我們先看一篇作文:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an open letter on behalf of the student union asking people to give help to a student who is seriously ill. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below: 對病人的簡單介紹:目前的病情和家庭情況人 目前的困難:無法繼續(xù)承擔(dān)醫(yī)療費(fèi)用,需要護(hù)理
先拋開這篇文章,我們來看看新概念三冊是如何提高我們寫作能力的。新概念三冊通過對各類精美句式的講解和練習(xí),著力把學(xué)員的句型運(yùn)用能力提升到一個(gè)新的高度。課文中的優(yōu)秀句式層出不窮,“鉆石句型”貫穿于整本書。新概念教導(dǎo)學(xué)生文不厭讀,要求熟讀甚至背誦這些鉆石句型,存于腦海之中。冰凍三尺非一日之寒,誦讀背記的過程就是積累的過程,所謂厚積而薄發(fā),腦中藏書萬卷,方可下筆如神。
請看下面一篇考試范文:
Here is a story of an unfortunate boy. Jack, an undergraduate of English College, has long been assailed by grave disease. He was born in a miserable family where life is a perpetual struggle against poverty. His father works as a dustman with narrow wages, virtually the only source of income of the family. Life is wretched indeed. As if this were not enough to reduce them to tears, the father had his both legs broken some time ago and should be confined to bed. The loss of job makes the whole family faced with even more economic odds. Normal living proves to be a problem, not to mention the huge sums of medical expenses. Chances that Jack will be fully recovered are remote considering the lack of money and the absence of nursing staff. So, we shouldn’t let the misfortune pass unnoticed. On behalf of the student union, I would like to ask for your help. Your kindness and generosity will put the family out of trouble. Whoever will make donations is requested to dial 315. Profound thanks from Student Union. 上面這篇文章在四六級考試中得了高分,細(xì)細(xì)分析一下,作者不是新概念的學(xué)員,起碼也涉獵過新概念的文章,因?yàn)槲恼轮泻芏嗑湫投伎梢栽谛赂拍钊齼灾姓业剿圃嘧R(shí)的影子:
1. sb has long been assailed by …
說某人長期怎么樣,如果再照搬以前的詞組for a long time,已經(jīng)有點(diǎn)落伍啦。新概念三冊The first calendar 《最早的日歷》中給我們提供了一個(gè)很好的版本:Historians have long been puzzled by……課堂上老師一定會(huì)把這個(gè)句型分析擴(kuò)展運(yùn)用。另外,講到一個(gè)人遭受不幸,如果你脫口還是suffer,那只能停留在初級水平。新概念三冊又推出一個(gè)“黃金單詞”,assail表示長期折磨一個(gè)人。這樣一來,恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~組和“黃金單詞”巧妙的組合,優(yōu)美的句子便一揮而就了!
2. 講到家庭條件差,生活困苦不堪,這里的life is a perpetual struggle against poverty便是新概念三冊中The power of the press《新聞報(bào)道的威力》里面的原句,這可不是抄襲,大家放心大膽地用。當(dāng)然,最好能夠舉一反三,自己照著句子或短語結(jié)構(gòu)創(chuàng)造一些新的句子或短語,用在自己的文章中,更能起到出其不意的效果。
3.His father works as a dustman with narrow wages, virtually the only source of income of the family. 父親做的是清潔工作,很多同學(xué)往往會(huì)說,his father is a dustman,而熟悉新概念三冊的學(xué)生就會(huì)很自然想到運(yùn)用work as這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu),雖然語義上沒有差別,但對卻是英語功底的體現(xiàn),對閱卷老師的心理也會(huì)有微秒的影響。關(guān)于“父親的微薄工資幾乎是家里惟一的經(jīng)濟(jì)來源”一句中的后半句,范文也運(yùn)用了新概念三冊Illusions of pastoral peace《寧靜田園生活的遐想》一文中某句話的翻版: the long and friendless winter evenings in front of the TV——virtually the only form of entertainment(在電視機(jī)前的漫長寂寞的冬夜——電視是惟一的娛樂形式)。
4.家里條件已經(jīng)很差了。但屋漏偏逢連夜雨,惟一的經(jīng)濟(jì)來源——父親把腳摔斷了,丟了工作,失去了收入。當(dāng)你為“好像這情況還不夠糟” 英文怎么表達(dá)而犯愁的時(shí)候,想用 What is worse或to make matters worse,又覺得這些是被人無數(shù)次用過的陳詞濫調(diào);當(dāng)你為不知如何用優(yōu)美的英語表達(dá)“那戶人家將面對更加嚴(yán)峻的經(jīng)濟(jì)問題”,有些甚至同學(xué)很可能犯語法錯(cuò)誤,寫下“the family will face even more serious problems”,那么新概念三冊中有沒有這樣的例句呢?答案是肯定的,As if this were not enough to reduce sb to tears以及sb is faced with even more pressing economic odds 都是新概念三冊文章中的原話。
5.再來看第一段最后一句:Chances that Jack will be fully recovered are remote considering the lack of money and the absence of nursing staff。說到Jack盡快回復(fù)的可能性很小。如果用It is less likely that 當(dāng)然可以,但這個(gè)句型缺乏新意,難以贏得閱卷老師的青睞。而新概念三冊Collecting《收藏》一文中有這么一句話:Chances that she will ever be able to afford such purchases are remote.學(xué)過這么一個(gè)經(jīng)典句型(Chances that ……are remote …的希望很渺茫)。
6.第二段第一句:we shouldn’t let the tragedy pass unnoticed。一句簡單的話足以體現(xiàn)考生對英語語言的駕馭能力。其中也運(yùn)用了新概念三冊中一個(gè)語法難點(diǎn),同樣也是鉆石句型。用形容詞unnoticed賓語補(bǔ)足語。新概念三冊的書本中有很多類似這樣的句型: The Ombudsman’s prompt action at once put an end to an unpleasant practice which might have gone unnoticed.(司法特派員及時(shí)采取行動(dòng)迅速制止了這一起不愉快的事件,不然這件事很可能因?yàn)闆]有得到人們注意而不了了之。)
They fly uninvited into our rooms (他們未經(jīng)邀請便飛到我們的房間里)。
很多同學(xué)在四六級考試時(shí)會(huì)有“書到用時(shí)方恨少”的感覺,而這種感覺在作文時(shí)尤其強(qiáng)烈,搜腸刮肚,絞盡腦汁也湊不出一篇滿意的文章,或是句式簡單乏味,或是語法錯(cuò)誤百出。而如果你掌握并熟背了新概念三冊課文中的句型,情況就會(huì)大有改觀,輕松地跳出短句和簡單句的圈子,讓思維縱橫馳騁,多種句式信手拈來,在文章中交相輝映,相得益彰。
洋洋灑灑寫了這么多,只想說明英語知識(shí)的相通性,說明新概念教材的博大精深。盡管四六級考試與新概念教學(xué)表面上不相關(guān)聯(lián),但通過以上分析,相信大家也能有所感悟。四六級考試中一道道看似陌生的題目,里面卻滲透著許多新概念的細(xì)節(jié)精華。來過新概念三冊課堂,細(xì)細(xì)品味過新概念三冊的同學(xué)們必定會(huì)有一種似是故人來的親切感。
