距離最后的考試已經(jīng)不到兩個(gè)月的時(shí)間,最后的沖刺序幕正式拉開。英語復(fù)習(xí)到這個(gè)階段,最重要的就是作文。要想在最后的考試成績中脫穎而出,現(xiàn)階段就必須要把精力放在分值占在30分的寫作上。
考研英語中大作文的要求是內(nèi)容切題、表達(dá)清楚、文字連貫、句式多變和語言規(guī)范。小作文考察點(diǎn)在信息點(diǎn)的覆蓋、語言的準(zhǔn)確性、文章組織的連貫性上。
其中小作文占10分,分為求職信、祝賀信、道歉信、詢問信、推薦信、感謝信、邀請(qǐng)信、辭職信等等二十多種應(yīng)用文。每個(gè)類別都有相對(duì)固定的語言模式,都有固定詞語要求。
便簽“寫作三步走”:日期→說明事由和目的→直接署名
注意:
日期通常寫在便簽的右上角;由于便簽提及的事情通常都是發(fā)生在近期的事情,所以日期寫明年的日期即可;如果是寫給朋友的,開頭的稱呼通常直接寫名字,省略Dear。稱呼和最后的署名都比較簡單隨意。
范文解析:
Directions: Write a note to Prof. Li, appointing a time for a discussion about the first draft of your graduate paper. Do not sign your own name at the end of the note. Use “Wang Hua” instead.
Dear Prof. Li,
Could I see you sometime next week? I’d like to know your comments on the first draft of my graduate paper before I begin my second one. I am writing about the features of Romanticism Literature in English, which was mentioned in your English literature class and was inspired by your remarks in one of those classes. I believe through your instruction I could have a deeper insight into this subject.
Could you please fix a time (I am free on Monday and Tuesday afternoon as well as Thursday and Friday) and leave a message for me with the Secretary at the Department Office? Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Wang Hua
