英语作文最为常见的习惯表达【热门19篇】

Dear Ms. Reinhart,

I am terribly sorry that I failed to arrive at BLCU last Friday. I hope

that this did not mess you up completely, although I know that you had already

made some special arrangements for my visit with you parents and friends. I am

very sorry about all that. I am sure you will be sympathetic, however, when I

tell you that my father is dangerously ill in hospital, and that I found it

impossible to leave for the visit when he is in this state.

My father was working very hard on his project on protecting the

environment. I know the project has come to a very important stage. He and his

assistants did not take regular rest for three weeks. Last night, my father had

a heart attack and was soon sent to the hospital. The doctor said my father was

in a very serious situation, and, he might need an operation.

24 hours have passed. Nothing has changed. I have to stay at the hospital.

I will let you know if there is any good news.

I am sorry again and look forward to seeing you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Williams

My mother is a teacher, so she pays special attention to my education. Before I went to primary school, she bought me a lot of novel books. I remembered that when the hot movie Harry Porter came out, she bought me the novel the other day. I was so surprised and read these books quickly. Thanks to my mother, she cultivated my interest to read successfully. I keep reading books every day, even though I was busy with my homework, I would take out the books to read some chapters before I went to sleep. Reading these books helps me a lot. I am good at writing and it broadens my vision. I can give my own opinion and other students admire me. Now I start to read the classic novel. Reading makes me happy and find my world.

我妈妈是一名教师，所以她特别重视对我的教育。在我上小学之前，她给我买了很多小说。我记得，当热门电影《哈里波特》出来的时候，第二天她就给我买了这本小说。我很惊讶，同时也很快看完了。感谢我的妈妈，她成功地培养了我对阅读的兴趣。我坚持每天读书的习惯，即使作业任务很繁重，我都会在睡觉之前拿书出来看一会。看这些书给我的帮助很大。我擅长写作，而且视野也拓宽了。我可以给出自己的见解，其他同学也佩服我。现在我开始看古典小说，阅读使我快乐，我找到了属于自己的世界。

[良好的阅读习惯高中英语作文

书面表达一直在历年高考中占有很重要的地位，而且相对于其他题型，书面表达最容易在短期内有所突破。下面小编为大家整理了英语作文的突破技巧，欢迎大家阅读。

书面表达在评阅时遵循语言第一位(语言高级)，内容第二位(要点齐全)，结构第三位(文章分段)的原则，也就是说阅卷老师最注重的是语言，换句话说是亮点，根据语言使用情况，亮点的多少而定出档次，所以同学们在书面表达中语言上的亮点是得高分的关键。

亮点一共有四种：

一、高级词汇和语法;

二、修辞手法;

三、有效的连词;

四、名人名言或谚语。

首先简单介绍亮点当中至关重要的高级语法，以及修辞手法当中的一些技巧的使用。

肯定不如否定好

修辞的使用在书面表达中算作很大的亮点，在高中阶段很少有学生会注重修辞的应用。双重否定也是种修辞，而且对于考生来说，只要稍加注意，可以在文章中设计双重否定的句子。例如想表达“邮递员天天准时到”，如果写成The postman comes on time every day，就不如变成双重否定，The postman never fails to come on time，就变成了亮点句，起到强调作用。几乎每个人对生活的态度都不同程度受到地震的影响，写成双重否定There was hardly a man or a woman whose attitude

towards life had not affected by the earthquake.应用类似的修辞会在高考中为同学们加分。

陈述不如倒装妙

在书面表达中阅卷老师喜欢看到的高级语法共有五种：倒装，强调，从句，独立主格和分词结构，以及虚拟语气。倒装是一种最简单易行的使句子呈现亮点的方法。在高中阶段只需掌握倒装的四种形式，足以应对书面表达，如何应用倒装，有很多方法和技巧。

否定词开头

如果写出的句子中有否定词， 例如I will never marry you. 不如变成倒装，用否定词开头Never will I marry you. 就算作使用了高级语法。其他的否定词，如not, seldom, hardly等开头后面的句子倒装都是比较好的句子。

地点状语开头

在很多年的高考书面表达中都有表达地点的句子，一个建筑位于什么位置，或什么地方有什么东西，都可以应用倒装。例如在2006年的全国卷中，图书馆位于学校的中央，Our library is in the center of our school.变成倒装就用地点状语开头：In the center of our school lies our library. 其他的例子，想表达河岸上有很多花:On the bank stand some flowers. 天空中繁星点点：In the sky hang little stars. 总之在想表达地点时就把地点状语放在句首后面主谓倒装。

这样做的好处之一是倒装本身就是高级结构，第二是倒装后把真正的主语放到了句子的末尾，后面还可以继续加从句，使整个句子再呈现更多的亮点。例如In the center of our school lies our library，which is between the garden and the teaching building.

Only+介词短语

例如在2007年全国卷中，让外教帮你找个笔友，有一句可以表达成只有通过这种方式我才能提高英语，这句话可以写成Only in this way can I improve my English.其他的例子还有Only by taking exercises can we keep healthy.

形容词+as+主语+be动词

例如Young as I am, I can manage it; Rich as our country is, we have a lot of problems. 2000年书面表达中：Badly injured as he was, he managed to take down the

car’s number. 还有其他的倒装结构，很高兴收到的你的来信：So glad am I to hear from you.在高考中要尽量使用一两个倒装。

主动不如被动巧

在近些年的阅卷中，发现考生在写作中很少使用被动语态，也许是受中文思维的影响，几乎整篇文章都使用主动语态。其实在英文中，被动语态的使用是很重要的。因为英语是一门客观的语言，而汉语是主观的语言，具体体现在英语中经常用被动语态，汉语经常用主动语态;英语中经常用物称或形式主语开头，强调一件事发生在什么人身上，而汉语经常用人称开头强调一个人发生了什么事。所以使用被动语态符合英语的习惯，如果能将整个文章中两个句子变成被动语态，就会呈现句型的变化，使整个文章句型丰富。

例如在2006年的高考中，很多学生在表达我们每次可以借五本书最多借十天时，都是用：We can borrow five books at most, and we can keep them for ten days.这句话如果写成：At most five books can be borrowed at a time and they can be kept for ten days，分数会更高。

分词结构不能少

在前文提到，在书面表达中老师喜欢看到的高级语法共有五种：倒装，强调，从句，独立主格和分词结构，以及虚拟语气。在所有的高级语法中，阅卷老师最喜欢看到的是独立主格和分词结构，其次是剩下的几项。但很多学生不知道如何在文章中使用这个最大的亮点。其实几乎所有的状语从句都可以变成独立主格或分词结构，时间状语从句，原因状语，条件状语等。例如条件状语从句：If such is the case, you should apologize to her. 如何变成独立主格或分词结构呢?学会下面的口诀，如果你的作文中有状语从句，马上可改成独立主格或分词结构这个最大的亮点。

口诀：一去，二看，三改。一去：去连词;二看：看主语;三改：改分词。

If such is the case, you should apologize to her.按照这个口诀来改，第一步，去掉连词if;第二步，看前后两句话的主语，前后主语不一致，所以要改成独立主格;第三步，改分词，is 变成分词是being，所以最后变成Such being the case, you should apologize to her.就变成了独立主格。

如果前后两句话主语一致，就变成分词结构，例如2005年高考书面表达中的一句话Because I am a student, I’d like to know the price for students. 改成Being a student, I’d like to know the price for students.其他想表达状语从句的时候几乎都一样。所以想表达由于，因为，如果等都写成独立主格或分词结构会让阅卷老师多给几分。

以上技巧有语文迷小编整理，看过后你真的学到了吗?

很多学生在作文时最大障碍就是用英语表达意思很困难。对于这一点，首先要树立信心。实际上，大部分考生都受过正规的大学英语教育，即使是一些自学的考生，其英语水平也足以写好一篇考研作文。关键在于要把这种潜力挖掘出来。《朗文词典》(Longman的Dictionary)的最大特点，就是用2000个核心词来解释几十万个词条，而且词条大都有几个义l项。由此可见，并不一定要用多么复杂l的英语来表达，也不一定非得添加一些高难度的单词以加深判卷老师的印象。事实上，简单的语言也能表达复杂的事物。著名的美国作家海明威的作品以其明白晓畅的语言吸引了千千万万的读者，就是一个明证。

There are a lot of annual public holidays in China, such as Labors Day, Childrens Day and National Day. But I think we should celebrate another holiday -- Farmers Day.

Why should there be Farmers Day?

First of all, China is a large agfieukural country. The majority of the population is farmers. Farmers play a vital role in China. They provide food, without which we cannot live. Also, farmers support industry with various kinds of raw materials.

Most farmers work hard from dawn to dusk, with little time to rest or entertain themselves.

Some people look down upon farmers because they think they do not do "mental labor."

I suggest there should be a Farmers Day to show respect for the 800 million farmers in China. This would help people realize the contributions farmers make to society and would raise their social status.

参考范文：

Recently, we have had a discussion in our class about whether parents are our best teachers. Some students agree to the point because they think parents help to point out their mistakes in their lives. They teach them a lot about how to live a meaningful life. What’s more, parents’ love helps to teach them how to love others. So parents are their most important teachers.

However, not all of us hold the same views. Some think that their parents give them too much love, and they are too eager to pass on their values and interests to them. Moreover, their parents sometimes expect too much of them, which makes them feel their goals too difficult to reach.

In my opinion, parents are our important teachers. But parents should also try to understand their children more and limit the generation gap.

篇一

The Chinese manners is differend from other countries .In China,people first meet to shake hands.When people eat,Besides soup,table all food use chopsticks.Certain foods can move chopsticks eyes.And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate.This is a sign of politeness.The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is.If you feel uncomfortable with this,you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.

Dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls,so this is not polite.Also,when the food is coming too slow in a restarant,people will tap their bowls.If you are in someones home,it is like insulting the cook.

翻译：

中国的礼仪是不同于来自其他国家。在中国,人们第一次见面握手。当人们吃,除了汤之外,表所有食品都使用筷子。某些食物可以移动筷子的眼睛。有时中国主人用筷子把食物在你的碗或盘子。这是礼貌的标志。适当的做法是吃不管它是什么,说它有多美味。如果你觉得不舒服,你可以说一个礼貌的谢谢你,离开那里的食物。

不要用筷子敲打饭碗。乞丐行乞时常敲打饭碗,所以,这也是不礼貌的。同样,当食物来了太慢,人们会利用他们的碗。如果你在某人的家里,它就像侮辱厨师。

篇二

At the end of the Zhou Dynasty,the area we now know as China had fallen into a state of fragmentation and conflict.While the Zhou dynasty had ruled for several centuries,several other states,originally feudal domains,tried to carve out their own kingdoms.The state of Qin would eventually emerge the victor and unify all of China under one rule for the first time in history.

Qu Yuan served as minister to the Zhou Emperor.A wise and articulate man,he was loved by the common people.He did much to fight against the rampant corruption that plagued the court-- thereby earning the envy and fear of other officials.Therefore,when he urged the emperor to avoid conflict with the Qin Kingdom,the officials pressured the Emperor to have him removed from service.In exile,he traveled,taught and wrote for several years.Hearing that the Zhou had been defeated by the Qin,he fell into despair and threw himself into the Milou River.His last poem reads:

Many a heavy sigh I have in my despair,Grieving that I was born in such an unlucky time.I yoked a team of jade dragons to a phoenix chariot,And waited for the wind to come,to sour up on my journey As he was so loved by the people,fishermen rushed out in long boats,beating drums to scare the fish away,and throwing zong zi into the water to feed braver fish so that they would not eat Qu Yuans body.

翻译：

周朝的末尾,我们现在知道,中国陷入了分裂和冲突的状态。而周朝统治了几个世纪,其他几个州,最初封建领域,试图开拓自己的王国。秦国最终将出现一个规则下的维克多和统一全中国的历史上第一次。

屈原担任部长周皇帝。一个明智的和表达的人,他深受百姓爱戴。他做了很多打击猖獗的腐败困扰法院——从而获得其他官员的嫉妒和恐惧。因此,当他敦促皇帝为了避免冲突与秦王国,官员们迫使皇帝让他从服务中移除。流亡,他旅行,教了好几年。听力,周秦被击败,他陷入了绝望和扑进Milou河。他最后的诗中写道:

许多沉重的叹息我绝望,悲伤,我出生在这样一个不幸的时间。我配合的一组玉龙凤凰战车,并等待着风,酸在我的旅程,他是如此深受人们的喜爱,渔民在长船冲出来,敲锣打鼓吓跑鱼,把粽子投入水喂勇敢的鱼,这样他们不会吃屈原的尸体。

Mathematics was too difficult for me, the teacher spoke so fast that I could not understand. I failed every math exam, my dad was very angry, he wouldnt let me watch TV, or let me go out, I was very sad. The math teacher always asks me to go to the office and tell me the problem. I am not afraid to make mistakes, because I can correct them. I keep practicing, speed up my problem, and dont forget to preview and review. In the most recent exam, I achieved excellent results in maths. A good learner has many good learning habits.

数学对我来说太难了，老师讲的太快，以至于我不能听懂。每次数学考试我都不及格，我的爸爸很生气，他不让我看电视，也不让我出去玩，我很难过。数学老师总是让我去办公室，给我讲题。我开始不害怕犯错，因为我还可以改正。我不断的练习，加快了我的做题速度，并且不忘记预习和复习。在最近的一次考试里，我的数学成绩达到了优秀。一个好的学习者有很多好的学习习惯。

[关于生活习惯英语作文

When pigs fly

猪可不能飞起来!这是不可能的事，因此正是成语本身想表达的意思。例如，当你听到有人说，"Do you think Mary will quit her job now that shes pregnant?"另一个人就回答，"Yeah, when pigs fly! There is no way she is giving up her career!"当他或她在使用表达方式 when pigs fly时，意思是Mary绝对不可能辞职。

Get in someones hair

如果你get in someones hair，你并没有爬到别人的头上!其实，意思是你烦扰到了他们-可能是你侵入了他们的私人空间。例如"Susan was trying to prepare dinner, but her children were getting in her hair!" 意思是Susan的孩子们在她做饭的时候烦她。如果有人烦扰到了你，你就可以说，"Get out of my hair!"

Hit the ceiling

天花板可离我们的头远着呢，那么要撞上天花板也不是件容易的事-除非你非常生气!如果有人hits the ceiling意思是他们正表现出非常生气的样子。例如，"When Carols son got an F on his report card, she hit the ceiling!"意思是Carol对她儿子考试不及格非常的愤怒。

Knock someones socks off

现在，要pull掉别人的袜子还有些可能-但是要knock掉别人的袜子要该怎么做呢?当然是通过让他们惊奇兴奋并印象深刻喽!例如，"You should see Toms new car! Itll knock your socks off, its so amazing!"意思是Tom的车令人称奇!

Bite the bullet

如果要试着咬一颗子弹味道会是怎样呢?不太好吧。那么为什么会有人bite the bullet呢?只有在勇敢的忍受或面对困难的处境时他们才会这么做。例如"She had to bite the bullet and give in to her bosss unreasonable demands."意思是她在老板提出苛刻要求时表现的勇敢坚强。

Drive someone up a wallpigs

车是不能开到墙上去的，那么谁能drive you up a wall?是惹你讨厌的人!例如，"My mom is driving me up a wall! She wont ever let me stay out late."意思是母亲不让我在外面呆得晚让我感到非常的讨厌。

es to habits， it is generally believed that different individual has different habits。 some people are addicted to habits like drinking and smoking， while others pay special attention to healthy diet and never taste things like alcohol and cigarettes。 at the same time， some people live their life regularly and are actively involved in all kinds of sports， others like to play cards deep into nights and everything around them is in a total mess。

it goes without saying that there is close relationship between personal habits and public health。 on one hand， good habits serve as the necessary basis of public health， that is to say， without good habits， public health can’t be guaranteed。 on another hand， infectious disease is the natural result brought by dirty habits。 a good case in point is that terrible diseases like aids and sars spread through individuals with bad habits who either spit in public places or dispose trash everywhere。

from what has been discussed above， i can safely come to the conclusion that it is high time we placed emphasis on improving personal habits and public health。 for example， going in for sports instead of sitting all the time， living regularly are practical ways to solve the problem。 in short， if you mind your manners and behave yourself well， the prospect we are looking forward to will be both bright and encouraging。

Dear John,

I am eagerly looking forward to your visit to our city. After all these

years of writing to each other, I can not wait to see you. However, I regret to

inform you that I will not be able to meet you at the airport on time.

The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning, and the

earliest I can reach the airport will be about an hour after you land. Will you

please wait for me in the arrival lounge? You can have breakfast while you

wait.

By the way, as we have never met I must tell you home to identify me: I am

of 165cm tall and have a long hair. In addition, I will wear a white skirt and

carry a China Daily at hand.

Hope we can meet soon.

Habits

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person doesa certain thing again and again, he＇ll be obliged to do it in the same way by some unseen force. Thus habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult and sometimes almost impossible to get rid of it. It is.therefore very important that we should take care in the formation of habits.

Good habits have many advantages. Going to bed early and getting up early makes us healthy. Diligence helps to succeed. Honesty helps:: win the respeet and trust of others.

If we form bad habits, such as rudeness, laziness, lying and stealing, we might be mined by them.

We ought to keep away from bad habits and try to acquire habits good for ourselves and others. ( 133 words)

习惯

习惯，不管是好是坏，都是逐渐形成的。当一个人反复的做某件事时，他就会被某种看不见的力量驱使不得不以同样的方式再去做这件事，于是习惯就形成了。习惯一旦形成，就很难、有时几乎不可能改掉。因此，在养成习惯时我们都应该特别小心，这一点至关重要。

良好习惯有着许多优点。早睡早起身体好；勤奋助人成功；诚实助人赢得他人的尊重和信任。

如果我们养成了坏习惯，比如：粗野、懒惰、说谎、偷窃，我们就可能堕落。

我们应该远离坏习惯并努力养成对己对人都有好处的习惯。

[我们的习惯英语作文

中国民间有“官三民四船五”的传统，官家的小年是腊月二十三，百姓家是腊月二十四，水上人家则是腊月二十五。我们北方地区的习俗是腊月二十三过小年，小年这一天是中国整个农历春节庆祝活动的开始和伏笔。

由于外国人不过小年，所以在英文中确实没有小年的准确词汇或释义，多数都是中国人来进行定义和描述的短语或翻译，孰优孰劣还需要您来分析了。

1.【xiǎo nián】

这就是音译了，看来这应该是最准确的翻译了，汉语拼音，哈哈。

2.【off year】

这一解释出于《汉英大辞典》，off year是目前使用最普遍的翻译，但是这个翻译却并不贴切，因为off year在英文解释中表示“非大选年”的意思，被中国人转义为“小年”，同时off year在英文中还指果树、竹子的歉收年，所以off year的译法与我们中国小年的祭灶习俗等活动完全是风马牛不相及。

3.【a lunar year (in which the last month has 29 days)】

这一解释出于《上海译文汉英大辞典》，意思指农历腊月是小建的年份，也就是说，农历腊月只有29天，没有年三十的年份。同时《外研社汉英双语现代汉语词典》中也有类似解释。

在《汉英词典》中出现的对于小年的解释：festival on the 23rd or 24th of the 12th month of the lunar year, when sacrifices are made to the kitchen god 意思是节日，腊月二十三或二十四日，旧俗这天祭灶

小年习俗的英语翻译：

4.小年的风俗 Off-year customs

小年除了祭灶仪式外，前前后后还有许多风俗。如扫尘、贴对联、剪窗花、洗浴婚嫁等。可以说“小年”是“大年”春节的序曲，在民间人们把这段时间称之为“迎春日”。

1)扫尘 Sweeping the Dust

为了迎接灶王爷，人们清除灶灰、扫墙，俗称“扫尘”。按民间的说法：“尘”与“陈”谐音，扫尘有“除陈布新”的含义，其用意是要把一切“穷运”、“晦气”统统扫地出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望和辞旧迎新的祈求。因此，到处洋溢着欢欢喜喜搞卫生、干干净净迎新春的气氛。

2)灶王爷 The Kitchen God

小年前夕，大街小巷的杂货铺、百货摊都代卖“灶王爷”像。这种木版水印的神像，大多来自“版画之乡”——天津杨柳青。那和蔼、肃穆、善静的灶王爷盛装端坐，给人以一家之主的感觉。人们都要“请”回来一帧新的灶王爷像(不能说“买”)，来代替陈旧不堪的灶王爷像。

3)写对联 Write couplets

家家户户都开始写对联。神灵前的对联特别讲究，多为敬仰和祈福之言。佛龛神像的两侧要贴上一副对联，上联写“上天言好事”，下联写“下界保平安”或“回宫降吉祥”，横幅是“一家之主”。因为紧靠春节春联也一并写成。民间讲究有神必贴，每门必贴。内容丰富，妙语联珠。

4)剪窗花 Paper-cut for window

所有准备工作中，剪贴窗花是最盛行的民俗活动。内容有各种动物、植物等，如喜鹊登梅，燕穿桃柳，孔雀戏牡丹 ，狮子滚绣球 ，二龙戏珠，莲年有鱼，鸳鸯戏水等。

5)洗浴理发 Bath and Haircut

大人、小孩都要洗浴理发。民间有“有钱没钱，剃头过年”的说法。

6)举办婚事 Marriage held

过了二十三，民间认为诸神上了天，百无禁忌。娶媳妇不用择日子，称为赶乱婚。直至年底，举行结婚典礼的特别多。

经过小年的扫尘，处处焕然一新。新贴的春联，抬头见喜。活灵活现的门神，保佑着平安。精美的窗花、五彩的年画和花团锦簇的灯笼，无不显示着小年之后，人们喜气洋洋开始迎接除夕过大年了。

【摘要】考研英语作文的评分，首先关注的就是单词、句子、格式的正确性。因此，在作文的复习中，不能只关注高端句型，正确的格式也是不容忽视的。

写作格式错误主要包括题目的写法、文章的格式、大小写以及标点符号等四个方面。

题目的写法

题目是首先映入读者眼帘的，所以要注意题目的书写位置。一定要在试卷作文纸上的上方中间位置书写。同时还应在话题和正文之间留出一定的距离，即比正文行距稍宽一些。

其次，要注意题目的大小写，实词的首字母一定要大写。其它虚词如冠词、连词（但如连词的字母多于5个时则大写)和介词首字母不需要大写。比如：

跳动的心（例子）

误：Attitudes Toward Money

正：Attitudes toward Money

文章的格式

1、四边留空：卷面的四边一定要留出适当的空白。这样的文章才能整齐、美观，给人以清晰、明快的感觉。

2、空格：文章的每段的首行一定要有统一的空格（一般缩进4-6个字节）。

大小写方面的错误

在考研文章的评改过程中，有关大小写方面的错误层出不穷，这是考生的一个弱点。一般来说，大写规则有以下几条：

1、大写每句话的第一个字母和直接引语的第一字母

如：He said,He is going to Shanghai next week.

2、大写专有名词，或用作专有名词的部分普通名词，通常是缩略形式

如：DrG .G . East

3、大写缩写字母

如：MPA ,MBA ,BBC

4、文章标题要大写

5、头衔在专有名词前要大写，在专有名词后就小写

例如：Captain SmithSmith, the captain；Uncle GeorgeGeorge ,my uncle

标点符号

考生在写文章时，一定要注意正确使用标点符号，切忌从头到尾只用逗号的现象。一定要熟练掌握常用标点符号的基本用法，尤其要正确使用逗号和分号。

三段式作文注意事项

1、作文卷面要保持整洁，不要连笔，不要涂改，这是获取印象分的重点。很多考生由于在考场过于紧张导致作文的单词老是写错，这是致命伤啊，会直接让你越写越没感觉就越没信心了，所以平常要加强练笔！

2、全文的第一句和各段的第一句必须是文章的中心句，最好能用复杂句表达。这是因为阅卷老师一般没有那么多的时间去看作文，所以只能大概浏览下各段的首句，这是获得高分的关键。

3、全文结构布局：全文分为三段，第一段3句，第二段5句，第三段4句，可根据具体情况调整。段落中，第一句是topic ，第二三句是detail ，第三句是conclusion 。

[考研英语作文常见的四个写作格式错误

修辞手法，就是通过修饰、调整语句，运用特定的表达形式以提高语言表达作用的方式或方法。以下是小编给大家整理的常见的几种修辞手法的表达作用的内容，欢迎大家阅读。

常见的几种修辞手法的表达作用：

(1)比喻：形象生动、简洁凝练地描写事物、讲解道理，增强语言的生动性、形象性、化抽象为具体，使人易于理解。

(2)拟人：赋予事物以人的性格、思想、感情和动作，使物人格化，使之更形象，从而达到形象生动的效果。

(3)夸张：突出特征，揭示本质，给读者以鲜明而强烈的印象。

(4)排比：条理清晰，节奏鲜明，增强语势，长于抒情，使语言更有表现力，更有气魄。

(5)对偶：使句式整齐，结构一致，形式优美，音韵和谐，互相映衬，互为补充。

(6)反复：强调某种意思，更能突出文章主题，观点鲜明。抒情强烈，富有感染力。

(7)设问：自问自答，引人注意，启发思考。

(8)反问：态度鲜明，加强语气，强烈抒情。

(9)引用：使内容更真实、准确、深刻、精密。

(10)反语：增加讽刺意味，使表达更深刻，更有力度。

(11)对比：形成强烈反差，加强读者的印象，突出文章的中心。

俗话说“千里之行始于足下”。英语书面表达能力的形成不是一日之功，必须从平时的课堂学习一点一滴抓起，持之以恒。

一篇优秀的英语作文在内容和语言两方面应是一个统一体，任何一方面的欠缺都会直接影响到作文的质量。然而，很多考生在写作中或者由于粗心大意，或者由于基本功不扎实而经常出现名词不变复数、第三人称单数不加s，前后不一致，以及时态语态、句子完整性等方面的错误。

1. 审题不清

如2004年中考作文要求写一项最喜欢的课外活动，有些考生将作文的主题定位为“我最喜欢的活动”，偏离了“一项、课外活动”这一主题。依据作文的评分原则，若文章内容不切题，则不管语言如何规范、用词如何准确，都会被判为零分。

2.拼写错误

拼写是考生应该具备的最起码的基本功，但在考生的作文中却经常能发现很多拼写错误。有拼写错误的作文肯定会被酌情扣分，而且有大量拼写错误存在的作文不仅体现出语言基本功差，同时也直接影响内容的表达，通常会降低作文的档次。

3.名词单复数问题

误 my father and my mother is all teacher。

正 my father and my mother are both teachers。
