TEM-4--作文指导

1TEM-4作文指导第一节作文考试题简介一、试题介绍全国英语专业四级考试(TEM-4)中的作文考试由AB两部分构成，其中A部分规定时间为35分钟，要求写一篇大约200个单词的短文；B部分要求写一份60个单词左右的便条、通知或请帖。这里只讨论A部分的写作注意事项及技巧。考试大纲要求写作各类体裁的短文，但以写作说明文或论说文为主，不排除写作记叙文和描写文的可能。作文考试的测试目标：按所给标题、话题或其它要求写作，内容充实、语言通顺、用词恰当、表达得体。二、评分要点作文考试题的总分为15分。按五个档次给分：第五档的分值为15-14分；第四档为13-12分；第三档为11-9分；第二档为8-6分；第一档为5-3分。阅卷者先确定某篇作文的档次，然后给出具体分数。在作文的审题、结构、论证、语言四大方面内容中，任何一方面出现严重问题，都可能导致不及格。写作虽属主观题，但对语言基本功的考察是全面的，好坏一览无余，方方面面都会产生有利或不利印象，如字迹、标点符号、大小写、单词拼写、遣词造句等等。目前写作考试仍是人工阅卷，长时间阅卷容易使人疲劳，所以有阅卷教师将一种“高效的工作法”总结为“一点、一线、一段”的阅卷模式：一点，是指紧扣题目要求，始终围绕明确的中心论点写作，不离题或偏题；一线，是指文章的组织结构与前后衔接要自然，对确定的论点进行几方面论述时要有明确标记；一段，是指考察语言质量时，可能随机抽取第二段起的任何一段细读。三、注意事项1.写作考试不是平常练笔，不能想写什么就写什么，想怎么写就怎么写，想写到哪儿就写到哪儿，必须根据题目来写，即必须审题。要舍得花时间构思、写提纲。2.历年的写作题表明：题目一般是与大学生密切相关的话题，人人都会有话可说，但视野要宽，角度要高；不能陈词滥调，要有血有肉。3.作文的论题一般都很正式，要用正规的书面语，不要使用太多的口头词语，要保证作文的文体恰当。4.作文题目通常由三部分组成：第一部分提供话题与背景信息；第二部分是对文章的结构要求；第三部分是对内容、结构、语法、用词四个方面的评分说明。第二、三部分基本固定，重点要理解好第一部分。25.作文基本上是由三部分组成，有点八股式文章的味道，但第二部分一般要分段；关键是要在这种刻板式的框架内写出有血有肉的内容来。6.卷面的整洁很重要，会影响总体印象；字迹的公正与字体的大小适当也很要紧；200个单词，一般不会去数，20个词的出入一般不会扣分。第二节作文题型举例一、近年考过的作文题1.2009TEM-4TourismisaboomingbusinessinChina.However,somepeopleworrythattoomanytouristsmaybringharmtotheenvironment,whileothersdon'tthinkso.Whatisyouropinion?WriteonANSWERSHEETTHREEacompositionofabout200wordsonthefollowingtopic:WillTourismBringHarmtotheEnvironment?Youaretowriteinthreeparts.Inthefirstpart,statespecificallywhatyouropinionis.Inthesecondpart,provideoneortworeasonstosupportyouropinion.Inthelastpart,bringwhatyouhavewrittentoanaturalconclusionormakeasummary.Markswillbeawardedforcontent,organization,grammarandappropriateness.Failuretofollowtheinstructionsmayresultinalossofmarks.2.2008TEM-4December5thisInternationalVolunteersDay.Since1985,whentheUnitedNationsannouncedthespecialday,tensofmillionsofpeoplearoundtheworldhavevolunteeredtohelpthoseinneed.Chinanowhas4.5millionregisteredvolunteerswhohaveprovidedmorethan4.5billionhoursofvolunteerwork.Whatcanyougainfromvolunteering?WriteonANSWERSHEETTWOacompositionofabout200wordsonthefollowingtopic:TheBenefitsofVolunteering3.2007TEM-4NowadaystheInternethasbecomepartofpeople’slife,andmillionsofyoungpeoplehavemadefriendsonline.3WriteonANSWERSHEETTWOacompositionofabout200wordsonthefollowingtopic:IsItWisetoMakeFriendsOnline?4.2006TEM-4RecentlyaBeijinginformationcompanydidasurveyofstudentlifeamongmorethan700studentsinBeijing,Guangzhou,Xi'an,Chengdu,Shanghai,Wuhan,NanjingandShenyang.Theresultshaveshownthat67percentofstudentsthinkthatsavingmoneyisagoodhabitwhiletherestbelievethatusingtomorrow'smoneytodayisbetter.Whatdoyouthink?WriteonANSWERSHEETTWOacompositionsofabout200words.Youaretowriteinthreeparts.Inthefirstpart,statespecificallywhatyouopinionisInthesecondpart,supportyouropinionwithappropriatedetail.Inthelastpart,bringwhatyouhavewrittentoanaturalconclusionorasummary.Youshouldsupplyanappropriatetitleforyoucomposition.5.2005TEM-4TheStudents’Unionofyouruniversityisplanningtoholdanartsfestivalnextsemester,andtheyareinvitingstudentstocontributetheirideasandsuggestionsastohowitshouldbeorganizedorwhatshouldbeincluded.WriteonANSWERSHEETTWOacompositionofabout200wordsonthefollowingtopic:MyIdeaofaUniversityArtsFestival6.2004TEM-4Nowadaysyoungpeopletendtophonemoreoftenthanwritetoeachother.So,somesaythatphoneswillkillletterwriting.Whatisyouropinion?WriteonANSWERSHEETONEacompositionofabout150wordsonthefollowingtopic:WillPhonesKillLetterWriting?7.2003TEM-44Peopleinmodernsocietyliveunderalotofpressure,fromeducation,career,orfamily.Soitisimportantforthemtokeepagoodmoodunderwhatevercircumstances.WriteonANSWERSHEETONEacompositionofabout150wordsonthefollowingtopic:TheImportanceofKeepingaGoodMood8.2002TEM-4Nowadayspeoplearebecomingincreasinglyawareoftheimportanceofhealth.Andtheyhavedifferentwaystostayhealthy.Forexample,someexerciseeveryday;otherstrytokeepabalanceddiet.Whatdoyouthinkisthebestwaytostayhealthy?WriteonANSWERSHEETONEacompositionofabout150wordsonthefollowingtopic:TheBestWaytoStayHealthy9.2001TEM-4Travelhasbecomepartofourlife.Andmoreandmoreofushavecometoknowthesignificanceoftravelthroughourownexperience.WriteonANSWERSHEETONEacompositionofabout150wordsonthefollowingtopic:TravelBroadenstheMind10.2000TEM-4Collegelifeshouldbevariedandcolorful.Andextracurricularactivitiesareanimportantaspectofit.However,atpresent,thereismuchroomforimprovementinthisregard.WriteonANSWERSHEETONEacompositionofabout150wordsonthefollowingtopic:TheImportanceofExtracurricularActivities二、可作参考的分类作文题1.CampusandCourses1)ShouldUniversityStudentsBeRequiredtoLiveinDormitories?2)MorningExercisetoUniversityStudents…53)MultimediaandInternetTechnologyinUniversityClassroomTeaching4)HonestyContractbeforeExaminations(PlagiarisminGraduationThesis)5)LearningEnglishatHomeorAbroad(ChineseinEnglishClasses)6)ShouldAthleticTalentBeCredittoUniversityEnrollment?7)DoesEverybodyNeedEnglishinChina?8)OptionalCoursesatUniversity(Theoretical;Academicetc)9)AcademicPressureonStudentHealth10)FurtherStudiesorFindingaJob2.SocialIssues1)AdvantagesandDisadvantagesofRaisingPets2)TrafficcongestionsandPrivateCars3)TheImpactof
