如何判断你的英语作文可读性【一】
Nowadays, many famous university campuses have become one of the popular tourist attractions. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that every year thousands and thousands of middle school students visit Tsing Hua University and Peking University and other famous universities in China. In the place far away from the capital city, the local students also visit the universities famous in their own province.
So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to open the university campus for tourists? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing for the students to visit the famous university campus in that it can enable the middle students to get more information about the university and they can have enough time and opportunity to prepare themselves with the chance to get into the university. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, the public tourism will have negative effect on the universities because it will not only do harm to the environment but also to the intellectual atmosphere.
In my opinion, the tourism to the universities is not a good thing. The campus is mainly a place for study. With the increasing tourism on the campus, it will ruin the spiritual atmosphere in this learning field.
首先，提纯范文 “谋篇布局”及结构模板。
第一段：提出问题或现象。Nowadays, … … have become one of the popular … …. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that … ….
第二段：正反列举人们的看法。So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to … …? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing for … … in that … …. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, … … will have negative effect on … … because it will not only do harm to … … but also to … ….
第三段：摆明自己观点。In my opinion, … … is not a good thing. … … With the increasing … …, it will ruin … ….
其次，提纯范文“段落写作”。
段落写作分为统一性，连贯性和完整性三方面。
统一性(unity：段落开头的主题句应该做到不可太宽泛，也不可太具体，做到有较强的概括性才能使下文做到有的放矢的展开。范文第二段首句以设问的方式提出一个问题is it a good or bad thing就有很强的概况性。下文自然会一方面从好的方面说明，另一方面从坏的方面说明。
连贯性(coherence：关联词是使文章段落之间相互连贯的必要条件。范文中nowadays, on one hand, on the other hand, in one’s opinion即以“启承转合”递进的顺序是文章条理清晰，层层展开。
完整性(completeness：以设问句“So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to open the university campus for tourists?”开头，这是平时较少运用的段落写作方式——设问法。“On one hand … …. On the other hand, … ….”是段落写作分类列举法的典型用法。
再次，提纯范文“句子写作”。
1. It has been shown that … …
类似句型：It is known to us that … …
It is said that … …
It is reported that … …
It is controversial that … …
2. “… … Tsing Hua University and Peking University and other famous universities … …。”——并列句。并列句是简单的复杂句。但其运用方法并不简单，注意练习并接句的使用，会使句子显的更加饱满。
3. enable v. 使…能够
I gave him full directions to enable him to find the house.
4. in that = because
表“因为”的连词还有since, for, as，如：
The boy was absent because he was ill. = The boy was absent since he was ill.
此句以我们常用的人称开头，句式简单，我们可以通过把since提前改变句式，如：
Since the boy was ill, he was absent. 句式多样化。
最后，提纯范文“措辞”。
1. attraction n. 具有吸引力的事情。
2. thousands and thousands 成千上万的
形容“多”的表达方法：millions and millions
a multitude of
a great deal of
a large amount of
plenty of
many a
3. “some people argued that … …”中的“argue”并不是“讨论，辩论”的意思，而是“认为”。
I argue that … …
I maintain that … …
I claim that … …
I insist that … … = I think that … …
I hold that … …
I assert that … …
I assume that … …
4. negative adj. 否定的.，相反的
hold negative view = hold opposite opinions
5. phenomenon n. 现象
social phenomenon 社会现象
natural phenomenon 自然现象
6. intellectual adj. 聪明的= intelligent, bright, clever
(选词策略：使用最近所学的单词，如intellectual > intelligent > bright > clever
在分析并掌握范文之后，我们需要运用范文知识练习仿写。笔者运用2005年12月范文中的模板结构仿写了2006年12月的四级作文，以供参考：
1. 许多人喜欢在除夕夜看春节晚会
2. 但有些人提出取消春节晚会
3. 我的看法
Nowadays, the Spring Festival Evening has become one of the popular topic and attractions during every traditional New Year’s Eve. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that every year thousands and thousands of Chinese people appear to be accustomed to enjoying the sights and sounds of a brilliant feast, while gathering with their beloved family.
However, an increasing number of people have voiced different opinions towards it. So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to cancel the Spring Festival Evening? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing to amuse the audience in that it is composed by a numerous adequate programs, such as the emotional song, the graceful dance, the funny short sketch, the amusing comic dialogue, the delightful magic, and the marvelous acrobatics and so on. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, the Spring Festival Evening will have negative effect on the family harmony because it will not only do harm to having the talks between family members on the Spring Festival Eve but also to enjoying the gourmet meal in a fancy restaurant.
In my opinion, the Spring Festival Evening is a good thing. It may not remain a must for all people, but it can bring us a strong sense of festivity and serve as an alternative among the variety of holiday activities. With the increasing audience of the Spring Festival Evening, it will ruin a distinctive culture during the Spring Festival vacation.

这样就涉及到了价值这一概念了。不知道中国人是怎么划定这一界限，反正我是怎么也看不明白。我以为对一件事物的看法就像是读一本书，各有所见。在这方面西方就比中国人先进多了。不能因为你觉得是好的东西就一定是高雅了，现在要是还有人说《红楼梦》高雅，《金瓶梅》低俗，显然这个人是没什么文化品味了。而中学教材编制的些教材内容却是朝着一种表面高尚的步伐迈进，天知道那些内容背后隐藏着怎样不可告人的秘密。
因为个人的品味不同，所以对事物的看法也就不可规限。世上没有绝对衡量一个事物价值的标准，就像世上没有所谓全面发展的人才。那些教条些都是以前老师骗小孩子的玩意，当不了真。人类多半有这种心态大半出自学校，所谓万恶皆始于此。在观点上可能有点偏颇，却也能较大反应它的本质。一个学校在传授学业的同时也同时灌输了一些荒唐的观念和理论。比方说叫你当官，最好是当个大点的\'，班长最好，实在不行，做个书记。这就是教育。另外还告诉你们就是学校里开设的课程都是有益的，你踢足球就不行。虽然中国的足球真的不行。看书得看教材，看《挪威的森林》就是另类等等。这样一来人就完了。
我觉得人唯一能做出价值判断的就如王小波说的那样，对公兔子而言，大灰狼是坏的，母兔子是好的。因为这里是直接体现了一种本能的反应。像深层次点的艺术，就很难再判断，只能根据人的个体差异来定夺。不辛的事，这个社会已将一切的安排好了，该怎么走已经由不得自己了。在这里，我想到了鲁迅说的一句话，这世上就是有那么一些动物，好像得了中庸之道，只要跟自己的观念有点出入就说是偏激。

说明文的定义：说明文是以说明为主要表达方式来解说事物、阐明事理而给人知识的文章体裁。它通过揭示概念来说明事物特征、本质及其规律性。说明文一般介绍事物的形状、构造、类别、关系、功能，解释事物的原理、含义、特点、演变等。说明文实用性很强，它包括广告、说明书、提要、提示、规则、章程、解说词、科学小品等。
说明文的顺序：常见的说明顺序有：时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑顺序。说明的时间顺序和记叙的时间顺序相似。空间顺序，要特别注意弄清空间的位置，注意事物的表里、大小、上下、前后、左右、东南西北等的位置和方向。逻辑顺序，常以推理过程来表现。采用什么顺序，主要取决于作者所说明对象的特点。
说明文的方法：举例子、作比较、下定义、列图表、诠释法（又称作诠释）、打比方、摹状貌、引用、分类别、列数字等。
说明文的内容：按照不同的标准，说明文可分不同的类别：依据说明对象与说明目的的不同，把说明文分为事物说明文和事理说明文两大类。根据说明语言的`不同特色，表达方式的使用情况的不同，把说明文分为平实的说明文和生动的说明文两种。生动的说明文又叫文艺性说明文。文艺性说明文是通过文艺的形式介绍科学知识的说明文。
说明文虽是以说明为主要表达方式的一类文种，但若没有其他表达方式（如叙述、议论、描写等）的恰当配合，则无法圆满地完成向读者介绍事物、解释事理的任务；而从学习写作说明文的角度讲，如果能确切了解表达方式的综合运用在说明文中的重要作用，注意准确使用叙述、议论等方式来辅助说明，说明文就能写得有声有色，文采斐然。
说明文的特点是“说”，而且具有一定的知识性。这种知识，或者来自有关科学研究资料，或者是亲身实践、调查、考察的所得，都具有严格的科学性。为了要把事物说明白，就必须把握事物的特征，进而揭示出事物的本质属性，即不仅要说明“是什么”，还要说明“为什么”。应用性说明文一般只要求说明事物的特征，阐述性说明文则必须揭示出问题的本源和实质。说明文的结构：连贯式、总分式、并列式、递进式、对照式（结构包括段落）。一篇完整的说明文常常是几种结构综合运用的。
