小作文即A 节作文的评分侧重点在于信息点的覆盖、内容的组织、语言的准确性、格式和语域的恰当。对语法结构和词汇多样性的要求将根据具体试题作调整。允许在作文中使用提示语中出现过的个别关键词或词组,但使用提示语中出现过的句子将被扣分。
要点一定要覆盖全!本文有两个要点:一是简要介绍夏令营活动内容;二是招募志愿者。
所以本篇文章必须包括以上两点!关于活动内容,大家可以写组织学习和体育比赛之类。关于招募志愿者,大家可以写志愿者要符合什么条件!
当然,这篇文章还是有不少陷阱的,比如日期的选择,学校的选择!不过跨考的谷老师认为:格式的问题重点一定是有没有的问题!
今年英语二的作文出题可谓是另辟蹊径!大作文如此,小作文亦是一样!从2010年设立英语二的试卷以来,连续五年的小作文都考到的是书信!而今年考查的是通知这种告示类文体!相信不仅是众多的考研同学们,就是不少老师都是始料未及的!
翻到《全国硕士研究生招生考试英语(二)考试大纲(非英语专业)》第2页,在考查目标里的写作部分,有以下的表述:
考生应能写不同类型的应用文,包括私人和公务信函、备忘录、报告等,还应能写一般描述性、叙述性和说明或议论性的文章。
再翻到第5页,在考试形式、考试内容与试卷结构的写作部分,有以下的表述:
该部分由A、B 两部分组成,主要考查考生的书面表达能力。共25分。
A节:考生根据所给情景写出一篇约100词(标点符号不计算在内)的应用性短文,包括私人和公务信函、备忘录、报告等。共10分。
B节:要求考生根据所规定的情景或给出的提纲,写出一篇150词左右的英语说明文或议论文。提供情景的形式为图画、图表或文字。共15分。
从对于小作文的要求来看,大纲上并未有对通知考查的出现。针对这一点,我们有理由替同学们感到愤怒!不过,英语一和英语二是紧密联系在一起的,相信同学们在准备英语二的时候肯定也做了英语一的真题,在写作这一部分,英语一在2010年就考了通知!
我在网上也找到了2010年的大纲中,在评价目标中:考生应能写不同类型的应用文,包括私人和公务信函、备忘录、摘要、报告等,以及一般描述性、叙述性、说明性或议论性的文章;在考试形式、考试内容与试卷结构中:考生根据所给情景写出一篇约100词(标点符号不计算在内)的应用性短文,包括私人和公务信函、备忘录、摘要、报告等。
从中也可以看出并没有对通知的要求,不过,从常识来看,通知应该是最基本和最常见的一种告示,是一种重要的应用文。

1) interpret the chart and
2) give your comments.
You should write about 150 words on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points).
作文解析:
今年英语二作文的题目比较好写,因为标题和图示非常清晰明白。图标显示了我国某市居民春节假期花销比例, 考生分析原因的话也会很简单。下面分三段简要地说一下这三段应该怎么写。
第一段主要是描述图表。图表一目了然,数量词百分比也是大家熟悉的词汇,主要是春节的翻译,可能有些同学不会写,为Spring Festival。表述数据时,图中有四组数据,由于字数的限制以及为了写作的便利可以突出最大比例的"新年礼物",其他两个"交通"和"聚会吃饭"可以选择其一来描述,注意百分比的表达方式。
第二段给出你的评论,主要写这种情况的原因。主要要结合图表描述的内容从两个方面写起。一方面为什么买新年礼物花费的钱最多, 另一方面为什么交通或者聚会会占到20%比例。
最后结尾段落可简要得出结论,这种现象并不奇怪,还将继续下去。
参考例文:
As is clearly reflected in the above pie chart, the proportion of money spent on various affairs demonstrates obvious differences during the Spring Festival in one city of China. According to the data given, the money spent on buying gifts for others takes a lion's share, accounting for 40%. While transportation takes away 20% of the whole proportion.
What triggers this phenomenon? It is not difficult to put forward several factors responsible for this phenomenon. To start with, with the ever-growing eagerness to keep up with others, oceans of folks intended to offer thicker and thicker red envelope to kids as gift money, which leads to the high proportion of our expenditure. What's more, due to the great urbanization, most Chinese residents move from their hometowns to work in big cities. In order to cover the long distance and enjoy the happy together with family members, a large amount of money is spent on transportation.
In view of the arguments above, we can conclude that the current phenomenon is of no surprise. And therefore, it can be predicted that buying gifts and transportation will still take up a large share in our expenditure during the Spring Festival.
