一基本要求
新颁布的英语教学大纲规定，基础阶段学生写的能力的基本要求为：能在阅读难度与课文相仿的书面材料时做笔记、回答问题、写提纲，能就一定的话题或提纲在半小时内写出120—150词的短文，能写短信和便条，表达意思清楚、无重大语言错误。
二评分
（一）评分原则
1. CET是检查考生是否达到大学英语教学大纲规定的四级和六级教学要求，对作文的评判应以此要求为准则。
2. CET作文题采用总体评分（G1oba1 Scoring）方法。阅卷人员就总的印象给出奖励分（Reward Scores），而不是按语言点的错误数量扣分。
3.从内容和语言两个方面对作文进行综合评判。内容和语言是一个统一体。作文应表达题目所规定的内容，而内容要通过语言来表达。要考虑作文是否切题，是否充分表达思想，也要考虑是否用英语清楚而适切地表达思想，也就是要考虑语言上的错误是否造成理解上的障碍。
4.避免趋中倾向。该给高分的给高分，包括满分；该给低分的给低分，包括0分。一名阅卷人员在所评阅的全部作文卷中不应只给中间的几种分数。
（二）评分标准
1.本题满分为15分。
2.阅卷标准共分五等：2分、5分、8分、11分及14分。各有标准卷一至二份。
3.阅卷人员根据阅卷标准，对照样卷评分，若认为与某一分数（如8分）相似，即定为该分数（即8分）；若认为稍优或稍劣于该分数，则可加一分（即9分）或减一分（即7分）。但不得加或减半分。
4.评分标准：
2分——条理不清，思路紊乱，语言支离破碎。
5分——基本切题。表达思想不清楚，连贯性差。大部分句子均有错误，且多数为严重错误。
8分——基本切题。有些地方表达思想不够清楚，文字勉强连贯；言错误相当多，其中有一些是严重错误。
11分——切题。素达思想清楚，文字连贯，但有少量语言错误。
14分——切题。表达思想清楚、文字通顺，连贯性较好。基本上无语言错误）仅有个别小错。
注：白卷，作文与题目毫不相关，或只有几个孤立的词而无法表达思想，则给0分
5.字数不足应酌情扣分：
*如题目中给出主题句，起始句，结束句，均不得计人所写字数。
*只写一段者：0一4分，只写两段者：0一9分(指规定三段的作文）
从1997年起大学英语考试凡写作单项未达到规定分数者；英语统考成绩即为不及格。
目前作文考试采用最低分制，具体计算如下：
（1）作文为0分者：最后考试整体得分一律不及格。
（2）作文分1一6分者：最后得分=除作文外统计总分－6+作文实得分。例如：
某同学除作文外统计总分为62分，作文实得分3分。最后得分=62－6+3=59分。作文在四级考试中的重要性由此可见。

Practice Makes Perfect
It is a famous saying that practice makes perfect．The truth of it is self-evident．The more you practice，the more skillful you will be．Moreover，you will find better ways of doing things．As everyone can see，practice helps us to beefficient．
When we study English，we have so much to learn，such as grammar，vocabulary．In order to learn it well，we need much practice．We must read a lot，write a lot and listen to a lot．Only through practice can we have a good command of it．Do remember to practice if you want to speak English fluently and express yourself freely．
Another case（example）in point（subject under the consideration）is typing.A good typist can type fast and accurately．But you will not be surprised at her performance if you know how much time she has spent practicing．Through practice，she has both her typing speed and accuracy to be improved．
It goes without saying thatpractice makes perfect．Since all of us have realized the importance of practice，why not put it into practice?
本文最大的特点是文笔流畅，例子得当。作者在文中用了大量的连接词，如：moreover，as，when，in order to，if，but，since等；第二段还了一个only开头的倒装句，收到了很好的效果；文章的最后一句与标题相呼应，意味深长。

Practice Makes Perfect
There is a popular saying “practice makes perfect”．This proverb tells us that consistent practice canresult inperfect performance．Practice is of vital importance in doing everything.
Let me take as an examplemy personal experience in learning English．When I came to the university two years ago，I had great trouble with listening comprehension．I had difficulty in understanding what the teacher said，let alonefollowing the tapes．This was obviously due to the lack of practice when I was at middle school．With the determination to improve my listening ability，Istarted to read Englishaloud every morning and listen to tapes and radio programmes every evening．My efforts paid ofand in the final examination of the first term I got high marks in
listening.
This proverb is alsoapplicablein other fields．It is impossible for an athlete tobreakthe world record without hundreds and thousands of times of exercise．A dancer’s graceful movements are attributed to constant practice．Therefore，whatever we do，we should persist in it and keep on working until we are successful.
这篇文章从解释谚语的意思入手，马上过渡到它在实际工作中的重要意义。之后，作者举出三个例子加以证明。整篇文章看，作者能紧扣主题，过渡自然，例子详略得当，说服力强，文句典雅通顺，是一篇考生值得模仿的文章。

Practice Makes Perfect
We all know that Practice Makes Perfect．But how to grasp its spirit is still a problem．When you first do a special job，you will find it is hard for you to complete it very quickly and correctly．The way to solve this problem is to practice．After some time，when you do it again，you will find you can do it better than before．It is because your practice makes perfect.
It is very important to remember many new words when you study English．At first，perhaps you can not remember so many new words in short time．Then you need practice．When you practice more and more，you will find it is not so difficult to remember new words，there is many rules in their spellings．The more you practice，the more rules you can grasp．Then you can easily remember new words．
For another example，if you are asked to play basketball，perhaps you've never toughed basketball before，perhaps you can not control the ball and can not shoot．That's not a problem. The success lies in practice．If you practice more，soon you can became a good p1ayer. You can control the ball freely and shoot precisely．If you don't trust it，just try it．
整篇文章表达思想清楚，文字连贯，但有少量语言错误，如：“in so short time”，“there is many rules”, “remember”, “toughed”等等。另外，文章每段的字数都差不多，在详略安排方面，明显不如上两篇的作文。

Practice Makes Perfect
I think nearly everyone of us knows the saying that Practice makes Perfect，but how should we understand it? Have you ever felt it in you everyday life? The saying put an emphasis on practice．If you have a good way to do a thing，you just need a lot of practice according to your method and you'll succeed．
For example，in our English studies，the saying is very useful. Howen clever you are or whatever a good way you are studying in，if you can’t keep on your study every day，the final result will not be satisfying．On the Contrary，I think the methods everyone takes in learning English will not have many differences．Those who finally became excellent in English are the people who had a good persistence and never stopped listening，speaking，reading and writing English.
The saying that Practice makes Perfect is verified in many things．If you observed carefully，you can find it in your everyday life．
此文表达的思想还比较清楚，文字也较连贯。不足之处是有的地方表达的准确性还不够，文中还有一些语言错误，如第一段中的The saying put an emphasis…是一个主谓搭配错误；第二段中的只Howen是拼写错误。

Practice Makes Perfect
It's often said that practice makes perfect．The saying means if you pay plenty of practice and make many efforts on one job，at 1ast you will get perfect on doing it and gain mulch experiences．
Generally speaking，It’s impossible for a person to get very familiar to each new thing initially．For example a for years ago，when you began to study English，you might feel unaccustomed，And even a very short word only including two or three letters is hard for you to remember．However，after study and practise year by year，you can now retell a rather‘long word including more than ten or even twenty letters with only one sight。What's more，in other areas of your life practice is imperative．We can hardly do things well without practice an preparedness。Therefore，we can say practice is necessary and can’t be ignored．
文章基本通顺，但有些地方表达不够清楚，如：第一段第二句和第二段最后一句；且有相当多的语言错误,有的还比较严重。

Practice Makes Perfect
“Practice makes perfect” often be said by people．It’s to say that if we do one thing many times then we can do it well．Although we may do it bad at once，but through sometimes we must can do it perfect．
So, The English learning is the same. In order to improve our English level we must do many exercises and recite many words．On other side，if we speaking more，we will learn English speaking better.
Other thing also like this，such as type．One typist perherps only can type 40 words in one mintue，at once. But through practice this recorder can improve to 100 words in one mintue．and some more perfect，they can type l50 words in one mintue. Therefore“practice makes perfect”suitable everything.
文章基本切题，但有较多的严重语言错误。作者的语言表达能力明显跟不上所要表达的思路。

Practice Makes Perfect
As we all known，practice makes perfect what's the means? I think it is said if you do more preactice，you can found a good method to do a11 practice easily.
For example，in the English study，if you do more exicise．remember more words．At last you will found all the exicise is easy to do．it seemed that you do it ever no matter how hard the exicisee．
Another. in the live of us．There are somebody who seemed can do everything what’s the reason，it just because they do it ever．They do the practice for many times so they can do it easily
So practice makes perfect.
文章句子不连贯，语法错误相当多，通篇找不出一个完整无误的句子,并且许多地方的错误还很严重。可以看出考生基本上还没有英语书面表达的能力。
