三. 四級(jí)作文評(píng)分原則
CET作文采用總體評(píng)分(Global Scoring)方法。閱卷人員就總的印象給出獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)分(Reward Scores),而不是按語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)的錯(cuò)誤數(shù)目扣分。
1. 第一段要推敲
第二段看有沒有主題句,第一句就寫主題句
第三段總結(jié)
看作文就是看兩點(diǎn):第一看組織結(jié)構(gòu),第二看語(yǔ)言表達(dá)
2.檢查五個(gè)方面的語(yǔ)言錯(cuò)誤:
1)檢查三個(gè)一致問題:主謂一致,時(shí)態(tài)一致,單復(fù)數(shù)一致
4)檢查拼寫錯(cuò)誤
3.格式有2種:
(1)每一段縮進(jìn)去4個(gè)字母,每一段之間不空行(傳統(tǒng)格式)
(2)每一段頂格寫,每一段之間空一行(流行格式)
4.評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn):
11分――切題。表達(dá)思想清楚,文字連貫,但有少量語(yǔ)言錯(cuò)誤。
14分――切題。表達(dá)思想清楚,文字通順,連貫性好?;緹o(wú)語(yǔ)言錯(cuò)誤,僅有個(gè)
別小錯(cuò)。
字?jǐn)?shù)不足酌情扣分。
注:只寫一段者:0-4分;只寫兩段者:0-9分(按規(guī)定三段的作文)提供三點(diǎn)提
綱的作文
建議:無(wú)論提綱是幾點(diǎn),都要寫到三段或四段
經(jīng)原國(guó)家教委批準(zhǔn),四、六級(jí)考試已從1997年6月份起采用“作文最低分”制計(jì)算成績(jī),其中足見國(guó)家對(duì)提高大學(xué)英語(yǔ)寫作能力的重視程度。按規(guī)定,考生作文若為0分,無(wú)論其總分是否高于60分,均作不及格處理;若其作文分高于0分,低于6分,報(bào)成績(jī)時(shí),需從總分中減去6分,再加上實(shí)得作文分。也就是說,要從總分中減去實(shí)得作文分與6分之間的差額部分。
四. 四級(jí)英語(yǔ)作文范文
(一)正反闡釋題
1. Should Firecrackers Be Banned?
2. Do “Lucky Numbers” Really Bring Good Luck?
(二)闡釋原因、描述危害題
提綱變主題句的技巧:
1)如為疑問句,一定要變?yōu)殛愂鼍?;(提綱必須是陳述句)
2)如果是短語(yǔ),要變?yōu)榫渥印?/p>
3. Don’t Hesitate to Say No(99年1月)
4. My View on Fake Commodities(98年1月)
1)學(xué)會(huì)將兩點(diǎn)提綱變?yōu)槿c(diǎn)
2)寫危害兩個(gè)層面:
A.對(duì)國(guó)家/政府/社會(huì)的危害
B.對(duì)普通百姓的危害
(三)永恒話題
5. Haste Makes Waste(97年1月6級(jí))
6.Practice Makes Perfect(97年1月)
總結(jié)(三種寫法):
1. 完全把握提綱:三點(diǎn)提綱變成主題句
2. 寫社會(huì)現(xiàn)象往往缺少引言段(描述現(xiàn)象)
3. 寫成語(yǔ)、格言這樣的文章一般缺少總結(jié)段
(四)再推薦一種模式
有時(shí)按照提綱完全打不開思路:
A. 第一段:寫現(xiàn)象(提出問題)
B. 第二段:寫原因(分析問題)
C. 第三段:寫建議(解決問題)
7.Brain Drain
8.Fire Accidents in Big Cities
(五)圖表作文
圖表作文三段的寫法:
1)第一段寫圖表的總的感覺,說明圖表在講一種什么社會(huì)現(xiàn)象。(對(duì)數(shù)據(jù)點(diǎn)到為止)
2)第二段寫出現(xiàn)這些現(xiàn)象的原因
3)第三段有三種寫法:
A.如果圖表反映的是壞現(xiàn)象:建議采取什么措施(點(diǎn)到為止);
B.如果圖表反映的是好現(xiàn)象:展望未來;
C.如果圖表反映的是非好非壞的現(xiàn)象:發(fā)表自己的議論。

1.Working at a part-time job while studying at a university has many advantages.If students can get a job in their area of study, they are gaining valuable experience and putting their
knowledge to use immediately.The extra money they can earn will be useful for meeting tuition fees and enjoying university activities.Also, they will have the personal satisfaction of having contributed to their own education.Students who need extra money can hold down a full-time temporary job during their summer vacation.2.Hobbies are important for many reasons.First, a hobby can be educational.For example, if the hobby is stamp collecting, the person can learn about the countries of the world and even some of their history.Second, engaging in the hobby can lead to meeting other people with the same interests.A person can also meet other people by going to parties.Third, a person’s free time is being used in a positive way.The person has no time to be bored or get into mischief while engaged in the hobby.Finally, some hobbies can lead to a future job.A person who enjoys a hobby-related job is more satisfied with life.3.There are several features of spoken English that make it difficult for me to understand.First, many words are not pronounced as they are spelled, so when I learn new words through reading, I sometimes don’t understand them when they are spoken.Second, native speakers contract words and phrases.“What are you doing?” becomes “Whatcha doin?” In my opinion, people should write clearly.Third, native speakers have a wide range of accents.A British accent is very different from a Texas one.Fourth, there are lots of idioms and slang expressions.These expressions also differ depending on the area a speaker is from.Finally, there are sounds that don’t exist in my language but do exist in English and vice versa.These sounds are difficult for me to distinguish.

第三篇:大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試寫作指南
大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試寫作指南:現(xiàn)象闡釋型
本文作者: 趙子凌
這類寫作類型是以當(dāng)下比較流行的社會(huì)現(xiàn)象為話題展開的寫作。一般題目即為現(xiàn)象,要求考生對(duì)現(xiàn)象進(jìn)行較為詳盡的闡釋,包括分析該現(xiàn)象產(chǎn)生的原因或可能帶來的后果,并要求考生談?wù)勛约簩?duì)于該現(xiàn)象的看法或建議。
基本解題思路:描述現(xiàn)象,分析原因,自己對(duì)這個(gè)現(xiàn)象的看法。但有時(shí)提綱結(jié)構(gòu)會(huì)稍加變化,第二部分要求分析后果而不是原因,寫作時(shí)以具體提綱為準(zhǔn)。
以2007年12月四級(jí)寫作真題為例:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic What Electives to Choose.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.1.各大學(xué)開設(shè)了多種多樣的選修課
2.學(xué)生因?yàn)楦鞣N原因選擇了不同的選修課 3.以你自己為例??
審題
根據(jù)題目中所給的中英文提示,可知話題是大學(xué)生非常熟悉的“選修課的選擇”。因此考生在寫的時(shí)候可以結(jié)合自己的實(shí)際情況進(jìn)行分析,這樣易于下手。中文提綱中的三個(gè)句子分別對(duì)應(yīng)article的三個(gè)段落,可以作為各段落的主題句。
擴(kuò)展提綱
1.開門見山地指出“各個(gè)大學(xué)開設(shè)了多種多樣的選修課”這一現(xiàn)象。
2.闡述不同學(xué)生選擇選修課的不同原因,如有的同學(xué)是出于興趣,有的是為以后求職做準(zhǔn)備。3.談?wù)勛约哼x擇選修課時(shí)的考慮并解釋。
范文
Nowadays, colleges offer a wide range of elective courses for undergraduates.Students from different departments may sit in the same classroom and study a subject that may have nothing to do with their majors.There is no doubt that elective courses are welcomed by students, but the reasons for each student to make his/her own choice differ.Some students choose a course merely out of their personal interest in a certain field, while others may take the utility of the course into consideration and expect to put what they have learnt into practice after graduation.Some students are inclined to choose courses they are familiar with in order to get a good score in the exam, while others do not care about the exam and choose a course in a little known field.Personally, I’d like to learn from elective courses some knowledge useful for my future job.Elective courses can provide a chance to learn about other professions and give me broader usability.If I can prove my training in business but also have courses in science, I may just win a job over those who strictly majored in business with no other interests.(195 words)老師評(píng):這篇文章感覺只是一篇中規(guī)守距的短文,主要問題是沒有按四六級(jí)作文三段結(jié)構(gòu)來寫,表達(dá)不夠多樣性。選修課在英文中可以表達(dá)為:electives, elective courses, optional, optional courses;專業(yè)可以用majors, departments, programs;
練習(xí)題
2011年6月四級(jí)寫作真題 Online Shopping 1.現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物已成為一種時(shí)尚
2.網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物有很多好處,但也有不少問題 3.我的建議
四級(jí)作文高分秘訣
一.寫得對(duì)
首先要保證審題正確,以免跑題。提綱式作文是四級(jí)作文中很常見的一種題型,建議考生在讀題過程中將提綱中的關(guān)鍵詞劃出來,從而明確方向。
二.寫得多
寫作文最怕的是言之無(wú)物,干癟無(wú)味??忌R姷膯栴}是觀點(diǎn)確定后無(wú)法展開論證。針對(duì)這個(gè)問題,建議考生在平時(shí)廣泛地閱讀報(bào)刊雜志,有效擴(kuò)充自己的文化背景知識(shí),有意識(shí)地積累名人軼事等素材。這與死記硬背范文有明顯區(qū)別。
三.寫出彩
要想四級(jí)作文出彩。一個(gè)小竅門就是注意所用語(yǔ)言的多樣性。因?yàn)樗募?jí)作文的篇幅不長(zhǎng),所以盡量不要讓同一個(gè)單詞反復(fù)出現(xiàn)。為了避免單詞的重復(fù)使用,我們可以使用近義詞或者同義的短語(yǔ)。如“主要的原因”:main reasons。Main可以替換為primary, essential, crucial,indispensable,fundamental。豐富多變的用詞是article的最大亮點(diǎn)。
在句式方面,要避免單一的簡(jiǎn)單句型,可以適當(dāng)加入倒裝句、強(qiáng)調(diào)句、插入語(yǔ)等句式,做到句式多樣化,為article加分。
作文評(píng)分知多少?
四級(jí)作文滿分15分,閱卷老師從內(nèi)容和語(yǔ)言兩個(gè)方面進(jìn)行綜合評(píng)判,就總的印象給出獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)分:按五個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)給分,一般不會(huì)低于2分,但其他分,如3、4、6、7、15分也是會(huì)有的。報(bào)道分和翻譯合并在一起,計(jì)算機(jī)自動(dòng)加權(quán)處理為總分710分的20%(142分),但我看到的最好成績(jī)是130多分。標(biāo)準(zhǔn)如下:
2分 — 條理不清,思路紊亂,語(yǔ)言支離破碎或有多處嚴(yán)重錯(cuò)誤。5分 — 基本切題。思想不清楚,連貫性差。有較多的嚴(yán)重語(yǔ)言錯(cuò)誤。
8分 — 基本切題。部分思想不夠清楚,文字勉強(qiáng)連貫;語(yǔ)言錯(cuò)誤頗多,包括一些嚴(yán)重錯(cuò)誤。11分 — 切題。思想清楚,文字連貫,有少量語(yǔ)言錯(cuò)誤。
14分 — 切題。思想清楚,文字通順,連貫性較好,語(yǔ)言僅有個(gè)別小錯(cuò)。
(注:“嚴(yán)重語(yǔ)言錯(cuò)誤”包括句子結(jié)構(gòu)錯(cuò)誤、時(shí)態(tài)語(yǔ)態(tài)錯(cuò)誤和用詞錯(cuò)誤,嚴(yán)重影響作者意思的表達(dá)。)
一般來說,離要求詞數(shù)每少10個(gè)扣一分(按一行算)??傇~數(shù)超過要求一般不會(huì)扣分,但這并不意味著詞數(shù)越多越好,建議控制在150-180詞左右。明顯筆誤不扣分。
第四篇:大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試-寫作篇
大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試——寫作篇
(一)2004年初教育部高教司組織制定并在全國(guó)部分高校開始試點(diǎn)《大學(xué)英語(yǔ)課程教學(xué)要求(試行)》,《教學(xué)要求》規(guī)定,大學(xué)英語(yǔ)課程的教學(xué)目標(biāo)是:培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的英語(yǔ)綜合應(yīng)用能力,特別是聽說能力,使他們?cè)诮窈蠊ぷ骱蜕鐣?huì)交往中能用英語(yǔ)有效地進(jìn)行口頭和書面的信息交流。在《大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四、六級(jí)考試改革方案(試行)》中,寫作能力測(cè)試部分(Writing)比例為15%,其中題材包括議論文、說明文、應(yīng)用文等。
? 命題趨勢(shì)
從題型上看,2000年之前,四級(jí)作文主要考議論文,從2000年起作文命題指導(dǎo)思想開始變化,開始考更能體現(xiàn)考生實(shí)力的記敘文、描寫文以及書信演講類應(yīng)用文。自2000年1月至2006年6月十三次考試中除2006年1月“Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?”2003年1月“It Pays to Be Honest”及2000年6月“Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?”外,其他九次皆為 說明文、記敘描寫文或應(yīng)用文。最后這兩類文章是考查考生英語(yǔ)表達(dá)基本功的最佳方式,因此近年來成為出現(xiàn)頻率最高的題型。
從題材上看,四級(jí)考試作文命題貼近大學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)和課余生活,反映社會(huì)變化、發(fā)展和進(jìn)步。在平常的訓(xùn)練中,論說文重點(diǎn)準(zhǔn)備關(guān)于大學(xué)校園生活的話題,如學(xué)習(xí)生活、社會(huì)工作、兼職打工等;應(yīng)用文重點(diǎn)在咨詢信、投訴信、介紹信、請(qǐng)求信、建議信、道歉信、邀請(qǐng)信等私人和公務(wù)信函以及開幕詞等致辭的寫法。
? 題材類型
四級(jí)考試作文出題形式包含有圖表類以及非圖表類兩大形式,其中非圖表類有:
(1)觀點(diǎn)論述題——提出明確個(gè)人觀點(diǎn),并對(duì)已經(jīng)提出的觀點(diǎn)提供充分、符合邏輯的論據(jù)。常用句型表達(dá)有:
In my opinion??I ' m of the opinion that??I think??I argue for(against)??I have three main reasons for my opinion??
(2)不同物比較題——將兩物進(jìn)行比較(compare)或?qū)φ?contrast),比較兩物/兩觀點(diǎn)的相同點(diǎn),對(duì)照兩個(gè)方面的相異點(diǎn)。常用表達(dá)有:
Similarly??on the contrary??in contrast??contrary to??prefer A to B??
Compare with A??B has the following advantages??I like A more for the following reasons??
(3)不同觀點(diǎn)比較題 ——常用表達(dá)有:
Different people have different opinions??some people insist that?,while others maintain??
(4)信件
2002年6月的四級(jí)作文考了圖表題。進(jìn)行此類作文時(shí),考生切忌堆砌數(shù)據(jù),而應(yīng)對(duì)圖表進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)確地概括和描述后用更多的篇幅來揭示圖表的含義或分析其現(xiàn)象的原因。
? 寫作要求

第五篇:大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)短文聽力
大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)短文聽力:提問方式及解題對(duì)策
短文聽力的提問方式最常見的有4種類型。
1.中心思想題。這類問題主要是測(cè)試文章的主題思想。
提問方式有:What is the main idea of the passage? What can we learn from this passage? What is the best title for this passage? What is the passage mainly about? What is the speaker talking about?等等。
做這一類題時(shí)一定要注意集中精力聽好短文的開頭,因?yàn)樗募?jí)聽力短文一般會(huì)開門見山,把中心思想置于文章的開頭。另外,如果文中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)同一詞匯或同一類詞匯,同樣也值得我們特別注意,因?yàn)榘羞@類詞匯的選項(xiàng)能較好地體現(xiàn)中心思想,通常就是正確答案。
2.事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。所考察的細(xì)節(jié)包括具體時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、主要人物或事件、各種數(shù)字等,問題一般為wh-question的形式。
這類題要求我們聽到文中出現(xiàn)時(shí)間、數(shù)字時(shí)一定要特別敏感,及時(shí)做好筆記;另外,文中一旦出現(xiàn)以因果連詞(如because, so, due to等)和轉(zhuǎn)折連詞(如but, however, though等)引導(dǎo)的句子也要格外留心,這些地方往往就是考點(diǎn)。
3.對(duì)錯(cuò)判斷題。這類題常用以下提問方式:Which of the following is true/not true, according to the passage? Which of the following is not mentioned?等等。聽到這類題時(shí),一定要聽清提問,對(duì)于有沒有not一詞要弄清楚。一般情況下,not一詞會(huì)重讀。
4.推理推測(cè)題。這類題需要對(duì)文中的信息進(jìn)行分析推斷,才能作出正確的選擇。提問方式有:What can be infer from the passage? What does the speaker think about the problem...? What does the speaker most concerned about? How does the writer feel about...?等等。
做這類題時(shí)一定要注意與短文內(nèi)容一樣的不是推斷,而且一定要根據(jù)短文的觀點(diǎn)而不是根據(jù)自己的觀點(diǎn)來推斷。
