1. 观点论述题 考生在进行观点论述题的写作时,一定要明确提出自己的观点,并对已提出的观点,应提供充分的、符合逻辑的论据。以下可供考生表达观点时常用句型表达法:In my opinion, Im of the opinion that, I think, I argue for (against), I have three main reasons for my opinion.
2. 不同物比较题 考生在做此类题型的作文时,一定要将两物进行比较(compare)或对照(contrast)。比较两物/两观点的相同点,对照两个方面的相异点。该类文章中常出现的表达法有:similary, on the contrary, in contrast, contrary to, prefer A to B或句子结构: Compare with A, B has the following advantages. I like A more for the following reasons.
3. 不同观点比较题 此类作文常用的表达方法有: Different people have different opinions; some people insist that ..., while others maintain ...
4. 图表题: 2002年6月的四级作文考了图表题。进行此类作文时,考生切忌堆砌数据,而应对图表进行准确地概括和描述后用更多的篇幅来揭示图表的含义或分析其现象的原因。
下面是一些常用的表达方法: 1.
As we can see from According to As shown in As is shown in As can be seen in |
 |
the chart that ... | 2、
We can see It can be seen It has been shown |
 |
from the chart (table) that ... |

 |
A is twice as high as B A is three times the size of B A is half the percentage of B |

 |
slight increase sharp rise slow decline steady fall rapid drop large fluctuation sudden reduction |
5. 表示上升的动词:rise, increase, climb, go up;名词:rise, increase 表示下降的动词:fall, decline, decrease, drop, go down;名词:fall, decline, decrease, drop 表示平稳的词:remain steady, remain unchanged, not change 表示上升趋势:There is (was) an upward trend in (toward) 表示下降趋势:There is (was) a downward trend in (toward) 表示到达顶峰:reaches (reached) its peak; reaches its highest point 表示降到最低点:reaches (reached) its lowest point

 |

 |
seen concluded inferred shown |
In conclusion, To conclude On the whole In all |
 |

短文写作三要素:
1. 无论是什么论点,短文写作一定要切题。 2. 写出正确的句子,简单句与复合句交替使用。 3. 学习使用谚语,为作文增色。
例如:Where there is will, there is a way.有志者,事竟成。
现以2001年6月的作文为例:那一年作文要求三个部分的内容:
①表示对朋友到来的欢迎; ②假期安排; ③注意事项。
I'm very glad that you will come to see me during the weeklong holiday, we have not seen each other for two years, so this time we can spend the holiday together. How nice will see you! Since you left Beijing 2 years ago, Beijing has made great changes because of 2008 Olympic. You will be surprised by that changes. I helped you to make some arrangements during the holiday. We can go shopping in WangFujin Department Sto re, climbing the Mountain Xiang, visiting the Summer Palace and Forbidden Cities in Beijing. Beijing has many good places we can visit. I think we will have a very good time together. By the way, you should telephone me when you come to Beijing, I will meet you in the railway station. Im looking forward to your coming.
从切题方面来看,第一段都与内容相吻合,表示欢迎朋友的到来,第二段中前两句都没有切题,但句子也都还正确,第三段中基本切题,句子也基本正确,虽然没有写作许多复合句或谚语等为作文增色,但这样的作文就可以得到9分,如果再能写几个正确又带色彩的句子, 就可得到12分以上。
