。
表达积累
表达分为四个层次:词句段篇。其中篇章层面只要按照提纲要求去组织文章即可,因此篇章方面不足为虑。段落方面按照“功能段落”的六种形式去识别,也小菜一碟。
背写:思路+表达
很多同学考前也在背,背的滚瓜烂熟,脱口而出,觉得自己水平很牛!上了考场也顺利将文章写了出来,却得了一个很低的分数,为什么?因为单词都拼错了。请牢记:口头背诵得再好不等于能够写对。背写是提高写作和翻译唯一也是最有效的方法。
那么,背写什么内容哪?答案是思路和表达。思路上文中已有论述,遣词和造句的表达方面应该紧密结合功能段落来背诵有效句式和用词。考生不必刻意追求适用难词,但可以将常见词汇稍作替换:如,
exceedingly, extremely, intensely替换very;
an army of/a great many/a host of 替换a lot of;
advancement 替换 development;
positive, favorable, promising(有希望的), perfect, pleasurable, excellent, outstanding, superior替换good;
give rise to, lead to, result in, trigger 替换cause;
harbor the idea that, take the attitude that, hold the view that替换think;
beneficial, rewarding替换helpful;
bear in mind that替换remember;
enjoy, possess替换have;
shopper, client, consumer, purchaser替换customer……
表达精彩体现在三个方面:遣词、造句、连贯。
三、复习安排建议
总体原则:先背再写、阶段总结、适当模拟。
先背再写:基础较差同学一定要先背一些功能句式和教材相关范文,然后模仿该作文的思路和表达去写。背写的目的是积累语言表达实力,同时练习书写的公正和优美。建议书写较差的考生买本英语字帖练一下书写,也许你会有意外的惊喜。
阶段总结:每过一周就要问自己几个问题:所背诵的表达可以用来写什么类型的文章?该类文章的相关词汇或表达有什么?关键词如何避免重复?请记住:没有复习,没有巩固。
适当模拟:在熟练掌握背写了六种功能段落的思路和表达之后,可以结合适当题目在写作中运用所讲所背所总结提分词汇、句式。建议大家能够灵活运用,做到一例多用。
附注:
中心句放开端
文章中心句是整个文章的主题和写作围绕的中心,通常应该放在段落的开端,这样一方面能够让阅卷老师一眼看出文章表达的主旨意思,起到开门见山的作用;另一方面可以使文章条理层次更加清晰,逻辑性强,文章的整体结构合理。中心句在作文中可以起到承接上下文的作用,放在段尾也可以起到总结全文的作用。这一方法对于写作初学者来说还是有一定困难的,因此在六级考试中,为了减少不必要的错误和损失,大家尽量将中心句放到文章的开头以保万无一失。
关键词要具体
文章的中心句一般是通过关键词来表现和限制文章的主旨思想的,所以为了突出主题,关键词需要尽量写得具体些。这里对“具体”的要求主要体现在两个方面:一方面是要具体到能限制和区分文章段落层次的发展;另一方面是要具体到能说明段落发展的方法。精确仔细地突出关键词是清楚地表达文章主旨、写好段落中心句的重要前提之一,这对考生来说有一定难度。
设问扩充内容
中心句及关键词确定后,文章的大概框架已经清晰了,这时候就需要选择和主题有关的信息和素材来填充这个框架。实质上,针对关键词测试每一个所选择的素材就是一个分类的过程。有一种常用的行文方法就是句子展开前加以设问,然后解答,即设问-解答(why-because)的方法,利用问题引出自己需要的话题再加以解答表现自己的观点,同时紧紧围绕主题。
