第一篇：英语写作概说（一）认真审阅题目，弄清任务要求

审题是写作过程中的第一个环节，但是往往也最容易被忽略，尤其是在水平考试中，绝大多数考生通过考前强化和突击，通过实战模拟对写作题目和类型都已经深度了解，所以审题环节往往在潜意识中完成，不被考生重视。

英语写作的审题环节，一般应当完成两个主要任务。（1） 题目给定的体裁要求是什么？让你写议论文、说明文还是应用文。（2） 题目给定的题材是什么？换句话说就是作文谈论的主要话题是什么—关于饭菜质量的投诉、关于英语考试的利弊、关于家庭轿车带来的麻烦、关于网恋给人的伤害等生活中的热点话题和校园学习的焦点问题。

写作过程中忌讳不审题，更忌讳审错题。好多考生担心自己立场错误，故意揣测考官并迎合考官心理，其实没有必要。但是如果考生误撞，把要求中的议论文，写成了散文故事，那肯定是个大失误；还有如果考生把三段论提纲的任何一点漏写，则一定要遭到扣分。由此可见，审题不怕观点偏差，最怕中心话题走样，文章体裁弄错。

下面以2000年6月份的大学英语四级考试写作题目为例，给大家示范审题过程的具体流程：

1．反复阅读题目，确保理解完整：
Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary? The first sentence has already been written for you. You should write at least 100 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:
（1） 很多人认为有必要举行英语口语考试，理由是 ……
（2） 也有人持不同意见, ……
（3） 我的看法和打算

2． 分解题目要点，力求任务明确：
（1） 题目是英语口语考试的必要性
（2） 结构要求是汉语给定的提纲（三段论）
（3） 长度要求是不少于100个英语单词
（4） 文章的体裁是议论文，重心应当在作者的看法和打算

3． 辨析给定提纲，确定写作重心
（1）正方观点是支持，重心是理由
（2）反方观点是不同意见，重心依然是理由
（3）作者自己的看法和打算，是全文的写作重心

Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test（CET）. Is it necessary to include such a test?

Many people who favor such a test contend that the oral competence of a candidate, in itself, is an indispensable part of his/her integrated language proficiency. A fair oral score will undoubtedly make his/her overall CET-4 scores more convincing and reliable. These people also maintain that an oral test, if properly administered, will certainly boost the ongoing reform of EFL in China. Additionally, they are quite optimistic about the prospect of introducing an oral test to the ever-booming CET-4 exam as both the financial and human resources have improved in recent years.

However, there are still many others who hold the opposite opinion on the grounds that an oral test may add to the candidate’s burden of preparation on the one hand, and provide a new route to wealth for many test-oriented training organizations on the other. They further their opposition with the argument that an oral test on a large scale is simply impractical, besides mentioning the subjective scores of various examiners.

As far as I am concerned, an oral test as a complement to the present CET-4 is necessary, even if we can only administer it as optional at the moment. Should I pass CET-4 with an excellent score, I would prepare for the challenge of an oral test.
