论文写作指导：英语六级写作技巧及范文

 17世纪英国哲学家培根曾说："阅读使人充实，谈话使人机智，写作使人精确。"在英语学习过程中培养和提高书面表达是一个非常重要的环节和内容。英语写作也是体现英语应用能力的一个重要方面，是各类大学英语考试的必考题型之一，但却往往是考生的薄弱环节。

教育部1999年最新六级考试大纲对写作的具体要求是：能在阅读难度与课文相仿的书面材料时做笔记、回答问题和写提纲，能就一定的话题或提纲在半小时内写出150词的短文，能写通知或便条，表达意思清楚，无重大语言错误。
大学英语六级考试作文评分原则来取总体评分，就文章的总体印象给分及奖励分，而不是按语言点的错误数目扣分。
短文的写作模式：六级作文题的长度不能少于150词，结构多为"三段式"，一般可以用10～14句子完成。 
这部分必须点题，用 2-3个句子完成，它约占全文的20%-30%。 
在这部分里，考生应该首先写出主题句，然后从 2～3个方面比较详细地论述短文的主题。这部分约占全文60%。 
考生应该用概括性的语言来总结全文主题，得出结论。结尾部分约占全文 15%-20%。 
另外，也可以保持"三段式"不变。有时命题者要求考生先描述一种情况，再对此问题展开 讨论。在这种情况下，第一段所占的篇幅就要提高，约占全文的 30%-40%。

以下是短文写作中使用率最高、覆盖面最广的基本句式，每组句式的功能相同或相似，考生可根据自己的情况选择其中的1－2个，做到能够熟练正确地仿写或套用。
