英語四級提出問題作文
1. 英語四級作文的問題
1.你的作文沒有什麼明顯標志吧
2.你的作文沒有大段摘抄什麼地方的東西吧
3.你的第一張答題卡有沒有錯誤
如果你確信這些沒問題,每個單項都有個最低分數,低於他還是按最低分計算。應該什麼地方出問題了吧。

1. 目前出現許多年輕人變成卡奴現象 2. 出現這一現象的原因 3. 我對這一現象的看法和建議作文範文∶On Card Slave

英語四級作文題目2∶ Free Admission to Parks
1. 越來越多的公園免費開放,目的是什麼 2. 也會帶來一些問題 3. 你的看法【範文】
Free Admission to Parks
To encourage people to go outside and relax, a mounting number of parks offer free admission now.People benefit from it especially ring these tough economic times. With free entry,more people will have the opportunity for affordable vacations for families, taking pleasure in the natural landscape.
Fresh air and landscapes in parks are good for people.However,too many people flocking into parks might not be so good for the parks.
For example,some visitors leave their garbage behind, which may cause environmental polltion.And peoples barbeques and stamping willalso bring damage to the grassland and other greeneries in parks.
As auniversity student, Im in favor of free admission to parks.Free entry to parks not only saves peoples expenditure,but also makes things fairer people like the poor and students can go to parks frequently as well.On the other hand, visitors should be informed to preserve the environment while enjoying the beauty of the nature.
英語四級作文題目3∶ The Internet

英語四級作文題目4∶ Group Purchasing
1.現在團購很流行
2. 團購有很多好處,但也有不少問題 3. 我的建議作文範文∶ Group Purchasing
In recent years,a new type of online shopping is rapidly gaining popularity group purchasing, which was originally introced from foreign countries but is now widely accepted all over China.People can buy not only goods,but alsoall kinds of services on group purchasing sites.
Group purchasing is very convenient, and saves people alot ofmoney.But italso has some problems. Since group purchasing is nothing more than another form of online shopping, the nature of it is no dfferent from other online shopping pattens.Problemsthat exist in online shopping also can be found in group purchasing, like deceptive advertisements or poor after-sale services.
In my opinion, we should treat group purchasing as a way of shopping and nothing more.We must be carefulnot to buy something we dont need only to fllow the fashion.
3. 有關英語四級的作文字數的問題
或許會扣一點吧!那要看批你的卷子的老師是怎麼想的了,說不定他(她回)覺得你寫得不答錯,還會加一點吧.但也許他也怕煩,沒心思看你寫的東西.這要看你的造化了.下次最好不要寫太多,因為參加四級考試的人實在太多了.或許老師看四級作文就像看高考語文作文一樣吧,看個開頭,看個結尾,當中略微看一下.我不多說了,祝你這次順利吧!
4. 英語四級作文中問題 高手進
英語寫作萬能公式
開頭萬能公式:
1. 開頭萬能公式一:名人名言
有人問了,「我沒有記住名言,怎麼辦?尤其是英語名言?」,很好辦:編!
原理:我們看到的東西很多都是創造出來的,包括我們欣賞的文章也是,所以盡管編,但是一定要聽起來很有道理呦!而且沒准將來我們就是名人呢!對吧?
經典句型:
A proberb says, 「 You are only young once.」 (適用於已記住的名言)
It goes without saying that we cannot be young forever. (適用於自編名言)
更多經典句型:
As everyone knows, No one can deny that…
2. 開頭萬能公式二:數字統計
原理:要想更有說服力,就應該用實際的數字來說明。
原則上在議論文當中十不應該出現虛假數字的,可是在考試的時候哪管那三七二十一,但編無妨,只要我有東西寫就萬事大吉了。所以不妨試用下面的句型:
According to a recent survey, about 78.9% of the college students wanted to further their study after their graation.
看起來這個數字文鄒鄒的,其實都是編造出來的,下面隨便幾個題目我們都可以這樣編造:
Honesty
根據最近的一項統計調查顯示,大學生向老師請假的理由當中78%都是假的。
Travel by Bike
根據最近的一項統計調查顯示,85%的人在近距離旅行的時候首選的交通工具是自行車。
Youth
根據最近的一項統計調查顯示,在某個大學,學生的課余時間的70%都是在休閑娛樂。
Five-day Work Week Better than Six-day Work?
根據最近的一項統計調查顯示,98%的人同意每周五天工作日。
更多句型:
A recent statistics shows that …
寫作絕招
結尾萬能公式:
1. 結尾萬能公式一:如此結論
說完了,畢竟要歸納一番,相信各位都有這樣的經歷,領導長篇大論,到最後終於冒出個「總而言之」之類的話,我們馬上停止開小差,等待領導說結束語。也就是說,開頭很好,也必然要有一個精彩的結尾,讓讀者眼前一亮,這樣,你就可以拿高分了!比如下面的例子:
Obviously(此為過渡短語), we can draw the conclusion that good manners arise from politeness and respect for others.
如果讀者很難「顯而見之」,但說無妨,就當讀者的眼光太淺罷了!
更多過渡短語:
to sum up, in conclusion, in brief, on account of this, thus
更多句型:
Thus, it can be concluded that…, Therefore, we can find that…
2. 結尾萬能公式二:如此建議
如果說「如此結論」是結尾最沒用的廢話,那麼「如此建議」應該是最有價值的廢話了,因為這里雖然也是廢話,但是卻用了一個很經典的虛擬語氣的句型。拽!
Obviously, it is high time that we took some measures to solve the problem.
這里的虛擬語氣用得很經典,因為考官本來經常考這個句型,而如果我們自己寫出來,你說考官會怎麼想呢?
更多句型:
Accordingly, I recommend that some measures be taken.
Consequently, to solve the problem, some measures should be taken.
寫作絕招
寫作的「七項基本原則」:
一、 長 短 句原則
工作還得一張一馳呢,老讓讀者讀長句,累死人!寫一個短小精闢的句子,相反,卻可以起到畫龍點睛的作用。而且如果我們把短句放在段首或者段末,也可以揭示主題:
Asa creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet theprimary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectualneed of mind, they are in a way quite similar.
如此可見,長短句結合,抑揚頓挫,豈不爽哉?牢記!
強烈建議:在文章第一段(開頭)用一長一短,且先長後短;在文章主體部分,要先用一個短句解釋主要意思,然後在闡述幾個要點的時候採用先短後長的句群形式,定會讓主體部分妙筆生輝!文章結尾一般用一長一短就可以了。
二、 主 題 句原則
國有其君,家有其主,文章也要有其主。否則會給人造成「群龍無首」之感!相信各位讀過一些破爛文學,故意把主體隱藏在文章之內,結果造成我們稀里糊塗!不知所雲!所以奉勸各位一定要寫一個主題句,放在文章的開頭(保險型)或者結尾,讓讀者一目瞭然,必會平安無事!
特別提示:隱藏主體句可是要冒險的!
To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主題句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.
三、 一 二 三原則
領導講話總是第一部分、第一點、第二點、第三點、第二部分、第一點… 如此羅嗦。可畢竟還是條理清楚。考官們看文章也必然要通過這些關鍵性的「標簽」來判定你的文章是否結構清楚,條理自然。破解方法很簡單,只要把下面任何一組的詞彙加入到你的幾個要點前就清楚了。
1)first, second, third, last(不推薦,原因:俗)
2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推薦,原因:俗)
3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推薦,原因:俗)
4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推薦,原因:俗)
5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(強烈推薦)
6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(強烈推薦)
7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(強烈推薦)
8)most important of all, moreover, finally
9)on the one hand, on the other hand(適用於兩點的情況)
10)for one thing, for another thing(適用於兩點的情況)
建議:不僅僅在寫作中注意,平時說話的時候也應該條理清楚!
四、 短語優先原則
寫作時,尤其是在考試時,如果使用短語,有兩個好處:其一、用短語會使文章增加亮點,如果老師們看到你的文章太簡單,看不到一個自己不認識的短語,必然會看你低一等。相反,如果發現亮點—精彩的短語,那麼你的文章定會得高分了。其二、關鍵時刻思維短路,只有湊字數,怎麼辦?用短語是一個辦法!比如:
I cannot bear it.
可以用短語表達:I cannot put up with it.
I want it.
可以用短語表達:I am looking forward to it.
這樣字數明顯增加,表達也更准確。
五、 多實少虛原則
原因很簡單,寫文章還是應該寫一些實際的東西,不要空話連篇。這就要求一定要多用實詞,少用虛詞。我這里所說的虛詞就是指那些比較大的詞。比如我們說一個很好的時候,不應該之說nice這樣空洞的詞,應該使用一些諸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital 之類的形象詞。再比如:
走出房間,general的詞是:walk out of the room
但是小偷走出房間應該說:slip out of the room
小姐走出房間應該說:sail out of the room
小孩走出房間應該說:dance out of the room
老人走出房間應該說:stagger out of the room
所以多用實詞,少用虛詞,文章將會大放異彩!
六、 多變句式原則
1)加法(串聯)
都希望寫下很長的句子,像個老外似的,可就是怕寫錯,怎麼辦,最保險的寫長句的方法就是這些,可以在任何句子之間加and, 但最好是前後的句子又先後關系或者並列關系。比如說:
I enjor music and he is fond of playing guitar.
如果是二者並列的,我們可以用一個超級句式:
Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm.
其它的短語可以用:
besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover
2)轉折(拐彎抹角)
批評某人缺點的時候,我們總習慣先拐彎抹角說說他的優點,然後轉入正題,再說缺點,這種方式雖然陰險了點,可畢竟還比較容易讓人接受。所以呢,我們說話的時候,只要在要點之前先來點廢話,注意二者之間用個專這次就夠了。
The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition.
The coat was thin, but it was warm.
更多的短語:
despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding
3)因果(so, so, so)
昨天在街上我看到了一個女孩,然後我主動搭訕,然後我們去咖啡廳,然後我們認識了,然後我們成為了朋友…可見,講故事的時候我們總要追求先後順序,先什麼,後什麼,所以然後這個詞就變得很常見了。其實這個詞表示的是先後或因果關系!
The snow began to fall, so we went home.
更多短語:
then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that
4)失衡句(頭重腳輕,或者頭輕腳重)
有些人腦袋大,身體小,或者有些人腦袋小,身體大,雖然我們不希望長成這個樣子,可如果真的是這樣了,也就必然會吸引別人的注意力。文章中如果出現這樣的句子,就更會讓考官看到你的句子與眾不同。其實就是主語從句,表語從句,賓語從句的變形。
舉例:This is what I can do.
Whether he can go with us or not is not sure.
同樣主語、賓語、表語可以改成如下的復雜成分:
When to go, Why he goes away…
5)附加(多此一舉)
如果有了老婆,總會遇到這樣的情況,當你再講某個人的時候,她會插一句說,我昨天見過他;或者說,就是某某某,如果把老婆的話插入到我們的話裡面,那就是定語從句和同位語從句或者是插入語。
The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine.
I don』t enjoy that book you are reading.
Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going.
其實很簡單,同位語--要解釋的東西刪除後不影響整個句子的構成;定語從句—借用之前的關鍵詞並且用其重新組成一個句子插入其中,但是whom or that 關鍵詞必須要緊跟在先行詞之前。
6)排比(排山倒海句)
文學作品中最吸引人的地方莫過於此,如果非要讓你的文章更加精彩的話,那麼我希望你引用一個個的排比句,一個個得對偶句,一個個的不定式,一個個地詞,一個個的短語,如此表達將會使文章有排山倒海之勢!
Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you.
Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides.
We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (氣勢恢宏)
要想寫出如此氣勢恢宏的句子非用排比不可!
七、 挑戰極限原則
既然十挑戰極限,必然是比較難的,但是並非不可攀!
原理:在學生的文章中,很少發現諸如獨立主格的句子,其實也很簡單,只要花上5分鍾的時間看看就可以領會,它就是分詞的一種特殊形式,分詞要求主語一致,而獨立主格則不然。比如:
The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.
Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.
如果您可一些出這樣的句子,不得高分才怪!
寫作絕招
文章主體段落三大殺手鐧:
一、舉實例
思維短路,舉實例!提出一個觀點,舉實例!提出一個方案,舉實例!而且者也是我們揭示一個觀點最好的方式,任何情況下,只要我們無法繼續文章,不管三七二十一,盡管舉例子!
Inorder to attract more customers, advertisers have adopted everypossible stimulative factor in making ads, such as sound, light,colours, cartoon films and human performance. For instance, toadvertise a certain food, advertisers will ask an actor or actress tosit at a table and devour the seemingly delicious food while they fimehim or her.rast
更多句型:
To take … as an example, One example is…, Another example is…, for example
二、做比較
方法:寫完一個要點,比較與之相似的;又寫完一個要點,再比較與之相反的;
世界上沒有同樣的指紋,沒有相同的樹葉,文章亦同,只有通過比較,你才會發現二者的相同點
(through comparison)和不同點(through contrast)。下面是一些短語:
相似的比較:
in comparison, likewise, similarly, in the same manner
相反的比較:
on the other hand, conversely, whereas, while, instead, nevertheless, in contrast, on the contrary, compared with …, …
這個對 compare and contrast 題型很有用
三、換言之
沒話說了,可以換一句話再說,讓你的文章在多一些字,或者文鄒鄒地說,是讓讀者更充分的理解你的觀點。
實際就是重復重復再重復!下面的句子實際上就三個字 I love you!
I am enthusiastic about you. That is to say, I love you.
I am wild about you. In other words, I have fallen in love with you.
或者上面我們舉過的例子:
I cannot bear it.
可以用短語表達:I cannot put up with it.
因此可以這樣說:I cannot bear it. That is to say, I cannot put up with it or I am fed up with it.
更多短語:
in more difficult language, in simpler

不會的,一般情況下四級的作文大家都背一些模板,然後再套一些自己的句子,有亮點就會有加分的。
6. 英語四級作文求指導
這位同學,希望你不要介意,我也不跟你兜圈子,這樣的文章實在難拿高分。
一篇論文,主要評分點就在於論證,表達,語法等三個方面。
首先你的論證很不足。一篇100多字的文章,前面花了一半的篇幅提出問題,而後面論證的內容才一半不到,首先就扣分。
其次是表達,全篇幾乎沒什麼難的單詞和句式。
最要命的是語法。其實語法如果沒問題並不見得高分(因為論證和表達的好壞高下立見),但如果語法不過關的話,就像拍照里的噪點過多或者看著一個很臟的地面,會非常難受並且直接影響得分。
標題就有語法錯誤,go
to school是固定搭配,你後面也說go
to school,這里卻省了to,
可能是你不小心吧。如果有標題的話,直接抄就是了啊
第一句話里也有好幾處語法錯誤。可能你太想寫復雜句了,所以用力過了頭。
Obviously,
we can find the picture shows a boy (who has an iphone)
asks his mother that why is he going to school if his iphone
already knows everything.
1,
邏輯上的錯誤,Obviously好無由來,莫名其妙
定冠詞錯誤。你是想說,現在很容易見到這樣的畫面是嗎?可是就像你boy也用a
一樣,picture剛出來,也不可能特指啊。
從句引導詞錯誤,在ask
his mother中後面that,
why都是引導詞,引導賓語從句,顯然留下一個why就夠了,that
是多餘的。另外,shows則少了一個引導詞
(that), 不然find和shows謂語動詞打架了。
中國學生寫英語作文很容易出現謂語動詞打架的情況,最常見的便是there
be 句式。
如:there
are two girls standing by the washing machine,
但基於中文習慣,剛開始不少人會直接寫成there
are two girls stand by the washing machine.
賓語從句的語序錯誤。特殊疑問句做賓語從句時,要調整順序為陳述句。如;
what has he done? 整句作賓語時則要說成:he
teacher asks what he has done. 所以, why後面的語序要調整成:asks
his mother why he is going to school...
多個謂語動詞。拋開你從句里的動詞不看,你這里還有三個動詞在打架
(find, show,
ask)。(要牢記一個句子只能有一個謂語動詞,如果是一個主句帶幾個從句,那就是主句只能有一個謂語,然後幾個從句,幾個謂語動詞)
暫且不管表達的好壞,單就謂語動詞而言,第一句可以修改成:
Obviously,
we can find the picture that shows a boy who has an iphone asking his
mother why he is going to school if his iphone already knows
everything.

"Chinese" to cross the road, the biggest reason is that our way of distribution and the semaphore set "rude".
In Spain, the fork of the pedestrian way to over motor vehicles. According to the relevant traffic laws and regulations, in the intersection, as long as the pedestrians are given a clear gestures or a foot to pedestrian crossing through intent, one motor vehicle must be stopped to wait for pedestrians to pass. But if have the right will have responsibility, where pedestrians in the crosswalk to cross the road or ignored the traffic light, will be fined. Is the so-called "culture has no rival, system have advantages and disadvantages", a good system, does not have high quality guarantee, is the premise of high quality. "Chinese" crossing the road can not blindly blame "quality ?
China favours in the setting of traffic light motor vehicles, domestic to this phenomenon is more prominent.

9. 英語四級考試一般會出什麼題目的作文
下面主要從三個方面介紹一下四級寫作的命題特點,即題材,體裁和命題形式。
1. 題材
四級寫作的話題,具有很強的實用性和時事性,涉及校園生活、現代科技、社會問題以及對他們的簡單理由分析、方案提出。
校園話題:校園浪費、學生會主席競選、名校校園旅遊、選擇課程或教師等;
社會問題:當代婦女、淡水資源緊缺、環境、交通、住房、假冒偽劣商品等;
現代科技:電腦之類的現代科技發明等。
2. 體裁
從體裁上講,寫作部分考察的形式有議論文、說明文、記敘描述文和書信演講類情景應用文。
1)議論文主要分為提綱式議論文和標題式議論文兩類。
提綱式議論文根據題材可分為正反觀點對比類型和原因現象解釋類型。如2006年12月真題就屬於正反觀點對比類型:
1. 許多人喜歡在除夕夜觀看春節晚會;
2. 但有些人提出取消春節晚會;
3. 你的看法。
而2007年12月的真題卻屬於原因現象解釋型的議論文。
1. 各大學開設了各種各樣的選修課
2. 學生因為各種原因選擇了不同的選修課
3. 以你自己為例…
標題式議論文的主要特點是論證說理,通常以某一名言警句或諺語為題目,要求考生們對其客觀真理性加以闡述和論證。如1997年1月真題:
Practice makes perfect
2)說明文主要可以分為闡述主題型、利弊分析型、解決問題型:
闡述主題型的如1991年1月真題:
Bicycles----An Important Means of Transport in China.
1. 為什麼自行車在中國這樣普及。
2. 和汽車比較。
3. 自行車在中國的前途。
利弊分析型的如1998年1月真題:
Harmfulness of Fake Commodities.
1. 目前社會上有不少假冒偽劣商品(fake commodities)。為什麼會有這種現象?
2. 舉例說明假冒偽劣商品對消費者個人、社會等的危害。
解決問題型的如2001年1月真題:
How to Succeed in a Job Interview?
1. 面試在求職過程中的作用
2. 取得面試成功的因素:儀表、舉止談吐、能力、專業知識、自信、實事求是. . .
3)應用文寫作主要包括演講詞,導游解說詞、求職求學信、投訴信和公告通知等(2004年6月的導游詞,2005年1月的競選演說詞)。
3. 命題形式
四級作文的命題形式是六種:中英文提綱式、情景式、圖表式、段首句式、關鍵詞式及標題式。在所有這六種形式中,提綱式所佔比例最高,在80%以上;其次是情景式,2003年6月開始,情景作文大量出現,命題人設定一個情景,讓學生用所學的英語去處理一件假定的事情。(如2003年6月的車禍見證書,2003年9月的同學生病),圖表式作文只考過兩次(1991年6月 Changes in People's Diet 和 2002年6月Student Use of Computers)。
考生們應在平素的練習中針對每一種體裁和形式作相應的練習以便熟悉各種命題的寫作套路和方法。下面以2006年6月大學英語四級考試的作文為例,從審題、段落、句式和選詞四個方面探討英語四級作文的寫作方法。
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Students Selecting their Lecturers. You should write at Least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 有些大學允許學生自由選擇某些課程的任課教師;
2. 學生選擇教師時所考慮的主要因素;
3. 學生自選任課老師的益處和可能產生的問題。
[範文]
On Students Selecting their Lecturers
With the remarkable reform of higher ecation, students in some universities are entitled to choose their lecturers for certain designated courses for the flexibility and efficiency of their learning practice. This move has been welcomed by some students and has become the focus of students' and teachers' concern as well.
Obviously, there are some factors that students take into consideration when choosing lecturers. First and foremost, the teacher should have a diverse academic background and excel at what he or she teaches. It is because a learned teacher can give students much knowledge in a specific field, help them widen their horizon and at the same time cultivate their potential. Moreover, quite a few students think it is essential that the teacher is humorous and passionate in teaching. The reason is that students will learn quickly and thoroughly when the class is enjoyable and when they are motivated to learn. In addition, a teacher who gives students high marks in exams and papers is preferred.
Students' free choosing of lecturers may have many advantages, such as encouraging students to take an active part in classes and promoting lecturers to improve their teaching quality. Good as selecting lecturers is, it also gives rise to many problems. For one thing, the management of classes may be in a disorder. Some teachers can be so warmly welcomed that the number of the students in his class may be too large while other courses may have few participants. For another thing, schools might end up with lecturers who teach interesting classes and give high scores without much real content. Therefore further attention should be paid to this phenomenon.
解析:
1) 審題。
2006年6月作文的題材是考查校園話題--學生選擇任課教師及其利弊分析;就體裁來說是經常考到的提綱式論說文,它要求考生們根據給出的題目(on the topic of students selecting lecturers)和提綱(1. 有些大學允許學生自由選擇某些課程的任課教師;2. 學生選擇教師時所考慮的主要因素;3. 學生自選任課老師的益處和可能產生的問題),確定文章的中心思想,然後分段展開論述,表達提綱的主旨。
2) 段落安排。
提綱式論說文仍然符合四級寫作的布局要求三段式作文,提綱可以看作是分段點,即:第一段寫第一點,第二段寫第二點,第三段完成第三點。第一段是引言段,引出現在大學中存在的現象――有些大學允許學生自由選擇某些課程任課老師,描述現狀,引出主題。With the remarkable reform of higher ecation, students in some universities are entitled to choose their lecturers for certain designated courses for the flexibility and efficiency of their learning practice.
第二段是主體段,解釋學生選擇老師時所考慮的主要因素,即他們選擇什麼樣的老師和為什麼做出這樣的選擇。根據前面提到的段落寫作技巧,第一句話是這一段的主題句,可以對中文提綱進行翻譯,並且稍加改動,如Obviously, there are some factors that students take into consideration when choosing lecturers. 然後列舉出幾個較有代表性的理由,注意一定要在列舉的幾條理由前面加上表示層次關系的連接詞來使文章思路清晰,邏輯層次清楚。如:First and foremost, the teacher should have a diverse academic background and excel at what he or she teaches. It is because…, 接著闡述其它理由,如:Moreover, quite a few students think it is essential that the teacher is humorous and passionate in teaching.
第三段是結尾段,討論"學生選擇老師"這樣一個校園話題的好處以及可能產生的問題。先寫益處,如Students' free choosing of lecturers may have many advantages, such as…, 然後話題轉折提出弊端 Good as selecting lecturers is, it also gives rise to many problems. For one thing …最後一句是結論句Therefore further attention should be paid to this phenomenon
3) 句型變換。
全文長短句交錯,句型富於變化。採用以簡單句為基礎,同時配以復雜句,如定語從句a teacher who gives students high marks…,主語從句 It is essential that… 倒裝句Good as selecting lectures is… 分詞結構 when choosing lecturers…
4) 詞彙運用。
全文用詞准確、規范,豐富,如"選擇"可以用choose 和 select;使用一些精彩的固定搭配,使文章增色不少,如 end up with, give rise to; 巧用過渡詞,使文章銜接自然、緊湊,如first and foremost, moreover, in addition, as, therefore,for one thing等。
