英语四级写作如何避免跑题
英语四级写作指导:1个宗旨
一般建议在作文的最后一段点出作文的宗旨,也即我们所说的”点题“。文章最后一段重申和强调作文主题,使阅卷老师非常轻松地找到文章的主旨,判断考生是否”切题“,给阅卷老师节省了时间,自然会得到一些额外的”好感分“。
英语四级写作指导:2个范围
任何一个作文题目,如果能够成为一个”可以让人探讨的话题“,势必需要”事关人“或者”事关物“,也许不要”事关重大“,但是必须是有话可说的。
”人“或”物“,就是四六级作文的两个命题范围:
(1)关于”人“的文章,一般涉及”个人成长成功、心态、哲理话题、价值观、品质、习惯“等”较为抽象“的话题。这种话题重在强调人的”内在品质“,强调”积极意义、教育价值“,命题旨在教育考生”做一个什么样的人“。因此,与人有关的”成长类、心态类和哲理类话题“是第一个命题的范围。
【真题链接】Sorry, I am too busy now.If Ihad time, I would certainly go for an outing with you.
【句型解读】该句型表示与现在、过去, 及将来事实可能相反的假设。其if从句的谓语形式分别为“过去时 (be用were) ”“had+过去分词”和“动词的过去时”/“should+动词原形”或“were to+动词原形”;主句谓语形式分别为“would/should/might/could+动词原形”“would/should/might/could+have+过去分词”和“would/should/might/could+动词原形”。
【温馨提醒】
●“If it were not for…I/they…would...”句型意为“如果不是……/如果没有……/要不是……, 我/他 (它) 们……就会……”。其中, “If it were not for...”是表示与现在事实相反的虚拟条件句, were不能用was来代替。主句用“would+动词原形”表示虚拟语气。
●“If it had not been for…I/they…would/should/might/could+have+过去分词”句型意为“ (过去) 如果不是……/ (过去) 如果没有……/要不是 (过去) ……, 我/他 (它) 们……就 (可能) 会已经……”。其中, “If it had not been for...”是表示与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句。主句用“would/should/might/could+have+过去分词”表示虚拟语气。

【温馨提醒】
●动词wish后接宾语从句时, 从句谓语动词可以根据对现在、将来、过去的虚拟愿望分别采用过去式 (be动词用were) 、“would/could+动词原形”“had+动词过去分词或could/would+have+动词过去分词”等形式。

【温馨提醒】
●有时不定式的动作执行者不是句子的主语, 此时就需要在不定式前面加一个名词或代词来充当其逻辑主语, 构成不定式的复合结构。

句式九、以“only+状语”开头的句子使用倒装语序的句型

【温馨提醒】
●在强调句中, 被强调部分是only所修饰的状语时, 句子的主体部分不用倒装。例如:
It wasonly when I reread his poems recent-ly thatI began to appreciate their beauty.只是在最近我重读了他的诗, 我才开始欣赏他们的美。
●如果only修饰的是句子的其他成分, 则句子的主体部分也不用倒装。例如:

10.重要的不是谁是对的, 而是什么才是对的。
1. it作形式主语。
In fact, it is certain that we would not be able to understand it if we heard it today.
【句型分析】该句子中的第一个it是形式主语,that引导主语从句。当句子的主语由动词不定式、动名词或从句担任,且较长时,可将主语调至句末,而原来主语的位置用it替代。另外,当no good,no use, useless, a waste of等作表语时,用动名词作主语比较符合习惯。当谓语是seem, appear, be said, be reported, be hoped, be believed等时,应该用从句做主语。
【翻译练习】
(1) 课后经常锻炼身体对我们来说是非常重要的。
(2) 与他争吵是没有用的。
(3) 她撒谎似乎是为了获得这份工作。
2. it作形式宾语
His dream was that the Olympic Games would make it possible for countries and people to live peacefully side by side.
【句型分析】该句子中的it是形式宾语,possible是宾语补足语,for...by side才是真正的宾语。当动词不定式、动名词、从句作宾语,且后面跟有宾语补足语时,宾语必须要放在宾语补足语之后。当宾语补足语是no good, no use, useless, a waste of等时,宾语用动名词。
【翻译练习】
(4) 他们觉得在这么短的时间完成工作非常困难。
(5) 我认为又阅读而不理解是没有用的。
(6) 我认为我们队必胜。
Once out in the street, she walked quickly towards her usual bus stop.
【句型分析】 当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致且从句的谓语含be动词时,从句的主语和be动词可以省略。如果从句的谓语是实义动词的主动形式,该动词则可以改为现在分词的主动形式。
【翻译练习】
(7) 小的时候,玛丽与奶奶住在一起。
(8) 在北京逗留期间,我拜望了好几位知名教授。
I found the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school.
【句型分析】 what I used to get在该句子中作由as引导的比较状语从句中的主语,其意思相当于the homework that I used to get。what可以引导主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句等,其意思为“什么”或“……的”。如:
I don’t know what has happened. 我不知道发生了什么事情。
What he says is often not the same as what he does. 他经常表里不一(他所说的经常和他所做的不一样)。
what表示“……的”根据具体语境可以理解为“……的话”、“……的想法”、“……的事情”、“……的东西”等。
【翻译练习】
(9) 你需要的东西在教室里。
(10) 我看不清黑板上所写的东西。
We will not give up until we find convincing evidence.
【句型分析】 否定形式的动词与until/till连用表示“直到……(动作)才(开始)”,肯定形式的动词与until/till连用表示“直到……(动作结束)”。
【翻译练习】
(11) 你不会知道你可以做什么,直到你尝试了。
(12) 他们一直谈到凌晨四点。
After the Norman Conquest, upper class people spoke French while common people spoke English.
【句型分析】 当我们在书面表达中需要对两个句子所表达的内容加以对比时,要用到上句中的while。此处的while表示“而”,可以连接两个句子。
【翻译练习】
(13) 我喜欢音乐而他喜欢运动。
(14) 有些人浪费食品而有些人不够吃。
Not all ads play tricks on us though.
【句型分析】当all, both, each, always, every及其复合词等与否定词not, never连用时表示部分否定。
【翻译练习】
(15) 并非我们每个人都为考试做好了准备。
(16) 他并非总是第一个到校。
Not only is every step of climbing Mount Qomolangma felt by the viewer, but also...
【句型分析】 否定词never, not, hardly, seldom, little, neither, nor, not until, not only, no sooner放在句首时句子要部分倒装。
【翻译练习】
(17) 以前我们从来没有见过这样的情景。
(18) 如果汤姆不去,那么他的妹妹也不去。
He found several important ones. Inside the tombs, he found jewels, gold and the preserved bodies of dead kings.
【句型分析】 inside the tombs在第二个句子中作地点状语。一般来说,地点、时间状语等应该置于句子末尾。但如果为了强调或出于使上下句连接得更加紧密的目的,可以将其调到句首。
【翻译练习】
(19) 我看到一棵大树。一些年轻人正在树下读书。
(20) 他找到了那所房子。然后他走了进去。
However, police found that Justin did in fact return home on Friday night at about 11 p.m..
【句型分析】该句子原来的形式为:However, police found that Justin in fact returned home on Friday night at about 11 p.m.. 为了加强谓语动词的语气,在该句子谓语动词之前加了助动词did。一般现在时、一般过去时的肯定陈述句和肯定形式的祈使句均可以通过加助动词do, does, did的方法来加强谓语动词的语气。
【翻译练习】
(21) 她的确经常帮助同学学习英语。
(22) 上课时务必将老师的话记下来。
Follow the suggestions above, you will look and feel much better in no time at all!
【句型分析】 该句子原来的形式为:If you follow the suggestions above, you will look and feel much better in no time at all!当if引导肯定形式的条件句,主从句主语均为第二人称,且当主从句谓语动词都表示将要发生的动作时,可以更换为:祈使句+and+陈述句。如果其他条件不变,只是if引导否定形式的条件句时,可以更换为:祈使句+or/or else+陈述句。
【翻译练习】
(23) 这些单词如果你多读几遍,就可以把它们记住了。
(24) 不要迟到,否则会受到惩罚。
由于篇幅有限,教材中的经典句型难以一一列出。不过,本文可以作为积累句型的开始。在今后的学习中,同学们可以不断将其完善。

1 现有外贸函电教材的研究中存在的不足
外贸函电的教学目的除了要求学生掌握国际贸易的基本原理、基本知识和技能外, 更重要的是要掌握商务英语信函的写作原则和用英语处理进出口业务的能力。它们是影响学生实际工作能力的重要方面。目前, 函电教材对这些方面的研究存在两个方面的不足。
1.1 礼貌原则的不足
商务信函写作原则是商务信函要遵循的普遍准则, 尤其是其中的礼貌原则, 秦延梅认为“正确地掌握英美外贸函电的基本礼貌原则是外贸工作人员必须具备的专业技能之一”。但是在外贸函电的教材中, 这一点只在概述部分写作原则的介绍中有讲解, 却很少能在样信中体现出来, 而且样信一般都没有场景的解释, 学生很难单单从样信中体会到应该采取什么样的语气来表达信函写作的态度, 更不知道用什么样的句型来表达这种态度, 这不利于学生在实际工作中对礼貌原则的准确把握和清晰表达。
1.2 对学生英语水平差的解决办法的不足
现今高职学生英语水平差是不争的事实, 即使在商务英语专业内也存在着英语水平参差不齐的现象。怎样在较短的时间内让学生掌握英语函电的常用表达并在实际的工作中灵活应用, 是每个商务函电教师需要思考和研究的问题。现有函电教材中有的英语表达太过复杂, 水平较差的学生学起来很吃力;有的教材虽然在样信和练习中用到了一些常用句型, 但却没有专门进行比较和总结, 知识点很散, 学生也很难掌握。
这两个方面的不足将会影响到学生学习的结果, 进而影响到将来实际工作的效果, 需要在教学中给予足够的重视。因此, 需要首先在教材中解决这些问题。
2 构建常用句型模块
在函电中人们大多是通过敬语和一些常用句子表示感激和尊重的。如果把这些常用礼貌句型集中罗列出来, 在教材中建立一个专门的模块, 就能方便学生进行选择和反复使用, 从而使学生能较快地掌握这些常用句型。
2.1 选作常用句型的依据
首先, 应该本着“实用为主, 够用为度”的原则, 选择实际外贸活动中最常用的、最简洁易学的表达作为常用句型, 避免晦涩的长难句。教材选材是否简洁实用, 直接关系到学生学习的质量, 从而也影响学生未来就业的质量。
其次, 要遵循礼貌原则, 选择礼貌程度不同的表达作为常用句型。礼貌的表达是要依据不同的场景和情况的, 有由衷的感激之情, 也会有出于客套的礼仪。区别礼貌程度不同的表达才能让学生准确表达不同情形下的情感, 有助于学生在实际工作中的操作。
2.2 常用句型模块的构建
常用句型可按礼貌程度和信息类型进行分类。在英语表达上越是长、难的句子意思上就越委婉、越客气。在构建模块时, 可按由短到长, 由易到难, 由随便到委婉的顺序排列。
赵璐把信息分为四大类:肯定信息, 中性信息, 负面信息和说服信息。前三种其实是同属于告知的三种类别。说服信息往往是用委婉的词语提出来的建议和请求。外贸函电作为商务洽谈中维持双方友好协作关系和谈判的工具, 需要用礼貌的语言表达出对现实情况的确认和对买卖双方下一步运作的建议。因此, 我们可以把信息划分为告知类和恳请类。
(1) 告知类:所告知的信息可能是好消息, 也有可能是进展不顺的信息。告知好消息时, 我们可以用表示感谢的句型:Thank you for your L/C…/We are pleased to tell you that…/We take pleasure in…/We acknowledge with thanksreceipt of your letter of June 11, enquiring about…
告知不好的消息时, 可以说:We are sorry to tell you that…/We are afraid…/We are regretted to find that…We presume that there must be some reason for your…等表示遗憾的句型。
(2) 恳请类:恳请类可以用一些疑问句、条件句、虚拟句来表达:
Could you…?
Would you please…?
We would like to…
We wish you would…
We should be thankful if you would…
We should be grateful if you would…
We shall be appreciate it if you can…
We are wondering if you can…
……
常用句型模块可以放在函电概述之后, 与礼貌原则、简洁原则等写作原则相对应, 为后面各个交易环节的函电写作做准备。
2.3 常用句型模块的应用
函电的结构一般包括起承转合四个部分。起:确认交易已进行到哪一步。通常用告知句型来说明已收到对方某月某日的来信、银行信用证或货运公司的装船通知等。承:对贸易现状表示感激或遗憾。转:对对方下一步的工作提出请求, 或对己方下一步的工作提出想法。合:期待对方的回复或行动。
在起承转合四个部分中, 几乎每个部分都要用到告知或恳请类的句型, 学生可以根据函电结构把这两类常用句型与贸易各环节相关的常用表达结合起来。提出己方意见时注意对方的需求, 拒绝对方要求和条件时注意语气委婉。提醒学生注意什么场合运用什么语气、使用什么人称。使他们知道如何站在适合的角度, 运用简洁、恰当的表达, 技巧性地进行业务洽谈。并且, 通过这样的反复应用, 学生能较快地掌握这些常用句型, 做到结构清晰、礼貌得体, 真正掌握好函电这门工具。
摘要:现有高职外贸函电教材中对礼貌原则的具体体现方面存在的不足, 妨碍了对外贸易函电课程的学习。因此, 应该从礼貌程度和信息类型两个维度来构建常用句型模块, 以利于学生真正掌握好函电写作。从常用句型选择的依据、模块构建和模块的应用等方面进行了论述。

通过实践归纳,笔者总结出写作中使用频率高、套用范围广的语法及句型,建议考生在写作时优先考虑使用这些“万能”句型,丰富文采。本文将以2010、2011和2012年三年广东高考英语基础写作为例,探讨一下如何整合句子以及润色句子。
笔者归纳的常用整合句子方法如下:
一、定语从句
适用范围:被描述的对象是人、物、时间或地点,且是名词成分时,通常会作为定语从句的先行词,通过定语从句进一步描述该对象。
1. The number of the smokers has already reached 350 million, among which the males hold 75% and the females hold 25%. [2010年广东高考,写作要点——相关数据:(1)吸烟人数:约35亿 (2)分布:男性75%;女性25%”]
2. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, whose writer is Amy Chua, a Chinese American and professor at Yale University, was published in 2010. [2011年广东高考,写作要点——(1)书名:Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother;(2)作者:Amy Chua,美籍华人,耶鲁大学教授;(3)出版时间:2010年]
二、非谓语动词
适用范围:中文翻译中有合适的动词可作非谓语使用,与句中谓语动词构成并列、伴随等关系。非谓语动词常可由定语从句改写而来,为避免句型单一,若一篇文章中多次使用了定语从句,可考虑把其中一个定语从句改写为非谓语动词短语,反之亦然。
1. My country begins to carry out the policy aiming to forbid smoking in public buildings since January 1st, 2011. [2010年广东高考,写作要点——内容:公共场所禁烟;实施时间:2011年1月1日起;实施范围:全国]
2. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, written by Amy Chua, a Chinese American and professor at Yale University, was published in 2010. [2011年广东高考,写作要点——(1)书名:Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother;(2)作者:Amy Chua,美籍华人,耶鲁大学教授;(3)出版时间:2010年]
三、状语从句
适用范围:根据因果、时间、条件、让步等逻辑关系,选择适当的连词,连接主、从句的内容。
1. More than 100 thousand people per year die because they are terribly influenced by the second smoke around. [2010年广东高考,写作要点——相关数据 (4)因二手烟死亡人数:超过10万/年”]
2. Surprisingly, most Chinese mothers do not agree with Amy Chua although her 17-year-old elder daughter was recently reported to have been admitted to both Harvard and Yale. [2011年广东高考,写作要点——相关报道:⑵意外反应:多数中国妈妈不赞同作者的做法;⑶最新消息:17岁的大女儿已被哈佛大学和耶鲁大学录取]
四、“so / such +adj./ adv. + that…”结构
适用范围:中文写作内容中涉及相关形容词或副词(或可根据中文写作内容合理增加形容词或副词),并通过该句型表示目的、因果等。
1. About 540 million non-smokers are so severely affected that every year more than 100 thousand people die of second smoke. (2010年广东高考,写作要点——相关数据 (3)受二手烟影响人数:约5 4亿 (4)因二手烟死亡人数:超过10万/年”)
2. The debate was so heated that people began to argue about which way of parenting was better, the traditional way or the American way. (2011年广东高考,写作要点——基本信息:⑸效应:引发中美教育方式孰优孰劣的讨论)
五、“with”结构
指with引出的介词短语或“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。
适用范围:对话题进行补充,或与主句构成伴随关系。
1. With the aim of freeing people from smoke in every public room, the government has taken action to post the sign of preventing smoking. [2010年广东高考,写作要点——目标:所有室内公共场所无烟;措施:张贴禁烟标志”]
