84.From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that, although the parents' desire to look after children by themselves is understandable, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.通過以上討論,我們可以得出如下結論:盡管家長想親自照看孩子的愿望是可以理解的,但是這樣做的缺點遠大于優(yōu)點。

87.But is it really the case? The information I've collected over last few years leads me to believe that artistic and cultural projects may be less useful than many governments think.In fact, basic infrastructure projects are playing extremely important role and should be given priority.這是真的嗎?這些年我收集的信息讓我相信這些文化、藝術項目并沒有許多政府想象的那么重要。事實上,基礎設施建設非常重要,應該放在首位。
88.Those who are in favor of artistic and cultural projects advocate that cultural environment will attract more tourists, which will bring huge profits to local residents.Some people even equate the build of such projects with the improving of economic construction.那些贊成建設文化藝術項目的人認為文化環(huán)境會吸引更多的游客,這將給當?shù)鼐用駧砭薮蟮睦?。一些人甚至把建設文化藝術項目與發(fā)展經(jīng)濟建設等同起來。89.Unfortunately, there is very few evidence that big companies are willing to invest a huge sums of money in a place without sufficient basic projects, such as supplies of electricity and water.然而,很少有證據(jù)表明大公司愿意把巨額的資金投到一個連水電這些基礎設施都不完善的地方去。

97.It is suggested that governments ought to make efforts to reduce the increasing gap between cities and countryside.They ought to set aside an appropriate fund for improvement of the standard of peasants' lives.They ought to invite some experts in agriculture to share their experiences, information and knowledge with peasants, which will contribute directly to the economic growth of rural areas.建議政府應該努力減少正在拉大的城鄉(xiāng)差距。應該劃撥適當?shù)馁Y金提高農民的生活水平;應該邀請農業(yè)專家向農民介紹他們的經(jīng)驗,知識和信息,這些將有助于發(fā)展農村經(jīng)濟。

第二篇:寫作英語教學的點睛之筆
寫作英語教學的點睛之筆
【摘 要】
本文從分析英語寫作現(xiàn)狀入手,逐步從范文展示,主動寫作;閱讀指引,樂意寫作;穩(wěn)固基礎,學會寫作等幾個方面來闡述,希望通過運用這些策略提升學生們的寫作水平,并讓他們在寫作中也能享受到英語學習的樂趣。
【關鍵詞】
寫作 閱讀 基礎
英文寫作是教學重點也是教學難點,孩子們聽到寫作就會抓耳撓腮,他們畏難的情緒立刻展露無遺。但是,義務教育《英語課程標準》對學生寫作提出了具體的要求:能正確使用大小寫字母和常用的標點符號;能寫出簡單的問候語和祝福語;能根據(jù)圖片、詞語或例句的提示,寫出簡短的語句。要想達到這些要求,我們就要幫助學生們克服畏難情緒,有計劃、有組織、有順序的指導學生們寫作。那么,在教學實踐中,我們該如何做呢?
一、范文展示,主動寫作
學生的自信心來自于對于寫作的熟練程度以及他們的興趣指向,學生之所以怕寫作就是因為沒有優(yōu)秀的范文讓他們閱讀學習。而現(xiàn)在市場上也很難買到針對小學生寫作訓練的書籍,資源的缺失,也讓教師們頗感頭疼。許多教師為了幫助學生們樹立寫作的信心,讓他們在寫作時有話可寫,他們不得不自己寫下水文,讓學生從最簡單的模仿開始。
例如:在寫家庭的話題時,教師先介紹了自己的家庭狀況,再讓學生們思考,為了讓學生們能夠較為容易的掌握寫作的方法,教師不僅僅要用嘴巴說,還要借助多媒體課件把范文展示給學生們看。讓他們借鑒老師的寫作思路,開始自己的創(chuàng)作。在寫作時,也不要刻意要求學生必須按照固定的模式寫作,可以適當?shù)姆攀?,讓學生們寫出具有自己風格的作文。這樣的寫作教學,可以激發(fā)孩子們寫作的興致,當有例子可模仿時,他們會覺得寫作容易了許多,也就會主動地去寫了。
二、閱讀指引,樂意寫作
寫作無話可說與閱讀量有關,讀得少,自然無從下筆。因此,我們要幫助學生們擴充閱讀量,只有積累的多了,他們的表達能力才會增強。我們可以給學生們推薦一些書目,如:《英語閱讀樹》《Step by step》《培生兒童英語》《體驗英語》《新東方朗文新派少兒英語》等等,這些英語故事地道、純正、具有趣味性,孩子們在閱讀時會被故事情節(jié)深深吸引住。當他們讀得特別起勁時,讓他們續(xù)寫某一個小故事,他們也會特別樂意。
例如:在學完六年級上冊Unit1 The king’s new clothes之后,我讓孩子們自己去找《皇帝的新裝》,讓他們在課文的基礎上再增添故事情節(jié)。有些孩子把英文版原著搬了出來;有些孩子就憑著自己聽過的中文版故事去進一步加工潤色;還有些孩子對于這個故事非常熟悉,但是他們不喜歡原著的結局,自己動手改編。這些都是英文故事的魅力,讓孩子們主動地去寫,積極地去搜尋資料,這樣的寫作訓練是最有效的,也是培養(yǎng)學生英語語感的最佳手段。長期的訓練,會讓孩子們在寫作時不再詞窮,不再覺得無話可說,因為他們在閱讀中積累了大量的資源,在寫作時,就可以信手拈來,毫不費力了。
三、穩(wěn)固基礎,學會寫作
英語寫作能力的提升是一個長期而又復雜的過程,因此,教師不僅要提升孩子們寫作的興趣,還要給予他們寫作指導,讓他們學會寫作才是最關鍵的。
1.記憶單詞
詞匯是寫作的基礎,不能忽視單詞的重要性。在教新單詞時,要先解決讀音問題,讓學生學會記憶單詞的技巧,用讀音來記憶拼寫單詞,會提升他們單詞記憶的效率。我們還要鼓勵學生多閱讀,讓他們在閱讀中增加詞匯量,并把好詞好句摘錄下來,這樣有利于他們在寫作時隨時提取運用。
2.標點使用
語文老師會講標點符號的運用,而英語老師卻很少講。其實,在英語寫作中,標點也有著非常重要的作用。標點位置的不同,思想表達會有很大的不同,這是英語寫作的基本功。因此,在平時英語教學中時,我們要逐步滲透講解標點符號的使用規(guī)則,并設計一些練習,讓學生們通過練習加以鞏固。
3.口語提升
口語的提升可以促進寫作,我們在訓練時,可以讓學生們先說后寫。多練習聽說讀,當熟練之后,可以很自然的過渡到寫。例如:組織學生分組進行口語練習,讓他們圍繞主題編寫對話;看經(jīng)典的英文電影,給自己喜歡的角色配音;閱讀課外材料,口頭敘述材料大意……如此的日積月累,他們的詞匯量會不斷地增加,好詞好句也會得到積累,這些都是為學生們寫作提供基礎保障的最佳手段。
4.激勵評價
激勵性的評價可以調動起學生的學習興趣,我們不要過度關注學生的分數(shù),要看到學生努力的過程,在他們學習的歷程中,我們要時刻提醒他們、鼓勵他們,讓他們充滿信心的去面對每一次困難。例如:當學生寫錯單詞時,我們不能打擊,要用溫和的態(tài)度去鼓勵他們,讓他們在認識到錯誤時,努力去改正。當教師發(fā)現(xiàn)某個孩子的作文寫得很棒時,要鼓勵學生上臺朗讀,這樣不僅能增強學生的寫作信心,還能鍛煉他們的舞臺表現(xiàn)力和語言邏輯能力。給予學生激勵性的評價,有助于提高學生的自信心,激發(fā)他們學習英語的興趣,讓他們化被動為主動,提高英語學習的效率。
總之,小學英語寫作是一個漫長而又艱辛的過程,作為學生學習的領路人,我們要做好課前準備,努力鉆研教材,為學生的寫作提供最有效的方法。在學生寫作時,我們要多加關注,給予他們鼓勵,讓他們信心滿滿地開始寫作。相信通過這樣的努力,學生們的寫作水平會在不知不覺中得到提升。

——新東方考研英語培訓教材:考研英語寫作創(chuàng)作策略與高分范文
內容導讀:
由于國內英語教學中寫作訓練薄弱,大批學生只會單詞,不懂語境和搭配,出現(xiàn)了各種可笑的中文思維現(xiàn)象。我們寫作教學中專門強調語感的培養(yǎng),除單詞記憶和句型操練之外,在此專門選編了300個閃光的英文句子,涉及面很廣,配有譯文并用黑體標出了句子銜接的主干框架。讀者可以在閱讀中仔細領會每句話表達的妙處,遣詞造句的獨特設計。也可以作為寫作的范本加以背誦,提高自己的語感和閃光點意識。

8.The use of guanxi is a widespread method for conducting business, but is it a wise one? The method is now being challenged by more and more people.利用關系是做生意的普遍做法,但這種做法明智嗎?現(xiàn)在,越來越多的人對這種方法提出了質疑。

第一部分 圖畫作文(四篇)1.關于愛心(01年真題)
Love is a lamp
[1.現(xiàn)象/現(xiàn)狀說明段] Love is of utmost importance to us humans.Everybody not only needs love, but also should give others love.As can be seen from the picture, ”love is a lamp which is brighter in darker places." This is indeed true.People in darker places need more light than other people.Maybe even a dim light can give them much hope for a better life.Maybe just a thread of light will call forth their strength and courage to help them step out of their difficulties.[7.舉例段] I can think of no better illustration of this idea

than the following example(s).For instance when someone is starving to death, just a little food and water from you may save his(her)life.Again, when a little girl in a poor rural area drops out of school because of poverty, just a small sum of money from you may support her to finish school and change her life.In these case/circumstances you have given love which is like a lamp in a dark place where light is most needed.[8.歸納結論段] To sum up, we should offer our help to all the needed.We expect to get love from others and we also give love to others.So when you see someone in difficulty or in distress and in need of help, don't hesitate to give your love to him(her).I believe that the relationship between people will be harmonious and that our society will be a better place for us to live in.2.空氣污染(隱形殺手)

Cultures--National and International
寫作要求:
1)describe the picture and interpret its meaning
2)give your comment on the phenomenon
寫作提綱:
第一段:詳細描述圖畫信息(外貌、表情、服飾)
第二段:闡釋圖畫文化背景(中國文化走向世界)
第三段:對待兩種文化態(tài)度
中國傳統(tǒng)文化:保存與珍惜
世界不同文化:取其精華,去其糟粕
This picture vividly depicts a lovely American girl dressed in traditional Chinese costume with a sweet smile on her face.She wears ribbons, earrings,necklaces and other accessories that are characteristic of the clothes of a certain Chinese minority group;Undoubtedly, the costume has added oriental glamour to her beautiful features.這幅畫生動地描繪了一個可愛的美國女孩穿著傳統(tǒng)中國服裝,面帶微笑。她佩帶著發(fā)帶、耳環(huán)、項鏈和其它的服裝配飾,這些配飾具有中國某少數(shù)民族服裝的特點。毫無疑問,這種服裝為她的美貌增添了東方魅力。
What the picture conveys goes far beyond merely a new fashion trend.Instead, it carries cultural implications as well.The fact that people from other nations are attracted to the mysterious Chinese culture indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated and shared internationally.In other words, one nation's distinctive culture can become international through world-wide economic and cultural exchanges.Since the trend of globalization seems irresistible, the increasing cultural exchanges will effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship.這幅畫所傳達的信息遠遠不止于時尚新潮流,而是附帶著文化方面的潛在含義。來自與其它國家的人正在被神秘的中國文化所吸引,這樣一個事實表明某種程度上一種文化可以被接受、尊重、欣賞并在全世界范圍內分享。換句話說,一個國家的獨特文化可以通過世界范圍內的經(jīng)濟文化交流走向世界。由于全球化的趨勢不可阻擋,越來越多的文化交流將有效地促進共同的理解與友誼。
In my opinion, national culture, as a priceless spiritual treasure, should be preserved and cherished.Meanwhile there are good reasons to advocate international culture, for those ideas from other cultures, controversial or even absurd at first sight, can provide a different perspective for us to observe the world.However, when we are confronted with a different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and resist its dark side.Only in this way can we promote cultural development positively and make our world dimensional, colorful and vigorous.(223WORDS)
在我看來,民族文化,作為一種無價的精神財富,應當被保存與珍惜。同時我們有充分的理由提倡世界文化。這是因為其它文化中的理念,盡管剛一接觸顯得格格不入甚至荒謬,可以為我們提供一種觀察世界的不同視角。然而,當我們面對一種不同文化時,我們應當充滿理智地去取其精華、去其糟粕。只有這樣我們才能促進文化的健康發(fā)展,并且使我們的世界多元化,多姿多彩,充滿生機。

第五篇:新東方寫作
Section III Writing
Part A 小作文部分
【題目要求】
51.Directions:
Write a letter to your university library, making suggestions for improving its service.You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter.Use “Li Ming” instead.Do not write the address.(10 points)
【題目類型】
2007年小作文延續(xù)了05和06年的考試要求,繼續(xù)考查事務信函。由于其它應用文模式太過靈活,不便統(tǒng)一命題或評分,書信始終成為各類考試考 官最偏愛的題型。在考查過辭職信和申請信后,本次改換成了信函主題的另一種類型:建議信。建議信的寫法往往和大作文的第三段——建議措施段類似,即向某個 特定單位提出業(yè)務或服務改進的建議。但給考生一定靈活度,可以自由發(fā)揮建議的內容。
【審題構思】
本題要求中設定的收信對象為圖書館,因此明確為事務信函,按照慣例需要文字較正式。題目中暗示信息很少,只有三個線索:圖書館、提建議、提高服務質量。實際上信息越少,限制控制越少,考生靈活發(fā)揮的空間就比較大,可以從多方面提出不同的建議,只要合理就能滿足要求。
信函仍然可以通過三部分展開,在第一段中,直接點明主題,開門見山說出意圖,可以籠統(tǒng)地提出圖書館服務質量不盡人意,有待改善提高。第二段則要 發(fā)揮想象力,從2-3個方面點出可以改進的地方。當然,簡單的思路可以立即展開,問題可以多種多樣,如沒有保安、辦證繁瑣、不提供開水、工作人員態(tài)度冷 漠、空調失靈、衛(wèi)生條件差、取書速度慢、卡片編號混亂等,針對這些問題提出建議即可。當然,也可以稍微具體和深入一點,聯(lián)想到流通中心缺乏咨詢臺、學生借 不到最新的外文期刊、某些讀者在閱覽室吸煙和聊天沒有人維持秩序等。當然,大多數(shù)考生會圍繞著最容易想到的工作人員服務態(tài)度差展開論述,考官相對容易感到 審美疲勞,我們不妨找一些具體一些的建議展開。最后一段應當以套用經(jīng)典句型來結束,由于提出建議的目的是讓對方高度重視和解決,不能批評過度或語氣太生 硬,我們往往用感謝、希望和期待來結束。
【推薦范文】
Dear sir or madam,(To whom it may concern,)
I am writing this letter for the purpose of making some suggestions for improving the service of our university library.Although our library functions effectively in providing academic materials and enriching our campus life, its service goes far from being desired.In my eyes the following measures need to be taken as soon as possible.Firstly, why not arrange an inquiry desk at the circulation hall? With the help of a professional librarian, students can go through the
procedures more efficiently.In addition, students should have access to the latest issues of foreign magazines.It’s inadequate to provide merely back issues to the students at the periodical room.Lastly, you’d better maintain strict order at the reading room.I frequently found myself disturbed by certain students chatting and smoking there.I sincerely hope that you will take my advice into consideration,and I look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.Sincerely yours,Li Ming
(157 words)
譯文:
尊敬的先生/女士:
我寫此信的目的是為了提幾個建議,提高我校圖書館的服務質量。盡管我校圖書館在提供學習資料和豐富校園生活方面發(fā)揮了有效的功能,但服務卻遠不盡人意。在我看來,需要盡快采取以下幾個措施。
首先,為什么不在借閱大廳安排一個咨詢臺呢?如果有專業(yè)圖書管理員的指導,學生們可以更加高效地辦理各種手續(xù)。此外,學生們應當能夠借閱最新外 文期刊。在期刊閱覽室中只提供過刊是不夠的。最后一點,您們最好嚴格維持閱覽室的秩序,本人就有數(shù)次在那里被聊天和吸煙的學生干擾。
我真誠地希望您能仔細考慮我的建議, 并且期望盡快收到您的回信。
李明
【語言分析】
從本次考試的命題來看,考研對信函格式的要求很低,專門提示不用寫具體姓名和地址,而信函格式最講究的就是地址的寫法。其實,我們只要把握最基 本的開頭和結束語就可以了。由于收信人姓名不詳,開頭可以參照常用寫法:Dear sir or madam, / To whom it may concern,而結束語可以用Sincerely yours / Yours sincerely等等。
范文中構架清晰,框架語言包括開頭的“I am writing this letter for the purpose of”, 建議措施段中的 “firstly”, “ in addition”和
“l(fā)astly”。信函在項目排序上講究語言簡潔明了,讓收信人直接看到要點,因此不用考慮太復雜的詞組。結尾的語言“I sincerely hope that you will take my advice into consideration,and I look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.”屬于黃金表達,用起來專業(yè)自然。此外,本文在另外兩個語域中進行嘗試,一為圖書館術語,包括 “inquiry desk”, “circulation hall”, “professional librarian”, “l(fā)atest issues”, “back issues”, “periodical room”, “reading room”;第二個層面是議論文詞組,包括 “for the purpose of”, “goes far from being desired”, “ In my eyes”, “take measures”, “go through the procedures”, “ have access to”, “maintain strict order”, “take into consideration”, “l(fā)ook forward to”。句型表達上,“I frequently found myself disturbed by certain students chatting and smoking”一句中同時設置過去分詞和現(xiàn)在分詞,在語法上增加了難度和特色。
Part B 大作文部分
【題目要求】
52.Directions:
Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing.In your essay, you should
1)describe the drawing briefly,2)explain its intended meaning, and then
3)support your view with an example/examples.You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(20 points)
【題目類型】
不出所料,2007年大作文繼續(xù)考查難度頗大的圖畫作文,通過一個足球賽的關鍵場面來說明自信的重要性??记拔以诰W(wǎng)站上發(fā)表的一篇“考研寫作命 題的五大淺規(guī)則”中,論述了“和諧社會”命題公式中的三個層次,其中第一個層次是個人和諧發(fā)展,推薦的五個參考題目中第一個就是“自信的重要性”,那么
這 次的考題不幸被我推理言中了。只不過沒想到命題專家居然在05和06年后第三次利用了跟足球有關的畫面,前兩年考過了養(yǎng)老和偶像崇拜,這次通過球賽來說明 自信的重要。
【審題構思】
命題中提供的信息比往年有所減少,比如題目(title)的缺失,對題目說明的文字也沒有提供,而圖畫下面的說明語也沒有。除了一個簡單提綱框架就剩下圖畫了,因此考生的現(xiàn)場推理能力和對命題慣性思路的把握能力非常重要。圖畫作文往往有兩種表現(xiàn)形式,諷刺漫畫需要給出解決措施和建議,而歌頌性漫畫需要表現(xiàn)一個道理,讓考生推理并舉例論證。這次命題似乎在把兩種模 式相融合。漫畫中表現(xiàn)出球員缺乏自信的問題,反面說明了樹立自信在生存和競爭中的重要性。那么就不需要提出建議了,直接舉例說明自信極為重要就可以。根據(jù)提綱要點,作文可分為三段。首段仍然是描述圖畫信息,先說明是場足球賽,之后進入射門球員和守門員的細節(jié)描述。射門球員在關鍵時刻把對手想 象得過于高大,以至于自己很難把球射中;而守門員把仔細想象得太渺小,球門到處都是漏洞,似乎自己守門成功無望。顯然,兩個人都因緊張而失去了自信。第二 段可以從足球賽引申到我們的生活,生活節(jié)奏加快、競爭加劇、考試殘酷而就業(yè)艱難,種種挑戰(zhàn)都需要我們樹立強大的自信,如果總是高估問題和對手而看輕自己的 實力,我們就會猶豫懷疑而無法成功。按照提綱要求,第三段舉一個和多個例子都可以。在自信方面劉翔是中國人都知道的例子,他因自信而百戰(zhàn)百勝,創(chuàng)造了世界 記錄??忌材茏匀幌氲阶约旱膴^斗,沒有自信考研無法成功。也可以舉反面的例子,某某如何缺乏自信而導致失敗,當然作文的慣例是在結尾走向正面總結,強調 自信確實非常重要。
【推薦范文】
This cartoon humorously presents a scene of a football game with the two rivals facing each other.The striker on one team is preparing to make a decisive shoot while the goal-keeper on the opposite team is posing for defence.However, under overwhelming pressure both of them are losing their confidence.The striker magnifies the goal-keeper in his mind so that chances of shooting in are slim.Likewise, the goal-keeper minimizes his own image as if he couldn’t defend the goal successfully.這幅漫畫幽默地呈現(xiàn)了足球賽的一個場面,兩個對手正在面對面較量。其中一個隊的射門球員正準備做出決定性的射門動作,而對手球隊守門員也擺出了 防御的姿勢。然而,在巨大的壓力之下,兩個人的信心都在喪失。射門球員頭腦中放大了守門員的形象,以至于射中的可能性幾乎不可能。同樣,守門員把自己想得 很小,似乎他無法成功地守住球門。
Apparently, the purpose of the picture is to emphasize the importance of self-confidence in our daily life.On account of the quickening pace
of life, competition goes increasingly fierce in all walks of life, imposing tremendous pressure on all individuals.The past few years have witnessed dramatic increase in the difficulty of examinations and
employment.We must maintain powerful self-confidence and optimism in the face of challenges so as to survive and succeed.Suppose we are inclined to overestimate our rivals or problems and neglect our ability, we will become hesitating and doubtful of ourselves, unable to fulfill even a simple task.Therefore, it is necessary to embrace the strong faith that we are indomitable and invincible.圖畫的目的明顯是要強調自信在日常生活中的重要性。由于生活節(jié)奏加快,各行各業(yè)的競爭變得日益激烈,給所有人都造成了強大的壓力。過去幾年中,考試和就業(yè)的難度都在劇烈增加。我們面對挑戰(zhàn),必須懷有強大的自信和樂觀才能生存和成功。假如我們習慣于高估我們的競爭對手和問題,并且忽視我們自己的能 力,我們就會變得猶豫不決、懷疑自己,甚至簡單的事情也辦不成。因此,我們有必要堅信我們能夠百折不撓并且不可戰(zhàn)勝。
A case in point is the world famous star hurdler, Liu Xiang.He invariably imagines positively that he can win in every hurdle race, never shrinking in front of other experienced players.That’s why he works wonders again and again.As for me, I am participating in the college admission examination for graduates with thousands of competitors.Having prepared sufficiently for one year, I have powerful self-assurance that I can cruise to my dream university.As the saying goes, our only enemy is ourselves.Only by building strong self-confidence can we demonstrate grace under pressure and turn our dreams into reality.一個恰當?shù)睦邮鞘澜缰目鐧谫惻苊餍莿⑾?。他總是積極地想象自己每場比賽都能勝出,面對其他經(jīng)驗豐富的選手時從不退縮,因此他一次又一次地 創(chuàng)造了奇跡。對于我本人來說,我正在和成千上萬的競爭者一起參加研究生入學考試。在充分復習了一年以后,我深信我能成功地考上夢想中的學校。正如諺語說 過,我們唯一的敵人是我們自己。只有樹立強大的自信,我們才能在壓力之下毫無懼色并且把夢想變成現(xiàn)實。
【語言分析】
以上范文在內容、結構、用詞和句型方面都有所設計,基本達到了高分作文所追求的效果。
從內容上看,圖畫描述部分步步深入,語言充實;意義闡釋部分把自信的重要性通過正面和反面進行了論證,最后一段提到了劉翔和考研勇士的自信,正面強調了自信在競爭中的巨大作用。
從結構上看,第一段由表面到細節(jié),分別描述兩個球員的攻防狀態(tài)和喪失自信的心理變化,描述部分進行了細節(jié)對比和語言均衡分配,達到了充分描述的 目的。第二段采取了起承轉合的構造法,即點明寓意——原因現(xiàn)狀說明——反面論證——正面總結的結構,使得意義得到透徹的說明,語言飽滿。第三段舉了兩個例 子,各用兩三句概括。通過他人和自己的正面體驗,表達自信的重要,最后再次總結全文,烘托主題。
從用詞上看,首先是描述段表現(xiàn)足球賽的用詞,分別提到了對手(rival)、射門球員(striker)、射門(shoot)、守門員(goal-keeper)、對方球隊(opposite team)、防守姿態(tài)(pose for defence)、球門(goal)、守門(defend the goal)等專門術語和表達。其次,作文中使用的特色表達如放大(magnify)、縮小(minimize)、百折不撓(indomitable)、不 可戰(zhàn)勝(invincible)、總是
(invariably)等, 把語言增大了難度。用詞在廣度上也進行了拓展,在強調“自信”主題時,先后分別使用了“self-confidence”、“optimism”、“embrace strong faith”、“self-assurance”等表達;而巨大的壓力和強大的自信,則分別使用了形容詞“overwhelming”、“tremendous”、“dramatic”、“strong”、“powerful”;“競爭者”則用 “rivals”和 “competitors”。文中的幾個詞組各具特色,“slim chances”、“maintain
self-confidence”、“work wonders”、“cruise to”在不同段落中點綴,加強了語言的亮度。
從句型上看,有三類句型別具特色。首先是結構性句型,三段的段首句有效架起了文章構架,再加上“however”、“on account of”、“therefore”、“as for me”等短語,起到了承上啟下的作用。第二類是語法難句,包括虛擬句——“as if he couldn’t?”(第一段)和倒裝句——“The past few years have witnessed dramatic increase?”(第二段);“Only by building strong self-confidence can we?”(第三段)。第三類是起到畫龍點睛作用的諺語和名言,在文章結尾,首先借用了一句家喻戶曉的諺語來烘托主題 “As the saying goes, our only enemy is ourselves”,最后提到了著名強者作家海明威的名言——“show grace under pressure”,成功總結了自信帶來的巨大作用。
