关键词: 大学英语;　写作;　测试形式;　应试方法

短文写作是大学英语四、六级考试的一项重要内容,旨在测试考生运用英语书面表达思想的能力。然而,如何写好四、六级作文,提高写作成绩,不仅是考生所关心的问题,也是大学英语教师应该探讨的问题。笔者从事大学英语教学多年,对研究大学英语四、六级写作有一定的兴趣,2002年在《宜春学院学报》第五期发表了一篇题为《试论以段落为中心的大学英语写作教学》的论文。之后,总觉得还有些话没讲完,因此,萌发了写此作的念头,并作为对前篇的补充。但愿此作能给读者带来一份新的收获。

一、大学英语四、六级写作的测试形式
测试形式是指测试的方式和方法。考生在参加四、六级考试之前,熟知四、六级写作的各种测试形式,掌握其写作规律和特点,对充分发挥自己的写作水平和提高写作成绩是十分必要的。大学英语四、六级写作的测试形式主要有下列四种。

1. 段首句续写
例如:All of us experience failure every now and then..[1](P9-36)
2. 根据关键词写短文

例如: We Have Only One World
Key words and expressions:industry,pollution,destroy, problem,value,continue,regret, realize,result from,necessary, effective measure.[1](P9-36)

3. 规定情景作文
(1)采用提纲式。例如:Travel
其提纲为:A.旅行活动风靡全球;B.其主要原因是;C.旅行也是学习的好办法[1](P9-36)。
(2)采用其他方法。例如:Write a composition of no less than 120 words,introducing your university.You’re required to introduce its location,its history,its size,its departments and majors and equipment.[1](P9-36)

4. 看图表作文
例如:Changes in People’s Diet (1991年6月的四级写作题)
(1)State the changes in people’s diet in the past five years.
(2)Give possible reasons for the changes.
(3)Draw your own conclusions.

二、测试形式的对比分析
上述四种测试形式大致可以分为三类:段首句续写,根据关键词写短文,规定情景作文。看图表作文则介于第二类和第三类之间,因为图表中的内容、数字、图像相当于关键词,同时看图表作文又给出了中(英)文提纲。
段首句实际上是段落的主题(topic sentence)。段首句续写就是根据主题句的思想写出发展句(developing sentence)。具体说来,是围绕主题句中的致力点(controlling idea),为主题句的论点提供例证和细节。例如测试形式1 中的段首句可续写成:All of us experience failure every now and then.A merchant may fail in his business,a clerk may fail in his duty,and a student may fail in his examination.Failure or the threat of failure is something that we have to live with all our lives.[1](P9-36)
根据关键词写短文是把所给出的关键词连词造句、连句成段、连段成文。关键词包括词和词组。提供关键词实际上等于提供不完整的主题句和发展句。考生只要吃透这些词的关系,分清属于主题句的关键词和属于发展句的关键词,文章就好写,段落也自然得以正确划分。但应该注意的是,表达时不要打乱所给词的先后顺序,必须按原顺序依次组句,而且所给词必须全部用上。为了使文章衔接,可以加进并不包含所给的词的句子。如果关键词是按段给的,写起来就更为简单。段首句就是所给的第一个词或前几个词组成的句子。如测试形式2的写作题可写成下列三段:
When industries grow,pollution problems grow. Protecting the environment should be regarded as a very important thing.If we don’t,then we will destroy our only world.
Our pollution problems are many because we did not value the environment until recently.There is an old saying that goes,“You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.”If we continue to pollute,we will regret its loss.
Mankind must realize the consequences resulting from pollution.It is necessary to protect our natural environment. We must begin now to adopt effective measures.Only by doing this can we protect our only world.[1](P9-36)
规定情景作文的方法之一就是给出每段的中(英)文提纲。如果是中文提纲,考生首先得把每段的中文提纲提炼成一个有主谓结构的英文主题句,然后再对主题句进行续写。如果提纲为英语短语,则先要把这些短语分别扩充为一个结构完整的主题句,之后再对主题句进行续写。如测试形式3.(1)的中文提纲可分别提炼成下列英文主题句:
A.Travel has become a worldwide activity.
B.People travel for many reasons but perhaps the most common is travelling for pleasure.
C.Travel is al本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
