实用英语写作期末复习提纲实用写作期末复习提纲CHAPTER ONEWhen applying for a job a cover letter should be sent or posted with your resume.Your cover letter should be specific to the position you are applying for, relating your skills and experience to those noted in the job posting. Your cover letter is your first (and best) chance to make a good impression!●It is very important, but also quite difficult, to get thetone and style right in job application letters.●Application LetterSpecifying the job being applied for, relating studies to job demands, mentioning relevant part-time work, referring reader to the resume, mentioning the qualities developed through project work, stating reasons for applying to this particular company, showing knowledge of company?s plans, linking language skills to company?s plans and giving contact details and stating available for interview1.The conciseness, clarity, correctness and courteousnessare very important.2. A resume always contains particular information insequence and under certain headings: career objective, personal data, education and qualifications, employment record, extracurricular activities and awards, special skills, hobbies and sports and referees.3.The most important language feature of a resume is itssimplicity.4. Format of English Application Letters● block format (板块式/齐头式): In block format, all the things are justified to the left.● semi-block style(半板块式): These parts ( letterhead, date, complimentary close and signature) are started from the centre to the right. While the rest parts are still justified to the left.● indented format (缩进式): This format is quite similar to the semi-block style with the exception that the first line of each paragraph in the body part is to be indented about 4 letters.5. Structure of English Application LettersHeading信头Inside Address信内地址Salutation称呼Body正文Complementary Close结束语Signature签名Enclosure附件CHAPTER TWO1. A memo is used only for communication within acompany, i.e. it is an intra-company document and is not used for inter-company communication.2. A memo may be distributed top-down or bottom-up./doc/e24857574.html,ing first person words like …we?, …I? and …our? andsecond person words like …you? and …your? reduces the distance between the sender and receiver. Junior employees writing to senior employees can use these words, but they need to be careful that the right distance, and therefore courtesy, is maintained.●Title(MEMORANDU M), Heading(To, From, Date,Subject), Body(Purpose, Background, Request)●Informative memo; persuasive memoCHAPTER THREE●Minutes of a meeting are written for two main purposes:to create a record of what took place in the meeting and to remind those at the meeting of the actions they need to take after the meeting.●Whatever the length, minutes always include the timeand date of the meeting, the name of all those present and absent, the agenda items discussed and all decisions reached and the time at which the meeting ended.●When writing minutes, we need to use reported speech.CHAPTER FOUR●Instructions are information about what to do andthose step-by-step explanations of how to do or where to go.A complete instruction manual should include these parts:●Title●General Introduction●A General Warning, Caution and Danger Notice●A TechnicalBackground or Theory●Equipment and Supplies●Discussion of the steps●A ConclusionSome tips of writing instructions:●work out the right order for your instruct ions●keep your sentences short and simple●number your instructions if you wish●use command verbs●use the present or sometimes the future tense●present your writing clearlyThe stylistic features of instruction :1.From the lexical level:1) Word choice and professional words2) Omission of articles3) Abbreviations4) Figures and graphs5) Verbs2. From the syntactical level1) Short simple sentences2) Frequent use of imperative sentencesCHAPTER FIVEQuestionnaires are an inexpensive way to gatherdata from a potentially large number of respondents.How to make a questionnaire1. Decide what information you want to gather fromthe survey2. Keep the survey as short as possible, asking only those questions that will provide3. Use a casual, conversational style, making the questions easy for almost anyone to understand.4. Structure the survey so that the questions follow a logical order and evolve from general to specific.5. Use multiple-choice questions whenever possible. ?6. Avoid leading questions that might generate false positive responses.In general, there are two types of questions one will ask, open format and closed format.CHAPTER SIX“advertising” might be defined as any means of bringing information to the public for the purpose of drawing attention to manufactured goods, services, shops, or entertainments.Advertisement is an action or form of communication whose purpose is to inform potential customers about products and services and how to obtain and use them.The Purposes of AdvertisementGiving consumers in the target market a positive image of a particular product or serviceHelping to position the product in the marketInforming and persuadingWe persuade others in three main ways: appeal to reason, appeal to emotions and appeal to trust.CHAPTER SEVEN1.Letters of request are written to seek information andto obtain a response to a specific enquiry.2.Letters responding to requests give information but alsoattempt to build goodwill.3.Letters of complaint normally include the followinginformation: an explanation of the problem, the consequences of the problem for both parties and a request to solve the problem.4. A letter of adjustment will normally include the followinginformation in the given order: an offer of apologies, a summary of action taken to rectify the problems and an assurance of goodwill including the offer of compensation, if appropriate.5.Block formatThe main feature of this format is that everything (with the possible exception of the company?s letterhead and logo) is blocked or justified to the left side of the page.With this style, it is not necessary to use commas or full stops in the date, address, salutation, or close.6.SalutationIf you know the name of your recipient, begin Dear Mr.or Ms. X and close Yours sincerely; if you do not know the recipient or their gender, begin Dear Sir/Madam and close Yours faithfully.CHAPTER EIGHT●Introduction, body and conclusion●Sales(pl.)●Grow, ascend, mount, soar, level up, shoot up, boom●Descend, plunge, plummet, slump, skid, tumble, leveldown, bottom out●Flatten out, reach a plateau, remain, maintain, keep, stay,be the same as, be similar to, level off/outCHAPTER NINE1.Business proposals are written to suggest new ideas fororganizing a company to make it more efficient or for promoting its products and services in a more effective way.2.To be practical, there are five areas in which an ideaneeds to work: the technical, the resource-related, the financial, the social and the environmental.CHAPTER TEN1. A company profile provides prospective clients andcustomers with what the company considers to be keyinformation about the organization. This will normally include: facts and figures about its majorproducts and services, the history and development of the company, its mission and philosophy, a statement of identity and a projection of its preferred image.2. A company profile has both informational andpromotional purposes.。
1.段落解释:is a unit of thought composed of sentences,smaller units of thought,that relate to a single topic.Paragraph divisions serve two very useful functions 2.A good paragraph is composed 组成 in such a way that it has :eachidea with nothing in the paragraph not covered by the topicit explores the main idea explicitly andconcretely,with plenty of details,examples,and explanations3.has sound internal structure.The qualities that indicate sound internal structure are unity,coherence,and completeness.4.怎样做到内容一致An excellent way of achieving unityis by means of the topic sentence.Properly used,the topic sentence forces the writer to adhere to and to sustain the point he is trying to establish5.标题句 the topic sentence properly used can achieve unity in the paragraph,which indicate the importance of the topic sentence;②the topic sentence6.第二个写作常识In short,a good topic sentence has a limited subject and a sharp focus,namely,a good topic sentence is not too general nor too narrow.A topic sentence that is too general requires much more than a paragraph to develop it.A coherence is connection and consistency.A coherent paragraph is one in which all the sentence are related logically and grammatically to make a whole that allows the reader to follow the writer’s train of thought step by step8.第三个写作常识 Just as topic sentenceshelp readers follow our ideas,other signals also help them understand what we have to say.When we write and when we revise,look for the areas that seem choppy or unconnected —that lack coherence.We can establish better coherence by using the following devices:pronoun reference,repetition ,and in a paragraph means that the topic is adequately developed by details,explanations,definitions,evidences,and the like,so that the reader is not left with only a fuzzy idea of what the writer means1第四个写作常识:Development of the main idea, then, is like enlarging a photograph to make the details clearer. So, development in the paragraph is as important as unity and coherence between skillful development helps us to stick to our subject and focus and to keep up the sense of oneness.2Inductive Pattern (归纳法概念):In developing a paragraph by means of the inductive pattern of reasoning the writer presents particular instances of a like kind and leads them into valid generalization which serves as his topic sentence.3Deductive Pattern (演绎法概念):In developing a paragraph by means of the deductive pattern the writer begins with a generalization(the topic sentence) and proceeds with specific elaboration or application of the general idea.4Inductive-deductive Pattern(归纳演绎法):As the name indicates, in developing a paragraph by means of inductive-deductive pattern the writer first presents particular instances and a resulting generalization, then applies the generalization to a new instance. 5第五个写作常识:Sequences of development are not independent of types of development. The most important sequences of development are general to particular, particular to general, climactic, chronological, and spatial.6Climactic Sequence (层递顺序):In a climactic sequence, the most intense or highest point of interest is saved for the final sentence, which may be, but is not necessarily, the topic sentence.7.Chronological Sequence (时间顺序):A chronological sequence is one in which earlier things precede later things; items are listed in the order in which they occur in time. The most obvious use of a chronological sequence is in telling a story. 8Spatial Sequence (空间顺序):A spatial sequence is used in descriptions of various types. It starts the reader at a particular point and then moves logically in some direction, from one place to another.9第六个写作常识:The type of development is the way in which the main idea is supported-by details, definitions, statements of cause and effect, and so on.10段落展开方式:Among the most important types of paragraph development are development by detail, comparison and contrast, process, classification and partition, cause and effect, definition, and mixed development.11Development by Comparison and Contrast (比较和对比):①a comparison shows how two or more things are alike; ②a contrast shows how they are different.12Development by Division and Classification (分类法和归类法):Dividing and classifying information is central to the writing process. When we divide, we begin with a whole, a complete body of information or one idea, and break it into its parts. When we classify, we begin with many small observations and sort them into categories on the basisof their similarities.13第七个写作常识:Causal analysis involves the ability to see cause and effect relationships between two elements. In order to arrive at a cause, we need to distinguish among three kinds: necessary, sufficient and contributory.14第八个写作常识:Definitions are particularly important for limiting the intended meaning of abstract or technical terms. There are two types of definition: formal definition and extended definition. Formal definition includes the term itself, the class it belongs to, and the details that distinguish it from other items in its class.15第九个写作常识:As we have seen, a single paragraph often contains more than one type of development. Almost any kind of paragraph may include examples or illustrations. The important thing is to avoid switching abruptly and apparently without reason from one kind of development to another in the middle of a paragraph.16第十个写作常识:The introduction is probably the most important part of an essay. The introduction should agree in tone and style with the rest of the essay. It should be a natural part of it, not a different construction grafted on the top.。

大学生大一《写作教程》第二学期复习要点一、大作文1.我最_________的一个人2.我生命中最________的一天二、课本要点复习(一)1.人物描写:一个中心、四种手段、一个中心与四种手段的关系四种手段:肖像描写、语言描写、行动描写和心理描写2.关于诗歌:意象、意境、意象与意境的关系意象:意象是由“意”和“像”两个因素构成。
意象是主观情感与客观物态相互融合、相互渗透所形成的审美契合的产物,是艺术品物化前的基本形态。
意境:指情景交融、物我浑化、主客体统一的整体意象所显示的艺术境界。
包括有我和无我之境。
意象与意境的关系:既相互联系又不能等同划一。
两者区别首先在于“境”和“象”的概念内涵是不同的。
意境一般比意象的含义容量要广阔的多,且带有整体性,因为它是形象体系所构成的一种艺术境界。
意象虽作为一种表达形式出现,但只具有个别性、局部性。
3.散文与诗歌的区别:诗歌区别于散文的主要特点是在其文体的音韵特点上。
诗歌是用韵律语言表现生活和思想的艺术。
诗歌与散文在内容上可以一样,不同的只有一点,诗讲究韵律,是由其诗歌内部韵节奏与音节奏的矛盾运动而形成的一种讲究语音效果的音乐化的语言艺术。
诗歌与散文是可以相互转化的。
诗歌的文字简练、意境内涵深远;散文的文字优雅舒展,有可以尽情发挥的空间;诗歌偏重直觉和灵感,根据不同内容可分为叙事诗,抒情诗,宗教试等,可含蓄可直接。
散文讲究形式自由,所谓形散而神不散。

(完整word版)大学英语期末考试写作必背Is It Better to Buy or Rent?The price of housing has kept increasing in recent years, which causes a big headache for people living in cities.A lot of people cannot afford to own a real estate property, so they choose to rent instead of buying an apartment. This group of people does not want to bear burden of mortgage so that they opt for a practical solution. Renting an apartment makes them have a place to stay and thus they can focus on work as well as personal life. Some other people, however, believe that an apartment owned by themselves makes them feel safe and relieved, so they are willing to sacrifice some other aspects of life to borrow money from the bank to buy an apartment. As far as I am concerned, to buy or to rent is all aboutit will be better to rent first and wait for the good timing when the price is going down to buy. Topic 2: On Job HoppingIt seems that nowadays, very few young people are willing to stay in a job position for long, let alone for the whole life. They change jobs constantly. This results from several factors. Firstly, young people like fresh things, and it is easy for them to be fed up with old routine work. So when they stay in a position for a while,the excitement will fade out.They are quite realistic and not willing to waste time in a job they are not interested in. Thirdly, some young people are not satisfied with current salary, believing they deserve better pay. In my opinion, constant job hopping will not benefit young people in their career development. Every job has its own merits and young people can certainly learn something from it as long as they are patient and wise enough. Every job experience is valuable down the career path and young people shall be able to make the most of it.Topic 3: Online Social NetworkModern people will be no stranger to online social network. Facebook, Renren and Kaixin001 are probably the most populous networks among Chinese netizen. In these networks, people interact with each other, be it a stranger or a friend, and have a lot of fun in the virtual world. This phenomenon could be a result of the fast development of the Internet and people's great interest of the virtual world. I think it is a very good new platform for people to keep in touch. But it should not be overused. Firstly, some people are addicted to it, which makes them want to get online 24 hours a day. When people spend too much time on one thing,they will naturally have not enough time for study and for work. Secondly, online social network change people's behavior of interacting with others. In virtual world, you just click the mouse and type in words instead of having a face-to-face talk. This will not benefit people's long term friendship, and even harm their interpersonal relationships in real world.Topic 4: The Most Important Skills for Modern PeopleWith the development of science and technology, the skills that modern people master are also changing with it. Some old skills including cooking, sewing and gardening are no longer be deemed as necessary skills. Then what are the most important skills for modern people? Some hold that foreign language skills and computer skills are on top of the list, whereas some others believe that communication skills are the must.As far as I am concerned, communication skills are of the greatest importance for modern people. Firstly, in a globalized world, everyone is interconnected with each other. Communication is the key in personal interaction, and good communication skills can bring people sound interpersonal relationship. Secondly, most of the work done todayrequires teamwork. One person alone can not finish everything. Cooperation asks for communication, and effective communication will promote cooperation. That's the reason why lots of big companies emphasize communication skills first when they are recruiting new employees.Topic 5: What Is More Important: Character or Academic Achievement?What is the criterion to judge the performance of a student? Some believe that the exam marks should be the first standard concerned. A student's first priority is to study well, and academic achievement can show the result of a student's efforts and capability. But some disagree by holding that good character should be considered first when talking about the performance of a student, as character shows that whether a student has correct basic moral value and proper behavior. As far as I am concerned, sound character is more important in judging a student's performance. Firstly, good exam marks can not be everything as that won't follow a student's whole life. But sound character will be the only thing that lasts for long. Secondly, if a student has very poor character, good marks will be meaningless. When the student has grown up, his academic achievement will probably be used for wrong purpose. I, therefore, believe that we should reform the education system and care more for students' character cultivation.Topic 6: On the Importance of Being Grateful Have you ever said "thank you" when your classmates helped you?Have you ever thought about repaying a business partner who once lent you a hand? If the answer is yes, you must be a person who feels grateful. Your gratefulness makes your family more harmonious and helps you build a reliable cooperative relationship with other people, which can help you a lot in your lifetime.However, there are less and less people who feel grateful in the modern society. For one thing, people focus so much on what they can get that they never think of what to give. That is to say, they are too greedy to feel grateful. For another, some people take others' love and care for granted and know nothing about gratefulness.In my view, gratitude is important to our society and cultivating gratitude should begin from children with something small. We should teach our children how important gratitude is and ask them to do small things for others to show their gratefulness. Our society can become more harmonious and beautiful because of gratitude.Topic 7: Living with Parents after GraduationWhich will you choose to deal with your accommodation problem after graduation, living with parents or renting a room on your own? Quite a number of people prefer to rent a room on their own; however, more and more people choose to live with parents.There are several reasons for that. First, because of high housing prices, most people can't afford to buy a house after graduation. What's more, with their limited incomes, the graduates feel stressed with the high housing rent and living costs. Living with parents can save them lots of money which they may spend on housing and daily expenses. Finally, many people have been accustomed to depending on their parents and they can't take care of themselves. Personally speaking, I'd rather rent a room to live my own life, though living with my parents may help save much money.I also suggest that those who are so dependent on parents should learn to be independent as early as possible.Topic 8: More Disasters than Before?Much attention has been paid to reports about natural disasters recently. Earthquakes, droughts and floods in theWest and Southwest this year resulted in many casualties and great losses, which greatly shocked us and forced us to be on alert. We can't help raising the question: are there more disasters than before?Many people probably will say "yes" to this question. There are more and more reports about disasters on TV and on the front pages of newspapers and websites. Media often cover details of disasters for days, which easily gives viewers a false image that disasters happen every day. As far as I am concerned, the great coverage of natural disasters by the media reflects the environmental awareness of human beings. We are more concerned about environmental protection now, and this is the first step to a better future of our planet.Topic 9: How to Deal with Peer Pressures?People often feel peer pressures. For example, your roommates smoke but you don't. Your classmates wear expensive clothes but you don't. In these cases, you may feel excluded if you don't do the same things as they do. Sometimes peer pressures drivepeople crazy, but you can only rely on yourself to deal with it.There are two ways to deal with peer pressures. First, pay attention to your own feelings and decide what you should do. Try saying "no" to peer pressures. Don't give in to pressures and do things against your will.Second, find friends who stand on your side. It's tough to deal with peer pressures alone,but it's much easier if at least one peer supports you. Make friends with those who have similar opinions or habits to yours, so that you won't feel excluded.To conclude, peer pressures can be eased if you have the courage to say "no" to it, and combat with it together with your true friends. Topic 10: Lectures and DiscussionsLectures and discussions are two main styles of teaching in universities, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some students are in favor of lectures, but others enjoy discussions very much.Lecturing is the most traditional teaching method in China, because it is considered highly efficient. Students can get used to lectures easily, for most of them have been taught in this way since primary school. Teachers play a very important role in lectures, while students seldom have chances to speak. On the contrary, discussions allow students to have chances to interact with each other. What's more, students have more freedom and initiative in class where they can express their ideas freely and ask any questions about the topic. However, the class can easily go out of control if there is no restriction.As for me, I prefer discussions to lectures because of the open atmosphere. However, teachers should take charge of the discussions to help students learn more.Topic 11: On the Importance of Mutual UnderstandingNowadays many people are so focused on their own interests that they barely consider the feelings of others. As a result, misunderstandings, or even conflicts, arise.It is important for people to understand each other during a conversation, or in the interpersonal communication. For one thing, mutual understanding makes it easy for both parties to reach an agreement on the topic they are discussing. This may help solve the most difficult issues among different cultures, countries orcommunities. Furthermore, for people who are friendly to each other, this mutual understanding can definitely strengthen the love and friendship between them.Both the speaker and the listener can do much to help gain mutual understanding. On the one hand, the speaker should try his best to express himself clearly, correctly, vividly and forcefully. On the other hand, the listener should also make every effort to be very attentive. Most importantly, both parties should take a friendly attitude towards the other side.Topic 12: Book Smart or Street Smart?There is a heated debate nowadays about which is better or more useful, to be book smart or street smart. People's opinions differ greatly over this topic. Some people believe to be book smart is way better. Many important fields like science and education need a great number of book-smart people. They can apply what they learn from books to their career. Others argue that true cleverness is not about how much you have learnt, but about how you deal with what you have learnt. Street-smart people can learn much from different experiences and can solve practical problems easily. They are much useful than book-smart people to some extent. As for me, there's no clear victor in the battle between street-smart people and book-smart ones. They both have their advantages, and our society require both. As a result, it's much better if we are both book smart and street smart.Topic 13: Due Attention Should Be Given to Spoken EnglishAs we all know, spoken English plays an important part in learning English. However, more and more students pay less attention to spoken English nowadays. There are two main reasons for this phenomenon. First, students would rather pay more attention to written English than spoken English because of pressure of exams. In order to enter a better school, students take efforts to improve their grades in examinations. As for English, exams mainly focus on the written part. Therefore, written English becomes students' priority. Furthermore, many students lack courage to speak English. Being afraid of making mistakes and thus losing face, many students dare not speakEnglish in public. In order to change this situation, the educational system should be reformed to keep a balance between written English and spoken English, and schools should pay more attention to the latter. And most importantly, students should be encouraged to make mistakes when speaking English. If they are self-confident, their spoken English is sure to improve.Topic 14: Volunteering ActivitiesWith the progress of society, the volunteer spirit has spread all over the country. More and more people are willing to be volunteers and take part in volunteering activities. Getting involved in volunteer work means a lot to our society. Firstly, you show loving care to others when you are doing volunteer work. You pass love and civilization on to others with your volunteer work, and make others feel that there are always people caring about them. This makes our society more harmonious. Secondly, people whom you help may be influenced by your good deed and follow your lead. As a result, all people may help and care about each other, which makes the world a better place to live in.Since volunteer work is so meaningful, we should call on more people to take part in volunteer activities. All young people are supposed to have the volunteer spirit and be active to do volunteer work.Topic 15: Keep Connected with ParentsMany parents feel confused that, once upon a time, their kids shared everything with them, but now they don't even look at them. With the development of modern society, it seems that more and more children aren't willing to communicate with their parents. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. For one thing, many kids think that they have nothing in common with their parents. What parents chatter about is study, which makes them bored. Thus, they prefer to communicate with friends. For another, they feel that their parents don't understand them at all. What they love to do is often against their parents' will and they can't get any support. As a result, the generation gap between parents and children become wider and wider. In order to change thissituation, both parents and children should work together. Parents should learn to be a good listener and respect their children's ideas, whereas children should keep connected with their parents actively.Topic 16: My View on Knowledge EconomyKnowledge economy, which emphasizes knowledge and people of talent, is gradually replacing the industrial economy and becoming the dominant economic form. It is playing a more and more important role in our economic life in recent years. Knowledge economy has fundamentally transformed our ways of work, business and education. To start with, with the development of knowledge economy, more and more people are transformed from traditional manufacturing industries to new fields such as the Internet and the computer science area. Secondly, knowledge economy has given rise to the boom of electronic commerce and online trade, so you can do business anytime and anywhere. Besides, people have to keep learning something new to adapt to this explosive knowledge society. In my opinion, we should insist on developing knowledge economy and make efforts to educate the young generation, to contribute to the progress of knowledge economy.Topic 17: The Impact of the Internet on EducationAs Internet application is becoming wider and wider, the Internet has already permeated traditional education and has tremendous impact on education. As a result, more and more people tend to choose online education. There are some reasons for this phenomenon. First, online learning breaks the limits of time and space traditional education encounters and provides flexible learning opportunities for all people. Second, with the online learning, one can learn lessons from the best teachers of top schools which one can't have access to traditionally. Third, online learning gives freedom to students, so they can schedule their study according to their own pace of learning. Finally online learning enables them to discuss with others and ask questions freely without seeing each other, which is perfect for shy people. In order to develop online learning, there should be more schools providing all kinds of onlinelessons for people who have different needs, and more people should seize these learning opportunities to enrich their knowledge.Topic 18: On DialectsThere is a controversial issue about whether dialects should be prohibited in public. Opinions vary greatly on this issue.Some deem that dialects should be forbidden in public. There are so many people with various dialects in public that if everybody just speaks their own dialects, it can easily lead to chaos. In order to avoid this situation, we have to choose mandarin as the official language, for it can be understood by most Chinese. However, others argue that everybody has the right to speak dialects. Local dialects have been used for thousands of years, and they are valued as part of the traditional culture. Therefore they shouldn't be abandoned randomly. In addition, dialects still enjoy popularity in the daily communication among people from the same place. From my perspective, local dialects should be maintained and they can be used in public as long as they do not cause misunderstanding among the audience. Moreover, we should take responsibility to preserve endangered dialects.Topic 19: The Benefits of Job InterviewsNowadays, if you apply for a job, you usually have togo through the job interview process. A job interview isan undoubtedly vital process in the course of applying for a job. Job interviews benefit both the interviewer and the candidate. On the one hand, the interviewer is able to get more information about the candidate beyond his resume, and to know what qualifications he has by judging from the performance in the interview. After examining the ability and personality, they can decide whether he is the right person for the position. On the other hand, the candidate can decide whether he takes this job after he gets general information about it, such as the income, working conditions, etc. Moreover, he can gain precious experience by taking part in interviews, which is good for the following interviews.Therefore, the interviewer should make effortsto improve the job interview process to select the best candidate, whereas the candidate should also get well prepared for a better job.Topic 20. My View on White LiesThe question about whether we should tell white lies in daily life has aroused an intense debate over these years. Different people have different opinions.Many believe that we need white lies. There are moments in our life when we have to tell lies. In order to avoid hurting others' feelings or to make others feel better, we often tell white lies instead of conveying the truth. White lies have magic power to give people much hope and warmth. For instance, when you tell lies to a patient who gets incurable disease, he can probably enjoy the rest of his days more peacefully. Others argued that no one should tell lies, no matter what kind of lies. A white lie is essentially a lie. Some people feel betrayed and even get more hurt once they find out the truth, which can wreck a relationship easily. As for me, whether we should tell white lies really depends. You'd better take into consideration what the occasion isand what the result may be.Topic 21: Should a Formal Distance Be Kept Between Students and Teachers?A good interpersonal relationship between teachers and students is vital for successful education.And what is a perfect teacher-student relationship like? Should there be a formal distance between them?The question has aroused much interest.For some, teachers and students should be friends, and there should be little distance between them. The teacher enjoys being treated as a friend by the student, and the student likes confiding in the teacher. Such a relationship is treasured especially by teenagers who are eager to grow up.However, others hold that there should always be a formal distance between the teacher and the student. They argue that only when the teacher keeps a distance from the student can he make fair judgments about all the students and avoid prejudice. In my opinion, the distance between the teacher and the student can best be adjusted according to the specific situation.There is no need to regulate a set distance between the two.Topic 22: Need We "Never Give Up"?When Wallace watched the spider fail six times in spinning a web and succeed at the seventh time, he realized that he should lead his Scottish people to fight against the English invaders for another time, and he, too, succeeded. Whenever we face some difficulties or suffer setbacks in our projects, we can always gain strength from the popular saying: "Never give up!"But need we never give up?Apparently there are always goals we cannever achieve. However hard we tried, we could not win the top prize in every contest; whatever treatment used, we may fail to lengthen the life of someone beloved. There are always frustrations, and some are just beyond us. It is thus wise to accept the reality, i.e. to give up sometimes.As college students, we need the saying "Never give up" to keep us going. But we also need to learn to come to terms with reality. When occasionally I heard news about some college students committing suicide, I said to myself, "If only they had learned to give up!" Topic 23: Work in the Countryside Many university graduates now volunteer to work in the countryside. It is reported that once hundreds of university graduates competed with one another to work as a village leader in Beijing. Many factors have contributed to this phenomenon. First, with more and more university students graduating each year, the job market competition becomes increasingly fierce, and many graduates cannot find jobs in the cities. Working in the countryside is better than being jobless. Second, the villages that are trying to employ university graduates are generally in the rich areas of the country, which makes working there an attractive choice. Third, some university graduates, being from the countryside, are eager to go back home to contribute to the construction of their hometown. With their knowledge and enthusiasm, they will play an important role in building the new countryside.Personally, I think university graduates should go to work where they are needed most and where they can make full use of their talents. Working in the countryside can be truly an advisable choice. Topic 24: Should Old People Stay at Home or Be Placed in Nursing Homes?Should old people stay with their children or go to the nursing homes?Some hold that old people should stay at home. For one thing, the young are obliged to repay the care and love they once received from the old. For another, the old may help with some housework and gain a sense of achievement, which is important for their mental and physical health. By contrast, some argue that old people should be placed in nursing homes, where they can not only have opportunities to communicate and have fun with their peers,but also be treated by professional doctors and nurses. Furthermore, with the old staying in nursing homes, the young may have more time and energy to devote to their own careers.In my view,the decision should be made with all factors fully considered. Above all, the opinion of the old should be respected. They themselves should be the ones who make the decision, not the young.。

1.段落解释:is a unit of thought composed of sentences,smaller units of thought,that relate to a single topic.Paragraph divisions serve two very useful functions 2.A good paragraph is composed 组成 in such a way that it has :eachidea with nothing in the paragraph not covered by the topicit explores the main idea explicitly andconcretely,with plenty of details,examples,and explanations3.has sound internal structure.The qualities that indicate sound internal structure are unity,coherence,and completeness.4.怎样做到内容一致An excellent way of achieving unityis by means of the topic sentence.Properly used,the topic sentence forces the writer to adhere to and to sustain the point he is trying to establish5.标题句 the topic sentence properly used can achieve unity in the paragraph,which indicate the importance of the topic sentence;②the topic sentence6.第二个写作常识In short,a good topic sentence has a limited subject and a sharp focus,namely,a good topic sentence is not too general nor too narrow.A topic sentence that is too general requires much more than a paragraph to develop it.A coherence is connection and consistency.A coherent paragraph is one in which all the sentence are related logically and grammatically to make a whole that allows the reader to follow the writer’s train of thought step by step8.第三个写作常识 Just as topic sentenceshelp readers follow our ideas,other signals also help them understand what we have to say.When we write and when we revise,look for the areas that seem choppy or unconnected —that lack coherence.We can establish better coherence by using the following devices:pronoun reference,repetition ,and in a paragraph means that the topic is adequately developed by details,explanations,definitions,evidences,and the like,so that the reader is not left with only a fuzzy idea of what the writer means1第四个写作常识:Development of the main idea, then, is like enlarging a photograph to make the details clearer. So, development in the paragraph is as important as unity and coherence between skillful development helps us to stick to our subject and focus and to keep up the sense of oneness.2Inductive Pattern (归纳法概念):In developing a paragraph by means of the inductive pattern of reasoning the writer presents particular instances of a like kind and leads them into valid generalization which serves as his topic sentence.3Deductive Pattern (演绎法概念):In developing a paragraph by means of the deductive pattern the writer begins with a generalization(the topic sentence) and proceeds with specific elaboration or application of the general idea.4Inductive-deductive Pattern(归纳演绎法):As the name indicates, in developing a paragraph by means of inductive-deductive pattern the writer first presents particular instances and a resulting generalization, then applies the generalization to a new instance. 5第五个写作常识:Sequences of development are not independent of types of development. The most important sequences of development are general to particular, particular to general, climactic, chronological, and spatial.6Climactic Sequence (层递顺序):In a climactic sequence, the most intense or highest point of interest is saved for the final sentence, which may be, but is not necessarily, the topic sentence.7.Chronological Sequence (时间顺序):A chronological sequence is one in which earlier things precede later things; items are listed in the order in which they occur in time. The most obvious use of a chronological sequence is in telling a story. 8Spatial Sequence (空间顺序):A spatial sequence is used in descriptions of various types. It starts the reader at a particular point and then moves logically in some direction, from one place to another.9第六个写作常识:The type of development is the way in which the main idea is supported-by details, definitions, statements of cause and effect, and so on.10段落展开方式:Among the most important types of paragraph development are development by detail, comparison and contrast, process, classification and partition, cause and effect, definition, and mixed development.11Development by Comparison and Contrast (比较和对比):①a comparison shows how two or more things are alike; ②a contrast shows how they are different.12Development by Division and Classification (分类法和归类法):Dividing and classifying information is central to the writing process. When we divide, we begin with a whole, a complete body of information or one idea, and break it into its parts. When we classify, we begin with many small observations and sort them into categories on the basisof their similarities.13第七个写作常识:Causal analysis involves the ability to see cause and effect relationships between two elements. In order to arrive at a cause, we need to distinguish among three kinds: necessary, sufficient and contributory.14第八个写作常识:Definitions are particularly important for limiting the intended meaning of abstract or technical terms. There are two types of definition: formal definition and extended definition. Formal definition includes the term itself, the class it belongs to, and the details that distinguish it from other items in its class.15第九个写作常识:As we have seen, a single paragraph often contains more than one type of development. Almost any kind of paragraph may include examples or illustrations. The important thing is to avoid switching abruptly and apparently without reason from one kind of development to another in the middle of a paragraph.16第十个写作常识:The introduction is probably the most important part of an essay. The introduction should agree in tone and style with the rest of the essay. It should be a natural part of it, not a different construction grafted on the top.。

大学英语III(2)期末复习指导四、备考及考试中应注意的问题大学英语III(2)课程终结考试重在检验考生听、说、读、写、译的综合技能。
命题原则是:根据教材所涵盖的交际功能、语言项目以及与教材难度相当的听力和书面语言材料命题,涉及教材内容不少于50%。
学生在平时的学习中,要扎扎实实地学好教材中的内容,认真完成每个单元的学习目标。
在备考复习时,要注意熟悉考试的各类题型。
第一部分听力理解考题形式与大学英语III(1)相同,有听对话和听短文两部分构成。
对话及问题放两遍。
在考听力时,学生要充分利用录音中所提供的“读题”时间,进行提前预测。
在拿到考题后,应快速浏览题目,并将自己已知的背景知识与将要听到的信息内容联系起来,另外还要特别注意测试题中传递重要信息的关键词,这样就做到了听前心中有数。
这部分要求考生熟悉各个单元中的Listening and Speaking以及Self-Assessment中的所有短文和对话。
第二部分词汇与结构这部分要求考生重点掌握A篇短文中的常用词组,课后练习和各个单元Self-Assessment 中的词汇与结构(Structure and V ocabulary)部分。

在考试中做阅读理解题时,阅读速度是非常关键的。
而要提高阅读速度,最重要的是在平时就培养好的习惯。
如果在平时的学习中总是采取逐词逐句、甚至句句翻译成汉语的细读形式,在考试的有限时间内,很可能没有够的时间读完试卷上的阅读材料。
正确的方式是先快速浏览文章的内容,了解大意。
在浏览时,注意发现主题句、关键句。
浏览后带着需要回答的问题再到文章中的相应部分查寻所需要的信息、事实、细节。
Sentence fragments:句子碎片:sentences are complete thoughts because they are have subjects and verbs and because they require no other elements to complete their meaning.句子是完整的主题有完整的主语和谓语,而且并不需要成分来补充它的意思。
When any one of these dependent units is punctuated with a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop (period,exclamation point,or question mark)at the end,it is called a sentence fragment.当任何一个非独立成分被句首大写字母强调并且末尾有一个停顿(句号,感叹号,问号),他被称为句子片段A sentence fragment can be corrected in various ways:句子碎片可以用多种不同的方法修正a. by joining it to another sentence 把它加入进另一个句子b. by supplying a subject and a predicate提供一个主语和谓语c. by rewriting the passage in which it occurs在不改变句意的范围内重写Any verbless or subjectless fragment of a sentence ,whether you can classify it or not,should not be allowed to stand as a sentence.任何没有主语或谓语的句子碎片,不管是否分类,都不应该当做句子。
