中国学生在AEAS写作考试上的缺点

　　AEAS复习选对备考教材很重要，澳大利亚中小学入学考试网为大家整理了AEAS考试大纲和AEAS官方教材供大家参考，大家可以在我们AEAS培训网上查看。

　　单从练习量来说，无论中文还是英文，相信大家都写得足够少。AEAS的写作根本不需要文字功底，天赋与才华。专家说，从结构分析，学术类写作格式固定，模式重复，说白了是毫无技术含量的流水线操作，什么环节该干什么，加以一定量练习，想要写不好都难。

　　中国同学主要的问题不是在遣词造句上。写AEAS写作作文时，只要不总使用同一个形容词，语法稍微克制一点犯错的冲动，就不会丢太多分。考生主要问题在于，文章的结构搭不好，举例不恰当。

　　AEAS写作结构。每一段要写什么，议论文，特别是学术类文章结构特别固定，开头和结尾是论点，中间每一段是分论点，这叫总分总。千万不要想着去突破，这不是比谁有创造性，而是看谁能更好地说明白问题，所以必须让考官在找得到地方看到。

　　AEAS写作恰当的举例，这是中国同学非常薄弱的。一上考场就懵，痛苦抱头想不出合适例子。例子是从你的生活经验里搜索出来的，用自己的、朋友的，及你知道的事例作素材。很有意思的是，有考生会问：考官会不会怀疑我的例子造假?以前抄过作业没?复制粘帖过论文没?考官又不傻，考试只是演练，不是让你拿去发表，例子编得别太离谱，符合正常人的理解能力就行了。

　　“In a nutshell, it’s harder and harder to be an honest person in today’s society,” says Stephen Lim.“After a while, you feel like a jerk when other people are getting ahead by taking shortcuts.”

　　Adapted from Stephen Lim, “Telling the Truth—Does It Pay?” Plain Truth, May/June, 2001

　　Assignment: Does Stephen’s statement describe the way things actually are, or is it a cynical distortion of the truth? Plan and write an essay that discusses your point of view on the issue. Support your position with evidence and reasoning drawn from your studies, reading, experience, or observation.

　　Wanda’s Essay

　　Many people fall prey to lying mainly because it is so easy to do. It involves no physical labor, no stren-uous activity, no expenses, and no special skills. All you have to do is open your mouth and let the words fall out.

　　Lying is a major part of getting a job you are not totally qualified for. You write up a nice little resume with all the details of your life, most of which don’t pertain to the job at all, such as, for instance, your marita status or that you won the Noble Serf Award in eleventh grade, an award that you invent right on the spot.Just in case you are asked during the interview what the award was for, you prepare a lie ahead of time,maybe something like it’s an award for integrity, for being an extremely honest and trustworthy person. Also, you might not have quite enough experience for the job you are trying to get. So you fabricate a little more to show that you are used to hard work and responsibility. After all, what’s the harm in shading thetruth a little?

　　虽然现在不少学校对AEAS写作要求并不高，但由于中国考生存在的这些AEAS写作弱点，使得成绩不是很理想，这就要求学生在平时的练习中多积累写作素材，在动笔写之前列一下框架，有了清晰地写作思路以后再开始写。

　　AEAS考试成绩对大家来说很重要，所以大家不要忽视这些小的知识点，不积小流无以成江海，希望大家能耐得住性子学习，考出令人满意的成绩。
