看看外研社杯历年来英语写作比赛中的题目有么有什么改变或者变化呢？ 外研社杯英语写作比赛题目及范文篇1 类型一：记叙文写作(Narrative Writing) 比赛内容：选手完成一篇记叙文写作(600-800词)。侧重考查选手的阅读理解、语言运用、细节描写、形象思维、创意构思、人文 素养等综合能力。 评分标准： 比赛样题： Sample task 1 Read the story starter and continue the story. Complete the story in 600-800 words. The little man came up to me as I was about to enter the telephone box, and asked me whether I had a match. I’m sorry, I said. I don’t smoke, so I haven’t any. You had better ask someone else. He looked rather disappointed, hesitated, and then turned away. I watched him walk slowly down the street before I picked up the telephone directory to look up the number I meant to dial. I am not used to a public call box so, at my first attempt to get through, the warning pips had stopped before I realized I had to insert a coin. When I was at last able to speak, I was told that the person whom I urgently wanted to give a message to had just that minute gone out. Swearing slightly under my breath, I emerged from the box and came face to face with the little man, who was looking as pathetic as a stray dog. As he raised his hat again, I could see he was quite bald. A thin line, resembling a duelling scar, crossed one cheek. He spoke nervously. Excuse my troubling you again, he said. May I walk along with you a little way? I must confide in someone. I need help desperately. Sample task 2 Look at the pictures, and write a story that fits the pictures and the sequence. Your story should be 600-800 words. 外研社杯英语写作比赛题目及范文篇2 类型二：议论文写作(Argumentative Writing) 比赛内容：选手完成一篇议论文写作(800词左右)。侧重考查选手的文献阅读理解、信息综合处理、判断分析、逻辑思辨、评价论述 等能力，展示选手的知识广度、视野维度、思想深度等综合素质。 评分标准： 比赛样题： Sample task 1 Write a passage in response to the report below. You should discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the report and explain your reasons for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the report’s opinion might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. You should write about 800 words. Newsweek, the venerable weekly publication that will be remembered for its decades-long efforts for a spot on consumers’ coffee tables, has shut down its print edition at the end of 2012, but it lives on in a new digital tablet edition known as Newsweek Global. As Tina Brown, the Newsweek editor, said, this tablet edition will target a new highly mobile, opinion-leading audience who want to learn about world events in a sophisticated context. The move should not shock. The publication has faced major financial problems in recent years. The numbers tell the tale: Newsweek’s circulation has fallen in the number of subscribers from 3 million to 1.5 million in the last decade; annual losses were thought to be $40 million. More broadly, the company faces a more existential problem in that a weekly news magazine has become an anachronism in the digital world. Newsweek is not the only one that has to tackle the challenge in the digital time; other outlets will continue to change their business models for a digital future. With the imminent death of print, digital formats come out as an inevitable development that could turn the industry’s fortune around. Sample Task 2 Read the following two paragraphs with contradicting views, and write a passage on the issue. You should clearly state your opinion and explain the reasons for your opinion. You should write about 800 words. Tablets are the ideal system of organization in schools. They are convenient, in which much information is stored in small sizes and kept together in one place, and cheap, as digital information is now becoming more affordable than print. As evolution continues to rock the modern world, digital devices will become more and more reliable. Someday, they will entirely replace print books, and hopefully, that day will come soon. Many may argue that tablets are much more convenient than paper books. But not everyone shares this preference of tablets or finds them convenient. In fact, in a study conducted by Book Industry Study Group (BISG), it was found that 75% of college students preferred traditional textbooks in which they can highlight the key words and write notes. Also, some may suggest that it is cheaper to invest in tablets than textbooks. In fact, in a 2008 study of public schools in Kentucky it was estimated that the cost of textbooks and supplies totaled around $44 million. The cost per school was around $988 for textbooks and supplies. That is roughly the cost of only two tablets. To provide tablets to all the students in a school would be an enormous sum. Therefore, we may conclude that while tablets have their purposes, they should not replace the printed books used in schools. 外研社杯英语写作比赛题目及范文篇3 类型三：说明文写作(Expository Writing) 比赛内容：选手完成一篇说明文写作(600词左右)。侧重考查选手解说事物、阐明事理的能力，以及运用知识、观察理解、梳理分析、 提炼总结、跨文化沟通的综合能力。 评分标准： 比赛样题： Sample task 1 Write a passage based on the chart below, which shows the influences of various factors on work performance in two age groups.

正如个人页面所显示的那样，本人英语专业毕业，获英语专业八级证书，现从事英语文案工作。在校期间，曾参加过“外研社杯”全国英语写作大赛（浙江赛区）三等奖。说实话，这样的成绩并不令人骄傲，但过去的学术经历让我形成自己关于英语写作的一些心得和想法，此时此刻将它们整理出来，以大学生英语学习阶段较为常见的议论文和说明文为例，总结一些干货与你们分享。 【第一部分：议论文】 回想当年“外研社杯”全国英语写作大赛学校海选阶段，复赛名单出来之后老师与我们分享了他们当时改作文时的体验：许多同学的文章没有一个明确的框架结构，或者结构比较散落，影响了文章的质量。而所有进入复赛的同学，文章结构相对合理清晰，能够得到改卷老师的认可。可见，一个好的文章结构对于一篇文章来说尤为重要。 说实话，在很少背模板结构或句型的大前提下，我始终恪守着自己的议论文结构。在我看来，这样的结构赶紧利落，明确清晰，可适用于几乎所有的议论文，这个结构如下图。 那么就以“冰桶挑战”这个曾经的热门话题为例吧，之所以想选这个话题是因为不管是当年的写作比赛复赛试题还是专八考试的作文题，都以这个为背景出现。虽然具体题目有所差异，但本质还是不变的。简单来说，我们假设题目是Should Ice Bucket Challenge be Advocated? 在作答两份试题的时候，我均持否定意见，于是我的文章大概结构是这样的： Paragraph One： 描述冰桶挑战的背景。这里需要指出的是往往试题中会有一段文字介绍的就是相关背景，而部分学生往往不乐意自己思考而选择照搬照抄，这是写作的大忌。批卷的老师是绝对不会愿意给一个缺乏自己思考的学生以高分的。在这种情况下，必须要以自己的语言来进行描述，至少也是对于题目中已给背景作出paraphrase.此过程中需牢记一个原则：简明扼要。在第一段最后，提出自己的观点：From my perspective, the action of Ice Bucket Challenge should't be advocated. Paragraph Two： 第二段开头需要一句话来进行上下文的过渡，类似于：There are three reasons to support my point of view. / Three reasons will be provided in the following paragraphs to support my opinion.紧接着直截了当放上自己的第一个论据: In the first place, due to the reality that the physical conditions of different people vary, Ice Bucket Challenge can be a threat to some people's health. 接下来举相关的例子或理由来说明，比如某某某因为进行冰桶挑战而感冒了指出冰桶挑战并不值得提倡。 Paragraph Three/ Four: 三四两段的结构同第二段，只是不再需要过渡的语句可直接提出论据，比如：That some people tend to pay more attention to the stars who take the challenge and therefore ignore the real significance of the challenge is the second reason why I am not in favor of it./ To some extent, Ice Bucket Challenge is a waste of water, which servers as the third reason for my negative attitude towards Ice Bucket Challenge.然后同样，举出相关的例子或理由加以证明。 Paragraph Five: 进行对上文的总结，比如：Taking into consideration what has been mentioned above, I firmly hold that it is not wise to advocate Ice Bucket Challenge.总结往往要多于一句话，因此可以再次总结一下上文的内容以不一样的语言展现出来。但需要注意的是：结尾不应该出现新的话题和内容，因为往往新的内容没有经过论述或证明，缺乏说服性。 一篇好的文章，定是以丰富的词汇以及句型表达构成的。词汇部分，不一定要使用多么高级的表达，但尽量避免出现初高中生的高频单词，比如many，make me sad之类的，试着用新的词汇去代替那些烂大街的词。比如用“plenty of”"tons of"代替“many”，比如用“A sense of sorrow came to my mind when...”代替原来想要表达的“...make me sad.”以及还有最最经典的，用“an increasing number of”代替“more and more.” 句型部分，在涉及到议论文的时候，很频繁地会运用到“我认为...”“我的观点是...”，可怕的是，部分学生通篇文章下来，到处可见的只有"I think...",最多偶尔加个“I believe...”使得文章显得索然无味，其实，用以表达观点的句式并不少，只要稍微变换一下句型即可，比如：I hold the view that…； From my perspective,+内容; As far as I am concerned, +内容; My firm belief locates in that…等等。 此外，既然是formal writing，句式就不宜过于简单。过于重复的简单句叠加会让批卷的老师形成该学生英语水平不高的印象。适当使用从句、分句，简单句和复杂句交替使用，方能写成一篇好文章。 在已经具备良好结构和多样词汇句型的前提下，清晰的逻辑关系就显得尤为重要。在我看来，逻辑关系在议论文中主要体现在两个方面。一是提出的论据和论点的关系，二是论据与加以支持的例子和理由的关系。只有这两层逻辑关系清晰，论据能充分证明论点，理由和例子能完全支持论据，才能使自己笔下的这篇议论文站住脚。 【第二部分：说明文】 说明文和议论文在许多方面的要求可以通用，尤其是词汇和句型的多样表达。逻辑关系上，对于说明文的要求就在于整篇文章均能充分说明自己想要表达的话题即可。结构方面，我最提倡的说明文的结构还是总-分-总，做到收尾呼应。第一段简明扼要指出自己想要说明的事物/事情，第二到第四段从不同的方面加以说明，最后一段总结陈词。 以我当时写作比赛的说明文为例，题目要求大概是几位来自国外的同学来你校交换，请从不同方面介绍你的学校，并对他们表示欢迎。在文章的第一段，我就写明本篇文章的目的，不仅对于他们的到来表示了欢迎，同时指出在本篇文章中会简要介绍我们学校以便他们能更好地适应这里的生活。第二段到第四段，我分别从学习（课程，老师和同学），生活（宿舍条件，基本设备）以及课外活动三个方面加以论述，最后一段进行总结。最终的成绩告诉我，我的文章在一定程度上得到了认可。 英语写作水平的提高绝非是一朝一夕就能完成的事，需要持之以恒的积累和练习。在这里，想提出五点建议，相信对于写作水平的提高有所帮助。 英语写作考察的是formal writing.然而作为native language是中文的我们，很容易就写成了中式英语。多读英语原著，熟悉地道的英语表达会对英语写作有不少帮助。此外，说不定无意中记住的原著中的句子就成了自己英语文章中出彩的加分句，这也会是意外的收获。 无疑，英语语法的学习是枯燥和乏味的，但不可否认，如果一篇文章语法错误连篇，其他部分无论写的多么精彩也无法成为一名佳作。所以在平时的时候多翻翻语法书，把其当作是工具书，随时随地查漏补缺自己的语法漏洞，掌握正确的句型表达方法。 正如前面提到过的那样，出彩丰富的词汇和句型能为自己的文章增光添彩。所以无论是是平时课堂学习，还是做课外延伸阅读，需要培养自己记录佳词佳句的好习惯，然后把它们以合适的方式运用到自己的文章中。 现在大学生阶段的作文越来越与社会接轨，比如我在前面提到的“冰桶挑战”，就是某一个时间段的热点。尽管文章的要求里基本会涉及某事件的发生背景及主要概况，但是事先对于相关事件的知识储备无疑会增强我们写作的信心并提供有力的帮助，这就要求我们在平时保持关注时事热点的好习惯。 俗话说，“光说不练假把式，”勤于练习能帮助发现自己的不足，以明确今后自己努力方向。麻烦有经验的老师指正修改是提高自己写作水平的有效方式之一。通过老师的指导，我们能获得更多的灵感，拓宽自己的思维，从而取得更大的进步。 最后，愿每个努力的人都能被温柔以待，愿辛勤的汗水能浇灌出写作水平提升的花朵，也愿这篇文章能给予你哪怕一丝的灵感。
