第四节应试指导
一、统筹安排时间
写作部分共20分钟,约占全部考试时间的20%。在20分钟内,考生要完成对题目要求的阅读、更改三个句子、写完一篇作文,时间比较紧张。因此统筹安排时间非常重要。为在较短的时间内较好地完成题目的要求,在时间分配上,改写句子部分不要超过5分钟,这一部分分值较少,而且答案单一,对错分明,易于完成;15分钟留给作文,作文需要组织材料,构思语句,加工润色,整个过程较为复杂。因此要多安排时间。
二、确定写作内容
由于一级的作文相对比较简单,所以写作内容的确定也就相对比较容易。只要考生抓住题目当中的有用信息就不会跑题。在阅读题目指示时,要开动脑筋,首先找出包含在情景和任务中的几点信息(通常为四点),根据这些信息来安排内容,确定主题,动手写作。
三、控制字数
一级考试其试卷中明确规定作文的字数为50个单词左右,大纲中的评分标准中提到“字数少于40或多于60的(不包括标点符号)从总分中减去1分”,所以考生要特别注意作文的字数。只要内容紧扣情景和任务中已给出的信息,不写与主题无关的话,每一个要点用一句话表述清楚,基本上可以将字数控制在50个左右。
四、保持卷面整洁
大纲中的评分标准中明确指出“如书写较差,以致影响交际,将分数降低一个档次。”所以,在书写的过程中,最好先打腹稿,以免下笔后再涂改,造成卷面的脏乱。平时也要养成良好的书写习惯。否则,因为书写问题而降低作文的档次,就很可惜了。
五、检查
写完后,还需要以读者和阅卷人的眼光,将文章审读一遍,找出在写作过程中产生的一些问题,如单词的拼写错误、词组搭配错误和句子的语法结构错误等,以及写出的东西是否达到了题目的要求,是否表达出了自己想要表达的内容。
另外,一级的写作依据是具体情景,强调语言的实用性和真实性。所以,平时要注意观察生活,积累生活常识,这样在写作时,才能下笔有物。
