2、评分标准详解
“外研社杯”全国英语写作大赛以规范、公平、公正的态度对参赛作品进行评分。评分方式采用写作系统评阅及人工评阅两种方式。两篇作文分数相加得出每位选手总分。
记叙文
选手须完成一篇记叙文写作 (600—800字)。记叙文写作旨在考查选手的阅读理解、语言运用、细节描写、形象思维及创思构思、人文素养等综合能力。具体评分细则如下:
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," l said. "I don't smoke, so l 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.
l 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, crosse done cheek. He spoke nervously.
“Excuse my troubling you again," he said."May I walk along with you a little way? l 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.
