大學(xué)英語六級強(qiáng)化班寫作筆記
前 言:
教習(xí)過好幾門課程,深感寫作這一課是最難教的,危乎高哉!寫作之難難于上青天。一夫當(dāng)關(guān),萬夫莫開。學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語寫作多時,大多不能迥脫蹊徑之外,工而入逸者更是寥寥。于是我悲觀起來,認(rèn)定文不可以教而能。雖說文字和技法可以也應(yīng)當(dāng)教一些,俾學(xué)生邯鄲學(xué)步,漸次入門,但就本質(zhì)特征而論,寫作遠(yuǎn)不只是一個章法和技巧的問題,而是氣之所行,是皮相之下許多深層主觀因素的綜合,是一個厚積薄發(fā)的養(yǎng)成過程。這些主觀因素,在我看來,體現(xiàn)在國內(nèi)的英語寫作考試當(dāng)中只局限于素心爛讀的積累。Reading makes a full man.這是英國學(xué)者的傳世之言,我們的祖先說讀書破萬卷,下筆如有神。我們贊嘆一篇文章,往往是因?yàn)槲覀儽晃恼轮械恼Z言所吸引、所征服:語匯豐富、句式整齊、語言或精練或華麗,句式安排熟練自如,自然流暢;而這只能來自于 reading。但是我們已沒有那么多的時間去讀了,于是乎,語言的總結(jié)就變得極其必要!
要?dú)w納記敘文中漂亮、地道的語言是困難的,但是要?dú)w納論說文這個各種英語考試的作文類型中的語言不是不可能的。論說文是由開頭、結(jié)尾、啟轉(zhuǎn)、分析、舉例、比較等部分所組成的,其中都有些固定而漂亮的句型來表達(dá)。由于這些句型都是地道的英語,是經(jīng)過千錘百煉,且能表達(dá)論說文寫作中的不同意思,若能把以論說文為主的當(dāng)代英語essays中的這些句型摘錄歸納成類,供讀者參考,無疑是能有助于提高英語寫作的語言水平。
模仿和學(xué)用漂亮和地道的英語表達(dá)法或句型并不是可恥的事。地道的英語不應(yīng)是你用學(xué)過的詞匯和語法規(guī)則按某個意思苦苦思索造出來的,地道的英語應(yīng)是你把英美人對這個意思的習(xí)慣說法用到你自己的文章上來的。該講義收集了論說文常用的一些句型,與六級考試的一些文章結(jié)構(gòu)模式;希望同學(xué)們能以此為依據(jù),Practice makes perfect,達(dá)到熟能生巧的境界,從而在六級考試作文部分獲得理想的分?jǐn)?shù)!

Reading Selectively Or Extensively?
Outline: 1.有人認(rèn)為讀書要有選擇
2.有人認(rèn)為應(yīng)當(dāng)博覽群書
3.我的想法
?、?1分
When it comes to reading, some people think that reading selectively is a good way, but some other people do not agree with them, they think that reading extensively is better.
Those people, who think that reading selectively is better, believe that good books are as many as bad books. Those good books can give us pleasure and knowledge, while those bad books can only lead us to the wrong way. So, they suggest that we should only choose the good books to read and never touch the bad books.
But, the other people, who hold that reading extensively is better, think that one kind of books can only give us one aspect of knowledge. Even the best book only contains one field of information. So, they can easily come to the conclusion that to know more, to read more. So they believe that reading extensively is better.
To my point, we should choose good books to read and read good books as many as possible. By this way, we can increase the quality and quantity of reading.

I think reading not only selectively but also extensively. Because the two sides are not contradict. Our time is limited. So we can not read every book in the world. However, we will not be interested in every book. We should read those books may be useful to ours, read those books which we like. But those books which we choose must be extensively so it can give ours all kinds of knowledge, news and so on, it also make ours become a wise man. On the one hand reading selectively let ours not waste our time which it is limited. Moreover it can emphasis among all books that we can read. On the other hand reading extensively can deal with all kinds of need in our life. They are all useful to ours.

Most people thought that read books should have been selective. But others believed reading extensively was correction.
Selective books or reading extensively?
Sure, you can choice one from previous ideas,
on one hand, There are too book to read for us. We should choose those which we interested, and it would be helpful for us.
On another hand. Someones interesting was wide. Each book could bring you specific contain we couldnt reading at only one level.
I confirmed all of these ideas were good but werent wise.
As a reader, the main task is to discover more and more books the second task is to held some which wonderful and helpful for us. Dont treat these books with reckless abandon.
The best technology of reading is connect.

How should we read? Should we read selectively or extensively? Everyone has his own view.
Some people think we should read selectively. They argue that with the development of modern science and technology, more and more books are published. It is impossible for us to read all the books. Whats more, there are many bad books that are poisonous to our mind, and we shouldnt read them. Since we cant read all the books and we shouldnt read bad books, we must read selectively.
But others may not agree, they emphasize that todays society is not what it was. If one man has many kinds of knowledge, he will have more chances to succeed. If a man knows much in one field but knows nothing in other fields, he may be useless. Since we must have many kinds of knowledge, we must read extensively.
Whos right? I think both of them have something right. But I think we should read extensively first. We should read books in many fields, and read selectively in one field.
?、?分
Some people think reading shall be chosen. Because some books are good to human beings and some books are harmful to people.
Some people think that men should read books widely. Because wide reading can help man get much knowledge. And man can use it to change the world.
It is my point that reading must be selectively. Because reading is important to man. Some books can help man but some books can lead some people to crime. It can be seen in the newspapers and watched on TV. We can make full use of some good books and gain more useful knowledge. It can make our life more beautiful. We must give up those unhelpful books. They are not good to us. Reading them is wasting time and money. So reading selectively is an important part in reading.
