四级英语作文字数
篇一:大学英语四级写作基本要求
大学英语四级写作基本要求
基础阶段学生写作能力的基本要求为:能在阅读难度与课文相仿的书面材料时作笔记、回答问题、写提纲,能就一定的话题或提纲在半小时内写出120 ~150 个词的短文,能写短信和便条,表达意思清楚、无重大语言错误。
写作能力测试部分比例为15%,体裁包括议论文、说明文、应用文等。
分析:四级作文范文档的要求是:切题。表达思想清楚、文字通顺,连贯性较好。基本无语言错误,仅有个别小错。该要求蕴涵着大学英语写作的四个基本考点:
1、 切题——所谓切题是指在形式上诸如段落、字数、文体、格式等方面满足题目要求,并在内容上没有偏差。
2、 表达清楚、条理清晰——本要求考查学生对文章结构的掌握,要求文章主题观点明确,有头有尾,论证说明安排有主次,有轻重。
3、 文字通顺,连贯性较好——本要求考查学生对过渡句和连接词或词组的掌握和运用,要求文章句子内部与句子之间通顺连贯,不突兀。 4、 基本无语言错误——本要求考查学生语言基本功的掌握,包括语法与拼写两部分。 评分原则与评分标准
1. CET – 4 检查考生是否达到大学英语教学大纲规定的四级教学要求,对作文的评判应以此要求为准则。
2. CET – 4 作文题采用总体评分(Global Scoring)方法。阅卷人员就总的印象给出奖励分(Reward Scores), 而不是按语言点的错误数量扣分。
3. 从内容和语言两个方面对作文进行综合评判。内容和语言是一个统一体。作文应表达题目所规定的内容,而内容要通过语言来表达。要考虑作文是否切题,是否充分表达思想,也要考虑是否用英语清楚而恰当地表达思想,也就是要考虑语言上的错误是否会造成理解上的障碍。
4. 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0分。一名阅卷人员在所评阅的全部作文卷中不应只给中间的几种分数。
5. 字数不足以应酌情扣分:
(1)如题目中给出主题句、起始句、结束句,均不得计入所写字数。
(2)只写一段者:0 ~ 4分;只写两段者:0 ~ 9分。(指规定三段的作文)
在写作时还需注意以下事项:
1. 字迹清晰。由于四级作文的阅卷方式是先扫描后复制到电脑上,然后由阅卷老师在电脑上阅卷,所以在阅卷老师主观判卷的过程中,作文的框架以及书写的整洁程度 会对最终的分数产生很大的影响。笔者建议考生采用黑色水笔作答,这样可以显得更加清晰。同时提醒考生,切勿将答题卡折叠。
2. 严格按给定提纲的顺序写作。考生在组织作文的写作思路时,要严格按照提纲给定的要求写作。当然,考生也可以灵活运用写作套路,使用一些经典词汇或句型,把提纲句作为中心句放在每段的开头,后面再加上由逻辑词连接的分支观点,做到―以不变应万变‖。
3. 文章至少三段。四级写作的判卷规则有一条是这样规定的:只写一段 0~7分;两段0~9分。因此,笔者建议考生至少写三段内容。
4. 保证字数。四级写作规定的字数是120词或150词左右,每少10个单词扣1分,因而考生在写作时一定要注意达到相应字数。
四级写作难点分析及应对策略
难点一:主观判分,有所影响
不可否认,四级考试是目前国内各种英语测试中规模很大、公信度较高、科学性和客观性较强的一种,能够较客观地考察出一个人的实际英语能力。但写作仍然是四级考试中主观性较大的部分,存在主观判卷的弊端。虽然考官依据四级作文评分标准进行阅卷,但由于前文所述的考官在判卷中的弱点、盲点,人为因素不可避免。
难点二:体裁多样,难度较大
它既有书信作文,演讲稿,图表作文,也有议论文写作。字数要求也是国内英语测试中较多的,30分钟要求考生写一篇150字的短文。书信作文、议论文等尚能有章可循,然而图表作文却无从下手。这是因为国内各个层次的英语教学甚少涉及图表作文,并且要写好图表作文,不仅需要良好的英语语言能力,同时还应具备相应的分析、归纳能力。 难点三:老题新出,千变万化
四级作文有完善的出题套路,往往通过换关键词的方式可以旧瓶装新酒,老树开新花。 大学英语四级写作:应对策略与语言组织技巧
一、文字通顺连贯
英语中的过渡句和连接词是文章通顺连贯的重要标志,根据语法中的平行和从属结构原则,一个复合句中必须要有一个连接词,否则句子是不符合语法规则的。如:
All flights had been cancelled, the passengers had to go there by train. 本句的两部分都有完整的主谓,但并没有连接词加以连接,故是错误的,应改为:Because all flights had been cancelled, the passengers had to go there by train.或All flights had been cancelled, so the passengers had to go there by train.或用分词形式All flights having been cancelled, the
passengers had to go there by train.由以上例子可以看出,复合句内部必须要有连接词,有时句子之间也需要连接词,而连接词体现的是句子内部和句子之间严谨的逻辑和论证推理关系,是英文语言最大的价值之一。当然段与段之间还需要过渡句或过渡词组来加以联系,以达到通顺之效果。
以下是我们对写作中英文逻辑关系以及引导各种逻辑关系连接词和词组的归纳:总结关系过渡词语
generally speaking, generally, as a general rule, in general, on a larger scale, to take the idea further, to take the above opinion to an extreme, in a sense, in one sense, in a way, to some extent, in my opinion, in my view, as for me, as far as I am concerned, obviously, undoubtedly, in terms of, in conclusion, in short, in brief, in summary, in a word, on the whole, to sum up, to conclude 比较对比关系过渡词语
similarly, likewise, like, too, equally important, the same as, in common, in the same way, on the contrary, on the one hand, on the other hand, otherwise, in sharp contrast, whereas, rather than, conversely, instead, in/by contrast, but, however, yet, nevertheless
列举关系过渡词语
for example, for instance, as an example, as a case in point, such as, namely, that is, like, thus, first, second, third, finally, in the first place, initially, first of all, to begin with, to start with, what is more, furthermore, eventually, besides, in addition (to that), first and foremost, last but not least, next, also, moreover, for one thing, for another
因果关系过渡词语
because (of), as, since, for, owing to, due to, thanks to, on account of, as a result of, result in (from), consequently, for the reason that, as a consequence, consequently, if follows that, accordingly, therefore, hence
让步关系过渡词语
although, even though, after all, in spite of, despite, granted that
强调关系过渡词语
anyway, certainly, surely, obviously, to be sure, especially, particularly, above all, in deed, in fact, even worse, needless to say, most important of all, no doubt
递进关系
in addition, furthermore, also, moreover, besides, again, and, likewise, what's more时间顺序
afterwards, at last, at length, immediately, in the meantime, lately, meanwhile, presently, shortly, since, soon, temporarily, thereafter, while
方位序列
in front of, beside, beyond, above, below, inside, outside, on the left, on the right
方式手段
as, as if, as though, the way,by
目的关系
that, so that, lest, in case, for fear that, in order that
二、书写工整,避免严重语言错误。
写作中常见错误归纳
语法错误
· 时态错误
在描述过去发生的事情时要用过去时,如果是一般事实应该用现在时……。这些语法规则是大家耳熟能详的,但落到笔下就容易忘记。
· 一致性,尤其是主谓搭配
· 代词指代的一致
· 句子不完整
· 人称转换错误
· 比较级使用错误:more better than; There are many advantages than…
· 冠词用法错误:如:a easy job, City of the Beijing, He is a brightest student in his class. · 介词用法错误: This machine is superior than (to) the old one.
· 大小写错误
拼写错误
一些经常容易搞混淆或拼错的单词:
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
delighted-----------感到高兴的; delightful--------使人高兴的
economic-----------有关经济的; economical----节俭的,经济的
historic--------------有历史意义的; historical-------关于历史的
considerate---------关心别人的; considerable----相当大的,相当多的
三、词语的使用
选 词
多用近义词
make manufacture
buy purchase
finish accomplish
end terminate
use utilize
区分具体与抽象的词
词从语义上可分为具体与抽象两种类别,例如:
抽象具体
good kind, honest, generous, warm-hearted, selfless, friendly
laugh smile, chuckle, snigger
scientistphysicist, biologist, chemist
抽象词意范围大,概括力强,但给人以空洞的感觉,适合于文章的开头和结尾等总结性部分。具体词意义有针对性、个性和精确性,给人以确切的概念,适合用于段落中细节的刻画,论点的阐述以及事物的描写。如果用抽象的词来表达具体的事物,便会给人笼统的感觉:a.
抽象: The man is good.
具体: The man is selfless.
b.
抽象: There are three men in the room.
具体: There are three little boys in the room.
善于使用代词
A scientist draws conclusions by studying the facts he collects.
Such symbols as are used to represent chemical elements should be firmly kept in mind.
四、句式变换
在了解组织句子的四个特点之后,我们重点看一下句子组织形式的多样化,即在120-150词内,尽量使用不同的句子形式,常用的句型如下:
主语从句
定语从句 (限定性和非限定性)
状语从句 (时间,原因,地点,条件,让步等)
分词短语做定语或状语
强调句
倒装句
省略句
What句型
设问句
主语和主语从句
宾语从句
表语从句
倒装句式
部分倒装的情况:
全部倒装
排比平行结构
五、段落组织技巧
开头段
开头段的作用是概括陈述主题,提出观点或论点,表明写作意图,要求语言精练,直接切入主题或引出观点,一般不对主题进行深入的探讨,具体的论证或说明描述应该在中间段落进行,开头段一般写三、四句即可。在组织开头段时要注意避免以下几点:
· 开头偏离主题太远,否则会容易导致切题不准,主题不明
· 使用抱歉或埋怨之词句,因为社会主旋律是倡导积极向上的思想
· 内容不具体,言之无物,使用不言自明的陈述,给人以充数累赘之感
四级写作中常用的开头段的表达方法举例如下:
· 使用引语(use a quotation)
使用一段名人名言,或人们常用的谚语、习语,以确定文章的写作范围和方向。如:
―Great minds must be ready not only to take the opportunity, but to make them.‖ Colton, a great writer once remarked. But it still has a profound significance now. To a person, in whose lifetime opportunities are not many, to make opportunities is more essential to his success. · 引用具体或粗略的数据 (use figures or statistics)
当然对于图表题型,该种方法是必须的选择,具体做法是给出一些具体或粗略的数据,然后作出概括性分析,点明主题或引出需要论述的问题。
· 提出问题(ask a question)
提出有争议或探讨性的具体问题,然后加以简要回答或展开引导性简短讨论。· 给出具体实例或报道(offer relevant examples or reports)
· 定义法(give definition)
· 主题句法(use of topic sentence)
文章一开始就以主题句点明全文主题,然后围绕主题内容进行发展。
开头段的常用核心句型归纳如下,大家可选择使用:
· As opposed to generally accepted views, I believe that …
· The arguer may be right about …, but he seems to neglect to mention the fact that ….· Although it is commonly agreed that …, it is unlikely to be true that ….
· There is an element of truth in this statement, but it ignores a deeper and more basic fact that ….
· In all the discussion and debate over …, one important fact is generally overlooked.· On the surface (At first thought), it (this) may seem a sound (an attractive) suggestion (solution / idea), but careful weighing on the mind (on closer analysis / on second thought), we find that …
· Although many people believe that …, I wonder whether the argument bears much analysis
· The danger (problem / fact / truth / point) is that….
· I agree with the above statement because I believe that ….
· There is a public controversy nowadays over the issue of …. Those who object to … argue that …. But people who favor …, on the other hand, argue that….
· Currently (In recent years / In the past few years / For many years now), there is (has been) a(n) general (widespread / growing / widely held) feeling towards (concern over / attitude towards / trend towards / awareness of / realization of / illusion of / belief in)….· As far as I am concerned, however, I believe that ….
· Now it is commonly (widely / generally / increasingly) believed (thought / held / accepted/ felt / recognized / acknowledged) that …. But I wonder (doubt) whether … 结尾段
结尾段的写作方法可以归纳如下:
· 总结归纳
简要总结归纳文章要点,以便深化主题印象。如:
In conclusion I would like to say that children need to be understood but children also need to understand their parents. It is only when parents and children come to understand each other that we can solve problems effectively and narrow the generation gap.
· 重申主题
再次强调和确定文章开头阐述的中心思想。如:
Admittedly, science has created atomic bombs and produced pervasive pollution. But it has transformed the lives of millions of people. It has multiplied man’s energy, hopes, ambitions and understanding. It has elevated and will continue to elevate man intellectually and spiritually. 分析:文章对前文的观点进行了重复,使之更加鲜明。
· 预测展望
立足当前,放眼未来。如:

· 预测展望
立足当前,放眼未来。如:
So to sum up, we should offer our help to all who are in need. We expect to get love from others and we also give love to others. I believe that the relationship between people will be harmonious and our society will be a better place for us to live in.
分析:文章通过对未来积极的展望,说明了爱在生活中的重要性。
· 提出建议
提出解决问题的途径、方法或呼吁人们采取相应的行动。如:
As the issue plays such a key role in our society, sufficient attention should be paid from both the government and the public. The government should make sure that the census is well carried out and the people should be actively involved in the census.
分析:文章在结尾从政府和公众两个角度提出建议,以保证人口普查的顺利进行。· 提出问题
提出具有发人深省的问题,从而突出中心思想。如:
Old people may choose to live alone for themselves and even embrace this living pattern. But in the deep part of their hearts, they must feel lonely. They need their children to stay with, to talk with, and take care of them. Why can’t young people think of the days when they are getting old· 分析:文章最有用一个反问句―年轻人为什么不想想自己年老时的情形‖来提醒他们将心比心,设身处地,去关心父母双亲。
· 引用格言
用格言、谚语或习语总括全文中心思想。如:
Many yeas ago, a great philosopher Francis Bacon remarked that ―Knowledge … is power.‖ This can now be translated into contemporary terms. In our social setting, ―Knowledge is
change‖—and accelerating knowledge-acquisition, fueling the great engine of technology, means accelerating change.
分析: 文章借用培根―知识就是力量‖名言的结构,指出―知识就是变化‖以深化主题,给读者留下深刻的印象。

分(global scoring)方法,阅卷人员从内容和语言两个方面对作文进行综合评判。要考虑作文是否切题,是否充分表达思想,也要考虑所用语言(英语)是否能清楚而明确地表达思想。阅卷人员根据思想内容和语言表达的总体印象给出奖励分(reward scores),而不是按语言点的错误数目扣分。
现在的大学英语四级考试是710分制,作文部分占15%,满分标准分为106分。阅卷时,作文部分满分为15分,阅卷标准分为5等:2分、5分、8分、11分和14分。
具体评分标准如下:
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,且多数为严重错误。
5分――基本切题,表达思想不够清楚,连贯性差,有较多的严重错误。 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,文字连贯,但有少量语言错误。
14分――切题,表达思想清楚,文字通顺,连贯较好,基本上无语言错误,仅有个别小错。

只写一段者:0-4分,只写两段者:0-9分(指规定三段的作文)。
白卷,作文与题目毫不相关,或只有几个孤立的词而无法表达思想的,判为0分。
