1、四級(jí)英語考試作文一般從些方面命題 下面主要從三個(gè)方面介紹一下四級(jí)寫作的命題特點(diǎn)，即題材，體裁和命題形式。 1. 題材 四級(jí)寫作的話題，具有很強(qiáng)的實(shí)用性和時(shí)事性，涉及校園生活、現(xiàn)代科技、社會(huì)問題以及對他們的簡單理由分析、方案提出。 校園話題：校園浪費(fèi)、學(xué)生會(huì)主席競選、名校校園旅游、選擇課程或教師等; 社會(huì)問題：當(dāng)代婦女、淡水資源緊缺、環(huán)境、交通、住房、假冒偽劣商品等; 現(xiàn)代科技：電腦之類的現(xiàn)代科技發(fā)明等。 2. 體裁 從體裁上講，寫作部分考察的形式有議論文、說明文、記敘描述文和書信演講類情景應(yīng)用文。 1)議論文主要分為提綱式議論文和標(biāo)題式議論文兩類。 提綱式議論文根據(jù)題材可分為正反觀點(diǎn)對比類型和

2、原因現(xiàn)象解釋類型。 如xx年12月真題就屬于正反觀點(diǎn)對比類型： 1. 許多人喜歡在除夕夜觀看春節(jié)晚會(huì); 2. 但有些人提出取消春節(jié)晚會(huì); 3. 你的看法。 而xx年12月的真題卻屬于原因現(xiàn)象解釋型的議論文。 1. 各大學(xué)開設(shè)了各種各樣的選修課 2. 學(xué)生因?yàn)楦鞣N原因選擇了不同的選修課 3. 以你自己為例 標(biāo)題式議論文的主要特點(diǎn)是論證說理，通常以某一名言警句或諺語為題目，要求考生們對其客觀真理性加以闡述和論證。 如1997年1月真題： Practice makes perfect 2)說明文主要可以分為闡述主題型、利弊分析型、解決問題型: 闡述主題型的如1991年1月真題： Bicycles-A

3、n Important Means of Transport in China. 1. 為什么自行車在中國這樣普及。 2. 和汽車比較。 3. 自行車在中國的前途。 利弊分析型的如1998年1月真題： Harmfulness of Fake Commodities. 1. 目前社會(huì)上有不少假冒偽劣商品(fake modities)。 為什么會(huì)有這種現(xiàn)象? 2. 舉例說明假冒偽劣商品對消費(fèi)者個(gè)人、社會(huì)等的危害。 解決問題型的如xx年1月真題： How to Sueed in a Job Interview? 1. 面試在求職過程中的作用 2. 取得面試成功的因素：儀表、舉止談吐、能力、專業(yè)知識(shí)、

4、自信、實(shí)事求是. . . 3)應(yīng)用文寫作主要包括演講詞，導(dǎo)游解說詞、求職求學(xué)信、投訴信和公告通知等(xx年6月的導(dǎo)游詞，xx年1月的競選演說詞)。 3. 命題形式 四級(jí)作文的命題形式是六種：中英文提綱式、情景式、圖表式、段首句式、關(guān)鍵詞式及標(biāo)題式。 在所有這六種形式中，提綱式所占比例最高，在80%以上;其次是情景式，xx年6月開始，情景作文大量出現(xiàn)，命題人設(shè)定一個(gè)情景，讓學(xué)生用所學(xué)的英語去處理一件假定的事情。 (如xx年6月的車禍見證書，xx年9月的同學(xué)生病)，圖表式作文只考過兩次(1991年6月 Changes in Peoples Diet 和 xx年6月Student Use of Co

5、mputers)。 考生們應(yīng)在平素的練習(xí)中針對每一種體裁和形式作相應(yīng)的練習(xí)以便熟悉各種命題的寫作套路和方法。 下面以xx年6月大學(xué)英語四級(jí)考試的作文為例，從審題、段落、句式和選詞四個(gè)方面探討英語四級(jí)作文的寫作方法。 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a position on the topic Students Selecting their Lecturers.
