英语写作注意事项

一.如何使句子意义明确

怎样写、写什么样的文章才能得高分呢?这是大家共同关心的问题。下面请大家注意以下几个句子:

(1)I get up early,study hard and go to bed late.我早起晚睡,努力学习。

(2)Everything was over.I put my heart into my stomach.一切都结束了。我放心了。

(3)You must make a choice,because you can't eat fish and bear's paw at the same time.你必须做出选择,因为鱼与熊掌不可兼得。

这几个句子都是同学们平时写作练习中出现过的,信手拈来与大家共同探讨。虽然句子结构本身没有毛病,但是属于坏句子。为什么呢?先说句(1),它给人造成的印象很模糊,

泛泛而谈,空洞无物。How early? How late?How hard?没有交代清楚。这就涉及到写单句(非简单句)的一条原则:具体的原则。能给人留下深刻印象的东西往往是具体的事物,比如说某人想家时会想念家乡的“一草一木”。这“一草一木”就是家乡的“一切的一切”的具体化。同样,要形象地说明自己起早贪黑,刻苦学习的情形,就不能仅仅用两个无法限定准确时间的副词 early和late及无法限定准确程度的副词hard来表示。经提示后,该学生将句(1)改成了:I get up early in the morning,study 8 hours and go to bed late at night。还是不太理想。他想了想再改成:I get up at 5:50 in the morning,study earnestly 8 hours all day and go to bed at 11:00。这样就好多了。

句(2)和句(3)的问题是非英语(Non-English),也就是说这种说法在英语中不存在。由于许多同学写作时往往是用汉语打腹稿,然后逐句译成英语,所以这种“汉化英语”为数不少。解决的办法就是加强词汇积累,同时注意培养英语思维习惯。日积月累,能够改观。

二.句型的灵活运用

句子提倡简炼,但不是说都用简单句。简单句的堆彻实际上是语言技巧不成熟、不老练,甚至语言水平低下的表现。在某种意义上来说,在词数相同的作文中,语言水平越高,语言技巧越熟练,句子的数目也就越少。这就意味着句子长了,句子结构复杂了。

反对过多地使用简单句并不是鼓励刻意追求长句、复杂句。我们追求的是句子结构的多变。一篇文章能根据表达的内容使用不同的句子结构,会产生较好的艺术效果。

例子1

The Career I Pursue的主体段:

A variety of reasons have led me to choose this occupation over other more lucrative ones. First, teaching is learning. To make my lectures more interesting, I have to read more books, explore new knowledge and gain a better understanding of the world-the very thing I like to do in my life. Second, teaching means freedom. As a teacher, I can freely express my opinions and explain them in my own way since nobody will interfere with

me. Finally, I like teaching because it

offers a certain peace of mind. No more rushing to catching a morning bus, no more anxiety to please a boss, and no more

worries about being laid off because you are getting old.

文中有4个词的短句:First, teaching is learning. 也有27个词的长句:To make my lectures more interesting, I have to read more books, explore new knowledge and gain a better understanding of the world-the very thing I

like to do in my life. 有简单句,也有复杂句:As a teacher, I can freely express my opinions and explain them in my own way since nobody will interfere with me; 还有同位语句,断裂句,排比句,比较句等,因而文章读起来节奏感强。所谓句子变化,主要是指句子的开头要有变化,句子的结构要有变化,句子的长度要有变化。不要连续使用几个简单句,要学会使用复杂句。

例子2

a) Teenagers are pressured by school work.

They are

also encouraged by their peers. Under such circumstances, they resort to smoking. But sometimes

they feel a little guilty.

b) Pressured by school work and encouraged by their

peers, teenagers often resort to smoking, tough

they feel a little guilty sometimes.

不要总是以有生命的名词和人称代词开头(受汉语表达习惯的影响,不少考生都喜欢以I,People,We等开头)。

例子3

a) Many people think birth control is quite necessary

in China.

b) It is widely/commonly

thought/believed/held/accepted

that birth control is quite necessary in China.

a) More and more people agree (realize/are aware)

that women should enjoy full equality with men.

b) There is a growing agreement

(realization/awareness)

that women should enjoy full equality with men.

a) Many Chinese people have gone to the United

States in the past 15 years.

b) The past 15 years have brought many Chinese

people to the United States.

a) We almost forget this event.

b) This event is now almost fading from our memory.

三.大学英语作文中的问题

作文不理想的原因很多,总的看来主要有以下几个方面的问题:

第一、英语底子太薄。底子太薄主要表现为对语法知识掌握不牢及对基本词汇记忆不清。它包括定冠词和不定冠词的滥用,主谓不一致,单复数搞不清楚(例如:a people等),时态和语态混乱及词语的各种形式掌握不牢。有的学生文章写得很长,字迹也很工整,但是读完之后只觉得思路紊乱,支离破碎,没有一个完整的句子,所以也就只能得两三分以慰劳苦。

第二、词汇量太小,且对已学词汇记忆不清。除了底子太薄这个历史原因之外,学生词汇量太小也是一个不容忽视的原因。有的学生汉语功底很好,用汉语作文,他们就会思如泉涌,下笔千言,但是一到用英语作文就好像被缚住了手脚,不知如何下手。比如99年1月的作文,题目是"Don't Hesitate to Say No", 大部分学生能够领会题意并能按给出的汉语提纲作文,但有的学生连Hesitate是什么意思都不知道,更不用说在此基础上再作发挥了。另外有的学生虽然对题目及要求非常清楚,但是因为自己所掌握的词汇所限,无法用一些合适的词来表达自己的思想,于是只有绕着

题目翻来覆去乱说一气,再加上这次出的作文提纲就象一道绕口令:

1、别人请求帮助时,在什么情况下我们会说“不”;

2、为什么有些人在该说“不”的时候不说“不”;

3、该说“不”时不说“不”的坏处。

所以在说过一个又一个的"No"再加几个"Yes"之后,阅卷老师也给搞得云里雾里,头脑发胀,最后也只得酌情给个两三分罢了。还有的一写到纸上就是错字别字满篇,有些词汇的用法也走了样。其中最典型的就是for example 写成example for , for instance写成for a instance, illegal 写成unlegle, 而such as, in spite of 等许多短语则是乱用一气。词汇的有限导致许多学生有口难言,欲说不能,对他们来说,用英语作文实在是一件很头疼的事情。第三、缺乏思想,深度不够。99年1月的考试中很大一部分学生不能得高分还有一个重要的原因,就是他们的作文缺乏思想,深度不够。很多学生虽然已是大二的学生,甚至是大三大四的学生,但是他们在作文当中所表现出的智力水平与阅历似乎只相当于一个初高中生。写出的文章着眼点低,视野狭窄。作为学生,作文着眼于学生之间的关系,反映学生之间的帮忙,这并不为过,但是这种帮忙不能仅仅限于在考试当中的帮忙,而且对这种帮忙都是一句话"Don't

hesitate to say 'No'"。更有相当一部分学生在文章中写帮忙就是这一次四级考试当中的帮忙。与在校考生比较起来,社会考生应该多了许多社会阅历,也多了一些见解,但是举出来的例子也是范围太窄,大多是讲老板或领导让干的事只能答"Yes"而不能回答"No"。其实除了这些,可举的例子很多,关键是要抓住实质。

第四、缺乏应试技巧。缺乏应试技巧,主要表现为有些学生在篇首或篇尾有喊口号倾向(如Dear Friends, let's not hesitate to say"No"),或画蛇添足,本来文章该结束

了却偏要罗罗嗦嗦再来两句多余的话;另外一些学生字数把握不准,不是写得太短就是写得太长,写得太短的会因为字数不够而失分,太长的又因为阅卷老师任务繁重,时间窘迫,不能因为一篇文章乱了整个阅卷节奏。还有一些学生的笔迹(尤其是用纯蓝墨水钢笔和出水太浅的圆珠笔写的),让阅卷老师怎么也看不清楚。

以上是四级英语考试中常见的几个问题,更是我们平时英语作文当中应该注意的几个方面。要写好一篇英语文章,关键要在平时下功夫,打好牢固的基础。

四.考试英语作文的误区

误区Ⅰ使用句型太复杂以致出错

小作文的写作强调的是内容连贯,句子通顺,语言流畅,并且句子与句子之间能够用恰当的关联词衔接起来,并不要求写出多复杂的句子。但有些考生理解为只有句子长了,所用的从句多了才更纯正,所以使用各种从句分词等,致使文章言不达意,错误百出,效果适得其反。

误区Ⅱ加入太多的想象成分,使内容细节过多,文章冗长。

学生在写作中的一大担心就是文章的长度不够,再加上对于“可适当增减细节,不可字对字的翻译”的误解,于是加入了很多离题较远的细节,乱了主题。不可字对字其实只要求学生不可简单照译,并非不可翻译。学生只要在理解写作要求的基础上以翻译为主,在要点之间加上简练恰当与必要的关联词和关联句即可。翻译要点可直译也可意译,但要恰当准确,用已学过的词语与句型,切不可生搬硬造。

误区Ⅲ书写不规范造成大量失分。

由于该卷的主观性,作文的卷面分往往不只1、2分。因此写作的规范与书法非常重要,甚至所用墨水的颜色也应列入考虑之列,比如,浅色的墨水或油笔写出的字就显得乱,

而深色的如碳素墨水则给人以整齐美观的印象。这里介绍几个应注意的地方。

1.好的开头和结尾。

由于评卷人的主观性,好的开头与结尾往往给人以好的印象。一般开头不要写得太罗嗦,要找着恰当的切入点,快速入题,简洁明快。结尾同样不拖泥带水,最好还能适当评论,写出点睛之笔。

2.用好关联词。

在写作的过程中,以下关联词的应用非常关键。比如,表并列的and,besides,as well as,in addition to,not only…but also,when,表递进的furthermore,what's more,what's worse,表转折的but,while,on the contrary,on the other hand,however,表选择的either…or…,whether…or…,otherwise等。有了这些词的连接,就会使文章变得语句通顺,层次清楚,有声有色,考生勿需用很多的复合句也能让评卷人感觉到你的水平不同一般。

3.用好标点符号、大小写,安排好段落。

如果是汉语作文,学生大多注意标点符号,但写英语时一些考生就不够认真。一篇文章下来一逗到底,没有标点的

变化,没有大小写,没有段落划分(一般以两段为宜),让人一看就烦,更不要说得到好的分数。

4.用好情感词语。

任何文章都有自己的观点,英语小作文也不例外。考生应注意用一些能反映自己观点的词,否则文章就很干瘪,没有韵味。没有人愿意读没有感情的作文。

5.书写清楚,整洁,规范。

五.写作练习技巧

英文写作是大学生在英语考试中最薄弱的一环。许多同学花了大量的时间和精力,却很难在这一项上有所突破。可以说,在写作上的练习是一项投入产出比较低的工作。事实上,写作也有一定的技巧,这些技巧不被人所注意,原因在于:写作的技巧很大程度上不能从分析考试题目本身来得出,需要通过对大量英文文章的学习和总结得来,即功夫在题外。英语写作中有几点心得。

1.要善于模仿

对大多数学习英语的同学来说,英语的词汇量、句式的积累还极其有限,远不能达到用英文流畅表达,挥洒自如的境地。在这一阶段进行创作是不合时宜的,如果非要创造,只能写出“long time no see”这样的文字来。因此,模仿是这一阶段的必经途径。

谈到模仿,一些同学的办法就是背一堆范文,然后再到考场上进行一个“剪切”、“粘贴”的工作,效果可想而知。这不是真正意义上的模仿,充其量算是默写课文。如何模仿呢?

首先,模仿的目标要明确。模仿的重点永远要放在一定的句式结构上,而非个别的词汇。道理很简单:一个词,随着文章内容的变换,可能就不能用了;而句式结构是放置四海而皆准的东西,适用的范围广,学来对写作的帮助也就明显。

其次,模仿的材料要地道。像教材就提供了很多原汁原味的英语表达法。盲目选择文章学习,记一些不中不洋的句子,以讹传讹,浪费时间。

最后,模仿要体现在实际动笔上。比如说,有一个句式:“…for the simple reason that…”表示某种现象的原因是什么,用在大学英语考试中,我们就可以拿来解释为什么

自行车在中国如此的流行,表达为:“The bicycle is very popular i n China for the simple reason that…”。然而,很多同学经常背了这些句式不用,一谈到原因仍然是“…because…”,等等。

2.要细心观察

要写好英语作文,还要带着敏锐的目光细心地观察,注意英语中一些表达上的习惯。

比如说,在正式文体的写作中,很少用“it isn"t”这样的略缩形式,而往往是一板一眼地写作“it is not”。

许多同学在写作文时,习惯于把“since” “because” “for”这样的词放在句首引导原因状语从句。事实上,在我们见到的英语报刊杂志文章中,这样的从句一般都是放在主句之后的。另外, “and”也常常被误放在一句话的开头,表示两个句子之间的并列或递进关系。其实,经常留心地道的英语文章能发现,如果是并列关系,完全可以不用连词;如果是递进关系,用“furthermore” “what is more”更为普遍。

3.要心有全局

英文写作十分强调形式上的严谨性,特别是全局的丝丝入扣。如果写作时结构意识良好,应试写作就简化成为一个填空的过程了。框架万变不离其宗,适当地填入观点、素材,文章就自然而然地立起来了。

掌握了这些英文写作中的练习技巧,会使提高英文写作水平的努力有更大的收益。

六.考试作文技巧

考试写作的评分依据是:文章切切题,条理清楚,语言准确和字数符合要求。所谓切题就是看你写的作文跑不跑题。所谓条理是每一段的议论的正反清楚,描述的时间正确。语言准确要求作文的语法词汇使用正确,符合英语表达习惯。四级作文的字数要求不少于100字。针对四级考试的作文要求我们提出十二句作文法,这里所说的十二句作文法不仅包括一般英文写作的方法而且包括一套行之有效的写作

方法。它的具体内容有以下几点。

1.审题

我们拿到作文后第一件要做的事就是审题。审题的作用在于使你写作不跑题(如果跑题,条理和语言再好,也得不到及格分,甚至0分。)那末审题要审什么呢?

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。因为什末样的体裁就会用什末样的题材去写。那末体裁包括那些呢?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;

儿地三段要求写“...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。

2.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,会怎样(这是从正面论述);不能做合格的大学生,会怎么样(从反面论述);所以我们要做合格的大学生(结伦)。

说明文:可以从几方面或几条来说明一个问题,就上作文而言,可以从方面(德智体)来说明合格大学生的必要性。

描述文:一“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,他要与第二段相互应进行描述。

3.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。下边我们就谈如何些。第一部就是要写主题句。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 university 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 the following .(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 fit

My 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 very important to have good health .(将名词 importance变成形容词important)

There are four ways to keep fit for me .(用 there

be 句型)

My own practices are the following .(采用原词)4.确保文章条理清楚

保证不跑提示写作当中第一任务,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 good health ,we can...),反面(Without good health ,we can do nothing .We can’t 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例性更加突出。

5.保证作文符合字数要求的十二句作文法

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,就又120-150个字。大家可以试图找一些作文题练一练。

英语作文 知识还是创造力重要

Which should be emphasized: knowledge or creativity? Knowledge or creativity, which is primary? So many people have asked the question. According to a recently survey, mere 55% parents think essential knowledge is more important for their children. They point that knowledge is the basic of everything, without which it’s utterly impossible to develop one’s creativity. Besides that, the relationship of knowledge and creativity is input and output. Last but not least, focusing on the basic will make you patient, make you dig out the essential part of things. But opposed to the parents, 85% educators are for that creativity play a vital role in the socialization of children. Frankly, I agree with them more. The fact that we face demand us to emphasize the creativity. Date back to the past, our ancestors made many wonderful achievements. They discovered some math theories hundreds years before western scientists. The reason why we lag behind today lies in we lack of the creativity today. In schools, students are stuffed with piles of knowledge under the pressure of fierce competition. Many young people lose their chances to enter college just because of one early failure in a stupid examination. But practically speaking, how can they show their true abilities? Creativity is the key to a brighter future. Fortunately we have learned the point, and many workable reforms are being carried out. In most schools, students are actively involved in the class activities. For sake of the Chinese children, Creativity is in need.

科技英语写作注意事项

科技英语写作注意事项 一、文体特点 清晰、准确、精练、严密 1、避免主观渲染,少用带感情色彩的词汇和修辞手段,做到说理叙事清楚明白,用词造句简洁准确,并尽量使用行话,使文章读起来有科技文章的韵味。 2、文章中结论性的表述,必须经过可靠实验性的验证,否则少用肯定性的语言。 二、语言结构特色 1、大量的名词化结构 因为科技问题要求行文简洁、表达客观、内容确切、信息量大;强调存在的事实,而非某一行为。 例:Archimedes first discovered the principle that water is displaced by solid bodies. Archimedes first discovered the principle of displacement of water by solid bodies. 第二句中of displacement of water by solid bodies系名词化结构,一方面简化了同位语从句,另一方面强调displacement这一事实。 由于科技英语所表达的是客观规律,因之尽量避免使用第一、二人称;此外,为使主要信息置于句首。 例:If you use firebricks round the walls of the boiler, the heat loss can be considerably reduced. The heat loss can be considerably reduced by the use of firebricks round the walls of the boiler. 2、广泛使用被动语句 英国利兹大学John Swales统计,科技英语中的谓语至少1/3是被动态。(同上) 3、非限定动词 科技文章要求行文简练、结构紧凑,因此往往使用分词短语代替定语从句或状语从句;使用分词独立结构代替状语从句或并列从句;使用不定式短语代替各种从句;介词+动名词短语代替定语从句或状语从句。这样,即可缩短句子,又比较醒目。 例:Materials which are used for structural purposes are chosen so that they behave elastically in the environmental conditions. Materials to be used for structural purposes are chosen so as to behave elastically in the environmental conditions.

英语写作注意事项

英语写作注意事项 一.如何使句子意义明确 怎样写、写什么样的文章才能得高分呢?这是大家共同关心的问题。下面请大家注意以下几个句子: (1)I get up early,study hard and go to bed late.我早起晚睡,努力学习。 (2)Everything was over.I put my heart into my stomach.一切都结束了。我放心了。 (3)You must make a choice,because you can't eat fish and bear's paw at the same time.你必须做出选择,因为鱼与熊掌不可兼得。 这几个句子都是同学们平时写作练习中出现过的,信手拈来与大家共同探讨。虽然句子结构本身没有毛病,但是属于坏句子。为什么呢?先说句(1),它给人造成的印象很模糊,

泛泛而谈,空洞无物。How early? How late?How hard?没有交代清楚。这就涉及到写单句(非简单句)的一条原则:具体的原则。能给人留下深刻印象的东西往往是具体的事物,比如说某人想家时会想念家乡的“一草一木”。这“一草一木”就是家乡的“一切的一切”的具体化。同样,要形象地说明自己起早贪黑,刻苦学习的情形,就不能仅仅用两个无法限定准确时间的副词 early和late及无法限定准确程度的副词hard来表示。经提示后,该学生将句(1)改成了:I get up early in the morning,study 8 hours and go to bed late at night。还是不太理想。他想了想再改成:I get up at 5:50 in the morning,study earnestly 8 hours all day and go to bed at 11:00。这样就好多了。 句(2)和句(3)的问题是非英语(Non-English),也就是说这种说法在英语中不存在。由于许多同学写作时往往是用汉语打腹稿,然后逐句译成英语,所以这种“汉化英语”为数不少。解决的办法就是加强词汇积累,同时注意培养英语思维习惯。日积月累,能够改观。 二.句型的灵活运用

英语作文常见问题&注意事项

我总结了同学们这学期作文中出现比较多的问题,整理给大家借鉴: (给大家列的这些问题和建议,希望大家考试前仔细看看,考场上下笔写作文前,在脑子里再过一遍我提到的那些常见错误,题型自己要避免那些不必要的错误。) 1.随意改变时态,比如: I hope my dream house is located by a lake. It had two floors. The first floor has three bedrooms. 一般来讲,一篇文章有一个主要的时态,偶尔的时态变化一定要根据情况写,千万别随心所欲地改变时态。 2.单复数混乱 1)There are many thing we can buy from the Internet. be动词用了are,还有many,怎么还能用thing呢?应该是things 类似的还有all thing的表达,也是丢了thing后的-s。 一定要注意名词单复数问题,形式要保持一致,不要出现了two, three,many等表示有多个数量的词,名词却用了单数。反之亦然。不要出现One rooms is used as my study. 2)A large amount of commodities can be got by online-shopping. A large amount of后面要接不可数名词,表示“大量的”,而commodity是可数的,故应该换成a large number of commodities。 修饰可数和不可数名词的一些数量词要分清,别乱用。 3.随便改变人称 1) 一二三人称随意写,根部不管逻辑。这个尤其在大家写到“建议”、“看法”部分时,一会we,一会儿you,人称很混乱,要注意保持一致。如: Parents should help their children to be independent. Y ou should leave your children chances to make decisions by themselves. 前一句还是their,第二句就成了you,这样不合理。要么始终是第三人称,都用they,their,要么就始终用第二人称,you/your children。 大家的作文中这种错误比较普遍,写作时,一定要记得人称上保持一致。 2)另外一个人称上的错误是人称代词的单复数混乱。如: Everybody looks for satisfaction in his life. They want to be happy. But if he seeks only pleasure in the short run, the person will soon run out of pleasure. 第一句是everybody,表明是单数,第二句却用了they,这是人称代词使用不当。

知识就是力量英语作文

The saying “Knowledge is power” has been well known for hundreds of years, while Bacon was meaning that “Do you want power? Then learn knowledge.” What is knowledge? Knowledge is everything that is known by man through his long experience in the world. Knowledge is the inheritance and development of all the wisdom of the history. The great role of knowledge have shown ever since man appeared on the earth and every period of social development. Nowadays it is a popular view that the prosperity of the country rely on the people's cultural knowledge level of the country. I think this view is reasonable. There are many examples in the history. The government of the Qing Dynasty implemented the seclusion policy, which had brought about serious consequences. In?comparison, the Tang Dynasty had adopted enlightened policies at that time, while culture and science was widespread in the country. As a result, the Tang Dynasty become the most powerful country in the world and the Qing government fell down quickly. The prosperity of a country can't be separate from the knowledge. With the development of our economy, the importance of knowledge is more and more obvious ,especially scientific and technological knowledge. Science and technology are the motive power of the social development. For example, in ancient times thunder and the other natural phenomena have been regarded as acts of god. If there happened to be a drought in the area, what the ancient people can do is praying for god's help. However, now we have the scientific knowledge. With the artificial rainfall approach, crops can be grown still good even in case of severe drought. Man can conquer nature with the knowledge. For thousands of years, human beings have been using their knowledge to improve their life

英语写作(一) 期末考试试题及参考答案

英语写作试题(一) I. Supply the missing paragraph (20 points) The following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words. Make sure that your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided. Attaining Success in College Succeeding in college is not only important to getting and education, but also crucial in this day and age to success in the work place. To me, the three most important things for attaining a successful college experience are having smart classroom conduct, taking advantage of campus resources, and making college the first priority. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Making good use of campus resources is also of great importance to college success. The school library has many resources for the growth of the students’ mind. With computers and copy-machines for individual use, computer labs and writing labs are there not just for learning purposes but also for actual help with writing papers. The “office hours” will help the students build a close relationship with their professors and give them access to the professors’ mind. From the professors the students can acquire possible extra information that may put them ahead of their study. All these resources are free, since they are funded by student tuitions. So taking good advantage of the resources can only make the students’ education more attainable. Finally, any students who want to assure success must establish school as the top priority. Personally I have watched some students slowly loosen up; I have seen a pattern of partying and a lack of motivation. Many of the freshmen have no idea why they are in college, and their “eyes” often tell it all. This world is so rich in distractions that it is hard to keep a strong focus, especially if one is just starting his or her academic career. It is said that the first semester is often the most “unsuccessful” one. This certainly rings true for me. I made mistakes in this regard and eventually learned that, to achieve success, school must always be placed above other things. In my college experience, I have observed and learned how to achieve success. I wish someone had told me earlier the importance of having that smart classroom conduct, of fully utilizing the school resources, and of making college my top priority. Then, my college beginnings would not have been so rocky and tough. II. Write an outline (20 points) Read the following passage carefully and compose a “topic outline” for it. Smell Smell, as a means of nonverbal communication, is important. Odor communicates not only when we are face to face with another person, but also when the other personis not present. People from different cultures may have different attitudes toward body odors. Most people in the West respond negatively to what they consider bad odors such as body odor, breath odor, or

英语作文应注意的事项

英语作文应注意的事项? 1、大多数是以“看”、“读”为主。其中以图提供情景的作文以“看”为主,通过过细心观察图中的人物、景物、文字、数字等,弄清写作的意图,通过分析思考把握逻辑联系,找出主题并借助所给的文字,把图中的信息转化成文章,要表达出提供情景的意图和内涵,即“文在图上、意在画外”,触景生情,文章才能有灵魂;而“读”则是用在以图表提供情景为主的作文,要读懂图表中的数据、时间、编码以及相互间的变化关系,对所给的信息加以分析、推断、概括、去粗取精;在写作时目的要明确,要注意内容的准确性和严肃性,尤其是图表中的数据、时间等不得有误。 2、书信格式的作文,主要了解书信的格式,英文书信格式与中文有所不同,1)、一般在信纸的右上角写上写信人的地址和日期,地址应按从小到大的顺序排列; 2)、左边顶格写上收信人的姓名; 3)、正文部分; 4)、祝愿的话; 5)、写信人签名。信的内容一定要按所给的要求写,不要漏写。如果要求你的信件用E-mail发送,请务必注意,对方的网址一定要写准确,多一点或少一点都不能发送成功,可谓“差之毫厘,失之千里”。 3、以提纲提供情景的作文。这种形式本身的要点已

经很明确,重点也很突出,只要把各个提纲加以发挥,注意遣词造句的灵活性和语法规则的正确性,就不会造成审题不清而偏离主题,但要注意,文章必须覆盖所提供的各个提纲的要点。注意事项用英文写作不同于用母语那样得心应手,常常会受到生词、语法、惯用法的限制,只要同学们平时注意两种语言的异同性,抓住写作要点,也可妙笔生花。1、为了保证文章层次分明、条理清楚,要把时间固定下来,如:记叙一件事要用过去时;写经常发生的事或对人物的描写,要用一般现在时。整个文章中的人称要一致,首尾呼应,不要随意改动,以免造成误解。2、不要为了追求“一鸣惊人”而不愿使用熟悉的常用词,去找一些生冷的词汇,对这些一知半解的词你不会用,不知道如何搭配,结果适得其反,使文章显的生硬、不协调,甚至错误百出,所以要实事求是地把握,避免不必要的失分。3、注意不同语言的表达习惯,也是写好英语作文的重要环节,如“我的理想是做一名建筑师”,很多同学写成“My ambition is to do/make an architect”,“to do”表示“做”或者“干”,“to make”表示“制作”,而“做一名建筑师”则表示“成为一名建筑师”应该用“be/become an architect ”;又如“看书、看报”应用“read a book/newspaper”,而不是
