作者：沪江英语教研来源：沪江部落 2014-05-22 18:30

2014年6月英语四级六级考试马上就要来临了，提到四六级作文，大家是不是已经背了不少模板呢？背会了模板固然很好，但是千万不要忽略了最基本的词汇的积累。如果缺乏相应的词汇积累，有的考生可能连图表（画）作文上的英文注释都看不懂，理解错误可能会导致文章写跑题。更有甚者，写出的只有模板，言之无物，也是写作的大忌！

近两年来，四级作文命题喜欢将时下热点以漫画或图片的形式展现。尤其是互联网，更成为话题的“宠儿”。假如给大家一幅漫画，画中两人正在讨论自己在微博上看过的东西，讨论得特别开心，感觉彼此一见如故，相见恨晚。这样一幅画提炼出来的内容，同样用老生常谈的三段式可以解决，那就是：
1. 如今微博（microblog）越来越普及
2. 微博普及对于社会生活的影响
3. 我的观点

下面就一起来看看，如何围绕这一提纲展开文章，写出内容详实的高分作文！

一、引言段常用词

首段可以先点出微博迅速流行的原因——随着互联网的发展和普及，微博进入了人们的生活。With the development and the popularity of the Internet, many newly-born terms such as microblog have found their ways into our everyday life. 在描述社会现象时，with the development and the popularity of… “随着……的发展和普及”是最常用的表原因的词汇。央视网CCTV.COM对微博现象也有报道，表达也同样使用了with结构。

With the increasing numbers of smartphones and Chinese Internet users, micro blogging, known as Weibo in Chinese, has seen a surge.

See a surge指事物的突然发生和激增，考试时surge这样难度的词语考生可能想不到。这里使用sth. have/has found their way into our everyday life，既生动形象又地道地表达了“某种新兴事物进入人们的生活”的意思。另外，想表达微博迅速流行还可以使用短语become a huge overnight sensation，或see an explosive growth给文章增色加分。

参考引言段：
With the development and the popularity of the Internet, many newly-born terms such as microblog have found their ways into our everyday life. Microblog has become a huge overnight sensation in China.

二、正文段常用词

某种现象的流行或普及必然对社会或人们“产生巨大的影响”，所以在现象解释类写作中，一定要记住这个短语的表达——“产生巨大的影响”：exert a great/negative/huge influence/impact on，其中修饰语部分可以根据具体写作内容灵活替换为表示“巨大的，负面的，意义重大的，积极的”等含义的词语(great/negative/significant/active)。接下来，文章应该从几个方面（firstly, secondly, thirdly, last but not least/moreover）阐述微博对社会产生的影响。

与传统博客不同，微博集合了众多轻量级元素如：至多140个字的文字信息，可附图片、视频或链接。

微博还是人们获取实时消息的重要来源，借助互联网，在微博上发布的任何消息人们都能在第一时间收到。

微博改变了信息传递的方式——普通人也可以成为重大事件的记录者发布者。

人们在微博平台上发表观点，讨论感兴趣的话题。微博在人们沟通交流中起着重要作用。

以上可以看作是正文段中展开阐述的四点具体内容，涉及的一些难点词汇如下：
发布信息：release information
交换信息：exchange information
图片和视频：images and videos
链接：links
实时消息：real-time news
第一时间：immediately/in seconds
亲历的，第一手的：first-hand
网民：netizen
信息传递：spread of information
信息来源：source of news/information
起着重要作用：play an important role in
成为：work as/act as

参考正文段：
The widespread use of microblog exerts a great influence on our daily life. Firstly, microblog allows users to share small elements of contents with friends or strangers, such as short sentences no more than 140 words, individual images, videos or links, which are totally different from those of traditional blog. Secondly, microblog has also emerged as an important source of real-time news, which reaches its audience in seconds. Thirdly, microblogging have revolutionized the way information is spread. By recording and releasing first-hand news, many ordinary netizens can act as sources of information, too. Last but not least, microblog offers a platform for people to discuss hot topics, share opinions and stay in touch, which plays an important role in communication with the public.

三、结尾段常用词

最后一段要求阐明自己的观点，表达观点的常用语有as far as I'm concerned/as to me/to my thought, 表达“我同意，我认为”可以用这些短语in a word/I agree with that…/I am in favor of…。

参考结尾：
As far as I'm concerned, microblog provides a newly-emerged useful and convenient communication tool for people. I'm in complete agreement with the phrase "microblogging, flattering the world."
