寫作的格式有兩種：齊頭式(full block form)和縮進(jìn)式(indented form)。采用齊頭式，要求所有段落的首行都在左邊頂格，段落中間空行。縮進(jìn)式要求每段首行縮進(jìn)4~5個(gè)字母。
第二、 構(gòu)思簡單，少犯錯(cuò)誤。 請(qǐng)大家一定記住，作文只在考核他們的語言表達(dá)能力。避免犯錯(cuò)誤。
(思維。標(biāo)點(diǎn)，時(shí)態(tài)一致，單復(fù)數(shù)，結(jié)構(gòu)。6分原則。寫完后的檢查)
第三、 中心突出，層次分明。 從近幾年的四級(jí)考試作文看來，盡管實(shí)用性提高了，但行文大多可以套用“中心句+1、2、3”模式。即每段第一句是topic sentence，改編自該段相對(duì)應(yīng)的提綱，后面的1、2、3是銜接詞，每個(gè)1、2、3后接分支觀點(diǎn)。這種表達(dá)，中心突出，層次分明，同時(shí)也節(jié)省了考生構(gòu)思結(jié)構(gòu)的麻煩。銜接詞是文章邏輯關(guān)系的體現(xiàn)，所以不妨盡可能多的使用。比如，“起”的過渡詞：nowadays, at present, first of all, firstly;“承”的過渡詞：second, besides,moreover, furthermore, obviously, in addition, in other words;“轉(zhuǎn)”的過渡詞：however, on the other hand, but, instead, conversely;“合”的過渡詞：therefore, so, as a result, in short, in brief, in a word, in conclusion。
以下為四級(jí)作文題及其范文。劃線部分與斜體部分則體現(xiàn)了第三點(diǎn)所講的全部內(nèi)容。提綱如下：
1、有些大學(xué)允許學(xué)生自由選擇某些課程的任課老師
2、學(xué)生選擇老師時(shí)所考慮的主要因素是……
3、學(xué)生自選任課老師的益處及可能產(chǎn)生的問題
Nowadays, there is a general discussion today about the issue of some changes on campus.Particularly, students in universities have optional choices on their teachers.
A number of factors are responsible for decisions in choosing teachers. For one thing, the character of a lecturer plays a significant role in this issue, which means the teacher should meet the learners’ taste. For another thing, opinions from other students are likely to bring effects on the decision. In other words, we are possibly influenced by negative or positive words from others.
Obviously, there is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of this matter. On the one hand, students are treated better than before. On the other hand, some top teachers will be ignored, if they are not able to please the market. From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that further attention will be paid to this matter.
第四、 固定經(jīng)典，名言注目。經(jīng)典句和名言往往都比較容易引人注目，如果能在文中使用，也比較容易讓改卷人為之一振。為了獲得經(jīng)典的使用效果，建議考生們?cè)谄綍r(shí)的寫作練習(xí)中注意積累，并且每個(gè)話題背下幾句。質(zhì)量良好的句子一般應(yīng)該用在文章的開頭結(jié)尾，或每段的開頭，這樣才能讓別人清楚明白地看到。比如，用于文章開頭的句子：
1、 When it comes to …, people’s opinions differ.
2、 There is a public discussion today about ……
3、 There is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of
用于文章結(jié)尾的句子：
1、 it is high time that we take measures to …
2、 judging from all evidence offered, we may safely come to the conclusion that …
3、 all the evidence points to the fact that …
4、 It is essential that effective measures should be taken to control this situation.
用于闡釋原因的句子：
1、 Some reasons are responsible for this.
2、 There are lots of reasons for the dramatic growth/decrease. First, … Second, … Finally, …
3、 The phenomenon/change in … mainly results from the fact that …
4、 One may regard the phenomenon as a sign of …
第五、 重在變化，寧簡勿濫。 作文考試評(píng)卷中，大多采用加分原則。“難詞長句”不是加分的必然。關(guān)鍵在于變化，變化不分難易，只要有變化就行。變化分為，詞的變化和句的變化。在用詞上，同一文章中相同意義的詞要爭取不斷地用近意詞替換，以顯文章用詞靈活。(換詞和短語)在用句上，不一定要用大的從句，主要避免相鄰句子句式太多的一致。(變句模式)
備考忌諱
第一、忌諱盲目。盲目相信所謂“秘宗”或“內(nèi)部透露試卷”，四、六級(jí)考試是科學(xué)性較高的國內(nèi)英文考試，在日益提高安全性的前提下，漏題的機(jī)會(huì)幾乎沒有。第二、忌諱只看不練。只看題目或只構(gòu)思，而不動(dòng)手練習(xí)。四、六級(jí)考試的作文部分是考查學(xué)生對(duì)英語的主動(dòng)應(yīng)用能力，所以考生至少在考前一個(gè)月應(yīng)該動(dòng)手練習(xí)，主要以歷年真題的寫作題目為復(fù)習(xí)資料，寫完之后自己再對(duì)照范文進(jìn)行修改，記下范文中的經(jīng)典句子及銜接詞，以備考場(chǎng)上使用。
