改革后新专业四级英语写作开头技巧

内容摘要：写作新题型考的是summary+comment。这种题型看似新颖，其实更加简单,明显不同的是开头需要summarize。Comment部分不一定要写考生自己的观点，完全可以摘取阅读材料中现成的观点稍作展开。这样考生至少从头到尾不愁“无话可说”。“Readcarefullytheopinionsfrombothsidesandgiveyourviewontheissue.”新样题中的“阅读材料”由原来的一段话变成了对某个issue的正反双方鲜明对立的几段文字，并且题目明确要求考生先summarizebriefly。summary应该用原文四分之一的文字表达原文的主要观点。新专四的样题阅读材料原文一般200词左右，这样概述以后大概保留80字左右。对于一篇总共200字左右的考试作文，这样的开头会让整体结构不太匀称，因此也可以稍微再做压缩到50-60。Inrecentyears,traditionalprintednewspaperhasfacedaseriouschallenge.TheChristianScienceMonitorbecamethefirstnationalnewspapertoshutdownitsprintedition,andrecently,theworldfamousmagazineNewsweekannouncedthatitwouldsoonceasepublishingonpaperandshifttoanonline-onlyformat.Willtheprintednewspaperonedaybereplacedbyonlinenewspaper?Somebelievesowhilemanystillholdanoptimisticviewonthefutureoftraditionalnewspaper.Readcarefullytheopinionsfrombothsidesandwriteyourresponseinabout200words,inwhichyoushouldfirstsummarizebrieflytheopinionsfrombothsidesandgiveyourviewsontheissue.EXERCISE1Traditionalcharacters,whichdatebacktomorethan2000yearsago,haveamorebeautifulappearanceandamorereasonablestructure.Traditionalcharactersmakemoresenseconveytraditionalvaluesandcanthereforerepresenttraditionalculture.Fortwomillennia,Chinesehistoricalrecordsandclassicworkswerewrittenintraditionalcharacters.Tobeabletoreadthemandinherittraditionalculture,weneedtobringtraditionalcharactersback.Politically,itisalsonecessarytorestoretraditionalChinesecharacters.Currently,traditionalcharactersarestillinuseinHongKong,TaiwanandmanyChinesecommunitiesaroundtheworld.Restoringthemcancontributetocross-straitsexchangesandnationalreunificationanduniteChinesepeoplearoundtheworld.YESIntoday'sworldefficiencymattersmost.Traditionalcharacters,whichusuallyhavemorestrokesthansimplifiedones,aremoredifficulttolearn.Bycontrast,simplifiedcharactersaremucheasiertolearnanduse.Overthepast50years,lotsofclassictextshavebeenturnedintosimplifiedcharacterversions,whichmeanssimplifiedcharacterscanalsopromoteandpreservetraditionalculture.ConstantsimplificationhasbeenatrendintheevolutionofChinesecharacters.Fromtheoraclebonesscriptof3000yearsagototraditionalcharacters,theChinesewritingsystemhasalwaysbeenslimmingdownforbettercommunication.NOMarkswillbeawardedforcontentrelevance,contentsufficiency,organizationandlanguagequality.Failuretofollowtheaboveinstructionsmayresultinalossofmarks.找出对立双方的主要论点感觉有难度，简单的办法是用句子代替词组（注意尽量不要照抄原文）；实在感觉个别观点有难度还可以忽略WhenitcomestosimplifiedChinesecharacters(或WhenitcomestowhetherweshouldrevivetraditionalChinesecharacters),people’sviewsvaryfromonetoanother.Someclaimthatweshouldadoptthepolicyforaesthetical,culturalandpoliticalbenefits.Others,however,contendthatsimplifiedversionsarebetterchoicebecausetheyareeasiertolearn,slimmerforbettercommunicationandalsohelpfultopreservetraditionalculture.Frommyperspective,itiswisetochoosetraditional/simplifiedversionsforthefollowingreasons.YESThenewmedia,suchastheInternetandmobilephoneapplications,haveexertedagreatinfluenceonpeople’slife.Onlinenewspaperisfast,instant,andconvenient,whiletheprintednewspaperoftenrespondsslowlytothelatestnews.Peoplearenowusedtoreadingonlinenewspaperontheirsmartphones,andnoonehasthepatienceofwaitingfortheprintednewspaper.Onlinenewspaperisalsoenvironment-friendly,whichisinaccordwiththetrendofsavingenergyintoday’sworld.Theprintednewspaperconsumesalargenumberofnaturalresources,andwill,inthelongterm,begraduallyreplaced.Themultipleservices,suchaspostingcommentsandfindingrelatednewsthroughthelinksprovidedbyonlinenewspaperhavegreatlyenrichedpeople’sreadingexperiencesandknowledge.Traditionalnewspapercanhardlycompeteinthissense.EXERCISE2NOTherearestillalargenumberofpeopleintheworldwhohavenoaccesstotheInternet.Forthesepeople,printednewspaperisanimportantwaytoknowaboutthelatesteventsathomeandabroad.Althoughtheprintednewspapercannotbeasfast-respondingastheonlinenewspaper,itstillcanprovidemanyin-depthreportsandanalyticalarticlesforreaders.Manycolumnwritersareinvitedtowritespecialfeaturereportsfortheprintednewspaper.Onlinenewspaper,ontheotherhand,isonlysuitableforfastreading.Manyreadersprefertoreadtheprintednewspaperfortheydonotlikestaringatthecomputerorcellphonescreen.Printednewspaperisalsopreferredbytheelderlypeople.难以抗拒的网络报纸潮流审题思路:本题讨论的是在网络媒体的冲击下，传统报纸是否会被网络报纸所取代。在具体行文方面，应首先根据材料简要概括正反两方的观点：正方认为网络报纸优势明显，反方则认为纸质报纸仍然有存在的理由。然后提出自己的观点：纸质报纸最终会消失，并给出论据。最后总结全文，重申观点。Withtheadventofinformationtechnology,thetraditionalmediaarepushedtothecornerandarestrugglingtosurvive.Surprisingly,notallpeoplearehailingthebirthofonlineversionnews.SomepeoplebelievethattraditionalprintednewspaperisirreplaceablesincealargenumberofpeoplestillhavenoaccesstotheInternet.However,othersbelievethatthedemiseofprintedversionisathand.Beingfasterandmoreconvenient,cellphonesandpersonalcomputershaveledustoapaper-freelifestyle.TheIrresistibleTrendofOnlineNewspaperAsfarasIamconcerned,itisirresistiblethattheprintednewspaperwilldemisewhiletheonlinenewspaperwillprosper.Asthemodernlifepicksupspeed,newsisreportedateveryturn(到处).Newsisnolongernewwhenprintedonpaper.Whiletheprin
