2013年6月15日,大学英语四六级考试,又一次顺利的在中国的各大高校举行。在这一次的考试之中,需要我们有其注意的便是考试之中写作题目的形式变化。
在四级考试之中,写作题目的出题方式,使用了英文题干和图片的混合型方式。这种形式上的变化,使得很多的学生仅仅将注意力放在了图片之上,这其实是考试命题人的一个有关于对于题目整体性理解的圈套,即如果考生没有整体性的认识,或者基础较差而没有英文题干的阅读能力,或者在考场上因紧张等原因没有去关注题干的英语提示,那么都会被图片之中的两人对话,或多人的对话内容,所吸引,进而导致话费大量时间和笔墨去描述图片中的具体内容。而这种对于图片内容详细性描述,在考试中其实是没有要求的——在英文的题干部分,有着明确的“brief”的描述要求,所以可说,这种文章的设置,是有其特点和有一定的圈套性的。
而在六级考试中,写作的出题方式却又回归到了2011年考试时的全英文提示与名人名言引用相结合的出题方式。这种出题方式之所以说其在形式上有所变化,主要原因在于,这种六级与四级不一致的出题方式,改变了多年以来四级和六级写作考试命题的一致性。四级和六级的作文的出题方式在过去的多年考试中一直存在着一致性,即,如果四级为图片,则六级往往也为图片,比如2012年12月四级和六级题都是使用图片和题干结合的方式,如果四级为纯英文提示,则六级也是,比如2011年12月。
个人认为,之所会有这样的出题形式上的变化,主要原因就在于,教育部的相关考试部门对于四六级英语考试的重要性的再次看中,以及对于“反作弊”和“反压题”的强烈决心。
即教育部门的相关部门,在对于试题的命制过程中,有意的打破了历年的就有常规,打破了传统的一致性的考察,使得很多“猜题”的预测成为了空谈,也使得那些平时学习不足,或者是练习不够充分的学生能够依靠非自身因素得到飞跃性提升的可能性降到了最低。
面对此转变,笔者作为一名奋斗在教学一线的教师,建议如下:
1. 切实的加强对于英语的基础内容的学习,即做好单词的积累和语法的总结;
2. 利用好课堂教学中教师所提供的写作的资料,如模板等内容,但是利用不等于照抄,而是在与文章结合的基础上,在切合主题的基础上实现考试与日常准备的结合。
以下的模板与四级真题结合的对比,希望能够给同学们未来的复习一些指引。

该模板,与2013年四级写作真题中,有关于“the importance of doing small things before undertaking something big”的主题结合,在经过一定的调整后,便可以写出一下范文:
As we can see from the picture,there are two persons, debating about the importance of doing small things before undertaking something big, who are a father and his son. Recently, the issue of the importance of doing small things has aroused wide concern among the public. Especially the young generation living in the big cities, they tend to do the big ones firstly, paying no attention to the fact that this behavior may pose underlying threat to their precious life and may even endanger others.
Does anyone claim the same attitude towards this issue?Definitely not,actually,opinions vary from person to person.Some maintain that the doing some big is beneficial to students.However,quite a few people hold the opposite opinion that the doing some big is detrimental to the youngsters, and they think that the merits of students’ doing some small things far outweigh its demerits.To my way of thinking,we should know the the importance that why we must do small things before we undertake something big. If we know the significance,we will choice the right way and do the right things.
the problem of doing big things firstly mentioned above will bound to get better and better if measures should be adopted before the thing get worse.What we should do is to encourage the merits and diminish the demerits to the least extent. It is high time that all of us ,parents,educators,and the authorities, make combined efforts to let young men know the importance of doing small things before undertaking something big .With these measures taken, it is reasonable for us to believe that this problem can be perfectly solved in the near future.
以上的模板与真题的结合只是我们面对应试一点小小手段,希望同学们理解其内在并且进一步提升自己的英语,最终学业有成,前途辉煌!
