一、单词要尽可能用正式的书面英语,一些口语中的用语需要避免,如要表达“我认为”,我们最好不要用“Ithink”,而应该选用丰富多样的表达方法,如Ibelieve/ argue/ insist/ maintain/ deem/ AsI see it,/ In myopinion,/ From my point of view,/ As to me,/ Asfor me,/ As regardsme,/ When it comes to me,/As far as Iamconcerned,…等。这样在考试中适当得用上,就可以给阅卷老师留下更好的第一印象。
Sentence 2: It goes without saying that love is of theutmostimportance to every one of us.
可以明显看出,第二句的意思更加丰满,并且可以表明考生对于英语的句型掌握较好。
三、段落展开时要非常严谨。因为英语是一门逻辑性非常强的语言,所以在写每一个段落时首先需要确定使用什么样的展开方法。如果是用列举法,那么在每一个论据前面一定要加上表示顺序的连接词,如Inthefirst place,…In the second place,…Last butnotleast,…等,这样可以给阅卷老师一个明确的心理预期,而且也可以向老师表明我们的思维很清晰,使用了衔接手段。
Directions: Study the following photos carefully and writeanessay in which you should
1. describe the photos briefly
2. interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and
3. give your point of view
As is vividly described in the two pictures, many young peoplearefans of stars and they try every means to show their adoration.Thefirst photo shows a face of a guy who has the name“Beckham”—afamousBritish footballer written on his face, while in the secondpictureanother guy spends 300 yuan—a big sum of money for manypeople doinga hairstyle of Beckham.
The photos clearly reveal a serious and pervasive socialproblemnowadays. First of all, there is no denying that manyyoungsterswant to be famous or rich overnight, therefore theirfocus is onlyon the success of the superstars, ignoring the factthat the famouspeople have to overcome many hardships anddifficulties before theyattain their success. A case in point isBeckham or Liu Xiang.What‘s more, following the footsteps ofsuperstars will waste theyoungsters’precious time. They are at aprime time to learn newknowledge and lay a solid foundation fortheir future career. Sheeradoration of stars will ruin their studyand their future. Last butnot least, some stars are not the idealidols for young people, forexample, the famous footballer Maradonaused to abuse drugs. This,of course, has a negative effect on thedevelopment of the youngpeople.
In my point of view, effective measures must be taken tocorrectthis situation. It is the responsibility of the authoritiestoeducate the young people to achieve success in a correctway.Meanwhile, the younger generation should redirect theiradorationfor stars to hard work, thus making greater contributionsto thesociety.
