第一篇:六級寫作(寫寫幫整理)
很感謝作者總結的關于六級考試中如何寫好作文的方法。文章太長,我去掉了細枝末節(jié),把認為精彩的部分貼出來,和大家分享。
再次感謝原作者,因為文章是匿名所寫,故無法注明出處和作者名。
12月份六級考試臨近,希望所有與我一樣為CET6奮斗的朋友,在學習此文后,在作文部分拿到理想成績。
PS 我建議大家仔細體會文章介紹的幾個句型,熟悉作者列出的替代詞和銜接詞組,對于基礎欠佳的朋友可以背幾個給出的模板。我相信,每個認真看完這篇貼的人,這次六級作文都能考上100分。
pps 有一些排版沒編輯好,粗體和下劃線沒顯示出來,今天有點事,明天再來編輯。
五大閃光點及其應用
當批卷老師已經大致決定一篇文章的分數段時候,她靠什么來決定最后給出的分數呢?比如,8-10分是一個分數段,11-13分也是一個分數段。那到底最后給出是8分還是10分,或者是11分還是13分到底是取決于什么呢?根據Global Scoring的原則,這是取決于批卷老師所看到她能認為寫得精彩句子的個數。而本章所討論的內容,就是我總結出的比較簡單而又實用的所謂“閃光點”。
我在看到一篇六級作文的題目后,首先是分析其類型,然后就是考慮如何把閃光點應用到該篇文章里以及如何根據圍繞這些閃光點來“編造”這篇文章。這里有個小訣竅。你可以在考試時候故意把你的字體寫小點,等到寫你認為比較精彩的句子時候再恢復原大小。這樣就會使批卷老師更容易發(fā)現你所寫的精彩之處。當然,這是需要練習的,而且對你寫字的漂亮與否有很高要求。如果你本身寫字就不甚雅觀,那還是別采取這種方法了吧,那會讓你的文章看起來更亂的。OK,讓我們進入正題。所謂的五大閃光點,其實估計每個“真正”經歷過高考英語的人都會很熟悉。它們其實就是我們高中所學的比較復雜的語法。說復雜,指的是我們當時做Multiple Choice時候可能會覺的挺頭疼的問題。當然,想真正運用自如的把它們應該到寫作中也是很難而且需要下苦功夫的。我們在這里只是在它們中每個找一個或者幾個簡單好記而又適用范圍比較廣的應用例子。這其實是一種不怎么可取的方法,不過作為短時間提高寫作的捷徑,還是有點價值的。下面讓我們來看看五大閃光點都有哪些:
虛擬語句。虛擬語句曾經是我們高中最討厭的語法,什么對現代虛擬用過去時,對過去虛擬用過去完成時啥的聽起來那就是腦袋蒙啊。所以,關于虛擬語句的應用,我選了兩個比較簡單而又適用性又比較廣泛的句型:
A: If I were ??, I would + 動詞原形 意思是如果我是??,我會??.B: It is high time that + 一般過去時 意思是 ??已經刻不容緩了。這兩個句型基本每篇文章都能用到,而且基本都在最后一段。
2.強調句型。強調句型相對來說比結構比較單一。主要就是兩種:對人強調的who和對物強調的that。為了讓句子更加精彩,我加入了個插入語:more than anyone/anything else.A: It is/was ??, more than anyone else, who?? 對人的強調
B: It is/was ??, more than anything else, that/which ?? 對物的強調 3.倒裝結構。這里我們只使用程度副詞放在句首時候引起倒裝這種情況。而且,我們一般只用only。我推薦的是以下兩個句子結構:
A: Only in this way/under successful control/special circumstances/after careful considerations can we??.只有??我們才能?? B: Not only + 倒裝,but +主語+also 不但??而且??
引用諺語。背幾個常用的諺語,并用正確的形式表達出來,也能成為文章的一大閃光點。我推薦以下兩種引入諺語的句子結構:
A: Just as the proverb/idiom/slang goes: “??.”, it is ?? 最簡單的引入諺語結構 B: An inspiring/A warning proverb/idiom/slang echoing in my mind goes as: “??.”,and it indicates that??/so is 這個使用時候注意分清楚是正面諺語還是反面諺語,正面用inspiring,反面用warning。而且不要把不定冠詞用錯了。后面有一個常用英語諺語表,是我從一本托福作文書上復印下來的,有空看看,記下來幾個,將來肯定能用到。
非限定性定語從句。非限定性定語從句是用來修飾逗號前面的整個一句話的結構,只能用which引導。我喜歡用非限定性定語從句結構表示某件事物的重要性,如下:
主語(最好動名詞)is regarded/considered/viewed as a essential/ignorable/wise賓語(可以是complement, turning point, decision等等), which is of vital importance/significance.怎樣把以上這些閃光點應用到實際的作文題目中去?現在讓我舉幾個例子來解釋一下: Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled“Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists? ”You should write at Least 120 words following the outline given below :
1.名校校園正成為旅游新熱點
2.校園是否應對游客開放,人們看法不同
3.我認為??
這是2005年12月的四級寫作題目。雖然是四級作文,但其實和六級作文題目的議論文很像?,F在讓我們來看看是如何把以上閃光點應用到這個題目上的。當然,所謂的應用是需要一點發(fā)散思維和想象力的。
假設你認為校園不應該對游客開放,你可以在最后一段這樣寫:
As far as I am concerned, I strongly object to the issue.It is university campus tourism, more than anything else, that has an inevitably negative impact on the students’ daily studies and lives.Therefore, if I were the government decision maker, I would set regulations to stop any tourist from paying a visit to the university campus as quickly as I can.或者,你認為雙方觀點都不太對,想中庸一下,可以這樣寫:
For my part, both sides are lop-sided.A warning proverb echoing in my mind goes as: “Fire is a good servant but had a bad master”, and so is university campus tourism.Only under successful control can we minimize the negative impacts and maximize positive impacts.As a result, it is high time that government made relevant regulations to make this newly developing industry more standardized.另一個例子。
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a company declining a job offer.You should write at Least 150 words following the outline given below:
1.對公司提供職位表示感謝
2.解釋為何不能接受所提供職位的原因
3.希望予以諒解,并表達對公司的良好祝愿.這是2005年12月六級寫作題目,書信寫作。你可以這樣寫:
I do appreciate your giving me this priceless opportunity to show my talents.Choosing the right career is regarded as a turning point in one’s life, which is of vital importance.As far as I am concerned, I firmly assure that it is the job offered by you that fits me best.However, I have been admitted by a famous foreign university recently, and the discipline that I was enrolled makes me very excited.Consequently, I was involved in a dilemma as to whether I should choose shark’s fin or bear’s paw.After long-time careful considerations, I am ultimately determined to decline your job offer.It is the further developing foreground, more than anything else, that forces me to make such a hard decision.Not only can I learn advanced professional knowledge there, but I am also able to improve my oral English.其實關于這些閃光點的應用例子還有很多。但具體怎么在文中使用還是經過很多練習才能掌握的。一個能熟練使用以上結構的人,可以在看到題目一分鐘之內就想出如何在文中體現出這些結構。但是,有一個是非常重要的前提,那就是一定要正確的使用!所以嘛,我建議“有幸”讀到本“文”的XDJM們平常一定要多練習練習,哪怕就像我上面那樣寫某篇文章的一小段就可以,關鍵是盡量嘗試把這些結構中的兩個或者更多應用到一起去,并通過銜接詞和有效的過渡來使得文章更通順。
單詞替換
四級作文和六級作文在要求上有什么區(qū)別?或者說,大學作文和高中作文在要求上有什么區(qū)別?除了對字數的要求更多了,體裁上略有變化之外,就是對文中所出現的詞匯的豐富度有著不同的要求。按照教學大綱的要求,那些我們天天背的單詞是需要知道怎么在文章中使用的。四級作文就要使用四級的詞匯,六級作文就要使用六級的詞匯。當然,這對很多學生來講是有點難度的。因為他們對那些他們背起來都饒口的單詞的用法那是相當陌生的。還有一點很重要的就是,如果一個單詞在文章中出現很多次,應該想辦法用不同的方式來表達出來以顯示詞匯的豐富程度。比如表示“能夠”這個含義,我們可以用can, be able to, be capable of, not beyond one’s ability/ capability, be qualified to等等。這就是英語中所謂的word variety,通過意思相同或者相近的詞或短語的交替使用來使文章的用辭豐富多彩。
那么,我們在一篇六級作文中應該用到多少六級詞匯的?在我看來,有5-10個就足夠足夠。而且,用到的詞匯在詞性上應該有些變化。也就是說,最好有名詞,有動詞,也有形容詞或者副詞。名詞好說,知道單復數可數不可數就可以了。形容詞和副詞只要別用的太離譜就好??墒莿釉~的用法就比叫講究了。首先,你得知道一個動詞是否及物,如果不及物還得知道應該和什么介詞搭配。而且用動詞時候還要考慮時態(tài)變化和主謂一致。這些確實比較麻煩。所以,我們要提前準備一些可以相互替換的各種類型詞匯好用來熟練的使用在六級作文中。其實,很多時候記憶一些據有相近意思的詞不是很困難的。比如表示“考慮”這個意思,你能想出幾種說?think about? consider? 這些都是些高中的詞匯。所以,這些都不能成為文章中的亮點。作為一個大學生,最起碼得知道個take something into consideration吧?再多知道點,把consideration換account,也是一個意思。此外相同意思的還有allow for,make allowances for。如果有一篇需要表達很多次“考慮”這個意思的文章,而你又恰當的使用了以上幾個不同的短語,那絕對是文章的一個得分點。下面這些是我總結的一些可以替換使用的單詞。注意,其實近意詞其實在含義上還是有微小差別的。而區(qū)分這些詞在高級英語寫作稱為Word Choice。不過在六級中,沒必要分那么細,最重要的是在作文中正確展示出六級詞匯。

Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary? Many advocates firmly hold it inignorable to add a test of spoken without any doubt since the traditional English examinations don’t seem to accurately appraise the true level of one’s English skill.Under such an English education system that attaches little importance to oral practice, it is commonplace to see students with good marks in the exam are not able to speak English even a little bit.In addition, with China’s entrance into WTO, the candidates who are capable of speaking English fluently will be needed and valued more and more popularly.However, people rarely reach an absolute consensus in such a controversial issue.People who dissent from adding a test of spoken English argue English is not the only discipline in the university, and what ought to be given superiority to are those professional knowledge.Adding a test of spoken English may aggravate the burden of college students and thus curtail their time for studying other subjects.As far as I am concerned, I unquestionably consent to the former viewpoint.Oral English is of vital importance for us since one cannot expect to take a piece of paper along with him in order to communicate with foreigners.Not only can a test of spoken English call on the university students to spend more time studying oral English, but it is also able to challenge one as a qualified learner.As a result, just as the proverb goes “Practice makes perfect”, I am planning to do more oral exercises to prepare for that probable change.It is high time that we realized the significance of oral English, isn’t?
變了這九個詞之后,這基本就是一篇14分的作文了。單詞替換看似簡單,其實也需要很多練習。要弄清每個詞的意思,詞性,以及用法。尤其是動詞,更要特別注意。因為我最近在忙準備碩士申請的一系列麻煩問題,所以寫的有點草率,沒有把漢語意思列出來。希望讀到本“文”的GGMM們能自己好好查下字典,弄清楚這些單詞的意思,并盡可能得把他們記憶下來。相信我,當你們能熟練得進行單詞替換時候,就是你們英語水平突飛猛進的時候。如果有什么關于這些的詞的問題,可以咨詢我哈。進步,獲取知識,過六級,這些才是是最重要的嘛。
句子銜接
一個外國人和一個中國人寫的文章,拋開語法應用和單詞運用不談,最大的區(qū)別是什么?答案是對銜接詞的使用。銜接詞,在英語里稱為Transition Words。注意,銜接詞和連接詞(連詞)不同。連詞在英文里是Conjunctive Words,主要是表示連接復句的。一般來說,連詞一般都是銜接詞,而銜接詞不都是連詞。銜接詞主要是指句子和句子間表明邏輯關系的詞。當然,也不是所有的句子間都需要銜接詞來完成過渡的。但一篇好的文章,尤其是議論文,大量的使用銜接詞是必不可少的。不光是句子間,段與段之間也需要銜接詞。比如,在議論文中,我們經常用到First, Foremost, Secondly, In addition, Moreover, What’s more, Besides, However, Nevertheless, Finally, Last but not least等都是銜接詞。下面是個簡單的小例子:
It is 11 pm right now.I don’t have enough money to buy my supper.I feel very hungry.It makes me lack of energy.I decide to stop my work and go to bed.I cannot get into sleep.I am too hungry.是不是讀起來很不舒服?這就是缺少了銜接詞的后果。現在加上些銜接詞,再感覺下: It is 11 pm right now.Since I don’t have enough money to buy my supper, I feel very hungry.In addition, it makes lack of energy.As a result, I decide to stop my work and go to bed.However, I cannot get into sleep because I am too hungry 這樣是不是就感覺流暢多了?這就是銜接詞的作用,讓文章的意思表達的更加清晰,有邏輯性。一般來說,根據表達句與句(段與段,一小部分)之間的關系不同,銜接詞有七種:(斜體表示常用)表示時間和頻率:Generally, In general, soon after, when, while, on the while, usually, rarely, frequently, in most cases, as a rule, at times, meanwhile, as soon as, until, as, just as, at the moment, whenever 表示附加,層進和比較:Additionally, As well as, Just as, again, Along with, Likewise, Also, In the same manner, Further, In the same way, Similarly, In addition to, Besides, And, Moreover, Not only?but also, First/Firstly, To begin with, Second/Secondly, To start with, Third/Thirdly, What’s more, In addition, Furthermore, In the first place, Still, Last but not least, In the end, Foremost, Lastly, In the same way, Equally, Differently, Finally 表示轉折和讓步:Although, Instead, Rather than, But, Nevertheless, Though, However, One the one hand, On the other hand, Otherwise, Despite, In spite of, Instead of, Yet, Rather, Whereas, In contrast, Alternatively, Even so, After all, All the same, Naturally, Admittedly, Frankly speaking, To tell you the truth, Nonetheless 表示因果和結論:All in all, In Consequence, In brief, As a result, In conclusion, Hence, Therefore, Because, Since, In sum, In Summary, To summarize, In short, In a nutshell, To sum up, For, Consequently, Accordingly, For this reason 表示強調和細節(jié):Of course, Indeed, Above all, Most importantly, In fact, Actually, As a matter of fact, Really, In truth, Especially, , In particular, In detail 表示解釋和闡述:In other words, Personally, As far as I am concerned, In my opinion 表示建議和舉例:For example, For instance, With this in mind, For this purpose, 當然,這些并不能完成包括所有的銜接詞。但是,對于六級作文說,這些已經足夠了。至于具體如何使用這些銜接詞,這需要反復的練習和鞏固。熟練而正確的使用銜接詞會使文章感覺更流暢,在英文里稱為Coherence。而且,銜接詞和別的詞一樣,要注意換著使用。比如,用過Because后下面的就可以改用Since或者For,當然也可以用As a result和Therefore等等。再比如,闡述一個論點的許多支持論據,可以用的就更多了,比如In addition, Moreover, Furthermore, What’s more, Besides等等。而表示轉折也可以用However, but和Nevertheless來交替使用。現在讓我們把本章開頭的那段話用別的銜接詞再重新構造一下,如下:
It is 11 pm right now.I feel very hungry because I don’t have enough money to buy my supper.Moreover, it makes me lack of energy.Therefore, I decide to stop my work and go to bed, but I cannot get into sleep, for I am too hungry.大家可不要小看銜接詞哦。這些貌似很簡單的詞匯也是六級作文重要的閃光點。英語老師們99%都是英語專業(yè)畢業(yè)的,而銜接詞用法是英語專業(yè)在寫作中必修課之一。而在非英語專業(yè)里,銜接詞卻沒有被給予足夠視。而這也是為什么那么多大學生的英語作文慘不忍睹的原因之一。如果你能用好這些銜接詞,就能greatly impress批卷老師,從而得到讓人滿意的分數。記住,跟別人不同,才能讓批卷老師心甘情愿的給你高分。
議論文寫作
議論文是六級作文的一個重要組成部分。一般來說,六級的議論文會給你如下的結構: 有些人認為??.另外一些人認為??.(一般跟前面的人看法相反)我的觀點是??
雖然從個人的角度來看,這個結構十分不合理。但沒辦法,誰讓老師這么出題呢。俺也只好從這些方面來考慮了。
先說關于1部分的。很多時候,作文會給你一些句子讓你翻譯或者直接用在文章里。比如10頁那個作文的“Is a test of spoken English necessary?” 所以在使用模板前,要先仔細閱讀下題目,別上來不管三七二十一就開始動筆。在沒有指定首句的情況下,可以采用一下模板:
Recently, there has aroused a controversial/heated debate/contention as to/over whether __________.Those people who approve of/are in favor of/support/pronounce for the practice/viewpoint/issue of _____(The advocates)firmly/undoubtedly hold/believe/assure that _________ since/because ___________.What’s more, they also claim/allege that ___________.In addition, they further state that ______________.(if needed)關于2部分。首先,從1部分到2部分最好有一個轉折。這個銜接其實從整篇文章的角度上看對內容的闡述是沒有什么重要作用的。但是,我們可以提前準備這句話,把前面所涉及到的各種閃光點加到這句話中來達到形成得分點的目的。
However, people can rarely reach an absolute consensus on such a controversial issue./ However, just as the proverbs goes: “So many people, so many minds”, it is quite understandable that people from different back grounds put different interpretations on the same issue./However, just as the proverb goes: “Every coin has its two sides”, _____is no exception.這是我比較喜歡又比較好記的三種轉折方式。注意,controversial這個詞如果在1部分里使用了就不要在這里用了。任何時候都要考慮單詞替換。然后下面是2部分剩下的。People who strongly oppose/object to/challenge against/pronounce against ______(The opponents)assert/declare that _________________.Actually, they think/believe that _____________.Moreover, ____________.Furthermore, ____________.(if needed)第3部分主要是提出自己的觀點。這里有大概兩種情況,一種是你同意其中的一方的觀點,另外一種是你認為雙方說的都有道理但都有失偏頗。首先來看第一種情況: As far as I am concerned/With taking all perspectives into considerations/accounts/With making all viewpoints for allowances/Through carefully weighing in my mind, I unquestionably/undoubtedly agree with/side with/prefer/am inclined to take sides with the former(latter)point of view/issue/viewpoint.____________________________________.注意如果使用系動詞應該是I am + adverb + 后面成份。接下來看第二種情況:
As far as I am concerned, both sides are lop-sided.(At first thought, the two ideas seem to be reasonable and attractive, but carefully weighing in mind, I can barely consent to them because both of them are lacking of logical/careful/extensive/broad considerations/thoughts/advisement.)____________________________________.但是,第二種情況一般很少用到。貌似是在自找麻煩??
提出了觀點之后,至于怎么去證明自己的觀點,就是仁者見仁,智者見智了。不過,無非也就是考慮下如何正確的使用那些閃光點。下面讓我們用以上模板來完成一篇六級作文(1999年1月)。
Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic “Reading Selectively Or Extensively?” You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:
1.有人認為讀書要有選擇
2.有人認為應當博覽群書
3.我的看法
Recently, there has aroused a controversial contention over whether one should read selectively or extensively.Those people who approve of the issue of selective reading firmly assure that it is wiser to read selectively since one’s energy is rather limited.What’s more, they also allege that some books are useless, and one should not spend any time reading them.In addition, they further state that one should always attach great importance to reading books correlated to his or her professional field in order to make him or her more competent.However, just as the proverbs goes: “So many people, so many minds”, it is quite understandable that people from different back grounds put different interpretations on the same issue.People who strongly pronounce against reading selectively assert that one should always read extensively.Actually, the opponents believe that reading extensively will broaden one’s vision and lead him or her to a much wider way of thinking.Moreover, they insist that it is reading extensively that helps one become more and more mature.Through carefully weighing in my mind, I am unquestionable inclined to take sides with the latter point of view.Reading extensively is of vial importance on one’s way to grow up.Not only does reading extensively help with absorbing a diversity of knowledge, but it also enables one to function efficiently on an interdisciplinary team.If I were one of those advocates for reading selectively, I would be fairly shameful since I had put forward a wrong issue.下劃線表示用到了五大閃光點,黑體字表示是六級要求掌握的單詞或者短語。雖然寫的比較多,但其實如果掌握這些模板和技巧,在30分鐘內寫出這樣一篇文章是絕對沒有問題的。不過從近年的考試出題趨勢看,這種正反類型的考題似乎已經不受歡迎了。盡管如此,誰也不能保證以后就再也不出這種類型的作文。所以,還是應該看看相關的模板來練習下的。
記敘文寫作
六級的記敘文大致可以分兩種,一種是闡述型,一種是記敘型。從大的方向上講,闡述型和記敘型都可以理解為在翻譯題目要求內容基礎上擴充內容來完成一篇文章。而細分起來,一般闡述型會包含些解釋和強調的內容,而記敘型則沒有該要求。從目前的趨勢看,純粹的記敘型作文已經很少了(好像只有03年的四級作文是)。但是,從另一方面講,書信也可以算做純記敘型的作文。這章我們主要討論的是如何寫好闡述型作文。闡述型作文自從1998年第一次出現后一直是考試的一個熱點,而且根據這幾次考試的出題規(guī)律來看這次考的可能性還不小。For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled “On Piracy” of no less than 150 words.You may base your writing on the following outline:
1.目前盜版的現象比較嚴重。
2.造成這種現象的原因及危害
3.我們應該怎么做
當看到作文題目后,從三段論的角度上考慮,我們腦子里首先應該有這么一個大致的提綱: Phenomenon Description Causes and Effects How should we do? 然后,再考慮五大閃光點應該如何應用到作文中。首先,在最后一段可以用It is high time that 這個虛擬來表示強調吧,而最后一句也可以用一個only放在句首的倒裝來表示強調。其次,在討論危害時候可以用到not only?but also來表示層進吧。當然強調句型也可以用來進一步強調其危害性之大。而諺語和非限定定語從句的使用就比較不固定了,基本是有了靈感就往上拽??偠灾宕箝W光點的應用是需要些想像力的??
接下來開始分析寫作重點和長度分配。第一段是描述部分,一般2-3句話。第二段是表示原因和影響,需要重點寫,5-7句話。最后一段是強調我們應該在做什么,3-5句話。描述原因時候要注意用銜接詞體現出層次。根據以上想法,我們可以大致勾畫出這樣這樣一篇作文:(黑體表示六級詞匯,下劃線表示用到了五大閃光點)
Currently, piracy is becoming unimaginably visible in China.Any product, like tape, CD and hi-tech device can be copied, not to mention book.Shortly after a newly-published book hits the shelves, people will unsurprisingly find its pirated counterparts in the stores.The reasons for the phenomenon, which are obvious to all, can be listed as follows: First and foremost, the price of the products that are pirated is too high that most people cannot afford it.In addition, the price of the pirated products is much lower and, in some cases, the pirated product doesn’t necessarily mean low quality.Last not least, some officials give top priority to economy.They will tolerate, or even encourage, anything so long it can bring them financial income.However, the pirated products really do much harm.Not only do they infringe intellectual property rights, but they also offend against the rules of the market.It is piracy, more than anything else, that make companies investing in invention inevitably run bankruptcy.If the situation stays as it was or ever deteriorates, our society will stop where it is.No advance.No progress.As far as I am concerned, it’s high time that the government called on everyone to start the battle against piracy.Just as the proverb goes: “Every little makes a nickel”, if citizens’ consciousness to resist pirated products get higher, the amount of pirated products will be greatly reduced.Besides, law should be strictly carried out to ban piracy from spreading any further.Only in this way can we put an end to piracy and create a healthy environment for both customers and producers.其實闡述性文章是沒有所謂的模板的,因為誰不知道到底會考哪方面的內容。所以,我們要提高對其文章結構性的認知以及寫作側重點的掌握。這就需要對前面幾部分內容,比如五大閃光點,單詞替換和句子銜接更加熟悉。
書信寫作
書信寫作其實就是帶有書信格式的記敘文寫作。所以,就其內容而言,其實并沒有什么太多好說的。不過,把書信的格式寫好還是很重要的。一般來說,書信寫作可以分成以下幾部分內容:
1、稱呼
2、寒暄語句,引出寫信的目的
3、根據提綱擴展主體段落
4、表明自己的觀點,并結束書信主體段落
5、寒暄句+落款
稱呼一般是Dear XXX, 的形式開頭。如果知道對方的名字或者職務,可以直接寫上。如果題目中沒有給出任何信息(一般不常見)可以說Dear Sir/Madam, 或者To who it may concern,。
開頭的寒暄句根據書信的內容會有不同,不過結尾的寒暄句基本都是一樣的,我一般都喜歡寫B(tài)est wishes to you and your family.。落款也是固定的Sincerely yours, 和名字。至于寫誰的名字,如果題目中給出寫信人的具體名字,就署名一下好了。如果沒給,也不要用自己的名字,隨便編一個就好。還是用我在第二章提到的例子,通過以上五部分把前面的部分補全:(老規(guī)矩)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a company declining a job offer.You should write at Least 150 words following the outline given below:
1.對公司提供職位表示感謝
2.解釋為何不能接受所提供職位的原因
3.希望予以諒解,并表達對公司的良好祝愿 To whom it may concern, Thank you for offering me this great chance to work as an Internet Engineer.I do appreciate your giving me this priceless opportunity to show my talents.Choosing the right career is regarded as a turning point in one’s life, which is of vital importance.As far as I am concerned, I firmly assure that it is the job offered by you that fits me best.However, I have been admitted by a famous foreign university recently, and the discipline that I was enrolled makes me very excited.Consequently, I was involved in a dilemma as to whether I should choose shark’s fin or bear’s paw.After long-time careful considerations, I am ultimately determined to decline your job offer.It is the further developing foreground, more than anything else, that forces me to make such a hard decision.Not only can I learn advanced professional knowledge there, but I am also able to improve my oral English.I must say sorry to you since I have betrayed your expectations one me.I wish that you can accept my apology.What’s more, I do hope that everything goes well in your company.Best wishes to you and your family.Sincerely yours, Jack 書信寫作一般來說還是比較簡單的。除了注意書信格式以外,基本上就是在題目要求的翻譯基礎上再帶點感情的記敘文了。不過,近兩年書信體裁考的次數不少,還是應該引起足夠的重視的。
圖表寫作
圖表寫作在很長一段時間內都被認為是六級作文中最難的一種。其實,拋開那個圖表不談,剩下的內容其實就是一片闡述型記敘文。而且,六級圖表寫作所涉及到的圖表都很簡單,基本都是那種隨著時間變化數據遞增或者遞減變化的圖。而且,圖表作文的要求也比較類似。從近幾年圖表作文的要求上看,其內容大致可以分成以下三部分:
1、說明圖表
2、說明引起變化的原因
3、說明影響或者提出解決辦法 由此我們可以看出,其實除了1的說明圖表外,2,3其實就是闡述型記敘文?,F在讓我們通過一個例子來看如何描述圖表。
For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic People below Poverty Line.1、下圖所示為1978年,1985年1997年中國貧困線以下人口的變化情況,請先描述其變化。
2、請說明發(fā)生這些變化的原因(可從改革開放、高科技在生產中的應用等)
3、你認為解決目前中國貧困人口還有什么困難或者問題。
從表上可以看出,貧困人口是隨著時間逐漸遞減的,而且遞減的速度很快。所以,我們就可以采用圖表作文的開篇模板句:
As the bar chart/table/graph shows/indicates, there is a/an sharp/amazing/unimaginable/astronomical increase/rise(decrease/reduction/decline)in the number of ________.描述完圖表的大概趨勢后,就要對具體數據進行描述了。由于99%的圖表都是數據隨時間變化圖,所以對數據描述也可以用相關模板完成。
As early as___, _____________.Then great changes have take place due to_________.___years later, ___________.From then now, the society has also undergone a major transformation.Arriving in the year ____, ______________.當然,如果時間相隔的比較短,中間的兩句話可以略微修改下。
注意描述變化相關用詞的變化和替換。增加:rise, increase, mount up, go up 下降:reduce, decrease, drop, fall, decline等等。表示上升或者下降程度的形容詞有sharp, amazing, incredible, unprecedented, unimaginable, astronomical, tremendous, enormous, gigantic, stupendous, striking, whacking, prodigious, egregious等等?,F在我們可以根據以上模板來完上面題目的第一段。(老規(guī)矩)As the bar chart shows, there is a tremendous decline in the number of people below poverty line in China during the years of 1978 to 1997.As early as 1978, the number of people below poverty line in China is nearly 250 million.Then great changes have taken place due to the policy of reform and opening.Eight years later, the number had been strikingly reduced to less than 150 million.From then now, the society has also undergone a major transformation.Arriving in the year 1997, the number incredibly dropped to about 25 million.除了第一段外,這篇文章基本就和第六章所討論的闡述型記敘文寫作沒多大區(qū)別了?,F在把剩下兩段補全:
There are several factors contributing to the sharp decrease of the below-poverty population.First and foremost, the reform and opening following 1978 enabled the peasants to become much better off.In addition, with the development of Chinese economy, that policy also improved city dwellers' living standards prodigiously.Furthermore, the high-tech introduced made it possible for the country's economy as a whole to take off.All these result in the stupendous fall of the Chinese population below the poverty line.However, a further reduction in the number of poverty-stricken people is faced with some serious problems.Nowadays, quite few employees have been laid off.What’s more, university graduates also realize that it difficult to find a job to earn a living.Not only is the effect of unemployment discouraging, but it is also challenging.As a result, it is high time that government officers made some regulations to solve the problem.掌握如何去高質量的完成一篇圖表寫作的是很有必要的。還是那句話,除了描述圖表外,圖表寫作跟闡述性記敘文沒啥太大的區(qū)別。而闡述性記敘文那可是寫作考試的重點。所以,圖表寫作完全可以作為我們復習闡述性記敘文寫作的一個補充。
第二篇:六級寫作要點
六級寫作要點
寫作常見錯誤綜述
1.缺少標題;相對于作文長短來說標題太大,應該根據文章的主要內容縮小標題;標題的大小寫不規(guī)范.?作文的標題中的首尾單詞的第一個字母要大寫,另外,中間出現的單詞中,除冠詞,連詞(and, or, but, nor, for),短的介詞和不定式的to要小寫外,其它詞要大寫:
my first visit to the palace museum
?the people without a country
?rules to abide by
?dickens and david copperfield
?what can the artist do in the world of today?
?what reform means to china
?the myth of a “negro literature”
?the English-speaking people in Quebec
My First Visit to the Palace Museum ?The People Without a Country
?Rules to Abide By
?Dickens and David Copperfield
?What Can the Artist Do in the World of Today?
?What Reform Means to China
?The Myth of a “Negro Literature”
?The English-Speaking People in Quebec
2.段落開頭空格不規(guī)范,應該空四至五個字母的距離;
文章要分段,不能全文只有一或兩段,一般要有至少三段,而且開頭結尾段不宜太長,一般各部分不超過四句話。
?3.除去開頭結尾一般就應該是文章的中心部分,這部分的內容不能太少。這部分的內容從字數上應該至少超過開頭結尾的總和。而且,從語言形式上看,要把這部分內容分成幾部分且用關聯詞語進行連接,使這部分從形式上看條理清楚。
?中心部分的內容也要意思上是相互聯系的,如先寫重要的,再寫次要的;或先一方面再寫另一方面。
4.不論議論文寫什么內容,請記住只要寫一個中心觀點??梢蚤_頭段或結尾段亮明你的觀點。
但文章中所有內容都應該為這個中心觀點服務,不論是證明中心觀點的次觀點,還是舉例,請緊緊圍繞你的觀點寫作文。
5.因為是議論文,文章的目的是說服文章讀者認同你的觀點,所以文章要客觀,有說服力。為此,要避免主觀偏激的議論,舉出有說服力的事例或數據,引用名言,做出合理的分析討論。
5.因為是議論文,文章的目的是說服文章讀者認同你的觀點,所以文章要客觀,有說服力。為此,要避免主觀偏激的議論,舉出有說服力的事例或數據,引用名言,做出合理的分析討論。
6.書寫潦草會影響你的得分。單詞拼寫錯誤也常常出現,建議多查字典,考試中對那些沒把握的詞盡量不用。句子的語法錯誤也不少,對此要學好語法,也可通過多練筆請別人改的方法提高。有些表達令人費解,建議寫作完成后嘗試以一個讀者的身份給自己的作文挑刺。
?7.文章的開頭是非常重要的,這是文章的引子。作為讀者, 會從開頭段傳遞出來的信息來對下文的內容有一個合理期待, 如果與期待不符, 會讓讀者覺得文章寫作很不緊湊。
?8要提高寫作不是一朝一夕能做到的,需要下工夫。可以通過多寫作文,多看范文或多背范文,學習寫作知識來提高寫作。平時多背一些好的句型,并能在說的時候盡量用上,多做翻譯練習(口頭的可節(jié)省時間,筆頭能進行細致分析)對提高寫作也很有幫助。
