如何顺利通过英语四六级英语作文(英语作文迅速提分秘籍)The current buzz in America is down to a pilot programme by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which hopes this will help it develop a regulatory framework 或者The debate over sth continue to rage on?经济学人一篇关于无人机越来越多地应用于医疗当中的文章:Drone deliveries are advancing in health care中就有这样一个新颖的表达:
12月可谓是考试月,四六级在前,考研在后头。许多小伙伴都担心会在英语作文掉链子。当然,想要真正提高作文水平还得靠平时不断地积累和训练,才能厚积薄发。但是对于想要临时抱抱佛脚的朋友们请不要错过这一篇福利。小编将分为开头,原因,转折,措施四个角度,从经济学人当中为大家总结出不落窠臼的应试写作模板,分成上下两篇,今天先介绍开头和原因两个部分:
拥有一个好的开头,作文就成功了一半。小编再在这里搜罗了几种不同方向的开头表达,助你赢在开头!
1.想表示某某主题目前热议不断/是热门话题,我们一般会怎么说?
Sth has been hotly debated/discussed these days;
或者The debate over sth continue to rage on?
经济学人一篇关于无人机越来越多地应用于医疗当中的文章:Drone deliveries are advancing in health care中就有这样一个新颖的表达:
The current buzz in America is down to a pilot programme by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which hopes this will help it develop a regulatory framework
目前在美国引起热议的是联邦航空管理局(FAA)的一个试点项目,该机构希望这将有助于其制定一个监管框架。
从中我们可以提取一个句型:The current buzz (in someplace) is down to xxx. buzz作名词表示唧唧喳喳的谈话声,也就是热议,比如我们常说的"流行词"就是buzzword. 词组be down to 表示归因于....,在于....,所以这句话就表示"目前引起热议的就是......"
比如垃圾分类就属于一个年度的热点话题,我们可以套用句型:The current buzz in China is down to trash sorting which was piloted in Shanghai this July.
再比如说这个网络霸凌问题越来越严重,引得人们讨论与反思,我们也可以套用着说:The current buzz is down to cyber-bullying as social networks give people unprecedented access to the personal lives of almost everyone.
2.如果写作的主题是老生常谈,但屡屡出现,从而引人关注或者担忧,我们可以怎么说呢?
经济学人6月一篇关于中国地方政府债务问题的文章(As growth slows the spectre of local-government debt looms once more),值得我们借鉴:
Concerns about local balance-sheets in China have recurred over the past decade. Recently they have come into sharp focus again.
在过去的十年中,对中国地方资产负债表的担忧屡屡出现。最近,它们再次成为人们关注的焦点。
我们从中提取句型:Concerns about xxx have recurred over +一段时间. Recently they have come into sharp focus again. 单词 recur 表示反复出现,重现。看一个例句加深印象:This theme recurs several times throughout the book. 这一主题在整部书里出现了好几次。所以这个句型就理解为:在过去多长时间里,某某问题总是反复引人关注/担忧,最近它再次成为焦点/关注重点。
比如这个交通拥堵问题,虽然是老生常谈,但仍然让人头疼,我们就可以说:Concerns about traffic congestion in China have recurred over the past decade. Recently it has come into sharp focus again.
又或者说这个雾霾天气,虽然蓝天保卫战一直在打,雾霾仍然是一个劲敌:Concerns about smog that envelopes many cities in China have recurred over the past decade. Recently it has come into sharp focus again.
感觉屡试不爽啊~敲黑板:写作主题是老问题重新拿出来提的时候,就可以用它!用它!用它!
3. 如果一个现象是一个新鲜事物,以前不常见,现在很常见/很流行,想突出这样一个今昔对比时,我们又可以怎么表示捏?
在经济学人More Chinese are home schooling their kids一文中,作者提到,如今许多的父母选择在家教育自己的孩子,这个现象以前可能不被理解,但现在却越来越普遍,原文是这么表述的:
In the West home schooling once regarded as eccentric has become more popular in recent decades.
在西方,一度被视为反常在家教育模式,近几十年来缺越来越普遍。
从中我们得出句型:xxx once regarded as eccentric has become more popular in recent decades/years. eccentric表示古怪的,不合乎常理的。咱们也可以根据具体的主题换成其他的形容词也可。popular如果你觉得太普通,也可以换成名词形势gain popularity 或者词组catch on;be in vogue等等,都可以表示某事现在风行一时。
比如对于整容现象,曾经许多人还持保留意见,但现在整容越来越普遍,人们对其接受度也大大提高。我们就可以说:
Face lifting once regarded as eccentric has been in vogue in recent years.
再比如抑郁症,近年来患抑郁症的人数日益攀升,提醒着我们要注意心理健康问题,所以如果考题是和心理健康有关,我们也能套用句型:
Depression once regarded as eccentric has been all too common in recent years
4. 布吉岛小伙伴们发现没有,10篇作文里,可能5篇会出现:"众所周知 ......."这样的高频表达,但是我们会怎么说呢?
As is known to all?As everybody knows? 想从数万张考卷中脱颖而出,我们需要一点不落俗套的说法.我们来瞧瞧经济学人Is America losing its appeal for brainy foreigners?一文中怎么描述"众所周知"的
It Is a truism of American politics that the interests of the less educated like high-school graduates need better protection.
美教育程度较低的人的利益,比如高中毕业生,需要更好的保护 这是美国政治中的一条常识。
truism 意为 "不言而喻的道理;自明之理;老生常谈" 因此句型 It is a truism that ....,就等于我们说的As everybody knows 可以理解为众所周知....
比如上半年六级英语写作中,有个关于"团队协作和沟通在工作中的重要性"的主题
我们就可以套用该句型说:It is a truism that team spirit and communication make for success.
另外一篇讲"人际交往中相互理解和尊重的重要性",我们也能在开头来一句:
It is a truism that everyone in the world cannot live without interacting with other people.
当说完了现象,我们一般会来谈谈原因---到底是什么造成了这样的现象?这里小编给大家推荐几个精简的句型,供大家在写作时参考参考:
What has happened? It is partly...
这段文字选自Why Germany's birth rate is rising and Italy's isn't一文,讲的是德国生育率再不断下降后缓缓增长的现状。这段文字便解释了生育率增长的第一个原因:
What has happened? It is partly a statistical quirk. The fertility rate is influenced by the timing of childbirth.发生了什么?这在一定程度上是统计数据的异常。生育率受生育时间的影响。
从中我们可以提取句型:What has happened? It is partly... 自问自答的设问形式会使文章更显生动。partly表示一定程度上;部分地,用以说明部分原因。我们也常说 It is partly because of/due to + 词组 或者It is partly because +句子。
生育率下降,造成人口老龄化更加突出,2019年,韩国生育率跌至0.88,刷新全球记录,而中国也保受低生育率困扰。建议备考的同学多多关注这一社会问题,这是一直以来的热门考题。
2. 列举二项原因:
A is the biggest factor followed by B.
比如在Miserable millennials:A bleak view of the future一文中,谈到了年轻人屡屡跳槽的原因,它是这么说的:
年轻人跳槽主要有两个原因:
Dissatisfaction with pay is the biggest factor followed by a lack of opportunities to advance.
最主要的原因是对薪酬的不满,其次是缺乏晋升机会。
这个句型还是很容易记住的吧~factor表示原因,同样表达原因的单词还有reason drive driver force contributor explanation等等,可以替换进来。followed by (紧随其后;其次是)衔接两个原因,巧妙地避开了First second,或者next这样烂大街的说法。
跳槽 (job hopping)一直是写作的一个热门话题,所以咱们可以把这句话记下来,如果碰到job hopping的主题作文,就可直接套用啦。
3.列举多项原因:
The blame for xxx is pinned on many things including A B C and D.
随着人们生活方式的改变,肥胖问题日益突出,过度肥胖同样会影响人的身体健康,所以肥胖问题不失为一个热点,经济学人Obesity:The dark side of light一文中总结肥胖原因时用到这个句型:
The blame for rising obesity rates has been pinned on many things including a more calorific diet the rise of processed food a lack of exercise and modern man's generally more stressful lot.导致肥胖率上升的原因有很多,包括A.高热量饮食、B.加工食品增多、C.缺乏锻炼 以及D.现代人压力增大。
blame我们知道,表示责任;责备,通常是指坏事或错事,所以我们可以得出这个句型一定是用于某个表述不好事物的原因,词组be pinned on相当于due to 表示"归因于或者归咎于",一般也有点贬义色彩。如果这里我们这里是要讲述好的事物的原因,就可以换换单词,把句子改成The reason for xxx is attributable to many things including A B C and D就可以~
这里我们借用"年轻人爱跳槽"的例子来套用以上的三个表达原因的句式试一试:
Job-hopping among young people is increasingly frequent as 30% of college graduates quit within half a year and over 60% leave their jobs within two years.
1.What has happened? It is partly due to dissatisfaction with pay;
2.Dissatisfaction with pay is the biggest factor followed by a lack of opportunities to advance.
3.The blame for frequent job hopping is pinned on many things including dissatisfaction with pay a lack of opportunities to advance unpleasant working environment and unreasonable working hours.
