一、高分作文评估标准
（marking criteria）
我们都知道在最后的VCE考试中，EAL的最终成绩将会换算成总分50 分， 听力占10分， Text Response占20分， 而Language Analysis则分为简单题和作文两部分， 各为10分。而最终的Study Score又将与全维州排名挂钩，实属复杂。
 
那么什么样的分数可称之为高分呢？我们可以将最终得分都归于以下三大类：

o High-range responses (分数占比90% 及以上, study score 45及以上)

o Mid-range responses (分数占比60%-89%, study score 为30-44.9)

o Low-range responses (分数占比60%以下, study score低于30)
 
澳洲各高校普遍要求学生们至少取得VCE EAL 30分的study score，也就意味着学生们的最终成绩至少在mid-range中。
 

二、高分作文特点
在了解了VCE EAL分数划分区间后，同学们一定对什么样的作文可以称为高分作文充满了好奇， 那我们就一起来看看不同分数文章都有哪些区别吧！
 
o High-range responses：
1.对书本主要人物，事件，社会背景和当世价值观能进行深刻的解读
2.能准确审题，准确运用文中论据针对考题进行严谨的论证
3.结构清晰，书写语言流畅且精彩
 
o Mid-range responses：
1．对书本知识有较为清晰的了解，能正确解读分析文章内容
2．能正确审题，在合适的时机选用适当的论据进行论证
3．结构清楚，书面语言少有语法或选词错误
 
o Low-range responses：
1.对书本内容有一些了解，偏于阐述故事人物情节而不是分析事件背后的主题和价值观
2.审题不够准确，未能用合适的论据来进行有效的论证
3.结构不清晰，有较多的语法及选词错误
 
不难看出，如果大家的目标是VCE EAL高分，【分析的深度”是大家所需要追求的！
 

三、作文节选大赏
以下分别是VCE EAL high-range responses 和mid-range responses的body paragraph节选，让我们一起瞧瞧到底有何不同吧！
 
o High-range responses：
‘In All About Eve, the world of the theatre is presented as a place of intense competition and intense relationships.’ Discuss.
Mankiewicz also presents the theater to be a place full of toxic relationships. The director foreshadows Eve’s mysterious personality using film noir in the alley way scene when Eve first meets Karen. The shifts of Eve in and out of the shadows implies that she is not truly how she appears. Which is later testified when her genuine identity is exposed to be someone with ‘‘unsatiable ambition and talent.’’ While she elaborately acts as a self-effacing ingenue ‘‘like a loose lamb in a jungle story’’ in front of Margo. This positions the audience to have a sense of how fake and untrue-to-heart relationships are in the theater. This is intensified through Eve’s relationship with Addison. From Eve trying to tell the others ‘‘I wish I never knew him, I’d like him to be dead’’ while needing his help to ‘‘notify every paper in town’’ to see her performance, to the even more toxic, inhuman ‘‘sound like something out an old melodrama’’ relationship where Eve ‘‘belongs’’ to Addison. These suggests to the viewers the struggles theater people had to face, how their connections between each other would be extremely unhealthy and the intensity and toxicity in the relationships.
 
o Mid-range Response:
‘Euripides’s character Medea is a desperate woman who is badly treated by a despicable man.’ Do you agree?
It is undeniable that Jason’s marriage to Glauce breaks her heart but it is not true that he treats her badly. It is a common thing at the time to have a second wife and what Jason has done is no exception. Medea knows it but chooses to take it differently, as his betrayal to her. Medea hurts herself by not accepting this common thing as her pride would not let her. Instead, Medea blames Jason for the crime he does not commit and hurts him in the worst way possible. Therefore, it is fair to say, that Jason is just a victim of her own drama inside her own head and he is nowhere near a bad buy who is ‘‘oath-breaker’’ and treats her badly.
 
从以上两段节选中，我们不难看出差别， high-range response结构更清晰，解读更深刻， 论据更合理， 语言更精彩流畅，整体更偏向于分析情节、人物背后的当时价值观，以及电影如何通过拍摄剪辑技巧来传递导演意图；而mid-range response则过重于讲述（retell）故事情节，而对于主题分析（theme analysis）反倒被忽视了。
