在最后兩個(gè)月,對(duì)于考研英語(yǔ)來(lái)說(shuō),同學(xué)應(yīng)該在寫作方面多下一些工夫。因?yàn)槲覀冋J(rèn)為考試的分?jǐn)?shù)最后可能會(huì)在寫作方面拉開(kāi)同學(xué)分?jǐn)?shù)的差距,而寫作又是通過(guò)自己的主觀努力在短期內(nèi)能快速突破的。同學(xué)們可以把近五年年的作文真題逐一地進(jìn)行練習(xí)。練習(xí)的好處就是可以使大家要找到考場(chǎng)上的實(shí)戰(zhàn)的感覺(jué)。
考研作文一般要求寫兩篇,就是通常所說(shuō)的大小作文。大作文一般以漫畫為主,題材多采用議論文的方式進(jìn)行。要求首先對(duì)漫畫進(jìn)行描述,然后就是針對(duì)漫畫中反映的事件,提煉出一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)來(lái),再用議論文的方式進(jìn)行寫作。但這有一個(gè)大前提,就是要看懂漫畫?佳杏⒄Z(yǔ)的漫畫一般比較簡(jiǎn)單、直觀,不需要想太多、太深。做該題重點(diǎn)應(yīng)放在兩個(gè)方面:一個(gè)方面就是描寫漫畫,語(yǔ)言應(yīng)簡(jiǎn)練,保證沒(méi)有語(yǔ)病,但有一定的字?jǐn)?shù)。一般應(yīng)安排在50個(gè)單詞左右。另一個(gè)方面就是主題了。首先要精煉論點(diǎn),充分論證,提出解決的措施。這里可以用一些模版,多找一些精美的英語(yǔ)套句。
對(duì)于字?jǐn)?shù)的要求,要求不少于100個(gè)單詞;一般應(yīng)保證在110-120個(gè)單詞;不少于200個(gè)單詞,一般應(yīng)保證在210-230個(gè)單詞。
為了幫助考研同學(xué)順利通過(guò)考研英語(yǔ)寫作這一關(guān)。結(jié)合多年考研的實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn),我總結(jié)了一些精煉的英語(yǔ)套句,以方便大家備考。
考研英語(yǔ)大作文寫作的文章一般包括一個(gè)開(kāi)頭段、若干擴(kuò)展段和一個(gè)結(jié)尾段。開(kāi)頭段和結(jié)尾段一般比擴(kuò)展段短。各種段落的作用、特點(diǎn)和寫作方法如下:
