關于四六級作文的備考指導
文都教育譚劍波
作文是四六級考試的關鍵,它在考場上“打頭陣”。本文從卷面、詞匯、句型和作文批改方面進行討論,希望能幫到同學們。
一、關于四六級作文的卷面問題
很多同學都知道卷面的重要性,但不知道卷面有多重要,也并不去解決,頂多告訴自己:我要寫整齊一點。卻不知道該如何解決卷面問題。
注意一:閱卷老師往往以貌取人,四六級卷面不整潔,一般會扣10分左右,考研作文卷面不整潔,一般會扣2分以上。建議大家不要用連筆,清楚第一,書法第二,很多人用的是“毛體”。如果單詞寫錯,輕輕劃一橫線表示刪除,不要拿牙膏之類的液體來涂,那樣浪費時間。有的人直接在錯誤處打了叉子,還反復劃圈,甚至在旁邊備注說“不要!”這樣可能會導致嚴重丟分。所以一定要想好了下筆,也不要在考場上打草稿,那樣會浪費時間。
注意二:四六級考生平時要操練8篇以上作文,在25分鐘以內寫出140字左右,做到涂改處不超過三處??佳袑W生要操練15篇以上,在40分鐘之內寫出200單詞。
注意三:字數不可太多,因為言多必失,且言多耗時。四六級考研都是速度考試,時間就是生命。你上次沒過不是?如果當時給你延長半小時時間做題,可能你已經過了。
二、關于作文的詞匯問題
作文的詞匯分為連接詞和話題詞。連接詞的不一樣會導致四六級作文產生10分左右的差距,考研作文會產生2分以上的差距。比如“但是”,怎么說?大家馬上想到“but”,太俗了吧,有人說“我用however”,還是有點俗,你可以用“nevertheless”,不是更好嗎? “所以”怎么說? “so”?太俗了吧!你用兩個“so”,你的文章就會“so so”??梢杂谩癷t naturally follows that…”,這樣你的連接詞就會加分。如果你用“therefore”表示“所以”,不會加分也不會扣分,如果你老是“so”,則很可能會扣一分。連接詞與英文功底關系不大,只要你跟著老師,掌握適合四六級考試的高分連接詞。
話題詞就是寫作核心詞匯,本文作者曾總結了300個四六級寫作核心詞匯,600個考研核心寫作詞匯。我發現一個道理:你的詞匯量是有限的,但寫作所要求的字數更加有限,而你的詞匯的排列組合卻是無限的。比如“他很挑食”,你會翻譯嗎?你可能只會說“He is very Tiaoshi?”你可以轉換思維,說“他喜歡吃他喜歡吃的拒絕吃他不喜歡吃的”,不就是“He likes to eat what he likes and refuses to eat what he dislikes”嗎?你們不是總嫌字數不夠嗎?英語的思維更加具體,而漢語的思維偏含蓄。如果我們能把成人漢語轉化為少兒漢語,再用你們的少兒英語去表達少兒漢語就簡單了。
三、關于作文的句型問題
句子分為寫作固定高分句型以及寫作功底性句型。前者只需要你背誦默寫文都寫作老師給出的句子,后者是要求你在老師的指導下學會寫任何一個句子。比如“是采取措施做某事的時候了”,你會怎么說?你們會說“It is time to take steps to do…”,別這樣啊,可以用“It is high time that immediate steps were taken to do…”,這樣的句子在四六級中至少加三到五分,考研中至少加一分。寫作分數不是隨便可以得高的,你得感動老師。又比如“允許”咋說,你會說“allow”吧,用“permit”吧,最好使用被動“Sth.is permitted by sb.”老師發現你沒用“allow”而用了“permit”,不僅用了“permit”,還用了被動語態,不就用了被動語態,還把permit雙寫了t加ed, 男老師就眼眶濕潤了,女老師更是。
四、關于作文的批改問題
作文必須找高人修改,如果那人四級沒有600多分,考研沒有80多分,不可能勝任作文批改。很多人自己考了424分,發現上鋪的兄弟考了425,于是很崇拜,找他改作文,最后考了423。
第二篇:大學四六級英語作文備考
1.Should We Help Strangers?
1.有人認為幫助陌生人是一種美德;
2.有人卻認為幫助陌生人會給自己帶來麻煩和危險;3.我認為…… 【范文】
Helping strangers has always been considered as a treasured virtue of mankind.We need help from others throughout our life, whenever we travel to other places or stay at home.On the other hand, helping others can make us happy.We feel great joy when we are trusted, needed and able to give a hand.However, some people are cautious when it comes to helping strangers.They say that helping others involves risks of getting hurt or cheated.Lending a hand to a stranger often puts us in a vulnerable position for it means trusting someone we do not even know.Moreover, there are times when we have physical limitations.For instance, we can’t swim but a girl is drowning, what should we do? If we are blind to that limitation, giving a hand would conversely take our life.In my opinion, we should still offer what we can do to help those needed strangers.Meanwhile, we should beware of getting cheated and use our common sense to tell whether the strangers are real needed people or just professional cheats.Detecting anything unusual, we should defend ourselves or turn to the police.2.Don’t Rely Too Much on Computers
1.現在許多人越來越依賴電腦;2.過分依賴電腦會帶來很多問題;3.我的看法 【范文1】
Do we rely too much on computers? Yes, we do.Almost everything we do and every aspect of our life is affected by modern technology with computers above all.We use computers in business, public services, education and entertainment.However, over-reliance on computer may give rise to some problems.One is that people are more likely to make spelling mistakes when they have to handwrite something.Another is that people are so dependent on computers that they have lost the ability to think for themselves.If “the computer says XYZ”, then XYZ must be true.If you want to make yourself an idiot, just tell him “that is what the computer said”.In my opinion, computers make our lives easier but we should never rely on them completely.These machines should be used as tool to aid work rather than the only tool.Otherwise, chaos can occur when suddenly our computers crash or what is worse, refuse to take our orders.【范文2】
With the development of science and technology, computers have played an increasingly important role in our daily life.Computers make our life more convenient.We can not only finish our essays online, but also buy some daily commodities and play games online.However, it’s estimated that people spend more than three hours on surfing the internet.Now more and more people become weak and shortsighted.It is because they surf the Internet day and night but without rest.In addition, the reason why students rely on too much on computers is that they can find many reference materials online.So students become less independent in thinking for themselves now.All in all, we can’t live without computer, but we should try to go out to do some exercise with our friends.What’s more, it is time for us to finish our assignments independently instead of finding the reference answer online.3.TV Talent Show
1.有人贊成電視選秀節目 2.有人則反對 3.我的觀點
【范文1】Over the past couple of years, a variety of talent shows have emerged on TV channel across our nation, from Happy Girls to Super Boys and so forth.This type of entertainment programs is intensely popular, especially among youngsters.It has produces profound impacts on their studies and life.They believe that the TV talent show can change their fate.At least, they say, the program offers the opportunity to show and develop one’s talents.On the contrary, a number of people hold negative attitude to TV talent shows.They maintain that The TV talent show today is like a fiver that has risen to its flood level.It misleads the youth and makes them believe that they can make a fortune or become famous overnight.As a result, a great many students can’t calm down to study during the show’s season.For my part, I believe that the TV talent show is like a double-edged sword and it is important for us to face it properly.For one thing, the TV studios are supposed to offer more stimulating and favorable shows.For another, the media ought to give people proper guidance and refrain from exaggerating the effects of the show.【范文2】
Recently, there is a public discussion about TV talent show.,because many TV stations have all kinds of TV talent shows, such as Super Boy, Dream of China and so on.TV talent show makes a profound influence on our day-to-day life.Undoubtedly speaking, different people hold different attitudes toward TV talent show.On the one hand, a lot of people seem to think that TV talent show should be supported.The reason why they support it that it gives many people an opportunity to show their talent.And they will become famous for it in sometimes.On the other hand, others believe that TV talent show should be canceled, because many people insist that TV talent show is a speculation.It gives people a false impression that very person will be famous if they attend these shows.In addition, many young people idolize their idols.From my perspective, we should pay more attention to the advantage of TV talent show.Meanwhile, we might take some measures to avoid some negative effects of TV talent show.4.Killing Time Indoors 1.現在很多人業余時間喜歡“宅”在家里 2.人們對這種做法有不同的看法 3.我的看法
【范文】
Nowadays a growing number of people, especially the 20s or 30s, tend to stay indoors for most of their spare time, especially during
holidays.Some spend the majority of their time online chatting, blogging, shopping, dating or playing computer games.Some sit with their eyes glued to the television screen, day and night.People’s opinions vary when it comes to this ways of killing time.A great number of people maintain that staying indoors is cheaper, comfortable, and most importantly, very safe.Others, however, frown upon staying indoors for too long.They are worried that lack of physical exercise and face-to-face communication with others will do harm to people’s body and mind.Personally, I don’t think staying indoors for most of the day should be advocated.Instead, people in all ages, with their physical conditions permitting, should be encouraged to spend more time outdoors.The fresh air, the brilliant sunshine, the pleasant green space, the interactions with other people, etc.are all good for people’s health, both physically and psychologically.5.Restrict Mobile Phone in Library
1.現在有不少人在圖書館的閱覽區里使用手機 2.這一現象可能帶來的影響 3.我的看法 【范文】
As the number of students who have mobile phones increases, various problems also rise, along with its popularity.One of the problems that have aroused students’ attention is the use of mobile phone in the reading room of library.And this phenomenon has become so common that you can always see someone using mobile phone whenever you go into the library.There is no doubt that this behavior will have no good effect.On the one hand, students who use it can not concentrate on their own studies when they constantly send or receive messages.On the other hand, with the ringing of the phones and people’s talking over the phone, students around them may be distracted from their reading as well.Therefore, the proper way of using mobile phones in the library must be emphasized.First of all, whenever you enter the library, turn your mobile phone into the mode of silence or vibration so as to avoid the disturbance of other students.Second, if you do need to make a call or send or receive messages, you’d better go out of the reading room or at least try to reduce the volume of your sound and your phone’s sound.6.My Opinion on Micro-blog
1. 目前越來越多人開起了“微博” 2.“微博”會帶來一些問題 3.我的看法 【范文】
With the improvement of micro-blog services and the influence of some “star bloggers”, most of whom are celebrities, micro-blog is becoming an important way for people to express themselves and communicate with others.Now, more and more people start to use micro-blog services.However, micro-blog might give rise to some problems as well.Some bloggers would express their thoughts and ideas by writing them down in the micro-blogs rather than communicate with their friends or family members.Day by day, blogs tend to draw people away from real life.What’s worse, lack of face-to-face communication with others might isolate bloggers from the society, which would do harm to their mental health.In my view, micro-blog is a good platform for people to show their personal experiences and communicate with others.However, micro-bloggers should adjust the item and avoid spending the whole day on blogging.After all, sitting in front of the cold screen of computer for long does no good to their health, physically and mentally.7.Celebrities as Products’ Spokespersons
1.現在明星為產品代言的現象很普遍 2.明星代言存在的一些問題 2.我的看法 【范文】
In the contemporary society, it is very common for celebrities, or the so-called superstars to be spokesperson for a wide variety of products.On the Internet, television, newspapers, magazines and even on the walls of some buildings, you may find celebrities in the advertising posters.There are some problems existing in celebrities’ endorsing products.In the first place, some stars may know nothing about the products but still accept the invitation as their spokesperson.To these stars, “Look before leap” is just a saying.In the second place, for the sake of money, some stars advertise for items with low quality, even for fake commodities.They never care about consumers’ interests.In my view, as spokespersons, celebrities represent the products.They should understand that the products they are endorsing concern their images and consumers’ interests.Therefore, before endorsing products, they should learn about the products as much as possible.Only by doing so, can they be trusted by their fans and protect the legal rights of general public.8.Spam Message
1.目前垃圾短信泛濫 2.這種現象產生的原因 3.如何解決這個問題 【范文】
With the increasing use of cell phones, spam messages have become a heated issue.According to a survey, on average, people receive about 40 pieces of spam message per month.Spam messages may disturb, confuse, or even threaten people at any time.Generally, there are two reasons for the spam epidemic.On the one hand, due to the fact that text message is a comparatively cheap channel.Many companies take advantage of it to advertise their products or services.Whether people are willing to receive the message is neglected.On the other hand, operators, holding lots of information on cell phone users, sell the importance information and make money out of it.To solve the problem of spam message, relative authorities and professionals should make joint efforts.The government should set up laws to severely punish the illegal advertisers and those who disclose users’ information.Cell phone researchers and developers should upgrade the products and enable them to delete the spam automatically.Should people act together, they will be free from the spam message.9.Internet Slang
1)近年來,網絡語言在青少年中很流行; 2.人們對這一現象的看法不同;
3.我的看法是…… 【范文】
Internet slang such as CU(see you)and 3X(thanks),enjoy great popularity among teenagers nowadays.In fact, it has become so popular that many items now cross from computer-mediated communication to face-to-face communication.Some teenagers even use them in spoken communication as well as in essay writing.People have different opinions towards this phenomenon.Some people say that the crossover is a brand new variety of language evolving and will enrich the language.But others disagree, saying that these new words, being short form for the existing, long-used phrase, don’t “enrich” anything;they just shorten it.Furthermore, even if the slang such as CU and 3X and becomes common in spoken English, their total effect on language will be trivial.In my opinion, Internet slang has little effect on language in general, but will greatly influence individuals, especially teenagers’ language development.It is because overuse of Internet slang will lead to their poor writing, being lacks in spellings, grammar and proper punctuations.That will drastically reduce chances of employment after they graduate and seek jobs.So, for the sake of their future, teenagers had better refrain from Internet slang.10.How to Relieve Stress
1.現代人面臨著各種壓力 2.人們減壓的方法各異 3.我的減壓方法是…...【范文1】
In today’s fast-paced world and with the booming economy, stress is our constant companion.We may face stress from our jobs, families, peers, etc.Though stress adds flavor and challenge to life, too much stress can seriously affect people’s physical and mental well-being, so it is necessary to handle stress properly.When it comes to reducing stress, people vary in their ways.Some people talk with someone, perhaps a friend or a family member, about their anxieties and worries.Others allow themselves a mental “get-away”: a quiet country scene painted mentally can divert them from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind.There are also people who create a sense of peace by reading a good book.The effective way to relieve stress for me is different from those mentioned above.I have several relaxation techniques.For examples, when stress occurs, I would take a deep breath and exhale and if possible, I would take a warm bath.They prove to be very helpful.They help me to calm down my mind and improve my response.【范文2】
Stress is an inevitable part in our life.Many kinds of big events, such as natural disasters, wars and death, can cause great stress.On a day-to-day basis, most people may be faced with stress, resulting from trivial things: taking an exam, waiting in a line, and having too many things to do within a limited time.Various ways can help people to reduce stress.Some people try physical activities which prove to be a great way of getting rid of pressure.For others, sparing time for fun, such as reading humorous books or listening to beautiful music, also helps to derive away bad moods.Still, a good cry can be an effective and healthy way to bring relief to one’s anxiety in a short time.As far as I am concerned, when stress does occur, it is important to recognize it and deal with it rather than escaping from it.My usual way to decrease stress would be practicing yoga, which helps me relax and it is good in keeping a very peaceful mind.And, I strongly oppose the negative ways such as taking sleeping pills, drinking heavily or fighting.11.Is Military Training Necessary Now?
1.有人認為現在的大學生軍訓沒必要 2.有人則認為有必要 3.我認為…… 【范文1】
Whether military training is still necessary for freshmen has become a heated topic in China recently.Some people maintain that it is not and should be canceled.For one thing, military training is nothing but kind of torture, causing horrible sudden death time and again.For another, the training seems ineffective since most students resume their idling lifestyles at the end of the training.However, other people believe that military training is a must for today’s spoiled youth.First of all, it makes them more likely to persist
instead of escaping in face of hardships.Second, the self-discipline and teamwork spirit students develop are invisibly valuable wealth for their future.Last but not least, it provides a good chance for students to learn more on military and broaden their horizons.Generally, I agree with those advocating for military training.However, I insist that some training programs should be modified or carried out carefully.For example, when trainees have to stand for hours in the hot sun, trainers and teachers should watch closely their physical conditions to prevent the tragedy of sudden death from happening.【范文2】
Is it necessary for universities to hold military training for the freshmen now? Different people have different opinions.The opponents say it is a waste of time because what the students learn from it is of no use to their real life.Besides, they also worry about the safety due to the increasing cases of students who got injured or died in it.However, the supporters hold the view that the military training is very beneficial.They believe that it can nurture students’ sense of unity and discipline and foster students’ patriotism as well.What is more, the advocators regard the military training as a good chance for students coming from different cities to know and help each other, which will help them ease the feeling of homesickness.Personally, I think the military training is not a bad thing if effective measures are taken to avoid the potential risks involved in it.With careful consideration and preparation, it can not only have a good influence on students’ character, but also help students learn how to cooperate with other people.12.Whom Do You Turn to When in Trouble? 1.有人遇到困難時向同學、朋友求助 2.有人則向老師、家長求助 3.以你自己為例…… 【范文】
Just as the saying goes: life is not all roses, all of use will need someone else’s help to deal with problems that we may encounter in our life.Here comes the question: whom will you turn to for help? Some say they will ask their classmates or friends for help, because they are peers, thus they can understand each other easily.However, others have different choices when in trouble.They are inclined to tell their teachers and parents the difficulties they are faced with.In their opinion, teachers and parents, who are much older than them, can give them a hand with their rich experience.As for me, close friends are always the people who come to my mind firstly when I am intrigued by something that can not be solved by myself.If we can not figure out a solution by our joint effort, I will go to my teachers or parents for help.With their suggestions or instructions, I can finally find the best way to cope with my troubles.On Self-employment of College Graduates
1.政府加大了鼓勵大學畢業生自主創業的力度; 2.產生這一現象的原因; 3.我的看法是…… 【范文】
Nowadays many college graduates set up their own companies with the fund from the government, which is part of the plans to help graduates to get employed.If graduates can put forward a creative and original plan, they will get the financial aid from the government.Our government is paying increasing attention to this program.There are many reasons responsible for this program.It is intended to stimulate college graduates’ creativity and relieve their pressure of employment.First, there has been an expansion in universities and colleges.As a result, the rate of unemployment is on the rise in recent years because of the competitive job market.Second, some graduate employees are not satisfied with their present jobs and their enthusiasm for work has been frustrated, so they can’t exhaust their potentials.Third, some brilliant and ambitious graduates are confronted with a shortage of start-up capital, so they find it hard to apply what they learn to practice, no matter how good their idea sounds.As far as I’m concerned, the program will not only offer opportunities to graduates but also bring back their confidence in themselves and in the future.An increasing number of graduates will benefit from this program.What is more, the development of each graduate will surely promote the development of the whole society in the long run.14.Text Messages on TV Shows
1目前各類電視節目廣泛使用短信參與方式 2.人們對此有不同的看法 3.我認為…….【范文】
At present, text messages are widely used in various TV shows.From serious news programs to different kinds of entertainment programs, we can always see some interactive sessions which all include the use of text messages, such as text-message voting in Super-girls and Happy boys.Is it good or bad? Some people hold the view that it provides a convenient and relatively cheaper way for audience to participate in the program.While others think it is nothing but a method which takes advantage of the public’s curiosity and their hope of winning awards to lure them into sending lots of messages that cost them a large amount of money.As far as I’m concerned, text message is an effective medium for the audience to interact with the TV shows, which can arouse people’s passion for watching the programs, and bring benefits to the TV station as well.But when we are enjoying the merit of it, we should also take the contents and objectives of the TV programs into consideration to ensure the quality of the TV shows.15.Attending Your Classes Regularly
1.大學生遲到、早退、曠課現象越來越普遍; 2.保證學生的出勤率對大學教育的重要性; 3.作為大學生,我們應該…… 【范文1】
In recent years, with the admission expansion of colleges and universities, there exists a common phenomenon that an increasing number of students are late for or even absent from classes, and a few students even slip out of the classroom before the teacher end up the class.The class attendance is becoming one major problem waiting for immediate attention.There is no doubt that class attendance is of crucial importance to students’ development.In the first place, if students fail to attend the class timely, they will surely miss what the teacher adds to the textbook.In the second place, they demonstrate a lack of self-constraint which plays a vital part in their future.What is worse, they will definitely influence the smooth progress of the class, and his classmate fall victims to his violation of rule.As college students, we should bear in mind that “Well begun is half done” and “Habits make nature”.If we can develop a good habit and prevent ourselves from violating the rule, even the most trivial one, we will certainly strive straight toward the target we have in mind.We should learn to discipline ourselves on campus;otherwise we may suffer a lot in our work place in the near future.You might lose your job or opportunity if you were late.【范文2】Attending Your Classes Regularly
“Should we attend our classes regularly” is an unchanged topic in the university.It is universal that college students are eager to leave early and skip classes frequently.It’s because some students think the classes are so boring that they choose to skip classes.Others are busy in their own association activities, so they have to play truant.However it would give rise to a lot of problems.For instance, some students can’t pass the final exam for skipping classes frequently.What’s really matter is that they will miss plenty of professional courses which will play an important role in their future job.Taking from all the evidence into considerate, we can safety come to the conclusion that we can’t only study without participating in other association.But at the same time we should use our schedule flexibly to balance our academic and spare time.Otherwise teachers should put an emphasis on the improvement of their teaching style which can attract students to listen to their courses.Only in this way can school ensure students’ attendance.【范文】Nowadays, the phenomenon of university students being late for class, left class early and cut class has become a problem we have to face.This phenomenon is more and more common in college.And a number of students are accustomed to do it.Eventually, many students believed that university life is not perfect if you never miss class.A number of factors might contribute to the phenomenon.It is a high time that we put an end to the trend.It is important to pledge the attendance rate of students.The attendance rate of students is representing students’ learning attitude.A high attendance rate not only let students learning more knowledge but also gives some encouragement to teachers.It is beneficial for students to develop a good habit.As a college student, I had been late for class.Even though we have many reasons to do it.Obviously, it is a wrong behavior because it is bad for our study.Eventually, it wastes our time and money.16.Campus Certificate Craze
1)大學生“考證熱”成為潮流;
2)出現這種現象的原因;
3)你的看法是…… 【范文】
If you just stop student on campus and ask him what he is busy about, chances are that he will tell you he is preparing for a certificate of some kind.Investigation points to the fact that it has become a new craze for university and college students to get more certificates.There are two main reasons for this phenomenon.To begin with, university and college students are faced with the pressure of finding a job after graduation.With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to compete for the limited jobs posts.How could one be more competitive? More certificates will doubtlessly impress the employers, so the students are compelled to run from one exam to another.Besides, more and more universities and colleges modify their education training which includes several creative credits.If students fail to get such credits, they can not graduate.As a result, most students choose to pursue certificates.As far as I am concerned, the students should have a more rational attitude toward certificate, because such certificates do not necessarily represent one’s ability.For me, inner ability speaks louder than certificates, which can only be compared to appearance.Opportunities only arise when you are excellent enough in your field.17.A Brief Introduction to the University

It is no doubt that English level is very important factor.In addition, test-taking strategies are the key to succeed in passing CET4.We should get familiar with the general requirements and basic test-taking skills in Writing, reading, listening and other items.We should try our best to learn English and find the best way to get a high mark.Learning English really takes time so if we want to learn it well, we should spend much time practicing using English every day.Besides, we should listen to the teachers and take notes carefully in class.Go over what is learnt regularly and finish doing our homework carefully.If we have time, we'd better listen to English radio programs, read English stories and newspapers, watch English films and TV programmers, keep a diary in English.If we make mistakes, correct them at once and try not to make the same mistakes.What's more, we should look up new words in the dictionary before class and prepare each lesson carefully before class.I believe if we work hard and have good ways of learning English, we can pass the CET4, and get a high mark.Personally what I suggest is that,if you really what to succeed in passing CET4,you should,first of all,remember three very important words—confidence,determination and perseverance.That is,whatever we do,we should always believe in ourselves,and once we have made up our mind to do something,we should try our best to do it well.What’s more,no matter what difficulties we may come across,we should not be discouraged,nor should we give up.Instead,we should keep on trying until we succeed.All in all, passing CET4 is on our own, we worked hard to be successful only.本段非常精彩,句型應用恰如其分!
第三篇:四六級暑假備考指南
四六級暑期備考指南:長戰線+巧計劃
6月份的四、六級考試已經結束,而結束永遠是另一種開始。為考試做準備,時間多多益善。面對12月份的考試,不管你是初戰四、六級的過級新人,還是越挫越勇的斗士,現在,你最需要的是一份適合自己的學習計劃。
一、步步為營穩扎穩打.7-9月份——少壯不努力,老大背單詞
詞匯是基礎,是基石,是基本。面對過千的單詞量,不總結點方法單純死記硬背是很吃力的。常見的幾個背單詞方法:
A、在真題中背單詞
優點:結合題目要求背單詞,更能掌握單詞的使用情況和準確含義,對單詞的考察點掌握得更準確
缺點:不成體系,較為零散
推薦:把最近十年的真題都拿出來做一遍,做不了十年,近五年、三年的最起碼要做
B、用詞匯書中介紹的方法記憶 優點:系統,便利,易于復習和查找
缺點:書本太厚,不易堅持;每個人的記憶習慣不同,尤其對養成學習習慣的人來說不一定合適
推薦:星火的巧記速記,新東方的詞根聯想都可以嘗試,如果是第一次考四六級,那么可以直接照搬書上的方法;如果已經有了自己的背誦習慣,最好選擇跟自己的記憶點結合度高的詞匯書,周計劃、美文情景、實用對話等等,各取所需。
備注:分享兩個小故事。
第一個,背單詞光有方法也不夠,還要保持向上的心態。英語老師常講,背單詞之前先跟自己說,“我背單詞我快樂”。感覺略傻氣,我在單詞書首頁抄了一句話:I’m flooded with happiness.結果單詞沒背幾個,這個句子爛熟于心。所以注意,重點不要跑偏了;
第二個,背書也要有計劃,一學妹想背牛津大辭典,向學長請教有什么方法,學長說,拿個錐子,沖著字典扎一下,透幾頁就背幾頁,學妹照做了,第二天就找學長哭訴,錐子磨得太鋒利,一下子扎透大半本??所以注意,有決心是好的,但要注意把握好度。
2.10月份——集中優勢兵力,各個擊破
有了單詞做儲備就像士兵整理好了裝備,可以踏上征程了。10月份,針對聽、讀、寫、譯、詞等不同的區域各個擊破。這時,我們要對各個環節進行強化訓練和提高。
A. 聽力: 選點感興趣的東西,錄音、視頻、聽力題都可以,每天聽半個小時,保持耳朵的敏感性
B. 閱讀: 詞匯很重要,已做長久準備不多贅述,重點關注長難句和出題邏輯,可以通過做題,看試題解析來把握
C. 翻譯: 理解句意,化繁為簡。改革后段落翻譯難度加大,首先要保證的是不出錯,然后再根據個人積累適當套用句式或轉換表達,所以要多做積累
D. 寫作: 背范文,掌握不同類型作文的行文要求和常用表達,可以試試寫英語日記,讓自己不至于不敢下筆
推薦:
四、六級考試就是這四部份,每個人可以根據自身情況分配復習時間。對自己的弱項,重點突破,不要因為做強項有成就感就不愿做弱項,拉長戰線做準備的時候,正是好好彌補弱項的時候。
3.11月份——真題是個好東西
真題為考試練習的第一首選材料。因為四六級考試剛剛改革,所以真題以時間最近的為好,如果覺得練習量不夠,可以找點可靠的預測或者模式試題來做。切記,做真題之大忌:一套一套的做,不加總結和查閱,只是努力地做下去??那不叫堅持不懈,只是執迷不悟而已。
推薦:計時做題(作文也要寫,重點在于時間把握)——對答案——查閱所有生詞和短語——確定所有選項可以看懂——確認閱讀、聽力、完型原文可以看懂——確認理解寫作范文結構——三天后再次復習本套試卷中的單詞和短語——一周后再次復習本套試卷中的單詞和短語——考試前十天再次復習本套試卷中的單詞和短語。結合遺忘規律,溫故知新,不要讓之前做的功課白費。
4.12月份——雄赳赳,氣昂昂,跨過四六級
邁進12月份,就接近你長長備考路的終點了,硬實力的提升退居其次,相對而言,對考試現場流程的熟悉,對時間的把握以及考試心態的調整會更重要。如果你有好好做計劃,并大致按照它進行復習,那么12月份的任務就是學習的保持和心態的微調,適當放松,相信自己,保持冷靜。畢竟你是走過了5個月戰線的人,與其臨時抱佛腳,不如相信自己踏踏實實的雙腳吧。建議最好做幾套模擬預測試卷練一下,按照標準考試時間
來模擬,預測試卷可以參考各家歷年的命中率,比如星火英語黑旋風系列預測卷命中率就很高,這樣幾套卷子做下來能夠充分把握考試節奏,考試時就會有似曾相識的感覺。
二、計劃為主,娛樂為輔
在線學習是對傳統書桌學習的一種補充。手機APP或者線上課程,都是可以嘗試的。在線學習不限時間,不限次數,可以跟學習同一科目的人認識,更能通過網絡交流學習方面的問題。優秀的網絡平臺會有很多互動功能,像參加一些英語角,可以快速提高口語;在網上收聽一些英文網絡廣播,可以提高聽力和語感。同時,一些官方微博、微信、貼吧、人人,例如:新東方在線、星火英語官方微博、微信,滬江等等,每天都會發一些有關四六級備考內容,大家可以持續關注,每天積累一點點,時間久了就會進步一大截。
如果覺得那些資料太過零散,還可以聽聽新聞網站的新聞(比如CRI,CCTV,China Daily),休息時間看點英文電影或者美劇、原版書,瀏覽境外媒體(CNN,Newsweek, Guardian),這些會不知不覺間影響你的英語語感。習慣成自然,堅持一段時間后,效果就會顯現。
最后,萬事俱備,只欠東風。祝大家考試順利??荚囃旰髣e忘了拿著成績到各家微博轉一下,比如星火英語每年都會有學霸征集令獎學金活動,說不定你也能拿到萬元大獎呢。
第四篇:四六級考試完美備考
四六級考試完美備考:聽力半年提高計劃
新老交替的大學英語四、六級考試改革已基本定型,其中最為困擾眾多考生的無非就是如何進行復習工作,尤其是分值從老題型的 20% 迅猛提升到新題型中 35% 的聽力部分。本文將就聽力部分的半年復習計劃給出一個較為詳細的闡述。
時間的分配可以由松入緊地安排,往往我們需要大約 1 至 2 個月左右的時間來對各類語音、語調、語速進行熟悉,這對于聽力考試來說是個永恒的話題。這個階段中筆者推薦考生先對最為正統的英音和美音進行訓練。就素材而言可以使用 BBC 和 VOA,對于聽力比較薄弱的同學而言,可以使用 VOA SPECIAL。這個階段我們強調對語音、語調、發音特色的熟悉與模仿,聽力中很多單詞其實從閱讀角度而言非常之簡單,但就其發音之千變萬化而言,卻著實是許多考試無法琢磨和領會的。以 2006 年 6 月 24 日考題中短對話第 18 題為例,其中將 madam 讀為 ma’am 發音的特色在美音中比比皆是,但卻是大多四級考生所無法理解的,這就是源于平時對美音接觸過少而產生的。至于英音,雖然中國考生從小接受英音教育,但真正能讀得接近英音特色的,即使是教師也鳳毛麟角。英音以其保守、高雅、含蓄與做作的統一顯現出其作為“紳士、貴婦語言”的獨到之處,卻往往因為與中國考生自詡的“英音”與之大相徑庭而最終難道考生無數。
該階段主要以跟讀與尋找語言感覺為主要目的。因此考生需具備原文部分,在聽的時候對每個單詞重音、抑揚、平仄等均能有所紀錄。在模仿時需盡可能以最原始的方式對發音進行模仿,而切忌在大腦中先形成該單詞后再跟讀,因為這樣的跟讀往往是對自己錯誤發音的強化,所以應該暫時撇開自己固有的對該單詞的認識而從“零”開始。當對正統的發音能基本駕馭后,還可以使用一些慢速電影,這些素材就無須模仿了,只需要盡量去感覺該語言,將發音與單詞進行對號入座即可。
在第一階段完成后,語音語調應該基本能模仿各種口音隨心所欲地進行一些閱讀,如考生可隨意選取一段材料,嘗試分別用英音和美音來進行朗讀并錄音,之后可以自我評判自己的水平。
第二階段進入聽力積累期,該階段將持續 2 個月左右。此時可用一些較為流行的聽說教材作為輔助材料進行訓練,如《走遍美國》(Family Album)、《空中美語教室》(Classroom Studio)等。這些材料中對話部分無疑是對生活情景的最佳分類,因此是積累對話場景詞匯的最佳素材,而一些短小文章性的素材則有助于段子題與聽寫的提高。以場景詞為例,2006 年 6 月 24 日考題中短對話第 15 題中 dessert 與 order 兩個用餐場景詞匯直接將答案引至 C(at a restaurant);而很多考生擔心的長對話部分,在 2006 年 6 月 24 日的考題第 19 題,即長對話的第一題就直接給出了找工作的場景詞匯 resume 的提示,從而將答案引至 B(To be interviewed for a job in the woman’s company.)。因此可以大膽地斷言,如果沒有場景詞匯的支持,聽說能力的提高將注定是無米之炊,天方夜譚。
經過兩個階段的磨練,考生已經做到了“厚積”的工作,至于如何“薄發”,如何做到有的放矢,就看最后 2 個多月如何利用了。畢竟考生是以通過四級為目標的,因此最后 2 個多月的時間應回到對真題的研究。
真題的研究就素質方面而言,應分兩個部分進行,一是對話部分,二是文章部分。對話部分可采用往年考題中的短對話以及 2000 年之前托福(TOEFL)中的一些長對話來進
行練習。對話部分題目相對比較簡單,除了考生經常使用的做題、分析之外,要盡量做到對其中每個單詞的發音都能非常熟悉,即達到將閱讀詞匯轉化為聽力詞匯的目的。對于這個部分,我們可采用聽、圈、讀的三步法來進行實現。第一步聽的意思即為以自然速度播放錄音,仔細聆聽并試圖以同步的速度在大腦中形成意思反饋。如果任何一個單詞無法在下一個單詞出現前形成意思反饋,則需從聽力原文中將該詞圈出(即第二步的圈),然后回到第一步繼續進行,如此往復幾遍后能將原文中自己無法短時間反映的聽力詞匯全部標記完畢。這兩步對于廣大考生發現自己的問題極為重要也極為高效,因為很多考生發現聽的時候往往一片迷茫,而看著原文的時候又幾乎沒有什么閱讀生詞,所以對聽力萌生恐慌,也很難發現自己的問題,從而采取類似全文跟讀等缺乏針對性且事倍功半的復習方法,導致最終的失敗。當所有聽力生詞都圈出后,可對照原文來聽,尤其聽到帶圈的詞時,考生應針對性突破,熟悉該詞語音語調,盡力模仿與體會,以此類推將各生詞逐個擊破后,對對話再進行若干次的整體把握,主要針對句子內部的語速調節、語調升降等進行把握。通過這樣的針對性練習加全局把握,即可在對話部分實現突破,并對日后英語學習中的口語、聽力學習方法有著一定指導意義,且有不可估量的幫助。
對于文章類的考題,主要采用往年考題中的段子題和聽寫題的文章作為藍本,對其進行聽寫練習。聽寫須以 20 詞左右的完整句子為單位進行,如果句子較短,可以用 2 句一起進行,這主要是以四級考試中對聽寫長句的 10 至 23 個單詞不等為依據的。聽寫時只需盡自己全力進行紀錄即可,一句進行完后進行下一句,直至段尾再回到第一句進行第 2 遍聽寫,將第 1 遍中沒有寫全的內容進行補充,如此往復 5 遍。之所以不能針對一句話反復聽寫,這也是由考試聽寫以段為單位進行來決定的,而 5 遍之后仍無法寫出的詞,則被認為是考生不認識、無法聽懂或不了解其拼寫的詞匯,須逐個針對性突破。而針對聽寫相對薄弱的考生,可先進行一些輔助練習。第一步可針對 20 個詞左右的句子進行中文大意復述,同樣以段為單位來進行。當第一步能較為順利的進行后,可進行第二步的英語大意復述,第二步一般不需要經過很長的時間就能實現,因為只需將第一步中的中文翻譯成英語即可。然后就可以進行聽寫練習了,此時可先按照之前兩步的方法,每句寫下其英語大意,然后于原文對照意思上的出入,這一步訓練了考生單詞拼寫的能力,以防考試時能知道大意,卻出現單詞無法拼寫的硬傷。最后可進行完整聽寫,即盡可能地按照原文原詞進行聽寫,通過這種方式來實現對詞匯的全面把握。真正考試過程中,每句話考生只要寫出大意就能得分,但就單詞聽寫部分而言,嚴格要求與原文單詞一致,因此最后一步的聽寫練習也同樣至關重要。
考生最后 2 個月的復習,每天以 10 個短對話、2 個長對話或 3 篇文章為一個單元,這樣的設置比較符合四級考試的安排要求,也比較勞逸結合。
最后兩個月中考生也應通過做題,注意一些技巧的積累。畢竟作為考試本身,與素質提高還是有一定差異存在,因此技巧的理解也是通過考試的利器之一。
因為隨著考試的不斷進行,技巧也在不斷地更新,因此歷年每次考試都應進行總結,不應以抽樣的方式進行。以 2006 年 6 月 24 日的真題為例,短對話中開始考察段子題特色,即短對話向段子題開始靠攏,以總分結構出現一些回答性句式,以次考察考生對總起部分的把握,如該次考題短對話第一題:
M: What was it like working with those young stars?
W: It was a great group.I always got mad that people said that we didn’t get along just because we are girls.There was never a fight.We had a great time.Q: What does the woman mean?
女性回答明顯具有這幾年短對話無限變長的特點,但其核心為最前面一個 5 詞短句,而后半部分均為詳細描述部分,而考點恰恰就在其前半部分。類似的考題還有該次考試中短對話第 16 題。
而正如筆者在 《從2005年6月四級聽力考題看聽力考試發展變化的趨勢》一文 中提到的,具體化依然是現在考試的一個必然趨勢,本次考試的第 15 題在提及食物時沒有直接用 food 這樣通俗易懂的詞匯,取而代之的則是 steak(牛排)、French fries(薯條)之類日常生活中常常涉及到但考生又不太注意的具體食物。
場景詞依然在考試中扮演著舉足輕重的作用,如該次考試的 15 題中的 dessert 就能指向用餐場景,而長對話地 19 題的解題也完全依賴于對文章首回合對話中 resume(簡歷)一詞的把握,而該詞正是 2005 年 12 月第 10 題短對話中的題眼所在。題短對話中的 ma’am(=madam)一詞的縮略讀音,以及 13 題中男性的反問式表達也都是老題中耳熟能詳的解題技巧與考察特征。
所以在總結已有老題的技巧的基礎上,完善每年新技巧的更新是應對每次四級考試的不二法門。當然所謂完善也包括發現自己在哪些方面尚存在問題,并按照真題積累階段所講述的對應方法進行針對性突破的過程。
考前最后一周利用已有的新四級樣題、以及 2006 年 6 月 24 日后的考題 來進行一個時間上的模擬至關重要,以免在考試中出現為了實現正確率而大大降低效率的情況出現,因此時間的把握也是考試成功的關鍵。
當然,在整個復習迎考過程中,也應注意勞逸結合,因個人的身體狀況、各科優劣程度而作出符合自身的復習計劃,從而最優化地分配利用時間,實現復習收效最大化目標,順利通過新四級考試,取得優異成績。
大學英語六級考試中的聽力理解部分歷來是中國學生的薄弱環節,而聽力的好壞對于能否在考試中取得高分又是至關重要的。因此,本文就與六級聽力測試有關的一些注意事項進行進一步的闡述,希望能夠對考生英語聽力測試成績的提高有所助益。
1、六級聽力的大綱要求
教學大綱要求學生能聽懂英語講課,并能聽懂題材熟悉、句子結構比較簡單、基本上沒有生詞、語速為每分鐘150-170詞的簡短會話、談話、報道或講座,掌握其中心大意,抓住要點和有關細節,領會講話者的觀點和態度。大綱所規定的要求并不太高,而要真正達到這一目標卻也并非易事。
美國20世紀100個經典英文演講MP32、六級聽力考試的特點
不同于四級考試的一般要求,六級考試的要求較高。在語速上,六級聽力語速為每分鐘150-170詞,比英美人日常說話的速度(每分鐘150-170詞)還要稍快一些。在難度上,六級的內容較為廣泛,常常與歐美國家的政治、經濟、文化、教育、社會問題及科普知識相關,要求考生具有較寬的知識面,掌握更多的詞匯量。在信息量上,六級常常用較多的信息,而且具有更強的概括和分析能力。在題型上,六級測試出題的重點往往在于推理判斷、辨認信息及總結中心思想。了解了六級聽力測試的特點,就可以有針對性地制定出六級聽力的復習方法。
3、六級聽力的復習方法
1)、持之以恒的聽力訓練
常言說:一天不寫手生,一天不聽耳生。因此每天要安排一定的聽力時間。不過時間不宜過長,以不超過一小時為宜。聽音時要注意力集中,這樣才可達到聽力訓練的效果??记暗穆犃τ柧氂葹楸匾嚎记斑M行適量的“實戰”練習可以幫助考生熟悉聽力考試中的題型、語音、語調以及語速,從而可以避免帶上耳機后的那種不知所措的感覺。
2)、精聽與泛聽相結合在六級聽力測試中確實要求考生精確地聽出某些人名、地名、年代、數據以及一些重要的細節。但如果在聽力過程中只精不泛,就會造成“只見樹木,不見森林”的結果。不過只泛不精的話,則會養成似是而非、不求甚解的習慣。因此,在聽力訓練中,一定要精泛結合:即要攻克那些聽不懂的難點,不厭其煩地聽,直到完全聽懂為止;又要把握大意,以聽兩次為準,以免失去泛聽的意義。
3)、加強捕捉字音訓練及提高從上下文猜字的能力
近音、同音異義給聽力測試增加了難度,往往使考生誤選答案。要解決這一難題,就要加強辨音及提高從上下文正確辨義的能力。例如對同音、近音異義詞的辨析,“pet/bet/,had/head,sat/set,see/sea”等就要靠抓字音以及從上下文猜字的能力來解決。另外,還要注意速讀、弱讀、意群、停頓英美之間的區別以及口語中的發音特點。
4)、平時注意對英美文化背景的了解
在短文聽力測試中常常涉及到一些英美的歷史、地理、文化、體育、風土人情、名人軼事以及科普知識等。如果考生對這一方面的背景知識了解甚少,就不容易理解對話的內容。例如有這么一段話:
“I’d like to remind you when you leave Sydney Airport on your next international flight, you’ll be required to pay a departure tax of 10 dollars.”
問題是:廣播員提醒旅客什么?本題答對的考生僅占35%。其原因很可能是考生缺乏航空旅行經驗,因此聽到有關信息時未能作出正確反應,同時像departure tax這類詞匯對有些考生來說比較陌生。因此考生平時就應注意擴大背景知識面并記住相關的詞匯。
5)、掌握解題要領
Section A的解題要領在于注意第二個講話者的內容。一般來講,絕大部分問題問的是第二個講話者所講的是什么意思,因此,選擇項大都與第二個講話者談話的內容有關。根據這一規律,考生應特別注意第二個講話者的談話內容,盡量記住其細節,然后進行邏輯判斷和推理。
6)、要力爭主動,帶著問題聽
六級聽力理解從開始播放題頭音樂到正式開始做題之前,大約有2分鐘的時間。因此,考生可充分利用這段時間去閱讀試卷上各題的選擇項,盡量爭取在這2分鐘內多看幾道題。正式開始做題之后,要嚴格控制答題時間,根據自己聽懂的內容,盡快確定并標出答案。
第五篇:四六級翻譯備考建議
2014年6月四六級翻譯備考建議
文都名師李群
現在距離2014年6月四六級考試只剩一個月左右的時間,下面就翻譯專項,我給同學們講講最后這一階段的備考建議。
去年12月,四六級進行了比較大幅度的一次改革,尤其是在綜合部分,將原來的完型填空取消,將10%的比分拿到翻譯中,使得翻譯現在占了15%,即148.5分,與寫作是一個分值,因此其重要地位顯得更為突出。而參加上一次四六級考試并且順利失敗的同學也無需氣餒,因為改革后的難度比以前要大,那么在翻譯部分,我們現在能做些什么呢?
首先,翻譯考查的不是詞匯量,而是大家對于中文的思維轉換能力。舉個例子,上一次的四級翻譯考了一篇關于“茶文化”,當中有一句“茶是中國的瑰寶”,許多人一看到“瑰寶”就崩潰了,翻譯成“guibao”或者“rose baby”。注意,我們在翻譯的時候盡量不用拼音,也盡量在沒把握的時候不要直譯。我們可以通過把“瑰寶”的簡單中文意思弄清,再做翻譯。瑰寶,不就是珍寶,財寶嗎?我們在中學不是學過treasure表示“財寶”嗎?所以瑰寶翻譯成treasure即可。因為四六級翻譯考的詞都是大家學過的,只是考查大家的思維轉換能力而已。又比如六級真題考到一篇關于中秋節,有一句是“這天晚上皓月當中”,當中“皓月”又難倒不少考生,其實很簡單,皓月不就是“明月”嗎?明月翻譯成bright moon。該篇還出現“?!薄昂汀钡葞в兄袊鴤鹘y特色的詞,我們仔細想想,“?!辈痪褪切腋??因此譯為happiness。而“和”不就是家和,家庭和諧,不就是和諧harmony一詞嗎?這些詞我們在初中肯定都學過。所以,我們在做新翻譯題的時候,思維很關鍵,對于中文的定義比翻譯本身更重要。思路對了,翻譯就不會錯。
其次,我們現在需要多做模擬題。有人問:為什么不做真題?答:改革后的翻譯真題加樣題只有四篇,我們需要練習只能做模擬題,文都就有四級和六級的模擬預測卷,而且何凱文老師根據多年授課經驗針對改革后的四級題型,今年專門為廣大考生編寫了《四級絕對考場最后五套題》是考前這不到一個月時間里的模擬法寶。在這里文都老師要強調的是在做題的時候要盡量養成有字典不用的習慣,盡量用自己的思路去翻譯,而翻譯完了再對照答案,看看自己有什么不足的地方,再進行改正。
最后,我們來預測下這次四六級可能出現的話題。現在翻譯的話題都是涉及中國傳統文化,因此中國傳統節日很有可能繼續考,比如:端午節,重陽節,元宵節;其中端午節很有可能出現(當然也有可能不出現),我們需要知道一些詞的翻譯,比如粽子glutinous rice dumpling。有人問,有沒有可能考三八婦女節,六一兒童節?可能性不是很大,現在考查的熱門話題是傳統佳節,而不是國際性節日。而一些城市話題也有可能出現,比如說考查一個中國城市,個人認為最可能出現的是北京和古城西安。也有可能出現一些中國傳統菜系,比如川菜。
總之,我們需要多做模擬題(至少十篇),熟悉各種題材的翻譯,才能更好地應對本次四六級考試,最后,文都教育祝各位考生取得佳績。
