大学英语四级写作技巧简介

大学英语四级写作技巧简介——文章结构(2007-05-31 22:34:41) 分类：英语学习

英文写作一直是学生们的弱项，四级考试将近，大家都很担心写作问题，在此我先简单介绍一下文章的结构问题，以后再谈其他方面。

四级写作一般以三段式展开，题目要求中通常包含三个要点，每个要点为一段（记住，一定要分段），第一段提出问题，第二段分析问题，第三段解决问题。

以历年的真题为例，2006年12月的题目为Spring Festival Gala on CCTV，要求：1。许多人喜欢看春节晚会；2。但有些人提出取消春节晚会；3。我的看法。“喜欢看春节晚会”是正常现象，应该作为问题的开端进行简短介绍，“有些人提出取消春节晚会”才是重点，必须给出相应的篇幅做详细阐述。最后表明我的观点，其实就是问作者的态度及解决这个矛盾的方法。又如2006年6月的题目：An Announcement for a V oluntary Program, 要求：1。校学生会组织一次暑假志愿活动现招募志愿者；2。本次志愿活动的目的、内容及安排；3。报名条件和联系方式。这仍是三段式的结构，第一段提出问题——告之大家会举办一次暑假志愿活动，第二段描述问题——介绍志愿活动的相关信息，第三段解决问题——怎样加入志愿活动（报名信息）。往年还考过写简历，写演讲稿，论述社会现象等题目，总是跳不出三段式，因此学生们必须掌握如何写三段式作文。

总的来说有三点要注意：1。开篇就得点题。文章字数有限，必须采取开门见山的方法，但开篇点题并不是说第一段第一句话就得提出问题，在这之前可以有所修饰，有导入的成分，但不要太长，一般第三句就得清楚、突出地把问题点出来。2。中间段阐述必须清楚。中间段是全文的核心部分，要做到阐述清楚，论证充分，要有一致性、连贯性和条理性。一般由主题句和扩展句组成，主题句是观点的高度浓缩，应该言简意赅；扩展句是对主题句的详细阐述，应该做到理由充分，内容一致。3。结尾段进行总结，并提出解决问题的方法。最后的总结在观点上可以重申但不可以重复，另外结尾一定要有所升华，不能仍停留在对问题的描述上，既然存在问题，就必须想办法解决。

至于如何开端、如何论述、如何结尾的问题，大家敬请期待下一回吧！当然我不会让大家久等的:)

写作能力无法一口气提高，大家必须在平时勤修苦练。

大学英语四级写作——突出主题(2007-06-01 15:57:26) 分类：英语学习

Well begun is a half done，如何开头是值得注意的问题，它能确定你的文章给人留下的first impression。中国人喜欢先讲道理最后给出结论，而西方人习惯先下定义，再慢慢解释。按照西方人的思维方式，我们在写文章开头的时候就得突出主题，不拐弯抹角。

常见的开头的写作方法大致有下面几种：

1。引述名言谚语

eg: "Y ou have to believe in yourself. That's the secret of success." Charles Chaplin ever said. In my opinion, self-confidence is the first element on the way to your goal.

As the old saying goes:"Knowledge is power." The main way for us students to gain knowledge is from the books. So some students argue that we should read extensively...

It is well known to us all that "..."

2. 对比，比较

eg: Some people say ..., while others claim that ...

Some people believe..., but others argue that...

Old people often feel that..., but for the young, it is ....

3. 提出一个问题

eg：What constitutes enough information for the decision-maker? It's impossible to put a number on it, but...

Should the Spring Festival Gala be cancelled ? Different people have different answers.

Misunderstanding is inevitable in communications. If such misfortuns occurs, what is your response? Here are some tips for you to treat it in a proper way.

4。数据引证（一般用在看图作文中）

eg: As we can see in the charts(柱状图，圆形百分比图)，the number of Chinese people who go abroad has increased greatly between 1992 and 2002.

As is clearly shown in the charts, there is an increasing number of people who own a car during the recent three years.

The figures in this graph（曲线图）show us that...

According to the graph, we can find that...

It can be seen from the table（图表，表格）that...

5. 陈述现状

eg: With the rapid development of..., the interview is becoming more and more important in job-hunting.

Because of the development of..., great changes have occured in the educational system of China.

Nowadays mobilphone is very popular with college students.(很受学生欢迎)

In recent years cheating in CET4 still prevails among the college students. （近几年里四级考试舞弊现象在大学生中仍然很普遍。）

It is well-accepted that nowadays dishonesty is a common phenomenon in society. (人们都意识到现今社会中普遍存在不诚实的现象)

There is a heated debate over private car.

Nowadays private car aroused a lot of controversy.

偏离主题是写作中的大忌讳，它意味着考生做了30分钟的白工。为了避免这个问题我们一定要仔细省题，弄清楚考题要求是写议论文、说明文还是记叙文，然后确定文章主题和大致思路。

大学英语四级写作——主题句和扩展句(2007-06-05 10:09:26) 分类：英语学习

在明确了题目要求、确定立意后，应该根据题意构思出文章的框架结构。其中写好主题句是最关键的步骤。

论述的段落包含多个主题句。主题句（topic sentence）反映段落的中心思想，体现文章的整体结构，让读者对作者的思路一目了然。要写好主题句必须注意以下几个方面：

1。主题句必须是个完整的句子，与文章主旨密切相关。

2。主题句一般是general sentence，内容明确、具体。

3。主题句内涵要广，便于展开细节论述。

比如，写一篇论述计算器的文章，主题思想是反映计算器能帮助人们快速解决算术问题，但过分依赖计算器会对人脑有不良影响。那么主题句应该要紧扣计算器的使用利弊这个方面，

eg: Calculators can obveousely benefit us.

However, overusing calculators will also do some harm to us.

如果句子不够具体明确，段落的主题便模糊不清，在进一步阐述时会失去方向感。如：To improve English proficiency, one needs to acquire some skills. 这句话中的some skills太泛，读者弄不清到底是哪方面的技能技巧。改成：To improve reading ability, one needs to acquire some reading skills. 这样含义清楚，范围明确，便于细节描述。

而如果句子涉及的面太窄，不够general，没有进一步讨论的余地，这样的句子就不适合作主题句。如：Today more and more women are going out to work. 这句话含义非常清楚，没有进行详细阐述的必要，所以它本身只能是细节句，用来解释主题句。

主题句确定后，必须有足够的细节去支持主题句所提出的观点，给出充分、有力的论证。这就是扩展句的任务。扩展句是段落的主干部分，是对主题句的中心思想的详细解释，它的特点是：1。清晰详实；2。条理分明；3。内容一致。如：主题句为：Cellphone is one of the most popular means of communication. 那么接下来的扩展句应该要紧跟这个中心意思，有条理地进行阐述：（扩展句1）People make use of it to make an appointment, take a message for others,discuss a question and so on. （扩展局2）People even use it to have a meeting or give a notice.这两句话都说明了手机的社交功能，而且以递进的顺序排列，让读者更好地理解主题句的含义，具有说服力。

大学英语四级写作——段落的展开(2007-06-05 10:56:54) 分类：英语学习

主题句与扩展句构成段落，那么文章段落有什么样的特点呢？

1。段落一致性。

在一个段落就只有一个主题句，就是说一个段落就只能有一个中心思想，一个核心，段落中所有其他句子都要围绕这个中心展开或铺述，一切与主题句没有直接关系的句子都要舍弃掉。如：However, fake commodities are extremely harmful to consumers as well as to the whole society. First of all, fake commodities may cause losses to consumers. Meanwhile, fake commodities may harm people's health, sometimes even lives. And in the 1998 fatal alcohol poisoning case in Shanxi Province, for example, a peasant produced "alcohol", dreaming of becoming rich overnight; which, with 27 people killed and about 700 poisoned, caused great sufferings to the victims and shoked the whole country as well. Therefore, it is really high time we took action to crack down on the production and sale of fake commodities. 第一句显然是主题句，其后作者用了三个扩展句进行说明，每句话都与主题句密切相关，最后的结尾句对整段

论述做了升华。所以这一段落是符合一致性原则的。

2。段落连贯性

一个好段落在具体语言上和内容上要有连贯性，段落中的句子要符合一定的条理和逻辑顺序，句与句之间衔接要紧密，过度要自然、流畅，这样才能反映出一个清晰的思路。如：It is known to us all that modern transportation plays an important role in our life. In the past people used to suffer a great deal if they had to make a long journey or convey some heavy goods, the fact is that the transport means at that time was simple and rare. Today, various vehicles, ships and airplanes have enabled us to go wherever we like to. Not only does modern transportation bring people much convenience, but is also frees people from the hard work of conveyance. What is more important is that modern transportaion has saved much of our time so that we can do more work and learn more knowledge. 第一句话点明主题，然后通过古今对比展开论述，按时间顺序排列，条理清楚，语句连贯自然。

按逻辑顺序安排细节是使段落连贯的方法之一，常用的顺序有四种：时间顺序、空间顺序、演绎法和归纳法。演绎法是先通过主题句给出一般的总体的观点，然后给出扩展句摆具体的事实，体现了一般到具体的顺序；归纳法是先给具体事实和细节，再概括总结出其中道理、规律，体现了具体到一般的顺序。

使段落连贯的方法之二是使用适当的连接手段，一般是指关联词的使用。这个问题我下次再详许述。

大学英语四级写作——段落的连贯性(2007-06-07 15:43:06) 分类：英语学习

在确定好一条条的扩展句后，怎样把这些句子流畅而连贯地组合在一起呢？这便是关联词发挥作用的时候了。在英语中，句与句之间、段与段之间一般都有连词或关联词连接，通过这些词读者能够很清楚地明白文章前后的逻辑联系。适当使用关联词是四级写作必备的技能，大家应该要引起特别重视。常用的关联词分为四类：

1。列举类

列举法常用在议论文中，当作者提出一个论点后，可通过列举出一系列事实对其进行说明或论证。列举类关联词有：

first(ly), second(ly),... finally; for one thing, for another; on the one hand, on the other hand; moreover; furthermore; what's more; in addition; besides; first of all; in the first place, in the second place; (at)last; then; next; the last but not the least

2。举例类

举例法是用事例或数据对中心观点进行说明论证的方法，举例类关联词有：

for example; for instance; such as; like; take...for example; a case in point; namely; in other words; that is; especially; in particular

3。比较和对比

比较是把两种或两种以上的事物进行比较，以辨别出它们的相似之处；对比是将这些事物进行对照，辨别其差异而指出各自的特征和本质。这类关联词有：

but; however; yet; otherwise; while; in contrast; by contrast; on the contrary; similarly; likewise; like; conversely; rather than; instead; on the other hand; equally; nevertheless; nonetheless; unlike; still; in the same way; compared with...

4. 因果类

as a result; since; because(of); thanks to; due to; owing to; for this reason; hence; thus; therefore; on this/that account; on account of; consequently

5. 总结类

总结法是指在表达了一个观点或举了一个例子后，进行总结、给出概括，这类关联词有：in this case; according to; in a word; in brief; in short; to sum up

For each of them there are fou r choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and ma rk the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method o f answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships betwee n observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to o rganize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniq ues, and procedures for implementing the finding of science. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progr ess in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comp rehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy an d certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or disli kes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover m ay shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution.

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions .

However, some people think that too many recreational activities may have a bad effect on people’s lives. Some people may not resist some temptations and indulge themselves in those activities, such as the online games. At last they are lured away from their studies, work and interpersonal relationships. In my opinion, we should pay more attention to the advantages of various recreational activities and make the most of them to enrich our lives and broaden the scope of knowledge. When it comes to those time-consuming and less meaningful activities, I think to stay away from them is a wise decision. 2.

备考四级英语心得体会范文

备考四级英语心得体会范文备考四级英语心得体会(一)四级并不可怕,比起高考来,只是在词汇量,阅读,和写作方面有些提高,只是在大学里可能对英语学习有所放松,所以不进则退了. 关于应考有几点想说说: 误区: 1. 不做真题,只做模拟题.模拟题中错误较多,题目来源也不一定权威,有可能对备考产生负面影响,这也是师兄师姐们给我们的建议 2. 一味地背单词.很多只背单词的同学往往是复习得很累又没拿到好成绩,复习时应该针对自己的弱项重点突破,最好多做阅读及全方位的练习,在考试前把对英语熟悉的语感找回来. 3. 考试时把握不好时间.考试时间很紧,很多同学没做完,应该有计划有时间观念的做,切忌漏题,最后一道玩形填空题往往不难但很多同学都来不及做针对各个部分的复习: 1. 听力: 考前半个至一个月坚持每天听真题的磁带,特别要训练自己熟悉听写段落句子题,这题算是听力部分中最难的也是我们以前做的很少的.要听写的句子往往比较长,可以写原句也可以用自己的话写大意,要边听听写完整不太可能,建议大家着重听大意,记下关键词,听完后再按关键词补充完整 2. 阅读: 占比较大的比例,有一定难度,要注意把握速度和时间浏览问题,掌握问题信息-------通读全文---------做细节题,推论题---------做全文观点题,一般说来问题的顺序和题目答案在问中的顺序是一致的

平时练习的时候训练自己识生词的能力,对不认识的词靠上下文来识别意思,把握全文观点的能力 3. 单项选择: 复习高中时学的语法,词汇题很少,往往是历年的高频词汇反复考,推荐淘金式巧攻大学英语词汇四级分册前20单元的高频词汇总结 4. 完形填空: 先通读全文,了解大意后再仔细阅读每一小题,注意固定搭配的用法 5. 作文:很重要,6分以下的四级不能通过 ① 先理好思路再写,写个中文提纲,包括每段的大意,要条理清楚 ② 用词特别是动词要斟酌,大家都用的词你就尽量避免用,换用高级些的词汇或短语如I think, I like, very important等太俗的词汇让阅卷老师生厌 ③ 用灵活的句型体现你对语言的驾驭能力,切忌一个句型模式从开篇到结尾没有变化,多正确的使用长句,如定语从句,主语从句等 ④ 注意文章的连贯以及小词(副词)的运用几个好的句型: 开头:It goes ple..以为例,.. 第二段展开:But it is a pity that.但是很可惜. Ho my point of vie up,..总括言之,.. The result is dependent on.结果是依而定备考四级英语心得体会(二)这次我终于过了，如此的艰难，但我还是咬着牙挺过了!谢谢老师和朋友!

怎样写好大学英语四级作文-六-写好段落

怎样写好大学英语四级作文-六-写好段落首先，一个段落必须有一个中心即主题思想，该中心由主题句特别是其中的题旨来表达。整个段落必须紧扣这个主题(stick or hold to the topic)，这就是段落的统一性(unity)。其次，一个段落必须有若干推展句，使主题思想得到充分展开，从而给读者一个完整的感觉，这就是完整性(completeness or adequateness)。再者，一个段落不是杂乱无章的，而是有机的组合，句子的排列顺序必须合乎逻辑，从一个句子到另一个句子的过渡必须流畅(smooth)，这就是连贯性(coherence)。下面我们就对这三个标准分别加以说明。 1. 统一性一个段落内的各个句子必须从属于一个中心，任何游离于中心思想之外的句子都是不可取的。请看下例： Joe and I decided to take the long trip we'd always wanted across the country. We were like young kids buying our camper and stocking it with all the necessities of life. Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie. We started out in early spring from Minneapolis and headed west across the northern part of the country. We both enjoyed those people we met at the trailer park. Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner. To our surprise, we found that we liked the warm southern regions very much, and so we decided to stay here in New Mexico. 本段的主题句是段首句，controlling idea（中心思想）是take the long trip across the country。文中出现两个irrelevant sentences，一个是Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie，这一段是讲的是Joe and I ，中间出现一个Bella是不合适的。还有，Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner这一句更是与主题句不相关。考生在四级统考的作文卷上常常因为造出irrelevant sentences（不相关语句）而丢分，值得引起注意。再看一个例子： My name is Roseanna, and I like to keep physically fit. I used to weigh two hundred pounds, but I joined the YMCA for an exercise class and diet program. In one year I lost eighty pounds. I feel much better and never want to have that much weight on my five-feet frame again. I bought two new suitcases last week. Everyday I practice jogging three miles, swimming fifteen laps, lifting twenty-pound weights and playing tennis for one hour. My mother was a premature baby. 本段的controlling idea 是like to deep physically fit，但段中有两个irrelevant sentences，一个是I bought two new suitcases last week，另一个是My mother was a premature baby。从上面两个例子可以看出，native speakers同样会造出来irrelevant sentences。卷面上如果这种句子多了，造成偏题或离题，那问题就更严重了。 2．完整性正象我们前面说得那样，一个段落的主题思想靠推展句来实现，如果只有主题句而没有推展句来进一步交待和充实，就不能构成一个完整的段落。同样，虽然有推展句，但主题思想没有得到相对圆满的交待，给读者一种意犹未尽的感觉。这样的段落也不能完成其交际功能。例如： Physical work can be a useful form of therapy for a mind in turmoil. Work concentrates your thoughts on a concrete task. Besides, it is more useful to work ---- you produce
