2013年6月英語六級作文解析
最新大學英語六級考試在一片怨聲載道中落下了帷幕。絕大多數考生都反映今年六級作文題目相當難,完全沒有hold住,超出了可駕馭的范圍之內。按常規,英語六級考試作文的題材均為貼近大學生的學習和課余生活的校園題材,或者是有關社會發展,變化和進步的熱點話題。而究其細節,無外乎分為觀點對比類,社會熱點類,圖表類,書信類,諺語格言類五大話題,而今年的考題如2011年12月份的六級作文The Way to Success出題人的思路如出一轍,與以往很多“現象類”或“爭議類”考題不同,要求評述一句格言——考察了一個冷門“諺語格言類”話題。而且從2012年12月份開始,教育部就已經對四六級考試的作文單項進行了改革,實行“多題多卷”的考法。所以考生拿到題目,會產生一種莫名的陌生感和恐懼感。但果真無從下手嗎?非也。
這次英語六級作文的三道作文考題,題目分別為1) Good habits result from resisting temptation. 2) A smile is the shortest distance between two people. 來自于Victor Borge 3) Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed。仔細分析這些作文考題不難發現,就題目而言,都屬于諺語格言題型。而且大都是對于在校大學生精神品質,行為習慣,道德修養的變相考察。旨在培養學生在如此紛繁復雜的社會中應該持有的世界觀價值觀。
針對這種耳熟能詳的諺語格言題,筆者在課堂中曾反復明確強調:作文完全可以按照老的套路和步驟進行。下面就題目一來具體分析。首先依據背景材料來提出問題,“良好的習慣來源于抵制誘惑”表述充足的抵制誘惑對于良好習慣乃至成功人士的重要性。之后分析這一問題,即文章的主題段落,在課堂上反復提到過的三種論證方法:因果,正反,舉例。這個題目其實比較有利于考生的發揮。可以引用名人名言,也可以引用成功的實例或者自己的經歷加以佐證。但是要注意,情緒渲染點到為止,否則,不僅不會打動閱卷老師,反而有不夠縝密和結構松散之嫌。最后一段提出個人建議,喊口號,發倡議,表決心等等,上課時候都已經總結了相關句型,只要平時功夫深,這篇作文輕而易舉的拿下。所以,重點是看懂題目,并且能把題目解釋成一到兩個簡單的關鍵詞。中文理解力很重要。能理解,行文就是模板。不能理解,模板就是廢物。
同時應該注意,我們可以從這次六級作文看出一些出卷子的傾向,一是六級的考題越來越關注考生的綜合能力,命題的內容重點日益與社會熱點及大學生相關聯,考生在平時需要加強對于英文詞匯的使用和積累。請各位同學務必關注時事,關注熱點,關注生活。也是反復強調的:我們要把六級作文寫成完形填空的形式,所以大家務必搜集總結記憶核心話題的核心詞匯,我們在課上也有過相應總結。
二是考試切忌投機取巧。之前各大培訓機構紛紛押題“社會熱點”,認為諺語格言題已經多年未考,不再關注。而如今這座沉默多年的火山的再次噴發,讓諸多學子不知所措。還是應驗了那句話,我們不猜題不壓題,廣大新東方學員學到的是不變應萬變的應試寫作方法。所以還是在課堂上反復強調的:一切押題都是浮云,掌握知識乃是王道!希望各位同學吸取教訓,切莫在考試中打心理戰,存在僥幸心理。唯有踏踏實實的復習才能百戰不殆,笑傲六級考場!
下面,筆者覲獻拙作一篇,以期同仁不吝賜教.
Good Habits Result from Refusing Temptation
The contemporary society featured by temptation has witnessed the prevalent and pervasive situation that people, especially youngsters nowadays, may not discriminate right from wrong and fully wallow in some heinous habits. Hence, even though we are frequently bewildered and baffled on nurturing good habits, we cannot overemphasize the superiority of them.
As the proverb goes, constant drops wear out the stone. For us college students, it is particularly important to form good habits and be self-disciplined. To achieve this, first and foremost, we students are supposed to resist the coziness of staying in and temptation of tasty but fatty food, or the alike. Any evil or adverse temptations had better be stayed away from with unremitting willing. Apart from that, faced with temptations, we must restrain ourselves from endless entertainment. Otherwise, distracted and indulged, we can never acquire a good decent habit, let alone achieve excellence in our study or work, or any other aspect of our life.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that temptation-free and good habits are the exclusive prerequisite heading to success. Only when we are alert and determined enough to resist these temptations can we take a right and unswerving road to success. And just remember, Rome was not built in one day.
