        2011年12月沪江英语四级统一线上模考作文
        Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of “What Makes a Good Teacher”. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.
        1) 好老师要有好的性格,比如耐心。
        2) 好老师要有足够的专业知识。
        3) 好老师应该是学生学习的典范。
        What Makes a Good Teacher
        参考范文:
        Firstly, a good teacher must have a high personal quality such as being patient to the students who have made some mistakes. Nobody can always do something correctly from the beginning. If a teacher punishes the students whenever they make mistakes, they may lose their confidence and be no more enthusiastic of their study.
        Secondly, a good teacher should always have qualified teaching ability. On one hand, the teacher should be familiar with a broad scope of different knowledge. On the other hand, he should go deep in his own field.
        Finally, a good teacher should set a good example to his students, and he must love his students and love his career as well. A teacher's characteristics will undoubtedly influence his students, especially their attitudes toward life and study. It's more important for a teacher to teach his students how to be an upright person than to teach them plain knowledge. And his attitudes towards teaching will affect the enthusiasm of the students for the study. An impassioned teacher can capture the attention of students; contrarily, nobody can stick out the class taught by an arid teacher.
        To possess every single quality above is by no means an easy job. A teacher is always known as a soul engineer, and teaching is the most important job of the world and also the most rewarding one.
        这个模考话题与03年1月的作文“It pays to be honest”类似,不同的是,03年讨论公民应具备的一种品格——“诚实”,公共群体应具备的公共道德素质,而这里讨论教师行业的职业道德素质。不论是公共道德素质还是职业道德素质,这类热点话题,与每个人的生活息息相关,可发散性强,阐发点多,内容并不难写。如何在考场上利用有限的时间将提纲所列要点转化成切中主题的文章,并且还能够简洁行文,言之有物,言之有理,才是难点所在。
        不同于四级模板作文中“现象解释型议论文”,例文并未罗列有关老师的社会现象,而是直接从老师应具备的素质入手,层层递进。第一段中,Nobody can always…from the beginning,将老师缺乏耐心的危害和影响用一句话概括,明白易懂,有说服力。第二段则巧妙地运用“on one hand… on the other hand”全面地点出老师应具备的专业知识。而前三段整体采用了主题句+支撑句的写法,其主题句均简明扼要地点题,支撑句则紧扣主题句充分议论说理,逻辑性强。例文还大胆摈弃实例,用一些普遍存在的问题进行强有力地论证。
        从内容上来看,提纲已经清晰列出需要写的要点包括“耐心(patience)”、“专业知识”(specialized knowledge),“学生学习的典范”,前两点具体明确,只有第三点稍显空泛,学生需要化抽象为具体。例文在此的处理方法是,将这一点转换成“老师性格会对学生产生巨大的影响”。尤其是第三段最后一句,从正反两方面入手,对比“an impassioned teacher”和“an arid teacher”教学效果的不同,全面严谨地论证了老师作为“典范”的力量和重要性。全文结尾嵌入的“soul engineer”一词,进一步论证了凭借三种素质“成为一个好老师”的必要性。
        另外,例文使用了一些亮点词组,值得考生学习、借鉴。比如,在谈到老师知识面的宽广时,用了scope一词,而像impassioned, arid这些词,考生在平时注重积累,运用到写作中则能显示出良好的语言功底。在句型上,undoubtedly, by no means,Nobody can always这些用法表达可以用于明确表明态度观点。
        例文行文大胆,无实例论证,全部说理,虽不失为一篇考场佳作,但要写出这样的文章,对考生的要求较高。因此,考生不必拘泥于例文形式,可在自己的写作中加入一些实例做支撑。细读这篇模考作文三个提纲要点,确有许多可发散之处。学生可举实例从多角度论证。反面论证如:就缺乏“耐心”联想到老师体罚学生;就“专业知识”不足,可举教授论文抄袭现象;就“学生学习的典范”这一点则可列举于丹教授、北大化学老师、复旦陈果老师等等。老师的作用如此重要,影响如此深远,例子不胜枚举,考生要注意安排内容,合理取舍,避免“下笔千言离题万里”;也要避免例子过多造成堆砌,篇幅过长,有取有舍,恰当点题即可。
        对于基础较薄弱、写作逻辑不太强的考生来说,套用一些常见的四级作文模板,也不失为一种好方法。例如,文章开始,先举一个和老师相关的引发争议的实例,提出社会对好老师的迫切需求。接着探讨好老师应具备的特点,行文中,段落与段落之间的逻辑可用“First of all, 论据1.-->More importantly, 论据2.-->Most important of all, 论据3. In summary, 总结观点”这一形式来展开。在举例论证时,可用For one thing, For another, Last but not the least等来衔接上下文。需注意的是,举例论证时,如果对一些现象或单词表述不确定,不要贸然使用,点到即可。考生也切忌追求各种复杂结构,却无法将自己想表达的观点融入该结构造成的语法错误,得不偿失。总之,考生应根据自己的写作水平,合理安排写作对策。最后考生应放松心态,牢记四级作文考试“万变不离其宗”。考试中如果遇到相关话题,可以该例文为基础,辅以例子,以备不时之需。
