Good Health

(1) Importance of good health

(2) Ways to keep fit

(3) My own practice

這樣的作文的要求句就可以擴展成主題句。擴展後三段的主題句分別爲:

☆ It is very important to have good health. (將名詞importance變成形容詞important)

☆ There are four ways to keep fit for me.(用there be句型)

☆ My own practices are the following.(採用原詞)

三、條理

保證不跑題是寫作當中第一重要任務,第二個重要任務就是條理清楚。對於議論文來說,正反面要清楚。對於說明文來說,1、2、3條要清楚,對於描述文要來,誰幹什麼要清楚。就拿上例Good Health來說,第一段保持正反面要清楚就應這樣寫:主題句(It is very important to have good health.,正面(With good health, we can...),反面(Without good health, we can do nothing. We can't do...)

第二段應當這樣寫:主題句(There are four ways to keep fit.) 從幾方面說明: Firstly, we should have our breakfast in the morning. Second, we should have a nap at noon. Third, sports exercises are necessary in the afternoon. And fourth, we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to the music....)

爲了使文章更具關於條理性,我們可以用first(ly),second(ly),third(ly)等副詞,他們可以使文章的條理性十分突出。作文是主觀性題,要想得高分我們必須把評卷老師考慮進去。評卷老師的時間很短(每份卷子的.作文只有一兩分鐘就要閱完),所以我們在列條條時最好不用:To begin with, ... After that,... And then,... The next,... The following,... At last ...。因爲用這樣的詞語不利於閱卷老師看出你作文的條理性。

第三段應當這樣寫:主題句(My own practices are the following.)具體情況(主語爲第一人稱代詞I,與第二段呼應) In the morning, I have my breakfast . At noon, I have a nap. And in the afternoon, I always play football. In the evening, I usually listen to the classic music.

綜上所述,如果我們按以上幾節的方法去做,就可以保證及格以上分數。

四、 十二句作文法

在作文的評分標準中字數也是一個要求。四、六級的作文要求是要寫出120-150字。對於這樣的要求考生不必怕寫不夠。我們知道,四、六級作文大都是三段式。我們算一下,如果我們在每一段中寫上四句話,即主題句加兩三句擴展句和一個結論句就可以了。這樣全篇在十二句左右。每一句十多個詞,這樣就是120-150字。同時,我們也提醒大家,不能寫得太多,寫得多容易跑題。在寫作時,我們要橫向寫作,即寫某一問題的橫段面。例如,上面講到健康的重要性時,我們只寫四句就可以了。第一句主題句,第二句從正面論述,第三句從反面論述,第四句爲結論句。但有的同學在寫的時候說“健康非常重要,”然後就寫“吃波萊非常重要”,因爲波菜含有豐富的鐵,鐵對人是非常重要的,因爲...。這樣的作文的基本模式是A-B B-C C-D D-E以此類推。這就叫流水賬,沒有中心。我們寫作時要根據橫段面去寫,而不要寫成流水賬。避免寫成流水賬的方法是不要就前一句中的一個非重點詞再進行描述。而要對主題句從橫段面去寫,寫完一個橫段面就不要再對這一橫段面進行闡述了,應當去寫別一個橫段面。

如果我們感覺字數不夠,就在每一句或某些句子上添加些詞詞就行了。例如我們感覺上邊第二段不夠長,就可以這樣來加詞:

主題句There are four ways to keep fit.- There are four or more ways to keep fit for everyone of us. 從幾方面說明: Firstly, we should have our breakfast in the morning.- Firstly, we should have our breakfast, such as milk, eggs, bread and so on, in the morning. Second, we should have a nap at noon.- Secondly, we should have a short nap, even 30 minutes, at noon. Third, sports exercises are necessary in the afternoon. - Thirdly, sports exercises are necessary for everyone and we can do some sports exercises in the afternoon. And fourth, we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to music. - And fourthly, we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to both popular and classic music.

這樣一來,我們只要保持本句的主題不變加添一些次要詞就能達到字數的規定標準。
