英语四级作文技巧.pdfVIP

大学英语作文是衡量学生英语综合应用能力的一个重要指标，也 是大学英语四级考试的一项重要内容，在整个四级卷面 100 分中占 15 分，考生在这一部分的得分直接决定其四级考试成绩。自 1997 年 6 月 起，全国大学英语考试委员会又正式实施了在计算成绩时考虑“作文最 低 ”。如果学生作文得零分，其总成绩将被视为不及格。因此，写好 一篇文章对参加四级考试的学生来说可谓至关重要。本文拟将探讨四 级写作中推展句的写作技巧。 大学英语四级写作的布局要求三段式的写作模式。每段都由 主题句(topic sentence)，推展句(supporting statement)和结论句 (concluding statement)组成。作为对主题句的论证，解释和说明的推展 句就构成了每段的主体，只有写好了推展句才能使文章言之有理，具 有说服力。 　 英语中的推展句有主要推展句(major supporting statement)和次要推 展句(minor supporting statement)两种。主要推展句的主要特点是围 段落主题句展开的每个推展句本身都不要求作进一步的说明或证明， 句与句之间的关系是相互独立又是相互连接的。次要推展句是指对主 要推展句作进一步的事实分析和举例说明，它从属于某一个或某几个 推展句。 　　例：(主题句) I dont teach because teaching is easy for me. (主要推展 句 1)Teaching is the most difficult of the various ways I have attempted to earn my living: mechanic, carpenter, and writer.(主要推展句 2) For me, teaching is a red-eye, sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach profession.(次 要推展句 1) Red-eye, because I never feel ready to teach no matter how late I stay up preparing.(次要推展句 2) Sweaty-palm, because Im always nervous before I enter the classroom, sure that I will be found out for the fool that I am. (次要推展句 3)Sinking-stomach, because I leave the classroom an hour late convinced that I was even more boring than usual. 　　从属于主要推展句 2 的三个次要推展句起着解释说明的作用， 别解释red-eye, sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach 的含义。这就更加形象生 动地证明了 teaching is not easy 这个主题。 　　下面谈谈大学英语四级写作中推展句的写作方法。 　　 1. 列举法(details) 　　列举法就是通过列举一系列的论据对主题句中摆出的论点进行广 泛、全面地陈述或解释，列举的顺序可以按照所列各项内容的相对重 要性、时间、空间等进行。例如： 　　Yesterday was one of those awful days for me when everything I did went wrong. First, I didnt hear my alarm clock and arrived late for work. Then, I didnt read my diary properly and forgot to get to an important meeting with my boss. During the coffee break, I dropped my coffee cup and spoilt my new skirt. At lunchtime, I left my purse on a bus and lost all the money that was in it. After lunch, my boss was angry because I hadnt gone to the meeting. Then I didnt notice a sign on a door that said ldquo;Wet Pain
