第一篇：大學(xué)英語寫作十二句作文法

十二句作文法

大學(xué)英語四、六級考試寫作的評分依據(jù)是：文章切題、條理清楚、語言準(zhǔn)確和字?jǐn)?shù)符合要求。所謂切題就是看你寫的作文跑不跑題。所謂條理是指每一段的議論的正反清楚，說明的幾個(gè)方面清楚，描述的時(shí)間正確。語言準(zhǔn)確要求作文的語法詞匯使用正確，符合英語表達(dá)習(xí)慣。

四、六級的作文的字?jǐn)?shù)要求是四級不少于100字，六級不少于120字。針對四、六級考試的作文要求我們提出了十二句作文法，這里所說的十二句作文法不僅包括一般英文寫作的方法而且包括我們在多年考試輔導(dǎo)和閱卷中所總結(jié)出來的一套行之有效的寫作方法。它的具體內(nèi)容有以下幾點(diǎn)。

一、審題

我們拿到作文后第一件要做的事就是審題。審題的作用在于使你的寫作不跑題(如果跑題，條理和語言再好，也得不到及格分，甚至0分)那么審題要審什么呢?

1.體裁(議論文、說明文、描述文)

審題就是要審作文的體裁和題材。因?yàn)槭裁礃拥捏w裁就會用什么樣的題材去寫。那么體裁包括哪些呢?就四、六級考試而言，它包括議論文、說明文和描述文。從近些年來看，四、六級作文不是單一的體裁，而是幾種體裁的雜合體。例如有一次四級作文題是這樣出的：

Directions：

For this you’re your are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Trying to Be A Good University Student． You should write at 1east 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below：

(1)做合格大學(xué)生的必要性

(2)做合格大學(xué)生的必備條件(可從德、智、體等方面談)

(3)我打算這樣做

很多人說這種類型的作文是議論文。我們認(rèn)為說：它是議論文是片面的。因?yàn)椋谝欢我髮憽啊匾浴?，這說明本段體裁是議論文；第二段要求寫“……必備條件”，這說明本段要求寫說明文；而第三段要求寫“……這樣做”，說明本段要求寫的是描述文。所以我們說在大多數(shù)情況下，四、六級作文是三種體裁的雜

合體。

2.根據(jù)不同體裁確定寫作方法

我們審題的目的就在于根據(jù)不同的體裁來確定不同的寫作方法。通過審題，我們可以看出四、六級作文大都是三段式。如上例第一段為議論文、第二段為說明文、第三段為描述文。議論文有議論文的寫作方式、說明文有說明文的寫作方式、描述文也有它自身的寫作特點(diǎn)。

第一段為議論文：它的寫作特點(diǎn)是要有論點(diǎn)和論據(jù)，而且往往從正反兩面來論述。例如上面題目的第一段的寫作思路是：做合格大學(xué)生，會怎么樣(這是從正面論述)；不能做到合格大學(xué)生，會怎么樣(從反面論述)；所以我們要做合格的大學(xué)生(結(jié)論)。

第二段為說明文：它的寫作特點(diǎn)是從幾方面或幾條來說明一個(gè)問題，就跟機(jī)器的說明書一樣，通過1、2、3說明它的用途。就上面的作文而言，我們可從三個(gè)方面(德、智、體)來說明做合格大學(xué)生的必備條件。

第三段為描述文：以“人”為中心描述一個(gè)“做”的過程。跟上兩段相比，本段的主語多為人稱代詞。該段的描述要與第二段相呼應(yīng)。

二、確定主題句

通過審題，我們知道該如何確定寫作的思路。下邊我們就談怎么樣寫。第一步就是要寫主題句。主題句是確保不跑題的前提，只有不跑題才有可能得及格分。寫主題句最保險(xiǎn)的方法就是把中文提綱的各句譯成英語。例如上述作文的三段主題句分別為：

1.It is very necessary to be a good university student.(議論文主題句)

2.There are several respects of necessities to be a good university student.(說明文的主題句)

3．What I will do in the future is the following．(描述文的主題句)

如果要求句是英語就可以把它擴(kuò)充成主題句，例如這樣的一篇作文：Good Health

1．Importance of good health

2．Ways to keep fit

3．My own practice

這樣的作文的要求句就可以擴(kuò)展成主題句。擴(kuò)展后三段的主題句分別為：

1.It is very important to have good health.(將名詞importance變成形容詞important)

2.There are four ways to keep fit for me.(用there be句型)

3.My own practices are the following．(采用原詞)

三、確保文章條理清楚

保證不跑題是寫作當(dāng)中第一重要任務(wù)，第二個(gè)重要任務(wù)就是要做到條理清楚。對于議論文來說，正反面要清楚。對于說明文來說，1、2、3條要清楚，對于描述文來說，誰干什么要清楚。就拿上例Good Health來說，第一段保證正反面要清楚就應(yīng)這樣寫：主題句(It is very important to have good health．)正面句(With good health，we can．．．)，反面句(Without good health

we can do nothing.We can’t do．．．).第二段應(yīng)當(dāng)這樣寫：主題句(There are four ways to keep fit．)，從幾方面說明：First，we should have our break fast in the morning．

Second, we should have a nap at noon．

Third, sports exercises are necessary in the afternoon．

And fourth, we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listeningto the music．．．)

為了使文章更具條理性，我們可以用first（ly），second(ly)，third(ly)等副詞，他們可以使文章的條理性十分突出。作文是主觀性題，要想得高分我們必須把評卷老師考慮進(jìn)去。評卷老師的時(shí)間很短(每份卷子的作文只有一兩分鐘就要閱完)，所以我們在列條條時(shí)最好不用：

To begin with，……After that，……And then，……The next，……The following……At last……。因?yàn)橛眠@樣的詞語不利于閱卷老師看出你作文的條理性。

第三段應(yīng)當(dāng)這樣寫：主題句(My own practices are the following．)具體情況(主語為第一人稱代詞I，與第二段呼應(yīng))

In the morning，I have my breakfast．

At noon，I have a nap．

And in the afternoon，I always play football．

In the evening，I usually listen to the classic music．

四、保證作文符合字?jǐn)?shù)要求的十二句作文法

在四、六級考試中考生一定希望既讓作文達(dá)到字?jǐn)?shù)要求又不至于寫得太多，因?yàn)閷懙锰?，一方面會更多地暴露自己的語言上的弱點(diǎn)，另一方面又會占用過多的寶貴時(shí)間。寫得太多還容易使寫作跑題。解決這些問題的一個(gè)有效的辦法就是采用十二句作文法。

我們知道，四、六級作文大都是三段式。我們算一下，如果我們在每一段中寫上四句話，即主題句加兩, 三句擴(kuò)展句和一個(gè)結(jié)論句就可以了。這樣全篇在十二句左右。每一句十多個(gè)字，這樣就是120-150宇。同時(shí)，我們也提醒大家，不能寫得太多，寫得多容易跑題。在寫作時(shí)，我們要橫向?qū)懽鳎磳懩骋粏栴}的橫段面。例如，上面講到健康的重要性時(shí)，我們只寫四句就可以了。第一句主題句，第二句從正面論述，第三句從反面論述，第四句為結(jié)論句。但有的同學(xué)在寫的時(shí)候說“健康非常重要，”然后就寫“吃波菜非常重要”，因?yàn)椴げ撕胸S富的鐵，鐵對人是非常重要的，因?yàn)椤?。這樣的作文的基本模式是A-BB-CC-DD-正以此類推。這就叫流水賬，沒有中心。我們寫作時(shí)要根據(jù)橫段面去寫，而不要寫成流水賬。避免寫成流水賬的方法是不要就前一句中的一個(gè)非重點(diǎn)詞再進(jìn)行描述。而要對主題句從橫段面去寫，寫完一個(gè)橫段面就不要再對這一橫段面進(jìn)行闡述了，應(yīng)當(dāng)去寫另一個(gè)橫段面。

如果我們感覺字?jǐn)?shù)不夠，就在每一句或某些句子上添加些詞語就行了。例如我們感覺上邊第二段不夠長，就可以這樣來加詞：

主題

句 There are four ways to keep fit．There are four or more ways to keep fit for everyone of us．從幾方面說明：

First，we should have our breakfast in the morning．

Firstly，we should have our breakfast，such as milk，eggs，bread and so on，in the morning．

Second，we should have a nap at noon．

Second，we should have a short nap，even 30 minutes，at noon．Thirdly，sports exercises are necessary in the afternoon．

Thirdly, sports exercises are necessary for everyone and we can

do some sports exercises in the afternoon．

And fourth，we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening tomusic．

And fourthly，we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to both popularand classic music．

這樣一來，我們只要保持本句的主題不變，添加一些次要詞就能達(dá)到字?jǐn)?shù)的規(guī)定標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。綜上所述，如果我們按以上幾個(gè)步驟和方法去寫作文，就可以保證及格以上的分?jǐn)?shù)。

第三篇：大學(xué)英語寫作模版

（1）模版一There is no consensus among the people as to the view of(主題).Some people hold the idea that(觀點(diǎn)A).A case in point is that(支持觀點(diǎn)A的例子).On the other hand, others may have a quite different view.According to them,(觀點(diǎn)B).The most typical example is that(支持觀點(diǎn)B的例子).Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the latter.Admittedly, the former point of view seems reasonable in saying to some

extent, but the latter is more convincing.2）模版二(主題)is a common occurrence in our lives.The attitudes toward this issue vary from person to person.Some people tend to ______when they are asked(觀點(diǎn)A)because(支持觀點(diǎn)A的原因).The most typical example is that(支持觀點(diǎn)A的例子).However, others argue that(觀點(diǎn)B).They point out that(重申觀點(diǎn)B)for the reason that(支持觀點(diǎn)B的原因).As far as I am concerned, I will choose to(你的觀點(diǎn))because this choice fits my personality and my life-long belief.2）My View 型（1）模版一 When asked about(主題), some people hold the idea that 觀點(diǎn)A).As far as they are concerned,(展開觀點(diǎn)A).But I could not agree with them in several points.In my opinion,(觀點(diǎn)B).The reasons for my choice are listed as follows.In the first place,(支持觀點(diǎn)B的理由1).In the second place,(支持觀點(diǎn)B的理由2).In the third place,(支持觀點(diǎn)B的理由3).For the reasons mentioned above, I firmly believe(重申觀點(diǎn)B).（2）模版二 Some people believe that(觀點(diǎn)A).For instance, they hold the idea that(支持觀點(diǎn)A的例子).And it may bring them（A帶給他們的好處).In my opinion, I never think this reason can be the point.For one thing,(我不同意的理由1).For another,(我不同意的理由2).As a matter of fact, there are some other reasons to explain my choice.For me, I agree to the thought that(重申自己的觀點(diǎn)).3）利弊型（1）模版一Nowadays many people prefer(主題)because it plays a significant role in our daily life.Generally, its advantages can be seen as follows.On the one hand,(主題的優(yōu)點(diǎn)1).On the other hand,(主題的優(yōu)點(diǎn)2).But everything can be divided into two.The negative aspects are also apparent.One of the important disadvantages is that(主題的缺點(diǎn)1).To make matters

worse,（主題的缺點(diǎn)2).Through the above analysis, I believe that the positive aspects far outweigh its negative aspects.Whatever effects it has, one thing is certain,(主題)itself is

neither good nor bad.It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to our society.（2）模版二With the development of science and human civilization, many formerly unimaginable things come into reality.Some of them have positive effects on our life, but some are distasteful.The phenomenon of(主題現(xiàn)象)is an example of the former / latter one.There are many factors that may account for it, and the following are the most conspicuous aspects.To start with,(原因1).Furthermore,(原因2).Eventually,(原因3).Good as(主題現(xiàn)象)is, it has, unfortunately, its disadvantages.The apparent example is that(缺點(diǎn)例子1).In addition,(缺點(diǎn)例子2).On the whole, the phenomenon is one of the results of the progress of the modern society.There is still a long way for us to improve / eliminate(主題現(xiàn)象)and make our life more comfortable.圖表式作文 It is obvious in the graphic/table that the rate/number/amount of Y has undergone dramatic changes.It has gone up/grown/fallen/dropped considerably in recent years(as X varies).At the point of X1, Y reaches its peak value of …(多少).What is the reason for this change? Mainly there are …(多少)reasons behind the situation reflected in the graphic/table.First of all, …(第一個(gè)原因).More

importantly, …(第二個(gè)原因).Most important of all, …(第三個(gè)原因).From the above discussions, we have enough reason to predict what will happen in the near future.The trend described in the graphic/table will continue for

quite a long time(if necessary measures are not taken括號里的使用于那些不太好的變化趨勢).提綱式作文 1.對立觀點(diǎn)式 Some people are in favor of the idea of doing（X）.They point out the fact that 支持（X）的第一個(gè)原因。They also argue that 支持（X）的另一個(gè)原因。

However, other people stand on a different ground.They consider it harmful to do（X）.They firmly point out that 反對（X）的第一個(gè)理由。An eample can give the details of this argument:

There is some truth in both arguments.But I think the advantages of（X）overweigh the disadvantages.In addition to the above-mentioned negative effects it might bring about,（X）also may（X）的有一個(gè)壞處。

2.批駁觀點(diǎn)式Many people argue that 錯(cuò)誤觀點(diǎn)。By saying that, they mean 對這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)的進(jìn)一步解釋。An example they have presented is that 一個(gè)

例子。(According to a survey performed by X on a group of Y, almost 80% of them 贊成這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤觀點(diǎn)或者受到這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤觀點(diǎn)的影響)。

There might be some element of truth in these people’s belief.But if we consider it in depth, we will feel no reservation to conclude that 與錯(cuò)誤觀點(diǎn)相反的觀

點(diǎn)。There are a number of reasons behind my belief.(以下參照辯論文的議論文寫法)。

3.社會問題(現(xiàn)象)式 Nowadays, there exists an increasinglyserious social/economic/ environmental problem.(X has increasingly become a common

concern of the public).According to a survey, 調(diào)查內(nèi)容說明這種現(xiàn)象的情況。(或者是一個(gè)例子)。

There are a couple of reasons booming this problem/phenomenon.下面參照辯論式議論文寫法。

Nowadays , there are more and more misunderstanding between parents and

children which is so-called generation gap.It is estimated that(75 percentages of parents often complain their children's unreasonable behavior while children

usually think their parents too old fashioned).Why have there been so much misunderstanding between parents and children?

Maybe the reasons can be listed as follows.The first one is that(the two generations,having grown up at different times, have different likes and dislikes ,thus the disagreement often rises between them).Besides(due to having little in common to

talk about , they are not willing to sit face to face).The third reason is(with the

pace of modern life becoming faster and faster , both of them are so busy with their work or study that they don't spare enough time to exchange ideas).To sum

up ,the main cause of XX is due to(lake of communication and understanding each other).It is high time that something were done upon it.For one thing(children should respect their parents).On the other hand ,(parents also should show solicitue for

Work in the Countryside With more and more university graduates in our society, how to find a good job has increasingly become a common concern of the public.It is reported that many university graduates would like to work in the countryside.There are a number of reasons for this phenomenon.To start with, it is a fact that with more and more university students graduating each year, the job market competition becomes more and more fierce, and many graduates cannot find jobs in the cities.Secondly, most villages that are trying to employ university graduates have developed well.It makes mot much difference whether to work in the countryside or in the city.Last but not least, some university graduates who come from the

countryside are eager to go back home to contribute to the construction of their hometown.Based on the above reasons, I think university graduates should go to work where they are needed most and where they can make full use of their talents.Working in the countryside can be truly an advisable(明智的)choice.(170 words)Misleading News(negative)

第五篇：中考英語三段式作文法

中考英語三段式作文法

重點(diǎn)詮釋 ：

所謂三段式就是將一篇書面表達(dá)按三段的寫作模式謀篇布局。就整體篇章結(jié)構(gòu)而言，如何把握較大的寫作空間，三段式的寫作模式為最佳選擇。三段式的模式寫法通常為：

1.第一段開門見山，提出要解決的問題或觀點(diǎn)，或者把時(shí)間，地點(diǎn)，人物和主要事件及時(shí)點(diǎn)出。

2.第二段要擺出事實(shí)或提出論據(jù)，或者把事情發(fā)展的經(jīng)過詳細(xì)寫出來。

3.最后一段，得出結(jié)論或理由。

注意：要學(xué)會使用過渡詞。過渡詞猶如“橋梁”和“粘合劑 ”。恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂眠^渡詞可避免結(jié)構(gòu)松散，層次分明，表意不清等弊端，使文章條理清楚，文字連貫流暢。常用的過渡詞有：

遞進(jìn)型： also,(and)besides, what’s more, moreover, furthermore, in addition, even, what’s worse, worse still, to make matters worse, for the worse, not only?but also等;

解釋型：that is(to say), in other words, or, namely, if fact, in reality, as a matter of fact等;

轉(zhuǎn)折型：however, but, yet, nevertheless, instead, on the contrary,on the other hand 等;

列舉型：firstly?secondly?finally, on the one hand, on the other hand, for one thing, for another 等 舉例型：for example, for instance, such as, that is, like, take? for example等;

因果型：because(of), since, now that, thanks to, due to;thus, therefore, as a result(consequence),so? that, so that等;

讓步型：though, although, in spite of, despite 等;

順序型：first?next?and then?finally, first?then?after that?finally 等;

并列型：and, both?and, or, either?or, as well as, 等

時(shí)間型：afterwards, soon, later, the moment/ immediately/ on doing, hardly?when, no sooner?than 等

總結(jié)型：in a word, to sum up, in short, on the whole, in conclusion 等
