對(duì)文章成績(jī)不滿的處理方法

　　Have you ever been surprised by a bad grade on an essay or research paper? What a terrible feeling that is!

　　你有沒有曾經(jīng)為一篇文章或研究報(bào)告中取得不好的成績(jī)感到驚訝?那真是一種非常糟糕的感覺!

　　We can work really hard on a paper and turn it in with complete confidence, only to be shocked when the teacher gives it back covered in dreadful red marks and comments.

　　我們可能非常努力地完成試卷并充滿信心地交卷，卻被老師返回的試卷上那糟糕的分?jǐn)?shù)和評(píng)論而震驚。

　　How do you react when this happens? It’s normal to feel frustrated and disappointed, but you must avoid dwelling in a state of negativity. As hard as it seems, you’ll need to turn things around and move on to take a constructive approach. Don’t try to pass the blame to somebody else, and don’t get angry: neither reaction will result in anything positive.

　　當(dāng)這事發(fā)生時(shí)你會(huì)如何反應(yīng)呢?感到沮喪和失望是很正常的，但你必須避免總處在一種消極的狀態(tài)中。似乎很難，你需要扭轉(zhuǎn)現(xiàn)狀，采取一些有效的方法。不要試圖責(zé)怪別人，也不要生氣：這兩種行為都不會(huì)帶來(lái)任何積極的效果。

　　When you’re surprised by a bad grade, you must take steps to discover what went wrong and make sure this bad experience doesn’t happen again!

　　當(dāng)你對(duì)一個(gè)糟糕的成績(jī)感到驚訝時(shí)，你必須采取措施，看看哪里出了問(wèn)題，確保這糟糕的經(jīng)歷以后不會(huì)再發(fā)生!

　　There are a few ways to go about this.

　　這里有一些處理的方法。

　　Talk to the teacher. If you don’t understand (or don’t agree with) the comments that are written in the margins of your paper, you should definitely set up an appointment to talk with your teacher. During the meeting, be positive and open to the guidance the teacher offers you. He or she will clarify any questions you have and help you avoid any mistakes you’ve made. Teachers like to know that students are willing to improve. You may find that the teacher is willing to let you turn in a revised paper.

　　與老師交談。如果你不理解(或不同意)某些老師的'評(píng)論，寫在試卷的邊緣，你應(yīng)該找個(gè)時(shí)間約老師談?wù)�。在談話期間，對(duì)老師給你的指導(dǎo)要持積極和開放的態(tài)度。他或她會(huì)澄清任何你有的問(wèn)題并幫助你避免你犯過(guò)的任何錯(cuò)誤。老師希望知道學(xué)生愿意改進(jìn)。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)老師愿意讓你把修改后的論文提交上來(lái)。

　　Look for problems and patterns in your writing. Look over the comments you see and determine whether you are repeating mistakes. You may have an issue with subject-verb agreement, or you may be mixing up words that we commonly confuse. Identify any weakness in your writing and take steps to make improvements.

　　尋找你在書寫中的問(wèn)題和模式。審視你看到的評(píng)語(yǔ)，確定你是否在重復(fù)犯錯(cuò)。你可能犯了一些錯(cuò)誤：主謂一致，您可能誤用了容易混淆的詞。確認(rèn)你書寫中的弱點(diǎn)，并采取措施做出改善。

　　Take a deep breath and see the big picture. A final grade in a course is made up of many individual grades from papers, projects, and tests. Students must remember that some of the assignments carry more weight than others. For example, a quiz grade may count for 10% of a final grade while a test grade may count for 25% of your final grade.

　　深呼吸，看整體。課程的最終成績(jī)是由許多部分組成，從論文成績(jī)，項(xiàng)目，和測(cè)試。學(xué)生必須記住，一些項(xiàng)目比其他項(xiàng)目占有更大的分量。例如,小測(cè)驗(yàn)成績(jī)可能占期末成績(jī)的10%，考試成績(jī)可能占期末成績(jī)的25%。

　　Review your process. One thing that surprises students is the amount of work that should go into a paper. Some students are naturally talented, and they go through middle school writing great papers with one or two drafts. This changes as you progress into higher grades! Even the most talented writers will need to increase their number of drafts and rewrites to finish with a really good paper. And it is important to start early on your paper.

　　反思整個(gè)過(guò)程。令學(xué)生震驚的是論文撰寫中投入的的工作量。一些學(xué)生天生才華橫溢，在中學(xué)期間他們寫一到兩個(gè)草稿就可以完成高質(zhì)量的文章。但隨著年級(jí)的升高，即使是有才華的寫作者也需要增加草稿的數(shù)量并重寫來(lái)完成一個(gè)很好的論文。而且早點(diǎn)開始寫論文也是非常重要的。

　　Expectations will increase when it comes to formatting your paper, using evidence and good arguments, using transitions that make your paper flow, and tapping in to your creativity. As these expectations grow, so will the required time commitment—if you want a good result.

　　在論文排版時(shí)，期望也會(huì)增加。使用論證和好的論據(jù)，使用過(guò)渡詞句使你的文章流暢，并融入你的創(chuàng)造力。隨著這些期望的增長(zhǎng)，如果你希望取得一個(gè)好成績(jī)，你付出的時(shí)間也會(huì)增加。

　　Students must get used to writing multiple drafts. You should never turn in a paper until you’ve written at least three drafts!

　　學(xué)生必須習(xí)慣多寫草稿。當(dāng)你至少寫了三遍草稿時(shí)，你才可以提交你的文章。
