2. 表達清楚，意思連貫

3. 用詞正確，句式有變化，語言比較規範

4. 文章的字數符合要求)

閱卷老師評分的三個主要標準

1. 語言： 語言主要是時態，主謂一致;語言要豐富多彩，盡量使用同義詞語替換;句式也要求豐富多變，不要拘泥於主—謂—賓結構，長短句結合為宜。

2. 結構。文章往往採用「總—分—總」的關係，英語文章先論點后論證，結構清晰。

It is no exaggeration to say that telecommunications bring huge benefits and great convenience to our daily life. For instance, telephone makes it possible for people in different places to talk to one another; and mobile phone and e-mail even brings us much more convenience by enabling us to communicate with others regardless of time and place. Furthermore, thanks to the rapid growth of telecommunications, business corporations and government officials can manage their affairs far more efficiently through phone, fax, and on-line computer. It is an even more important information source for those research workers. Thus, we may say that modern life would be unimaginable without telecommunications.

3. 內容：觀點和思想不要創新，但一定要體現正向的心態，觀點不宜特例獨行。

寫作(12—15分鐘)

1. 結構與功能對應原則

在寫小作文過程中，應時刻牢記：應用文的實用性很強，最重要的特點就是結構與功能的對應原則。

2. 模板句活用原則

3. 檢查(2—3分鐘)

格式檢查：應用文對格式是有很高的要求的，書信中前有日期、稱呼語後有結束語

拼寫語法是否錯誤：檢查時看看有沒有語法結構和拼寫錯誤。不影響卷面的整潔

== 大小作文必備的語法 ==：

1. 過去成時表示過去某時之前已完成的動作或狀況。在時間上, 它屬於「過去的過去」。

a. No sooner had the foot ball game begun than it started raining

b. Hardly/Scarcely had I arrived when I began to write to you.

c. By the end of 2008, the number of users of mobile phones had reached up to 1.2 billions.

2. 現在完成時表示目前已完成的動作或剛剛完成的動作。

Otherwise, we will pay a heavy price for what we have done sooner or later.

還有up to now, so far, these days, for, since 等…(後接一段時間的短語),

a. So far I haven't heard of anybody who wants stop living on account of the cost.

迄今為止，我從未聽說過有人因生活費過昂而不要生存下去的。

b. Up to now the number of users of cell phones has reached up to 1.2 billions around the world.

c. In some countries，economic growth has been even more rapid. In Japan，for instance，average income has doubled in/over the past 20 years，and in South Korea it has doubled in/over the past 10 years

3. 將來完成時表示將來某時前已完成的動作, 它與可用來表示推測。

a. I hope that you will have solved my problems by the end of the next week.

b. By the end of next year, many more high-rises will have been built around there.

4. 現在完成進行時 「一直在」 have/has been doing

現在完成時間時表示從過去某時開始一直持續到現在的動作。此動作或情況可能已停止, 也可能繼續下經也可表示剛結束的動作。 It has been raining this week.

a. … has, undoubtedly, been playing a significant role in our life as well as our work.(undoubtedly=there is no doubt that…)

b In recent years, the volunteering spirit has been spreading among the Chinese people, especially among youngsters.

特別提醒：同學們，記住了在寫作中會熟練使用完成時態和過去時嗎?

二.語態

英語又主動和被動語態兩種，英文多被動，中文多主動，所以我們寫英語作文時會有意識地用些被動語態嗎?

a. It may be said without the fear of exaggeration that telecommunications bring huge convenience as well as large benefits to our daily life.

b. It is well known that … 大家知道(眾所周知)……/It is generally accepted that…./it is universally acknowledged that…

c. It must be pointed out that … 我們必須指出……

d. Along with the advance of our society, …is of great significance. As a matter of fact, not too much can be emphasized about the significance of ____.

e. Great efforts should be made to inform young people especially the dreadful consequences of

taking up the habit of smoking.

f. Special attention should be paid to the protection of rare animals.

特別提醒：英語的被動語態基本上都需要用中文的主動語態來理解---這是被動語態在翻譯和閱讀中的應用。其次，被動語態在作文里應用需要記住的是「必須意識到」、「必須指出」、「毫不誇張的說」、「或許有人會認為」等

三. 虛擬語氣

1. 請記住一下三種基本形式

a. If it were to rain tomorrow, the game would be put off.

b. If you did not solve my problems, I would complain about the quality of the shoes I bought.

c. If we hadn』t made adequate preparations last year, the conference wouldn』t have been so successful.

注意：混合式的虛擬語氣：If I had taken my raincoat when I came out this morning, I would not be wet now.

引導非真實條件從句的連詞if在正式文件中有時可以省去, were, had, should等非行為動詞這時應提到從句句首。

If I were you, I wouldn』t feel sorry. →Were I you, I wouldn』t feel sorry.

如果我要是經理，我就會儘快解決電話費用問題

Were I your manager, I would solve the problem of phone bill as soon as possible.

4. 建議型/it is suggested/proposed/desired that somebody should do sth/ that something should be done

Secondly, media should play a significant role of educator in arousing people』s awareness of …. In addition, we everyone should be aware of the significance and seriousness of ____.
