1、CET 4 Writing写作具体要求语言第一位：表达通顺、无重大语言错误基础一般：简单原则、安全第一基础较好：句子结构、词多变结构第二位：逻辑性：并列：and/or/but因果：because/in that, since/as, for转折：but/however关联词： 内容第三位：中英思维差异 中式思维：情感分段、读者领会、迂回模式、归纳式思维英式思维：逻辑分段、作者交代、直线模式、演绎式思维 审题 1体裁（议论文，说明文，描述文） 审题就是要审作文的题材和体裁。因为什么样的体裁就会用什么样的题材去写。那么体裁包括哪那些呢？它包括议论文，说明文和描述文。从近些年看，四级作文不是单一的体
2、裁，而是几种体裁的杂合体。例如： Directions: For this part ,your 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 : 做合格大学生的必要性 做合格大学生的必备条件（可以从德智体方面谈）我计划
3、这样做很多人说这种类型的作文是议论文。这是片面的，因为，第一段要求写“.必要性”，这说明本段体裁是议论文；第二段要求写“.必备条件”，这说明本段要求写说明文；第三段要求写“.这样做”，这说明本段要求写描述文。所以在大多数情形下，四级作文是三种体裁的杂合体。 根据不同体裁确定写作方法 我们审题的目的就是根据不同体裁确定不同的写作方法。通过审题，我们可以看出四级作文大都是三段式。如上例第一段为议论体，第二段为说明体，地三段为描述体。而各种文体又不同的写作方式： 议论文；要有论点和论据，而且往往从正反两方面来论述。例如上面第一段的思路是：做合格大学生，会怎么样（这是从正面论述） ；不做合格的大学生，
4、会怎么样（从反面论述） ；所以我们要做合格的大学生（结论） 。 说明文：可以从几方面或几条来说明一个问题，就上述作文而言，可以从方面（德智体）来说明合格大学生的必要性。 描述文：以“人” 为中心描述一个“ 做”的过程。与上两段相比，本段的主语多为人称代词，它要与第二段相互应进行描述。 确定主题句 通过审题，我们知道该如何确定正确的写作思路。下边我们就谈如何写。第一步就是要写主题句。主题句是确保不跑题的前提，只有不跑题才有可能得及格分。写主题句最保险的方法就是把中文提纲的各句译成英语。例如上述三段主题句分别为： It is very necessary to be a good universi
5、ty student. （议论体的主题句）There are several respects of necessities to be a good university student .（说明体的主题句）What I will do in the future is as follows.( 描述体主题句 ) 如果要求句是英语就可以把它变成主题句，例如这样一篇作文： Good Health Importance of good health Ways to keep fitMy own practice 这样的作文的要求句就可以扩充成主题句。扩充后三段的主题句分别为： It is ver
6、y important to have good health .（将名词 importance 变成形容词important） There are four ways to keep fit according to me .（用 there be 句型） My own practices are as follows. （采用原词） 确保文章条理清楚 保证不跑题是写作当中第一任务，第二个重要任务就是要做到条理清楚。对于议论文来说，正反面要清楚，对于说明文来说条理要清楚，对于描述文来说，谁干什么要清楚。就拿上例 Good health 来说，第一段保持正反面要清楚救应这样写：正面（With
7、good health ,we can.） ，反面（Without good health ,we can do nothing .We cant do.） 为了使文章更具有条理性，我们可以用 first(ly) second(ly) third(ly)等副词，他们可以是文章的条理性更加突出。作文是主观题，想得告分就必须引起老师的注意，老师的时间很短（每篇作文只有一两分钟就要阅完） ，所以我们最好不用: To be with,. after that ,.And then, . The next , . The following , . As last . 。因为用这样的词语不利于老师看出你
8、作文的条理性。 保证作文符合字数要求的十二句作文法 考生一般都希望作文达到字数而又不至于写得太多，因为写得太多一方面暴露自己语言上的弱点，另一方面又会占用过多的时间。写得太多还易跑题，一个有效的方法就是十二句作文法。 我们知道，四级作文都是三段式。我们算一下，如果我们在每一段中写上四句，即主题句加两三句扩展句和一个结论句就可以了。这样全篇在十二句左右，每一句十多个词，就是 120-150 个字。大家可以试图找一些作文题练一练。 Some useful expressions: Problems: 一个棘手的问题 a troublesome issue 最难以处理的问题 the most int

20、hey have been widely used in many industrial and scientific fields. Others argue that the extensive use of robots may also cause troubles for our humans. In my opinion, robots can bring us both benefits and risks, depending on how we use them.To start with, robots have brought about several outstand
21、ing advantages to mankind. First, with the use of robots, people can be freed from the heavy workload required by industrial mass-production. In this way, a lot of human labor has been saved, enabling humans to devote more time and energy to some creative and challenging work. This means we may put
22、our mental capacity into full play rather than merely tiring out our physical strength. Second, robots work much faster than human beings, which have greatly enhanced working efficiency and productivity in many factories where they are actively employed. Third, robots with artificial intelligence ca

On the other hand, although human life seems far less convenient without the use of robots, the th
24、reats they tend to pose to our society, as many people have pointed out, are not groundless at all. For example, the wide application of robots may well lead to a dramatic increase in unemployment rates around the world. Human beings can hardly keep up with the pace and precision of robots and, cons
25、equently, more and more manual workers will lose their jobs to these “intelligent machines”. Furthermore, as robots are being developed to possess more sophisticated intellect, they have raised an unnerving question in many peoples minds: will they be turned into evil monsters in the hand of some wi
26、cked scientists, take over the whole world and rule humans like slaves, just as many science fictions have depicted?In conclusion, although it is quite necessary to get robots involved in industrial production, scientific researches and our modern lives, we cannot afford to neglect the potential dangers that they may produce to the world. In other words, people must be on high alert when using and dealing with robots because they are faster, physically stronger and becoming smarter and smarter than our humans.
