(To continue)高级表达可以在作文范文中收集,例如伍教练在准备GRE分析性写作时,就透析过几十篇5~6分的范文(6分为满分),从中提取了下列模板:
I concede that……(让步开头必备)
Moreover,……(表示递进)
In sum,……(开始最后总结)
是不是很简单?轮到我自己写的时候套几个上去,竟然也混了一个5分回来,虽然不是顶尖级别的分数,但好歹比同次考试全世界73%的考生都要好,申请任何一家大学都是没有什么问题的。取法其上,得乎其中,若我能大量参详7分水平的作文,难保不炮制一篇6分的出来。
有志于提高写作能力的同学,应该在平时大量透析原著时有意识地收集模版句并练习使用。满分范文是高材生或者考试专家所写,而原著则可能是大文豪大才子所写,后者的模板质量高耸入云啊!例如伍教练在读塞林格的《The Catcher in the Rye》(麦田里的守望者)收集到下列模板,在平时作文练习的时候有意识地用模板造句,渐渐就能学会。以下结合2010年广东高考英语大作文进行练笔(可以对比一下,是伍教练冒用大作家的模板好,还是所谓范文写得好):
a king's ransom(一大笔钱)
Even if Ethan’s mother paid him a king’s ransom, he would not keep the ‘good habit’ for long.
by any chance(万一)
By any chance Ethan developed other bad habits with the money…
doll up(打扮)
Instead of watching TV, these kids may start dolling themselves up.
for instance(例如,用这个替换老掉牙的for example,改卷老师会大受激励)
For instance, they might spend a lot in dressing.
get sore about sth(恼火。这个小心了,作者Salinger毕竟比较颓废,哈)
If parents don’t pay for their good habits anymore, they will get sore about their parents.
horse around(胡闹)
They are always horsing around, and the experts can do nothing about it.
in the first place(首先。文绉绉的,很好用。)
In the first place, parents should tell what’s good for their personality.
once in a while(偶尔。替代often/seldom,强力激励老师)
Money can be awarded once in a while.
附录2010广东高考作文题第二题
第二节读写任务(共1小题,满分25分)
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
In junior high school, one of my classmates, Ethan, was addicted to TV. This boy simply knew everything about such pop shows as Who’s the Boss?
Then one day Ethan’s mother made him an offer in order to draw him back to his school subjects. She promised that she would give him $200 if he could go a full month without watching any TV. None of us thought Ethan could do it, but he did quite well. His mom paid him $200. He went out and bought a TV, the biggest he could find.
In recent years, hundreds of schools have carried out experiments with paying kids with each for showing up or getting good grades. All school kids admire this trend. But it upsets adults. Teachers say that we are rewarding kids for doing what they should be doing of their own will. Psychologists warn that money can actually make kids perform worse by making the act of learning cheap. The debate has become a typical battle over why our kids are not learning at the rate they should he despite decades of reforms and budget increases.
