高分高考英语写作
1. 应用词汇和语法结构的数量和准确性。
(1) I [was walking] along Park Road towards the east [when] an elderly man came out of the park on the other side of the street.
表达法:make a right turn 朝右转弯
(2) The car didn't stop but [drove off] at great speed [heading west].
表达法:drive off heading west 高速向西开去
(3) On the other side,[where the playground used to be] now [stands another new building - our library].
(4) After a short rest, we [had great fun singing] and dancing,telling jokes or stories.
句式:have fun (in) doing sth
(5) The time passed quickly. [Before] we knew it, we had to say goodbye to the workers.
→使用before译成:“还未来得及……, 就”。
(6) My brother was riding [with] me sitting on the seat [behind].
→该句使用with结构, 其结构为[with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语]。
该结构的情景描述功能十分突出。此外, behind一词用作seat定语的用法也十分轻巧。
(7) There is [sure] to be a lot of fun.
→ 在There is句式中加入be sure to等表达是十分有用的写作技巧, 又如:
There happened to be...
There seems to be ...
(8)
① Mother is happy with all the children at home.
② The boy slept well with the windows open.
③ With his homework done, he felt quite relaxed.
他的作业已经完成, 他感觉很轻松。
with + someone + 宾语补足语 (形容词) something (副词) (介词短语) (不定式) (现在分词) (过去分词) |
2. 要有连贯性要素
(1) 并列连词代替从属连词的特点是让读者自己去补充所连接的两部分间的逻辑联系, 根据两部分的思想内容去推论, 从而达到思想表达生动、有力和鲜明的修辞效果。
① We were leaving the farm, and every farm worker seemed sorry.
② It is true he is young, but / and yet he is really good at go.
→It is true ... but... = It is true...and yet ...
=Indeed ... but =Indeed... and yet (的确..., 然而...)
(2) 表因果关系的and
① The teacher came, and class began.
② Tom is very tired, and really he should go to bed.
并列句的修辞作用在于它把两个或几个平行或对立的相关的思想联系在一起,构成一比较完整的思想,因而它比两个或几个孤立的简单句的思想内容要丰富得多, 逻辑关系要清楚得多。
(3) 两个以上的简单句合并成一个并列句
① Tom is ill. He cannot study. He still attends school.
→Tom is ill and cannot study, yet he still attends school.
② He saw the boy in the street. He stopped to speak to him. He gave him a penny.
→Seeing the boy in the street, he stopped to speak to him and gave him a penny.
③ The hotel is made of brick, and the post-office is, too.
(4) 恰如其分地使用连词and容易收到流畅的效果。连词and可以交代连接的双方的相互关系, 如并列关系、先后关系、因果关系等。
① Early in the morning we met at the school gate and went there together.
→and连接的双方为met和went, 既交代了两个动作的先后顺序, 又避免了不必要的赘述。
② How glad we were to see the crops and vegetables growing well.
→and连接的双方为crops和vegetables两个名词。
③After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing,telling jokes or stories.
→and连接的双方为singing和dancing两个动名词。
3. 使用好过渡性词语
【NMET2001书面表达答案的启示】

【参考答案】One possible version:
Dear Dick,
How nice to hear from you again. You want to know what is going on in schools in China? In short, things have begun to improve since schools were called on to reduce learning load. I don't know about others, but I used to work even at weekends doing endless homework
and attending classes as well. Now I have more free time. I can follow my own interests such as reading books, visiting museums, and taking computer lessons. In the evenings I can watch news on TV or read newspapers. What's more, I can go to bed earlier. As far as I know,everyone is happy about this new arrangement of things.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
【命题意图与解题思路】
NMET2001书面表达答案是近年来最能体现该题型命题要求的好短文, 其结构的紧凑、上下文的连贯、语言的得体性, 以及文笔的流畅、遣词造句等都颇具典型性。更为难得的是该短文注意到句型的多样化, 长短相间, 错落有致, 值得关注。
【特点一】
文章以激问开始,导出下文,获得生动的效果,为下面内容的展开开了好头。所谓激问是指心中本无疑而故意设问的修辞方法。
文:You want to know what is going on in schools in China?
激问即寓答于问的设问,目地在于加重语气,表达激动的感情。激问寓答于问,
有时甚至可以不用疑问号,而用感叹号,或在陈述句中加用问号。
We are alone in solving the problem of air pollution?
=Who says we are alone in solving the roblem of air pollution!
由于激问写法适用性较广, 通用性较强, 使用在书面表达中常会有较好的效果, 建议NMET考生加以留意。
【特点二】
近年来“较高级词汇或较复杂结构”为NMET书面表达评分最为看重的标准之一, 将这一标准与“上下文的连贯性”、“行文的连贯与流畅”以及“语言的得体性”等标准相融合,而NMET2001书面表达写作则生动地表现了这样的标准, 传达了书面表达写作最新的讯息。
文:
i. ... [In short], things have begun to [improve] since schools were [called on] to reduce learning load.
ii. ..., but I [used to] work even at weekends doing endless homework and attending classes [as well].
iii. I can [follow my own interests] such as reading books, ...
iv. [What's more], I can go to bed earlier.
v. [As far as I know], everyone is happy about this new arrangement of things.
过渡性词语是把在意义上相连贯的句子联接在一起的链条, 指出作者思维活动发展的方向。
(1) First, Next, Then, Finally...
(2) thus, therefore, however, in fact, on the contrary, besides, instead of
(3) first, second, and, but, for, or
(4) what's more, as a result, what is better still,
so far as I know (据我所知)
He is handsome, clever, and what is better still, very diligent.
so far as I know
4. 高分高考英语写作技巧
(1) 句与句之间连接与自然过渡借助作状语用的时间副词、时间副词短语以及时间副词从句提至句首, 使得上句的尾部与下句的首部相互呼应, 以收到连贯的效果。

第1句 Today we visited...
第2句 Early in the morning...
第4句 Then the head...
第6句 At noon we ...
第7句 After a short rest...
第8句 Before we knew...
(2) 分词短语作状语用作补述

(3) NMET书面表达写作过程演示
【以图为例】
Step 1:初步构思→进行第1图与其他图相互关系的比较, 包括地点、人物等要素, 充分利用图片所给的主要信息:文字、地点与地点、地点与人物、人物与人物, 抑或其他之间的相互关系。
Step 2:安排语篇逻辑次序 → 起草语篇 → 确定事件的时间特征(已知或未知) → 确定时态 → 注意语言形式和句型的选择 → 进行文字校验 → 考虑措辞
Step 3:用铅笔打格,在审题时做标识(确定时态、句式 → 尽量用不同的句式、时间状语的位置 → 表目的的状语用不定式, 时间状语适度提前、多用连词and、多用贴切的表达法.
现以NMET98书面表达答案为例:

④ This made us puzzled.
