写作技巧与预测作文 索玉柱编写
大学英语作文题采用总体评分(Global Scoring)方法。阅卷人员就总的印象给出分值(Reward Scoring)，而不是按语言点的错误数目扣分。从内容和语言两方面对作文进行综合评判。内容和语言是个统一体，作文应表达题目所规定的内容，而内容要通过语言来表达。要考虑作文是否切题、是否充分表达主题思想，也要考虑是否能用英语清楚而确切地表达，也就是考虑语言上的错误是否造成理解上的障碍。
(一)评分标准
写作满分为15分，分5个等级：2分、5分、8分、11分、14分。 各分段评分具体标准如下：

5分——基本切题。表达思想不清楚，连贯性差。有较多的严重语言错误。 8分——基本切题。有些地方表达思想不够清楚，文字勉强连贯。语言错误较多，其中有少量严重错误。
11分——切题。表达思想清楚，文字连贯，但有少量语言错误。 14分——切题。表达思想清楚，文字通顺，连贯性较好，基本上无语言错误，仅有个别小错。

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to your school newspaper to express your view on CET Reform. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1．举办四、六级考试的优点 2．四、六级考试存在的问题 3．你的建议 CET Reform Oct. 28, 2005 Dear editor,
I am a junior majoring ill computer science. At present, I am preparing for the CET-6. During the process of preparation, I think I get a clearer view of this national test, and I' d like to express my views on it. As science students, we consider English as a helpful tool, and the CET is useful to measure the English proficiency of college students in China. In my case, I learn a lot of knowledge from the information given by the CET. Both my comprehension and pragmatic skills are improved after taking the various mock tests. The test result is fairly reliable because it is still one of the basic criteria for employers to hire employees. What' s more, to meet the needs of China' s reform and open-door policy,

the offer of the Spoken English Test also helps monitor the students to pay attention to the oral communication skill in daily life.
Nevertheless, there are still a lot of problems emerging out. English is not our native tongue, so we have to spend a lot of time on some items not necessary for our major. After all, too many exams do make us feel stressful, and we sometimes are confused about our motivations of learning English.
I suggest the CET designers apply the high technology to make the CET show more humanistic characteristics, that is to say, the questions in CET can change according to the examinees' specific circumstances, thus the interactiveness between us and the test will be achieved. In a word, I hope the current reform of CET will be more authentic instead of just bringing headache to students.
Best wishes to you all.
Yours sincerely,
Zhang Ling

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Safety of Food. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1．目前食品安全的状况
2．产生这些食品质量问题的原因 3．提出建议 The Safety of Food
Despite the decline in the number of eases related to fake foods and foods of poor quality, problems remain serious in the market. Food-born diseases remain responsible for high levels of sickness and mortality in the general population, particularly for at-risk groups, such as infants, young children, and the elderly. The most notorious case involved low quality milk powder in Fuyang, in East China's Anhui Province, which caused the death of a dozen babies.

In my personal opinion, I think the responsibility goes for the most part to the food producers especially those who fail to meet safety standards. In order to sell more products, some food producers may even intentionally use various chemicals, such as pesticides, animal drugs etc. during manufacturing and processing just to make food look or taste good without taking people' s life into consideration. As we all know, food additives and contaminants can adversely affect health.
In this regard, in order to reduce the incidence and economic
consequences of food-born diseases, the supervision of food production should be stepped up. What' s more, it is important to drastically increase penalties on those who neglect food safety statutes.
After all, the Food Safety Department in our country should educate consumers about the risks presented in food and the safe food handling behaviors that can help minimize those risks. Nevertheless, it is our own awareness of good life style and hygiene habit that a healthy life relies on.

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to your fellow students advocating Saving Water. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1．我国是个淡水资源十分匮乏的国家 2．如何从我做起节约用水 Saving Water
I am writing to inform all of my fellow students to save water in daily life. Our country is not rich in water resources, and the possession of water resources per person in China is below the world average. In some regions of our country water is so scarce that it is hard for the people and animals to get enough water to drink. What makes it worse, the pollution of water resources by the industries is getting more serious every day.
Of course, our government has taken many measures to counter the problem, and the good effect has been seen in some degree. However, that is not enough, the cause of saving water needs the participant of everybody. As college students, we have a good reason to do a better job in saving
