  • 阐释类议论文

    2008-4-08

    作文一般都充斥着暴力和血腥，无论什么体裁记叙文也好，议论文也罢，都是险象环生，矛盾重重，这样设计的目的就是情节可以写得跌宕起伏，引人入胜。针对这一特点，我为大家量身定做了一系列所谓“万能开头”：

    Recently, the phenomenon of …has caused public attention最近…现象引起了人们的关注

                                                                                                                            

    …has become a hot topic among people recently …已经成为人们谈论的话题

     

    Nowadays…has become a problem we have to face. 如今…已经成为我们必须面对的问题

     

    Nowadays, more and more people are concerned about the problem…现在越来越多的人开始关注…的问题

     

    Recently, the issue/problem of…has been brought into focus最近…的问题已经成为人们关注的焦点。

     

    Man is now facing a big problem, ______, which is becoming more and more serious/has caused public concern.

     

    举例和分析原因的句型有：

    1. There are several reasons/examples for this problem. Firstly…Secondly…Finally…

    2. The reasons/examples can be listed as follows. For one thing… For another…

    解决问题的句型有：

    People have figured out many ways to solve this problem. Firstly…Secondly…Finally…

     

    既然我们的这一类作文叫做这个办法类作文，那么我们一定会碰到要提出解决方案的问题，那么给大家补充一些关于提出解决方案的句式结构：

     

    The key factor to solve this problem is …解决这个问题的关键在于…

     

    There is no immediate solution to the issue of…but…might be helpful并没有现成的方法去解决这个问题，但是 …有可能是有帮助的

     

    Faced with the problem of…we should take a series of effective measures to cope with the situation.  面对这个问题，我们应该采取一系列有效的措施来应对目前的形势

    主题：2007高考英语作文模板：解决方法题型

    要求考生列举出解决问题的多种途径

    １． 问题现状

    ２． 怎样解决(解决方案的优缺点)

    　　　 In recent days, we have to face I problem-----A, which is becoming m0re and m0re serious. First, ------------(说明Ａ的现状)．Second, ---------------(举例进一步说明现状)

    　　　　 Confronted with A, we should take a series of effective measures to cope with the situation. F0r one thing, ---------------(解决方法一). F0r another -------------(解决方法二). Finally, --------------(解决方法三).

    Personally, I believe that -------------(我的解决方法). Consequently, I’m confident that a bright future is awaiting us because --------------(带来的好处).

  • 图表类作文

    2008-4-08

    一，开头，也就是第一部分可以这么写。

    我们说图表告诉我们XXX, 用哪个词？很多同学说

    tell, show, illustrate(展示), reveal, reflect

    1. As is shown by the graph/in the table...

    2. From the table, we can see clearly that...

    3. It can be concluded from the table that …

    接下来就是对于趋势的描写：

    数据变化的趋势莫过于上升和下降了

    表示上升的词语: rise,     go up,     increase, boom,  rocket，shoot up

    表示下降的词语: fall, drop, come down, decrease(vi), reduce(vt), on the decline, 

    注意由于reduce是一个及物动词，所以要用be reduced这个词组

    下面给大家补充的是修饰这些上升下降的词语

    快:                                                                                                            Quickly,                                                                                                    

    Rapidly,                                                                                                      

    dramatically戏剧性的，                                                                                                  sharply急剧地，锐（增减），

    慢:

    slowly（缓慢地），gradually（逐渐地）

                                                                 

    第一段就搞定了

    As is shown by the graph, the vocabulary that one could remember dropped sharply from 100% to 33.7% at the first day. Then, they come a steady decline/ gradual fall /slow drop in the next 5 days.

     

    二，开始写第二段话,分析原因（凡是原因有一句万能的话）

    There are several reasons for such phenomenon.                                                          Physiological phenomenon

    或 The reasons to explain this phenomenon can be listed as follows.

    Three reasons contribute to such changes. 

    如果刚才那句话是白开水的话，这句话就是浓咖啡。

    有同学说老师我不会写contribute to，那么lead to你总会写吧？result in, cause, be responsible for，create, give rise to, bring about都可以表示这个意思。

    First…second…last (finally) (in addition)

    各位在举祥林嫂的例子时不要说" sister Xianglin" ,因为语言是一个民族历史和文化传承的载体，不同的历史文化会产生不同的语言。比如说“阿庆嫂”“来福哥”你给外国人翻成“Sister Ahqing” “Brother Laifu”在西方的宗教文化背景中，听上去像神职人员或教徒之间的称谓。

    阿Q精神， 背单词时要有祥林嫂的精神

    最后一句写一个总结，形成总——分——总的结构。

    Hence/Therefore, all these reasons result in such phenomenon.

    千万千万不要使用重复的词语，如果避免不了重复，那你还不如不写这句话。

     

    三，我们再看第三段: 提出解决方法,发表个人建议

    My suggestions to solve the problem are as follows.

    For one thing,... For another,... In addition/Moreover/Furthermore/What is more,...

    On one hand…on the other hand…moreover

    最后我们可以通过对图表的描述，说明和议论，最后可以发出呼声和呐喊。可以引用名人名言（当然可以自编），例如：

    One great person once remarked…有一位伟人曾经说过 …

    One of our ancient philosophers said…有位古代的哲人曾经说过…

    One of the greatest English teacher in my life once said," Repeat is the best teacher"
