3、见错误1不能准确抓住要点。 概要写作的重点是能概括出要点, 如果不能抓住要点,句子写得再好,也不能得分。 因此,抓住要点是关键。 抓准要点,除了要读懂文章的主旨、了解文章的结构,还要特别注意一些标志词,如小标题、高频词等。2随意打乱文章的结构。 概要写作一般会提供结构比较清晰的文章。 而写概要的时候,一般都是按照文章的结构去概括要点。 不要轻易打乱文章的结构。3各个要点的独立性不够。 考试说明对要点的独立性有明确的要求。 因此,我们对要点的陈述也要相对独立,一般不要把几个要点放到一个句子中。4照抄原文中的句子。 概要写作的独立性除了各个要点的独立之外,其实还要求用自己的语言去概括文章,不能直接
4、照抄原文的句子。 因此,切记要用自己的语言来概括要点。一、在写作时,主要考虑以下内容:1概括的准确性概要应包括原文中的主要事实,略去不必要的细节。安排好篇幅的比例,概要应同原文保持协调,即用较多的文字写重要内容,用较少的文字写次要内容。开篇用主题句清楚明白地告诉读者文章的写作目的,主题句的质量决定概括的成败。2语言的规范性尽量使用短句,慎用长难句。多使用概括性词语,少用具体描述性词语。不排斥用原文的某些词句,但不要照搬原文的句子,如果不能完全用自己的语言来表达,至少要对原文句子作一些同义词替换,如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。3篇章的连贯性理解准确,涵盖全部要点,完全使用自己的语言,准确使用相
5、应的语法结构和词汇,得分档次相应比较高;相反,如果概要写作部分出现两句以上整句抄自原文现象,得分档次将会大大降低;所写内容与所提供内容无关则不得分。所写的文章要有一个明确的主题贯穿全文,在组织材料时要有明晰的思路。此外,层次要分明,有条理;衔接过渡要自然。在备考的过程中进行写提纲的训练有助于该项能力的提高。二、分体裁个个击破1记叙文:“要素串联法”记叙文主要是记叙所发生的事情和经历。常见的形式有:故事、日记、新闻报道、游记等。记叙文通常要交代清楚六要素的内容,即when,where,who,what,how,why(时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、结果),给读者一个内容完整、细节清晰的故事。事情
6、的叙述通常按时间的顺序叙述,让读者易于把握所叙述内容之间的内在关联。我们必须抓住记叙文的写作特点或思路,从而更好地理解文章主题,概括出比较中肯的短文中心大意,用最简练的语言来说明故事讲述了什么。 其概要模板为:(1)点明写作目的类:The writer tells us.(主题)by showing us an example of.,who/which.(故事情节)(2)作者经历类:In the passage,the writer mainly tells us his experience of doing.,which.(3)他人经历类:This passage is mainly a
7、bout sb.s experience of doing.2议论文:“主题概括法”议论文通常用来讲明道理、议论是非、提出观点和看法。作者先正面或反面提出论点,然后用事实论证论点,最后以重申论点或提出建议的方式得出结论。议论文的主题句通常在首段或尾段,或者在各段的首句或尾句。该概述的过程中尽可能客观简要地转述阅读材料的观点。可以采用如下方法概括:The writer of this article thinks that.或者你认为该材料的观点代表了一些人的思想,就可以说Some people think.,还可以从中立的角度或用“无人称”的方式来说The article gives the
8、view that.。常用以下句式开头: (1)The passage mainly tells us (talks about).(2)We can know from the passage.(3)As far as the author is concerned.3说明文、应用文:“段意合并法”说明性短文,必须用概括性的文字来说明某种现象,常用以下句式开头: (1)It is stated in the article that.(2)According to the passage,the author states that.说明文的概括结构为:phenomenon/problemr
9、easonsolution (cause and effect),introduction of an object (how it is made,how it is used,how it may change,what makes it new or significant)(3)对于说明性或描述性短文,可以用概括性文字说明某一现象。其模板为:现象揭示类:This article points out the common phenomenon(主题),which.(补充解释)利弊对比类:The article compares the disadvantages/benefits of
10、 A and BA.while B.研究显示类:The study reveals(揭露) that.The purpose of the report is to show that.三、写作步骤1弄清要求,有的放矢。概要写作是写全文的概要,不是写某一部分的概要,也不是单独就某些问题写出要点。2细读原文,确定主题句。首先要仔细阅读短文,确定文章的主题句,掌握文章主旨和结构,明确各段的大意。主题句一般在段首。没有主题句的需要自己组合。3寻找关键词,列出原文要点。分析主题句意义,确定关键词,关键词一般体现为名词、形容词,关键词的数目决定了概括的信息浓度。分析原文的内容和结构,将内容分项扼要表述并
11、注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。1 (20196月浙江)Parents everywhere praise their kids.Jenn Berman,author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids,says, “Weve gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when parents tended to be more strict.” By giving kids a lot of praise,parents think
12、 theyre building their childrens confidence,when,in fact,it may be just the opposite.Too much praise can backfire and,when given in a way thats insincere,make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents praise has put them.Still,dont go
13、too far in the other direction.Not giving enough praise can be just as damaging as giving too much.Kids will feel like theyre not good enough or that you dont care and,as a result,may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments.So what is the right amount of praise? Experts say that the qu
14、ality of praise is more important than the quantity.If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome,you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward.“We should especially recognize our childrens efforts to push themselves and work hard to achieve a g
15、oal,” says Donahue,author of Parenting Without Fear: Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What Really Matters.“One thing to remember is that its the process not the end product that matters.”Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team.But if hes out there every day and playing hard,you
16、 should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses.Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when he/she has worked hard to clean the yard,cook dinner,or finish a book report.But whatever it is,praise should be given on a casebycase basis and be
17、 proportionate(相称的) to the amount of effort your child has put into it.思路点拨文章体裁:议论文时态:一般现在时为主文章大意: 父母对孩子的过多表扬或过少都会带来不好的影响,恰当的表扬应着重表扬孩子做事过程中的努力而非结果,并建立在实际情况的基础上。段落大意:1现在的父母表扬孩子过多,会带来负面的影响,如孩子害怕尝试新事物或者害怕达不到父母的高期待等。2过少的表扬也是有害的,会让孩子觉得自己不够好,没有得到父母的关心或觉得自己的努力没有意义。3正确的方式应该是注重赞美的质量而不是数量,注重孩子努力的过程而非结果。4表扬要适当
18、,要根据实际情况。变式表达要点1(1)Giving children too much praise can be bad for them.(概括明了)(2)Parents praise their kids to build their confidence but giving them a lot of praise may be just the opposite.(交代目的和反作用)要点2(1)Not praising them is also harmful,which makes them not try hard.(定语从句,简洁)(2)Kids will lose hear
19、t if not praised enough.(状语从句、省略句,简单明了)要点3(1)We should pay more attention to the quality of praise rather than the quantity,and we should remember the process is more important than the end.(并列句,交代两个方面的问题)(2)Actually,what really matters is the quality rather than the quantity of praise,which should
20、be sincere and concentrate on the process instead of the result.(actually的使用,使前后衔接紧凑)要点4(1) Praising children appropriately is important,which can encourage and recognize them.(which定语从句说明目的)(2) In a word,praising children should be based on the facts and their efforts,with the purpose of encouragin

22、ise,which should be sincere and concentrate on process instead of result.(要点3) Praise offers encouragement and recognition,while it should be based on the fact and correspond with the effort.(要点4)2 (201811月浙江)Its a really good idea to visit colleges before you apply because their websites can all st

24、to visit college campuses,and it can also be pricey if the schools you are applying to happen to be more than a car ride away.But keep in mind that you are making a decision about the next four years of your life,and do all the research you can to make sure you are making the right one.Theres no exc
25、use not to visit the schools in your local area.In fact,a lot of college applications even ask if you have visited campus,and obviously,if you live across the country that wont be as much of a possibility,but if you live nearby,go check it out!If campus visits arent going to happen before you apply,
26、at the very least you should find some time between applying and getting your acceptance letters to visit the schools youd like to attend.It can save you a lot of heartache if you rule out now the things that you dont like about certain campuses,things that you wouldnt know unless you actually visit
27、.Now,if time and money are making it impossible,then check out the online college fairs at CollegeWeekLive.Its a chance to chat online with admissions officers,students,and college counselors(顾问),and it wont cost you a penny!

28、college fair cant take the place of an actual campus visit,it can be a very useful tool that along with all your other research will help you make an informed decision about which colleges or universities youd like to attend.思路点拨文章体裁:议论文时态:一般现在时为主文章大意: 上大学之前需要全面地了解你所感兴趣的学校,文章介绍了几种了解大学的途径。段落大意:1在上哪所大
29、学之前需要全面地了解你所感兴趣的学校,实地考察是了解学校的最好途径。2如果有可能,尽量去参观一下当地的大学校园。3倘若实在没有时间在申请之前去看,那么也要在提交申请和接到录取通知书这段时间之间去了解你想去的学校。4当你既没有时间也没有财力的时候,上网浏览网上大学博览会也是一个不错的选择。变式表达要点1(1) Its good to visit colleges before you apply.(概括简洁明了)(2)There is no doubt that it is beneficial for you to visit colleges before applying.(there i

40、oth educational and informative.”。(2)根据第二段首句“For kids of your age,all you need is an interest in coins,a sharp eye,and a box to put them in.”可知,对于与你年龄相仿的孩子来说,需要具备对硬币的兴趣、敏锐的观察力和存放硬币的盒子。 (3)根据第三段的首句“The first you will need to do is to visit your local hobby shop.”可知,收集硬币首先要去当地的业余爱好者商店看看。(4)根据第四段中的“You
41、 can collect them separately,or buy precollected sets of(几套) Lincoln pennies(便士),Mercury dimes(硬币),coins from foreign lands”可知,在收集了一些硬币之后,要把它们分类整理。(5)由第五段可知,你可以通过去硬币展或者是和有同样爱好的家人、朋友交换来增加你的收藏。(6)最后一段告诉我们,收藏完成后,要走出去和别人分享成功的快乐。这是一篇说明文,文章开篇便点题,说明硬币收集的意义,然后从6个方面分6步进行了详细的介绍。由于论点较多,在概括时要注意连接成分的使用。2得分词句:a s
