3、段者，0-9分（指規(guī)定三段的作文）。2021-11-86（三）四級作文通病分析l 通過對歷年英語短文寫作考生答卷的分析，考生寫作時已具有較大的主動性和創(chuàng)造性。絕大多數(shù)考生都有一定的英語基礎，也已經(jīng)基本上掌握了表達自己觀點和想法的詞匯和語法知識。但從整體得分來看，多數(shù)考生短文寫作成績卻不盡人意。分數(shù)主要集中在5-9分。2021-11-87l考生普遍存在著普遍的問題是思維單調，例證堆切，簡單羅例數(shù)據(jù)，片面描繪畫面，缺乏主題提升等方面的通病。究其原因，一方面存在著教學過程中忽略了對學生書面表達能力的培養(yǎng)，學生缺乏適量的作文訓練；另一方面，還有些考生對英語短文寫作的考試要求不十分明確，靠背幾篇范文，壓

6、作的關鍵。字詞組合看似簡單其實奧妙無窮。不同文化、不同風格的作者肯定會寫出不同的句子結構。句子有簡單句、并列句、復合句之分。僅僅簡單句可分為主謂結構、主謂賓結構、主謂賓+賓結構、主謂補結構、主謂賓補結構、主（系）動表結構等等。而復合句有不同的組合關系如條件關系、因果關系、讓步關系、對比關系、遞進關系。條件句又細分真實條件和非真實條件（虛擬）。2021-11-813l根據(jù)句子語態(tài)，句子有主動語態(tài)和被動語態(tài)之分。根據(jù)排列順序，句子可分為正常語序句和倒裝句。l 一般說來，好的文章包含復合句、非真實條件句、被動語態(tài)、倒裝句更多，因為它們是受教育程度高低的主要衡量指標。它們的語法規(guī)則嚴格而復雜，受教育少

7、的人是無法正確駕馭這種句子的構建。同時它們也是正式語體和書面語體的集中表現(xiàn)。l 2021-11-814l 外語習得者要消滅寫句子時的錯誤通常是不可能的，但是朝少犯錯誤、不犯嚴重錯誤的方向而努力奮斗，這應該是受到鼓勵和勞有所報的過程。l正確無誤的句子的標準如下：2021-11-815l 1. 保持句子結構完整。 2. 首字母要大寫。 3. 結尾要有句號或問號或感嘆號或省略號。 4. 句子應表達一個完整的意思。 5. 句子前后要符合邏輯推理。l 6. 主語為代詞時要指代明晰。 7.句子時態(tài)要正確，主要指前后一致或符合 上下文場景。2021-11-816for example:l1.1.from s
