1、招聘廣告的寫作屬于應用文, 寫作時往往使用被動語態和第三人稱使文章顯得客觀、公平。
2、考生在寫應聘信的時候要注意寫作語氣, 不能口氣狂妄, 但要有自信。
3、無論招聘廣告還是應聘信, 都涉及到對應聘者的要求, 因此考生要多掌握表示技能技巧的短語句子,寫作過程中才能顯示出語言的多樣性, 避免過分單調。

(三)技巧點撥
1、基礎寫作是根據所給的內容組織成文, 不是自由發揮。部分考生喜歡在文章中使用 “Every coin has two sides”過渡, 但是這個句子并不包含任何信息點, 不適合在基礎寫作中使用。
2、正反論證的議論文要注意使用轉折和對比的詞, 如however, in contrast, compared with等。
3、如果文章最后要求考生發表自己觀點, 考生不能簡單地說I agree with...或者I disagree with..., 而是要言之有物, 有理有據。
(四)典型例題

[寫作內容]
少數同學贊成處罰乘客
大多數同學反對處罰乘客
1. 減少交通事故,促進交通安全
2. 不乘坐醉酒司機的車,不僅是對自己負責, 也是對司機和路人負責
1. 乘客難以判斷司機是否醉酒
2. 即使乘客知道司機飲酒, 如果司機不聽從乘客的勸誡, 處罰乘客是不公平的
你的看法:……
[參考范文]
Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether passengers who ride in a car driven by a drunken driver should be punished.
The minority of the students hold the opinion that punishing the passengers helps to reduce traffic accidents and increase traffic safety.
Not to ride in a car driven by a drunken driver is not only a responsible behavior for passengers themselves but also for
the drivers and other people on the road.
The majority of the students, however, disapprove of the idea, stating that it is difficult for common passengers to know whether the driver has been drinking or not.
What’s more, even if the passenger knows the driver has drunk alcohol and has attempted to persuade the driver not to drive, it is unfair to punish the passenger when the driver does not follow the advice.
As far as I am concerned, punishing passengers as well as the drivers is not only unfair but is also hard to carry out.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
2、最近一則關于“狼爸”通過嚴厲的家教, 甚至鞭打子女促使他們考上北大的報道掀起了討論的熱潮。你們學校上周末也因此開展了一場“Is Wolf Dad approach wrong?”的討論, 你對辯論賽作了一份總結。
20%的學生認為“狼爸”方法正確
80%的學生不贊成這種方法
1. 教會孩子自律
2. 解決中國父母過分溺愛孩子的問題
1. 方法粗暴, 甚至是違法的
2. 使孩子更叛逆
3. 孩子童年快樂更重要
[寫作內容]
1. 以上表格的內容;
2. 你的看法。
參考詞匯:rebellious adj. 叛逆的
[參考范文]
Last weekend, a debate was held in my school about whether Wolf Dad approach is wrong and students hold different opinions. 20% of the students think highly of Wolf Dad approach because they firmly believe that it can teach a child self-discipline, which is very important for their growth. What is more, too many Chinese children are ruined with excessive love and care so Wolf Dad approach is a good solution to this big problem。However, the majority of the students disapprove of this approach, believing that it is rude and even illegal. In addition, children may become more rebellious and it is more important for them to have a happy childhood. From my perspective, Wolf Dad approach is too extreme and is not suitable for every family.
3、如今, 選美比賽在青少年中越來越普及, 因此你們班就此開展了一場“Should beauty contests be held among teenagers?”的討論, 請你根據下面表格內容寫一份總結。
一些同學認為
另一部分同學認為
1. 愛美之心是人之常情
2. 提供了展示美和欣賞美的平臺
3. 提高青少年審美品味, 如在重要場所應該如何穿衣
1. 著重外貌,麻木追求外表美
2. 商業化,參與比賽浪費時間和金錢
總結:外貌并非成功的關鍵,應注重內在美……
[參考范文]
Recently our class has had a heated discussion about whether beauty contests should be held among teenagers. Some students hold the opinion that love of beauty is part of human nature, so beauty contests not only provide a stage for people to show off their beauty but also a good chance to appreciate beauty. Beauty contests, in their opinion, can help improve teenagers’ tastes like helping them choose the right clothes for important occasions. However, other students disagree because they are afraid that most beauty contests focus on contestants’ appearance, which encourages teenagers to run blindly after appearances。Moreover, many beauty contests are too commercialized and it is a waste of time and money to take part. Although our classmates’ opinions vary, we can still safely draw the conclusion that a good face is not the key to success and we should focus more on inner beauty.

5、It’s likely that that famous sports star will also run with the torch.很可能那位著名的體育明星也要參加火炬接力。
(三)技巧點撥
1、新聞通訊的第一句往往為全文的中心句(topic sentence), 因此這個句子中常包含四大元素what(事件), when(時間), where(地點)和who(人物), 而在下文則要補充事件的過程和細節, 往往包括why(目的或原因)和how(具體過程)等。
2、注意新聞類型題材的一些常用語, 如It is reported that..., As is reported..., According to the report...等。
3、新聞通訊報道在于平實客觀的語言, 考生不必追求過分花哨的詞匯和過于復雜的句型。
(四)典型例題

(三)技巧點撥
1、項目描寫一般是對某個事物、某項活動、某種風俗習慣等的描寫, 考生平時應多閱讀英語報刊雜志, 了解最新的技術發展, 掌握一些相關的地道英語, 如“暢銷書”可以翻譯為best sellers,“賣斷貨”可以翻譯為 “sell out of stock”。
2、考生在項目描寫的作文中需要特別注意詞性, 比如說“這個產品是高質量的”, 考生容易錯翻譯為 “This product is high quality”, 這就是考生直接按照字面翻譯, 沒有注意到quality是個名詞而不是形容詞, 所以考生應該翻譯為 “This product is of high quality”。
3、The iPhone 4, a touch-screen smart phone, is the fifth generation of the iPhone.蘋果4, 即觸屏智能手機, 是蘋果的第五代產品。
4、What is most amazing is that you can order it to do things like sending messages with your voice.最令人稱奇的是, 你可以利用聲音命令它發出信息。

Dear Bob,
I am pleased to introduce to you the elective courses of our school. The elective courses are held from 4:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon every Wednesday, lasting a term. Every student can choose two subjects out of 20 according to their own interests, such as the Brief Introduction of Chinese Literature, the Appreciation of Movies, and Calligraphy. There is no homework for the elective courses, but students are encouraged to do a lot of related reading, which provides us with a platform for our development. No exams will be taken and instead students are required to write an essay. I like our selective courses because they are not only interesting and meaningful but also help to broaden my horizons.
Yours,
Li Hua
