书面表达题是高考英语试卷中难度较大的一个主观题。全国卷的英语书面表达题为25分,所占分值比例大,而且考生容易失分,因此书面表达题的得分高低在一定程度上决定了考生高考英语的成败。在英语复习备考的冲刺阶段,书面表达的规范训练尤为重要。本文拟分析近三年高考英语书面表达试题的命题趋势;探讨如何帮助考生减少失误,写出高分作文。

一、书面表达命题趋势和方向

纵观近三年的英语书面表达试题,以考查应用文中的书信(电子邮件)为主,命题形式主要是提纲作文,试题保持较强的开放性,为考生预留了较大的自主发挥的空间,有利于考查考生的综合能力、思维品质和创新能力。笔者认为,近年的英语书面表达试题具有以下几个鲜明的特点:

(一)弘扬中国传统文化,提升文化自信

近三年的高考英语书面表达试题巧妙融入中国元素,旨在引导学生关注和弘扬中国传统文化,使考生提升文化自信。

从上表可知,写作话题涉及汉语学习、唐诗、剪纸艺术、中国的社交习俗、中国画等中国元素,通过英语写作向外国人推介中国文化,以此增强考生的民族自豪感,从而落实党的十九大提出“全面贯彻党的教育方针,落实立德树人根本任务”的要求。

(二)关注校园生活,促进考生身心健康

从上表可知,高考英语书面表达的写作话题密切联系校园生活,体现了高考命题的“基础性”和“应用性”原则。由于这些活动基本上是考生日常生活的一部分,不存在地域差异,不同地域的考生都有话可说。

(三)倡导“五育并举”教学理念,促进学生全面和谐发展

值得注意的是,近三年全国卷高考英语书面表达的写作话题出现了美育(中国画展)、体育(校乒乓球、校排球队和体育运动)和艺术(校音乐节),而且与体育相关的话题重复出现,体现了当前我国基础教育对素质教育的高度重视,通过英语写作倡导德智体美劳“五育并举”教学理念,促进考生全面和谐发展。

(四)保持较强的开放性,凸显对核心素养的考查

近三年的全国卷书面表达仍以提纲作文为主,试题的写作说明简洁明了,仅为考生提供一个大致的写作框架。由于提示的内容较少,需要考生自主决定具体的写作内容,有利于对考生的思维品质和创新能力进行考查,体现了高考命题的“创新性”原则,对当前的英语教学起到了很好的指导作用。

二、考生失分的主要原因

书面表达题的综合性较强,不仅考查考生的语言能力、文化知识,而且考查考生认真审题、谋篇布局、用得体的语言表达思路的能力,因此对考生的能力要求相对较高。笔者发现,考生在书面表达写作中存在的问题主要有:(1)审题不认真,写作目的不明确,遗漏一些写作要点,甚至出现跑题现象;(2)不能恰当地使用句子间的连接词语,以至于文章结构松散,行文逻辑性差;(3)对基本句型、句子结构的掌握较差,写出的句子不完整,缺少句子成分;(4)出现一些词性误用的现象;(5)词语使用不当或短语搭配不当;(6)常见的单词拼写错误,影响信息的传递;(7)写出的句子明显带有汉语思维方式。

下面请看一篇2019年全国Ⅰ卷的学生习作:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I heared(heard) that local art museum will hold a Chinese paintings exhibition. They want some volunteers. I am writing to apply for(to be) a volunteer.

You know, I used to work for the school broadcasting station, (through) which I improved my Chinese speaking. When I am(was) a child, I learn(leaned) Chinese paintings. So I can introduce some knowledges(knowledge) about them. If I was(am) picked, I will show the relevant skills to who is interested in it. I have many experiences(knowledge) about being a volunteer. I am sure I (am) able to do it well. If you could choose me, I will work hardly(hard) .

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

根據试题的要求,考生应写一封申请信,申请当志愿者,为伦敦举办的中国画展提供志愿服务。这篇习作不仅有多处语言错误,而且存在一些严重的问题,因此得分在12~13分。我们来看这篇习作存在的问题:

第一段开头不仅遗漏自我介绍,而且apply for a volunteer搭配不当,没有把意思表达清楚。第二段的第一句误用定语从句,应在which 之前加介词 through。但是,这个句子陈述的内容不符合试题的写作要求,个人具备较高的汉语水平与在伦敦中国画展活动中当志愿者之间没有必然的关联,属于“跑题”。文中多处动词时态的错误使用和汉语式的表达使这篇习作的档次较低。

三、如何才能写出高分书面表达?

要想写出高分的书面表达,我们首先确保写出的内容符合试题的要求,不能跑题或偏题,而且短文应涵盖全部的写作要点;第二,确保句子正确使用语法,避免带有“硬伤”;第三,写作要有亮点,应有高级词汇和复杂结构,如各种从句、非谓语动词和特殊句式等。

请看2019年全国Ⅰ卷的范文:

Dear Sir/ Madam,

My name is Li Hua, a Chiense student who is studying in London now. Knowing a Chinese painting exhibition will be held in the local gallary in July, I am writing to apply to be a volunteer.

I have the following advantages: first of all, as a child, I learned the Chinese painting for several years. So I have a good knowledge of art. Second, I speak English so fluently that I can communicate with native speakers without difficulty. Whats more, I have rich experience as a volunteer. If I am chosen, I can introduce Chinese paintings to the visitors.

I would appreciate it if you could give me an opportunity. Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

范文涵盖了试题要求的全部要点。第一段是导语段,包括自我介绍、写信的背景和写作目的。第二段先使用主题句,再列举自己具备的优势,然后陈述自己能做什么。最后一段是客套话,期待对方及时回复。短文中使用了宾语从句、状语从句和多种非谓语动词形式;并使用了多个高级词汇。特别是第二段使用了first of all, second和what's more等短语,提升了文章的逻辑性,因此本文得分24-25。
