Tricks for CET-4 and CET-6 writing

Universal formula at the beginning

1. Universal formula 1 at the beginning: famous quotes

Someone asked, "I don't remember famous quotes, what should I do? Especially English famous quotes?" It's easy to do: Editor!

Principle: Many of the things we see are created, including the articles we admire, so even if you edit them, they must sound reasonable! And maybe we will be celebrities in the future! Right?

Classic sentence pattern:

A proberb says, “You are only young once.” (applicable to memorized famous quotes)

It goes without saying that we cannot be young forever. (Applicable to self-composed quotes)

More classic sentence patterns:

As knows, No one can deny that everyone…

2． Universal formula 2 at the beginning: Numerical statistics

Principle: To be more convincing, you should use actual numbers to illustrate.

In principle, ten should not appear in false numbers in argumentative essays, but during the exam, I don’t care about three, seven, twenty-one, but it doesn’t matter if I edit it. As long as I have something to write, everything will be fine. So you might as well try the following sentence pattern:

According to a recent survey, about 78.9 of the college students wanted to further their study after their graduation.

It seems that this number is Wen Zou Zou Yes, in fact, they are all made up. We can make up any of the following questions like this:

Honesty: According to a recent statistical survey, 78% of the reasons why college students ask for leave from their teachers are false. .

Travel by Bike: According to a recent statistical survey, 85% of people’s preferred means of transportation when traveling short distances is bicycles.

Youth: According to a recent statistical survey, at a certain university, 70% of students’ spare time is spent on leisure and entertainment.

Five-day Work Week Better than Six-day Work?: According to a recent statistical survey, 98% of people agree with five-day work week.

More sentence patterns:

A recent statistics shows that…

The universal formula at the end

1. The universal formula at the end: Such a conclusion

That’s it. After all, I have to summarize it. I believe you all have had this experience. The leader made a long speech, and finally said something like "in summary" in the end. We will stop immediately. Take a break and wait for the leader to say the closing words.

In other words, if you have a good beginning, you must also have a wonderful ending that makes readers’ eyes light up. In this way, you can get high scores! For example, in the following example:

Obviously (this is a transitional phrase), we can draw the conclusion that good manners arise from politeness and respect for others.

If it is difficult for the reader to "obviously" "See it", but it doesn't matter, just think that the reader's vision is too shallow!

More transition phrases:

to sum up, in conclusion, in brief, on account of this, thus

More sentence patterns:

Thus, it can be concluded that…, Therefore, we can find that…

2. Universal formula two at the end: Such a suggestion

If "such a conclusion" is the most useless nonsense at the end, then "such a suggestion" should be the most valuable nonsense, because although it is also nonsense here, it is A very classic subjunctive mood sentence pattern is used. Pull!

Obviously, it is high time that we took some measures to solve the problem.

The subjunctive mood here is very classic, because the examiner often tests this sentence pattern, and if If we write it ourselves, what do you think the examiner will think?

More sentence patterns:

Accordingly, I recommend that some measures be taken.

Consequently, to solve the problem, some measures should be taken.

The "Seven Basic Principles" of Writing

1. The Principle of Long and Short Sentences

You have to work one sentence at a time, and it is exhausting to ask readers to read long sentences! Writing a short and pithy sentence, on the contrary, can be the finishing touch. And if we put short sentences at the beginning or end of the paragraph, we can also reveal the theme:

As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.

So it can be seen that it is not pleasant to combine long and short sentences, with ups and downs? keep in mind!

Strongly recommended: use one long and one short paragraph in the first paragraph (beginning) of the article, and use long first and then short; in the main part of the article, first use a short sentence to explain the main meaning, and then elaborate on several When making key points, use the form of sentence groups that are short first and then long, which will definitely make the main part more brilliant! Generally, it is enough to use one long and one short ending at the end of the article.

2. Topic Sentence Principles

A country has its own king, every family has its own master, and articles must also have their own masters.

Otherwise, it will give people the feeling of "leaderless"! I believe that you have read some shabby literature and deliberately hid the subject in the article. As a result, we are confused! I don’t know what to say! Therefore, I advise you to write a topic sentence and place it at the beginning (insurance type) or at the end of the article so that readers can clearly understand that everything will be safe and sound!

Special tip: Hiding the subject sentence is risky!

To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam (topic sentence). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.

3. The One, Two, Three Principle

Leaders’ speeches are always the first part, the first point, the second point, the third point, the second part, the first point… so wordy. But after all, it is still clear. When the examiners read the article, they must use these key "tags" to determine whether your article has a clear structure and natural order. The solution is very simple, just add any of the following vocabulary words to a few of your key points.

1) first, second, third, last (not recommended, reason: vulgarity)

2) firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally (not recommended, reason: vulgarity)

p>

3) the first, the second, the third, the last (not recommended, reason: vulgarity)

4) in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly (not recommended, reason: vulgar)

5) to begin with, then, furthermore, finally (strongly recommended)

6) to start with, next, in addition, finally (strongly recommended)

7) first and foremost, besides, last but not least (strongly recommended)

8) most important of all, moreover, finally

9) on the one hand, on the other hand (applicable to two points)

10) for one thing, for another thing (applicable to two points)

Suggestion: Not only should you pay attention when writing, but you should also be clear when speaking!

4. Phrase Priority Principle

When writing, especially during exams, if you use phrases, there are two benefits: First, using phrases will add highlights to the article. If the teacher When people see that your article is too simple and they don't see a phrase they don't know, they will inevitably look down upon you. On the contrary, if you find the bright spots - exciting phrases, then your article will definitely get a high score.

Second, what should I do if my thinking is short-circuited at a critical moment and I have to make up the word count? Using phrases is one way to do it! For example:

I cannot bear it.

It can be expressed in phrases: I cannot put up with it.

I want it.

Can be expressed in phrases: I am looking forward to it.

In this way, the number of words is significantly increased and the expression is more accurate.

5. The principle of more reality and less fiction

The reason is very simple. When writing an article, you should still write some practical things, not empty words. This requires that more content words and less function words be used. The function words I am talking about here refer to those larger words. For example, when we say something is very good, we should not use empty words like nice, but should use some image words such as generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital and so on. Another example:

To walk out of the room, the general word is: walk out of the room

But when a thief leaves the room, he should say: slip out of the room

Miss When walking out of the room, you should say: sail out of the room

When a child walks out of the room, you should say: dance out of the room

When an elderly person walks out of the room, you should say: stagger out of the room

So use more content words and less function words, and your article will shine!

6. Principles of variable sentence patterns

1) Addition (concatenation)

Everyone wants to write long sentences, like a foreigner, but I'm just afraid of making mistakes. What should I do? The safest way to write long sentences is these. You can add "and" between any sentences, but it is best if the sentences before and after are related in sequence or parallel relationship. For example:

I enjoy music and he is fond of playing guitar.

If the two are juxtaposed, we can use a super sentence pattern:

Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm.

Other phrases can be used: besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover

2) Turning around (beating around the bush)

When criticizing someone’s shortcomings, we are always used to talking about his strengths in a roundabout way, and then go to the main topic, and then talk about the shortcomings. Although this method is a bit insidious, it is still relatively easy after all. Make people accept it. Therefore, when we talk, we only need to talk some nonsense before the main points, and pay attention to using a special word between the two.

The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition.

The coat was thin, but it was warm.

More phrases:

Despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding

3) Cause and effect (so, so, so)

Yesterday on the street I saw a girl, and then I took the initiative to strike up a conversation, and then we went to a coffee shop, and then we met, and then we became friends... It can be seen that when telling stories, we always have to pursue the order, what comes first, what comes after, so then this Words have become common. In fact, this word means sequence or cause and effect!

The snow began to fall, so we went home.

More phrases:

then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that

4) Imbalance sentence (top-heavy, or top-heavy, or top-heavy)

Some people have big heads and small bodies, or some people have small heads and big bodies, Although we don't want to look like this, if it does, it will definitely attract other people's attention. If such a sentence appears in the article, it will make the examiner see that your sentence is different. In fact, it is a variation of subject clause, predicative clause, and object clause.

Example: This is what I can do.

Whether he can go with us or not is not sure.

The same subject, object, and predicate can Change it to the following complex components:

When to go, Why he goes away...

5) Additional (unnecessary)

If you have a wife, you will always In such a situation, when you are talking about someone again, she will interject and say, I saw him yesterday; or, it is so-and-so. If your wife's words are inserted into our words, it will be an attributive clause and Appositive clause or parenthesis.

The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine.

I don't enjoy that book you are reading.

Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going.

In fact, it is very simple. Appositive - deleting the thing to be explained does not affect the composition of the entire sentence; attributive clause - borrowing the previous keywords and using them to re-form a sentence Insert it, but the who or that keyword must come immediately before the antecedent.

6) Parallelism (overwhelming sentences)

The most attractive thing in literary works is this. If you have to make your article more exciting, then I hope you quote a Parallel sentences one by one, couplets one by one, infinitives one by one, words one by one, and phrases one by one. Such expressions will make the article overwhelming!

Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you.

Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides.

We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (Magnificent)

If you want to write such a magnificent sentence, you must use parallelism!

7. The principle of challenging the limit

Since it is challenging the limit, it must be difficult, but it is not unattainable!

Principle: In students’ articles, it is rare to find sentences such as independent nominative case. In fact, it is very simple. You only need to spend 5 minutes to read it. It is a special form of participle. , the participle requires the subject to be consistent, but the independent nominative case does not.

For example:

The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.

Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.

If you can come up with sentences like this, you won’t get a high score!

Three major killer features of the main paragraph of the article

1. Give examples

If your thinking is short-circuited, give examples! Make a point and give an example! Propose a plan and give examples! Moreover, it is also the best way for us to reveal a point of view. In any case, as long as we cannot continue the article, no matter what, just give examples!

In order to attract more customers, advertisers have adopted every possible stimulative factor in making ads, such as sound, light, colours, cartoon films and human performance. For instance, to advertise a certain food, advertisers will ask an actor or actress to sit at a table and devour the seemingly delicious food while they fime him or her.

More sentence patterns:

To take … as an example, One example is..., Another example is..., for example

2. Comparison

Method: After writing a key point, compare with similar ones; after writing another key point, compare again On the contrary;

There are no same fingerprints, no same leaves, and no same articles in the world. Only through comparison can you find the similarities and differences between the two (through comparison). contrast). Here are some phrases:

Similar comparison:

in comparison, likewise, similarly, in the same manner

Opposite comparison:

on the other hand, conversely, whereas, while, instead, nevertheless, in contrast, on the contrary, compared with..., ...

3. In other words

There is nothing to say, You can say it in another sentence to add more words to your article, or as Wen Zou Zou said, to allow readers to fully understand your point of view.

In fact, it is repeated over and over again! The following sentence is actually just three words: I love you!

I am enthusiastic about you. That is to say, I love you.

I am wild about you. In other words, I have fallen in love with you.

Or the example we gave above:

I cannot bear it.

It can be expressed in phrases: I cannot put up with it.

So you can say: I cannot bear it. That is to say, I cannot put up with it or I am fed up with it.

More Multiple phrases:

in more difficult language, in simpler words, put it more simply
