PET5写作：题型与概要

PET5考试简介

• 笔试１４０分钟，包括听力、英语知识运用、阅读理解和写作成绩的总和。

• 按权重换算至百分数，60分以上（含60分）为合格，听力部分还必须答对６０％以上即达到１８分，否则视为不合格。口试按５分制计分，３分（含3分）以上为合格。

计分方式

• PET5笔试试卷的采分点（原始赋分）：听力（30分）、英语知识运用（20分）、阅读理解（35分）和写作（25分）成绩的总和，总分110分。

• 关于分数权重：为处理好各级考试中题目数量、赋分与各种技能的考查关系，PETS一至五级的考试均采用了分数加权的办法。即对各部分题目的原始赋分分别给予不同的权重，使之能够平衡各种技能的考查关系。此外，不同级别相同部分分数权重的变化还反映出PETS对各种技能考查要求的演进。

• 听力在一、二级考试中较为重要，所以权重较大（25%或20%），在高级别考试中则权重较小（15%或10%）。写作在一、二级的笔试成绩中占15%或20%，而在高级别考试中则显得比较重要，占25%。在各级别的笔试中各部分所占分数权重如下表所示：

一级二级三级四级五级

听力 30%30%30%30%30%

语言知识运用 25%20%15%10%10%

阅读理解 30%30%30%35%35%

写作 15%20%25%25%25%

• 考生得到的笔试成绩是其各部分所得原始分分别经过加权处理后的分数总和。如：

某第三级考生听力部分原始得分为20分，经加权处理后的分数应为24分（20÷25×30＝24分）；

其英语知识运用部分原始得分为15分，经加权处理后的分数应为11.3分（15÷20×15=11.3分）；

其阅读理解部分原始得分25分，经加权处理后的分数应为21.4分（25÷35×30=21.4分）；

其写作部分原始得分18分，经加权处理后的分数应为15分（18÷30×25＝15分）。

该考生未经过加权的原始总分为78分，各部分经加权后的总分应为71.7=72分。

• On the Importance of a Name

有人说名字很重要

也有人觉得名字无关紧要

我认为……

• There is no denying the fact that it is a controversial topic whether names are important or not. Some hold the positive view. They claim that a good name, or a name that can be easily remembered, can bring one a lot more opportunities than others. Some Chinese may also believe that a name designed according to the traditional theory of five elements can bring good luck.

• Others, however, hold the opposite view. They argue that a name is nothing but a code to distinguish one from another. A person “good” name may not be as successful as the name indicates. In the same way, a person who has a common or casually given name can also achieve tremendous success.

• Personally, I believe that both sides have something right, so we should not go to extremes. On the one hand, we have to admit that a well designed name can help a person to some extent. On the other hand, we should not exaggerate the effect of a name on a person’s fate. Anyway, a person’s success mainly depends on his hard work and desirable personalities.

对策练习

How to improve student's mental health

大学生的心理健康十分重要

因此，学校可以......

我们自己应当......

• There is no denying the fact that mental health is of great importance to college students. Nowadays, many students in college suffer from mental illness, which severely affects their life and study. Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list. Reports are often heard that some students committed suicide or murdered their roommates. Typical examples include the case of Ma Jiajue and that of a girl stabbing her schoolmates.

• In view of the seriousness of the situation, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. On the one hand, due attention has to be paid by colleges to students‘ mental health. First, lectures on psychological health should be frequently given to students to prevent problems from happening. Secondly, psychological clinics should be set up to provide troubled students with timely help。

• As to students, we should keep the channel of communication open among ourselves and between us and our teachers and parents. Besides， in case of mental illness, we should not hesitate to go to psychological counselors for help. Only with these measures taken can we expect sound growth of college students.
