考研英語備考掌握小作文的寫作技巧

  考研英語小作文寫作技巧很重要

根據《考研英語大綱》規定,考研英語作文就有兩類了,一個大作文,另一個是新增的小作文(10分)。英語一的大作文為圖畫作文(20分),英語二的為圖表作文(15分)。其中的小作文,多是辭職信、道歉信、感謝信等應用文體,它的形式是給出提示要點,要求考生根據要求表達清楚要點。

它的評分重點在於資訊點的覆蓋;內容的組織,語言的準確性;格式及語域的恰當。鑑於小作文不需要華麗的詞藻和吸引閱卷人眼球的文采,只要掌握一定的方法技巧,在格式、語言和要點等方面下足功夫,拿到理想的分數還是不難的。下面就為2016年考研的同學們提供以下小作文寫作技巧。

一、格式

1、稱呼:英語應用文稱呼有這樣的特點:

(1)如果是不認識的人,一般稱呼為敬詞+尊稱。例如,DearSirorMadam或者ToWhomItMayConcern(需注意每個單詞首字母都大寫)。

(2)如果是寫給關係正式的某團體或個人,稱呼為敬詞+尊稱+名。例如,,或;

(3)對於關係較親密的人可以直呼其名,即Dearxx。

同時需要注意的是:1、稱呼要頂格寫;2、稱呼之後要加逗號或者冒號。這裡推薦大家用逗號,因為歷年的高分範文都是用逗號的。

2、正文:正文格式一般有兩種格式:一是縮排式,即首段開頭空四個字母,段落之間不空行;另一種是齊頭式,即每段開頭不空格,但是各段之間空一行。建議考生採用縮排式,因為如果用齊頭式,段間空行的話很可能答題空間不夠,導致字數不夠。

3、結語:結語要注意要留出兩行。一行是靠後寫類似漢語“此致敬禮”的話也就是“Sincerelyyours,”或者“Yourssincerely,”一定要注意這個地方的結尾是有逗號的,如果丟掉了逗號,則會扣掉一份,請大家一定要注意。同時,還需要注意落款,落款部分不能寫自己的名字。

按照directions中的要求使用名字。英語一一般是Liming結尾,英語二為Zhangwei。同時請大家注意名字後面一定不要加任何的符號。很多的學生喜歡在此打點號,請大家一定要注意,這裡會被扣掉一分。

二、語言

寫作用詞準確是最基礎的要求之一。其次,句型可以多變,例如既有並列句,也有複合句,還有從句,但注意語法運用要正確。此外還要注意,正式語言一般是寫給具有正式關係的團體或機構,這種情況不用縮略語和口語用法。

英語二的小作文一般寫給正式關係的機構的文章片偏多。除了正式的文體以外,其他的文體皆為非正式文體,像寫給朋友的書信等。英語一的'小作文就是較為非正式一些。

一般小作文的考查要求中會體現出寫該篇的目的和場合,所以考生在寫作時要注意針對不同場合使用不同語言,使交流得以進行。另外,考生也要注意不同的應用文有不同的用語。建議考生對某些應用文的格式和習慣用語,應該加以熟悉和背誦,以便運用自如。

三、其他

考生在考試時注意在看到題目要求後不要忙於動筆,雖說小作文的字數充其量在一百多個單詞,但是依舊要在腦子裡理清思路。最好能夠在仔細審題以後,認真列個提綱,這樣更有利於思路清晰。

寫作時,注意表達清楚以下幾個方面:

首先交代清楚寫信目的;其次為了讓閱卷者對你的文章結構及表意一目瞭然,注意關聯詞或銜接詞的運用;接下來,應該對個人的觀點進行闡述。最後,行文間要注意簡化描述,用簡短的語句代替冗長的語句。在作文完成的時候,應該檢查、修改,以免遺漏一些需要表達清楚的要點和細節。

  考研英語寫作的七項基本原則

一、 長短句原則

工作還得一張一馳呢,老讓讀者讀長句,累死人!寫一個短小精闢的句子,相反,卻可以起到畫龍點睛的作用。而且如果我們把短句放在段首或者段末,也可以揭示主題:

As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in awayquite similar.

如此可見,長短句結合,抑揚頓挫,豈不爽哉?牢記!

強烈建議:在文章第一段(開頭)用一長一短,且先長後短;在文章主體部分,要先用一個短句解釋主要意思,然後在闡述幾個要點的時候採用先短後長的句群形式,定會讓主體部分妙筆生輝!文章結尾一般用一長一短就可以了。

二、 主題句原則

國有其君,家有其主,文章也要有其主。否則會給人造成“群龍無首”之感!相信各位讀過一些破爛文學,故意把主體隱藏在文章之內,結果造成我們稀裡糊塗!不知所云!所以奉勸各位一定要寫一個主題句,放在文章的開頭(保險型)或者結尾,讓讀者一目瞭然,必會平安無事!特別提示:隱藏主體句可是要冒險的!

To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared beforetheexam(主題句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.

三、 一 二 三原則

領導講話總是第一部分、第一點、第二點、第三點、第二部分、第一點… 如此羅嗦。可畢竟還是條理清楚。考官們看文章也必然要通過這些關鍵性的“標籤”來判定你的文章是否結構清楚,條理自然。***方法很簡單,只要把下面任何一組的詞彙加入到你的幾個要點前就清楚了。

1)first, second, third, last(不推薦,原因:俗)

2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推薦,原因:俗)

3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推薦,原因:俗)

4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推薦,原因:俗)

5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(強烈推薦)

6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(強烈推薦)

7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(強烈推薦)

8)most important of all, moreover, finally

9)on the one hand, on the other hand(適用於兩點的情況)

10)for one thing, for another thing(適用於兩點的情況)

建議:不僅僅在寫作中注意,平時說話的時候也應該條理清楚!

四、 短語優先原則

寫作時,尤其是在考試時,如果使用短語,有兩個好處:其一、用短語會使文章增加亮點,如果老師們看到你的文章太簡單,看不到一個自己不認識的短語,必然會看你低一等。相反,如果發現亮點—精彩的短語,那麼你的文章定會得高分了。其二、關鍵時刻思維短路,只有湊字數,怎麼辦?用短語是一個辦法!比如:I cannot bear it.可以用短語表達:I cannot put up with it. I want it.

可以用短語表達:I am looking forward to it.這樣字數明顯增加,表達也更準確。

五、 多實少虛原則

原因很簡單,寫文章還是應該寫一些實際的東西,不要空話連篇。這就要求一定要多用實詞,少用虛詞。

我這裡所說的虛詞就是指那些比較大的詞。比如我們說一個很好的時候,不應該之說 nice 這樣空洞的詞,應該使用一些諸如 generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted,hospital 之類的形象詞。再比如:

走出房間,general 的詞是:walk out of the room

但是小偷走出房間應該說:slip out of the room

小姐走出房間應該說:sail out of the room

小孩走出房間應該說:dance out of the room

老人走出房間應該說:stagger out of the room

所以多用實詞,少用虛詞,文章將會大放異彩!

六、 多變句式原則

1)加法(串聯)

都希望寫下很長的句子,像個老外似的,可就是怕寫錯,怎麼辦,最保險的寫長句的方法就是這些,可以在任何句子之間加 and, 但最好是前後的句子又先後關係或者並列關係。比如說:

I enjor music and he is fond of playing guitar.如果是二者並列的,我們可以用一個超級句式:

Notonlythefurcoatissoft,butitisalsowarm.(notonly…butalso…)

其它的短語可以用:besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover

2)轉折(拐彎抹角)

批評某人缺點的時候,我們總習慣先拐彎抹角說說他的優點,然後轉入正題,再說缺點,這種方式雖然陰險了點,可畢竟還比較容易讓人接受。所以呢,我們說話的時候,只要在要點之前先來點廢話,注意二者之間用個轉折詞就夠了。

The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition. Thecoatwasthin,but it was warm.

更多的短語:despite that, still 仍, however 然而, nevertheless 然而, in spite of 不管, despite不管, notwithstanding .雖然

3)因果(so, so, so)

昨天在街上我看到了一個女孩,然後我主動搭訕,然後我們去咖啡廳,然後我們認識了,然後我們成為了朋友…可見,講故事的時候我們總要追求先後順序,先什麼,後什麼,所以然後這個詞就變得很常見了。其實這個詞表示的是先後或因果關係!

The snow began to fall, so we went home.

更多短語:then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that

4)失衡句(頭重腳輕,或者頭輕腳重)

有些人腦袋大,身體小,或者有些人腦袋小,身體大,雖然我們不希望長成這個樣子,可如果真的是這樣了,也就必然會吸引別人的注意力。文章中如果出現這樣的句子,就更會讓考官看到你的句子與眾不同。其實就是主語從句,表語從句,賓語從句的變形。

舉例:This is what I can do. Whether he can go with us or not is not sure.

同樣主語、賓語、表語可以改成如下的複雜成分:When to go, Why he goes away…

5)附加(多此一舉)

如果有了老婆,總會遇到這樣的情況,當你再講某個人的時候,她會插一句說,我昨天見過他;或者說,就是某某某,如果把老婆的話插入到我們的話裡面,那就是定語從句和同位語從句或者是插入語。

The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine. I don’t enjoy that book you are reading.

Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going.

其實很簡單,同位語--要解釋的東西刪除後不影響整個句子的構成;定語從句—借用之前的關鍵詞並且用其重新組成一個句子插入其中,但是 whom or that 關鍵詞必須要緊跟在先行詞之前。

6)排比(排山倒海句)

文學作品中最吸引人的地方莫過於此,如果非要讓你的文章更加精彩的話,那麼我希望你引用一個個的排比句,一個個得對偶句,一個個的不定式,一個個地詞,一個個的短語,如此表達將會使文章有排山倒海之勢!

Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you.

Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas,solar heat, the wind and ocean tides.

We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (氣勢恢巨集)

要想寫出如此氣勢恢巨集的句子非用排比不可!

七、 挑戰極限原則

既然十挑戰極限,必然是比較難的,但是並非不可攀!

原理:在學生的文章中,很少發現諸如獨立主格的句子,其實也很簡單,只要花上 5 分鐘的時間看看就可以領會,它就是分詞的一種特殊形式,分詞要求主語一致,而獨立主格則不然。比如:

The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.

Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.

如果您可一些出這樣的句子,不得高分才怪!

文章主體段落三大殺手鐗:

一、舉例項

思維短路,舉例項!提出一個觀點,舉例項!提出一個方案,舉例項!而且者也是我們揭示一個觀點最好的方式,任何情況下,只要我們無法繼續文章,不管三七二十一,儘管舉例子!

In order to attract more customers, advertisers have adopted every possible stimulative factor in making ads, such as sound, light, colours, cartoon films and human performance. For instance, to advertise a certain food, advertisers will ask an actor or actress to sit at a table and devour the seemingly delicious food while they fime him or her.

更多句型:To take … as an example, One example is…, Another example is…, for example

二、做比較

方法:寫完一個要點,比較與之相似的;又寫完一個要點,再比較與之相反的;

世界上沒有同樣的指紋,沒有相同的樹葉,文章亦同,只有通過比較,你才會發現二者的相同點(through comparison)和不同點(through contrast) 。下面是一些短語:

相似的比較:in comparison, likewise, similarly, in the same manner

相反的比較:on the other hand, conversely, whereas, while, instead, nevertheless, in contrast, on the contrary, compared with …,…

三、換言之

沒話說了,可以換一句話再說,讓你的文章在多一些字,或者文鄒鄒地說,是讓讀者更充分的理解你的觀點。

實際就是重複重複再重複!下面的句子實際上就三個字 I love you!

I am enthusiastic about you. That is to say, I love you.

I am wild about you. In other words, I have fallen in love with you.

或者上面我們舉過的例子:

I cannot bear it.可以用短語表達:I cannot put up with it.

因此可以這樣說:I cannot bear it. That is to say, I cannot put up with it or I am fed up with it.

更多短語:in more difficult language, in simpler words, put it more simply“引言”段落中的常用句型:

1. …is a very popular topic which is much talked about not only by …but also by …
