解析:
小作文即A 節作文的評分側重點(diǎn)在于信息點(diǎn)的覆蓋、內容的組織、語(yǔ)言的準確性、格式和語(yǔ)域的恰當。對語(yǔ)法結構和詞匯多樣性的要求將根據具體試題作調整。允許在作文中使用提示語(yǔ)中出現過(guò)的個(gè)別關(guān)鍵詞或詞組,但使用提示語(yǔ)中出現過(guò)的句子將被扣分。
要點(diǎn)一定要覆蓋全!本文有兩個(gè)要點(diǎn):一是簡(jiǎn)要介紹夏令營(yíng)活動(dòng)內容;二是招募志愿者。
所以本篇文章必須包括以上兩點(diǎn)!關(guān)于活動(dòng)內容,大家可以寫(xiě)組織學(xué)習和體育比賽之類(lèi)。關(guān)于招募志愿者,大家可以寫(xiě)志愿者要符合什么條件!
當然,這篇文章還是有不少陷阱的,比如日期的選擇,學(xué)校的選擇!不過(guò)跨考的谷老師認為:格式的問(wèn)題重點(diǎn)一定是有沒(méi)有的問(wèn)題!
今年英語(yǔ)二的作文出題可謂是另辟蹊徑!大作文如此,小作文亦是一樣!從2010年設立英語(yǔ)二的試卷以來(lái),連續五年的小作文都考到的是書(shū)信!而今年考查的是通知這種告示類(lèi)文體!相信不僅是眾多的考研同學(xué)們,就是不少老師都是始料未及的!
翻到《全國碩士研究生招生考試英語(yǔ)(二)考試大綱(非英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè))》第2頁(yè),在考查目標里的寫(xiě)作部分,有以下的表述:
考生應能寫(xiě)不同類(lèi)型的應用文,包括私人和公務(wù)信函、備忘錄、報告等,還應能寫(xiě)一般描述性、敘述性和說(shuō)明或議論性的文章。
再翻到第5頁(yè),在考試形式、考試內容與試卷結構的寫(xiě)作部分,有以下的表述:
該部分由A、B 兩部分組成,主要考查考生的書(shū)面表達能力。共25分。
A節:考生根據所給情景寫(xiě)出一篇約100詞(標點(diǎn)符號不計算在內)的應用性短文,包括私人和公務(wù)信函、備忘錄、報告等。共10分。
B節:要求考生根據所規定的情景或給出的提綱,寫(xiě)出一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)說(shuō)明文或議論文。提供情景的形式為圖畫(huà)、圖表或文字。共15分。
從對于小作文的要求來(lái)看,大綱上并未有對通知考查的出現。針對這一點(diǎn),我們有理由替同學(xué)們感到憤怒!不過(guò),英語(yǔ)一和英語(yǔ)二是緊密聯(lián)系在一起的,相信同學(xué)們在準備英語(yǔ)二的時(shí)候肯定也做了英語(yǔ)一的真題,在寫(xiě)作這一部分,英語(yǔ)一在2010年就考了通知!
我在網(wǎng)上也找到了2010年的大綱中,在評價(jià)目標中:考生應能寫(xiě)不同類(lèi)型的應用文,包括私人和公務(wù)信函、備忘錄、摘要、報告等,以及一般描述性、敘述性、說(shuō)明性或議論性的文章;在考試形式、考試內容與試卷結構中:考生根據所給情景寫(xiě)出一篇約100詞(標點(diǎn)符號不計算在內)的應用性短文,包括私人和公務(wù)信函、備忘錄、摘要、報告等。
從中也可以看出并沒(méi)有對通知的要求,不過(guò),從常識來(lái)看,通知應該是最基本和最常見(jiàn)的一種告示,是一種重要的應用文。
48.Directions:
Write an essay based on the following chart. you should
1) interpret the chart and
2) give your comments.
You should write about 150 words on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points).

我國某市居民春節假期花銷(xiāo)比例
作文解析:
今年英語(yǔ)二作文的題目比較好寫(xiě),因為標題和圖示非常清晰明白。圖標顯示了我國某市居民春節假期花銷(xiāo)比例, 考生分析原因的話(huà)也會(huì )很簡(jiǎn)單。下面分三段簡(jiǎn)要地說(shuō)一下這三段應該怎么寫(xiě)。
第一段主要是描述圖表。圖表一目了然,數量詞百分比也是大家熟悉的詞匯,主要是春節的翻譯,可能有些同學(xué)不會(huì )寫(xiě),為Spring Festival。表述數據時(shí),圖中有四組數據,由于字數的限制以及為了寫(xiě)作的便利可以突出最大比例的“新年禮物”,其他兩個(gè)“交通”和“聚會(huì )吃飯”可以選擇其一來(lái)描述,注意百分比的表達方式。
第二段給出你的評論,主要寫(xiě)這種情況的原因。主要要結合圖表描述的內容從兩個(gè)方面寫(xiě)起。一方面為什么買(mǎi)新年禮物花費的錢(qián)最多, 另一方面為什么交通或者聚會(huì )會(huì )占到20%比例。
最后結尾段落可簡(jiǎn)要得出結論,這種現象并不奇怪,還將繼續下去。
參考例文:
As is clearly reflected in the above pie chart, the proportion of money spent on various affairs demonstrates obvious differences during the Spring Festival in one city of China. According to the data given, the money spent on buying gifts for others takes a lion’s share, accounting for 40%. While transportation takes away 20% of the whole proportion.
What triggers this phenomenon? It is not difficult to put forward several factors responsible for this phenomenon. To start with, with the ever-growing eagerness to keep up with others, oceans of folks intended to offer thicker and thicker red envelope to kids as gift money, which leads to the high proportion of our expenditure. What’s more, due to the great urbanization, most Chinese residents move from their hometowns to work in big cities. In order to cover the long distance and enjoy the happy together with family members, a large amount of money is spent on transportation.
In view of the arguments above, we can conclude that the current phenomenon is of no surprise. And therefore, it can be predicted that buying gifts and transportation will still take up a large share in our expenditure during the Spring Festival.
