審題:
這篇文章的結構與我們前面所學的稍有不同,主要是第二個段落,這個段落不是要求寫原因,而是要給出自己的評論。對于本文來說,就是對算命這一事件給出自己的看法。
Sample:
In the above picture, a student goes to a fortune teller to ask whether she will succeed or not in the coming College Entrance Examination. It is obvious that the drawer wishes all of us to ponder over this social phenomenon, which is becoming more and more common nowadays.
I myself see no point in going to a fortune teller. First, life is always full of accidents and coincidences, and how can the fortune teller know a person’s life route exactly? Second, if we knew our fortune and believed it, we would only wait for it to happen—when life is deprived of challenges and surprises, is it still worth living?
To eliminate fortune tellers we have to persuade people not to go to them any longer. To begin with, we should explain why fortune telling is unreliable, and why finding a forture teller is a waste of time and energy. What’s more important, we should help people understand that everyone is the architect of his own future—only through diligence and persistence can he realize his dreams.
The meaning of life lies largely in the process of struggle and endurance. We have to improve our education to help young people fight for their ideals so as to forget fortune telling.
點評:
該文共分為四段來寫作。第一段分為兩句,第一句對圖畫進行描述——可以用直接引語,也可以用間接引語,其中直接引語更為常見。而后一句是承上啟下的過渡句。
第二段首句表達了對該現(xiàn)象否定的態(tài)度,而后分為兩個方面來說,各有一句話。第一句話是個并列句,后半部分使用了反問句。第二句話很復雜,前面是條件狀語從句,使用了虛擬語氣描述了與現(xiàn)實相反的情形,而后創(chuàng)造性地使用了破折號表示遞進,而后是時間狀語從句加上反問句,效果非常強烈——當人生失去了挑戰(zhàn)和驚奇,它還值得活嗎?
第三段提出了消除這一現(xiàn)象的辦法,分為兩個方面。
最后一段下結論,分兩句話。第一句話說明了一條永恒的真理——生命的意義很大程度上在于奮斗和忍耐的過程,第二句話引到本文主題上——只有我們提高教育幫助年輕人為自己的理想而奮斗才能使他們忘記算命。
心得:
我們發(fā)現(xiàn)在范文中句子的復雜程度較高,包含了較多的并列句和復合句,即使是簡單句,有的也很復雜。下面以第三段為例來說明。該段第二句是個并列句,句中有兩個由疑問詞why引導的賓語從句。第三句前半部分的賓語從句中是一句頗具哲理的諺語,后面使用了破折號,之后是個only引導的倒裝句。

Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should:

審題:
在寫作中,審題這個環(huán)節(jié)是非常重要的。在圖畫作文中,我們不僅要仔細審視圖畫,而且還應將英文的提綱看清楚。這篇文章配了雙圖,雙圖多是表示對比關系,這里是凸顯時間的先后。提綱包括三個部分:描寫圖畫、闡釋含義和指出后果,這就決定了我們文章的結構走向。
Sample:
Two pictures above describe a story which we would never wish to encounter. In the first one, a large crowd gathered around a man lying on the ground. One person said, “He seems to be drunk.” Another whispered, “His head and hands seem to be bleeding.” In the second picture, a policeman is asking those who were present, “Why didn’t send him to hospital?” The first one said, “I was hurrying to work.” The second one said, “I was hurrying to school.”
It is quite obvious that the drawer wishes to draw our attention to this most unfavorable social phenomenon. Many people are used to finding all kinds of excuses to shirk their responsibilities of helping those who are in need of help. In their eyes, their own daily businesses are always more important than those of the strangers, even their lives.
This phenomenon will bring a series of harmful consequences. First, when people refuse to take care of the strangers, the danger of accidents will be much higher, because you have only a small group of people to rely on whenever emergency arises. Everyone may come across accidents from time to time, and mutual help will prevent most of them from being destructive. Second, the possibility of attaining a happy life will be much smaller. If everyone only takes his own interests into consideration in face of big events, the society will be full of selfish people. The social cost of achieving success will remain high before cooperation becomes a habit.
If any one of us wants to enjoy a happy and secure life, we have to be prepared to extend our helping hands to others including strangers, for helping others is equal to helping ourselves.
點評:
這篇文章最終寫成了四段,結構非常清晰。第一段分別描寫了兩副圖畫,語言簡潔流暢。注意這一段不宜過長。
第二段是測度作者的意圖,共三句話,第一句是一個經(jīng)典句型:It is quite obvious that the drawer wishes to draw our attention to... 這句話直指圖畫所揭示的社會現(xiàn)象,后面兩句來具體說明:先說許多人千方百計找理由以逃避幫助他人;然后解釋原因,他們認為……注意段中句子之間的邏輯關系,這是非常重要的。
第三段寫了該現(xiàn)象引起的有害的后果,該段的首句是個經(jīng)典的模板句,后分兩點來說明。第一點說明當人們不愿意幫助他人時,事故所造成的危險就會大得多,因為那樣的話每個人能依靠的人(即親人和朋友)是非常有限的。這一點的第二句話是個難句,展現(xiàn)了很強的句子內(nèi)部的邏輯,希望大家用心學習。這句話的意思是:每個人都會遇到事故,而相互幫助可以避免大部分的事故造成毀滅性的后果。到這里,我們可以看出,思想是由語言表達的,要想深刻地表達思想,一定要多模仿、多操練。第二點是從更廣闊的角度去考慮問題,說明獲得幸福生活的可能性減小了。社會充滿了自私的人們,獲得成功的社會成本陡增。
末段是結語——如果我們想要享受幸福的生活,我們應向他人(包括陌生人)伸出援手。
第二段的第二句中的shirk one?s responsibility表示“逃避責任”。第三段第二句的emergency表示“緊急情況”。第三句的destructive表示“造成重大損害的”。第五句的in face of表示“面臨”。最后一句的cooperation becomes a habit表示“合作成為一種習慣”。
心得:
1.文章的結構層次一定要清楚,這是充分理解提綱與圖畫構成語境的結果。
2.學習寫作主從復合句,充分理解句子內(nèi)部的邏輯關系。通過本文,重點學習條件狀語從句。
典型的條件狀語從句:If everyone only takes his own interests into consideration in face of big events, the society will be full of selfish people.
嵌套原因狀語從句的條件狀語從句:If any one of us wants to enjoy a happy and secure life, we have to be prepared to extend our helping hands to others including strangers, for helping others is equal to helping ourselves.

審題:
提綱包含了三個部分,這篇文章可以分為四段來寫,其中末段是結語。真實寫作中前三段可以與提綱有明顯的對應關系,這樣的安排思路清晰,易于把握。
Sample:
In the pictures, we see clearly a person who claims to begin his grand scheme tomorrow. In the first picture, he claims that he will begin tomorrow because he is not yet well prepared today. In the second picture, when tomorrow really comes, he again says he will begin later because he is not feeling well at the moment.
What can we say at seeing such pictures? We can always find excuses for our mistakes, failures and inaction, but how can we make real progress in our life? We will never ever grow up if we keep on finding excuses instead of looking directly into the matter, analyzing the situation objectively and taking action as soon as possible.
Delay has a lot of bad consequences. In many cases, we will lose the chance to succeed forever. Time is limited, and so are youth and enthusiasm. When we form a plan, we should always try our best to put it into practice immediately. We should not worry about failure, because we can always learn from it. Only if we keep on trying and never stop, will we make progress and eventually turn our dream into reality.
The important thing in life is to have a great aim and the determination to attain it. Without action, a great aim will be nothing more than a castle in the air.
點評:
第一段分別描述了兩幅圖畫,獨特之處在于首先將兩副圖畫的共同之處提取出來——描寫一個人說明天就要開始宏偉的計劃,而后分別描述兩副圖畫的不同之處——這樣做的好處是使段落的條理清晰。
第二段的首句使用了設問句,一下子引起了讀者的興趣,而后自己給出答案——我們總是能為錯誤、失敗和無行動找到理由,可是我們又怎能取得進步呢?這個句子中使用了平行的名詞和反問句,效果強烈,非常引人注目。該段第三句進一步說明,使用instead of強化了對比關系——如果一直尋找借口而不是直接查清事實、客觀分析情況和盡快采取行動的話,我們永遠也無法成長。注意句中否定意義的表達:
We will not grow up if...
We will never grow up if...
We will never ever grow up if...
在上述三種表達方式中,我們可以看出,最后一種不僅語氣強烈,而且極富韻律。
第三段先說了拖延的壞處,而后說了我們正確的做法。
最后一段做結,共兩句話。第一句是引用了歌德的名言,而第二句是反過來說——如果沒有行動,偉大的目標就只能是空中樓閣。
心得:
要想寫好文章,就要先寫好句子,再寫好段落。文章大的結構的確定是不難的,關鍵是寫好單個的句子后再將它們有機地組成完美流暢的段落。
第三段就是一個好的例子,這一段分成兩個部分,各有三句話,有機地結合在了一起。第一句先是講拖延有很多壞處,第二句直接解釋第一句——在很多情況下,我們就永遠失去了成功的機會。注意這句話的寫法,首先,使用in many cases表示“在很多情況下”,顯得客觀,因為不是所有的情形均是如此。其次,使用forever表示“永遠”,加強了語氣,并且恰如其分地指出了人生的悲愴,點出了韶華易逝的真諦。第三句是對第二句的補充說明——時間是有限的,青春和激情也是如此(句子的后部使用了倒裝)。第四句筆鋒一轉(zhuǎn),說明我們一旦有了計劃,應當全力以赴立即將其付諸實踐,注意這里使用了immediately,是反過來與該段的第一句話進行呼應。第五句說明我們不該擔心失敗,因為我們總能從中學到東西。末句是以only開頭的倒裝句,說明行動和結果之間的關系,語氣很強。

審題:
這篇文章的提綱與2002真題類似,屬于最晦澀的一種,但是經(jīng)過仔細分析后,我們將發(fā)現(xiàn)文章結構并不難把握,一種好的選擇是——第一段描述圖畫,第二段對繪畫者的意圖進行推測,第三段對第二段做進一步說明,第四段下結論。
這里面至關重要的是第二段與第三段的關系。通常的情況是前一段就事論事或泛泛而論,后一段進行概括總結、提煉升華。
Sample:
This picture sets me thinking for a long time. The parents themselves are playing mahjong, but they are telling their little child loudly: “Work hard. Don’t let us down.”
The drawer reminds us of a common social phenomenon. Nowadays, more and more parents wish children to study hard in order to embrace a brilliant future, but many of them do not know how to turn this dream into reality. We come across many parents who ask their children to attend all kinds of training classes, but is it that important in the making of a good student and later a successful person?
What is really important, according to the drawer, should be something else. That is the environment created by the parents and felt by the child. How can a child grow up into a scientist who loves research when the noise of playing mahjong is always there? Actions always speak louder than words. If parents turn off TV and family cinema, stop all noisy games and get down to reading quietly, the positive impact on the child will be considerable. In the years to come, the child will gradually learn concentration, which is an essential part of the learning process.
Across the nation, parents are investing more and more money on the education of their child. If they have a closer look on the learning process, they will know what is important is often how they behave, not how much money they spend.
點評:
首段的描述非常簡潔,與眾不同的是第一句話——這兩副畫讓我思忖良久。
第二段的首句是一個常用的模板句,非常有效。第二句話說許多家長望子成龍,卻不知如何實現(xiàn)這個期望。而后舉了一個例子,許多家長讓孩子參加這樣那樣的培訓班,但是這在孩子成材的過程中就那么重要嗎?
第三段是文章的關鍵段落。該段首句是過渡句,引出了下面的關鍵句子——重要的是環(huán)境,是父母創(chuàng)造孩子感知的環(huán)境。而后使用反問句——當一直有麻將聲時,一個孩子怎樣能成長為熱愛研究的科學家呢?而后使用諺語——行勝于言。如果父母關掉電視,開始讀書,對孩子的正面影響將是巨大的。最后說在以后的數(shù)年中,孩子將會逐漸學會集中精力。
最后一段做結,分兩句。第一句寫父母大量投資在孩子的教育上面。第二句表示遞進,如果父母仔細審視學習的過程,那么他們將知道,重要的是他們的行為,而不是投入的錢。
心得:
句子中的好的用法一定要日積月累,這很重要。第三段的首句中有插入語的用法。第二句有名詞由兩個平行的過去分詞短語修飾的用法。第三句中的when the noise of playing mahjong is always there是個精彩用法,表示“一直有噪音”,如果說沒有噪音,可以說when the noise is down。第四句是個諺語,需要平時積累,注意使用時務求準確。第五句在條件狀語從句中,有平行的動賓結構。本段最后一句中in the years to come是個好詞組,表示“在將要到來的數(shù)年中”,之后有非限制性定語從句的用法。

審題:
這篇文章的提綱是圖畫作文另一種非常典型的提綱,在描述圖畫后分別給出該現(xiàn)象(或問題)的原因及其解決辦法。這里在提綱中雖沒有出現(xiàn)interpret the meaning(闡釋含義)的字樣,實際上這個步驟是不可少的,但可以做得極為簡潔。
Sample:
In this picture we are surprised to see a group of fat children who want to lose weight at a dieting center. We can’t help asking such a question: why are there so many over?weighted young children in present society?
In my belief, many reasons contribute to this undesirable result, but three of them play the dominant role. In the first place, with the development of national economy, people’s living level becomes higher and higher. Grandparents and parents devote all their love to the young children, who consequently often take in much more nutrition than necessary. In the second place, more and more young boys and girls are even addicted to foreign snacks, which contain too much fat and thus do great harm to the heart and the vessels. Last but by no means the least, pressure from teachers, parents and the whole society often leaves little time for small children to take part in physical exercises.
To solve this worrying problem, all of us should take immediate and effective measures. First, a balanced and healthy diet is often the most important factor in the making of a strong body. In this aspect, teachers and parents should do their jobs. Second, exercises should become part of their daily life—once children get used to sports, they will find it not only beneficial but also interesting.
All of us have realized the children are the future of our nation, and we should also realize that healthy minds always dwell in healthy bodies. To fulfill this goal, all of us should work hard.
點評:
該文章仍然是四個段落。第一段非常引人注目,只用了一句話便完成了對圖畫的描寫,還加入了表達作者心情的部分(be surprised to see)。段落中的第二句話非常關鍵,是將圖畫總結為一個大家都該來關注的社會問題——兒童的肥胖問題。第二句話的作用相當于對畫圖人意圖的測度,只不過由于提綱的要求,這里沒有單獨成段,而是放到了第一段。
第二段與第三段嚴格按照提綱來寫,分別寫原因和解決辦法,段落的首句都是非常精彩的模板句。第二段首句的寫法請大家用心揣摩——既顯得全面(句子的前半部分),又不失重點(句子的后半部分)。該段之后分為三點來寫,第一點兩句話由淺入深,脈絡清晰。先寫隨著國民經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展,人民生活水平提高了——這句話是常常用到的經(jīng)典句子,大家應熟練掌握。然后寫祖父母和父母將愛都傾注在孩子們身上,導致孩子們常常營養(yǎng)過剩。該句中大家應首先掌握非限制性定語從句的寫法,該從句的拓展性非常好,能避免連寫句(run?on sentence)這樣的常見錯誤。之后大家應學習詞組devote...to...和more than necessary的用法。第二點講越來越多的孩子沉溺于洋快餐。注意句中be addicted to和非限制性定語從句的用法。句中有一個難詞thus(副詞),這里表示結果。第三點講述了孩子缺乏鍛煉的原因——該句使用了特殊的句型結構,有助于我們拓展思路,注意學習leave little/no time for someone to do something的結構。
第三段分兩點來說解決問題的辦法。第一點說平衡健康的飲食是至關重要的,這句話中的making是個閃光點,表示“造就……的過程”。后面一句中的do one?s jobs等于take on one?s responsibility。第二點中使用了破折號,后面是時間狀語從句,注意get used to(習慣于)和not only...but also...的用法。句子中出現(xiàn)了part的用法,注意這里不能加冠詞,否則不僅不能加分,還要扣分。再舉一例,大家細細體會:
Learn the phrase by heart until it becomes part of you.
這是表達效果很強的用法,文中的句子表示體育鍛煉應成為他們?nèi)粘I畹囊徊糠?,意思是成為了一種習慣。上面這句話表示將該詞組熟記以至于永遠熟練掌握。
最后一段使用了強勢的推導方式,先找到對方(讀者)認同的基本觀點(孩子是國家的未來),而后推導出文中的重要觀點(健康的心靈存在于健康的體魄)。第二句將目的狀語放在句首,我們要做的工作放在后面,非常簡潔。
心得:
對提綱的把握非常關鍵,我們應該做到看到提綱后立即對文章全文的構造有個全面的想法。
末段呼應前文的方式多種多樣,不一定是嚴格地將文章中所述的思想再簡單地重復一遍。
對于文章中的詞組和句型,好的學習方法是將它們摘錄下來,反復地進行多感官操練(眼、耳、口、手、心并用),這樣我們的學習效率就能大大提高了。

Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should:

審題:
這篇文章的結構很清晰,可分為三段來寫,分別是描述圖畫、說明原因和給出解決辦法。
Sample:
In the first picture, a beggar says, “Have pity on me,please. I am old. I am blind.” In the second picture, he is eating to his heart’s content in a big restaurant. He tells the waiter, “Another fish, please.” We can say he is in fact a man with bright eyes.
These two pictures remind us of such a group of people who don’t want to work to earn a living. Instead, they disguise themselves as beggars to make easy money. The reason for this phenomenon is rather obvious. In such a society full of competitions, some people do not want to use their own hands to make a fortune. They also can not bear a poor life, so they make such a shameful choice.
To solve this problem, the government and the common people should join their hands. On the one hand, the government should issue policies to take care of those people who are really in need of help. Those fake beggars should be educated and punished in order that they give up begging and live a decent life. On the other hand, common citizens should also extend helping hands. They should report such made?up beggars to the police as soon as possible. If they can help such people learn skills, find jobs and live a normal life, it should be much better.
點評:
首段描述了兩幅圖畫。
次段的前兩句對圖畫所描述的群體做了總結——第一句話同時使用了remind...of...和who引導的定語從句,是個很好的模板句。第二句話以instead開頭,凸顯了對比。此句中有disguise oneself as(偽裝為)和make easy money(輕松賺錢)兩個詞組,大家注意識記。之后對該現(xiàn)象做出了解釋。
第三段給出了解決辦法,從政府和公民兩方面來說(段首的模板句清晰地表明了這一點),非常有條理。
心得:
首段的描述中要將兩幅圖畫的對比描述出來。次段的圖畫總結和原因闡述采用了幾乎相同的推導方式(不想工作——偽裝騙錢;不想用辛勤勞動致富——做出了可恥的選擇),看來有呼應之感覺。末段結構的層次感是由模板句奠定下來的,讀來輕松流暢。

審題:
這道題包含兩幅對比鮮明的圖畫,指令要求在描述圖畫后闡明含義并給出該現(xiàn)象的原因。我們應該這樣來構造全文:第一段描述圖畫;第二段發(fā)表自己對圖畫的看法;第三段給出該現(xiàn)象的原因;第四段下結論,簡要提出解決問題的辦法。經(jīng)過學習之后,大家就會知道這是一個極為重要的模式,請大家用心掌握。
Sample:
As is depicted by the two pictures, a sharp contrast is shaped between the parents and the son. In the left drawing, the parents are working hard in the field, bending over and sweating heavily. Near them is a basket with very simple food in it. However, in the right drawing, their son is squandering the money on luxurious food and chatting on mobile phone.
How pitiful the parents are! They spare no efforts to earn money in order to support their son’s study and life in university. They seem to be willing to do everything that is helpful to their beloved son. But, in return, the son spends the money as he likes without knowing how hard his parents work for it and how he should use it to better prepare himself for future career.
In my opinion, the reasons for this phenomenon come down to one essential point—failure of both family and school education. For one thing, quite a lot of Chinese parents spoil their children. All parents’ love for children is the same, but different is the way of showing it. Many parents hope too much that their children will have a bright future, which, in their eyes, means key universities, hot majors, good salaries and so on. So they try their best to satisfy the children’s demands instead of teaching them to struggle for future with their own hands. For another, centered on exam marks, the school education also fails, to a large extent, to impart moral standards to the children, especially the conception of self?reliance and hard struggle.
In a word, to change the phenomenon described by the above pictures, a reform in our current education system is not only necessary but urgent.
點評:
第一段的重點是在描述時突出兩幅圖畫之間強烈的反差,所以這里專門加上了第一句話。這一段在用詞上也很考究。第二段強烈地表達了自己的感想。首句使用了感嘆句。而后先說父母竭盡全力掙錢供孩子讀書,后說孩子不知父母辛苦,不懂得如何正確利用父母的血汗錢。第三段給出了該現(xiàn)象的原因——家庭和學校教育的失敗,而后分為兩方面來說,結構極為清晰。最后一段只有一句話,擲地有聲——要想改變現(xiàn)狀,只能改革當前的教育體系。
心得:
全文一氣呵成,讀來倍感暢快。從描述圖畫,到發(fā)表評論,到給出原因,再到解決辦法,可謂渾然一體。既有全局的考慮,又有細微處語言的運用,該文值得大家細細品味。

《西湖晨景》該題目非常簡潔,在提綱中已給出文章的主題,即越來越多的外國人喜愛在中國生活——在描述圖畫后,給出原因即可。
Sample:
What an attractive scene it is! On such a peaceful and beautiful morning by West Lake, a middle?aged foreigner is jogging—he is enjoying the fresh air, cool breeze and charming scenery. From this picture, we can see clearly that the foreigner enjoys life in this Chinese city, Hangzhou.
As a matter of fact, in the past few years, more and more foreigners have chosen to live in China. Some work here, some pursue their study in universities and even some join volunteer activities in China. The reasons why more and more foreigners like to live in China can be listed as follows. To begin with, since China’s reform and opening?up in 1978, our country has witnessed great progress in nearly all aspects of the society, especially in economy, which provides a far better environment of working, investing and studying for foreigners. Second, economic globalization has made cultural blending possible and necessary. Foreigners have come to know more and more about Chinese culture and become influenced by it, which has formed the important basis of their living in China. Last but not the least, it is obvious that with every effort we have made in environmental protection, our country has become a place more and more suitable and pleasant to live in.
In my opinion, the arrival of foreigners brings more chances and opportunities of economic development. So why not seize such chances to embrace our bright future?
點評:
第一段描述圖畫。這一段寫得非常精彩,先以感嘆句開頭,而后描述圖畫,最后小結——這位外國人喜愛在杭州的生活。
第二段前兩句總結了外國人來我國的現(xiàn)象。第三句是原因類的模板句,而后分三點來說:第一點是說改革開放后我國經(jīng)濟發(fā)展迅速,給外國人提供了很好的工作、投資和學習環(huán)境;第二點是說經(jīng)濟全球化促進文化融合——外國人對中國文化了解更多,這構成了他們在中國生活的重要基礎;第三點是說環(huán)境保護效果顯著,居住條件自然改善了。
最后一段說外國人的到來帶到了更多的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的機會,所以為什么不抓住這些機會來擁抱我們美好的明天呢?
心得:
要寫出好文章,首先要對文章的基本結構非常熟悉,而后再做出一些變化,這些變化通常就是亮點。比如第一段先使用了一個感嘆句,立即吸引了讀者的注意力。第三段第二句使用了反問句,效果非常強烈。

《招員工七名》 這篇文章關注的是當前重要的就業(yè)難問題。它的要求非常明確,在描述圖畫后,先給出原因,再給出解決辦法,這是非常常見的文章模式。
Sample:
The recruiting fair in the above drawing is filled with young graduates each holding a pile of resumes in their hands. Around a desk in the front of the drawing, there are dozens of students waiting to hand in their resumes but only seven are wanted by the company as is written on a board beside the desk.
It is clear that the drawer wants to draw our attention to the difficulty that today’s university graduates are faced with in finding a job. In fact, in many universities and colleges, the employment rate of graduates is lower than 50% and much fewer can find a satisfactory job. The reasons for this situation can be listed as follows. In the first place, the enrolment expansion of universities and colleges has resulted in a great increase in the number of graduates every year, which has exceeded the increase in positions in the job market. What makes things worse is that quite a lot of students like to choose those hot majors when they enter the university and to look for jobs in big developed cities when they graduate. So it is even more difficult for them to find a suitable job.
From my point of view, the society and the graduates need to join their hands in the endeavor to solve this problem. On the one hand, the society should continue to focus on economic development so as to provide bigger employment chances for the graduates. On the other hand, the students should choose the majors that they are really interested in and well capable of and broaden their horizon when looking for jobs. Only in this way can they gain larger space for their future career.

審題:
在審題的環(huán)節(jié)中,我們應當將讀圖表(圖畫)和看提綱有機地結合起來。有的時候,提綱中會把文章的主題直接給出來,這時我們文章的整體布局就會容易得多。在這道題的提綱中,就出現(xiàn)了“中國大學學費負擔沉重的問題”的字樣,這就是該文的主題,我們的文章應該圍繞它展開。
Sample:
From the above table we can see that in America and Britain the ratio of average annual tuition of universities to gross national income per capita is about 1 to 10, but astonishingly that in China is 1. That is to say, the burden of university tuition on Chinese families is nearly ten times heavier than that on American or British families. As a matter of fact, most Chinese families feel it difficult to afford the high tuition of their children, and some absolutely cannot afford it, which has received more and more concern from all over the country.
In order to solve this problem, I strongly suggest the following solutions. First and foremost, it is a must to reduce the cost of higher education. We need to cut down the staff in universities, most of whom now have a disproportionately large number of administrators. The now widespread corruption should also be eliminated in universities, such as unnecessary tours and banquets at public expense. Moreover, much importance should be attached to the reform of management system of higher education. The national government should not only increase financial investment in higher education but also optimize the distribution of such money.
To sum up, it is high time to pay enough attention to the problem of the heavy burden of university tuition in our country, and to solve it a comprehensive educational reform is essential.
點評:
該文共分三段,第一段是描述表格,第二段是給出解決辦法,第三段是總結。
第一段是對表格進行描述——這時我們不一定要把每個數(shù)據(jù)都描述出來,而是要抓住問題的關鍵。這個表格的關鍵就是體現(xiàn)我國大學學費太高,依據(jù)就是學費與國民人均年收入之比。美國與英國處于差不多的水平,所以放在一起說就可以了。該段共分三句話,第一句將比例描述出來,第二句作出比較——中國家庭負擔的大學學費是英美國家的十倍之多。第三句進一步說明我國大部分家庭感覺負擔較重,有些家庭根本就負擔不起。
第二段提出解決辦法,第一句是模板句,之后分兩方面來說。第一方面說的是減少高等教育的成本,分為兩個方面,一是減員增效,二是消除腐敗。第二方面說的是高教管理體制的改革。國家應加強高等教育的投資,并合理配置這些資金。
最后一段是總結,說解決大學學費成為沉重負擔問題正值其時,全面改革勢在必行。
心得:
提綱中如果出現(xiàn)文章主題,一定要把握住,這直接決定了文章的謀篇布局。
描述圖表時不一定要面面俱到,只要抓住重點即可。
寫原因或解決辦法的段落時條理一定要清楚,一般分為三點(也有兩點或四點的情況),不一定是權威的解釋,我們并非是專門研究該問題的專家,閱卷老師也不會太苛求,只要符合情理即可。關鍵是語言表達一定要準確,如果要拿高分就一定要有出彩的地方。
