话题侧重考生熟悉的校
园热点和社会热点,题型大至可分为以下

、
观点对比型
p>
此类作文题目要求学生针对某一事物或现象从正反两面分析其利弊,
或
通过比较两种不同观点来阐明自己的观点,表明自己对该事物或现象的看
法。如:

B.
问题阐释型
该类型作文
的基本模式是,提出一种现象,要求对其加以分析、或阐释
该现象带来的问题,并提出解
决方法。重心通常在对现象的分析这一环节,
要求对问题的成因或后果做比较详细的阐释。如:

图表描写型
p>
四级写作要求单纯描写的可能性不大,但完全可能结合说明、议论等多
种体裁进行考查。图表描写型作文题目要求学生看懂图表含义,描写图表呈
现的内容,
分析图表所表现出的问题或规律;最后得出结论或对其趋势做出
预测。如:

< br>
1.

1990
年(

2.
请说明发生这些变化的原因(可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等
方面
加以说明)
;
3.

D.
事件记叙型:
四级考试
直接要求记叙事件的情况非常少见,
通常要求对所叙之事进行
说明或评论
,即将记叙文融入论说文之中。这类作文题目往往要求学生清楚
地叙述一个事件,交代其
前因后果,并在叙述中加入自己的评论或感受,由
此展开讨论,如
:

1.

3.

E
.应用文题型
这类作文题目是人们日常生活、工作、学习中频繁涉及的写作问题,故
在日趋注重实
用性的四级考试中是常客,
其范围广,
包括信函、
通知、
报告、
演讲词等,命题形式也较灵活,如:
Welcome to Our Club
(2007
年
6
月
CET-4)
1.
表达你的欢迎
2.

< br>堂的饭菜质量、价格、环境、服务等,可以是表扬,可以是批评建议,也可
以兼有
而有之。
【谋篇布局】
< /p>
写作文,谋篇布局非常重要:怎样提出问题,怎样说明前因后果,怎样
承上启下,又怎样下结论,提建议,表达自己的看法。每一种类型的作文都
有相对固定的论证方式及句型。这就像画一棵大树。整体的框
架句型好比一
棵树的大树干和大树枝;段落中用于扩展句子的连接用语,好比大树枝上的
小枝条(如举例说明、逐项阐释、描述图表等)
;而文章的具体内容就是 叶
子、
花或果实。
如果能把握四级作文的基本命脉, p>
熟记几套不同的框架句型,
应试时就能花更多心思在内容上,使其丰富、充实
,并尽量避免语言错误。
尽管添加的叶子可能有枯萎的,花也不很漂亮,但掌握了文章谋
篇布局的规
律,有了框架句子作底,好比一棵大树的枝干已竖于眼前,写作时就能从被<
/p>
动到主动,把
“望而生畏”的作文变成轻松愉快的“填空练习”
。基于上述对作文题
型的划分,以下分别对每种题型的常用句式予以归纳,并给出了模版示例,
供同学们参考
