根据考试大纲的要赤诚,考生的作文必须很好地完成试题规定的任务。包括所有的要点;使用丰富的语法结构和词汇;语言自然流畅,语法错误较少;有效地采用了多种衔接的手法,文字连贯,层次清晰;格式与语域恰当贴切。对目标读者完全产生预期的效果。(指在书面和口头表达中根据不同的交际对象,所采用的话语方式,即正式、一般、非正式的话语等)。书信和信件是交往中常用的方式,也是考试中应该准备的学习内容。先将写信应该注意的问题作一个简单的说明。先将写书信应该注意的问题作一个简单的说明。一:信头(Heading)指发信人的单位名称、地址、发信日期。考试时候不要求写出。格式:从信纸的上部中央往右写,第一行写单位名称,第三行写门牌号码、街名,第三行写市名、省名、国名,第四行写发信日期。学生写信时第一行写班级名称,第二行写学校名称,第三行写市、省名,第五行写国家名称,第六行写发信日期。国内信件国名可以不写。二:信内地址(InsideAddress)指收信人的姓名、单位和地址。考试时候不要求写出。格式:信头下隔一二行,从左边开始写,第一行写姓名、头衔,第二行写单位名称,第三行写门牌号及路名,第四行写市名、省名及邮政号码,第五行写国名。商业往来信件及公函必须写信头和地址。亲友、熟人之间的信可不写信内地址,信头处写发信日期就行了。三:称呼(Salutation)格式:信内地址下隔一二行写称呼,其左要与信内地址第一行对齐。对不相识的男子,单数常用“Sir”,“DearSir”,或“MyDearSir”;复数常用“DearSirs”或“Gentlemen”。对女子,单数常用“Madam”,“DearMadam”或“MyDearMadam”;复数常用“Mesdames”或“MyDearMesdames”;对比较熟识的男子,普通称“DearMr.……”;女性通常称“DearMrs.(或Miss)……”。熟人和亲人常直呼其名,不用姓氏(以“Dear”为例):1)“DearDavid”;2)“MydearDavid”;3)“MyDavid”4)“MydearestDavid”;5)“MyDearest”;6)“DarlingDavid”;7)“MyDarling”;8)“Myveryowndarling”等。有头衔的可把头衔写放在名字前,如“ProfWang”,“DrLin”等。四:正文(BodyofLetter)格式:称呼下面隔两行开始写正文。每段第一个字母要缩进3至5个字母的空格。正文是信的主要部分,内容要简单明了,一般不用同汉语信一样的“你好(howareyou?)”之类的词。五:结束语(ComplimentaryClose)结束语是写信人对收信人的谦称,写在正文下面二三行处,从中间写起,第一个词不达意的开头字母要大写,末尾用逗号。给不相识的人可用:“Yourstruly”或“Trulyyours”“Yoursfaithfully”或“Faithfullyyours”“YoursSincerely”或“Sincerelyyours”给上级或长者可用:“Yoursrespectfully”或“Respectfullyyours”49
“Yoursobediently”或“Obedientlyyours”“Yours”,“Yoursever”,“Everyours”,“Yoursasever”或“Yourssincerely”给亲属或挚友的信可用:“Yoursaffectionately”,“LovinglyYours”,“Yourlovingson(child,sister…)”,或”Yoursdevotedfriend”等。结束语末尾要用逗号。六:签名(Signature)即写信人署名。一般情况下,把本人姓名签在结束语之下。考试时候统一写为“LiMing”。9月12日短文指导Yesterdayyoufailedtoturnupfortheappointmentwithyourteacher,ProfessorWang.Writehimanoteto1)expressyourapology;2)makearequestforanotherappointment;3)andalsosuggestatimefortherequestedappointment.Youshouldwriteabout100wordsonANSWERSHEET2.Donotsignyourownnameattheendoftheletter.Use“LiMing”instead.Youdonotneedtowritetheaddress.(10points)范文译文DearProf.Wang,IwritethisnotetoexpressmygreatapologytoyourasIfailedtoturnupfortheappointmentwithyouyesterdayafternoon.Tobefrank,IdidremembertomeetyouatyourofficewhenmyfathersuddenlyhadastomachacheandIhadtosendhimtoanearbyhospital.ThenIgaveyouaphonetocalloffthemeetingbutthelinewasbusy.Iintendtoarrangeanotherappointmentifittakesnofurthertroubleforyou.IamwonderingifitisconvenientforustomeetnextMondaymorning.Iamexpectinganearlyreplyfromyou.Sincerelyyours,LiMing(106words)星期四下午我失约了。我写这封信的目的是为了表达我的歉意。我没有忘记,但是当时我父亲突然腹痛,我只能送他去医院。给您打电话,您的电话又占线。如果您方便我想下周一早上再与您见面。敬请回复。思路启迪49
凡是细心比较一下中文和英文篇章结构的人,不难发现,英文中心主旨表达的开门见山。书信或便条的写作也应该注意这一点。篇章开头直接表明书信的目的、作者的态度和观点、篇章的主题。写好主题句不仅要表达作者的态度,还需根据内容和字数等要求,对题目的范围进行控制和确定。就主题句而言,一方面它应该具有概括性,这样才能达到主题句应该具有的功能;另一方面要有具体的、标明主题导向的关键词语,这样下面的发展句才能顺利的展开。本单元的主题句开门见山的表明了写作的目的是为了表达歉意,点出了“约会”这一主题。此外,主题句要显得自然,在篇章中起到背景引导的作用。建议读者认真研读和分析本书中各篇应用文首句的构思,并加以效仿。9月13日短文指导Youhavegotatickettoacomputerfair,butyounowfindthatyouareunabletogo.Writeanotetoyourfriend,George,1)introducingthefairbriefly;2)explainingwhyyouaresendingtheenclosedtickettohim;3)andtellinghimbrieflyhowtogetthere.Youshouldwriteabout100wordsonANSWERSHEET2.Donotsignyourownnameattheendoftheletter.Use“LiMing”instead.Youdonotneedtowritetheaddress.(10points)范文译文DearGeorge,I’vegotaticketforacomputerfair,butnowIfindI’munabletogobecauseofsomeunexpectedbusinesses.I’velearnedtherearealotofupdatedanti-virusprogramsandnewly-developedmodelsonshow,andacyber-headlikeyouwouldnotmisstheopportunityforanything.Ican’tgobecauseI’mgoingtomeetwithanimportantclient,soIsendtheenclosedtickettoyou.ItisveryconvenientforyoutogettherethisFridayafternoon.YoumaygobytaxiortaketheNo12bus,andyoucan’tmissit.Pleaseletmeknowwhenyouhavereceivedtheticket.Hopeyouwillhaveanicetime.Sincerelyyours,LiMing(109words)我有一张计算机展销会的入场券,但是突然有事去不了。展销会上有许多升级计算机放毒软件和新开发的机型。任何电脑迷都不会错过这个机会的。我要去见一个重要的客户,现在把入场券给你随信寄来。你周五下午去那里很方便,打车或乘坐12路公共汽车就可以了。收到信后告之我。祝你愉快。思路启迪49
段落中的各个句子必须围绕一个主题(一个内容)展开;短文中的各个层次则围绕短文的主题,从不同侧面深入阐述。保证句子的统一性和连贯性是组词的基本要求。句子的统一性和连贯性是相辅相成的,最简单的解释是,意思完整,主次分明,前后连贯。从语义上看,句子各部分应该是紧密联系在一起,表达一个完整的意思;从语法角度来看,正确的句子应该是结构严谨,关系一致,语序正确;从修辞角度来年,好的句子应该是中心突出,逻辑性强,准确简练。如果一个句子表达的意思不完整,主次关系不明确,逻辑关系混乱,那么这个句子的统一性和连贯性就遭到了破坏,句子就有语病,读者也就无法了解作者的本意。所谓一致性就是说,一段文章必须讨论一个中心思想,服务于一个目的。根据一致性的原则,文章中所有的细节都要与主题句直接有关,要有利于说明中心思想。任何与主题无关,或者说服力不强的内容,都必须舍弃,否则会使读者迷惑不解,而有损于作者意图的表达。应用文写作同样必须注意文章的一致性的原则。在展开时必须牢牢把握好提示的要点,才能达到写作的要求。9月14日短文指导You’velearnedthatyourfriendJimmyisillthesedays.Writehimanote1)expressingyourconcern;2)askingafterhishealth;3)andgivingyourbestwishes.Youshouldwriteabout100wordsonANSWERSHEET2.Donotsignyourownnameattheendoftheletter.Use“LiMing”instead.Youdonotneedtowritetheaddress.(10points)范文译文DearJimmy,I’msosorrytohearthatyouhavebeenillthesedays.BecauserecentlyI’muptomyearswithmypreparationforthefinalEnglishtest,Ihaven’theardanythingaboutyouuntilyesterday.IbecameveryworriedwhenIheardthatyouhadagaincaughtaterribleflu.SoIamwritingtoyouandwouldliketoknowhowyouarenow.Ithinkyoushouldtakeacompletephysicalcheckupandfindouttherealtroubleittheillnesspersists.Myhelpwillbeavailableasmyauntisadoctor.Pleaseletmeknowifyouneedanyhelp.Wishyougoodhealth.Sincerelyyours,LiMing(109words)当Bob49
告诉我你这久生病时,我相当的难过。因为最近一直忙于英语期末考试,昨天才听说你的情况。听说你又患感冒,我很担心,随即马上给你写信问你的情况。如果病情仍不好转,我建议你去做一个体检。我婶婶是医生,可能帮上忙。请告诉我。祝你健康。思路启迪就应用文的写作而言,根据考试大纲的要求,考生所写篇章在格式与语域方面必须恰当贴切。对目标读者完全会产生预期的效果。指在书面和口头表达中根据不同的交际对象,所采用的话语方式,即正式、一般、非正式的话语等。考生在平时准备或考试时应该注意的重要方面有:一:正式语体(书卷语)、一般语体(共核)、非正式语体(口语体)在词汇层次、短语层次、句型层次和篇章层次都有区别。本书将在第四章进行简要的归纳和总结,以帮考生养成使用语言时注意所使用语言的贴切性。二:正式语体词的使用范围较窄,而且一般只在书面语中出现,若出现在口语中,则有讽刺、调侃或幽默的语用效果。考研英语写作部分的PartB节考生需要按照正式或共核语体写作。英语语体意义高的词汇一般都比较长,我们随后将在第四章讨论这一点。三:中性语体成分的使用范围比较广:既可以出现在正式语体中,也可以出现在一般介绍或叙述性语篇中,还可能出现在口语中。就这一类词汇的特点,英语的中性语体和口语、俚语等词汇一般都比较短小,尤其是后者,因为短,使用起来才方便,长了拗口。四:考生在写作应用文时必须判断篇章的接受者与自己的亲密程度、接受者的身份高低、交际场合的正式程度、自己作为作者的身份等。综合考虑之后,再做出文体的判断。之后在选择恰当贴切的篇章组织、句型、词汇等。这样才能达到大纲的要求,取得较好的分数。9月15日邀请信邀请信包括宴会、舞会、晚餐、聚会、婚礼等各种邀请信件,形式上大体分为两种:一种为正规的格式(formalcorrespondence),亦称请柬;一种是非正式格式(informalcorrespondence),即一般的邀请信。邀请信是在形式上不如请柬那样正规,但也是很考究。书写时应注意:邀请信一定要将邀请的时间(年、月、日、钟点)、地点、场合写清楚,不能使接信人存在任何疑虑。例如:“I’dlikeyouandBobtocometoLuncheonnextFriday.”这句话中所指的是哪个星期五并不明确,所以应加上具体日期,“I’dlikeyouandBobtocometoluncheonnextFriday,May5th.”1.邀请朋友共进午餐InvitingafriendtoaninformalluncheonDear[ZhangYing],Willyoucometoaluncheonon[Friday,May5th],at[twelveo’clock]?Myniece[Mary]isvisitingusandIthinkyouwillenjoymeetingher.Sheisacharming,veryprettygirl…49
