英語作文 篇1
歷年考研英語作文有兩類,一個大作文一個小作文。其中的小作文,多是辭職信、道歉信、感謝信等應用文體,它的形式是給出提示要點,要求考生根據(jù)要求表達清楚要點。它的評分重點在于信息點的覆蓋,內容的組織,語言的準確性,格式及語域的恰當性。鑒于小作文不需要華麗的詞藻和吸引閱卷人眼球的文采,老師認為,只要掌握一定的方法技巧,在格式、語言和要點等方面下足功夫,拿到理想的分數(shù)還是不難,但是學生的書信寫作還存在諸多問題。
第一,格式上的錯誤。
書信的稱呼,正確的格式應該是Dear …,,而很多考生不用Dear,而且一般都是寫成Dear…:。另外,在考研英語寫作中不需要寫日期,最后書信的落款是Li Ming,而不是自己的姓名?忌蛔⒁鈺诺母袷,后果就是扣分嚴重。
第二,審題不認真,內容離題。
一直以來,在寫作之前我們都跟學生強調要審題,很多考生一直不注意這點,也有的認為書信沒有什么值得仔細審讀的。但是最后的后果就是,內容偏離題目要求。小作文要如何審題呢?首先要仔細閱讀題目所提供的情景,確定寫信人和收信人的關系即寫信人的身份,進而確定書信的口氣,這樣才能滿足大綱中對寫作語域的要求。另外,還需要注意情景發(fā)生的時間和背景,注意書信的時態(tài)。
1.格式:
稱呼:英語應用文稱呼有這樣的特點,如果是不認識的人,一般稱呼為敬詞+尊稱。例如,Dear Sir or Madam 或者 To Whom It May Concern(需注意每個單詞首字母都大寫);如果是寫給關系正式的某團體或個人,稱呼為敬詞+尊稱+名。例如,Dear Mr. xx或Dear Ms. xx;;對于關系較親密的人可以直呼其名,即Dear xx。需要注意的是:1.稱呼要頂格寫;2. 稱呼之后要加逗號或者冒號(推薦大家用逗號,因為歷年的.高分范文都是用逗號的)。
正文:正文格式一般有兩種格式,一是縮進式,即首段開頭空四個字母,段落之間不空行; 一是齊頭式,即每段開頭不空格,但是各段之間空一行。跨考考研老師建議考生采用縮進式,因為如果用齊頭式,段間空行的話很可能答題空間不夠,導致字數(shù)不夠。
2.語言:
寫作用詞準確是最基礎的要求之一。其次,句型可以多變,例如既有并列句,也有復合句,還有從句,但注意語法運用要正確。此外還要注意,正式語言一般是寫給具有正式關系的團體或機構,這種情況不用縮略語和口語用法。除了正式的文體以外,其他的文體皆為非正式文體,像寫給朋友的書信等。
一般小作文的考查要求中會體現(xiàn)出寫該篇的目的和場合,所以考生在寫作時要注意針對不同場合使用不同語言,使交流得以進行。另外,考生也要注意不同的應用文有不同的用語。建議考生對某些應用文的格式和習慣用語,應該加以熟悉和背誦,以便運用自如。
3.要點:
考生在考試時注意在看到題目要求后不要忙于動筆,雖說小作文的字數(shù)充其量在一百多個單詞,但是依舊要在腦子里理清思路。最好能夠在仔細審題以后,認真列個提綱,這樣更有利于思路清晰。寫作時,注意表達清楚以下幾個方面:首先交代清楚寫信目的;其次為了讓閱卷者對你的文章結構及表意一目了然,注意關聯(lián)詞或銜接詞的運用;接下來,應該對個人的觀點進行闡述(在寫作有此必要的時候)。最后,行文間要注意簡化描述,用簡短的語句代替冗長的語句。在作文完成的時候,應該檢查、修改,以免遺漏一些需要表達清楚的要點和細節(jié)。
英語作文 篇2
The Fascinating Moonrise
There is a hill near my home that I often climb at night. The noise of the city is a far-off murmur. In the hush of dark I share the cheerfulness of crickets and the confidence of owls. But it is the drama of the moonrise that I come to see. For that restores in me a quiet and clarity that the city spends too freely.
From this hill I have watched many moons rise. Each one had its own mood. There have been broad, confident harvest moons in autumn; shy, misty moons in spring; lonely, white winter moons rising into the utter silence of an ink-black sky and smoke-smudged orange moons over the dry fields of summer. Each, like fine music, excited my heart and then calmed my soul.
But we, who live indoors, have lost contact with the moon. The glare of street lights and the dust of pollution veil the night sky. Though men have walked on the moon, it grows less familiar. Few of us can say what time the moon will rise tonight.
Still, it tugs at our minds.
If we unexpectedly encounter the full moon, huge and yellow over the horizon, we are helpless but to stare back at its commanding presence. And the moon has gifts to bestow upon those who watch.
I learned about its gifts one July evening in the mountains. My car had mysteriously stalled, and I was stranded and alone. The sun had set, and I was watching what seemed to be the bright-orange glow of a forest fire beyond a ridge to the east. Suddenly, the ridge itself seemed to burst into flame. Then, the rising moon, huge and red and grotesquely misshapen by the dust and sweat of the summer atmosphere, loomed up out of the woods. Distorted thus by the hot breath of earth, the moon seemed ill-tempered and imperfect. Dogs at nearby farmhouse barked nervously, as if this strange light had wakened evil spirits in the weeds.
But as the moon lifted off the ridge it gathered firmness and authority. Its complexion changed from red, to orange, to gold, to impassive yellow. It seemed to draw light out of the darkening earth, for as it rose, the hills and valleys below grew dimmer. By the time the moon stood clear of the horizon, full-chested and round and of the colour of ivory, the valleys were deep shadows in the landscape. The dogs, reassured that this was the familiar moon, stopped barking. And all at once I felt a confidence and joy close to laughter.
The drama took an hour. Moonrise is slow and serried with subtleties. To watch it, we must slip into an older, more patient sense of time.
To watch the moon move inflexibly higher is to find an unusual stillness within ourselves. Our imaginations become aware of the vast distance of space, the immensity of the earth and the huge improbability of our own existence. We feel small but privileged.
Moonlight shows us none of life’s harder edges. Hillsides seem silken and silvery, the oceans still and blue in its light. In moonlight we become less calculating, more drawn to our feelings.
翻譯:
那迷人的月光
在我家附近有一座小山,我經常在夜里爬。城市的喧囂是遙遠的低語。在黑暗的靜謐中,我分享著蟋蟀的歡樂和貓頭鷹的自信。但這是我所看到的月亮升起的戲劇。因為這使我重新恢復了平靜而清晰的城市生活。
從這座山上我看到了許多月亮升起。每個人都有自己的心情。秋天有廣闊的,自信的`秋月;在春天朦朧的月亮;孤獨的,白色的冬季月亮升起在漆黑的天空中,在干燥的田野上煙霧模糊的橙色月亮。每一個人,就像美妙的音樂,讓我的心興奮,然后讓我的靈魂平靜下來。
但我們住在室內,與月球失去了聯(lián)系。街燈的強光和污染的塵土籠罩著夜空。雖然人類在月球上行走,但它變得不那么熟悉了。很少有人能說出今晚月亮何時升起。
盡管如此,它仍在我們的腦海中拉扯。
如果我們出乎意料地遭遇到一輪明月,巨大而又黃色的天邊,我們只能無奈地盯著它的指揮。而月亮也有禮物送給那些看的人。
七月的一個晚上,我在山里得知了它的禮物。我的車神秘地熄火了,我被困在了那里。太陽已經落山了,我正在觀看一場從山脊到東方的森林大火的明亮的橙色光芒。突然,山脊本身似乎燃燒起來。接著,那顆冉冉升起的月亮,又大又紅,在夏季大氣的塵土和汗水中怪異地扭曲,從樹林中隱約出現(xiàn)。由于地球灼熱的氣息扭曲了,月亮似乎變得暴躁和不完美。附近農舍的狗緊張地吠叫著,仿佛這奇怪的光喚醒了野草中的惡鬼。
但是,當月亮從山脊上升起時,它變得堅定而權威。它的膚色從紅色變成了橙色,變成了金色,變成了淡黃色。它似乎從黑暗的泥土中抽出光來,因為隨著它的升起,下面的山谷和山谷變得越來越暗淡。當月亮從地平線上清晰地站起來,胸膛和圓圓的和象牙色的時候,山谷是大地的陰影。狗兒們打消了這個疑慮,說這是熟悉的月亮,停止了吠叫。突然,我感到了一種自信和快樂,接近于笑聲。
這出戲花了一個小時。月亮的升起是緩慢的,充滿了微妙的變化。為了觀看它,我們必須進入一個更古老、更耐心的時間觀念。
觀察月亮的變化,是在我們自己內部找到一種不尋常的平靜。我們的想象力開始意識到空間的巨大距離,地球的浩瀚以及我們自身存在的巨大的不可能。我們感到自己渺小卻享有特權。
月色讓我們看不到生活的艱難。山坡上似乎有絲光和銀色,大海依然蔚藍。在月光下,我們變得不那么精于算計,更容易被我們的感情所吸引。

英語作文 篇5
should young students learn to do housework?
nowadays, we can see some boys and girls who live in a small world of their own. they bury themselves among books and are proud of themselves. they think that it will make them lose their face if they do housework for they often think themselves very noble.
these young people are wrong. in my opinion every student should have a knowledge of housework. after all, they will have a family of their own, and they should do their part in keeping a good home. boys should also learn to do housework, for what will they do if they remain single? though not all boys remain single,yet they will be very helpful in the family if they know some housework. anyhow they will not lose anything, but, on the contrary, they will gain something useful.
for what i said above, we can find some eamples of our fellow-students studying abroad. all young men do housework as girls do. someone would argue that we can employ servants. this is true.however, what shall we do if the servant leaves us and all things are left to ourselves? we just cannot leave our clothes as they are and let worms and ants eat them up. and what can we do it we go and study in a foreign country where servants are out our means to employ? we must work for ourselves. why not start to learn to do housework now or else it will be too late? everyone should learn to do housework. what do you think about my idea, boys and girls?
英語作文 篇6
有句俗話說:不登長城非好漢。今天呱呱就帶大家到萬里長城入海的地方——老龍頭去看一看。
我們現(xiàn)在看到的長城是明朝的時候重新修繕的。老龍頭就是它東端的起點?隙ㄓ腥艘獑柫耍簑hy is it called laolongtou (old dragons head)? 我們習慣上把萬里長城比喻成一條長龍,laolongtou is the eastern end of the ming dynasty great wall etending into the sea. 那入海處的這段長城就恰好是喝水的龍頭了。像這樣深入大海的長城這可是惟一的一處呢。
離老龍頭不遠,就是號稱“天下第一關”的山海關。the shanhaiguan pass was built in 1381.它和居庸關、嘉峪關并稱為“中國三大雄關”。
游客們到了山海關,有一件必做的事情,就是和“天下第一關”這塊牌匾合影。look at the plaque (匾額). do you find anything strange? 仔細看,原來,這塊匾額上沒有落款,也沒有印章!這和中國的書法傳統(tǒng)可不相符哦!
there is an interesting story about the plaque. the inscription on this plaque was written by iao ian. 肖顯是明代著名的書法家。he wrote all the characters well ecept the word "yi". 正在他發(fā)愁的`時候,一個店小二用抹布擦桌子的時候給他帶來了靈感。a mark of water was left on the table, which was in eactly the same style as "yi". 于是肖顯趕緊把這個水印用到他的匾額上了。
提起長城,大家一定都會想起那個傳說中哭倒了整座長城的孟姜女。her story has moved many people. 在老龍頭就有一座孟姜女廟。廟里有一幅非常有意思的對聯(lián):海水朝朝朝朝朝朝朝落,浮云長長長長長長長消。so many “朝” and “長”! 念起來要好費勁啊!
其實這副對聯(lián)的學問就在于多音字和斷句。這個“朝”啊就是一個多音字。既可以念“朝”又可以念“朝”。而那個“長”又是一個多音字。既可以念“長”又可以念“長”。
因此這幅對聯(lián)可以這樣念:hai shui chao, zhao zhao chao, zhao chao zhao luo. fu yun zhang, chang chang zhang, chang zhang chang iao. 還有其他的念法,你可以自己試試哦!
好了,這次我們就游覽到這兒。十一長假快到了,you can visit the great wall during this holiday. don’t forget to take pictures and share them with us!
英語作文 篇7
Part Ⅴ : Writing : Lucky Numbers (30 points)
最近幾年,一直流行幸運花、幸運石、幸運數(shù)字等說法,即有些東西與人的命運聯(lián)系在一起,如果掌握住了,就會使自己生活幸福,你對這種現(xiàn)象有何看法?
要求:①題目:自擬。
②敘述要有條理,觀點明確,翻譯題目提示不得分。
、墼~數(shù)120詞左右。
The lucky-number has become increasingly popular in daily life of mordern socialty. For example, the number eight means big money which people like most, while the number four means death.
Some people believe lucky numbers so deeply that they will afford a telephone with numbers without four and others which is bad in their mind. they argue that the lucky-number really can bring good luck, and, at least, no evidence testify they can not.
As far as I am concerned, there is no such relationship betwwen the numbers and lucky, for the reason that numbers theirself are given certain meaning for the purpose of application of mathmetic. And, In addition, man should not depend on lucky which, in their mind, the numbers gives them.(英語作文)
英語作文 篇8
afternoon was mrs. conroy's favorite time of day. after a hard day at work, her eyes were tired and her feet hurt. she enjoyed the nice long nap she took on the bus. mrs. conroy had made friends with the bus driver, mr. angstrom. he always woke her up before her stop. she usually felt fresh as a daisy when she got off the bus. but today was different. mr. angstrom wasn't driving. a small man in a wrinkled uniform sat in the driver's seat."where's mr. angstrom?" asked mrs. conroy, dropping her money into the bo."i don't know. sick, i guess. i just work here, lady. step to the rear."mrs. conroy hoped that mr. angstrom was all right. she didn't like this new driver. she decided not to sleep on the way home today. she didn't want to ask this driver to wake her. he didn't look like the type who'd want to do anyone a favor.mrs. conroy looked out the window. it was a warm afternoon. though she tried to keep her eyes open, the gentle rocking of the bus had a lulling effect. within a few minutes her eyes closed. her head dropped to her shoulders. in spite of herself, mrs. conroy fell fast asleep.the net thing mrs. conroy knew, a hand was on her shoulder. someone was shaking her awake."wake up, lady. we've come to the end of the line. wake up."mrs. conroy blinked and opened her eyes. the bus driver looked down at her. "i said, this is the end of the line, lady. time to get off the bus."mrs. conroy peered out the window. "where am i?" she asked. "i was supposed to get off at esse avenue.""you're at the last stop, lady. come on, get off the bus. i have a schedule to keep to."mrs. conroy was having trouble waking up. she staggered to her feet. the bus driver took her arm and helped her down the aisle. as she stepped off the bus, she felt a sense of panic. "wait a minute," she said in a shrill voice. "this isn't esse avenue. where am i? how can i get home?""cool off, lady. i told you, you're at the end of the line. we all make it here sooner or later.""but why can't i ride back with you?" she pleaded. "i have the fare!""sorry, lady," he said as he closed the door. "it's against the rules."mrs. conroy watched the bus disappear down the road. she looked around and tried to figure out what part of the city she was in. suddenly the sun seemed awfully bright.mrs. conroy squinted. she didn't recognize this place. there were no trees around, no street signs, and no people. the city seemed to have ended miles back. she couldn't get her bearings. there was nothing to see in any direction. nothing at all. mrs. conroy wondered if she were still dreaming."are you ready, madam?"the voice came from behind her. mrs. conroy whirled around, her heart beating rapidly."who? what? are you speaking to me?"a tall, handsome man in a blue pin-striped suit stepped forward. his suit reminded her of the one that her boss, mr. burton, always wore. what was a businessman doing so far out here in the country?the man smiled. "yes, mrs. conroy. i've come to meet you. it's time to go now.""go where? what are you talking about? and how do you know my name?" the man in the blue suit smiled."i know it must be very confusing, mrs. conroy. most people seem to feel that way at first. but as we go along, everything will become quite clear." he took her by the arm. "it's all right," he said kindly. "just come with me.""no! i'm not going anywhere with you. why should i? i don't even know who you are," mrs. conroy said. she pulled away from the man and stepped back.the man smiled gently. "i'm only an assistant, mrs. conroy," he said."well, mr. assistant, there must be some mistake. i just fell asleep and stayed on the bus too long. then the driver made me get off. he wouldn't take me back with him! he talked some nonsense about rules. i'm going to call the company and report him!""he was just doing his job, mrs. conroy," the man said patiently."but he left me out here alone," mrs. conroy said. "now it's getting late. i have to get home and fi dinner. what kind of bus driver refuses to take passengers?"the man in the blue suit stepped toward mrs. conroy and took her arm again. this time she didn't resist. he patted her hand and smiled down at her. "you'll have to forgive the driver for being rude, mrs. conroy. he's new at the job. but he was only following orders. you see, mrs. conroy, this is the end of the line. you don't have to worry about getting home and fiing dinner.our passengers only go one way."
