大学英语四级考试写作专项指导与练习

一、历年真题命题趋势分析

1. 对比对照类、现象/观点阐释类、问题解决类以及应用文类是考查的重点。写作试题中提供的文章框架清晰明了，思路明确。描述现象、分析原因、阐明个人看法是四级写作部分的主要考查重点。

2. 根据考试改革方案和课程教学要求的相关规定，应用文（包括书信、便条等）、说明文和议论文仍然将是新四级作文的主攻方向。从近5年来真题的命题来看，议论文、应用文始终是考查的重点。

二、解读阅卷评分原则

阅卷老师在语言方面主要从两个方面进行评判：

　 1、基本正确

　　美国作家海明威经常使用小学词汇，但他是诺贝尔文学奖的得主，可见语言的好坏不在词藻的华丽与否，而在于使用得是否得当。四、六级考生的最大问题不是写得太简单，而是严重错误太多。基础一般的同学即使使用小学或中学词汇和句型，只要使用得基本正确，也可以得到及格分数。考生最常犯的语言错误有三类：语法、拼写、标点。最常犯的语法错误包括：时态、冠词、主谓一致、名词单复数等。

　　2、丰富多变

　　基础较好的同学，要想取得四、六级写作高分，应做到丰富多变。丰富多变体现在词汇和句型两方面。同一词语在一句话、一个段落乃至一篇文章中最好不要重复出现，应尽量使用同、近义词替换(无法替换的关键词除外)。例如：think可以替换为reckon, assume, argue等词。此外，句型也应富于变化，不要拘泥于主谓宾句型，可以使用主系表、过去分词和现在分词短语作状语、不定式短语作状语、状语从句等多种句型。全文应以短句为主，长短句相结合。精炼的短句可以放在段首表示强调;复杂的长句可以进行具体的论证、举例或描述。

三、背诵是永恒的高分真经

语言学习有两个关键词——输入(INPUT)和输出(OUTPUT)。口语和写作属于输出，考生必须变被动为主动，这很难在短期内突破。没有大量的输入，很难进行自由输出。在英语学习中，多数同学只沉溺于背单词、抠语法、做阅读，很少有人背诵英文文章。正因为没有大量输入，写作才始终处于“挤牙膏”状态，想一句说一句，说一句翻译一句。背诵是提高英语综合能力的法宝，可分为以下5个层次：(1)精彩词汇，(2)精彩句型，(3)精彩句子，(4)万能框架，(5)经典范文。注意句子和句型不一样，精彩句子应作为单词来记忆。背诵前，确保自己已充分理解所有内容。

培根说过：“Writing makes an exact man.”(写作使人精确。) 背完经典范文后，进行默写。然后对照原文纠错，搞清楚错在什么地方。多数同学在写的时候都会犯小错误，如拼写、单复数、大小写等。这些就是你在写作中的弱点，也是阅卷老师最不能容忍的地方。

四、写作练习与背诵范文

1、问题分析、解决型

1. 定义：问题分析解决型作文要求考生针对给出的问题进行论述。题目所给的问题大多数是当今社会的热门话题。问题从本质上而言也是一种现象，只不过是一种不大好的现象。通常都要求考生分析问题产生的原因或危害，并提出解决问题的建议。

2. 写作步骤：基本提纲结构是：第一段直击问题作为中心，用“一句话”来具体展现和说明。第二、三段为对问题的原因或解决方法的分析，为文章的主体段落，要注意分层展开。

第一步：提出问题或现象。针对命题，概括性地提所要论述的社会问题和现象的主要特点。

第二步：找出、分析问题的原因或后果。说明问题产生的原因是什么，并且要分析说明原因造成的后果是什么。

第三步：提出建议或解决问题的方法，或对目前无法解决的问题提出展望。

How to Deal with Sub-health

　　With the acceleration of global modernization, people are enjoying a constantly improved material life. At the same time we may gradually find ourselves confronted with the threat of sub-health, a state between health and disease. Indeed, sub-health can result in both physical and mental diseases. Even worse, people who suffer from sub-health are more easily to die prematurely.

　　One typical symptom of sub-health is continual fatigue; the victim always feels tired and suspicious of some disease, which, however, is usually not to be detected through any physical check. Typical victim group consists of office workers, the active followers of material life yielded through their tense and hard work.

Considering the great harm brought by sub-health, I think it is high time that we took effective measures to prevent sub-health. As the quick pace of modern life is the ultimate cause of the problem, modern people had better learn to slow down a bit, try to do some exercise regularly to keep healthy. In addition, people must have enough sleep to ensure that they can regain energy and physical strength.

【背诵范文】

Commercialization of Campus Music

In recent years, campus music has been commercialized gradually. More and more enterprises are interested in being the sponsors of college music festivals or award competitions of campus singers. Campus singers and songs are not confined to college campus any more but being pushed to the market gradually.

The following factors can account for this phenomenon. On the one hand, some enterprises’ paying more attention to campus music is out of their sense of commitment to the society. They want to set healthy enterprise images before the public. On the other hand, nowadays entertainment marketing is very popular. Enterprises want to utilize entertainment activities to improve their notability and influence. College students, as the focus of the whole society, are a good choice for these enterprises. Of course, these musical activities have brought more chances for campus singers to show their talents to the public. Besides, campus songs have gotten more wide spreading.

However, commercialization of campus music to some extent reduces its uniqueness. Induced by fame and wealth, some campus singers try to cater to the tastes of the public and lost their own styles gradually. Therefore, in order to make campus music develop more healthily, both the sponsors of music activities and our campus singers should pay more attention on music itself but not profits.
