一、单词要尽可能用正式的书面英语,一些口语中的用语需要避免,如要表达“我认为”,我们最好不要用“I think”,而应该选用丰富多样的表达方法,如I believe/ argue/ insist/ maintain/ deem/ As I see it,/ In my opinion,/ From my point of view,/ As to me,/ As for me,/ As regards me,/ When it comes to me,/As far as I am concerned,…等。这样在考试中适当得用上,就可以给阅卷老师留下更好的第一印象。
Sentence 2: It goes without saying that love is of the utmost importance to every one of us.
可以明显看出,第二句的意思更加丰满,并且可以表明考生对于英语的句型掌握较好。
三、段落展开时要非常严谨。因为英语是一门逻辑性非常强的语言,所以在写每一个段落时首先需要确定使用什么样的展开方法。如果是用列举法,那么在每一个论据前面一定要加上表示顺序的连接词,如In the first place,…In the second place,…Last but not least,…等,这样可以给阅卷老师一个明确的心理预期,而且也可以向老师表明我们的思维很清晰,使用了衔接手段。
Directions: Study the following photos carefully and write an essay in which you should
1. describe the photos briefly
2. interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and
3. give your point of view
As is vividly described in the two pictures, many young people are fans of stars and they try every means to show their adoration. The first photo shows a face of a guy who has the name“Beckham”—a famous British footballer written on his face, while in the second picture another guy spends 300 yuan—a big sum of money for many people doing a hairstyle of Beckham.
The photos clearly reveal a serious and pervasive social problem nowadays. First of all, there is no denying that many youngsters want to be famous or rich overnight, therefore their focus is only on the success of the superstars, ignoring the fact that the famous people have to overcome many hardships and difficulties before they attain their success. A case in point is Beckham or Liu Xiang. What‘s more, following the footsteps of superstars will waste the youngsters’precious time. They are at a prime time to learn new knowledge and lay a solid foundation for their future career. Sheer adoration of stars will ruin their study and their future. Last but not least, some stars are not the ideal idols for young people, for example, the famous footballer Maradona used to abuse drugs. This, of course, has a negative effect on the development of the young people.
In my point of view, effective measures must be taken to correct this situation. It is the responsibility of the authorities to educate the young people to achieve success in a correct way. Meanwhile, the younger generation should redirect their adoration for stars to hard work, thus making greater contributions to the society. (270 words, 69/148/53)
