42、教学大纲和大学英语课程教学基本要求都对培养学生的英语写作能力做了明确规定,即学生能在半小时内完成 120 字左右的短文,包括书信等应用问题写作,要求文理基本通顺,表达思想清楚,无重大语法错误。通过分析历年的真题,我们不难发现:英语作文考查的类型基本包括议论文(一般为三段论式的论说文字),说明文( 目前侧重于这方面的写作训练),图表作文( 要求描述性的语言要贴近图表信息,真实反映语言水平)和应用文写作(包括书信、便条、通知、海报等) 。 二.四级改革和写作变化 54yjs.c2005 年 1 月的作文题目是要求学生以导游的身份写一篇演讲稿,不仅包含欢迎辞(表态)行程安排,( 说明),而且包含安排
43、的理由(说理) 。2005 年 6 月作文题目是校园文化旅游,要求学生就此阐述不同的观点。2006 年 1 月是个竞选演说,如果我当选学生会主席,我会给大家做点什么事情(说明) 。2006 年 6 月 17 日的四级考试则是一个海报,要求考生构想一个招募志愿者的海报,其中包括应聘人必备的资历和应准备的材料等(说明)。2006 年 6 月 24 日新题型的作文是传统的议论文形式,讨论大学生选择任课老师相关的问题。2007 年 1 月作文也是传统的议论文形式,探讨对春节晚会所持的不同观点。2007年 6 月份是欢迎同学加入俱乐部的海报( 应用文)。 从上面的题目变化趋势看,描述现象、分析原因、个人
44、看法仍是四、六级考试写作部分主要考查的重点,在今后相当长的时间内,英语写作教学和辅导的主要突破口应集中在说明文、议论文和应用文上。 此外,仔细研究 06 年 6 月 24 日以后的四级试卷,我们还可发现,新四级的写作题目与校园生活密切相关,学生普遍感觉亲切,体裁包括两篇议论文,一篇应用文。不仅如此,新四级写作题中提供的文章框架清晰,思路比较明确,绝大多数考生都能利用“经典句型”或“万能模板”写出及格的作文。尽管新四级前两次都考查了议论文,但这并不能说明写作的重心有任何偏移。根据考试改革方案和课程教学要求的相关规定,应用文写作、说明文和议论文仍将是新四级作文的主攻方向。 三.四级写作高分策略 新
45、四级考试并没有改变对写作的测试标准和要求,但在出题顺序上却做了明显的调整:写作作为第一项考查的内容,被提到新四级试卷的最开头,这令许多考生感觉不适应,部分网友甚至认为这是在折腾考生。其实,提高写作能力虽然较难,但写作教学却是一片大有可为的沃土。在过去十多年的英语写作辅导中,笔者坚持认为:考生如果坚持做到如下几点,就不难在规定的时间内写出一篇成功的英语作文。 1. 了解英语写作的测试目的,准确把握题目的要求 英语写作测试,其实主要还是要考查学生组织英语语言的能力,和用英语表达思想的能力,体裁不外乎议论文,说明文和应用文,主题也是在大学生熟知话题基础上的翻新或扩展。 综观历年的四级作文真题,变
46、化趋势是从三段论的议论文向实用性更强的应用文体,尤其是书信写作方面倾斜。考生平时应有意识地就他们感兴趣的一些话题进行思考和拓展,争取在实践中磨练敏锐的审题能力。 2. 迅速梳理写作的思路,列出并借助提纲进行写作 到了大学阶段,学生还是非常善于思考的,他们不仅想象力非常丰富,晚上做梦,还经常 daydream, 各有独特的思维和写作思路。但是,如何将千头万绪的思路梳理清楚,学生则必须有真工夫。为此,在进行四级写作时,考生一定要首先形成自己的观点,之后合理运用一些手段,如常用的有四种:陈述理由、举例说明、提供数据、下定义等,之后充分就此展开论说。这样通过高效思考,严密组织,再辅以提纲形式的文章架构
47、,考生一定会写出较符合规范的文章。 3. 扩展写作提纲,草拟文稿,表述主要观点 在利用提纲展示个人写作思路的基础上,学生还应充分利用现有的英语水平,按照一定的逻辑思路,充分表达个人的观点。写作之初,学生不必字斟句酌,只要脉络清楚,具备轮廓就可以了。草拟文章的过程实际是把思维结果外在化的过程,学生应力争使文章具有连贯性和流畅性。草拟过程的顺利与否,在很大程度上取决于平时训练所达到的水平。许多考生畏惧作文,经常懒于动笔;还有一些考生认为写作很难提高,干脆放弃平时的训练。这些想法都是错误的。为真正提高写作水平,笔者建议大家从开始准备四级的那天起,就应有针对性地分体裁、分话题、分阶段地进行实战模拟,强
48、迫自己一气呵成将文章写完,不必追求完美,不必在乎自己的文稿到底语言有多么不地道或出现多少语法错误。熟能生巧。只要坚持多写、多练,平时注意扩大阅读,写作的水平自然就会提高。 4.在反复揣摩的基础上,完善文章的草稿 自己修改作文是个好习惯,从训练之初就应注重在这个方面下功夫。修改作文必须从下面几个方面把握:注意句式结构的变化(要背诵一定的经典句型,而且要能够注意套改这样的优美句型)。例如:Not because I love Caesar less, but because I love Rome more(不是我不爱凯撒,而是我更爱罗马)。需要指出的是,虽然习作中应注意使用优美或地道的句子,但不
49、可简单地堆砌;句子长短也要错落有致,应包含一些相对复杂的句式,同时避免犯一些基础性的语言错误。 另外,学生还要注意文中运用的英语表达必须是简单且地道的(即 easy but right English)。实际上,所谓这类的表达法界于词汇与句子之间,可称为语汇(英语中可用chunk 来表达) 。为了提高书面语言表达的地道性,学生应经常记忆这样的语汇,如 an effective system for environmental protection 和 an effective system to protect the environment 等。笔者在此处提出这个概念,且希望同学们加强这方面语汇的记忆,是因为太多的中国考生经常使用汉语的语法、英语的单词来组合一些中式(chinglish)表达。例如:高手(high hand)地道的英语表达是 master hand; 老手(old hand)地道的英语表达则是 seasoned hand;能手(can hand)的地道表达则是 skillful hand, 以及 you go
