I. Review issues

1. Comment genre (argumentative, explanatory and descriptive)

Examining the topic is to examine the theme and genre of the composition. Because what kind of genre will write what kind of theme. So what are the genres? It includes argumentative articles, explanatory articles and descriptive articles. In recent years, CET-4 composition is not a single genre, but a mixture of several genres. For example:

Note: For this part, you have 30 minutes to write a composition.

Strive to be an excellent college student.

You should write at least 100 words, and you should write your composition according to the following outline (given in Chinese):

The Necessity of Being a Qualified College Student

Necessary conditions for becoming a qualified college student (from moral, intellectual and physical aspects)

Many people say that this type of composition is argumentative. This is one-sided, because,

The first paragraph requires writing "? Necessity "is an argumentative paper;

The second paragraph requires writing "? Necessary conditions ",require to write instructions;

The third paragraph requires writing "? To do this, you need to write a description. Therefore, in most cases, CET-4 composition is a mixture of three genres.

2. Determine the corresponding writing methods

The purpose of our examination is to determine different writing methods according to different genres. Through the examination of the questions, we can see that most of the CET-4 compositions are in three stages. Like the above example, the first paragraph is argumentative, the second paragraph is descriptive and the third paragraph is descriptive. Moreover, various styles have different writing methods: argumentative writing: there must be arguments and arguments, which are often discussed from both positive and negative aspects. For example, the idea in the first paragraph above is: what will happen if you are a qualified college student (this is discussed earlier); What will happen if you can't be a qualified college student (from the opposite side); So we should be qualified college students (conclusion). Explanation: A problem can be explained from several aspects, and the necessity of qualified college students can be explained from three aspects: morality, intelligence and physique. Description: Describe a "doing" process centered on "people". Compared with the last two paragraphs, the subject of this paragraph is mostly personal pronoun, so he should describe the second paragraph.

Second, determine the topic sentence

After reviewing the questions, the next step is how to write them. The first step is to determine the topic sentence, which can not only ensure that you don't stray from the topic, but also help you clear up your writing ideas. The safest way to write a topic sentence is to directly translate the Chinese outline. For example, the topic sentence in the previous paragraph is:

It is very necessary to be a good college student. To be a good college student, there are many serious viewpoints.

What I will do in the future is as follows.

Three. Organizational paragraph

After determining the topic sentence, the next work is discussion. It is also this step that makes many candidates really puzzled. The most basic solution is to enlarge vocabulary and enrich grammar storage. When writing, grammar and vocabulary are the most basic. However, the ability to organize paragraphs is also particularly important (we will explain the following parts of coherence and cohesion in more detail). When writing, you should not only provide some information, but also learn to use some examples, personal experiences, comparisons and descriptions. So you won't feel speechless.

Four. Coherence and cohesion
