二、写作应试技巧点拨

　　写作是作者利用自己所具备的知识来表达观点和情感的一种复杂过程，深受作者自身的知识结构、所处环境和情感等主客观因素的影响，应该是一种主动的、有感而发的自然过程，并没有固定的规律和方法可循。但是，作为一种考试形式，作文却是一种被动的(固定题目或范围的写作)主动表达过程，有其自身的规律性和写作技巧，尤其是四、六级英语作文，它有一定的写作套路和独特的固定模式，考生可以通过大量的模仿练习来自己的写作能力，丰富自己的写作技巧，顺利，为将来的进一步学习和工作奠定良好的写作基础。

　　四级作文基本上是作文或提纲作文，大部分是要求考生就某种现实现象或观点发表自己的看法，内容多是考生所熟悉的生活题材，所以写好四级作文有两个关键点：，根据英文的表达习惯来安排写作结构;第二，用自己熟悉的英文词汇、句式和句型正确地写出自己的观点和看法。因此，这里按照起、承、转、合的结构安排，详细介绍一些写作中常用的重点关联词语、词汇、句式及句型。

　　(一)起

　　起，就是开门见山地提出自己的观点和看法，文章的段和每段的句都是起，常会用到一些表示现在的时间状语，如：nowadays, presently, now, with the coming of…等。下面是一些常用的句型结构：

　　1.观点/现象型

　　(1)When it comes to…, different people hold different views. Some argue that…, while others believe that…

　　(2) Now people in growing numbers are beginning to believe that…

　　Limiting the Use of Disposable Plastic Bags

　　With its great advantage of convenience and endurance, disposable plastic bags are being widely used and have been an indispensable part of our daily life. We’ve been used to enjoying receiving free plastic bags offered by shop assistants, whenever we buy clothes, shoes and food at supermarkets or department stores. It seems that life without them is unimaginable for most of us.

　　However, they do cause a lot of problems, especially bringing severe damage to our environment. Not only do they affect the beautifulness of our living settings，but also do harm to our health，because they are made from some kind of chemical material which can not be disposable. Once we burn them or bury them, they may pollute our air or water heavily.

　　Thus, it’s imperative for us to take effective measures to limit the use of disposable plastic bags. Such actions are of great significance. It餾 helpful in saving natural resource besides making our cities’ faces clean and beautiful. Furthermore, it can help reduce harmful damage to environment and thus to our human’s health. In view of current bad effects made by using disposable plastic bags, we everyone are responsible for limiting their use. Only in this way can we have a bright future.
