解析:
小作文即A 節(jié)作文的評分側(cè)重點(diǎn)在于信息點(diǎn)的覆蓋、內(nèi)容的組織、語言的準(zhǔn)確性、格式和語域的恰當(dāng)。對語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯多樣性的要求將根據(jù)具體試題作調(diào)整。允許在作文中使用提示語中出現(xiàn)過的個別關(guān)鍵詞或詞組,但使用提示語中出現(xiàn)過的句子將被扣分。
要點(diǎn)一定要覆蓋全!本文有兩個要點(diǎn):一是簡要介紹夏令營活動內(nèi)容;二是招募志愿者。
所以本篇文章必須包括以上兩點(diǎn)!關(guān)于活動內(nèi)容,大家可以寫組織學(xué)習(xí)和體育比賽之類。關(guān)于招募志愿者,大家可以寫志愿者要符合什么條件!
當(dāng)然,這篇文章還是有不少陷阱的,比如日期的選擇,學(xué)校的選擇!不過跨考的谷老師認(rèn)為:格式的問題重點(diǎn)一定是有沒有的問題!
今年英語二的作文出題可謂是另辟蹊徑!大作文如此,小作文亦是一樣!從2010年設(shè)立英語二的試卷以來,連續(xù)五年的小作文都考到的是書信!而今年考查的是通知這種告示類文體!相信不僅是眾多的考研同學(xué)們,就是不少老師都是始料未及的!
翻到《全國碩士研究生招生考試英語(二)考試大綱(非英語專業(yè))》第2頁,在考查目標(biāo)里的寫作部分,有以下的表述:
考生應(yīng)能寫不同類型的應(yīng)用文,包括私人和公務(wù)信函、備忘錄、報告等,還應(yīng)能寫一般描述性、敘述性和說明或議論性的文章。
再翻到第5頁,在考試形式、考試內(nèi)容與試卷結(jié)構(gòu)的寫作部分,有以下的表述:
該部分由A、B 兩部分組成,主要考查考生的書面表達(dá)能力。共25分。
A節(jié):考生根據(jù)所給情景寫出一篇約100詞(標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號不計算在內(nèi))的應(yīng)用性短文,包括私人和公務(wù)信函、備忘錄、報告等。共10分。
B節(jié):要求考生根據(jù)所規(guī)定的情景或給出的提綱,寫出一篇150詞左右的英語說明文或議論文。提供情景的形式為圖畫、圖表或文字。共15分。
從對于小作文的要求來看,大綱上并未有對通知考查的出現(xiàn)。針對這一點(diǎn),我們有理由替同學(xué)們感到憤怒!不過,英語一和英語二是緊密聯(lián)系在一起的,相信同學(xué)們在準(zhǔn)備英語二的時候肯定也做了英語一的真題,在寫作這一部分,英語一在2010年就考了通知!
我在網(wǎng)上也找到了2010年的大綱中,在評價目標(biāo)中:考生應(yīng)能寫不同類型的應(yīng)用文,包括私人和公務(wù)信函、備忘錄、摘要、報告等,以及一般描述性、敘述性、說明性或議論性的文章;在考試形式、考試內(nèi)容與試卷結(jié)構(gòu)中:考生根據(jù)所給情景寫出一篇約100詞(標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號不計算在內(nèi))的應(yīng)用性短文,包括私人和公務(wù)信函、備忘錄、摘要、報告等。
從中也可以看出并沒有對通知的要求,不過,從常識來看,通知應(yīng)該是最基本和最常見的一種告示,是一種重要的應(yīng)用文。
48.Directions:
Write an essay based on the following chart. you should
1) interpret the chart and
2) give your comments.
You should write about 150 words on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points).
我國某市居民春節(jié)假期花銷比例
作文解析:
今年英語二作文的題目比較好寫,因為標(biāo)題和圖示非常清晰明白。圖標(biāo)顯示了我國某市居民春節(jié)假期花銷比例, 考生分析原因的話也會很簡單。下面分三段簡要地說一下這三段應(yīng)該怎么寫。
第一段主要是描述圖表。圖表一目了然,數(shù)量詞百分比也是大家熟悉的詞匯,主要是春節(jié)的翻譯,可能有些同學(xué)不會寫,為Spring Festival。表述數(shù)據(jù)時,圖中有四組數(shù)據(jù),由于字?jǐn)?shù)的限制以及為了寫作的便利可以突出最大比例的“新年禮物”,其他兩個“交通”和“聚會吃飯”可以選擇其一來描述,注意百分比的表達(dá)方式。
第二段給出你的評論,主要寫這種情況的原因。主要要結(jié)合圖表描述的內(nèi)容從兩個方面寫起。一方面為什么買新年禮物花費(fèi)的錢最多, 另一方面為什么交通或者聚會會占到20%比例。
最后結(jié)尾段落可簡要得出結(jié)論,這種現(xiàn)象并不奇怪,還將繼續(xù)下去。
參考例文:
As is clearly reflected in the above pie chart, the proportion of money spent on various affairs demonstrates obvious differences during the Spring Festival in one city of China. According to the data given, the money spent on buying gifts for others takes a lion’s share, accounting for 40%. While transportation takes away 20% of the whole proportion.
What triggers this phenomenon? It is not difficult to put forward several factors responsible for this phenomenon. To start with, with the ever-growing eagerness to keep up with others, oceans of folks intended to offer thicker and thicker red envelope to kids as gift money, which leads to the high proportion of our expenditure. What’s more, due to the great urbanization, most Chinese residents move from their hometowns to work in big cities. In order to cover the long distance and enjoy the happy together with family members, a large amount of money is spent on transportation.
In view of the arguments above, we can conclude that the current phenomenon is of no surprise. And therefore, it can be predicted that buying gifts and transportation will still take up a large share in our expenditure during the Spring Festival.
