四级考试即将到来,对于已报考9月份考试的同学来说,我们需要掌握正确的复习方法。四级考试分为写作、听力、阅读和翻译四个模块,对于很多同学来说,作文是大家感到比较难的一个模块,今天知识兔来教大家几招写作文的技巧。
首先我们需要了解四级写作常考话题。近几年来四级写作常考话题主要为两类:校园类和社会类。校园话题含绿色校园、选修课、社团活动等;社会话题为博物馆、环境、娱乐活动等。
其次我们需要了解四级写作高分标准:切题,表达思想清楚,文字通顺、连贯,基本无语言错误。
对于四级写作来说,语言需要放在第一位,四级写作重点考查考生的英语表达能力。阅卷老师最重视的是语言,考生最需要提高的也是语言。有的同学以为使用一些高难词汇就能取得高分,其实不然。中英文写作都讲究“简洁就是美”,语言的好坏不在词藻的华丽与否,而在于使用得是否得当。当然基础较好的同学,恰当使用高难词汇有助于提高分数。但是不要盲目追求难度,与其写一个错误的复杂句,不如写一个正确的简单句。
那么我们如何增加语言的多样性,提高写作技巧呢?以下给大家分享几条写作高分技巧。
使用短语,有两个好处:一是用短语会使文章增加亮点,如果老师们看到你的文章有亮点精彩的短语,定会给高分了。二是关键时刻思维短路,只有凑字数,怎么办?用短语是一个办法!比如:It is important to do.... 可以用短语表达:It is of vital importance to do...这样字数明显增加,表达也更准确。
写作一定要用一些常见的固定表达,增加文章的连续性和文采,使文章的结构更加紧凑。比如:there is no doubt that...(毫无疑问),when it comes to...(当谈到……),it is universally acknowledged that....(众所周知),instead of“而不是”等。
我们在进行公共演讲或正式场合讲话时一般都会条理清楚。考官们看文章也必然要通过这些关键性的“标签”来判定你的文章是否结构清楚,条理自然。一般四级的作文为议论文题材,在进行论述时,需要至少用2-3个论点支撑,那么建议大家在论点前面最好用下面的词来连接,使用时要按组选择。
1)first, second, third, last
2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally
3)the first, the second, the third, the last
4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly
5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally
6)to start with, next, in addition, finally
7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least
8)most important of all, moreover, finally
9)on the one hand, on the other hand
10)for one thing, for another thing
1)并列。前后的句子属于先后关系或者并列关系时,建议用并列连词连接两句话。比如说:I enjoy music and I sing a song every day. 我们可以用一个超级句式:Not only do I enjoy music but also I sing a song every day. 其它的短语可以用:besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover等。
2)转折。比如The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition. Despite the fact that she is not rich,she studies quite hard.更多的短语:still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding
3)因果。比如The class is over,so we go home. 更多短语:then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that
4)主从句。写作中一定要有从句,常见的从句有状语从句,定语从句,宾语从句,表语从句,主语从句等,定语从句最好写,比如:Through attending college, they can learn to be self-independent as well as cooperative with others, which does good to their individual development.
上述几点是提高英语四级写作水平有效的方法,希望对大家有所帮助。最后祝大家顺利通过考试。
