专四作文指导PPT

模拟练习
To be a good home tutor, you need some of the gifts of a good baby-minder: you must be able to attract your students, make the child admire you and obey you; you must take good care of the child; and you must be able to share the child’s sadness and straighten out his or her problems.
对有些人来讲, 这也许是对的, 可是对 许多人来说, 这只说明他们失去了信心。
第二段就来分析所制造的对立面的错误。 环绕事先想好的关键词“estimate”, 对自己 和对困难两个方面拟出两条原因：
1] These people do not have a correct estimate of themselves.
然后, 很客观地点出大部分持这种观点的 人错了( 特意不指全部人, 这样显得通情达理, 而且这样写句子结构也难些, 利于表现作文质 量)。 错在哪? 错在没有信心, 又转回主题了:
For some, this might be true. But for many, this only shows that they have lost heart.
Lectures of Writing Ski个不言自明的问题?
如果是有待分析或争论的作文题, 都容易 展开思路, 有话可写。 如果题目是一个公 认的道理, 不言自明, 应当如何写呢? 建议运用原意扩展的技巧, 把这种技巧发 挥得淋漓尽致。

下面通过分析一篇较典型的范文, 来演示这方面的思路。
Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one would ever achieve anything, especially when one is faced with drawbacks or hardships. This truth seems to be self-evident.
范文

I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because their brains wouldn’t keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written.
语言要丰富, 先要考虑有哪些同义 表达和反义表达:

Confidence - faith - build up faith - feel capable of doing sth. lack of confidence - lose heart - feel frustrated

2] They overestimate the difficulties.
为了使这一段更丰满, 不妨在段 首再写个问句, 自问自答，扩句成段。
Why do people often feel frustrated even though they are quite capable of doing something? There are, among others, two main reasons. First, these people do not have a correct estimate of themselves. Second, they overestimate the difficulties.
范文
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
模拟练习
Watch a good policeman, and you will see that he does not stand motionless in the street: he walks the whole time he is on duty; he scans around, his head swiveling vigilantly and his eyes fixing at any suspect.
首先将要论述的不言自明的道理 从正反两面各发挥一句, 本例中正面的 一句是用“whatever”引起的让步结构, 反面的一句用的是一个既精采又好学 的句型 “If..., there is little possibility that..., especially when...”。最后来一 个定型套语,点明主题的客观正确性。 说了长长短短三句话,无非绕着“信心 重要” 这个主题在转圈圈,由此英语写 作能力就显示出来了。
范文
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit motionless before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.
范文

The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s.
一个人不论做什么, 都要做得有信心。 如果没有信心, 就不可能成就任何事情, 尤 其是在面临挫折或艰难的时候。 这一真理 似乎是不言自明的。
接着来个转折, 制造一个对立面, 即确有干事缺少 信心的人, 他们有什么感受, 好在后文中加以分析:
However, in reality we do see a lot of people who complain that they lack the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to overcome. 然而, 在现实中我们确实看到许多人抱怨他 们缺乏作某事的能力或者他们的困难太大了, 没法克服。
模拟练习
The fact that a good basketball player has some of the gifts of a good football player doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to play well on the football field, for there are very important differences between the basketball player’s work and the football player’s.
平时练作文时就要养成找同义表达和 反义表达的习惯。
下一步, 想法找一两个可围 绕做文章的关键词。
譬如, 从反面着眼, 想想一个人要是 没有信心, 原因是什么? 如果想到了是个 不能正确估计自己和估计困难的问题, 那 么就找出了一个可环绕做文章的"词眼" estimate(估计), estimate 既可作动词, 也可 作名词, 还可加前缀变成overestimate(过 高估计) 和underestimate(过低估计),用起 来有声有色。
模拟练习
I have known many learners who were fine painters in the background of society but were unable to draw a real painting because the meaning and the value of their job is to give all the people a satisfied, pleasing scenery.
题目：
The Importance of Confidence

confidence(信心)的重要性是不言自明的。 但非得把这个主题演绎为一篇三段式的 作文。先考虑用词。 由于文中不可避免 地要多次提到"信心","缺乏信心"这样的 内容, 不能总是用"confidence"或"lack of confidence"。
