全国大学生英语竞赛中的写作赛题主要是为了考查同学们的英语综合运用能力,其基本要求为:表达清楚、意义连贯、语言规范。作文赛题总分为30分,占竞赛题的比重为20%。可以说作文题是竞赛赛题中的重头戏,如果在作文题有良好的表现和发挥,对于整个竞赛成绩,会达到一个“四两拨千斤”的效果。
写作赛题共分为两个部分,即应用文写作与一般性写作。
【题型解读】
一般性写作词数要求不少于140,计20分。一般性写作不提供提纲也不给出段落的开始句,但会陈述一个事实,提供一份广告、一个图表或一个图片,要求同学们据此写出一篇作文。虽然叫做“一般性写作”,但其实一点也不“一般”,此题主要考查同学们的思辨能力及英语表达能力,即对所提出的问题、现象等进行分析,并给出结论。
【答题策略】
一般性写作要注意以下几点:
◆明确题意:对于20分的大作文,一定要花2分钟读懂题意并明确写作方向,一旦题意偏颇,则有可能万劫不复。
◆观点鲜明:题目可能会要求对于一件事情的两个方面进行阐述,但作为写作人,一定要尽早亮出自己的观点,然后再围绕观点进行阐述。
◆有理有据:一般性写作多数为议论文体,在论述过程中,一定要用有力的证据或数据来作为论据支持观点,既不能一味的论述而不提供论据,也不能只是罗列各种例子来凑字数。
◆语言组织:写作一定是要用书面语的,所以在写作当中,需要尽量避免使用口语化和非正式词汇。在描述客观数据及事物时,尽可能使用被动语态及静态等客观表达方式,少用主观性比较强的词汇和句式。

【例题范文】
Recent years have witnessed an increasing trend in international travel. It is so popular that traveling abroad has been recognized as a fashion lifestyle.
International travel is playing an increasingly important role in people’s lives. In the first place, it helps to introduce the country to foreigners. Moreover, it has a great contribution to the local culture construction and economical development. In addition, travelers visiting regions with rich heritage can experience local people’s lives. However international travel may also bring about a series of problems. Firstly, tourism may bring environmental pollution. Secondly, there may be misunderstandings between the visitors and local people because of the language barrier and custom difference.
But in my opinion what is more important is its positive side. We should make good use of the opportunity of international travel to enrich our lives and alsowe should learn more about the countries we’ll visit and avoid cultural misunderstandings.
