大学英语四级考试中作文部分主要考查学生运用英语进行书面表达的能力,要求考生在规定时间内写出一篇内容完整、用词恰当、语义连贯的短文。然而在考试过程中,看到作文题目后,有些考生往往不知如何下笔;有些考生挖空心思地堆砌词语,导致文不对题、词不达意。那么,怎样才能在考试中写出好作文,取得高分呢?
关键词:大学英语 四级 写作 策略
大学英语写作是一种语言技能,是衡量学生英语综合水平和应用能力的一个重要指标。但当前的大学英语教学对写作的重要性还不够重视,写作成为学生英语技能中最薄弱的环节。作文好坏直接影响整个卷面成绩,针对这种现象,许多专家、学者从各方面找原因。笔者从学生在写作中存在的问题入手,寻找原因,探索其对策,目的在于提高学生英语写作能力,使学生真正达到书面交际的目的。
一、英语四级写作中常见的问题
1、常见词的错误
学生常见的用词错误除单词拼写错误外,包括冠词、代词、形容词、副词、分词的误用,还有词语搭配错误,用词宽泛。词汇简单、平淡、重复等。
2、常见句式错误
句子是能单独存在并能表达相对完整意义的语法单位。好的英语句子不仅仅是用词得当,拼写无误,语法正确。还必须结构严谨,语言规范,富于逻辑性,能最有效、最准确地表达思想。好的句子应具备完整性、连贯性和明确性。
3、常见篇章问题
一篇文章应该具有完整性、唯一性和连贯性。四级写作中常见的篇章问题包括:主题不明确、详略不当以及结构模糊。为了应对这些问题。
二、提高英语四级写作策略实施
1、了解英语写作的测试目的,准确把握题目的要求,迅速梳理写作思路
英语写作测试,其实主要还是要考查学生组织英语语言的能力和用英语表达思想的能力,体裁不外乎议论文、说明文和应用文,主题也是在大学生熟知话题基础上的翻新或扩展。纵观历年的四级作文题,变化趋势是从三段论的议论文向实用性更强的应用文体,尤其是向书信写作方面倾斜。考生平时应有意识地就他们感兴趣的一些话题进行思考和拓展,争取在实践中磨练出敏锐的审题能力。
到了大学阶段,学生还是非常善于思考的,他们不仅想象力非常丰富,晚上做梦,还经常daydream,各有独特的思维和写作思路。但是,如何将千头万绪的思路梳理清楚,则必须有真功夫。为此,在进行四级写作时,考生一定要首先形成自己的观点,之后合理运用一些手段。如常用的有四种:陈述理由、举例说明、提供数据、下定义等,之后充分就此展开论说。这样通过高效思考,严密组织,再辅以提纲形式的文章架构,考生一定会写出符合规范的文章
2、扩充单词量,包装语言
大学英语四级考试中,词汇和语法知识将融入各部分试题中,不再单独列项考核。要达到大学英语四级考试所考核的各项技能要求,考生掌握的词汇量应达到4500个单词和700个词组(见《大学英语课程教学要求(试行)》参考词汇表)。要解决学生词汇量不足的状况,不是一蹴而就的事情,学生应该循序渐进,逐步积累。具体来说,学生应该平时的英语学习过程中增大阅读量,在阅读过程中发现新词汇,积累新词汇。对于新学习的词汇,学生应该增加其同义词,反义词的学习,以新代旧,加深印象,夯实已经认知单词的用法。
针对四级考试大都是议论文,而议论文是由开头、结尾、启转、分析、举例、比较等部分所组成的,其中都有些固定而漂亮的句型来表达。由于这些句型都是地道的英语,是经过千锤百炼,可以放心的拿来使用,背诵并模仿这些地道的英语表达句式非常有助于考生写出高质量的作文。当然,在任何写作完成后都一定要有润色包装词汇,并仔细检查,清除单词拼写,时态不一致等低端错误,扫清高分作文的障碍。
3、加强阅读、丰富和积累写作素材
阅读和写作是相辅相成的,阅读是写作的基础,为写作提供所要表达的内容语言材料.是语言输入的重要途径之一。写不仅有助于巩固山阅读和听输入的语言材料,促使语言知识的内在化,提高语言运用的准确性,而且还能为实质性的口语能力打下扎实的基础。由于学生平时语言输入不足,他们大脑中储备的语言信息非常有限。“以至不得不用汉语的思维,英语的词汇,依靠语法编造句子。”当学生在没有足够的语言输入情况下进行书面交际,必然会产生大量不规范的语言输出。众所周知,我国传统的外语教学是十分重视阅读的,因为大量阅读有助于学生了解英语国家的文化背景,有助于巩固和扩大学生词汇量,提高学生的阅读能力。培养语感,为成功的写作奠定必要的基础。实践证明,阅读能力强的学生写出的文章在句法、词汇、内容及篇章结构方面比阅读能力差的学生要好。在平时教学中教师应鼓励学生大量阅读英语原文。积累丰富的语言材料,这样写出的文章才能更为有血有肉、丰富多彩。针对学生语言输入严重不足,可引导学生充分利用现有的精、泛读材料,将里边出现的优美的词句熟记或背诵,并鼓励学生将所学所记的新词、句型及精美句子用于写作。如遇到优秀的篇章或段落时,提示学生研究作者的写作思路和思想内容,帮助学生分析课文的写作方法和技巧,欣赏其表达法及遣词造句的优美和准确,并在自己的写作中加以模仿和运用。如此读读写写,写写读读,学生的写作水平很快就提高了。
三、结语
学生提高写作能力,要想在四级考试中作文取得高分,不是一朝一夕的事情,要经过教师和学生长期不懈的共同努力才能获得。如果学生们在平时多下功夫,在日常的学习中努力积累知识,多学多练打下牢固的基础,在考试中讲究写作技巧,正如一句英语言语所讲:Practice makes perfect. 考生一定能够发挥出水平,润色出高质量高分数的文章来。

What animals mean to human being, close friends or lists of recipe? Some people consider that animals should be regarded as friends instead of food or sources of clothing, while the opponents think animals are born to service for human being.
As far as I am concerned, I advocate the former’ opinoin. There are two main reasons for that. First of all, it is known that more and more rare animals are endangered, because of the human being’s capture. People peel off the animals’ skin to make coats and use their further to make clothes, even eating the meat of extinct animals and don’t care whether the food is delious or not, only because it is rare and not easily available. Which definitely leads to the extinction of certain animals. On the other hand, with the development of civilization, people should acknowledge that every creature has its right to live. Which guaranteea the harmony of the earth. Thus people need to show their respect to the animals and let them live better instead of hurting them or killing them. This behavior should be forbidden in today’s civilized circumstance.
In conclusion, presently animals are no longer regarded as sources of food and clothing. In stead, animals are people’s close friends who can company people especially to the olders who always like rearing the pets with whose company the olders don’t feel lonely any more. For those animals who are disapearing, people need to pay more attention to them to aviod their extinction. Otherwise people could only see them in museum, not in the nature. What a pity.
