但大家要記住,不管考查形式怎么變,四級寫作的方法永遠是萬變不離其宗的。
其實,這篇作文只要求大家讀懂表格,分析出表格中蘊藏的核心含義和信息就可以了,雖然四六級在開始模仿托福和雅思考試,但評分標準依舊是不變的。因此,我們可以還是套上老師上課講過的思路和模板,用現象分析型這種題型來應對此次四級作文。
首先,我們可以在第一段,對圖表信息稍作分析,得出一個主要的結論。在這一段,記住,我們其實不需要將圖表中的每一條信息都解釋描述清楚,而只需要進行一個大概地描述,加上少許數據即可。當然,有實力的同學也可以嘗試將它逐條描述清楚。例如,作文A卷,圖表的核心信息就是向我們說明,學歷越高的人周薪也會越高;而作文B卷,圖表主要是想告訴我們,學歷越高的人失業率便會越低。這些信息,其實也是我們能夠通過常識進行判斷得出的。那咱們只要搞清楚這一點了,整篇文章圍繞這個信息進行展開就順理成章了。
我們文章第一句話首先描述這幅圖是在展示一個什么樣的信息。這一點,圖的標題就告訴我們了。第二句話,我們就只需要說清楚周薪與學歷的這樣一個比例關系。第三句話,當然需要列舉一兩條詳細的數據加以說明。在這里我建議大家,最好是選取最大值和最小值進行描寫,這也是雅思小作文寫作時的慣用手法。好了,至此我們的第一段就順利完成了,總結起來就是主題句、展開句和舉例句這么三句話,這幾點內容其實就跟四級常見的現象分析型文章是極其相似的。
既然已經完成了現象的提出,咱們第二段就必須就此現象來分析原因了。當然這一段也是我在課上重點強調、講解過了的。首先,在結構上,通過總分原則的使用,咱們先完成段落主題句,再分條列舉你的原因即可。注意一點,在列舉過程中,一定要使用順序連接詞來體現你的邏輯。另外,內容上我們爭取所寫的原因只要是主流簡單和扣題的即可。語言上,爭取每一點原因都能使用不同的句式結構或者語言表達,做到語言要多變。
在結尾段,我們可以表達自己的觀點看法和提出相應的幾點建議。對于這道題目,在第一句話可以寫:我認為教育投資是值得的,是有回報的。然后,相應地提出兩條課上我們講過的黃金建議句:第一,有關部門或當局應該加強教育投資;第二,我們學生本身也應該要努力學習,為以后工作打下堅實的基礎。最后,來一個典型的結尾句整篇文章就順利完成了。
所以,大家看看,經過老師的分析,這篇文章雖看似是從未出現過的新題型,但在寫法上,咱們依舊可以套用老師上課講過的模板和句型,將其順利寫完。這也是有些同學在抱怨寫作難的時候,而有些同學卻反映比較簡單的原因所在了,關鍵看同學們自己會不會進行靈活地融會貫通。
總而言之,本次作文可以說是作文考查舊目標下的一種新形式,如此的考試對學生的英語寫作能力提出的新的要求,首先要讀懂圖表才能理解,才能解釋,而在解釋的過程中任何語言的失誤都會造成輸出的偏差,進而造成表義失效。因此,希望同學們在以后的英語學習中注重加強自身的寫作實力,對寫作這部分有自己的理解和把握,而不僅僅只是依賴模板。只有這樣,才能在不斷前進和發展的四六級考試中游刃有余,獲得滿意的分數。
最后,在這里老師選取了兩篇范文,僅供大家參考:
2012年12月英語四級作文A范文
Education Pays
The above bar chart clearly shows us education pays in 2010. We see that one with higher education background earns more money weekly than those with lower ones. For instance, the college students with no degree get paid $712 per week whereas those with a Bachelor’s degree can earn $1038.
Several reasons, in my opinion, can be identified to account for this phenomenon. To begin with, compared with those with comparatively lower education degree, people who have received higher education possess considerably wider knowledge, more remarkable learning and research ability, greater innovation and most of all, resourceful social network, all of which are essential to a high-income work. Also, the higher one’s education degree is, the bigger platform he will enjoy to show his ability. For example, his college, university, or research institute will organize various job fairs for him to communicate face to face with employers.
This phenomenon tells us that education is a worthy investment. Therefore, substantial education investment should be strengthened while we, as college students, should study harder to build our country and strive for better lives for ourselves.
2012年12月英語四級作文B范文
Education Pays
The above bar chart clearly shows us education pays in 2010. We see that unemployment rate of those with higher education background is much lower than those with lower education degree. For instance, the unemployment rate of college students with no degree is as high as 14.9% while that of those with doctoral degree is only 1.9%.
The following reason, in my opinion, is the most important one to account for this phenomenon. Compared with those with comparatively lower education degree, people who have received higher education possess considerably wider knowledge, more remarkable learning and research ability, greater innovation and most of all, resourceful social network, all of which make them more qualified and competent for their task. Thus, they are less likely to lose their jobs.
This phenomenon tells us that education is a worthy investment. Therefore, education investment should be strengthened while we, as college students, should study harder to avoid unemployment.
