快寫(xiě)要點(diǎn)
如何在30分鐘內(nèi)快速、整潔寫(xiě)完文章。 快速: 熟悉考場(chǎng)寫(xiě)作三個(gè)步驟的時(shí)間分配:
第一步:審題、確定立場(chǎng)、列出理由(只需要在草稿紙上用英文單詞或漢語(yǔ)列出各個(gè)理由,防止遺忘)最少3分鐘最多5分鐘:
要避免兩個(gè)極端: 用時(shí)太少,理由沒(méi)有想清楚就開(kāi)始寫(xiě)作,不僅造成文章邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)不清,還會(huì)引起行文中頻繁的修正,欲速則不達(dá); 用時(shí)太多,不要追求一次思考就能把每一條理由及相關(guān)例證都想出來(lái)。其實(shí)想出兩條之后就可以動(dòng)筆,各個(gè)理由的例證可以寫(xiě)到該段時(shí)邊思考邊寫(xiě)。這一點(diǎn)你不必懷疑,只要你的思維還是正常的,一定能做到。
第二步:正文寫(xiě)作最少22分鐘最多26分鐘:
a. 各段寫(xiě)作時(shí)注意對(duì)段落的不同部分給予不同的重視:主題句給予最大重視,注意煉句,別說(shuō)你不想寫(xiě)主題句,主題句可以使讀者和筆者本人更清晰該段落寫(xiě)什么。各段中支持性細(xì)節(jié)寫(xiě)作不必遵循相同的模式:
有n種選擇可供參考:1. 舉具體事例 2. 說(shuō)對(duì)方相對(duì)缺點(diǎn)3. 使用數(shù)據(jù) 4. 使用假想例子5. 使用類(lèi)比、比喻、引用等修辭手段來(lái)論述。 哪一種你最容易想出來(lái),就用哪一種。
b.考前將文章開(kāi)頭、結(jié)尾、例證、讓步等各種句套背熟練,并且練習(xí)和模考時(shí)把他們用熟,要象做完型填空一樣對(duì)待考場(chǎng)作文。別試圖在考場(chǎng)上再現(xiàn)去決定比如哪種開(kāi)頭好,怎樣結(jié)尾好。使用自己選種的套話。
c.當(dāng)被告知還有5分鐘結(jié)束時(shí),一般你已經(jīng)該寫(xiě)到最后一條理由,或者已經(jīng)在做結(jié)尾。要確保文章有結(jié)尾段。(不排除將他和最后一條理由的末段結(jié)合在一起的可能性)
第三步:檢查
需要1-3分鐘
有側(cè)重點(diǎn)地檢查:
1、句法:確保每句話是完整的,有謂語(yǔ),且簡(jiǎn)單句只有一個(gè)謂語(yǔ)。
2、時(shí)態(tài):文章絕大部分使用的是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí);一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)第三人稱要使用單數(shù);使用過(guò)去發(fā)生的事例時(shí)用的是過(guò)去時(shí);
3、主謂一致
按此三步,持續(xù)練習(xí)5篇以上,可以確保時(shí)間問(wèn)題。
整潔:
A、TWE要求必須用鉛筆寫(xiě)作文,你要自己準(zhǔn)備好鉛筆和橡皮。橡皮要有韌性,太硬會(huì)擦破紙,有錯(cuò)誤要擦干凈再改;
B、第一遍寫(xiě)作時(shí)要求字跡不要太大也不要太小,通常一行寫(xiě)10-12個(gè)左右單詞為宜。如果書(shū)法不好,可以在考前練習(xí)寫(xiě)一下斜體的26個(gè)字母的寫(xiě)法。(別笑,此法被人屢試屢爽)
一篇外籍專(zhuān)家對(duì)TWE文章的評(píng)改報(bào)告
The following TOEFL essay was written by a non-native English speaker. Note the way the essay was analyzed for content, organization and grammar.
TOEFL Essay Question-------------題目
Supporters of technology say that it solves problems and makes life better. Opponents argue that technology creates new problems that may threaten or damage the quality of life. Using one or two examples, discuss these two positions. Which view of technology do you support? Why?
Student’s unedited answer------學(xué)生例文
Technology is improved especially in developed countries. Our lives is connected to technology. Technology is used in everyday life. People use it in different ways. It can make our lives better, but it can be cruel if it’s used for bad purposes.
First, technology makes our lives better because it serves us well and helps us save time. As we can see one of well-known inventions is internet. For example, in the developed countries, Internet are used in everyday life. It’ s used in schools and businesses because it provides a lot of information about anything all over the world.
On the other hand, technology can be very dangerous for us. Because of its ability of finding information, our personal information can no longer be sec ret. For instance, computer is used to keep most of the information. In other cases, hackers can search to our secret file and steal the information via computer. Another example is that some companies can search and find information about us just by our credit card receipts or checks. That could make our lives worse than before.
In short, technology gives us many advantages.

Analysis of student’s answer
Content
A. Understanding the question
You must discuss both sides of the issue and then tell which side you support. In your answer, you did discuss both sides, but you did not tell which view of technology you supported.
B. Restating the question
Your first paragraph is a good attempt to restate the question but it does not include all the information from the original question. Here is an example of a restatement of the question:
Some people feel that technology enhances our lives and others feel technology is damaging to our lives. We are connected to technology. Computers, television, and cars are all the result of technology. It can make our lives better, however, it can be bad if it’s used for negative purposes.
C. Body paragraphs and final paragraph
Be sure each paragraph in the body of your essay begins with a main idea (or topic sentence) and is followed by support and examples. The last sentence of each paragraph should be a concluding sentence. You have good ideas, but you should include more examples in the body of the essay.
In body paragraph #1, provide more information about how technology helps us save time and add a concluding sentence. Here is an example of what you could include:
For example, students can use the internet to research information for term papers. They can also access information about colleges and universities, book reviews, news and weather, famous people...the list is endless. Businesses also benefit from the internet. They can reach a global audience with their products and services. In addition, they can go online and examine their competitors’ products, services and prices. The benefits of technology are numerous.
Body paragraph #2 needs a clearer concluding sentence. For example: Using technology for this type of negative purpose causes us lots of problem s and makes our lives difficult. Your final paragraph should summarize your main ideas and include your view of technology. You have not done that. Here is an example of a possible final paragraph:
In short, there are both positive and negative aspects to technology. I support the continued development of technology because the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I feel that technology is needed to help us move forward. Without it, our lives will remain stagnant.
Organization
Good overall essay organization. Good use of transitions such as first, on the other hand, in short. Organization within paragraphs is good. You begin with the main idea and then give support. Remember to include a concluding sentence for each paragraph.
Grammar
Your grammar is not bad. You should focus on improving your subject-verb agreement and word choice. Below are examples of these two grammatical problems taken from your essay.
Subject-Verb Agreement
Paragraph 1: our lives is (should be) our lives are
Paragraph 2: internet are used (should be) internet is used
Paragraph 3: computer is used (should be) computers are used Word Choice
Paragraph 1: cruel (better choice:) bad
Paragraph 1: bad (better choice:) negative
Paragraph 3: ability of finding (better choice:) capable of finding
