在大学入学考试之后,一些销售学习产品的公司总是试图做任何他们可以充分利用的数量的学者为了推销他们的产品。

In fact,its not easy for students to become Number One Scholars. Most of them succeed not because of the products,but their proper way of learning and hard work. Every student has his own way of studying,so the Number One Scholars experience may not be suitable for all the students. Most important of all,not all of these products are good enough to help us study.

事实上,学生成为一个数字是不容易的。他们中的大多数成功不是因为产品,而是他们正确的学习和努力工作的方式。每个学生都有自己的学习方式,所以,一个学者的经验可能不适合所有的学生。最重要的是,并不是所有这些产品都足以帮助我们学习。

篇4:2024高考英语作文高分技巧

全文共 3816 字

+ 加入清单

英语作文在高考中起着重大的作用,怎么样才能写好英语作文呢?下面是语文迷为大家整理英语作文高分技巧,希望对你有帮助。

一、了解高分作文的特点

要想作文获得高分,必须了解高分作文具有的特点,才有助于我们朝之而努力。高分作文一般具有以下特点:

1、书写工整,书面整洁,很少有涂改痕迹。

2、分段合理。全文分段一般不止一个自然段,让阅卷老师很容易就能找到作文所要求写的要点和重要句子。

3、要点齐全,不缺要点。

4、首尾呼应,自然成一体。

5、使用了大量的高级词汇和句型。阅卷老师一看就知道这个同学的功底非不一般,自然就给打高分了。

6、开头言简意赅,不啰嗦,不偏题,迅速引入主题。

7、段与段之间,自然过渡。有合适的连接词。

8、句与句之间,有恰当的连接词,使之自然成一体。

9、全文中同一个意思,基本没有重复使用某一个词、短语或者句型等,说明这个同学的词汇量不同寻常。老师自然就对该作文有好感了。

10、能够恰当使用谚语、格言等给文章添彩。

二、勤积累,巧准备

要想作文得高分,除了了解以上的特点外,还要在平时的学习中注意一下方面:

1、牢记课标词汇是基础

一篇作文多数是由积极词汇写出来的,这些词汇主要来源于课标。因此,牢记课标词汇是写好作文的基础。

2、掌握课标词汇和短语的用法

要想作文不扣分或者少扣分,有个要求是作文的语病少。怎么能够减少语病呢?这就要求我们在平时的学习过程中反复通过练习,掌握课标词汇和短语等的用法。例如,对于as soon as 、stop some body from doing something 、other 、another等的用法很多学生就经常出错。

3、高度重视同一个意思的多种表达方式

高分作文有个特点是:让老师发现你拥有丰富的词汇量,你的水平高人一筹。这由何而来?靠我们在平时学习过程中,逐步积累起来的。比如:今年的中考作文,谈的就是帮助他人的问题。同一个意思“帮助”,假如你就用一个动词“help”,岂不显得你词汇贫乏?假如你在作文中不断地变换方式,用help、give somebody a hand、 give a hand to somebody 、be in need of 等以表达“帮助”同一个意思,岂不更好呢?

像这样的例子很多,比如:大家都觉得很简单又很基础的“表示姓名的方式”就有:My name is Jim. I’m Jim. I’m called/named Jim. I’m a boy called /named /with the name of Jim. 等等。

表达年龄的方式有:She is 12. She is 12 years old. She is aged 12. She is a girl of 12(years old). She is a girl aged 12.等等。

很显然,使用高级一点的更好。

4、加强练习,积累经验

学习语言最好的方法是运用,作文也不例外。我们要想作文得高分,必须经常练习,才能提高水平。

5、充分利用作文范文

很多资料书上都有作文范文。诚然,他们有很多值得借鉴的地方。

我们怎么利用它们呢?首先,我们先不要看文章,自己先思考一下:假如你来写,你会怎么去写,会用到哪些词或者句子等。然后去比较,勾出其中的好词佳句,并且把它摘录在专门的作文册子上。供写作时选用。

另外,背一些范文也是很有必要的。

6、背诵一些谚语和警句

作文中如果出现恰当的谚语和警句,会有锦上添花的效果。

三、精心审题,沉着写初稿

很多同学看到作文后,下笔就写。这是不对的。一则很容易写偏题、写出病句,涂改后书面又不整洁,影响得分。

其实,会写作文的同学都知道,审题非常的重要,可以防止很多毛病,提高得分。那么我们审题要做些什么呢?

审题主要要做一下事情:

1、审人称、时态、体裁等

审题时,要求我们要弄清楚这篇文章主要使用的人称是第几人称,什么时态、什么体裁。这些问题解决后至少不会犯很严重的错误:全文皆错。例如,如果一篇文章,本来应该一般过去时,你的每句话却用了一般现在时态。你想想,那还能得高分吗?

2、明确必须表达的要点

高分作文有个特点是要点齐全。如果漏掉一个要点,则要扣分。因此我们必须认真细读其要求,把必须表达的要点勾出来。保证不漏掉任何一个要点。

3、罗列出可能会用到的短语、句型,确定好使用哪个?

4、确定好如何分段

就是要确定好,将哪些要点放在一个自然段里面,首段、尾段打算写哪些?

篇6:拯救物种高考优秀英语作文

due to darwins "evolution", man, willingly or not, has to admit that he is not descendents of adam and eve but rather a species equal to the monkeys, the cats and dogs in nature. although human beings claim to be the most sapient species, it is undeniable that they have a close kinship with the chimpanzees.in a word, we are animals, though more advantageous in mind than our wild or domesticated fellow living beings. but, is this a privilege of human beings to dominate the destinies of other spedes? sorrowfully, some people disregard the natural diversity and many species are in the danger of etinction due to human activities. no longer can the righteous people look on withouttaking an action.

human beings have always overrated themselves in that they assume they are superior creatures whose destiny is granted by god. in the early times, nature was antithetical to human activities. no longer can the righteous people look on without taking an action.

human beings have always overrated themselves in that they assume they are superior creatures whose destiny is granted by god. in the early times, nature was antithetical to human cultures. people set out to conquer nature: they plowed the soil for grains to feed themselves; they fought against storms and tornadoes to safeguard their properties; they made use of tools to eploit natural resources. this struggle against nature precludes the understanding that nature is so generous to humans and it is harmony rather than conflict that has made human lives so comfortable. if the ancestors had not found ways to cope with natural disasters and bucked up again and again in face of peril, it would have been likely that human race might have gone etinct on the way of evolution.however, as human beings get more and more used to the development in their own societies, they,on the contrary, contribute to a nature that is increasingly dissonant and hostile, where other co-eisting species are on the edge of etinction.

it is not the natural evolution, like the glaciers, that caused many species to disappear. it is human activities that is to beblamed. deforestation deprives many bird colonies of their habitat. water pollution destroys the natural environment of aquatic animals. unimaginable numbers of species have to migrate and in search of new habitat, and they die. gulls and other seabirds stranded in the crude oil from ships could not fly to collect food,they die. when furs and hides of cheetahs, rhinos, and crocodiles are sold at good prices on the international market, they die. the prosperity of human society is bloodily indebted to lives of other plants and animal species, yet human beings keep from saving the animals and plants. the money spent on protection of endangered species is money spent worthwhile. so is the effort and time. just imagine one day another intelligent species wearing the leather of human skin.

in the history of human civilization, people have always relied on nature to achieve something of value. fundamentally, we breathe the oygen released by the plants; we enjoy the ravishing beauty of nature in our arts;we even rely on animals to produce eperimental evidence in developing medicines. we owe too much to the plants and animals. it is high time that we did something to prevent the world from becoming a drab and colorless planet, with only the human species living in sheer loneliness.

注意:

1、对所给要点,逐一陈述,适当发挥,不要简单翻译。

2、词数150左右。开头和结尾已经写好,不计入总词数。

3、演讲稿中不得提及考生所在学校及本人姓名。

Good afternoon, everyone。

The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”。

Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship。

Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed。

What I want to stress is that each of us should listen to others。 Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them。 In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other。

Thank you for your listening!

observe a child; any one will do. you will see that not a day passes in which he does not find something or other to make him happy, though he may be in tears the net moment. then look at a man; any one of us will do. you will notice that weeks and months can pass in which day is greeted with nothing more than resignation1, and endure with every polite indifference. indeed, most men are as miserable as sinners, though they are too bored to sin-perhaps their sin is their indifference2. but it is true that they so seldom smile that when they do we do not recognize their face, so distorted is it from the fied mask we take for granted3. and even then a man can not smile like a child, for a child smiles with his eyes, whereas a man smiles with his lips alone. it is not a smile; but a grin; something to do with humor4, but little to do with happiness. and then, as anyone can see, there is a point (but who can define that point?) when a man becomes an old man, and then he will smile again.

it would seem that happiness is something to do with simplicity, and that it is the ability to etract pleasure form the simplest things-such as a peach stone, for instance.it is obvious that it is nothing to do with success. for sir henry stewart was certainly successful. it is twenty years ago since he came down to our village from london, and bought a couple of old cottages, which he had knocked into one. he used his house a s weekend refuge5. he was a barrister. and the village followed his brilliant career with something almost amounting to paternal pride.i remember some ten years ago when he was made a kings counsel6, amos and i, seeing him get off the london train, went to congratulate him. we grinned with pleasure; he merely looked as miserable as though hed received a penal sentence. it was the same when he was knighted; he never smiled a bit, he didnt even bother to celebrate with a round of drinks at the "blue fo"7. he took his success as a child does his medicine. and not one of his achievements brought even a ghost of a smile to his tired eyes.

i asked him one day, soon after hed retired to potter about his garden,8 what is was like to achieve all ones ambitions. he looked down at his roses and went on watering them. then he said "the only value in achieving ones ambition is that you then realize that they are not worth achieving." quickly he moved the conversation on to a more practical level, and within a moment we were back to a safe discussion on the weather. that was two years ago.

i recall this incident, for yesterday, i was passing his house, and had drawn up my cart just outside his garden wall. i had pulled in from the road for no other reason than to let a bus pass me. as i set there filling my pipe, i suddenly heard a shout of sheer joy come from the other side of the wall.i peered over. there stood sir henry doing nothing less than a tribal war dance9 of sheer unashamed ecstasy. even when he observed my bewildered face staring over the wall he did not seem put out10 or embarrassed, but shouted for me to climb over.

"come and see, jan. look! i have done it at last! i have done it at last!"there he was, holding a small bo of earth in his had. i observed three tiny shoots out of it."and there were only three!" he said, his eyes laughing to heaven."three what?" i asked."peach stones", he replied. "ive always wanted to make peach stones grow, even since i was a child, when i used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. and i used to plant them, and then forgot where i planted them. but now at last i have done it, and, whats more, i had only three stones, and there you are, one, two, three shoots," he counted.

and sir henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement-his achievement of simplicity.

We are very tired and sleepy all day, so we should learn to deal with it. What should we do to relax?

From the result of the survey, I think doing sports with classmates is a good way to relax. Because it’s good for our health and it can make us relaxed.

I also have three ways to relax ourselues. First, we can listen to music. Second, we can go to the movies with our parents on weekends. Don’t study at home all the weekend. Third, when we feel tired, we can think about something interesting.

I hope my suggestions can help you.Thanks!

有关“网络”话题

例1:报纸和网站是当今两大主要媒体。请根据下表内容,以“Newspapers and Websites”为题,用英语写一篇短文,简要介绍这两种媒体的优缺点。

报 纸

1. 传统媒体,天天更新,信息可靠

2. 携带方便,随时随地可以阅读

3. 仅有文字和图片

网 站

1. 新兴媒体,信息更新速度快

2. 依赖于电脑及互联网

3. 包含文字、图片、音频和视频

注意:1. 短文必须包括表中所有内容,可以适当发挥;

2. 词数:100-120

3. 参考词汇:更新update;音频audio;视频video

Newspapers and Websites

Newspapers and websites are two major new media in the world today, both of which can provide us with lots of news and information. But they’re different in some ways.

Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out daily with more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almost anywhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can only contain texts and photos.

On the other hand, websites are quite new and popular, especially among young people. Websites have not only texts with pictures but also audios and videos, which makes stories more interesting. What’s more, they are updated from time to time. So the latest news is always seen on websites instead of in newspapers. But it is not quite convenient for people without a computer connected with the Internet to get information from websites.

八:目前,一些诸如GG, MM, Xia Mi 等网络语言在青少年中极为盛行,并且出现在家庭作业报告,甚至全国入学考试的作文中。请你以“Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited (禁止)?”为题,根据下表内容用英语写一篇短文,并谈谈你自己的看法。

一些同学认为:网络语言生动、时尚,网络语言充满幽默与智慧,使网上聊天更快捷。

另一些同学认为:网络语言缺乏思想性,没有被大部分人理解、接受,过多使用使人不解,甚至误解?

你的看法

注意:1. 短文开头已经给出,不计入总词数;2. 词数:100左右

3. 参考词汇:生动的vivid;智慧intelligence

Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?

At present, Internet Slang, such as “GG, MM, Xia Mi”,has become popular among the teenagers.

There are different opinions on Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid, fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides, it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.

However, some other students think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Also, it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding.

Every coin has two sides. In my opinion, living in the Information Age, if we don’t know the Internet Slang, we seem to fall behind the times. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations.

篇19:以失败为话题的高考英语作文

全文共 1396 字

+ 加入清单

It is quite usual that one meets failures, for ones life can never be plain sailing. However, different people hold different attitudes towards failure. Some people think it a heavy blow to fail in achieving something and they can not endure failure. When they meet failure, they will be seriously dejected and can never pluck up their courage to try again.

However, others think it natural to meet failures in ones career. Therefore, they are psychologically prepared. When they meet failures, they will not be frustrated. Instead, they will continue to meet new challenges. As to me, Im in favor of the latter view. Failure is really a terrible thing but it is also the mother of success. If one draws lessons from failures, in most cases he will get success in the future. Furthermore, ones life can never be smooth sailing; it must be full of difficulies and setbacks. If one is daunted by difficulies and frustrations, he will always be a failure. However, if one holds a positive attitude toward failure, he will overcome difficulties and frustrations to win victory.

遇到失败这是很平常,因为人的生命不可能一帆风顺。然而,不同的人对失败持有不同的态度。获取某些东西失败对有些人来说是一个沉重的打击,他们不能承受失败。当他们失败,他们将非常的沮丧并且不能鼓起勇气再试一次。

然而,其他人认为,在自己的职业生涯中的败是很自然的。因此,他们的心理有所准备。当他们遇到失败,他们不会失意。相反,他们将继续迎接新的挑战。就我而言,我赞成后一种观点。失败是一个可怕的事情,但它是成功之母。如果一个灵感来自失败的教训,在大多数情况下,他将在未来获得成功。此外,一个人的生活永远不会是一帆风顺的;它必须是充满困难和挫折。如果一个人被困难和挫折吓倒,他将永远是一个失败者。然而,如果耸对失败持有积极的态度,他将克服困难和挫折,赢得胜利。

It isn’t hard to grow up into a responsible member of society。

I can well remember an incident that happened on a rainy Sunday afternoon。 I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light at a crossing when a girl of about ten was knocked down by a passing car, which drove off quickly。 A man immediately rushed to the girl to give her first aid and I joined in without hesitation。 Luckily she was not badly injured and we sent her to the nearest hospital。 Compared with the escaped driver, I am proud of what I did。

As a member of the society, I am aware that being responsible is what it takes to make a better society。
