相对于引起大“吐槽”的四六级翻译,而写作相对来说题目难度不是很大,但是却一反常态不考图画作文,而是回归到了以前的论述性作文。四级作文Suppose a foreign friend of yours is coming to visit China/your hometown/campus, what is the first place you would like to take him/her to see and why?这一主题其实跟雅思口语题十分类似,雅思口语题库中有一个常考题就是介绍你的家乡。也说明四级写作更注重于实践作用,贴近生活。主题其实并不难,在写这篇作文的时候,只要首段点明地点,第二段点名选这个地点的原因,或是这个地点的特色之处,最后一段升华主题。整个作文只要整体逻辑严谨,句式顺畅,词语用的贴切到位,那么作文分数一定不会低。同理,下午的六级作文It is unwise to judge a person by appearance/to put all eggs into one basket/to jump to conclusions upon seeing or hearing something.观点评述类的写作。首段由抽象到具体,将题目中的谚语解释清楚,中间段可以引用具体的实力来论证这一观点,最后总结。
四级作文题目:
Suppose a foreign friend of yours is coming to visit China/your hometown/campus, what is the first place you would like to take him/her to see and why?
其中挑选hometown这个主题给出参考作文:
In metropolises, you can see a continual bustle of people coming and going. Thus, when foreign friends who come from places packed with traffic and modern architectures want to come to visit China, I would prefer to bring them to natural sceneries, for example, Lushan.
Lushan locates in the north of Jiangxi province, with rolling hills. First of all, the famous poet in China had wrote a poem about Lushan,”We can't get a good view of the mountain when we're standing in it.”It implicates that Lushan is known for its splendid landscape since the ancient age. Furthermore, because of its cool weather, especially in summer, Lushan become a resort for people to escape the summer heat. Accordingly, it is a place where people can release themselves. Thus, in our fast-paced and competitive society, natural sceneries which can slow down our life pace and allow us to reflect our lives and ourselves are strongly recommended to foreign friends
By and large, the move away from juggling to a simpler, slower lifestyle is a well-established trend. Hence, I’d like my foreign friends can free them from their busy lives while indulging in the beautiful sceneries of Lushan to have the visual feast.
这篇文章中最后一段第一句,其实套用了考研阅读中“放慢生活节奏”这篇文章的句子,原文是:“In America, the move away from juggling to a simpler, less materialistic lifestyle is a well-established trend. Downshifting — also known in America as “voluntary simplicity” — has, ironically, even bred a new area of what might be termed anti-consumerism. ”
也就是说平时在阅读时积累好的句子,进行仿写,对作文的提高很重要。
