4 条批注一条没漏,而且每条都不是"一句话敷衍":①给了明确立场(completely agree)+ 理由(chess is easy to learn);②选了周中 + 理由(同学周末有安排、俱乐部好组织);③④明确表态愿意帮忙、并说清不能留的原因。这是标准的内容满分答卷。
内容层面已经无可挑,唯一的浪费是理由重复:"prefer during the week" 和 "choose on weekdays" 说的是同一件事,后面又用 "weekdays' club is easier" 再讲一次——同一个意思在三句里出现三次。删掉重复,篇幅立刻降下来,内容强度反而更高。
格式完全正确:Dear Mr Allen 开头 + Best wishes 收尾,写给老师的半正式语域拿捏得当。开头的 Thank you for organising the chess club! 很自然,既能致谢又直接进入话题;I really want to help design posters 这句主动表态尤其好,态度积极、读者感受得到。
离 5 分差在读者意识——全文都是"我我我"(I agree / I prefer / I want),没有一处把话头递回给 Mr Allen。官方高分范文在结尾常有一句 I hope that my suggestions are useful 或 What do you think?,这一句就是 4 分与 5 分的分界。另外 I am sorry to say I cannot stay 说法偏生硬,I'm afraid I can't… 更自然得体。
4 段,而且分段与内容点几乎一一对应(致谢 / 观点 / 时间 / 帮忙+原因),读者可以毫不费力地跟下来。衔接手段也有变化:as / The reason why… is that / Also / but,比只用 and 串句高一个层次。
问题在句子内部:第三段的 The reason why I choose having this club on weekdays is that… 用了 12 个词来讲"我选周中",而这个意思前一句已经说过了。另外 Also, weekdays' club is easier to organize, and everybody can join in. 又补了第二、三个理由,一句里塞了三层。把这三句合成一句"观点 + 一个理由",段落会利落很多。
敢用复杂结构:looking forward to、not just those who…、The reason why… is that、everyone who…——说明从句框架已经搭起来了,词汇也够用(organising / arrangements / organize)。
错在五个"半会半不会"的点上:looking forward to attend(to 后接动名词)、agree the idea of… can join(agree 要加 with / 后接 that 从句)、everyone who join(主谓一致)、choose having(choose 接不定式)、weekdays' club(所有格误用)。这五处全部在「修改范文 · 改动对照表」里逐条对应。另外拼写用英式:organize → organise。
三个问题全部正面回答,而且第②问给了层层递进的细节——不只是"我喜欢她的歌",还有"旋律抓耳、歌词优美、唱起来顺口",再加一句"难过时听歌会放松"。这就是 Article 最值钱的"个人细节"。第③问用"两面看"的框架回答,思辨意识明确。
193 词的篇幅里,约 60 词是重复的:第一段说"She is a singer, her songs are well-known",第二段开头又说"her songs are amazing",说的是同一件事。把重复合并,内容一分不减,篇幅能砍掉三分之一。
有明确的个人立场(I like her very much / I'm really happy to be her fan),第③问用 On the one hand… On the other hand… 把"两面"铺开,最后一句 I wish I could be a wonderful person like her in the future 收得温暖,是有真情实感的结尾。
文章是投给青少年杂志的征文,但全程没和读者发生关系:开头一句陈述(The famous person that I like is…)直接开讲,没有 hook;也没有一处 Have you ever…? / Do you like her too? 这类互动。这是 Article 拿 3 分与 4 分的分界——官方高分样文都靠开头一个问句或一句惊奇把读者的注意力先抓住。
结构非常清楚:介绍 → 为什么喜欢 → 生活是否轻松 → 总收。每问一段,段首就是主题句,末端用 Overall 收束。衔接词也用出了层次:as / Sometimes when / Additionally / On the one hand / On the other hand / Overall——这个衔接丰富度在 B1 里属于中上。
骨架没问题,拖后腿的是段落内部的信息重复:第①段和第②段其实都在讲"她是歌手、歌好听";第③段里 almost everyone know her 和 many people do very like her 又是同一个意思说了两遍。删掉这些"回音",四段会立刻变成三段半的紧凑感。
词汇上有真东西:melodies are catchy、lyrics are elegant、sing along with、relieved and relaxed——这几个表达准确且不基础,说明平时有听读积累。句子也敢拉长(Sometimes when I'm a bit upset or sad, I…)。
七处错误里,最扎眼的是疑问句不会造:Do Taylor Swift has an easy life? 应为 Does Taylor Swift have…——第三人称单数疑问句 = Does + 主语 + 动词原形,这是 B1 必须过关的点。其余依次为:On one hands(固定搭配是 On the one hand)、everyone know、really care(主谓一致)、do very like(语序)、care of(应 care about)、bad contents(content 不可数)。详见「修改范文 · 改动对照表」。
按"改了最能提分"的顺序排列。前四项属于系统性问题(两篇反复出现),优先解决——这四项改完,两篇的 Language 都能从 3 提到 4。
下面每一处颜色都对应「修改建议」的一条建议:点评怎么说,这里就怎么改。红色不改就扣分,黄色改了更顺,绿色是「进阶升级建议」的可选提升。
Dear Mr Allen,
Thank you for organising the chess club! We are all looking forward to attending1 it.
I completely agree with the idea that all students should be able to join2, as chess is easy to learn. I believe everyone who joins3 will have a good time.
I would prefer to hold the club during the week4, because some students have other plans at weekends and a weekday club is easier to organise5.
I really want to help design the posters, but I'm afraid I can't stay after school on Wednesday6, as I have an English class and I mustn't be late. I hope my ideas are useful7.
Thanks for your time.
Best wishes,
Heidi
Are you a Taylor Swift fan too?8
The famous person I like most9 is Taylor Swift. She is a singer, and I always listen to her songs in the evenings when I need to switch off10.
I like her because her melodies are catchy and her lyrics are elegant, easy to sing along with. When I feel upset, her songs always make me feel much better, and she really cares about1 her fans.
Does she have4 an easy life? Personally, it depends9. On the one hand6, she is rich and almost everyone knows1 her, so she must enjoy being a star3. On the other hand, some people send her negative comments7, so her life may not be as easy as it looks.
Overall, I hope I can be as wonderful as her10 one day.
以下为可选提升,不影响原得分;每条均略高于现水平且可迁移到其他话题——不硬塞超纲词、不为长而长。上面「修改建议」改的是"错的",这里升级的是"对的但可以更好的"。
| 维度 | Part 1 | Part 2 | 学生水平判断 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Content | 5 / 5 | 5 / 5 | 要点全覆盖且展开充分——已到顶 |
| Communicative Achievement | 4 / 5 | 3 / 5 | 邮件得体;文章缺 hook 与读者互动 |
| Organisation | 4 / 5 | 4 / 5 | 骨架清楚,重复拖累紧凑度 |
| Language | 3 / 5 | 3 / 5 | 基础错集中,一改就见效 |
① 建一张"写完自检清单",就 5 条:主谓一致(主语单复数)、疑问句是否用对助动词、介词后面是不是动名词、单句是否完整、有没有重复的句子。写完对着清单过一遍,Language 从 3 到 4 就是这一张纸的事。
② 练习"删"。下次写完先数一遍词数,超过 130 就自己找重复句删。这篇 Article 里 60 多个词是重复的——删掉之后文章没有变弱,反而更强。PET 写作里"少即是多"完全成立。
③ 给 Article 固定加两个动作。开头一个 hook 问句,结尾一句回响。这两句各 8 个词,加起来不到 20 词,却能把 Communicative Achievement 从 3 顶到 4。
