在高考英语试卷中,写作不仅是必不可少的考试项目,也是整个英语试卷中最重要的项目之一。阅卷教师通过对考生写作部分的阅卷,可以看出考生对英语语言实际应用的水平。考生对写作内容的把握直接影响着写作部分的质量,而且写作部分也是最能反应考生英语水平的重要环节,对最终英语试卷得分的高低起着举足轻重的作用。高考英语作文一般满分为25分(150字左右),占总分数的16%,如果作文分数能达到20分以上,就可以轻松将许多考生甩在后面。批卷时,阅卷老师阅读速度很快,每篇作文大概以平均一分钟左右的速度审核,老师首先会大致读一下作文内容,并在心里给出作文得分的等级。通常,一等分数为21--25分;二等分数为16分--20分;三等分数为11--15分;四等分数在6—10分;最低档分数在6分以下。首先试卷的卷面干净整洁是获取较高的分数的基础,写作部分没有涂抹或修改,没有明显的错误拼写,字迹秀丽工整,用词用句注意短语、谚语等的使用;这些都可以给评卷教师一个良好的印象。因此,教师在辅导学生进行写作练习的时候,要提醒学生注意这些问题。并且辅导学生进行写作技巧的训练,对学生进行写作要点的点拨,指导学生注意运用写作技巧,注意审题立意,确定写作主题;注意拟提纲,定骨架;安排好层次段落;做好段落铺垫的过渡;处理好开头与结尾。同时,还要注意引导学生通过熟练掌握一些常用的短语、习语、谚语等进行书面表达。
I. 写作技巧概述(The Summary of Writing Skill)
在进行写作训练时,要注意提醒学生整篇作文留给评卷教师的第一印象很重要。首先,要保证卷面清爽,减少修改;一般卷面整洁的英语作文分数一般都不会很低,阅卷老师都喜欢阅读字迹工整的文章。卷面让人看上去舒服,尽量减少修改;如果再字体优美,得分就会更占优势。其次,要杜绝错误拼写,尤其是简单的词汇;如有记得不准确的单词应尽量替换为熟悉的单词,否则会影响整体作文分数的等级。再者,要善用实词,替换常用词。在撰写英语作文时,要尽可能多用实词,少用虚词。比如在形容一个人很好的时候,不要总用very nice;very good这类过与简单词汇;应尽量多使用一些有分量的词汇。比如:generous,humorous,interesting,smart,gentle,warm-hearted之类的形容词。作文不能获得高分的一个很重要的原因就是使用重复、简单的词汇。所以,尽量要用不一样的词汇来表达,以便能使作文增加新鲜感,获得高等级的分数。
1. 审题立意准确,确定文章主题
对命题作文必须认真审题,对自由作文必须立好意。文章要有明确的主题,注意用词准确、主题鲜明、内容深刻、叙事集中。对人物的介绍注意人称、时态的使用,一般对逝去的名人用过去时态;对健在的名人根据所叙述的情况确定时态;注意情态动词的恰当运用可以使预期自然、表达准确。对家乡的介绍一般用现在时态,注意对家乡特色的描写。比如:人文景色、特色饮食、特色建筑、特殊节日(如:哈尔滨的冰雪节、欧式建筑、中央大街、大列巴、力道斯……)
2. 拟提纲,定骨架
英语作文审好题,立好意后,就要列提纲,确定文章的骨架。
1)安排好层次段落
2)做好段落铺垫的过渡
3)处理好开头和结尾
如果作文中有提示句,还要从提示句的关键词出发,围绕关键词展幵思路,发挥联想,记录下联想到的内容,记录的方式可以是句子,也可以用单词或词组,可以用英语也可以用汉语。以The Person I Admire Most为例,提纲可以这样写:
1)Who is the person that I admire most
2)My reasons
3)What can I learn from the person
注意结构美,行文条理清晰,避免一段到底,根据写作提示内容与要点,采用三段的段落模式较佳(根据情况也可以采用两段的段落模式)。
3. 写出主题句,理清文章脉络
一篇短文的段落一般分为引导部分、主体部分和结尾部分。每段的主题句非常重要,是作者思维的起点,切题的准绳,阐述的对象。看到段落主题句,读者大致可以了解段落要阐述的内容。段落主题句通常是一个语法结构完整、内容概括、用词简洁明了的简单句。通常将段落主题句罝于段落的开头,可以使文章结构更清晰,更有说服力。
4. 参照提纲,扣主题句,充实内容
有了段落主题句后,还需要顺着段落主题句的方向,参照提纲中的思路,完成各个段落。引导段部分要引起读者的注意和兴趣,特别是要能引起阅卷教师的共鸣,为主题段铺路架桥;主题段要围绕文章和该段的主题来展开。
5. 学会使用过渡词
1)递进:further more;moreover;besides;in addition;then等
2)转折:however;but;nevertheless;after all等
3)总结:finally;at last;in brief;to conclude等
4)强调:really;indeed;certainly;surely;above all等
5)对比:in the same way;just as;on the other hand等
6. 学会正确使用高级词汇
在教师阅卷时,最忌讳的就是大众化的词汇和平庸的表达,考生要想得高分,就得多用高级词汇,注意遣词造句。考生平时需要背诵一些固定词组、习语、谚语以及相对高级一些的词语,有助于考场上能得心应手,手到擒来。避免重复使用同一单词或词组。注意运用固定词组、习语、谚语等替代一些词来表达,以便能增加文采,提高被评分的等级。可采用以下三项原则:
1)弃旧取新:
阅卷老师一般都喜欢见到学生用新学习的词汇进行书面表达,因为学生乐于使用学得比较晚的单词能体现出学生学以致用的意识。例如,表示:美丽的形容词,通常同学们首先想到的基本上是初中的词汇beautiful,而采用高中新学习的词汇appealing,attractive,charming和fascinating等来替换beautiful,就可以为书面表达提高分数。
2)短语优先
高考书面表达中,多使用词组和习语替代一些单词可以起到增加文采的作用。例如:first可用to begin / start with 替换;besides可以用in addition和what is more替换;consider可以用take sth. into consideration/account替换;remember可以用 keep in mind替换。
3)避免重复
考生要想写出一篇好的英语作文,就要尽量避免重复、避免多次使用同一个简单的单词(如:反复使用should)。考生应该充分发散思维,灵活地运用短语be supposed to或had better等进行替换。

On September 1891, she went to Paris, France, to study science. in November, she went to the University of Sorbonne (Paris University). She studied at the Department of physics. She devoted all her time to the study of radium. People had no idea of radioactivity before she discovered radium. Madame Curie was a pioneer in the field of radioactivity. She won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, and won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1911. She was the first twice-honored Nobel Prize laureate and still today the only laureate in two different sciences, and she was the first female professor at the Sorbonne.
“The weak one sits and waits the opportunity, the powerhouse makes the opportunity”. “I must turn the life the science the dream, then turns again the dream the reality.” Madame Curie expressed her thoughts in words much like this.
Madame Curie will always be remembered as the discoverer of the element radium. She was one of the greatest scientists in the world.

第四十讲 名人介绍 家乡介绍 写作方法 写作要点与范例
(解析卷)
黑龙江哈尔滨 邱尚瑛
在高考英语试卷中,写作不仅是必不可少的考试项目,也是整个英语试卷中最重要的项目之一。阅卷教师通过对考生写作部分的阅卷,可以看出考生对英语语言实际应用的水平。考生对写作内容的把握直接影响着写作部分的质量,而且写作部分也是最能反应考生英语水平的重要环节,对最终英语试卷得分的高低起着举足轻重的作用。高考英语作文一般满分为25分(150字左右),占总分数的16%,如果作文分数能达到20分以上,就可以轻松将许多考生甩在后面。批卷时,阅卷老师阅读速度很快,每篇作文大概以平均一分钟左右的速度审核,老师首先会大致读一下作文内容,并在心里给出作文得分的等级。通常,一等分数为21--25分;二等分数为16分--20分;三等分数为11--15分;四等分数在6—10分;最低档分数在6分以下。首先试卷的卷面干净整洁是获取较高的分数的基础,写作部分没有涂抹或修改,没有明显的错误拼写,字迹秀丽工整,用词用句注意短语、谚语等的使用;这些都可以给评卷教师一个良好的印象。因此,教师在辅导学生进行写作练习的时候,要提醒学生注意这些问题。并且辅导学生进行写作技巧的训练,对学生进行写作要点的点拨,指导学生注意运用写作技巧,注意审题立意,确定写作主题;注意拟提纲,定骨架;安排好层次段落;做好段落铺垫的过渡;处理好开头与结尾。同时,还要注意引导学生通过熟练掌握一些常用的短语、习语、谚语等进行书面表达。
I. 写作技巧概述(The Summary of Writing Skill)
在进行写作训练时,要注意提醒学生整篇作文留给评卷教师的第一印象很重要。首先,要保证卷面清爽,减少修改;一般卷面整洁的英语作文分数一般都不会很低,阅卷老师都喜欢阅读字迹工整的文章。卷面让人看上去舒服,尽量减少修改;如果再字体优美,得分就会更占优势。其次,要杜绝错误拼写,尤其是简单的词汇;如有记得不准确的单词应尽量替换为熟悉的单词,否则会影响整体作文分数的等级。再者,要善用实词,替换常用词。在撰写英语作文时,要尽可能多用实词,少用虚词。比如在形容一个人很好的时候,不要总用very nice;very good这类过与简单词汇;应尽量多使用一些有分量的词汇。比如:generous,humorous,interesting,smart,gentle,warm-hearted之类的形容词。作文不能获得高分的一个很重要的原因就是使用重复、简单的词汇。所以,尽量要用不一样的词汇来表达,以便能使作文增加新鲜感,获得高等级的分数。
1. 审题立意准确,确定文章主题
对命题作文必须认真审题,对自由作文必须立好意。文章要有明确的主题,注意用词准确、主题鲜明、内容深刻、叙事集中。对人物的介绍注意人称、时态的使用,一般对逝去的名人用过去时态;对健在的名人根据所叙述的情况确定时态;注意情态动词的恰当运用可以使预期自然、表达准确。对家乡的介绍一般用现在时态,注意对家乡特色的描写。比如:人文景色、特色饮食、特色建筑、特殊节日(如:哈尔滨的冰雪节、欧式建筑、中央大街、大列巴、力道斯……)
2. 拟提纲,定骨架
英语作文审好题,立好意后,就要列提纲,确定文章的骨架。
1)安排好层次段落
2)做好段落铺垫的过渡
3)处理好开头和结尾
如果作文中有提示句,还要从提示句的关键词出发,围绕关键词展幵思路,发挥联想,记录下联想到的内容,记录的方式可以是句子,也可以用单词或词组,可以用英语也可以用汉语。以The Person I Admire Most为例,提纲可以这样写:
1)Who is the person that I admire most
2)My reasons
3)What can I learn from the person
注意结构美,行文条理清晰,避免一段到底,根据写作提示内容与要点,采用三段的段落模式较佳(根据情况也可以采用两段的段落模式)。
3. 写出主题句,理清文章脉络
一篇短文的段落一般分为引导部分、主体部分和结尾部分。每段的主题句非常重要,是作者思维的起点,切题的准绳,阐述的对象。看到段落主题句,读者大致可以了解段落要阐述的内容。段落主题句通常是一个语法结构完整、内容概括、用词简洁明了的简单句。通常将段落主题句罝于段落的开头,可以使文章结构更清晰,更有说服力。
4. 参照提纲,扣主题句,充实内容
有了段落主题句后,还需要顺着段落主题句的方向,参照提纲中的思路,完成各个段落。引导段部分要引起读者的注意和兴趣,特别是要能引起阅卷教师的共鸣,为主题段铺路架桥;主题段要围绕文章和该段的主题来展开。
5. 学会使用过渡词
1)递进:further more;moreover;besides;in addition;then等
2)转折:however;but;nevertheless;after all等
3)总结:finally;at last;in brief;to conclude等
4)强调:really;indeed;certainly;surely;above all等
5)对比:in the same way;just as;on the other hand等
6. 学会正确使用高级词汇
在教师阅卷时,最忌讳的就是大众化的词汇和平庸的表达,考生要想得高分,就得多用高级词汇,注意遣词造句。考生平时需要背诵一些固定词组、习语、谚语以及相对高级一些的词语,有助于考场上能得心应手,手到擒来。避免重复使用同一单词或词组。注意运用固定词组、习语、谚语等替代一些词来表达,以便能增加文采,提高被评分的等级。可采用以下三项原则:
1)弃旧取新:
阅卷老师一般都喜欢见到学生用新学习的词汇进行书面表达,因为学生乐于使用学得比较晚的单词能体现出学生学以致用的意识。例如,表示:美丽的形容词,通常同学们首先想到的基本上是初中的词汇beautiful,而采用高中新学习的词汇appealing,attractive,charming和fascinating等来替换beautiful,就可以为书面表达提高分数。
2)短语优先
高考书面表达中,多使用词组和习语替代一些单词可以起到增加文采的作用。例如:first可用to begin / start with 替换;besides可以用in addition和what is more替换;consider可以用take sth. into consideration/account替换;remember可以用 keep in mind替换。
3)避免重复
考生要想写出一篇好的英语作文,就要尽量避免重复、避免多次使用同一个简单的单词(如:反复使用should)。考生应该充分发散思维,灵活地运用短语be supposed to或had better等进行替换。
