楼主,我以前对写作也是深恶痛绝,主要原因还是基础太差,单词量少不说,语法还都不会用,平常又几乎没练过,所以作文是最难的。以前看剑桥的范文,看不出什么门道,心想凭什么能得9分呢。后来我好好学习了一下语法,然后再看范文,就有感觉了。练习了几篇,也只是五六篇吧,然后找了一位abc朋友帮我看了看,他是在英国学法律专业的,还获得过伦敦高校辩论赛的冠军,所以英语水平应该超过大多数老外,要说有4个9也应该不过分。他的评价是达到了7分水平。我考试的时候就按照这种方法写,果不其然就得到了7分。而且当时小作文最后一句都没写完。
所以我的体会是不要想太多,模板、连接词、大词难词、观点说服力,等等,我觉得都不重要。最关键的是把想表达的意思顺畅的表达出来。你自己感觉写的顺畅了,别人读的也顺畅。老想着要造出文章来,读起来肯定别扭。
我把我的一篇练习贴上来吧。我相信坛子里很多朋友的作文水平都比我强很多。楼主凑合看看。我作文里面没有难词大词,也没有复杂的语法,也没有长句。你应该也可以看出来我的词汇量很有限。
我朋友的评价是:“Comments: This is a very good essay. I think it will get a 7. There are a lot of grammatical variations. Suggestions: try and use more synonyms (words with similar meanings) to demonstrate your vocabulary.”
Topic: 1. Some people think that secondary school students should study international news as one of their subjects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
As media has highly developed nowadays, international news are being covered more quickly and can travel wider than ever before. Some people suggest that secondary school students should study these news as one subject. Personally, I cannot fully support this idea.
Studying international news, with no doubt, can bring a few benefits to students. The information in these news is mostly the hotspot of global economy, politics and military, thus can help these teenagers to learn more about the present world. This can be useful especially for students who are studying geography and history, as they may find interesting stories and locations in these news. Another possible benefit could be giving the students a sense of the society.
However, the potential harms of studying these news are much greater. First of all, students in secondary school are generally aged between 12 to 15, which means they are too young to understand the international events. Those news are mostly highly complicated, and can be confusing even for a large number of adults. Therefore, students may find these studies complex and boring, which would be a waste of time. In the second place, secondary school students are very busy studying different subjects, such as language, math, science, history, art, etc. It is a crucial period for them to acquire knowledge, and more importantly to gain physical and mental development. Studying international news would not only take up their valuable studying time, but could also be depressing for these teenagers, as there are a great deal of war, violence and disaster involved in these news. Even with guidance, students could still be misled by those negative factors.
To sum up, although studying international news can possibly be beneficial for secondary school students, I still believe that it is more likely to be harmful to them. Students at this age should spend their time more on understanding fundamental subjects, instead of paying too much attention on complicated international events.
