英語四級作文複習的必備要素

  大學英語四級考試作文複習的必備要素

一. 休息

考試迫在眉睫時,同學們往往容易進入一種臨考狀態。這種狀態比較突出的表現是夜不能寐。尤其是在專業課和全國四六級考試紛至沓來的時候,很多同學更是發揚連續作戰的精神,通宵達旦,頭懸樑、錐刺骨。其實這對於像四六級考試這樣的高強度考試而言是有百害而無一益的。道理很簡單,四六級考試對於一個學生來說,不僅是一次英語水平的綜合測試,也是一種意志力、甚至是體力的考驗。沒有良好的休息作為後盾,考生很難笑到最後。所以,保證充足的睡眠是最基本也是首要的應試技巧。

二. 營養

無庸置疑,營養的攝入在最後關頭也是異常重要的一環。在保證充分睡眠的同時,食物是另一個“工夫在詩外”的客觀因素。尤其是參加四級考試的同學,早餐一定要定時定量,不可或缺。一般來說,類似乳酪蘇這樣的奶製品外加一杯熱牛奶或者熱巧克力已經足以提供整個半天考試所需的熱量,當然,這也因人而異。有些體質虛弱的同學也可以考慮服用一些如西洋參、雞精這樣的營養品。不過,安眠藥等有副作用的藥物一定要慎用,否則過猶不及。

三. 心理

古人云,不戰而屈人之兵,很大程度上取決於心理因素。隨著四六級考試改革的深入,會有更多,更新,更難的題目,包括作文題目出現,這樣就要求我們有處驚不變的能力。即使是出現某種沒有預料到的題型,考生也應該及時調整心態、從容不迫地應答。事實上,歷史經驗證明:題目要求越是高,難度越是大,考生的發揮餘地也就越大。挑戰和機遇是成正相關的。

四. 評分

知己知彼,百戰不怠。熟悉老師的評分習慣,對於考生正常、甚至是超常發揮自身水平也十分有益。正常情況下,閱卷老師要領會貫徹考試規定的評分原則,依照文章的結構和語言水平進行評分。然而,除此以外,有“兩個基本點”我們也需要給予足夠的'重視——閃光點和語法點。在一篇出類拔萃的範文中,我們往往可以看到像提問法、諺語總結法、從句、並列句、理由段公式、理由詞彙、路線句型、插入語、名詞化、和被動語態等等閃光點;而在一篇低分例文中,基本的語言錯誤則多得數不勝數。

五. 審題

磨刀不誤砍柴工。在落筆前花兩三分鐘時間進行構思,既有利於理清行文思路、也避免了差之毫釐、失之千里的遺憾。尤其是在應對圖表類作文時,我們更是要看清圖表,牢牢把握各個資料的變化和相互關係,才能夠下筆。否則張冠李戴,即使文章本身再不同凡響、語驚四座,也只會竹籃打水、甚至起到適得其反的效果。

六. 卷面

對於像作文這樣的主觀題而言,考生與閱卷老師從來就猶如搏弈,無形中彼此互動、相互影響。一個考生可以做的,首先是通過卷面給閱卷老師下意識地傳達個人資訊。用筆的顏色、粗細,整齊劃一的格式,明瞭的段落感,清晰的字數感,工整的字跡都會給任何閱讀者留下深刻的正面印象,從而使考生先發制人、取得先機。

七. 結構

有始有終、首尾照應,是任何一篇好文章的基本標準之一,也是兩大評分原則之一。如果說廣大考生已經給第一段以足夠重視的話,那麼是不是大多數考生都意識到了理由段的條理和最後一段的呼應在全文中所具有的不可忽視的地位了呢?其實,要寫好理由段,我們只需要注意表示啟承轉合的銜接詞即可。而要寫好結尾,最好的方法莫過於溫故而知新,回顧第一段的大致內容了。

八. 表達

言之無文,行而不遠。語言作為評分原則中的基本要素之一,在四六級作文評分的整個過程中具有決定性作用。有評分老師甚至斷言:“It is not what you say, it is the way that you say it.”雖然這種說法本身似乎有失偏頗,可是參加過國際標準化英語考試的同學應該也聽說過那麼一句話,叫做:“Give the monkey exactly what he wants.”,不是嗎?譬如同樣是描述資料,一些同學拘泥於圖表本身,動輒按部就班地引用圖表上現成的數字和年代,其實這都是圖表作文的忌諱。聰明的同學引而不用,他們常喜歡用倍數、分數、小數、百分比、或者一些動詞來表現極端資料,動態資料以及他們的相異之處。

九. 檢查

行百里者半九十。一篇成功的作文少不了反覆推敲、一再修改。然而,由於考試時間和條件等諸多因素的限制,考生絕對需要慎重對待作文的檢查和修改。這裡,我不得不提考生檢查作文時的三大“通病”,即,數字數、孤芳自賞、和做結構與內容上的修改。我們必須明確:考試作文的潤色和修改只需要達到三個目的即可:1. 拼寫正確,看文章中是否有漢字、多餘符號、糊亂塗改、劃線、和錯別字;2. 搭配正確;和3. 語法正確,特別是人稱、時態、和單複數的三"一致"。

魯迅先生說過,世界上本沒有路,走的人多了也就成了路。我們要善於在學習實踐中發現、總結和運用規律,這樣才能夠在複習迎考的過程中事半功倍,百尺竿頭、更進一步。路漫漫其修遠兮,願以此文拋磚引玉。

  英語四級考試作文複習的技巧

技巧1:簡潔才是美

好的寫作,首先而且至關重要的一點就是簡潔。繁冗的寫作堆砌了許多無用的詞藻,反而減弱表述的清晰度。當然,也不能僅僅因為簡短就認為短句一定優於長句。只要一個單詞確實能起到一定的作用,它就應該留在句中。一般來說,只有在進行強調或修飾、美化句子時,才能使用重複的單詞、語音和短語。修改文章,就是要刪繁就簡。比較下面這對句子,注意體會二者的差別及效果。

1) Dr. Sun Yat-sen went to Japan by means of a big boat.

2) Dr. Sun Yat-sen went to Japan by boat.

斜體字部分較囉嗦,因為"by"就是"by means of boat"。

策略之一:用介詞短語替代從句。

例:

Wordy: While they were playing tennis, she started an argument that lasted all morning.

Better: During tennis she started an argument that lasted all morning.

Wordy: When you come to the second traffic light, turn right.

Better: At the second traffic light turn left.

2 策略之二:刪除諸如"who is”或"that is"之類的關係代詞,變從句為短語。

例:

Wordy: The novel, which is written in three parts, told a story that took place in the Middle Ages.

Better: The three-part novel told a story set in the Middle Ages.

注:把句中的”three parts”改用形容詞來表達,節省了四個不必要的單詞”which is written in”。我們經常可以將關係代詞如”that”去掉,這隻會引起最少的變動。

策略之三:剔除你不需要的單詞

"Two joint partners will present their views over a long-distance telephone call. "

寫完這樣的句子後,你自己再讀一遍,挑出單詞”joint”和”telephone”,注意刪去不必要的詞。

2 策略之四:表達否定意義時,儘量避免使用否定詞。英語中很多詞不用 "no’s" 或者"not’s"也能表達否定含義的詞彙,你儘可以採取更為委婉的表達方式。

例:

Thus college students who do not have sufficient financial backing ,

也就是 college students who lacks sufficient financial backing。

如果你不想使用太多的否定詞,就應該儘量避免使用它們。

技巧2:平行結構

相似的思想應用相似的形式表達出來。句子的成份相近,則也應以相似的形式出現。請注意以下標有"NO"的句子是不規範的。

No: The school bus skidded, turned sideways, then comes to a stop.

Yes: The school bus skidded, turned sideways, and came to a stop.

(並列時態)

No: I don’t know why I married someone who is miserly, sloppy and a bore.

Yes: I don’t know why I married someone who is miserly, sloppy and boring.

(形容詞平行結構)

Yes: In the wreck the circus lost a panda and an elephant.

(不定冠詞的平行結構)

No: I debated whether I should give the beggar money or to offer him food.

Yes: I debated whether to give the beggar money or to offer him food.

(不定式的平行結構)

No: They would lie on the battlefield for hours and sometimes days.

Yes: They would lie on the battlefield for hours and sometimes for days.

(介詞平行結構)

No: Michael’s vacuum cleaner squealed loudly, shook violently, and dust filled the air.

Yes: Michael’s vacuum cleaner squealed loudly, shook violently, and filled the air with dust.

(並列謂語)

No: The mechanic explained the problem, method, and the tools that he was going to use.

Yes: The mechanic explained the problem, method, and tools that he was going to use.

(並列帶有定冠詞"the"的名詞)

No: He retired respected by his associates, admired by his friends, and his employees loved him.

Yes: He retired respected by his associates, admired by his friends, and loved by his employees.

(並列被動語態)

No: As a young man he had been to Shanghai, fighting in the Anti-Japanese War, and following the Nationalist Party to Chongking.

Yes: As a young man he had been to Shanghai, had fought in the Anti-Japanese War and had followed the Nationalist Party to Chongking.

(並列過去完成時)

No: Jane is pretty, with brown hair, and has a graceful manner.

Yes: Jane is pretty, brown-haired, and graceful.

(形容詞平行結構)

No: He left the city because of his lack of success in business, the departure of his friends and because his health deteriorated rapidly.

Yes: He left the city because of his lack of success in business, the departure of his friends and his rapidly failing health.

(作賓語的名詞平行結構)

No: They bought the house for location and affordability.

Yes: They bought the house because of its location and its affordability.

(並列名詞;注意代詞的所有格)

No: Why did you make Xiao Zhang feel useless and as if he was unimportant?

Yes: Why did you make Xiao Zhang feel useless and unimportant?

(形容詞的平行結構)

No: This could be a problem for both the winners and for those who lose.

Yes: This could be a problem for both the winners and losers.

(名詞平行結構)

No: The prisoner was not only found guilty of bribery but also adultery.

Yes: The prisoner was found guilty not only of bribery but also of adultery.

(並列介詞短語)

為使平行結構清楚明瞭,隨時都可以重複介詞、冠詞、助動詞、不定詞標誌,或者長的短語或句子的介紹詞。
