2013年12月四六级考试在即,新东方在线网络课堂四六级辅导团队老师分析,13年12月最有可能考的功能段落应该是:现象、建议、意义和原因;次之为危害和观点对比。无论考何种形式作文,最简易的处理方式是:有汉语提纲则按照汉语提纲写相应的功能段落,若无汉语提纲则按照话题和内容要求直接写相应的功能表达或自己列出基本提纲再写相应功能表达!图表和图画、书信亦可如此!
近年四六级跑题率很高,审题是关键,建议关注1 体裁+话题;2内容要求:英文提示/汉语提纲;3字数。如13年6月六级“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.” 应关注四类词:名动形副,如earth, satisfy, man, greed等,对应写现象、意义、建议或危害。以下作文为新东方在线网络课堂四六级老师给出的指导范文,希望广大考生认真学习参考。
