新的HSC英语教学大纲中最大的变化之一是引入一个新的写入焦点模块C,恰如其恰当地命名‘The Craft of Writing’.
Common to both Advanced and Standard English, the module assesses a student’s ability to craft effective pieces of writing in relation to a given audience and purpose.
Unlike the other modules, the focus here is not as much on what you’ve written but more so a combination of what you’ve written andhow you’ve written it.
该模块在10月份举行的HSC外部检查块中大约20小时的课程时间,并在英文纸张2中的一个部分中进行评估,通过包含多达两个部分的一个问题。
What will the Module C Question ask me to do?
让我们来看看一个特别的一个部分,特别是来自模块C的标题。虽然我们在这里使用高级标题作为一个例子,我们将关注的是高级和标准的相同。

From this, we can see that within this module, you will be required to write in four different text types:
- 富有想象力的
- 话语
- 有说服力的
- Informative
Going by the Module C sections of sample papers put out by NESA (这里), you willlikelybe given a choice as to which type you will use. That being said, it’s just as likely that youwon’t得到这样的选择。
Don’t get too confident thinking you can prepare one text type and be fine for Module C in the HSC English exam! We don’t know what’s going to be in the exam, nor do we have anything to base exam predictions off (yet!).
与这些文本类型一起,问题可能包含一些元素reflective writing同样,但后来更多。
在本文中,我们会分解imaginative, discursive, persuasive and informative writing for HSC English Module C: The Craft of Writing因此,在您能够选择文本类型的情况下,您可以轻松地确定哪一个是您在考试中使用的最佳选择。
1.想象力的写作
富有想象力的writing is likely to be a text type that you already know well. Also known as creative writing, which featured heavily in the previous HSC English course in the form of the Discovery common module.
经常采取叙述的形式,富有想象力的写作需要您将情节,设置和字符组合,以创建一个简短的故事。
| pros | cons |
|---|---|
| - You have a lot of freedom here. As you are effectively writing a fictional text, you can pretty much make things up how you want to. - 您可以逃避您的语言更加休闲 - 您可以将其归因于表征。 - 您不必担心在您的写作中分析某些内容。 - 易于从自己的体验中写作,同时也让您有机会探索其他世界。 - Has dominated previous HSC syllabuses when it comes to creative writing - meaning lots of pre-existing resources you can use to develop a good story. |
- 至少在标记时可能是令人难度的主观 - 至少,它已经过去几年。 - 作为虚构的文本类型,您可以写的是几乎无限的......这意味着要欣赏一个好主意可能会相当耗时! - 比其他文本类型更为非结构化,有时可能会压倒 - 特别是如果你容易犹豫不决! - As many students (and teachers/tutors) are likely to already be familiar with imaginative writing, it may be a safe option. |
2.话语写作
话语写入是一个新的文本类型,以显示在教学大纲上。它包括创造性非小说,旅行博客,讨论论文,演讲和个人散文等形式。
The purpose behind discursive writing is for you to engage in adeeply relatable, thought-provoking discussionby exploring multiple perspectives on a topic. It is不是论证nor is it imaginative.
| pros | cons |
|---|---|
| - 有能力令人难以置信的个人;您可以编写和探索自己的真正的思想,意见和生活经历,而不是那些在一篇文章中看起来不错的人。 - 预期的写作风格是反映自己个人声音的人 - 不是作为故事的作者或作为散文主义者的作者,而是你作为一个人的声音。这意味着您有自由来编写正式和非正式的,成像性和实际上。由你决定! - You can leave it open-ended. |
- The amount of freedom you have in this text type can be intimidating. It’s hard to know whether or not you’re doing it right! - This text type is relatively new in the syllabus so you may not have had as much practice in writing it as you would have had with the other types. - I anticipate that, like imaginative writing, this one will also be marked rather subjectively. |
留在即将介绍的文章中,以书面写作和评分有人写作的频段!
3.有说服力的写作
You should already know this text type all too well.
有说服力的writing is writing that aims to convince its reader of a particular argument or idea. It can take the form of anacademic essay, personal essay or speech, 在其他人中。
在结构上,有说服力的写作可以与话语写入重叠。差异是目的的。
话语写作只是旨在探索许多观点;persuasive writing aims to convince the reader of the validity of one perspective.
也就是说,你不仅想写另一个英语文章。
Find a way, through language, to put your own personal spin on your persuasive writing. How can you bring out your own voice as a writer? How can you balance the persuasive with the creative?
| pros | cons |
|---|---|
| ——您应该已经熟悉写作珀耳斯uasively from having to write essays - this will help you in terms of structuring and in terms of using language. - Not as subjective as other text types (*ahem* imaginative writing). - You don’t have to think up an entire plot, setting or character - all you have to do is come up with a convincing argument. - 如果您已经在手头的话题已经是自以为值的话,那么这种文本类型将是一块蛋糕 - 如果您愿意,将其视为延伸咆哮。 |
- Hard to avoid writing yet another essay… - A lot more rigid than other text types - you don’t have as much freedom so you may not be able to get away with as much. - 易于模糊具有话语写作的线条 - 如果在问题中专门要求一个文本类型,这可能会对您工作。 - 因为你没有使用你的想象力,因为你可能不会从自己的个人经历中写作,这种文本类型可能会遇到一些对某些学生的无聊。 |
4. Informative writing
HSC英语街道上的单词是,这篇文本类型可能不会包含在考试中。
也就是说,在罕见的情况下,它仍然值得了解它is问道。
Informative writing is writing that informs its reader about a particular topic. It most commonly takes the form of reports, explanations or descriptions. You will be required to present specific factual evidence about a topic and may need to use precise language and technical jargon.
| pros | cons |
|---|---|
| - Can be incredibly easy if you know the topic well. - A good option for those who often get told that their essays are descriptive or that they contain too much storytelling. - Incredibly straightforward; you don’t need to use your imagination as much as you would in other text types. |
- It can be difficult to make informative writing interesting or engaging to read - especially if it contains a lot of technical jargon. This presents the possibility of alienating your reader. - 可能很难对您并不真正知道的话题来写入。 - You probably haven’t written in this text type for English since you were in primary school, writing explanations, recounts, information reports, procedures… how does informative writing look in Year 12? |
So there you have it! The four main text types for Craft of Writing broken down and assessed according to their pros and cons.
实际上,没有一种文本类型将以其他文本类型为准。
