专四英语作文历年考题(1992~ 2009)及其类型
如上表所示,从1992年到2010年共19年的专业四级作文来看,全部都为提纲式作文。
1 提纲式作文
提纲式作文为考生提供了明确的英文题目与一个简单的写作提纲,将考生的写作控制在一定范围内。它要求考生紧扣题目主题,并根据提纲提示的思路和要点展开段落。由于提供的写作提纲一般分为提出论点、论证或描述论点和总结全文等三部分,所以考生必须按照三段式作文将简单的提纲扩展为主题句,再按照主题句作文的写作方法进行文章写作。
按照命题形式,提纲式作文又可进一步划分为三个具体的命题类型:
1)对比选择型
对比选择型的题目,在提出一个话题后,通常给出这个话题的两种观点或两种选择,然后要求考生分析对比两个观点或两种选择的优缺点,从两者中选出一种作为自己作文的论点,并论证其正确性。
2)给定观点型
给定观点型的题目,在提出一个话题之后,同时也给定了关于这个话题的一种观点,要求考生以这个给定的观点作为作文的论点进行论证。这种类型作文的关键是如何能够很好地论证给定的观点。
3)自由发挥型
自由发挥型的题目,在提出一个话题之后,可能会提供一些大家对此话题的观点和看法,要求考生通过利用已给定的材料做出自己的分析,然后发挥想象力,提出并论证自己的观点。题目对考生的观点不做限定,只要不离开给出的话题即可。考生既可以从题目给出的观点选一个作为自己的观点,也可以自己提出一个题目没有的想法。
从1992年到2009年共18年的专业四级作文来看,采用对比选择型命题方式的作文最多,有9个,可以分为三类:www.shanpow.com_专四作文分析。
