专八英文写作策略
学英语会有一个定势，那就是背很偏很难的单词。但是了解那些“高级”单词固然必 要，可任何一门语言中应用最广泛的还是那些简单的基础词汇。我们自己看中文的时候会很痛恨拐弯抹角不说人话的作者，英文也一样。老外自己不喜欢看故作艰深 的东西，所以我们在写作的时候就放心大胆地使用简单词汇吧，只要意思表达清楚、有条理、语法通畅就是好文章。
What is good writing?
什么样的文章是好文章?
It depends on what country you’re from. We all know what’s considered “good writing” in our own country. We grow up immersedin the cadencesand sentence structure of the language we were born into, so we think, “That’s probably what every country considers good writing; they just use different words.” If only! I once asked a student from Cairo, “What kind of language is Arabic?” She said, “It’s all adjectives.”
这取决于你来自何处。我们都知道在自己的国家好文章是什么样的。我们从小到大，已经熟知我们 母语的抑扬顿挫和句子结构，于是我们认为，其他国家所谓的好文章也应该是这样，只不过用的语言不同。要是这样就好了!我有次问一个来自开罗的学生：“阿拉 伯语是什么样的语言?”她回答说：“都是形容词。”
Well, of course it’s not all adjectives, but I knew what she meant: it’s decorative, it’s ornate, it’s intentionally pleasing. But all those adjectives and all that decoration would be the ruin of any journalisttrying to write good English. No proverbs, please.
当然，不可能都是形容词，我知道她的意思：阿拉伯语是一种注重雕饰和阅读快感的语言。但是太多形容词和太多雕饰都不利于英文的新闻写作。千万别使用那么多谚语。
Spanish also comes with a heavy load of beautiful baggagethat will smotherany journalist writing in English.
西班牙语也一样，有太多 不利于英文写作的修饰语。
English is not as musical as Spanish, or Italian, or French, or as ornamentalas Arabic, or as vibrantas some of your native languages. But I’m hopelessly in love with English because it’s plain and it’s strong. It has a huge vocabulary of words that have precise shades of meaning; there’s no subject, however technical or complex, that can’t be made clear to any reader in good English—if it’s used right. Unfortunately, there are many ways of using it wrong. Those are the damaging habits I want to warn you about today.
英语不像西班牙语、意大利 语或者法语那样富有音律美，也不像阿拉伯语那样华丽，可能也不像你们的母语那样生动鲜活，但我就是无可救药地热爱英语，因为它平实有力，拥有海量意义鲜明 的词汇。描述一样事物，不管多高科技多复杂，在标准英语中读者都看懂——如果描述准确。不幸的是很多人都不能正确使用英语。以下就是我希望大家避免的一些错误习惯。
First, a little history. The English language is derived from two main sources. One is Latin, the other is Anglo-Saxon. The words derived from Latin are the enemy—they will strangleand suffocate everything you write. The Anglo-Saxon words will set you free.
首先，了解英语的历史。 英语来源于拉丁语和安格鲁-撒克逊语。来自拉丁语的.单词是我们的宿敌——它们会使你的写作佶屈聱牙。安格鲁-撒克逊语才能解开你的束缚。
How do those Latin words do their strangling and suffocating? In general they are long, pompousnouns that end in -ion—like implementation and maximization and communication (five syllableslong!)—or that end in -ent—like development and fulfillment. Those nouns express a vague concept or an abstract idea, not a specific action that we can picture. Here’s a typical sentence: “Priorto the implementation of the financial enhancement.” That means “Before we fixed our money problems.”
拉丁词语是怎么束缚你的 文体的呢?一般来说都是些长并华而不实的单词，以ion结尾，像implementation、maximization、communication(五个音节那么长!)或者以ent结尾，像development和fulfillment。这些词语描述的都是一个模糊或抽 象的概念，不是我们能够明确说明的行动。一个典型句子就是：财政强化计划实施之前。其实就是说：解决钱的问题之前。
Believe it or not, this is the language that people in authority in America routinely use. They think those long Latin words make them sound important. It no longer rains in America; your TV weather man will tell that you we’re experiencing a precipitation probability situation.
不管你信不信，这些就是 美国的高层人士常用语。他们认为这些长长的拉丁单词能突显自己的身份。美国已经没有下雨这一说了，天气预报员只会提到降水概率这个词。
I’m sure all of you, newly arrived in America, have already been driven crazy trying to figure out the instructions for ordering a cell phone or connecting your computer, or applying for a bank loan or a health insurance policy, and you assume that those of us who were born here can understand this stuff. I assure you that we don’t understand it either.
[文章部分]
Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,” and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance, US automobile company executives offered to reduce their own salaries before they asked their workers to take pay cuts, negotiations would probably take on a very different character.

People love to visit museums when traveling to new places. I think this is because museums tell them a lot about the culture of those places. Museums are also fun. It’s almost impossible to get bored in a museum. Every museum will have at least one thing of interest to somebody.
When visiting someplace new, you can find out about the culture of that place in many ways. You can go to a movie or a place of worship or a nightclub. Another option is to sit in the park and listen to the people around you. The easiest way to learn about a place’s culture, though, is by visiting its museums. Museums will show you the history of the place you’re visiting. They’ll show you what art the locals think is important.
If there aren’t any museums, that tells you something, too.
Museums are fun. Even if you’re not interested in art or history, there is always something to get your attention. Many museums now have what they call “hands-on” exhibits. These were originally designed to keep children occupied while their parents were looking at exhibits. However, museums have found that adults enjoy hands-on opportunities just as much as children. These exhibits have activities like pushing a button to hear more about what you’re looking at, creating your own work of art, or trying on clothes like those on the models in the museum.
People also enjoy visiting museums about unusual subjects. For instance, in my hometown there’s a museum devoted to the potato. This museum has art made out of potatoes. It also tells all about the history of the potato, and sells potato mementos like key chains and potato dolls.
People enjoy visiting this museum because it’s different. It’s not something they’d find in their hometown and the museum’s curator enjoy talking about the Great Potato.
Museums are popular because they are about us. They reflect our creations, our values, and our dreams. No matter who you are or what you like, somewhere there is a museum that will amaze and interest you.

Model Essay(范文)：
Nothing ventured. Nothing gained. If our greatexplorers and scientists did not live by this creed,where would we be? I think that we must all take risks in our lives, but these must becalculated risks. Like the great thinkers of our time, we must plan carefully, seize allopportunities, and reevaluate our plans.
There is no such thing as a chance occurrence. Columbus in his search for the Indies drewmaps, plotted his route carefully, and set out. Madam Curie worked diligently in her laboratoryrecording every aspect of her experiments. You need to have a careful plan so you canmeasure your success.
Even with a careful plan, changes occur. Columbus was looking for the Indies, but ended upin the Caribbean. Lewis and Clark were looking for a river passage west, but discovered muchmore. You have to be ready to take advantage of new things as they occur.
When things go against plan, you must be ready to change direction. Columbus didn't bringback spices from the East Indies, he brought back gold from the West Indies. It is important tosee the positive side of things. Make your mistakes work for you.
You will never succeed in life if you don't take chance. But before you start, you must plancarefully so you are ready to take advantage of every opportunity and turn mistakes to youradvantage.
永不放弃

“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.”These are wise words. One should never give up.There is always another opportunity, another goal, or another option.

The following year, Iran for president again. This time I gave speeches, called voters on the phone, and banded outbrochures. This time I won. Never give up. There is always another opportunity.

Once I wanted to talk with my friend. Unfortunately, his computer was down and I couldn't e-mail him. His phone line was busy so I couldn't call him. Mail would take too long so I couldn'twrite him. Since I really wanted to talk with him. I got on the bus and went across town to visithim. There is always another option.
If you give up, you might as well die. My advice is to always look for another opportunity,another goal, or another option. There is always something else. Don't give up.

专八模拟试题(写作篇1)
Some people think that they can learn better by themselves than with a teacher. Others think that it is always better to have a teacher. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons to develop your essay.
参考范文：
Most of us can learn how to do something simple on our own with just a set of instructions. However, to learn about something more complex, it’s always best to have a teacher. Teachers bring with them varied and useful backgrounds. They’ve been trained to teach individuals in different ways depending on their style. For instance, omen students learn better by discussing a topic. Others learn more by writing about it. Teachers can help students learn in the way that’s best of each student. A textbook or a manual can only give you one way of learning something. Plus they’re only as helpful as your ability to understand them. A good teacher can adapt her teaching to your needs.
Teachers help you focus on what you’re learning. If you’re learning something by yourself, it’s easy to become distracted, and go on to other activities. Teachers keep your attention on the subject. They also approach a subject logically, taking it one step at a time. On your own, it’s tempting to skip parts of the learning process you think you don’t need. That can binder your ability to really understand the subject.
Learning a subject on your own is a very narrow way of learning. You can only use the information you get from the textbook. With a teacher, you get the information in the written materials as well as the teacher’s own knowledge of the topic. Teachers can also provide extra materials to broaden the scope of what you’re learning. There’s nothing wrong with studying on your own, and a learner can always benefit from some quiet study. For the best possible learning, though, a good teacher is the biggest help you can have.

参考范文：
Some people believe that attending a college or university in a foreign country has many advantages. They think that attending a college or university abroad can help them learn more than they can from universities in their own country, especially when they go to a developed country where they can catch up with the pace of scientific and technical advance of the world from that country' s modern lab facilities. In addition, they can pick up the latest developments of the living language there more quickly, develop their ability of coping with the routine matters such as finding a part-time job, renting a house and helping with the house work, and learn many new things to widen their views and broaden their minds.
But some people don't agree to it. They think that attending a college or university in foreign country also has many disadvantages and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. They hold that students studying in a foreign country will have more difficulties in both life and study. The most serious problem is the language barriers. They have to spend much time learning a foreign language and even if they have learned the language, they still can' t understand thoroughly what the foreigners and teachers say just because of the unfamiliar culture background and social cu
1. 听写
听写是对听力与速记技能的双重考核。这6周的时间，定型自己的答题风格是最重要的。即，四次听力的任务重心，单词简写的程度，还有2分钟复习时间的利用。这6周确保自己每天做1次完整的听写练习。从第一遍的听大意，到第二、三次的意群听写，再到第四次的校对需要在完全符合考试流程的状态下进行。就连最后的2分钟复查时间也要给自己。以上四次听力任务重心的科学性是由实践得到的。轻易不要打破。但适度的变通、个性化还是可以接受的。例如第一次听，也可以在草稿上写写关键词，提醒自己文章的整体架构，但注意一旦一句没听懂，不要纠结，给自己机会在第二第三次中揣摩。
常见问题：
(1)英音、美音
很多考生平时训练的听力材料都是美音，导致自己对于英音有很强烈的不适应感。专八的听写或听力，英音或美音的可能性都为50%。所以，考生平时练习的时候要有意识培养自己对这两种语音的适应度。选择的音频，也要两种语音兼顾。
(2)全文没有标点符号
材料的标点需要考生自己根据意群去划分。考生一方面可以利用录音第二遍、第三遍的断句来判断，另一方面还要强化自己的英文标点意识。不要中、英标点混用。
(3)最后复查2分钟没有充分利用
部分同学会急于用这2分钟浏览听力考题，导致听写部分出现一些“小儿科”错误。单词的单复数、过去时态、has/is 的错用、主谓一致等都是在这2分钟内可以检查并更正的。另外一个要注意的就是，根据得分、扣分的规则，如果有一句话基本没听清楚，那放弃这句话去检查其它句子才是明智之举。听写是专四的第一题，它的成败在很大程度上决定了考生的心情。在这六周时间里，每个早晨从听写开始，培养自己的答题风格。
2. 听力
听力复习分为两部分：一部分是日常生活话题的对话或是陈述;另一部分是VOA和BBC的新闻听力。考生们在前4周可以专门进行日常生活话题的听力训练，每天保持40分钟左右的听力，复述出材料的中心含义，并与原文进行对比。这项训练主要是培养考生们对于关键句型的敏感度以及抓重点的能力，这种能力对于各种形式的听力理解都是有帮助的。后2周专门针对VOA或BBC的新闻听力，熟悉英语新闻的结构，以及用词特点。同样也可以采用复述大意或辅助真题练习的方式敦促练习。
常见问题：
预读真题
如果是以真题作为训练材料，那就一定要模拟真实的考试步骤。预读真题并明确各选项的区别对于抓重点听力特别有效。强烈建议大家一定要在平时的练习中养成这样的习惯。但注意平时的训练中也不能给自己无止境的时间来预读题干。而应该控制在5秒左右。
