第一篇:2014年6月英語四級(jí)圖表作文寫作技巧
2014年6月英語四級(jí)圖表作文寫作技巧 看圖作文出現(xiàn)的概率要小一些,所以考生平時(shí)練習(xí)的也少一些,考試時(shí)就不容易把握住寫作技巧,針對(duì)這個(gè)問題,小編為大家總結(jié)了圖表作文寫作的一些技巧,希望對(duì)大家有幫助。簡(jiǎn)要描繪圖畫直觀內(nèi)容寫好圖表作文的第一步就是要把自己眼睛直觀看到的圖畫內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)單的描述出來,這點(diǎn)在題干中也有強(qiáng)調(diào)。如果考生英語水平一般,無法組織好自己的語言,在對(duì)圖畫內(nèi)容進(jìn)行描述時(shí),可以飲用圖畫中人物的對(duì)話。此外,這一段的描述簡(jiǎn)要描述即可,不用發(fā)散和深挖。這樣一來,如果考生沒看懂圖畫內(nèi)容也可以照抄題干。闡明觀點(diǎn)并深層探討圖畫作文的觀點(diǎn)一般在題干中都會(huì)清楚地給出來,考生在寫作中除了需要看懂圖畫中的對(duì)話還要仔細(xì)審清題干,在寫作過程中,考生闡明觀點(diǎn)之后的思路與一般的六級(jí)英語作文提綱型寫作一致,針對(duì)作文的觀點(diǎn)可以先舉例說明現(xiàn)象、然后再探討導(dǎo)致現(xiàn)象的原因以及該現(xiàn)象可能導(dǎo)致的后果等;還可結(jié)合數(shù)字、研究、名言等材料對(duì)這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行論證和深層探討。總之,這一段就是要考生來發(fā)散和深挖內(nèi)容。總結(jié)陳述觀點(diǎn)并給出合理建議跟一般的提綱作文一樣,圖畫作文的最后也要對(duì)全文進(jìn)行觀點(diǎn)總結(jié),考生還要根據(jù)不同的圖畫內(nèi)容和主題給出相應(yīng)的建議或者評(píng)價(jià),這一點(diǎn)有點(diǎn)類似解決問題型的作文結(jié)尾。對(duì)于第三部分的寫作,考生一般都很熟悉,無論哪種作文,除了書信體以外,作文結(jié)尾一段都會(huì)要求考生給出自己的觀點(diǎn)或意見,圖畫類的也一樣。英語四、六級(jí)的改革說明現(xiàn)在考試也開始注重創(chuàng)新和改變,所以作文類型也會(huì)靈活多變,不會(huì)僅僅拘泥于傳統(tǒng)的提綱寫作,考生在復(fù)習(xí)時(shí)要時(shí)刻保持對(duì)創(chuàng)新的熱情,做到無論考試有什么變化,自己都能有所準(zhǔn)備。以上就是為大家準(zhǔn)備的圖表類作文的寫作技巧,除了這些技巧之外,考生平時(shí)依然不能放松語法和詞匯的復(fù)習(xí),希望大家考試順利過關(guān)!
在上半年的英語四級(jí)考試中,作文采用了圖畫式作文的模式,這對(duì)考生來說應(yīng)該不會(huì)陌生,但如何能將此類作文寫出高分,還是有一定技巧的。本文闡述了圖畫作文的三段式寫作技巧,希望對(duì)備考2013年12月英語四級(jí)考試的同學(xué)們有所幫助。
2013年6月英語四級(jí)作文考察的是圖畫作文。對(duì)于圖畫作文,基本可以認(rèn)為是我們小學(xué)時(shí)練習(xí)的“看圖說話”。雖然題目不會(huì)給出提綱,但是基本的寫作思路是固定的:描述圖片、闡明觀點(diǎn)、給出建議。
第一段,重點(diǎn)描述圖畫內(nèi)容。這點(diǎn)在題干中也有強(qiáng)調(diào)(with a brief description of the picture)。對(duì)圖畫內(nèi)容的描述可以引用圖畫中人物的對(duì)話。簡(jiǎn)要描述即可,不用發(fā)散或挖掘。也就意味著,事實(shí)上你若看不懂圖畫中的“核廢物”之,其實(shí)沒關(guān)系,照抄就好。
第二段,闡明觀點(diǎn)。而觀點(diǎn)在題干中事實(shí)上給得很清楚:the importance of doing small things before undertaking somethingbig.這進(jìn)一步說明仔細(xì)審清題干比看懂圖畫中的對(duì)話更重要。闡明觀點(diǎn)之后的思路與一般的六級(jí)提綱型寫作一致,如我們一般在課上所提的,可以先舉例說明現(xiàn)象、然后再探討導(dǎo)致現(xiàn)象的原因以及該現(xiàn)象可能導(dǎo)致的影響等;還可結(jié)合數(shù)字、研究、名言等進(jìn)行論證。
末段,除了總結(jié)觀點(diǎn)外,一般還可以提出建議。這段的寫法無論是圖畫、圖表還是提綱寫作、甚至格言諺語型寫作,都差別不大。
繼之前六級(jí)考察圖畫作文后,這次四級(jí)也考察了圖畫作文。這說明四、六級(jí)的出題思路不再拘泥于傳統(tǒng)的提綱寫作,開始進(jìn)行多種變化。我們也要對(duì)相應(yīng)的考法做好準(zhǔn)備。
但無論哪種考法,最核心的仍然是:仔細(xì)審題、清晰思路、不要犯錯(cuò)。
四、六級(jí)一貫會(huì)在寫作題干中包含重要信息甚至觀點(diǎn),因此審題必不可少;各種考法的文章展開方式、各段寫法有類似之處,我們要學(xué)會(huì)融會(huì)貫通,以及文章只要沒有犯語言錯(cuò)誤,即便遣詞造句不那么漂亮,分?jǐn)?shù)也不會(huì)低。
展開方式有以下幾種:
1.舉例論證
舉例論證時(shí),結(jié)合你自身的例子是最容易有話說的論證方式。
2.引用論證
引用論證就是可以用來自書籍Once I read a book,…;There is an old saying …“俗話說……”;或者中外名人曾說過。
3.道理論證
道理論證即用日常生活中所有人都熟悉的一些話語來論證。一般主要從對(duì)引起某現(xiàn)象的原因略述一二。
分享一個(gè)可用的模板:
What has brought about this effect? I believe there are three main reasons.To begin with, ____________________(原因一).It is believed that
____________________(進(jìn)一步稍加說明).In addition,____________________(原因二).Finally, ____________________.(再次總結(jié)原因。)
最后,結(jié)尾段再次重申觀點(diǎn) + 問題解決方法;避免某一現(xiàn)象的措施;向?qū)W校(the school),機(jī)構(gòu)(XX administration),政府(the government),每個(gè)人(every citizen / every individual)發(fā)出呼吁(I appeal to…),給出建議(My suggestion is that …)漫畫、圖表近年常考,常用句型來支招
圖表類:
1)As is shown in the table, ________________.(正如表格顯示)
2)This is a chart which demonstrates / depicts / illustrates ________________.(這一表格展示)
3)Obvious from the graph is that ________________.(很顯然從圖中得出)
4)It must be pointed out that + 圖中明顯特征(必須指出)
5)It is worth mentioning that + 圖中明顯特征(值得一提)
漫畫類:
1)Today I saw an interesting cartoon, in which ________________.(輕松、活潑,真實(shí)感帶入,意思為:今天我看到了一幅有趣的漫畫,其中……)
2)As is vividly depicted in the drawing above, ________________.(嚴(yán)肅、準(zhǔn)確、客觀描述,意思為:正如圖中形象描繪出……)
3)The picture / cartoon / drawings talking about …(擬人化,意思為:圖中談?wù)摿恕?/p>
4)The cartoon describes an interesting phenomenon.(總起句,意思為:漫畫描述了有一個(gè)有趣的現(xiàn)象)注意:這種封閉式提法后面,一定還要有一句結(jié)合圖片細(xì)節(jié)的話。考前準(zhǔn)備要充分,細(xì)節(jié)功夫勿輕心
作為考前沖刺的最后一發(fā)“磨刀粉”,溫馨提示大家考前一定要備好準(zhǔn)考證、2B鉛筆、橡皮擦、好用的簽字筆、收音機(jī)等考場(chǎng)必備物品。尤其是好用的簽字筆這一條,直接關(guān)系到作文字跡是否清晰、漂亮!考場(chǎng)上,作文要想拿高分,一定要注意的細(xì)節(jié)就是:一要字跡清晰漂亮,二要語法、拼寫錯(cuò)誤少!
最后,祝愿每位考生都能在本次四級(jí)考試中取得理想的成績(jī)!

Nowadays, Western festivals such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day are gaining increasing popularity in China, especially among college students.But whether we should celebrate these festivals has become a subject of heated discussion.Some believe celebrating Western festivals is a sign of globalization.They argue that China needs to take in various foreign cultures so as to blend into the modern world.And celebrating Western festivals is a good opportunity for the Chinese to know more about other cultures.However, others believe that the Western festivals threaten a kind of cultural aggression.Therefore, we should drive them out lest they should undermine our traditional culture.In my opinion, as college students, we should preserve the traditional Chinese culture as well as stay open to Western ones.Therefore, while laying emphasis on Chinese festivals, we could also absorb foreign elements.
第五篇:英語四級(jí)寫作技巧
英語四級(jí)寫作技巧
寫作中閱卷人喜歡的句式有以下兩種:一是插入語;二是倒裝。
第一,插入語。
所謂插入語,英語中有兩種形式。一種是有兩個(gè)逗號(hào)之間引起的成分稱之為插入語;第二種是有兩個(gè)半破折號(hào)引起的成分稱之為插入語。如下所示(黑體劃線處):
Jinan, the Spring City, is a famous tourist city.Other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.插入語的作用主要有兩個(gè),一個(gè)是突出主語,比如說:He, who would like to play basketball, is a good student.第二個(gè)作用是解釋說明,比如說:People, especially students, should work hard.第二,倒裝
倒裝是我們寫作中需要用到的。雖然略顯俗套,但是卻是很能滿足閱卷人的主觀感受的。常用的倒裝形式有以下幾種:
Only + 時(shí)間狀語
Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.Only + 介詞詞組
Only in this way can we master the writing skills step by step.否定詞位于句首(hardly when;never;not only---,but also---;seldom)在我一生當(dāng)中很難遇到這樣的人
Seldom in my life have I met such a kind-hearted man.地點(diǎn)方位名詞位于句首
In no other place in the world can one find such enthusiasm for applying for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games.第三,修辭
無論是漢語寫作還是英語寫作,修辭其實(shí)非常的重要。它是作者寫作功底具體事例地展現(xiàn)。所謂修辭包括比喻、擬人、排比等等。英語寫作中的修辭問題我已經(jīng)專門寫過一篇文章(見《英語寫作幾種修辭手法》)。這里僅舉一個(gè)比喻例子,還是拿“重要的”來舉例。當(dāng)你用完詞組之后,如果你用上下面比如句子,則文章就會(huì)顯得神采飛揚(yáng),試比較:
The bicycle is important for us.The bicycle is of importance for us.The bicycle plays an important role in our life.The bicycle, environmental friendliness vehicle, plays an important role in our life.The bicycle is like the air, water, and sunshine and cannot be parted with a moment in our life.那么很明顯,最后一個(gè)句子是我們最終拿到考場(chǎng)上去搏擊高分的句子。
第四,平時(shí)要注意積累
很多考生為了寫好作文也作了好多工作,課下也付出了很多,包括背誦大量的文章等等,但是提筆寫作時(shí)候,仍不見的有所改觀。問題在哪里呢?
我認(rèn)為,很多考生雖然也背誦文章,但卻只是死記硬背。如果合上書本讓他復(fù)述,他們就會(huì)卡殼。就是茶壺里煮餃子,倒不出來。我們說背誦是個(gè)輸入的過程,出的過程。我們真正需要的是把平時(shí)積累的隨時(shí)隨地用在我們的寫作中。因此,我們?cè)谧⒅胤e累的同時(shí),一定在平時(shí)練習(xí)的時(shí)候,把他們多家運(yùn)用。只有多練多用,才能真正達(dá)到學(xué)以致用,才能真正提高寫作水平。
英語四級(jí)作文寫作技巧
英語四級(jí)考試作文的評(píng)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,所謂切題就是要求考生緊扣文章大綱;條理則要求考生詞匯、語法運(yùn)用不出錯(cuò)誤;四級(jí)作文的字?jǐn)?shù)要求一般是不少于100字。要在30分鐘的時(shí)間內(nèi),達(dá)到這些要求,沒有一套行之有效的方法顯然是不行的。在這里,我們?yōu)榇蠹姨峁┧募?jí)寫作的一般技巧。
一、審題
1.審體裁(議論文,說明文,描述文)
審題就是要審作文的題材和體裁。因?yàn)槭裁礃拥捏w裁就會(huì)用什么樣的題材去寫。那么體裁包括那些呢?它包括議論文,說明文和描述文。從近些年看,四級(jí)作文不是單一的體裁,而是幾種體裁的糅合體。例如:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic “Trying to Be A Good University Student.” You should write at least 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(可以從德智體方面談)
3)我計(jì)劃怎樣做
很多人說這種類型的作文是議論文。這是片面的,因?yàn)椋谝欢我髮憽啊匾浴保瑒t是議論文;第二段要求寫“…必備條件”,則要求寫說明文;第三段要求寫“…這樣做”,則要求寫描述文。所以在大多數(shù)情形下,四級(jí)作文是三種體裁的糅合體。
2.確定相應(yīng)的寫作方法
我們審題的目的就是根據(jù)不同體裁確定不同的寫作方法。通過審題,我們可
以看出四級(jí)作文大都是三段式。如上例第一段為議論體,第二段為說明體,第三段為描述體。而各種文體又有不同的寫作方式:議論文:要有論點(diǎn)和論據(jù),而且往往從正反兩方面來論述。例如上面第一段的思路是:做合格大學(xué)生,會(huì)怎么樣(這是從正面論述);不能做合格的大學(xué)生,又會(huì)怎么樣(從反面論述);所以我們要做合格的大學(xué)生(結(jié)論)。說明文:可以從幾方面來說明一個(gè)問題,可以從德智體三方面來說明合格大學(xué)生的必要性。描述文:以“人”為中心描述一個(gè)“做”的過程。與上兩段相比,本段的主語多為人稱代詞,他要與第二段相呼應(yīng)進(jìn)行描述。
二、確定主題句
審?fù)觐}后,接下來就是如何寫的問題。第一步就是確定主題句,主題句既能保證你不跑題,又能幫助你制定寫作思路。而寫主題句最保險(xiǎn)的方法就是直接翻譯中文提綱,如上述之段主題句為:
It is very necessary to be a good university student.(議論體的主題句)
There are several respects of necessities to be a good university student.(說明體的主題句)
What I will do in the future is the following.(描述體的主題句)
三、組織段落
確定主題句后,接下來的工作就是展開論述。許多考生真正犯難的也是這一步。最基本的解決辦法是擴(kuò)大詞匯量,豐富自己的語法存儲(chǔ)。在寫作時(shí),語法和詞匯都是最基本的。然而,組織段落的能力也是尤為重要的。行文時(shí),不只是提供一些information,還要學(xué)會(huì)運(yùn)用一些examples, personal experiences, comparisons, descriptions等等,只有這樣,才不會(huì)覺得無話可“寫”。
四、連貫與銜接
1.列舉法
列舉的模式通常是
主題句
----example 1
----example 2
----example 3
列舉時(shí)常用for example, for instance, such as, like, thus, take…as an example, to illustrate 等詞語.Nonverbal communication, or “body language,” is communication by facial expressions, head or eye movements, hand signals, and body postures.It can be just as important to understanding as words are.Misunderstandings are often amusing but sometimes serious ones can arise between people from different culture if they misinterpret nonverbal signals.Take for example, the differences in meaning of gesture are very common in the United States: a circle made with the thumb and index finger.To an American, it means that everything is Ok.To a Japanese, it means that you are talking about money.In France, it means that something is worthless, and in Greece, it is an obscene gesture.Therefore, an American could unknowingly offend a Greek by using that particular hand signal.2.分類法
一般是在主題句之后,依次羅列段落指示詞所表達(dá)的幾個(gè)部分或幾個(gè)方面。然后,選用豐富的事例對(duì)所羅列的各個(gè)部分或各個(gè)方面進(jìn)行具體地說明或解釋。There are three basic kinds of materials that can be found in any good library.First, there are books on all subjects, both in English and in many other languages.These books are organized according to subject, title, and author in a central file canned the card catalog.Books can generally be checked out of the library and taken home for a period of two to four weeks.Second, there are reference works, which include encyclopedias, dictionaries, bibliography, atlases, etc., and which generally must be used in the library itself.Third, there are periodicals-magazines, newspapers, pamphlets-which are filed alphabetically in racks, or which have been filmed to conserve space.Like reference works, periodicals cannot usually be removed from the library.分類時(shí)常用:most of all,next,moreover,in addition,besides,furthermore,to begin with,to start with,first of all,first,second,third…
3.因果關(guān)系
在段落一開頭,就用主題句點(diǎn)明其因果關(guān)系,然后選用有關(guān)材料,客觀的羅列某些原因或結(jié)果,以闡述中心思想。
Growing numbers of well-to-do Americans are making the decision to move abroad.They find it impossible in America to walk the streets at night without fear of being raped, mugged, or murdered, nor do they see a way to escape the poisonous air of the cities.They maintain that even American food has become increasingly dangerous to eat.Last but not least, they insist that they are sick of the pace of American life, a pace that leaves no time for relaxation or pleasure.因果關(guān)系常用語匯: because of, so, owing to, thanks to, thus, as a result of, hence, for this reason, consequently, is caused by, lead to, result in
4.比較法
主題句必須明確表明所要比較的對(duì)象和所要比較的范圍,實(shí)際上就是羅列兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上比較對(duì)象的相同點(diǎn)。
Learning English is like building a house.Laying a solid foundation is the first and most important step.In other words, you should read and speak English every day.Memorizing new words and phrases is also helpful.Like building a house, learning English takes some time.So don’t be impatient.Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.常用語匯:at the same time, similar to, accordingly, both, show a degree of similarity, similarly, the same as, and… too, in the same way, in a like manner
5.舉例法
列舉事實(shí)或舉出實(shí)例來說明中心思想, 是簡(jiǎn)單易行、具有說服力的寫作方法。
Communicating with other people by telephone is very convenient, especially when you have something urgent.For example, if one of your family members is
seriously ill at night, and you don’t know how to deal with it and where to find a doctor, what can you do? A telephone is the answer.Dial 120 and you will get services from the hospital very soon.
