四级写作应试策略
四级写作应试策略
大学英语四级考试(CET4)在进行改革后,写作部分仍是按照要求在30分钟内写出一篇120个单词短文,在分值比上也无变化,仍占15%(标准分106.5分),但在答题顺序调整至第一部分。
试卷上可能给出题目,或规定情景,或要求看图作文,或给出段首句要求续写,或给出关键词要求写成短文。
要求考生能正确表达思想,意义连贯,无重大语法错误。
写作的内容包括日常生活和一般常识。
一、评分原则
1.CET作文采取总体评分(GlobalScoring)方法。
阅卷人员就总的印象给出奖励分(RewardScores),而不是按语言点的错误数目扣分。
2.从内容和语言两个方面对作文进行综合评判。
内容和语言是一个统一体。
作文应表达题目所规定的内容,而内容要通过语言来表达。
要考虑作文是否切题,是否充分表达思想,也要考虑是否用英语清楚而适切地表达思想,也就要考虑语言上的错误是否造成理解上的障碍。
3.避免趋中倾向。
该给高分的给高分,包括满分;该给低分的给低分,包括0分。
一名阅卷人员在所评阅的全部作文试卷中不应只给中间的几种分数。
二、评分标准
1.作文满分为15分。
2.阅卷标准共分五等:
2分、5分、8分、11分及14分。
3.阅卷人员根据阅卷标准,对照样卷评分。
若认为与某一分(如8分)相似,即定为该分数(8分);若认为稍优或稍劣于该分数,则可以加一分(即9分)或减一分(即7分)。
但不得加减半分。
4.评分标准
2分——条理不清,思路紊乱,语言支离破碎或大部分句子均有错误,且多为严重错误。
5分——基本切题。
表达思想不清楚,连贯性差。
有较多的严重语言错误。
8分——基本切题。
有些地方表达思想不够清楚,文字勉强连贯;语言错误相当多,其中有一些是严重错误。
11分——切题。
表达思想清楚,文字连贯,但有少量语言错误。
14分——切题。
表达思想清楚,文字通顺,连贯性好。
基本上无语言错误,仅有个别小错。
字数不足应酌情扣分:
累计字数
90-99
80-89
70-79
60-69
50-59
少于49
