(二)能正确地表达思想
一篇好短文能使读者一目了然。文章的思路应清楚,逻辑性强,能准确表达作者的思想。请对比下面两段:
Have you a bike?Taking a bike is a good way,most people think.But in university it seems not as good as other places.Bikes are possible to be stolen now and then.Having a bike isn′t always good enough for us to buy one.
上段作者的思路紊乱不清,字里行间不仅有许多语病,而且也没能把思想表达清楚。读后仍不知作者在表达什么思想、观点,因而这样的段落只能得0分。请看下段:
It is very convenient to use bikes in China.Bikes don′need fuel,nor a garage or a large parking lot.Bikes can go through narrow streets and their prices are low.So bikes are the most popular vehicles in China today.
上段的作者以其简单的词汇、简洁的语言、清楚的思路正确地表达了思想,使读者观后能即刻领会作者的思想。
4.In recent years,fake goods have been discovered more and more in the market.
第四句是中文式的英文,这是考生作文中的常见错误。按照英语的习惯可改为More and more fake goods have been discovered in the market in recent years.
5.The first hand I think is that law must be passed to prevent fake goods from being produced.
(三)意义连贯
文章的层次要分明,条理要清楚,上下文之间、词与词、句与句之间要上下连贯,前后呼应,才能使文章结构严谨,思路清晰、有条理。
下面这个段落是一篇文章的第三段。文章的标题是:Good Health;提纲是1.Importance of good health;2.Ways to keep fit;3.My own practice。根据第三段的提纲"我的做法",一个考生这样写:
I don′t eat meat much.Every morning I take the long run and in my spare time I like playing tennis and volleyball.In this way I keep good health and lead a happy life.
