Coping methods of CET-4 test questions
The first part of writing
Writing consists of two parts, one is to write a short essay of about 150 words in 35 minutes, and the other is to write a note of 50-60 words in 10 minutes. These two parts are propositional compositions, which are closely related to the daily life and study of college students. In addition, there are social hot issues, such as environmental protection, tourism, fitness and so on. The topic is easy to understand. ?
The writing style of the thesis is argumentative, generally adopting a three-stage structure. The first paragraph is an argument, the second paragraph is an argument and the third paragraph is a conclusion. The highest requirement is that the content of the article is relevant, the ideas are clearly expressed, the arguments are sufficient, the arguments are rigorous, and there are basically no language errors. If you want to write a good article, you should pay attention to the writing steps:
1. Exam: The first requirement of composition grading is content relevance, so the exam is particularly critical. The composition of CET-4 is a propositional composition, and there are many hints or outlines in Chinese, so you should first understand the basic requirements of the proposition and the real intention of the topic, then determine the logic between the key words and points in the outline, sort out your own ideas, organize your thoughts and make comprehensive arrangements. Especially for the problems to be discussed, the contents involved, the facts, examples, explanations and summaries needed, form a whole idea in your mind. ?
2. Organizing paragraphs: After the idea is conceived, according to the outline of the idea, select selected materials, use conjunctions appropriately, and arrange paragraphs reasonably to make the article coherent and clear. The organization of paragraphs is mainly through the support or explanation of extended sentences to the topic sentences. The topic sentence of each paragraph should be basically formed when examining the idea of the topic, and the topic sentence should be determined. Then, through a series of extended sentences, the idea of topic sentences is explained, demonstrated or expounded. The common methods of paragraph expansion include enumeration, example, comparison, causality, narration, classification and definition, which should be used flexibly in the examination of questions. ?
3. Revision: that is, deleting the content irrelevant to the theme and checking the tense and voice of the sentence. Pay special attention to the correct spelling of words; Letter case and punctuation; Consistency of numbers (including singular and plural consistency of subjects and predicates, nouns and their qualifiers); Reference relationship (including the consistency of reference and the choice of pronouns); Verb forms (tense, voice, mood) and so on. ?
On the time allocation of thesis writing during the examination. As we know, the time for writing an essay is 35 minutes. To do well, candidates are required to be orderly, busy and not chaotic, and give full play to their due level. It is suggested that the time be allocated according to the following scheme: 1 ~ 2-minute exam; Organization materials, details and keywords: 4-5 minutes; Drafting: 20 ~ 25 minutes; Revision and finalization: 4 ~ 5 minutes. ?
Finally, it needs to be explained that, in a sense, CET-4 composition has its fixed writing format and structure, while for fixed questions, there are fixed expressions. So everyone has reason to believe that it is not difficult to write well as long as the training method is proper? !
