大学英语四六级考试写作讲座(一)、(二)、(三)
1. 四六级考试写作简介:
基本要求:新颁布的《大学英语教学大纲》中对于大学英语四六级写作的要求是:
考试时间为3
0分钟,分值均为总分的15%;四级考试要求在规定时间内写出120~150
词(不包括所给出的句
子)的短文,文章切题,文理通顺,意思连贯,无重大语法错误。
大学英语六级写作的要求只在字数上比
四级略有增加,即要求150~180词,其他方面
与四级要求相同。
大学英语四六级作文题
采用总体评分的方法,阅卷人员就文章总体印象给出奖励
分,而不是按语言点的错误数目扣分。总的说来
是就其内容及语言运用能力两个方面对
文章进行综合评判,内容方面要考虑作文是否切题,是否根据不同
的提示充分展开,能
否借助英语清楚、确切而完整的表达思想;语言方面要考虑词汇、句法及修辞等方面
应
用英语的能力,以及用词造句是否准确而又符合英语表达习惯,是否有由语言错误造成
的理解
上的障碍。同时,大纲明确规定“应避免趋中倾向,该给高分的给高分,包括满
分;该给低分的给低分,
包括零分。一名阅卷人员的全部作文试卷中不应只给中间的几
种分数。”
评分标准:满分为1
5分,共分五个等级:2分、5分、8分、11分、14分。若认为
某篇文章接近某分数段,则以此分数
段为基准,可根据优劣加减一分,不得加减半分。
注意,若规定三段的作文只写一段者给0~4分,只写
两段者给0~9分。具体如下:
0分-白卷;作文与题目毫不相干;只有几个孤立的词而无法表达思想。
2分-条理不清,思路紊乱,语言支离破碎或大部分句子均有错误,而且多为严重
错误。
5分-基本切题。表达思想不清楚,连贯性差。有较多的严重语言错误。
8分-基本切题。有
些地方表达思想不够清楚,文字勉强连贯;语言错误相当多,
其中有一些是严重错误。
11分-切题。表达思想清楚,文字通顺,但有少量语言错误。
14分-切题。表达思想清楚,文字通顺,连贯性好。基本上无语言错误,仅有个别
小错。 <
br>此外,到目前为止还未曾有因字数过多而扣分的例子,因为四六级写作时间有限,
考生不能写太长
的作文。但字数不足应酌情扣分(如题目中给出主题句、起始句、结束
句、均不得计入所写字数),具体
字数与扣分标准如下:
80~89 70~79
累计
四级
110~119 100~109 90~99
字数
六级 140~149
130~139 120~129 110~119 100~109
扣分 1 2 3 5 7
<69
<99

四六级写作技巧:
作文跑题是写作的大忌,我们建议大家在动笔前花三五分钟认真审题并列一个提
纲,将思路理清。请参
考“六问审题法”:
1)什么文体? 2)写作对象是谁? 3)写作中心是什么?
4)写作重点是什么? 5)采用什么写作角度? 6)有无其他要求?
作文题目是:Harmfulness of Fake Commodities
提示:(1)目前社会上有不少假冒商品(fake commodities)。为什么会有这种现<
br>象?(2)举例说明假冒伪劣商品对消费者个人和社会等的危害。
分析如下:1)文体——说明
文;2)写作对象——假冒商品;3)写作中心——假
冒商品存在的原因及其危害;4)写作重点——剖
析假冒商品的属性;5)写作角度——
以第三人称(假冒商品);6)
其他要求——时间30分钟,字数120以上。
大学英语四六级考试写作部分要求考生在3
0分钟内写出分别不少于120和150字
的短文,大多数考生能在规定时间内完成,但很多作文质量偏
差,最突出的问题之一就
是作文结构散乱,缺乏条理。因此了解四六级写作的基本模式很重要。四六级写

附:例文1
My View on
Donating Blood
People’s views on donating
blood vary from person to person. Some people
think that it is glorious to donate blood.
They hold this view because those
who are in
urgent need of blood can be saved. But others hold
that it is foolish
for people to donate blood.
In their opinion, blood is very precious and
losing
200ml or more may do harm to their
health.
As to me, I agree with the first
opinion. The reasons of my choice are as
follows. First, while it is true that loss of
too much blood is dangerous to
one’s health,
it doesn’t mean that donating a little blood is
also harmful.
On the contrary, doctors say
that donating a little blood can promote
metabolism.
Second, there are many people who
need our help. If my little blood can pull
back somebody on the way to death, will there
be anything that can make me even
happier?
Therefore, donating blood is glorious.
例文2
How to Solve the Problem of Heavy
Traffic
With the booming of the motor
industry, there are an increasing number of
vehicles on the roads. As a result, traffic
jams often occur.
Many ways can contribute to
solving this serious problem, but the following
ones may be most effective. First of all,
roads should be broadened to lower
the degree
of congestion and to speed up the flow of heavy
traffic. Another way
to solve the problem of
heavy traffic is to open up more bus routes to
reduce
bicycles and automobiles. Finally, more
underground passages should be developed
so
that people can commute by metro.
These are
not the best and the only three ways we can take.
But it should
be noted that if the government
takes some actions to alleviate the traffic
problem, all of us can enjoy more free
traffic.
例文3
Why Are There So Many Rural
Laborers in Shanghai?
Nowadays, rural laborers
flood in Shanghai. Men usually make a living by
decorating houses for city-dwellers. Women
usually work in the restaurant,
washing bowls
and plates. Some of them also work in state-run
factories,
undertaking the work city-dwellers
are unwilling to do. There are many reasons
for this social phenomenon, but in general,
they come down to three major ones.
For one
thing, perhaps they are short of money and want to
earn some money
in Shanghai to cope with their
difficulties. For another, they find it easier
to make a living in Shanghai than in the
countryside. Perhaps the prime reason
is that
they admire the urban life and want to live in
Shanghai permanently.
From the above, the
rural population is getting bigger and bigger in
Shanghai
and it has caused serious social
problems. Therefore, the government should take
effective measures to restrict the rural
population in Shanghai.

大学英语四六级考试写作讲座(二)
四六级考试写作技巧:正式写作
? 英语作文中的“起、承、转、合”:在汉语文章中又起承
转合的过程,其实英语文章
也有类似结构。不论是命题作文,还是图表信息转换,还是规定情境作文,用
起承
转合展开写作是一个容易成功的办法。
“起”就是开端,文章中常指开头段,有中心句;
“承”就是承接,承接上文并加
以申述,常指展开部分的讨论;“转”就是转折,从另一方面立论,遇到
需转折时常用
表示“可是”、“然而”的连接词;“合”就是结尾,给出结论,结束全文,文章中指结<
br>尾段。有时文章中可能会没有“转”,但“合”总是有的。
Don’t Hesitate
to Say “No”
(起)Saying “No” to others is often
quite necessary and natural.
(承)When we are
asked to help but are unable to, we may say “No”
with
explanations of reasons for our refusal.
(转)But some people are reluctant to
say “No”
when they should because they do not want either
to make others
disappointed or unhappy or to
let others know of their limited ability. However,
they do not realize that not to say “No” when
they should will not only cause
delay in
others’ business but also cause others to think
sooner or later that
they are distrustful
persons. (合)Therefore, don’t hesitate to say “No”.
这是个有起承转合结构的段落,以主题句“起”,紧接着是“承”,从表示转折意义
的连接词“
but” 那句开始“转”,最后以“therefore”示意为 “合”。
英语文章中的起承转合
可用连接词来加强联系。在自己的短文中恰当的使用,会使
文章读起来逻辑连贯,意义清晰。
“起”:at first at present first of all
firstly generally speaking
a proverb says
on the whole it is clear that currently lately
many
people often ask this question in
general
“承”:for example for instance for
this purpose at the same time in
addition
indeed no doubt in fact obviously meanwhile
of course
also moreover besides we must
recognize that similarly
“转”:but to our
surprise unfortunately fortunately however on
the
other hand but it is a pity that
nevertheless in other words on the contrary
in the same way anyway after all other may find
this to be true, but
I …
“合”:as a result
as I have said at last finally in brief in
short
on the whole therefore to sum up
accordingly above all consequently
eventually all in all in a word in conclusion
as has been noted
? 如何开篇:
1.
引言部分要引出主题,确立论点。
2.正文部分是分析问题。每一个正文段落一般包括主题句和展开句
。主题句一般放在
句首,写成简单句,句子尽量清楚、简洁;展开句须围绕主题句展开阐述,可用列举法
列出相关事实和理由,或用举例法进一步说明。写展开句时要注意使用衔接词和短语,<
br>必要时可在最后一句总结全段的主要内容。
(1) 主题句
主题句的好坏直接关系到段落是否成功。因此主题句必须写得完整、清晰、具体。
首先,主题
句必须能够完整的表达主题思想,并且必须是一个主谓结构完整的句子,
不能只是只言片语。有的同学容
易将提示机械地翻译成短语,将其放在段落之首。
例:Choosing Career
1. 社会上可选择的职业很多
2. 选择职业应持的态度
3. 我理想的职业
这是一篇提纲式的命题作文,第一段的提示性的语句可直接翻译成句子We can
choose among many professions in our society.
第二段和第三段只是提示性的
短语,切不可在段首只写上 attitude towards
choosing career 和 my ideal
career,
而应将其发展成完整的语句 It is important to be sensible about
the
choice. 和 The career I like best is …
其次,主题句要清楚,不能让读者感到模棱两可。
例:To play a sport,
one needs to know something about it. (unclear)
To play a sport requires good health. (clear)
To play a sport requires fair rules. (clear)
To play a sport, one needs to develop his
good temper. (clear)
最后,主题句要具体,不可过窄或过宽。它所包含的内容
太宽,会使主题显得含糊
不清,以致很难在一个段落之中把主题说清楚。如果包含的内容过窄,又使得段
落无法
展开。
例:Television plays an important
role in our life. (broad)
Television presents
The Spring Festival Get-together Party in front of
us. (narrow)
Television brings us a vivid
world. (medium)
Television can play an
educational role in our daily life. (medium)
换言之,主题句应是可扩展句,它既要具有概括性,又要有具体的、标明主题导向
的关键词语。
例:People like using computers very much.
此句只是单纯的陈述,缺乏概括性,可修改为:People make use of
computers in
a lot of ways. 其中 in a lot of
ways 是该主题句的关键词语。
再如:Computers are very useful.
该句缺乏具体的导向,因此可修改为:Computers are useful in many
respects.
或 Computers have a lot of uses.
其中useful in many respects 和a lot of uses
是关键词语。
大学英语四六级考试写作采用最多的文体是说明文与议论文,下面是写这两种文章
时的常用开篇句型:
(1) When it comes to …, some people
think that …. Others think that
the opposite
is true. There is probably some truth in both
arguments but …
(2) When asked
about …, the majority of people say that …, but
others
regard … as …
(3) There is a
general discussion about …. Those who criticize …
argue that …. They believe that …. But people
who advocate …,
on the other hand, argue that
…
(4) Now, it is commonly believed that ….
They claim that …. But I
wonder whether …
(5) With the general recognition …, more and
more people believe
that ….
(6) In recent
few years, there is a sharp increase in the number
…
(7) Recently there is a general attitude
that …
(8) One of the great writers once said
that …, now most of us agree
with it.
(9)
People used to think that …. In the past …. But
things are quite
different.
(10) According
to a recent record, it can be learned that …
(2) 展开句
写好主题句和关键词之后,下一步就是选择能支持关键词的有关素
材,围绕主题句
来展开段落。展开句时主题句的延伸,起着辅助主题句、推展段落中心的作用。在
写作时,既要注意把思想表达清楚,叙述翔实,又要注意简明扼要、重点突出。每
一个展开句都应该是
对主题句中体现主要思想的关键词的明确的说明。要想写好展
开句,一个常用的方法就是在句子展开之前
加以设问,然后解答。
例:Topic sentence: English is an
international language
设问(why): Why can we
say English is an international language?
解答(because):
-because English is spoken by
pilots and airport control operators on all
the airways of the world.
-because over 70
percent of the world’s mail is written in English.
-because more than 60 percent of the world’s
radio programs are in English.
下面是扩展文章主体时常用的句型:
(1) The answer to this
problem involves many complex factors. For one
thing, …. Still another ….
(2) My reason
may be expressed as follows.
(3) The opinion
may be supported by data ….
(4) There is no
better illustration of the point than the example
of …
(5) Although it is commonly held that …,
it is unlikely to be true
that …
(6) Good as this is, …it has its own
disadvantages. For one thing, ….
For another,
…
(7) There is absolutely no reason for us to
believe that …
(8) Some people suggest that ….
But what these people fail to understand
is
that ….
(3) 结尾句
结尾部分应与首段相呼应,但要换个句型或方法
来表达,避免与首段简单重复。有
的考生因时间有限或感到无话可说便不写结尾,这是完全错误的。文章
的结尾给人
的印象深刻的程度仅次于开头,为了使文章结构完整,必须写结尾,为了给文章增
色
,还要写好结尾。好的结尾能取得画龙点睛的效果,而不好的结尾却会给人狗尾
续貂的感觉。四六级作文
常见的结尾句型:
1) 总结式
① From what has been
discussed above, we may safely arrive at the
conclusion that ….
② In conclusion, I
would like to say that … is a question that
deserves special attention from the public.
③ Therefore, we can draw the following
conclusions …
2) 展望式
① Obviously, if we
can’t change the situation, there is every chance
that … will be put in danger.
② It is high
time that …. Here are a few examples of some of
the things
that might be done immediately.

极因素”、“摩托车的优点与缺点”等。凡涉及到利弊的题目时可

(2) A or B 题型
人生面临着许多抉择,这在四六级写作题目中也反映了出来。如
:“始终从事一种

题
目,可运用下列套路:
套路1:When weyou …, weyou will

套路二:When we …, it is
inevitable to meet the choice between A and B.
We would be regarded as inconsiderate if we

or
contrasting them.
First First of all To

difference is that
A … while B …. Therefore,
it is not difficult to make a right choice now. if

例文: On Computer
Nowadays, computers are very popular around
us. Like everything else,
computers have both
favorable and unfavorable aspects. Generally, the
advantages
and be listed as follows.
First, computers can calculate. They
can make work more efficient for they
have a
high speed of calculation. Besides, people can
communicate with each other
by E-mail, which
costs people less money and less time. Most
important of all,
computers create wide
communication around the world. People can
communicate
with each other by joining
internet. They can make friends all over the
world.
But every coin has two sides. The
negative aspects are also apparent. T begin
with, since computers can do a lot of work for
us, such as calculation, we may
rely too much
on them and become lazier and lazier. To make
matters worse,
although it is convenient for
people to communicate with each other by E-mail,
the original warm relationship may become
cold, for people will have fewer
opportunities
to talk to each other face to face. Worst of all,
computers will
have virus caused by electronic
hackers so that a lot of important information
will be lost.
Through above analysis, I
believe that the positive aspects outweigh the
negative aspects. Therefore, I believe,
computers will have a bright future.
Traveling by Train or by Plane
When we go
on a business trip, we will be faced with the
choice between
traveling by train and by
plane. Before making the right choice, we had
better
make a close comparison and contrast of
them.
First of all, a train will take us to
our target railway station. Also, a
plane will
take us to the target airport. Second, in a train
we can enjoy the
beautiful scenery of the
countryside. Likewise, in a plane we can command a
good
view of fields, buildings, mountains and
even clouds below. Despite their
similarities,
traveling by train and by plane are also different
in the following
aspects. First, a train
ticket is cheap. Most of us can afford it.
However, a
plane ticket is about twice as
expensive as a train ticket. Most of us train
gets into some trouble, we may survive by
jumping out of it. On the contrary,
if we
travel by plane, we have to ask God to bless us.
Finally, it takes us longer
time to travel by
train than by plane.
Therefore, it depends
which transportation tool we should choose. If we
just
want to save money, we will travel by
train; but if we want to save time, we
will
turn to the plane.

四六级考试作文中的一些注意事项:
图表、图画作文:
图表、图画作文是要求考生
根据题目范围及表格、数据或漫画、图片提供的信
息进行写作。这类作文主要考查考生对非文字材料用文
字进行转述或分析说明的能
力。做图表作文时要首先研读图表,对所给数据、图形、分类、曲线、横线、
纵线
及百分比等要有个完整的了解,在此基础上进行分析整理。有时并不需要把所有的
数据都一
一表述分析,而应抓住其中有代表性、有规律性的数据进行分析。避免过
多的引用、描述,要找出规律,
找出发展趋势便是图表作文的基本写作思路
。
特别
要注意的是图表作文中所引用的数据
不是单纯为了引用而引用,而是为了更有力的
阐明或论述某个观点。在近十年里图表、图画式作文在四六
级考试中共出现了四次,
占总数的10%。
图表作文要求考生首先看懂图表意在展示的内容然
后准确的、条理清晰的进行
描述、概括以及最后得出合乎情理的结论。它通常的模式为:
1.
对图表的描述
2. 对图表的概括
3. 对图表所作的结论
[注]: 1. 图
表中所给的数据一般都比较多,但考生不能在文中一一罗列,而
要去繁就简,抓住重要信息加以描述。审
阅图表时,要心细眼明。凡是印在考
卷上的都可能有用。2. 对图表描述后的概括、发现或议论要注意
符合图表本
意,不可泛泛而论,或越扯越远。言之有理、言之有句才能事半功倍。3. 文
章最
后得出的结论要合乎情理。它既能给阅卷者一个新意,又在情理之中。这
结论可以是归纳,也可以是对未
来的一种预测。例:
Year
1984
1990
1998
Family Bank Deposits
Average
Family Deposits
1338
7869
32000
RMB (yuan)
Total Family
Deposits
130.5 billion
757.3 billion
2533.2
billion
对图表的描述:
The period
1984-1998 saw a great increase in family bank
deposits
in China’s cities and towns, as is
shown in the above table. Compared
with the
total bank deposits in 1984, the amount in 1998
was 19.4 times
as much as that year.
对图表的概括:
Several factors may contribute to
this change. First, with the
development of
reform and open up, the family income has greatly
increased and people have more spare money to
put in the bank. Second,
people are no
longer content to buy small items and they save
money to
purchase more expensive things such
as cars and houses. Third, it seems
that to
put money in banks is still a main investment for
most families.
Families are willing to deposit
money in banks to gain interests as well
as to

没有语法错误的作文就会得高分吗?
四六级写作阅卷老师给一篇文章打分有一深一浅两层标准,浅处要
见考生英语表达
能力,深处要见考生逻辑分析能力。要得到阅卷老师11分以上分数的作文必须达
到深层次要求,对于两篇同样没有多少语法错误的作文,逻辑关系严密,表达清楚、
简
洁、层次分明的一篇定会得到高分;而逻辑错误,表意不清,语言罗嗦的一篇便
只能获得中等分值了。因
此我们还要注意避免以下的错误:
1) 词语冗余
写作最忌冗词赘语,作文若不
简洁会显得罗嗦、拖拉,必定影响分数。有人认为英
语写作必须用一些漂亮的词语才能更好的显示作文水
平,也有人则喜欢拐个弯儿用
一个从句或一串解释性的词语来表达本来一个词就可准确表达的意思。有时
这样只
会弄巧成拙。
例:College prepares you for the
field you may be entering, or if you aren’
t
planning to work, it still helps you talk about
things in conversation
that is interesting to
you and other people.
改:College prepares
you for an occupation and makes you a good
speaker.
第一句话比较罗嗦,论述拐弯抹角,而后一句则直截了当,简洁明了。
2) 表意不清
文章虽无语法错误,但读后总让人觉的意思不清晰。
例:警察被派去阻止公园里的酗酒行为。
The police were ordered
to stop drinking in the park.
The police were
ordered to stop visitors from drinking in the
park.
3) 修辞不当
修辞是一种较高级的写作手法,用以突出文章主题,渲染气氛,
增加文章的感染力
和表达效果,但如果运用不当,则会适得其反。例如一个simile (明喻) :
He is as strong as a bull
He is as strong
as a horse.
常用的这类比喻: as blind as a bat; as
busy as a bee; as easy as pie; as hungry
as a
hunter; as proud as a peacock.
4) 标点符号方面的注意事项
标点符号使用过于随便会造成英语作文的逻辑不清,从而影响文章的连贯性。在英
语写作中若“
一逗到底”是严重的语法错误。因此我们在英语写作中一定要重视标
点。
逗号:同位语之间用逗号(this is Li Yang, monitor of Class
4); 并列或列
举的事物每一项之间用逗号(I like swimming, singing,
dancing and playing PC
games in my spare time.
);插入语两侧用逗号;非限制性定语从句与主句之间用
逗号;状语从句或短语位于句首或句子中间要用
逗号。
句号:结束一个陈述句、祈使句;
分号:并列句的两个分句可用分号代替连词(it
was getting late; she must start
back for New
York.)
冒号:列举事物;引用较长的句子;
破折号:用在一个解释性的成分前或解释性插入语的前后(Then the
proposals-
both yours and mine-were
adopted.);表示意思的转折;总结前面列举的事物
D.文章写完后如何检查 <
br>首先我们要明确,无论时间多么紧迫,应留出3-5分钟对短文进行检查修改,这
一步绝不可忽略
。我们要在这几分钟里从词汇、句子、段落和语篇四个层次上对文
章进行检查。词汇方面我们着重看动词
的搭配、副词的位置和名词的数,是否有拼
写、大小写、标点符号的错误;句子方面要看句子结构、语法
结构是否正确;段落
方面要看是否有主题句,段内连接词是否明确、逻辑清晰;语篇方面要看主题是否<
br>明确,文章层次是否清晰,结论与主题是否一致。此外,考生的书写也是取得好成
绩的一个重要因
素。字迹潦草,过多涂改的试卷会令阅卷者感到不快,定会产生负
面影响。
