PETS三级写作常为160-200个词左右的短文,文章难易程度适中,对于文章的文体,语言等要求较高,考生在写作时,要注意审请题目,抓住作文题目的核心重点,围绕着题目展开写作,考生在组织文章时要注意思路清晰,语言准确,句子完整,避免出现语法错误,另外,在写作,要尽量运用连词,如However,Nevertheless等,还要尽量运用谚语,如Every coin has two sides, More practice,more benefit,这样会增加作文的写作色彩,从而提高作文的得分。
作文考试的文体常分为四类:议论文;说明文;记叙文;描写性作文。下面分别分析以上四类文章:
(三)记叙文
记叙文是阐述一件事情的发生、发展、起因、高潮,以及结果的文章,对于它的写作最重要的是把文章的思路屡清,把事情的读者介绍清楚,特别注意时间、地点、人物的变化。
下面以一篇习作来看看这种文章的写作。
An Unforgettable Test
Last Sunday,I took the GRE. It was the longest test I had ever taken. I entered the examination room at eight o’clock and did not come out until twelve. For the first hour I sat there waiting anxiously for the proctor to give out the paper. Then the exam officially began. I saw nothing but the test paper. How time flew. I did one section after another. The test was over without my knowing it.
Earlier I had taken many tests,yet at no test did I feel time so limited as this one. Usually there is plenty of time for me to go over what I have written when I finish the test. I would sit there waiting restlessly for the test to be over.
But this time,it took me over twenty minutes to have finished the two sections on math at a much slower speed than usual. God bless me. I wish I had been careful enough this time.
At noon,someone came over to talk with me about the test,which put me in doubt of whether or not I had put the number of my test certificate right on the answer sheet. I was sure I filled in the number,but I did not remember whether or not I had circled the corresponding number under it.
However,maybe all of my efforts are not made in vain. It would be terrible if I got no grades after working so hard.
【译文】 难忘的考试
上星期天,我参加了GRE考试。这次考试是我考得最久的一次。8点钟进考场,一直到12点多才出来。刚开始1个小时,我急不可耐地坐等发卷子。正式开考后,只觉得时间飞逝。哗一下,一部分做完了;哗,又另一部分做完了,不知不觉中考试完了。
以前,从没有哪次考试像这次一样时间扣得如此的紧。通常,我都是较快做完,并用大量时间复查,坐在那儿等时间过去,等得很着急。 这次考试,仅数学的两个部分,我就花了20多分钟,大大慢于平时练习的速度。老天保佑,但愿我这次够细心!
今天中午,来了个人与我聊起考试的事情,结果使我怀疑起我是否 把准考证号码正确地填在答题纸上。填肯定是填过的,可是我记不清是否划过圈了。
真糟糕!别辛苦了一场,连成绩都没有,那就惨了。
