四、句子结构和用词正确

要在写作中，使用正确的句子结构及恰当的词汇，首先，要勤写多练。尤其在开始练习写作的初始阶段，可勤查语法书、字典等工具书、模仿一些正确的词、句，切忌自编自造英语句式、词组，养成不良的写作习惯，一定要注意使用学习过的句式及词汇。

其次，对于那些拿不稳的句式、词组，可采用第一章中提及的“回避政策”，不要过多依赖汉英词典，否则，很容易写出 Chinglish。

以上介绍了高分档作文的评分标准以及达到刻标准的一些具体应试办法。下面，请学习一篇 14 分的作文范文：

    start with the given opening sentence: "As a human being, one can hardly do without a friend."

  5. Your composition must be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET.

    OUTLINE:

  1. The need for friends

  2. True friendship

  3. My principle in making friends

As a human being, one can hardly do without a friend.Society is made up of individuals, and making friends is a very important part in our life.Firends can give you a lot.First, if you have trouble with some problems, you can consult your good friends and exchange opinions.Thus, you will feel comfortable and encouraged.Secondly, if you wish to do some physical exercises, such as playing table tennis, you could play with friends and have a good time.Then you can relax yourself.In short, we need friends.

But what is true friendship? Some people think friends are people whom they can play with.In my opinion, a friend in need is a friend indeed.True friendship can encourage you when youare in difficulties.A

true friend not only shares with you your joy and happiness but also your trouble and anxiety.When you need him, he will give you a hand and spare no efforts.Of course, these principles are the same to you when you treat your friends.

As far as I'm concerned, I wish to make as many friends as possible.The world is a big family, and we will feel relaxed in a friendly atmosphere.You will discover the world is full of flowers and happpiness.I wish some day we can all be friends.

最后，值得一提的是，因为研究生入学英语作文考试阅卷采用的是总体评分（Global scoring）方法，阅卷人员就总印象给出奖励分（Reward scores）,而不是按语言点的错误数扣分，所以，考生应注意卷面整洁美观，答题纸四周都要留空边。一般情况下，你的短文读者即是阅卷老师，所以，短文忌用对读者不尊敬的词，避免引起阅卷老师的反感。例如，有些习作经常出现下述句子：“Do you know⋯? Let me tell you”.类似句子既过于口语化，又有将读者当“学生”之嫌，应尽量避免使用。另外，切勿将题目已提供的英语单词抄错。
