1. 体裁:说明文,议论文
最近几年的四六级作文的体裁以说明文和议论文为主。 说明文如:How to Succeed in a Job Interview (2000,12,四级), How I Finance My College Education(2000,1 四级), Practice Makes Perfect, Haste Makes Waste(97,1 六级) 议论文如:Don't Hesitate to Say "NO"(99,1 四级和六级), Can Money Buy Happiness(95,1 四级), Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?(2000,6 四级) Reading Selectively or Extensively? (99,6六级),Do "Lucky Numbers" Really Bring Good Luck? (98,6 四级和六级)
2.段落类型:比较/对比,列举,程序等
说明和议论文章所采用的文章扩展模式一般以比较/对照,举例、列举、因果、程序等者居多。如:Don't Hesitate to Say "NO", Reading Selectively or Extensively等很多四六级写作中都涉及到两种观点的对比,整体的段落类型为对照型。Practice Makes Perfect, Harmfulness of Fake Commodities等可采用因果行的段落结构模式,也可以采用举例说明的结构模式。Advantages of a Job Interview则应采用列举的段落扩展模式。
3. 出题方式:提纲式写作,中文提纲,一般为三句或两句。
如:99年1月份考题 Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: Don't Hesitate to Say "NO". You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below. 1. 别人请求帮助时,在什么情况下我们会说“不"。 2. 为什么有些人在该说"不"的时候不说"不"。 3. 该说"不"时不说"不"的坏处。 再如:98年一月分考题 Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: Harmfulness of Fake Commodities. You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below. 1. 目前社会上有不少假冒伪劣商品(fake commodities)。为什么会有这种情况 2. 举例说明假冒伪劣商品对消费者个人、社会等的危害。 |
