2013年6月英语六级作文解析
最新大学英语六级考试在一片怨声载道中落下了帷幕。绝大多数考生都反映今年六级作文题目相当难,完全没有hold住,超出了可驾驭的范围之内。按常规,英语六级考试作文的题材均为贴近大学生的学习和课余生活的校园题材,或者是有关社会发展,变化和进步的热点话题。而究其细节,无外乎分为观点对比类,社会热点类,图表类,书信类,谚语格言类五大话题,而今年的考题如2011年12月份的六级作文The Way to Success出题人的思路如出一辙,与以往很多“现象类”或“争议类”考题不同,要求评述一句格言——考察了一个冷门“谚语格言类”话题。而且从2012年12月份开始,教育部就已经对四六级考试的作文单项进行了改革,实行“多题多卷”的考法。所以考生拿到题目,会产生一种莫名的陌生感和恐惧感。但果真无从下手吗?非也。
这次英语六级作文的三道作文考题,题目分别为1) Good habits result from resisting temptation. 2) A smile is the shortest distance between two people. 来自于Victor Borge 3) Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed。仔细分析这些作文考题不难发现,就题目而言,都属于谚语格言题型。而且大都是对于在校大学生精神品质,行为习惯,道德修养的变相考察。旨在培养学生在如此纷繁复杂的社会中应该持有的世界观价值观。
针对这种耳熟能详的谚语格言题,笔者在课堂中曾反复明确强调:作文完全可以按照老的套路和步骤进行。下面就题目一来具体分析。首先依据背景材料来提出问题,“良好的习惯来源于抵制诱惑”表述充足的抵制诱惑对于良好习惯乃至成功人士的重要性。之后分析这一问题,即文章的主题段落,在课堂上反复提到过的三种论证方法:因果,正反,举例。这个题目其实比较有利于考生的发挥。可以引用名人名言,也可以引用成功的实例或者自己的经历加以佐证。但是要注意,情绪渲染点到为止,否则,不仅不会打动阅卷老师,反而有不够缜密和结构松散之嫌。最后一段提出个人建议,喊口号,发倡议,表决心等等,上课时候都已经总结了相关句型,只要平时功夫深,这篇作文轻而易举的拿下。所以,重点是看懂题目,并且能把题目解释成一到两个简单的关键词。中文理解力很重要。能理解,行文就是模板。不能理解,模板就是废物。
同时应该注意,我们可以从这次六级作文看出一些出卷子的倾向,一是六级的考题越来越关注考生的综合能力,命题的内容重点日益与社会热点及大学生相关联,考生在平时需要加强对于英文词汇的使用和积累。请各位同学务必关注时事,关注热点,关注生活。也是反复强调的:我们要把六级作文写成完形填空的形式,所以大家务必搜集总结记忆核心话题的核心词汇,我们在课上也有过相应总结。
二是考试切忌投机取巧。之前各大培训机构纷纷押题“社会热点”,认为谚语格言题已经多年未考,不再关注。而如今这座沉默多年的火山的再次喷发,让诸多学子不知所措。还是应验了那句话,我们不猜题不压题,广大新东方学员学到的是不变应万变的应试写作方法。所以还是在课堂上反复强调的:一切押题都是浮云,掌握知识乃是王道!希望各位同学吸取教训,切莫在考试中打心理战,存在侥幸心理。唯有踏踏实实的复习才能百战不殆,笑傲六级考场!
下面,笔者觐献拙作一篇,以期同仁不吝赐教.
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.
