BEC高级写作指导:图表题写作小技巧

发布时间:2020-01-01


图标题写作在BEC高级中很常见,这个题型对大多数商务英语考生来说比较新颖,但是,无论求学还是工作,这是更接近实际的商务写作形式。图表描述试题要求考生在25-30分钟内完成120个单词量左右的写作,难度不下,来看看它的写作小技巧吧。
1. 描述数据或事实时要具体,不能笼统、空泛。
2. 描述时要抓住中心思想,围绕中心思想运用所有相关的数据或事实进行描述,烘托中心思想,而不是单纯的事实或数据罗列。为了突出中心思想要放弃一些不必要的事实或数据。
3. 得出的结论必须与分析的结果一致。有时一个总结论下可能有几个小结论,那么这几个小结论应该相互一致,不能相互排斥或与总结论相悖。另外,结论不能主观臆造、凭空想像,而一定是基于事实和分析得出的必然结果。
4. 如果在考试中出现了同样的分析而得出完全不同结论的情况,千万不要把这两个不同的结论混在一起来写。这时考生应选择自己最有. 把握的结论,并按照所选择的结论的思路去组织文字进行清晰的表述。写作时,应完全放弃另一个结论,不受另一个结论的干扰。
5. 表述时,考生应保持客观中立的立场,不带个人感情色彩,不宜褒贬渲染。
6. 使用规范正式语言表述,描述事态情景用词用语准确,既不夸大也不縮小。
7. 表述时,注意动词时态的一致,选择同一个时间基准。
8. 在120-140字的写作中,大体可以分为3~4个自然段来写。每段要有主题句(Topic sentence),并且要加上适当的过渡词。较好的过渡词,会使文字自然流畅,给短文增色不少。
9. 要想有效地组织好图表描述性短文,通常有两种组织描述性文字的顺序,一种是直接顺序(Direct order),另一种是间接顺序(Indirect order)。间接顺序则是先给出各种有序的事实和数据,然后逐步导向主题思想,得出结论。间接顺序法不会让阅卷人有强加之感,所以比较安全。阅卷人可以不赞同考生的观点或结论,只要考生分析合情合理,语言运用自然流畅,仍然是篇好短文,可以获得高分。因为BEC写作成绩主要取决于语言运用水平,而不是结论的对错,所以,为了更有把握,建议考生使用间接顺序法。
10.描述图表,可以分段按时间顺序对比性描述,也可以分段按不同的事物分别描述。描述过程中可以加人分析判断,从而得出结论。
在BEC考试中,试题都为了考査和测试考生的识读、理解视觉信息的能力。BEC Higher Writing Test第一部分试题旨在测试考生是否具有把视觉信息转化为书面文字表达的能力。图表描述从考题内容上来看,似乎考试给予考生一定的写作自由度,但是,考生如果不掌握必要的图表描述写作要领,会感到无所适从,不知如何着手答题。
