自考综合英语二作文题大全

依照本人自考考试经验，每次考试作文题都不会极难，只要知道课文基本内容，文中出现人物性格，或者议论文关键句子，一些outline，关键单词就不会有什么问题。比较难议论文都不太会考（但不代表完全不会考，以下包含了31课全作文资料，全都准备就万无一失）

常见一些语句：
from my point of view…
for one thing…，for another…
…play an important part/role in…
等…（假如为了应负考试话记住一组常见短语既可，当然你掌握越多越好咯~）能够在平时课文里累积.
假如实在写不出为了凑字数话能够选择相同意思可是单词数较多短语，比如 because 就能够用 on account of 都有因为意思，等等.
较高分作文要求：短句、长句、从句结合。词汇尽可能丰富，句子结构能够用一些倒装句或者强调句。不要过多用简单句。适当加一些适合形容词副词来修饰。文章语句通顺，结构分明（能够分段写）。

重点文章（往年重复考文章）为红色标识
不太可能考为蓝色标识（不代表完全不考，可能性比较小而已）
希望大家还是脚踏实地地把每课课后写作练习做一遍，参考一些往年例文，这些都有很大实践性益处。
祝大家考试顺利！
