高考英语作文中经常会出现写信的题材，下面语文迷网为大家整理了一些技巧，供大家阅读。

一、题型特点

改写： 通常情况下，改写类的写作命题可要求考生将一篇对话、留言、信件、电话记录或其他类型的语言材料改写成一篇短文。也有的试题要求考生能够根据所给的提示(汉语或英语)写一篇对话。这类试题大多要求考生将试题所提供的语言材料的主要内容，以记叙文的形式表达出来。试题可以规定考生以第几人称的形式来叙述这件事情，并且规定了一定的词数。

缩写： 这类命题通常要求学生将一篇较长的文章，缩写成一篇短文。这类命题通常要求学生把握原文中的主要内容，并且用自己的语言将其叙述出来。这类试题一般都会规定词数的范围。

续写： 这类试题通常给出了一件事情或一个故事的开头，要求考生根据自己的想象，将这件事情或故事写完整，使其结构完整，情节的发展自然合理。

扩写： 扩写实际上是改写的一个方面。这类命题要求考生能够依据所给定的较为简短的语言材料，扩写成为一篇符合字数要求的文章。这类试题一般来讲也对文章的字数或其它的方面作出了要求。

回信： 这类试题所提供的材料通常是英语信件的形式，要求考生能够根据所给信件的内容及回信中必须包含的要点写一封回信。

二、 写作 技巧

1. 认真审题，把握要求。 在审题的过程中，应注意把握试题所提供的条件、要求(通常以文字的形式出现)、体裁、词数、人称形式等。

2. 细读材料，把握中心。 一般说来，所给出的试题材料都是围绕一个中心展开的。它讲述的通常是一个小故事或小事件。这个小故事或小事件就是这我们所要表述的中心。

3. 初步构思，考虑用词。 在把所握文章的中心后，形成一个基本的框架，再考虑使用恰当的词语，包括恰当的短语和句型，以充分地表达文章的内容。在用词方面，应尽可能地充分利用所学的短语或句型，还应注意适当使用高级词汇、复杂的结构等，这在近年的高考阅卷过程中反复强调了这一点。

4. 联词成句，组段成文。 运用适当的单词或短语正确表达文章中各个要点。然后使用正确的过渡词将单个的句子来连接起来。连接时，要注意使用适当的连接词语或过渡性语句，以使语句间的联系更为紧密，过渡更加自然。

导语：感恩生活，给予我酸甜苦辣，让我的人生千姿百态；感恩生活，给予我磨练，让我的生命春光灿烂；感恩生活，给予我梦想，让我的脑海拥有曙光；以下是小编整理感恩朋友的英语作文的资料，欢迎阅读参考。

The four seasons, flowers and flowers, life in the world, people are not alone. Because besides the parents, everyone has many friends around, we should be grateful to the parents for the grace, but we also have to be grateful to our friends. Because it is a friend that makes us feel the friendship of the world.

Kinship, love and friendship are the most beautiful emotions of human beings.

Compared with family and love, friendship is the most insipid of these three emotions. It is not like affection, nor is it like love. But friendship is the most powerful of the three. Many people can be your friends if you like, familiar and unfamiliar. Friendship, sometimes insipid and sometimes exciting, different times it has different beauty.

Friendship can travel through time and space. Decades of time, stone wear, decades of time, enough to make the world witness the beauty of the pale. However, friendship in the passage of time, but can be like old wine, the longer the more fragrant. The friendship of youth, like a brush painting, the pursuit of the details of lifelike, even if there is a bit of defect, will affect the effect of the whole painting. The friendship of old age is like a painting of ink and ink, and the pursuit of the likeness. They each have their own characteristics, but they will not fade.

A friend that makes us grateful, grateful friend call mind, like the earth gave us grateful friends bring us happiness like a flower, grateful friend like rain moisten our hearts, grateful friends like the cool breeze bring us relaxed.

翻译

四季轮回，花开花落，生活于人世间，人并不是孤单的。因为除了父母，每个人身边都会有许多朋友，我们应该感恩于父母的养育之恩，但是我们同样也要对朋友怀着一颗感恩的心。因为是朋友，使我们感受带人世间的友情。

亲情，爱情和友情是人类最美好的情感。

与亲情，爱情相比，友情是这三种情中最平淡的，它不像亲情意绵绵，也不像爱情那样轰轰烈烈。但是，友情是三种感情中最博大的。如果你愿意，许多人都可以成为你的朋友，有熟悉的，也有陌生的。友情，有时是平淡的，有时又让人充满激情，不同的时候它有着不同的美。

友情是可以穿越时空的。几十年的时光，足以滴水石穿，几十年的时光，足以使天地见证容颜的失色。然而，友情在时光的流逝中，却能如陈年老酒一样，愈久愈香。年轻时的友情，就像一幅工笔画，追求的是细节的逼真，哪怕有一点瑕癖，都会影响到整幅画的效果。年老时候的友情，就像一幅水墨画，追求的是神似。它们各有自己的特色，却不会褪色。

让我们感恩朋友吧，感恩朋友像大地一样赋予我们拨打的胸怀，感恩朋友像鲜花一样带给我们芬芳，感恩朋友像雨露一样滋润我们的心田，感恩朋友像清风一样带给我们清爽。

For the student who wants to improve his English quickly and learn about American customs firsthand, there is often an opportunity to live with an American family. There may be some disadvantages in this arrangement; however, I believe there are far more advantages.

First of all, the disadvantages may include lack of privacy and little opportunity to be independent. They will lose the chance of living on their own. Another drawback to living in an American home involves the possibility that the family may treat the student like a child. For example, the parents may want to decide who his friends should be and where he should go during his leisure time.

Even though there may be some disadvantages in living with an American family, the advantage far overweighs them. By taking part in a home-stay program, the student has an excellent opportunity to learn about American customs. Also, he will learn about many other aspects about American way of life, such as the way schools are run in the U nited States. And the family will no doubt make cerlain that he becomes acquainted with this new way of life, and soon he will feel at home.

中学生学习时间长、大力大，专家建议学生每天课后应采取适当的方式放松自己。为此，不同的同学有不同的放松方式，有的爱看电视，有的听音乐，有的做运动…请你谈谈你通过哪些方式放松自己并说说原因，谈谈你的感受。

The Senior High School Entrance Examination is coming. In order to make a success in the exam I think it’s high time for us to relax a little. Or we’ll be too nervous to work well in the exam.

In order to relax ourselves, we can turn to some of our hobbies, different students have different ways --- Some watch TV, some listen to music… But for me I enjoy taking exercise most. Whenever I feel tired, I always spend an hour (in) walking or jogging in the park. Besides, I also play table tennis with my friends after class. In my opinion, taking exercise can not only rest our brains and eyes but also help build our bodies. I think it’s really helpful to both my health and my study. I hope all of my classmates can join me in getting relaxed. I wish you all every success in the coming examination！

A persons life, there are many friends. If lost friends, will lose much fun! Now we are about to separate, and interactions of the two friends will also be less, so I want to write about them.

一个人的一生，有许许多多的朋友。如果失去了朋友，将会失去多少生活乐趣呀!现在我们马上要分开了，和我俩个好友的交往也会少了，所以想写写她们。

黄婷慧：一晃俩年过去了，我们已经认识了俩年了。记得当初，你转到我们班。由于你视力不好跟我坐。老师写在黑板的字你看不清，你时常问我，我也耐心的告诉你，就这样我们建立深厚的友谊。我们一起笑过，一起哭过，吵过架生过气，还一起搞恶做据。和你在一起的点点滴滴，我永远也不回忘记。

易媱：在我的印象中你的脾气很好，也是我们班名字改的最多的一个。我们在一起中会闹脾气。有时候看到你脸上的肉，我就会跑过去捏你的脸，你总是温柔的一笑，这笑容中包括的有友谊。

一路上都有朋友的陪伴，没有朋友就没有今天的我，真的感谢朋友分支持，也许我们会分开，但是缘分。

I‘ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair， looking at the ink bottle， pens， and white paper， I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later，during her final illness，Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”， she said， “is for Elizabeth”。

I never saw her angry， never saw her cry. I knew she loved me， she showed it in action. But as a young girl， I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”。 But she lived “on the surface”

As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.

I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

My hope turned to disappointment，then little interest， finally， peace——it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn‘t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it， and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

Now the present of her desk told me， as she‘d never been able to， that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work， I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside——a photo of my father and a one-page letter， folded and refolded many times.

Give me an answer， my letter asks， in any way you choose， Mother， you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

提起我的好朋友，一种敬佩之情便油然而生。她就是刘彦孜。她有一张娃娃脸，一排整齐的留海，一双小眼睛却炯炯有神，她经常笑眯眯的，走起路来腰板挺得直直的，可精神了。

说起她的第一个特点，她的字写得非常工整、漂亮。每学习一个新字，她都要认认真真地观察那个字的结构，然后再全神贯注地写。而且她还每天一遍又一遍地练习书法，写到她满意为止。

第二个特征嘛，就是她非常细心。去年期末考试全年级只有一个人打100分，这个人是谁呢?她就是刘彦孜，后来我向她请教经验，她说：“考试的时候首先要认认真真地审题，再仔仔细细地做，做完后再一丝不苟地检查。”

第三个特点就是她乐于助人。有一天老师叫我们打扫教室，我们便拿起抹布打扫起来，不一会儿，就把教室打扫干净了。现在可好了，教室干净了，抹布却脏了。我到水龙头前搓呀搓呀，可就是搓不干净。她笑眯眯地走过来对我说：“我来帮你洗吧!”只见她一手拿一个角，使劲地搓起来，把她的手都搓红了，终于把抹布搓干净了，她却累得满头大汗。

瞧!这就是我的好朋友刘彦孜，你喜欢她吗?

亲爱的台湾小朋友：

你们好！

我是来自家市五小六年级三班的一名小学生，我叫孙盛禄，今年xx岁。

我的家乡东北是一个美丽的地方，这里的春、夏都非常凉爽，不像南方那样四季分明。我十分喜欢冬天。

冬天的时候这里经常下大雪。我一步一步地走在雪地上，脚下面的雪软软的，身后雪地上留下的脚印好似跳跃的音符，又像童心写出来的诗行。雪花飘呀飘呀，轻轻地抚摸我的脸蛋，凉丝丝的，落进脖子里，麻酥酥的，我闭上眼睛，觉得自己就像一片大雪花……

家木斯的冰雪大世界也是冬天里的一大特色，晶莹剔透的冰雕使洁白的冬天不再单一，给哈尔滨的冬天增添了一道亮丽的风景。

我特别喜欢冰糖葫芦，远远看去一串又一串的冰糖葫芦好像一团火，看了就会是心里特别暖和，一口咬下去先是甜丝丝的感觉，在咬一口便是酸溜溜的感觉，吃了还想吃！

虽然我们相隔千里、素不相识，但我们的心是紧紧连在一起的，因为流着一样的血，因为我们有一个共同的家，因为我们同样是华夏儿女！希望你们能早日来到大陆，早日来到拜泉，早日让我们相会。

敬祝

身体健康

学习进步

你的朋友：孙盛禄

When I look at the old photo, I cant help thinking of my best friend, Wang Ying. At the age of five, I made friends with her. She lived next door to me, and was then seventeen years old. The twelve years gap in age didnt hinder our growing fondness for each other. She treated me as a younger sister of her own.

In school, Wang Ying was a 3-A student. She did well in every subject. But she never seemed to be proud of her achievements. She was hard-working and good-natured to younger students. I remember the little incident that took place two years ago. One day I caught a bad cold and had a high fever. I had to stay in bed. This prevented me from going to school. I was very anxious for missing so many classes when suddenly the door opened. In came Wang Ying.

“Hello, Tong-tong. How are you feeling today?” she said to me with a friendly smile. “Dont worry about your lessons. Now let me make them up for you.” Before I could say anything, she had taken the English textbook out of her schoolbag. I was so moved that I couldnt keep back my tears.

Wang Ying was a kind-hearted girl. Though she was the only child of her parents, she was not spoiled. She was polite to teachers and students, generous to her friends, and kind to the poor. She was always ready to give her pocket money she had saved to those in need without hesitation.

One day last year, on her way home, Wang Ying saw a little boy slipping into a pond. The boy was struggling desperately in the water. Seeing this, Wang Ying quickly ran to the pond while shouting for help. She jumped into the cold water to save the boy. With the help of some workers, the boy was finally rescued. However, our little hero, like Luo Shengjiao, lost her own life.

People were sad over her death. I felt something was missing in my life. For the happiness of the boys family, Wang Ying sacrificed herself. Her death is a glorious death weightier than Mount Tai.

TINY ghost—like dolls hang from trees， big plastic spiders sit on rooftops and bloody plastic hands reach out from gravestones…Are you ready for the scariest night of the year？

October 31 is Halloween， one of the most popular festivals in the US， Canada and Britain。 The festival began as a day to remember the dead。 But nowadays its all about the carnival atmosphere when people can enjoy dressing up and scaring each other。

Halloween is one of childrens favourite nights of the year。 They dress up as monsters and go to their neighbourshouses。 Knocking on the door they shout： "Trick or treat！" Of course， usually people give them "treats" － a like sweets and chocolates。 But， if you dont， you can expect a prank such as having your car windows soaped or your garbage cans turned over。

Halloween is also a time for masquerade parties。 Witches fly in on broomsticks， while ghosts and skeletons chat on the dance floor。

You can even dress up as a famous monster like Dracula！ The motto is： "The scarier， the better。" 。”

Even making Halloween food should be like casting a spell or mixing a magic drink。 In Britain， people drink "Witchs Mix"， made with apple， orange， grape and berry juice。 Children also enjoy "Halloween Worms，" made from egg noodles。 And how do you like the sound of "Eye—Balls"？ Dont worry， theyre made with scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream， shaped like human eyes。 Skeleton—shaped cookies are equally popular。

A well—known Halloween tradition is to make lanterns from pumpkins， called "Jack—o—lanterns"。 First， the inside of the pumpkin is removed。 Then， a face is cut into the pumpkin， traditionally a smiling， devil face。 Finally a candle is placed inside， and the lantern is put at the front of the house to keep evil spirits away。

Besides pumpkin cutting， "apple—bobbing" is another popular game。 Several apples are put floating in water in a big bucket。 Children have their hands tied behind their backs。 They have to try to pick the apples out of the water using only their mouths。 Of course， people get very wet and it is very funny to watch。

This year, because of the new crown epidemic, my mother and I watched the

first lesson at home. The most impressive is the story of Grandpa Qian Xuesen.

Grandpa Qian Xuesen is a famous scientist and aerodynamicist in the world. After

finishing college in China, he went to the United States at public expense

because of his excellent grades. After finishing his doctorate, he wanted to

return to China to work, but the United States disagreed. Grandpa Qian Xuesen

overcame all kinds of unexpected difficulties and finally returned to his

motherland, becoming one of the most important scientists in New China. Without

him, there would be no Chinese missiles. Without him, there would be no Chinese

manned space vehicles.

The modern life is becoming more and more colorful. The Internet is an important part of our life. It makes our life more interesting. Do you know about the most popular Internet tool? It named micro blog . It means a small blog. The differences betwwn them are the micro blog is simpler and more convenient than a common blog. The first micro blog website is Twitter. And it’s also the most famous in the world. Now many famous persons in different professions have micro blogs such as Han Han, Liu Xiang, Lady Gaga, Bill Gates and so on.

现代生活变得越来越丰富多彩。互联网是我们生活的重要组成部分。它使我们的生活更有趣。你知道最流行的互联网工具?它名叫微博客。这意味着一个小博客。它的差异是微博客只是一个普通的博客更简单、更方便。第一个微博客网站是Twitter(微博客)。它也是世界上最出名的。现在，不同行业的许多名人如韩寒，刘翔，嘎嘎小姐，比尔盖茨等都有微博。

Chinese micro blog has about five years of history. Though it’s very short,the micro blogs in China are popular with young people, especially we students. We students believe that micro blog is very useful, we can do many things by using it. For example, we can get news and information quickly. And we can write our feelings, our sense of life and some small things everyday on it, just like keeping a simple diary in 140 worlds or fewer. We can enjoy or upload photos, videos and music easily. What’s more, we can find or create a hot topic, and then talk about the topic with others online. How interesting!

中国的微博大约有五年的历史。虽然它很短，但是微博在中国年轻人中很受欢迎，尤其是我们这样的学生。我们学生认为微博客是非常有用的，我们可以用它做很多事情。例如，我们可以迅速获取新闻和信息。我们可以写我们的感情，我们对生活的感受和一些每天发生的小事情，就像是在写140字或更少字数的简单日记。我们可以很容易的欣赏或上传照片，视频和音乐。更重要的是，我们可以找到或创造热门话题，然后与他人在线谈论该话题。多么有趣啊!

Lots of my classmates and teachers have micro blogs. I also like using micro blog very much. I often upload my pictures and get some advice from others who can draw well. And it’s also a great way to learn English by using micro blogs. We can try to write three beautiful English sentences and then ask someone to modife them and teach us online.

我很多的同学和老师都有微博。我也非常喜欢用微博。我经常上传我的照片，从其他人中得到一些建议。用微博也是一个学习英语的好方法。我们可以试着写下三个美丽的英语句子，然后叫别人修改并在线教我们。

All in all,there are many advantages of using micro blogs, this can only give a brief introduction. But remember not to spend too much time on the Internet. Let’s surf the web healthily and grow up happily!

总之，使用微博客有很多优点，在这只能做一个简要介绍。但记得不要花太多时间在互联网上。让我们健康上网并快乐地成长!

Maybe you will surprise that my best friend is book. But you don’t need to suspect you hearing, it’s true, book is my best friend. I like reading since I was a child. The knowledge in the book makes me feel enjoyable and peaceful. When I am unhappy, I will go to find my best friend---book. And then I will forget the the things that make me unhappy and attract by the book’s content. From the book, I learn the story of Helen Keller, I know the history in the ancient times, I also know the culture of foreign countries that I have never been. Therefore, I think book will be my best friend forever.

也许你会很惊讶，我最好的朋友是书。不过你不用怀疑你听到的，这是真的，我最好的朋友是书。在我还是个小孩的时候我就喜欢阅读。书中的知识能让我开心，平静。当我不开心的时候。我会去找我最好的朋友——书。之后我就会忘记了让我不开心的事情，被书中的内容吸引住了。从书中我懂得了海伦凯勒是的故事，知道了古代的历史，还了解到了我从未到过的国外的文化。所以，我觉得书永远都会是我最好的朋友。

Music美国人的音乐爱好

James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans——even those without a musical bone in their bodies——have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."

一位美国早期的作家柯柏(James Fenimore Cooper)曾说：「美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。」如果这话曾经是事实，今日你绝不会这么认为了。大部份的美国人，甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人，都有自己喜爱的音乐型态。许多人喜欢世界各国的古典音乐和民俗音乐，然而美国其它的流行音乐则是「在美国制造」的。

Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and lifes hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins——also known as fiddles——give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee——Music City U.S.A. Country music even has its own theme park called "Opryland" where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. "The Grand Ole Opry," the oldest radio show in the United States, broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.

乡村和西部音乐深得很多美国人的人心，这种型态的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村小民们。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(violin又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳许维尔市——美国的音乐城市。而乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——Opryland呢!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目「The Grand Ole Opry」每个周末都实况播放Opryland的音乐。

Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as "The Jazz Era." This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the "big band" sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like "Rhapsody in Blue."

爵士乐是十九世纪末期由非裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。不仅演奏旋律，爵士音乐大师用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的高峰期出现于二○年代，该时期被称为「爵士年代」。这个时期创造出来的乐手有阿姆斯特朗(Louise Armstrong)，古德曼(Benny goodman)和埃林顿(Duke Ellington)。这些乐手稍后都创造了三○年代的「大乐团」之音。在不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，像是纽奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和坎萨斯市。作曲家盖希文(George Gershwin)更以像「蓝色狂想曲」这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界里。

乡村和西部音乐深得很多美国人的人心，这种型态的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村小民们。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(violin又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳许维尔市——美国的音乐城市。而乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——Opryland呢!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目「The Grand Ole Opry」每个周末都实况播放Opryland的音乐。

Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as "The Jazz Era." This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the "big band" sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like "Rhapsody in Blue."

爵士乐是十九世纪末期由非裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。不仅演奏旋律，爵士音乐大师用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的高峰期出现于二○年代，该时期被称为「爵士年代」。这个时期创造出来的乐手有阿姆斯特朗(Louise Armstrong)，古德曼(Benny goodman)和埃林顿(Duke Ellington)。这些乐手稍后都创造了三○年代的「大乐团」之音。在不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，像是纽奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和坎萨斯市。作曲家盖希文(George Gershwin)更以像「蓝色狂想曲」这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界里。
