劍14的出版給正在備戰(zhàn)的烤鴨們指明了新的方向和要求。
就寫作部分，我結合自今年1月以來統(tǒng)計的最新成績單及考生復習特點給大家說明寫作備考的關鍵和誤區(qū)。
一 寫作備考誤區(qū)
我注意到很多同學聽力或閱讀的成績輕松破6，或者可以達到7-8的高分，但寫作就是徘徊于5-5.5分。
不少考生都反映寫作使人懷疑人生。以下就是幾處典型的寫作備考失利表現(xiàn)：
大作文
1. 不會控制時間審題。
因為沒有話題儲配，對題目討論的問題分析比較膚淺，并抓不住重點，感覺自己邏輯總是在跳躍。
很多時候都是有了些想法就開始寫，但寫了很長的開頭又擦掉重寫，完全浪費時間。
2. 不會控制文章篇幅。
考場上自己想到的點子或例子基本都不太好，也沒法在短時間內(nèi)深入分析題目再去論證。結果就悲劇了，文章寫的很艱難，湊字數(shù)的時候只能保證盡量不跑題。
舉例的時候不典型，也不會詳略得當，不是想不出就是太啰嗦——有的時候是在不斷重復講道理，有的時候是在大篇幅描述例子而沒有論證。
句子和段落之間的銜接只會用moreover，additionally之類的詞，過渡很生硬。
3. 不會控制寫作節(jié)奏。
由于以上兩個大坑，整個寫作考試期間基本是慌亂狀態(tài)，想使勁往前趕，但發(fā)不出力。結果就是完全沒時間檢查，語法和詞匯的準確度無法保證。
小作文
很多A類考生一直沒理解小作文考點，只是單純地用不同的表達和句型把數(shù)據(jù)羅列出來。后來才知道小作文原來是考查邏輯分析能力。
數(shù)據(jù)類圖表作文就是數(shù)據(jù)類分析報告，流程地圖類就是功能、原理或圖形描述。
所以大部分考生一直沒在意如何分析處理圖表，僅僅是累計詞匯表達，完全不對應考點。
二 寫作班學生復習經(jīng)驗分享
1
拿到成績，回首備考，大部分考生最大的感受是準備要趁早，不要根據(jù)自信和所謂聽來的經(jīng)驗DIY，尤其是寫作，資料和方法缺一不可。
如果說已經(jīng)走過彎路或浪費過大量時間，那么最好的開始時間就是現(xiàn)在。
2
寫作首先要解決的就是寫什么，并做到寫得準。這也是課上老師講的原話。為此，備考一定要認識話題庫！
理解每一個話題考官出題規(guī)律，弄清話題之間的聯(lián)系，整理話題對應重點題目的寫作思路和角度——這些都是保證作文寫在點上的關鍵。
寫作課每節(jié)都在強調輸入大于輸出，說的就是動筆寫之前一定要完整、大量的多看多理解，挑重點內(nèi)容記憶、模仿。
很多同學感嘆考前很難培養(yǎng)自己的英式思維，可如果有效處理、學習了課上的題目和范文，這是絕對能實現(xiàn)，這一點從審題的能力上就開始體現(xiàn)出來。
3
邏輯結構方面，其實只要學習了第一節(jié)課就通了，邏輯再混亂的同學也不會糾結文章段落結構了。
比如，原來議論文和說明文題型特點和邏輯結構也是通的，這個簡化了之前記憶的好多套路，真的高效。
印象最深的幾點內(nèi)容：題目表面的陳述方式不同，但很可能是同一個寫作任務；議論文一定要根據(jù)中心觀點確定文章結構，而不是機械套用某個結構給自己出個大完形填空。
4
語言方面，老師上課講的第一句話是：一篇大作文寫幾句話？需要幾種句法考到6分和7分？7分作文字數(shù)260-270足以，需要寫15-16句話，使用12鐘句法。可惜的是，這是多數(shù)考生從來沒有的概念。
所以，語言方面我們要量化到這一步，考試就輕松了。其實很多同學背誦的同義替換和所謂的高分詞匯，考試真的沒啥用，而且是經(jīng)常用不出來。
5
關于小作文，我們要坦然接受無規(guī)律出題的事實，尤其是A類考試，要特別注意圖表分析能力的提升。否認考題的靈活度，光想著套路會出大問題。
很多同學避之不及的流程地圖題，其實好好復習了會發(fā)現(xiàn)不難寫，而且小作文的難題多數(shù)是數(shù)據(jù)類圖表。
做好以上這幾點，寫作拿高分就不難！
三、劍14寫作考題特點
下面送上最新劍14寫作考題特點速遞：
Task1小作文
G類4道書信作文中規(guī)中矩，無驚喜，很好，本身也很符合G類小作文一貫的出題角度和題型特點，大家踏實復習起來，一定要穩(wěn)得分。備考和寫作的重點仍然是信件故事情節(jié)的細化要扣題、語言要準確。
A類4道題目分別是一道數(shù)據(jù)類的動態(tài)圖，一道數(shù)據(jù)類的靜態(tài)圖，一道流程圖，還有一道地圖題。
其中數(shù)據(jù)類的兩道題目難度正常，與之前考題難度統(tǒng)一，備考關鍵是圖表的分析處理。流程圖是功能原理性流程圖，也不是新題型。
地圖題是圖形對比類地圖，幾年前考查過的選址類地圖題型基本可以排除。
值得注意的是書后給出的地圖題滿分范文字數(shù)遠超150個單詞，接近大作文最少字數(shù)要求250個單詞，所以提醒目標分數(shù)是7及7 的同學要注意流程和地圖題描述的細致程度。
需要特別提醒的是，A類的考生一定要注意流程題圖是必復習題型，切忌抽簽式備考。
劍14一半比例的題目是非數(shù)據(jù)類的流程地圖題，所以就不要麻痹自己了，復習要完整！
Task2大作文
劍14中考官范文又回歸了，但大作文考題靈活度卻明顯增加了。
無論是A類還是G類考題，大家接下來備考一定要注意兩個點。
一是要更深入整理、分析話題庫所有話題的考官出題角度；二是要特別注意話題之間的交集，因為多話題和話題隱晦型考題增加了。
在這里給大家分享剛剛寫出的最新參考范文，分別針對A類和G類最抽象的題目。
劍橋14并沒有提供這2道題目對應的考官范文，但同學們提問最多的恰好又是這2道題目。所以，我們學習起來。
A類Test1Task2
Some people believe that it is best to accept a bad situation, such as an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money. Others argue that it is better to try and improve such situations. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Experiencing challenges and problems are part of life. There is nobody alive who has been spared hardship. When encountering a bad situation, I believe it is important to learn to accept it, such as an unpromising job or lack of money, and then try to make a difference in order to pursue a better life.
Instead of accepting the fact that bad things happen to everyone, most people struggle to distance themselves from dilemmas even though they cannot change what has happened. This resistance of reality only aggravates the pain. However, if people learned to face and embrace unhappiness or disappointment, they would realize that they are strong enough to withstand adversities. Rather than swimming against the tide, practicing going with the flow emerge a tougher and wiser person.
A troubling situation often presents people with perfect opportunities to learn a valuable life lesson. For instance, doing an unsatisfactory job or even getting laid off could motivate the person to upgrade his or her education or skills and learn to become a more valued employee so as to deliver better performance at work. Another example is that starting manage money is a sign of growing up for those who are in debt constantly. Without the ability of creating a budget or investing for the future, one’s life would be in chaos and collapse easily. Of course, there genuinely are extremely difficult and sad situations that all of us must face, such as the death of loved ones, but in most cases, things are less detrimental and dramatic than they seem and surviving difficulties provides perspective in our lives.
Overall, I believe happiness is a choice which relies on how to respond to a negative situation.
G類Test3Task2
Some people say the main way to be happy in life is to have a lot of money. How might having a lot of money make people happy? What other things in life can make people happy?
Happiness is very difficult to define because it means so many things to people. While some believe financial advantage is the source of happiness, I hold a quite different opinion.
A large number of people today connect happiness with economic status. They think the more money they can make, the happier they can become. When there is an item that one dreams to have or a lifestyle that he or she is eager to possess, acquiring that money does make him or her happier, but possibly only in short-term. Once the goal achieved, the person may feel unsatisfied soon. What is worse, modern life seems to be all about consumerism and people are constantly being marketed to compromise so many more valuable things and experiences only to shop more. There are people who work themselves into an early grave to make the money which does not increase life satisfaction in the end.
People tend to think certain factors contribute to happiness when they actually do not. I believe ultimate happiness is dependent on how people look at life. One’s attitude and outlook are the real factors affect happiness. To begin with, being optimistic and purposeful is crucial. Most people are determined to make the best of life, but no one is sure about whether things are going to work out or not. However, when people believe in their abilities to live life in the way they have expected, they usually have higher level of diligence and self-control which creates greater chances of success. Also, engaging in work that has meaning and purpose encourages people to stay motivated and gets them to enjoy more of the journey. Furthermore, having a strong social network in real world provides people with friends and loved ones to share with, learn from and have fun with. The bond and connection shared with others is an unrivalled component of happiness available to all. Last but not the least, wellbeing is an authentic source of being happy. People do not have to be Olympic athletes but maintaining good physical condition is essential for pursuing happiness.
To conclude, there will always be ups and downs in life but when people take care of genuine sources of happiness, they will have the best chance of maintaining a constant stream of it.
這篇文章字數(shù)比規(guī)定最少字數(shù)超出不少。一方面是因為本題可寫性很強，論證充分字數(shù)很容易多；另一方面是由于劍14給出的一篇大作文參考范文字數(shù)比以往多很多，遠超250個單詞。
對比以上兩道作文題，大家不難發(fā)現(xiàn)其實題目核心談論的都是生活中的選擇和幸福，這是屬于表面抽象、話題不明顯的考題，但實際難度并沒有增加，體現(xiàn)的是考題的靈活度。
總得來說，希望接下來即將考試的同學們能盡早開啟寫作備考，注重自己的審題能力的提升，避免生硬的背誦、套用素材。更多備考問題，歡迎大家向我提問。
