英语四级作文写作技巧（谷风讲课）

1、大学英语四级写作技巧Lecture of Writing,1,沐风教资,一、考核要求,四六级大学英语写作考试时间均为30分钟，分值占总分的15%。 四级要求考生写出一篇不少于120词的短文，试卷上可能给出题目，或规定情景，或要求看图作文，或给出段首句要求续写;或给出关键词要求写成短文。 要求能够正确表达思想，意义连贯，无重大语法错误。写作的内容包括日常生活和一般常识。短文写作部分的目的是测试学生运用英语书面表达思想的初步能力。,2,沐风教资,二、大学英语四级作文评分原则及标准,首先，卷面一定要清晰、干净、整洁。不要乱涂乱画，若有删节，在文字的中间画道横线 第二，段落按要求写，要求写几段就写几段

2、。一般情况下，中间一段长，开首段和结尾段较短，让人第一感觉就是内容充实。 第三，开好头，结好尾。 第四，按要求的字数写，可以比要求的字数稍微多一点。字数少了给人的感觉是缺乏内容，字数太多了，文章显得繁琐，分数会受影响。,Global Scoring,3,沐风教资,具体评分标准：,2分条理不清，思路紊乱，语言支离破碎或大部分句子均有错误，但多数为严重错误。 5分基本切题。表达思想不清楚，连贯性差。有较多的严重语言错误。 8分基本切题。有些地方表达思想不够清楚，文字勉强连贯；语言错误相当多，其中有一些是严重错误。 11分切题。表达思想清楚、文字连贯，但有少量语言错误。 14分切题。表达思想清楚、文

3、字通顺，连贯性较好，基本上无语言错误，仅有个别小错误。 只写一段者：04分；只写两段者：09分,4,沐风教资,部分考生在见到作文题，感到很对自己的胃口，觉得有很多内容要写。千言万语涌上心头，写着前一句想着后一句。往往前句尚未写完便接上了后一句，写了一大堆犹觉余意未尽。结果令判卷的老师头疼不己，无法继续往下看。 意识流创作有两种表现：自由分段语言杂乱,三、英语写作问题与对策,一、 “意识流”式写作,5,沐风教资,我们不妨把作文的要求量化到每一个段落：一篇120词左右的作文一般不超过12句话，把这12句话根据题目要求分配到各段中去，每一段大约只说那么几句话，绝不多说。 事实上往往是说得越多，错误越

4、多。因此，跟着提纲走，每一段不要写得太多，点到为止，见好就收，这才是最稳妥的对策。,对策:,6,沐风教资,7,二、语言大于内容,很多考生非要想出一个观点，想出一个理由，想出一个措施，非要显得与众不同。陷入这种境地的考生，显然犯了一个根本性的错误。作文应该在25分钟之内完成，再用几分钟的时间检查语言错误。 不管原因也好，措施也好，都不是判卷老师所重视的。规定式作文的拓展空间本来就非常有限，所以绞尽脑汁构思内容是没有必要的。,7,沐风教资,8,对策 ：,写作的三个角度： 语言第一位 结构第二位 内容第三位 要求：结构简单，语言卓越，内容只要相关即可,8,沐风教资,9,三、用词贫乏，句式单一,许多考

5、生的作文错误倒不多，相当符合语法要求，但用词贫乏，过多使用如more and more, I think, as you know等表达，并且句子结构过于简单。 统计结果表明，差的作文中简单句多，而好的作文简单句少；差的作文从句、连词、分词结构出现的频率大大低于好的作文；差的作文中关键词和同义表达出现的频率低于好的作文。用词的丰富和句式的多样应该主要通过多看好文章，仔细琢磨好文章中的用词和句子来提高。换句话说，也就是要从阅读中学习写作。,9,沐风教资,10,对策: 少用垃圾词汇,垃圾词汇: helpful 典型例句:Sth is helpful (to sb) 替代语 conducive有助于

6、 e.g Sth is conducive to sb 垃圾词汇:think 典型例句:i think - - 替代语deem， harbor the idea that 垃圾词汇: because 典型例句:xxx because xxx 替代语 in that/in as much as 垃圾词汇: about 典型例句:it is about 250 times of that 替代语 it is approximately - 垃圾词汇: if 替代语provided，supposing,10,沐风教资,Compare the Following Sentences,We should

16、 24. for example 的替换词： to name only a few, as an example,24个经典替换词,24,沐风教资,25,善用词组,如果我们能够在单词的基础上，进一步想到与之同义的词组，那么文章就会显得与众不同，更具有英语的味道。 比如上面所说的“重要的”这个单词，当我们想到important的时候，如果从语法角度再稍加考虑一下，我们会想到“be of importance”。因为，语法中规定：形容词等于of加这个形容词的名词形式。 如果再提升一步，我们还学过一个常用的词组“play an important role in-”。,四级写作中如何造句,25,沐风
