英语四级作文写作技巧专题培训课件

1、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。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。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

2、，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分部分考生在见到作文题，感到很对自己的胃

3、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

4、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8三、用词贫乏，句式单一 许多考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

5、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 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 a

7、diverse means to get to know the society.11四级考生在措词方面存在的问题：1、可供“调遣”的词汇量贫乏，局限于中学词汇。比如，我们一提到“重要的”大多数同学首先会想到“important”这个单词它的如下同义词：significant, vital, crucial, critical， etc122、表达相近意义时，常重复用一个词，用词单调。比如，我们一提到“大” 大多数同学首先会想到“big”这个单词 它的如下同义词：great, large, huge, vast, enormous etc.四级考生在措词方面存在的问题：13策略 1、调动大学期

15、for example 的替换词： to name only a few, as an example24个经典替换词24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句型多样简单句，并列句和复合句交替使用，灵活使

16、用各种句子结构如：插入语，倒装句，强调句，非谓语动词，疑问句等。若要写好作文，要写好句子，首先要掌握句子结构和句式变化及句子类型，可通过对泛读课文经典句子的背诵提高应用语言基本句型的能力。Imitation is a good way to learn.26适当用代替主动，这样能更客观的反映事实,句子开头不要总是用we / I (比如不用 we should pay attention to 而用 Attention should be paid to. )In a word, the local government should take effective measures to sol
