作文该怎样复习?
核心提示：
其实,我觉得写好作文,应该从真正的能力培养上着手,提高真实的能力.从这个角度去复习,不仅可以提高写作水平,还可以提高英语的语感,间接的提高阅读水平,完型填空的水平,翻译水平等.
作文的复习分为4个阶段.
第一个阶段,我觉得需要花半年的时间.也就是今年上半年的时间.主要是挑选好的论说性的文章(比如大学英语精读教材上的相关文章),翻译成中文.然后对照你翻译的中文再翻译成英文.把你的英文和原文对照,比较你的错误之处,纠正你的中式英语.这个过程很痛苦艰辛.但是是提高英语语感,写出地道的英语句子,打好作文的基础的唯一方法.这一阶段,估计英-汉-英翻译20篇左右的论说文章(每篇文章800字左右)就足够了。
这一阶段还要随时摘录好的优美句子和句型结构.并熟记.
第二阶段,是暑假阶段.这一阶段,开始向考研应试的阶段过渡.先看看<万能作文>或者是其它指导考研作文的辅导书,了解考场作文是怎么一回事,如何组段成文,如何起承转合等.同时进一步总结优美句子和句型结构.
第三个阶段,是下学期开学起到考试前一个月.这一阶段就大量的写作文.每周写1,2篇文章.这个写作文,也有讲究:把一篇作文写好罗,不要仍掉就不管了.把它保存好,过2天后再拿出来修改,然后誊好后再保存起来.以后有时间了再拿出来修改.如此反复的修改时,要思考怎样把优美句子使用到我的文章中来?怎样把好的句子结构使用在文章中?一篇文章经过几次修改后,把最后修改的文章誊写好,保存下来,以备冲刺阶段复习参考.
这个阶段,还有个重要的任务,就是从大量的你收集的优美句子和句型结构中,挑选出你最喜欢使用的40条句子.这40条要包括所有的起承转合,开头结尾,原因结构,立论的句型结构.并在写作练习中不断的使用这40条.
第四个阶段,就是考前一个月.这一阶段,把所有修改好的文章都拿出来看看.思考自己是如何把那些好的优美句子和句型结构用在文章中去的.进一步熟悉那40条句子.
