Basic skills of college entrance examination English writing

How to prepare for the college entrance examination without mastering English writing skills? The following is the basic skills of college entrance examination English writing that I compiled for you for your reference!

Basic skills of English writing in NMET 1. Characteristics of basic writing questions

The purpose of setting basic writing questions in college entrance examination is to test candidates' basic written language expression ability, such as the rationality of words, the complexity of sentence structure, the correctness of grammar application, the integrity of information content, and the coherence between sentences.

1. The writing theme is close to the study and life of candidates.

Over the years, the topics of college entrance examination composition questions are very close to the study and life of candidates, such as campus activities, off-campus experiences, making friends, traveling, and discussing topics related to candidates.

Let's review the topic of basic writing in recent five years.

2. Writing styles are mainly narrative and practical.

The genre of basic writing questions mainly includes story description and practical writing. The form of proposition can be practical writing such as reading pictures, writing stories, reading pictures, reading instructions, etc., and completing a short message or a notice according to the table information.

3. The way of content presentation is semi-closed.

The topic of basic writing is semi-closed, which is characterized by specifying the content of writing. Candidates must fully and comprehensively express the information points specified in the article. However, candidates have some room for independent thinking about the way of language expression, the order of information organization and what necessary information needs to be supplemented.

4. Express in 5 sentences.

Basic writing can only express all the information points given by the topic in five sentences, and it is difficult to complete the task in five simple sentences. It is necessary to use complex sentences or complex sentences to synthesize multiple information points, and also to take care of the cohesion and semantic coherence between sentences.

Second, writing skills and order

From the characteristics of basic writing questions, we can see that it puts forward some new requirements for candidates.

1. Browse the whole article and grasp it as a whole.

Browse the article information, process it, and divide it into five sentences, so that which sentence contains which information. It mainly examines the information organization ability of candidates.

The ability of information organization includes three links: information classification, information arrangement and information expression.

First of all, the information points provided by the topic need to be classified according to certain standards, and what information should be put in the same sentence should be initially planned;

Secondly, information should be arranged reasonably according to certain standards, such as chronological order, spatial order, causality, progressive relationship, etc.

The third is to choose the order of information expression and determine the order of sentences, considering both grammatical cohesion and semantic coherence. In the process of organizing information, it is necessary to add or delete some information to make the article coherent in meaning, fluent in language and strict in logic.

2. Concentrate your forces and split in two.

On the basis of the first part, write five sentences clearly one by one, containing the required information. Pay attention to the following points when organizing sentences:

A) A sentence should first make clear the subject, predicate and object, and then try to expand the sentence and supplement other information. Ability to use complex sentences.

B) A sentence has one and only one predicate (and predicate).

Correct mistakes:

I am writing to complain about the shoes I bought recently.

This paper mainly examines the ability of candidates to use complex sentence patterns.

The first category is complex sentences, including famous part-of-speech clauses, attributive clauses and adverbial clauses.

Example:

More than 50% of students in China are nearsighted, which ranks first in the world.

The second category is complex sentences:

Complex sentences with progressive relations, such as by and, then, ideas, additional, moreover, in addition, what? Complex sentences connected by s more, etc.

Complex sentences have a turning relationship, such as complex sentences connected by but, but, on the contrary, after all;

A complex sentence with a coordinate selection relationship, such as by both? And then what? , and, and, are not? Not really? Or, neither? Or? Not only? And still? Complex sentences, etc.

Example:

More than 50% of students in China are nearsighted, which ranks first in the world.

The third category is some special sentence patterns, such as using non-predicate verbs, emphatic sentences, inverted sentences, compound structure sentences, there opening sentences, formal subject it opening sentences and so on.

Example:

More than 50% of students in China are nearsighted, ranking first in the world.

C) find a way to add points to the composition.

1. Use conjunctions to make the article more organized.

Sequential/gradual: first/second/third, best, besides, what else? More, what? Worse. What? S more important, besides, last but not least.

Turning point: however, however, there has never been (however), however, on the contrary, on the other hand, in contrast, although, and.

Reason: because, because, since, as, for, now that, thanks, because.

Result: So, there is a result, so, so, so? That, like this? that

Summary: summary, summary, summary, summary, finally, in a word, in general, in short, first of all, after all, in general,

2. Use more advanced words, sentences and phrases for conversion, and don't reuse a sentence and phrase. At the same time, we should pay attention to avoid common mistakes:

1) Don't always use commas to reduce the number of sentences. We must reduce the number of sentences through clauses, conjunctions and non-predicates. For example, it rained heavily, so they couldn't work in the fields.

It's raining hard, so they can't work in the fields.

They can't work in the fields because it's raining hard.

2) Tense error: Be sure to judge the tense to be used according to the context of the article.

A Guide to English Writing for College Entrance Examination 1. Study on the nature of college entrance examination writing: flexible use of sentence patterns and vocabulary.

English writing is different from Chinese composition. If Chinese writing is a free dance, NMET's English writing is a dance with shackles. The reason for this description is that the content of NMET English writing has been given to you in three forms: words, tables and pictures. In terms of content, students don't need to play. What everyone needs to play is not to wear the same uniform (simple sentences) for this unchanging content, but to wear some different clothes to make it look less monotonous and let the marking teacher see the difference, and those so-called clothes are also changeable sentence patterns and vocabulary.

2. How can the grading standard of writing cater to the appetite of marking teachers?

I understand that most students' compositions are around 15, with a perfect score of 25, and 15 is a passing grade. Many students come to New Oriental just to improve their scores. So what's the difference between 15 and more than 20 points? This question is easy to answer. 15' s composition is quite satisfactory, yes, including the completeness of content points, the correctness of grammar and word form, but it is a bunch of very simple sentences without any bright spots. The composition sentence patterns and vocabulary of more than 20 points are well packaged. The clothes it wears are not school uniforms, but Li Ning, Nike or Adi, which makes people feel very? Drag? And this is exactly what college entrance examination English writing needs? Drag? This feeling.

3. Ternary sentence patterns, conjunctions and advanced writing score vocabulary.

Sentence is the largest unit of our composition. With beautiful sentences, we can break them down into paragraphs with good conjunctions, and add some bright words like stars to make a good college entrance examination English composition. Among these three factors, sentences are the easiest to master and advanced vocabulary is the most difficult. Because everyone's vocabulary is still limited, one or two articles are enough. We should focus on sentence patterns, because they are the easiest to master.

However, everyone is so confused. The teachers at school also gave us many sentence patterns, ranging from 50 to 100. Everyone recited a lot, but when faced with the exam, we found that those recited were useless. Actually, it's not that those things are useless, but that they are too dry, like a dry bone. Everyone chews tasteless and doesn't know where to put it.

Here, I will provide you with a practical and quick way to improve. In the next time, as long as you follow this method, you will certainly gain something. Looking for real questions over the years, you only need to write two articles a week, but you should write like this:

1. Express the main points you want to write in nine to ten Chinese sentences.

2. Translate one by one, not with simple sentences, but after careful consideration.

(1) What kind of compound sentences can be used?

(2) How to avoid inexpressible expressions and escape. For example:

This book is so interesting that I read it again and again.

This book is so interesting that I have read it again and again.

This is such an interesting book that I have read it again and again.

This is such an interesting book that I have read it again and again.

This book is so interesting that I read it again and again.

Of the four translations, there is no doubt that the marking teacher appreciates the fourth sentence best because it is inverted.

Another example is:

If you collect tickets, you need to build gates and walls, which will affect the image of the city. Are you sure in this sentence Accept? Many students can't express that action, so can you think of an escape method to avoid it? Accept? This action can also express the meaning of the original sentence.

There is an entrance fee and a wall and gate have to be built, which is not helpful to the image of the city.

In this translation, we use a famous classic sentence pattern to twist Gan Kun.

4. How to prepare for the exam

In fact, everyone has this kind of thinking, but it has not become a kind of thinking, so let it play a role in the exam, because everyone practices less. English writing is in an awkward position. On the one hand, everyone wants grades, but on the other hand, the composition written by everyone in one semester will be two by the end of the term. It is no exaggeration to say that some students may only write six compositions in three years in high school, so practice is very important. If you don't practice now and regard the college entrance examination as an exercise, it is reasonable to get only 14 and 15 points in your composition. At this time, you should not scold the marking teacher for being unfair, but ask yourself why you didn't practice more when preparing for the exam, because time is squeezed out. I hope you can make time.
