2006年英语六级写作讲义（一）

三、英语写作高分要注意的几种情况

    （一）避免低级错误，提高语言表达的准确性

    1、词汇问题

    1）搭配错误

    Low price而不是cheap price.

    Price has been more and more cheap. Prices has been declining.

    2) 虚假同义词问题

    有很多英语单词被当作同义词来处理，如economical, economic, financial, economics等。实际上这些同义词并非真正意义上的同义词。只因为汉语解释非常笼统，造成汉语词汇重复。语义的区别没有体现出来，才造成误用。

    下面都是中国学生在作文中最常用并出错最多的“同义词”。

    rise, raise, arise

    effect, affect, influence

    maybe, may

    病句：

    As college students, we have to learn/study knowledge. [acquire]

    The prices raised when the harvest was poor. [rose]

    He cost $2000 to buy the new computer. [He spent $2000 on the …或The new computer cost him $2000.]

    I won't take you much time.

    Because of economic difficulty, he had to drop out.

    3) 分词的混乱。

    动词ing与过去分词作形容词时常混用。Exciting, excited; satisfied, satisfying;

    The good news made all of us very exciting.

    4) 关于“有”的表达，误用较多。

    There are many people think …

    2、时态错误、混乱

    I did not expect he will come.

    3、句子结构错乱，最常见的是不使用连接词，直接用逗号连接两句话。影响档次分!

    There is no doubt that western culture is the leading one, it has changed the world deeply.

    4、一致性，尤其是主谓一致。

    The issue have become more and more serious.

    5、比较级错误

    常见错误：more better.

    The society is changing more and more faster…

    Problems have been more and more. 问题越来越多。

    6、大小写错误

    一般来说，每一句的首字母应该大写，人名地名等专有名词的首字母大写。

    china is still a developing country.

    it is well-known that…

    7、拼写错误 此类错误相当普遍，而且习惯一旦养成，较难改掉。下面是几个经常容易搞混淆或拼错的单词，课下多写几遍。

    environment（环境，容易写成enviroment）,

    government（政府，容易误拼成goverment）,

    modern（现代的，容易拼成morden）

    （二）、常见错误对照分析

    请大家检查对照，自己是否犯过此类错误，写下正确表达形式。

    1．Since…, people's life level is improving fast. (living standard)

    2．He told me he wanted to contact me when I was convenient, but I was cheated. (available)

    3. This issue is very serious, and people are very dangerous. (in great danger)

    4. After this incident, I was very painful and did not want to go to school. (upset)

    5. My hometown must become very beautiful in the future.

    6. A man who is too proud must not take other people's advice.

    Must表示推测的用法：

    Must be +形容词

    Must be+现在分词

    Must have+过去分词（对过去的推测）

    绝对不是must+实义动词！

    7. Only when you insist on working hard, can you realize your ideal. (keep)

    8. I was very angry that she doubted that I cheated in her exam. (suspected)

    9. Especially, science and technology are highly important and emphasized. (In particular)

    10. This certainly effects the people's lives; they can choose any kind if they want. (affect)

    11. It seemed that no one who can cause my attention. (attract/capture)

    12. It (maths problem) was that hard that (it) spent him a whole night. (took)

    13. The old man appreciated him very much. (liked)

    14. When we touch the other people in the society, … (are in contact with)

    15. I disagree the opinion “leaning about the past has no … in the present”. (disagree with)

    16. When we meet difficulties, we must face them calmly. (meet with)

    17. In modern society, people's nervous work often makes them too tired. (stressful)

    18 In big cities, there is always crowded traffic, while in the countryside… (heavy/congested)

    19. I think it is very right to say pride leads to failure. (quite)

    20. The short of exercises makes me can not work well enough. (prevent …from)

    21. You may be like this position.

    （三）正确使用关联词

    顺序: to begin with, moreover, last but not the least; 【用于列举多个方面的原因】

    举例：take…as an example, for instance, such as, that is, in other words

    强调：especially【绝对不可以用于主句句首!!!】, particularly, by all means, in particular

    比较：likewise, similarly 【表示类似的东西，用于句首】

    对比：by striking contrast【用于句首】

    让步：For all【后面只能紧跟名词性结构】；however+形容词/副词

    For all the advantages mentioned above, XXX is not without its limitations.

    However grave the situation may be, …

    原因：now that, since, because of, for this reason, as, due to, owing to, thanks to【常表示积极原因】

    结果：therefore, accordingly, hence, thus,【前面这几个单词只能做副词，不能单独直接连接两个句子】连词so可以。

    总结：to sum up, in conclusion, in brief, in summary, as has been mentioned above

    递进：in addition, furthermore, moreover, what's more 【需要单独引起一句话】

    时间：afterwards, at length, meanwhile, 【单独引起一句话】

    例子： For all the advantages mentioned above, 【让步】【承上】Internet is by no means without its limitations【启下】. To begin with, 【举例】we cannot always tell whether or not the information it provides is true. We may be misled by wrong information and make wrong judgments or conclusions. Moreover, we may find too much information on the same topic and to pick out what we need will take us much time…Last but not least, there are quite many viruses in the Internet, which may cause great damages to our computer.

    In conclusion, we college students need to use the Internet properly for our studies and entertainment….

    （四）句式要灵活

    改变句子的开头方式，不要都千篇一律的主谓宾或主系表结构。可以把状语置于句首，或用分词作状语等。然后注意适当穿插下面的几种句式会使整个文章增色很多。

    1）定语从句（限定性和非限定性）

    Example 1: To the best of my knowledge, there are many reasons why SMS is so popular nowadays.

    Example 2: The public have noticed and been worried about this new trend, which has generated a variety of negative effects on the young people.

    2）分词短语状语

    The use of cell phone makes the world more like a global village, giving us the opportunity to stay in touch at any time and at any place.

    3）强调句

    It is this severe issue that brought about the heated discussion among the public.

    4）倒装句

    Only by enforcing these measures can we hope to solve the problem eventually.

    5）反问

    Shouldn't we take effective measures to curb this situation?

    6）插入成分[介词短语]

    It is sensible, by any means, for us to make scientific analysis.

    It is necessary, therefore, to use the resources appropriately.

    （五）使用必要模板，要看清作文要求，切忌胡乱照搬

    1）开头段常用句型

    Along with the advance of the society, there is a growing concern with the problem of …

    In the past few years, there is an increasing popularity among people with…Take…as an example….

    Recently the phenomenon has aroused in the society wide concern.

    2）中间段常用句型

    Although the popular belief is that …, a recent study (survey / poll / investigation) indicates that ….

    The increase/change in … largely / partly results/arises from….

    The increase in … is largely due to the fact that ….

    There are a variety of causes for this marked change / decline / increase或其它表示变化的名词

    3）结尾段常用句型

    From what has been discussed above, we may safely arrive at the conclusion that ….

    It is high time that we placed considerable emphasis on the improvement/development of ….

    However hard it might be, I do believe there will always be a way out, as long as we are determined to change the present situation.

    （六）避免使用低级词汇，尽量使用中高级词汇（主要是形容词和形容词）

    Good resultsàfavorable results

    Bad effectsànegative effects

    Big changesàgreat changes;

    (Data )show thatàindicate; demonstrate

    Importantàsignificant; crucial; vital

    More and more (problems等名词)àan increasing number of (problems)

    More and more (important等形容词或副词)à increasingly (important)

    All kinds of à a variety of

    Manyà a number of

    Deal withà tackle

    Possibleàlikely (可用人或讨论的问题做主语)

四、各类作文基本模版

    模版不能简单照搬！一定要根据实际考题有所调整！

    （一）图表、图画式作文

    注意事项：图表题通常要涉及到数字、数据问题，在表达不同阶段数字时，句式不要重复。

    As is illustrated by the figure/percentage in the table（graph/pie/chart）,___【话题】_____ has been on rise/decrease，dramatically/steadily rising/decreasing from__[数字]____ in _[时间]____ to __[数字]____ in [时间]____.

    Reduce Waste on Campus

    As is known to all, waste on campus has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many students dump a lot of food in the garbage can. Some students spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes and so on.

    The negative effects of waste can be shown in the following aspects. In the first place, it makes some students dependent on their parents for money, which is harmful to their development. If they don't learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduate. In the second place, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling.

    Last but not the least important, there is no denying the fact that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help. As far as I am concerned, I should set a good example to reduce waste on campus.

    First of all, I will refrain from wasting anything, from food to stationery. What's more, I'm determined to call on more schoolmates to fight against waste. Only through these measures can we hope to reduce waste on campus.

    Fake Commodities

    In recent years, a lot of fake commodities have appeared in the market. These fake commodities have done great harm to the consumers and the society.

    Since the policy of reform was adopted, China 's economic have improved. A lot of people getting richer, and their living conditions are getting better. But still some of them are not satisfied. They dream of getting rich overnight and living a heavenly life, which, of course, is impossible to achieve by fair means. So they risk breaking the law to produce the market fake commodities.

    Once these fake commodities enter the market, they will do immeasurable harm to the society. The direct victims are the consumers. As the quality of the fake commodities is always very poor, the consumers may suffer great losses. Certain fake commodities, such as food and medicine, will cause irreparable harm to the health and well-being of the consumers. Fake commodities also cut into the profits of the brand-name-owners. Since the fake ones are cheaper, people tend to be reluctant to buy the genuine ones.

    [SMS]

    In recent years, mobile phone play a important role in people's life. Besides calling other people, the short message become the chief way of connect with others.

    Short message be used to delivery the massage and affection.It is very convenient and stupid.When you process the short message, you will not feel any uncomfortable, like strain, in your heart. And this is a good way of economical money. But there are some problems to use short message. In instance, some advertisement always bore you when you sleep or in class or any other time. Furthermore, you may receive some strange massage that you don't know who send it.

    As far as I am concerned, short message is a very useful way to connect with others. You can send a short message if you don't want or don't know how to say. Such as apology why not we use this way to turn our life harmony?

    The Use of Internet on Campus

    Nowadays, internet has play an important role in people's life. We can use the internet to do lots of things. Such as find message, send or receive E-mail, play games and so on. It is accelerate colorful of our life.

    Although internet have so many usages. A disccusion start that should the internet be used in freedom. Different people have different words. Some people said that internet should not open for student freedom. On one hand, they haven't adequate tine for study if they play game for a long time. On the other hand, it is harmful for vision and healthy if student seat in front of the computer. Other people don't agree with them for the reason that use the computer freedom is student's right.

    As far as I am concerned, internet have more advantage than shortage. Why not we use its advantage to turn our life convenient? I think, it is better to open the internet at given time.
