2018英语专业八级作文summary写作方法解析
首先,要跳读原文,思考主旨。通过快速浏览材料,考生应当大致把握文章内容。
其次,全面阅读全文,挑出表达观点的内容。给考生阅读的材料一般都以多个来自不同行业的人,针对某个问题发表观点。有的内容大家一眼就能看出来TA支持某观点与否,而某些人的话还需要同学们好好思考。这时候需要同学多揣摩,多动脑。
下面以广场舞话题为例,给大家看看如何在“隐晦”的文字下提炼观点。
examples
Speaker A:
I just wanted some sleep and I shouted loudly because I was so angry about the annoying noise.
Speaker B:
It’s in my face, in my ears, and in fact, it right bang in my home. I have an infant daughter... I fear that the first words she will speak are the saccharine lyrics that waft daily through the windows.
这两个观点可能刚开始读文章的时候不太容易看出来作者的表达倾向,因为并没有什么disagree以及表达强烈情感的形容词。但是读过之后,很明显可以看出这两位发言者对广场舞极其反对。Speaker A说“需要睡觉”、“大声喊叫”,因为对恼人的声音极其反感。而Speaker B担心“女儿说的第一句话是广场舞的歌词”,足见广场舞的负面影响,对家庭生活甚至对小孩教育都是如此。所以,大家只要静下心来,动动脑子分析,观点总会出来的。有一个写作的原则还是要告诉大家,无论发言者的观点多么具有主观性(就像Speaker B那样),同学们也要客观进行描述。所以,这两种“主观性很强”的观点就可以概括为However, some people oppose square dances in public places based on the following reasons. First, the loud music from square dances may disturb their rest. ... 总结某些观点要用自己的话,用最精确的语言高度概括原文的主要观点。
最后就要列出summary的提纲,然后就可以写自己对该问题的看法了。总结段之后不能过于唐突地跳到自己的观点,同学需要写一些过渡到自己观点的内容,这样的衔接会更加自然。
给大家奉上Summary常见总结观点的句型。
1. Some people favor... However, some others are more conservative... Therefore,...
2. Some people believe that..., but in the long run,... Some think that...
3. We used to be filled with... However, when it comes to the question of... people disagree with each other.
