作文是英語高考的重頭戲,每年作文的類型和主題也不盡相同,作文分數(shù)的高低也直接影響著英語成績的高低,因此英文作文的備考也就成了每年英語備考的重點之一。下面我就不同的文體來講解一下如何打造高分英語作文:
一、各種類型作文的特點
★圖表作文
1.仔細審題,看懂圖表的意思,整理要點,決定語言形式;
2.開頭直截了當,盡 快入題,不要拐彎抹角,拖泥帶水;
3.行文一般以10個句子為宜。若用少于8句話來表達,句子容易表達不清;若用多于10句話來描述,則句子零亂與瑣碎,文章缺乏整體感;
4.用最有把握的詞語句型將規(guī)定內(nèi)容加以表達,并根據(jù)圖表大意議論;
5.應按照合理順序,適當使用一些過渡性的連接詞,將句子連珠成串;
6.結(jié)尾要干凈利落,既不能拉雜,也不能草率,要顯得自然,恰當?shù)皿w。
★提示議論文
文章開頭,能依據(jù)提示確立主題句(topic)闡明觀點或看法;使用連接詞分層次說明理由、緣由(supporting sentences);歸納總結(jié),首尾呼應。做到論點正確無誤;論據(jù)可靠充分。論據(jù)可以是人們公認的真理,也可以是經(jīng)過實踐考證的經(jīng)典著作;論證合理嚴密。常用論證法有歸納法、推理法、對比法。
★記敘文
一般說來有時間、地點、人物、事件、原因和結(jié)果六要素,寫作時要明白清楚地給予表達。記人時,要注意介紹人物的身世、經(jīng)歷和事跡等。敘事時要描寫事情發(fā)生與發(fā)展的過程。
★應用文
主要以寫信為主。英文書信由6個部分組成。它們是信頭、信內(nèi)地址、稱呼、正文、結(jié)束語、簽字。格式一定要正確。信的正文和寫文章一樣,要分段寫,每一段有一個中心思想。
二、四步打造高分英語作文
Step1:確定文體
常用文體有記敘文、說明文,還有應用文如書信等。近幾年的高考書面表達多以應用文為主,提供的形式多以圖畫、提綱、表格出現(xiàn),書寫的格式大都是書信、通知。所以,考生還應該掌握信的稱呼、開頭、正文、結(jié)尾、簽名等方面,另外,口頭通知和書面通知的不同要清楚??傊忌鷳鶕?jù)寫作提示分析材料,確定文體,闖過第一關(guān)。
Step2:確定時態(tài)和人稱
考生要根據(jù)選好的文體和寫作內(nèi)容確定時態(tài)。一般來說,記人敘事多用一般過去時;發(fā)布通知多用一般將來時和祈使句式;發(fā)表議論大多用帶有情態(tài)動詞的一般現(xiàn)在時;人物介紹、現(xiàn)狀說明常用一般現(xiàn)在時和現(xiàn)在完成時。定準時態(tài)后接下來一定要知道各時態(tài)的構(gòu)成及用法要點,但要記住,寫作時時態(tài)并不惟一,要依據(jù)表達內(nèi)容而選定。
Step3:確定所需主要詞匯和所用表達結(jié)構(gòu)
在以上“兩確定”的基礎上,應該根據(jù)文章體裁和內(nèi)容逐個地確定寫作要點。對于圖畫和圖表可在草稿紙上用中文列出。理清要點,然后選詞造句,對列出的要點逐一翻譯。這時要注意力求語言準確得當。平時寫作要多進行發(fā)散思維,如是用very sorry還是terribly sorry;是surprised還是astonished。同時考生應學會盡可能使用較高級的語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯,如非謂語動詞、復合句等。最大限度地完美文章。
Step4:整理成篇 行文連貫
接下來要根據(jù)內(nèi)容分清文章的層次,確定詳略,將寫好的單句要重新排列組合起來,使之前后連貫成一篇完整的文章。同時選用恰當?shù)年P(guān)聯(lián)詞使文章過渡自然,行文流暢。另外,根據(jù)內(nèi)容編排,該分段時要分段,使表達清楚,一目了然。行云流水,整齊劃一,闖過寫作第四關(guān)。
