大学英语写作常用句型【精选20篇】

There be 结构是英语中陈述事物客观存的常用句型，表示“有”，其确切含义是“存在”there 作为引导词，本身没有意义，用动词be的某些形式作为谓语动词，它的主语是用一些表示泛指或不定特指的名词词组，动词be和 主语的数必须一致。句子最后通常为表示地点和时间的状语。因此要表达“某个地方或某个时间存在什么事物或人”的时候常用“There be + 名词+ 地点(时间)这一句型。例如：

There is a great Italian deli across the street.

穿过街道，有一家大的意大利熟食店。

There are some students in the dormitory.

在宿舍里有一些学生。

一、“There be”后面可以跟名词或动名词

在“There be +主语+状语"的句型中, 作主语的名词一般是非限定的,常是泛指而不是特指, 故一般不用this, that, these, those 等词修饰, 修饰主语的一般应该是不定冠词、零冠词、基数词或a, an, some, any, no, several, many, much, a few, a little, another, a lot of, enough等非特指的词汇。请看下面例句:

There is a shop at the corner.

在拐角处有家商店。

There are two books on the desk.

课桌上有两本书。

There are many sheep bleating in the field.

田里有许多绵羊在叫。

二、我们也可以根据表达的需要, 在There与be之间用上恰当的情态动词can, may, must, should, will等，构成: There will /may/must/can, etc. be...:

There will be an interesting talk on English next week.

下个星期有个关于英语方面的有趣报告。

My watch doesn’t work, there may be something wrong with it.

我的手表不走了，可能出了故障。

三、“There be” 句型还有扩展形式

在There be 句型中, 除be之外, 某些表示存在概念的不及物动词也可以用于这种句型, 这些动词大致是: live, come, stand, lie等。请看：

Once there lived an old fisherman near the sea.

海边曾经住着一位老渔夫。

There stands a big tall apple tree in front of my house.

我家屋前有一棵高大的苹果树。

Then there came a knock at the door.

那时传来了敲门声。

四、使用“There be”句型时要注意主谓一致

在There be引导的句子中, 谓语动词be的人称和数应该和它后面的主语(名词)保持一致, 当有两个或两个以上的名词作并列主语时, be的形式则和第一个名词保持一致(就近原则)。如:

There is a small river near the village.

村子附近有条小河。

There are two thousand students in our school.

我们学校有2000名学生。

There is a pen and two books on the desk.

课桌上有一枝钢笔。

五、There be句型与have的区别:

二者都表示汉语中的“有”。但是在用法上有区别: There be 句型表示“某处(某时)有某物”; 而have则表示“某人或某物拥有某物”, 强调主语和宾语的所属关系。如:

There are quite a few pine trees on the campus.

校园里有许多松树。

Each supergirl has her merits and faults.

每个超级女生都有他的优点和缺点。

We have ten copies, but we shall need more.

我们有10册,但是我们还需要更多。

六、There be 句型的转换

一般地说, There be 句型的基本转换还是比较容易掌握的, 关键要注意句型中名词的转换形式, 请看下面的例句:

Are there any boats on the lake? (一般疑问句)

There are not any students in the classroom. (否定句)

——Whats in the bag? (对主语提问的特殊疑问句)

——There are many oranges in it.

七、There be 句型的时态:

There be 句型没有语态形式, 但是却有比较复杂的时态形式, 以及可以表达不同的情态语境,请看下面的例句:

There will be a class meeting this afternoon. (一般将来时)

今天下午有班会。

There was a football match in our school yesterday. (一般过去时)

1 写

写作写作，第一步首先是写!可以拿考题多加练习。

2 仔细对比

第二个就是仔细对比，写完后对照范文从三个方面去研究：第一个是内容，也就是构思和原文有何区别;第二个是语言，也就是用词、用句和原文有何区别?第三个是结构，就是你的行文思路和原文有什么区别?写作的区别其实就是写作的弱点。

3 背诵

第三步骤就是背诵：也就是可以去背诵一些范文。有的同学说了，范文我背过了，但是写作的时候还是不会写。有两个原因，第一个原因是你背得不熟，背得结结巴巴，还不如不背;第二个原因是没有练过，只是死记硬背。背到什么程度，我们讲，有12个字“滚瓜烂熟、脱口而出、多多益善。”要背到不需要去想，不需要去动脑子!如果背一篇文章还需要去想，那就证明还背得不熟。大家上考场，如果能想起平时的70%，那已经是相当不错了。所以一定要背熟，这就是第三个步骤。

4 默写

第四个步骤就是默写：背熟后把书合上，把这篇文章默写下来。默写后，做一个工作：仔细对比原文发现写作弱点，你会发现你默写的文章和原文会有一些出入。包括拼写、语法、标点，这种错误就是你写作的弱点，把这些错误用红笔标出来。大家为什么写作拿不到高分，根源只有一个——错误太多。很多错误自己都不知道。

5 仿写

第五个步骤就是仿写：什么叫仿写?就是模仿你背过的文章再写出一篇新文章。在背完一篇文章后，要想想这篇文章有什么精彩的词组、词汇和句型可以使用。然后换一个话题，把这篇作文用一下，用里面词汇、词组和句型去构思另一篇文章。

标题是文章的眉目：要以全部或不同的侧面体现作者的写作意图、文章的主旨。

毕业论文的标题一般分为总标题、副标题、分标题几种。

* (1)总标题

总标题是文章总体内容的体现。常见的写法有：

* ①揭示课题的实质。这种形式的标题，高度概括全文内容，往往就是文章的中心论点。它具有高度的明确性，便于读者把握全文内容的核心。诸如此类的标题很多，也很普遍。如“关于保险资金运用模式问题”、“保险利益论”、“机动车辆保险改革之我见”等。

* ②提问式。这类标题用设问句的方式，隐去要回答的内容，实际上作者的观点是十分明确的，只不过语意婉转，需要读者加以思考罢了。这种形式的标题因其观点含蓄，容易激起读者的注意。如“雇主责任保险没有市场吗?”。

* ③交代内容范围。这种形式的标题，从其本身的角度看，看不出作者所指的观点，只是对文章内容的范围做出限定。拟定这种标题，一方面是文章的主要论点难以用一句简短的话加以归纳;另一方面，交代文章内容的范围，可引起同仁读者的注意，以求引起共鸣。这种形式的标题也较普遍。如“试论机动车辆第三者责任强制保险制度”、“论寿险公司‘产销分离’的利弊”等。

* ④用判断句式。这种形式的标题给予全文内容的限定，可伸可缩，具有很大的灵活性。文章研究对象是具体的，面较小，但引申的思想又须有很强的概括性，面较宽。这种从小处着眼，大处着手的标题，有利于科学思维和科学研究的拓展。如“从费率的自由化看保险市场改革与监管”、“法律完善与责任保险”等。

⑤用形象化的语句。如《激励人心的营销管理体制》、《中国健康保险史上的曙光》等。

标题的样式还有多种，作者可以在实践中大胆创新。

* (2)副标题和分标题

*为了点明论文的研究对象、研究内容、研究目的，对总标题加以补充、解说，有的论文还可以加副标题。特别是一些商榷性的论文，一般都有一个副标题，如在总标题下方，添上“与××商榷”之类的副标题。

另外，为了强调论文所研究的某个侧重面，也可以加副标题。如《如何看待现阶段营销人员报酬的差别——兼谈个人所得税的合理性》。

需要注意的是：无论采用哪种形式，都要紧扣所属层次的内容，以及上文与下文的联系紧密性。

标题的要求：一要明确。二要简炼。三要新颖。

一、认真审题，切中题意

《中考考试说明》指出，书面表达要切中题意。看到考题后，先不要急于动笔，要仔细看清题目要求的内容，在自己的头脑中构思出一个框架或画面，确定短文的中心思想，不要匆匆下笔，看懂题意，审清格式、体裁、人物关系、故事情节、主体时态、活动时间、地点等。

二、围绕中心，拟定提纲

书面表达评分原则有四条：(1)内容要点;

(2)运用词汇和结构的数量;

(3)运用语法结构和词汇的准确性;(4)上下文的连贯性。

由此可见，要点是给分的一个重要因素。为了防止写作过程中遗漏要点，同学们要充分发挥自己的观察力，把情景中给出的各个要点逐条列出。注意短文字数不要低于或超过规定的字数太多。

三、语言通顺，表达准确

(1)避免使用汉语式英语，尽量使用

自己熟悉的句型。几种句型可交替使用，以避免重复和呆板。

(2)多用简单句型，记事、写人一般都不需要复杂的句型。可适当地使用陈述句、一般疑问句、祈使句和感叹句。不用或少用非谓语或情态动词等较复杂的句型。

(3)注意语法、句法知识的灵活运用。(4)描写人物时，要生动具体，例如：①外表特征：tall，short，fat，thin，strong，weak，ordinary-looking等;②内心境界：

glad，happy，sad，excited，anxious，interested等;③感情描写：love，like，hate，feel，laugh，cry，smile，shout等;④动作描写：come，go，get，have，take，bring，fetch等。

(5)上下文要连贯。上下文的连贯性也是评分的一条原则，同学们应注意下面过渡的用法：①表示并列关系的过渡词：and，aswellas，or等;②表示转折关系的过渡词：but，yet，however等;③表示时间关系的过渡词：first，andthen，

finally，after，before，atlast，atthattime，later，inthepast，immediately，inthe

meanwhile等;④表示空间关系的过渡词：near(to)，far(from)，inthefrontof，beside等;⑤表示比较关系的过渡词：inthesameway，justlike，justas等;⑥表示对照关系的过渡词：but，still，yet，however，ontheotherhand等;⑦表示递进关系的过渡词：also，and，then，too，inaddition，moreover，again等;⑧表示因果关系的过渡词：because，since，then，thus，otherwise，so，therefore，asaresult等;⑨表示解释说明的过渡词：forexample，infact，inthiscase，for，actually等。

四、不会表达，另辟蹊径

中考作文给分是以要点和语言准确度而定，不以文采打分。造句越简单准确越好，造复合句容易出错，容易被扣分，阅卷场上有句话：“错误面前人人平等，文采好不加分。”如遇到个别要点表达不出来或难以表达，可采用变通的办法，化难为易，化繁为简。总之，所造句子要正确、得体、符合英语表达习惯。

五、锦上添花，量力而行

如果你还有时间和精力，想把书面表达写得更好，那么，请注意以下几点：(1)句型多样化，不要i(we)……到底，使人觉得乏味;(2)适当使用一些并列句或主从复合句;(3)进一步描绘人或事物时，适当使用定语从句;(4)适当使用分词或分词短语，烘托谓语动词;(5)偶尔使用一下倒装句，增加新鲜感;(6)适当调换一下状语在句子中的位置，使句子不雷同;(7)上下句子紧接时，其中完全相同的成分可以省略，以节省篇幅。

六、书写工整，卷面整洁

字迹要清晰，让阅卷人看得清楚，不可字迹潦草，难以辨认，要保持卷面的整洁。

七、检查错误

检查错误应从以下几个方面入手：(1)格式是否有错;(2)拼写有无错误;(3)语言是否用错;(4)时态、语态错误;(5)标点错误;(6)人称是否用错。

总之，只要平时同学们多练习写作并有意运用上述方法和技巧，合理分配时间，在中考时一定能写出高质量的作文，得到令人满意的考分。

The laba festival, commonly known as "laba", namely the lunar December 8, the ancients worship our ancestors and gods, pray for harvest auspicious tradition, some areas have the tradition of drinking laba rice porridge.Legend has it that day and the Buddha sakyamuni into way, known as the "magic festival", is one of the grand festival of Buddhism.

Somehow called "la" end of the month at the age of three: the meaning of the "la, also", combine the meaning of a new era (sui, etiquette volunteers record);The "la with hunting", and refers to the good hunting for the beast ancestor worship to god, "la" from the "meat", "the winter" is to use meat;Spring-heralding "three yue" la, pursuit of epidemic diseases, and the tradition of "Buddha into a festival, is also a" tao ", actually is the origin of December eighth day for LaRi, so to speak.

腊八节，俗称“腊八” ，即农历十二月初八，古人有祭祀祖先和神灵、祈求丰收吉祥的传统，一些地区有喝腊八粥的习俗。相传这一天还是佛祖释迦牟尼成道之日，称为“法宝节”，是佛教盛大的节日之一。

何故岁终之月称“腊”的含义有三：一曰“腊者，接也”，寓有新旧交替的意思(《隋书·礼仪志》记载);二曰“腊者同猎”，指田猎获取禽兽好祭祖祭神，“腊”从“肉”旁，就是用肉“冬祭”;三曰“腊者，逐疫迎春”，腊八节又谓之“佛成道节”，亦名“成道会”，实际上可以说是十二月初八为腊日之由来。

常言道，一篇好文章讲究“凤头”，只有开头吸引阅卷人的目光，才能保证所写的文章在考试中拿一个不错的分数。而很多考生的开头却难以逃脱“平凡的宿命”。在此，特向广大考生介绍两种最常用的开头方式，相信经过勤奋练习，一定能帮助大家在写作上有所突破。

一、名言警句开头法

这种开头方法所遵循的公式为：名言警句+描述背景+分析+总论点。例如，以“领导干部需以人为本”为总论点写一个名言警句的开头，我们首先要想一个与总论点以人为本相关的名言，接着描述当前领导干部政绩观的相关背景，既可以写积极方面，也可以写问题，或者两者兼顾，然后分析以人为本政绩观的重要性，最后直接提出总论点即可。参考开头如下：

【引用名言】早在两千多年前，《管子》一书中便指出“夫霸王之所始也，以人为本”，并指出“本理则国固，本乱则国危”只有重视人在执政中的地位才能使得国家稳固昌盛。

【背景】然而这与现如今不少领导干部对待群众的事却是“遇到小事不不处理，遇到大事往后退，遇到苦差事相互推诿，遇到好事冲上前”。

【分析】长此以往，必然会伤害人民群众的感情，脱离群众就会亡党亡国。

【总论点】因此，要想夺得人民信任的高地，就需树立以人为本政绩观。

二、转折递进开头法

这种开头方法所遵循的公式为：积极方面+消极方面+分析+总论点。例如，以“让中华文化大放异彩”为总论点写一个转折递进的开头，我们可以按照公式的指导来写。首先描述文化的积极方面，然后跟上文化消极方面的描述，紧接着对于文化的重要作用做简要分析，最后得出文章总论点。参考开头如下：

【积极方面】文化是民族的血脉，是人民精神的家园。我国拥有绚丽多彩的文化宝库，灵动的山水画耀眼夺目，铿锵的击缶音震动天地，整齐的活字印刷摄入心魂。

【消极方面】然而，我们也应该看到当下存在挥之不去的文化烦恼，人民对文化需求的增长已非文化的自然增长可以满足;欧美日韩文化的一拥而入使少数人失去了文化自信。

【分析】文化是彰显民族个性，提升民族国际影响力的重要因素。

【总论点】因此，当务之急是让中华文化大放异彩。

在用此种方法写开头的时候考生也需要注意一个问题，在描述积极方面的时候切忌“万能的积极”，很多考生无论消极方面写的是什么，积极方面永远一成不变的写：“改革开放以来，随着我国经济快速发展，取得了举世瞩目的伟大成就……”，十分死板且陈词滥调。建议考生积极方面和消极方面最好是描述同一领域同一话题。比如上述例子积极方面描述的是我国文化内涵丰富，消极方面描述的是我国文化面临的问题。

文章写作是灵活多变的，书山有路勤为径，相信只要大家认真揣摩，勤于动笔，一定会取得显著进步!

As a college student, I want to make some little money, because I want to prove that I can live by my own as a grow-up. The part-time job is my best choice, because I have a lot of time and I can make use of it. But doing a part-time is not just to make money, but also to learn from the experience.

作为一名大学生，我想要挣一些钱，因为我想要证明作为成年人，我也能自己养活自己。兼职就是我最好的选择，因为我有很多的时间，可以充分利用。但是做兼职不仅仅是为了挣钱，也是为了学习经验。

When choosing a part-time job, we’d better make the wise choice. First, we can choose the job that has something relate with our future job, so that we can have the work experience. Such as if I want to be a teacher in the future, then I can choose to be a tutor, so when I find the job as my career, I will be competitive. Second, part-time should not spend students’ too much time, because it is students’ main duty to learn knowledge, so that the time for the part-time job better to be on the weekends.

当选择一份兼职时，我们最好最明智的选择。第一，我们可以选择和我们将来要从事的工作有关的兼职，这样我们就会有工作经验。比如我将来想成为一名教师，然后我可以选择成为家教，这样在我找将来的工作的时候，就会有竞争力。第二，兼职不该花费学生太多的精力，因为学生的主要职责是学习知识，所以做兼职的时间最好是在周末。

Doing the part-time job is good for college students, they will gain the working experience and prepare for the future. They need to choose the right job.

做兼职对大学生是有好处的，他们会得到工作经验，为将来做准备。他们需要选择正确的工作。

说明文是阐述事物的特征、本质、性能、结构、用途或科学原理的一种文体。其说明的对象可以是具体的，如：自然环境，仪表设备等；也可以是抽象的，如概念定律等。以下是小编整理的初中英语说明文写作要点，欢迎阅读！

说明文的写作相对于论说文来说，有一定的套路可循，因此不是十分复杂。说明科技方面的内容常用定义法、比较对比法、分类法、因果法等；说明自然环境方面的内容常用时间次序法、分类法等。当然，随着对象的不同，具体应该采用的方法也会有所不同。

说明文的写作应该注意的事项有下面几点：

1.语言简明扼要，通俗易懂，避免夸张华丽的辞藻，要把真实的一面展现在读者面前。

2.说明时一定要把握一个中心主题。说明文中细枝末节较多，但不能喧宾夺主。

3.说明的次序非常重要。合理的次序会使文章条理清楚，脉络明晰。因此，练习时可以尝试不同的次序进行写作，找出最合理的一种。

4.由于说明文写实性较强，有时难免会让人感到没有生气。因此，可以适当使用一些比喻、拟人等修辞手段，来增加文章的色彩。

下面是一篇说明一所医院布局的文章。文章虽短，但需要说明的内容却达11处之多。平均一句话就要描写一处，如果组织得不好，便会给人凌乱的感觉。

为了避免这一点，文章把整个布局图分三部分来写：

贯彻医院的是main road，第一部分以大门为参照物，介绍了靠大门且通过main road东西相对的急诊楼和门诊楼。

第二部分以湖为参照物，中心线还是main road，介绍其他分诊楼、实验室、放射室等。

第三部分写main road尽头的建筑物。

这样，繁多的细节显得井井有条。因此，选择好主线及参照物是决定文章成功的关键。

Henan has a humid warm-temperate climate. Dry and windy in winter and spring, the province is hot and rainy in summer and bakes in strong sunlight during the autumn months. Rainfall averages about 600-1000 millimeters increasing from north to south, as does the annual temperature which increases from about 12.8C in the north to 15.5C in the south.

Henan province is considered the cradle of Chinese civilization due to its location on the Yellow River. This rich historic heritage has endowed Henan with numerous historic treasures, from primitive dwellings to earliest wheel thrown pottery. The remains of some of the earliest human settlements have been unearthed here, including the over 7000-year-old Peiligang Culture Site, the 6000-year-old Yangshao Culture Remains and the 5000-year-old Dahe Culture Remains. All these cultural remains have profound significance in the history of Chinese civilization.

Luoyang City has been the capital of nine dynasties since the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770BC-221BC). There are many historical sites to be viewed in Luoyang as well as the opportunity to purchase replicas of the famed Tang three-glaze horses. Luoyangs Longmen Grottoes, famous for its grand treasure trove of Chinese Buddhist statues, are located 12km (7 miles) south of Luoyang. First sculpted and chiseled around 493 AD when the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534) was moved from Datong City to Luoyang, the grottoes of Luoyang house an awe-inspiring collection of sculpted Buddha and other religious subjects.

Kaifeng, one of the ancient capitals, also boasts the following buildings worthy of a visit: Iron Pagoda (Tie Ta) of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), Dragon Pavilion (Long Ting) - site of imperial palace of the Song and Jin dynasties - and the 1400-year-old Xiangguo Temple which is one of the most famous Buddhist temples in China. Also on view in Kaifeng are ruins of the Shang Dynasty, an important part of human cultural and historic heritage. The Shang Dynasty Ruins, also known as the Yin Ruins, are famous because of the unique style of the large palace and its grand mausoleums, in which emperors of the Shang Dynasty are buried. The bronze vessels of the Shang Dynasty, which were both finely decorated and popularly used by the citizens of the Shang Dynasty, are well-known at home and abroad.
