【导语】英语写作是中考中检测学生语言应用能力的最重要部分。提高中考写作水平，需要有效的训练。下面关于英语作文的写作方法，一起来阅读下文吧!

学生写作时，如果语句平平，只选用一些普通的、直截了当的词，那么，这样写出来的文章根本没有可阅读行，就像是一碗没有油盐酱醋面条一样，让人提不起一点精神和看下去的欲望，呆板、单调，没有可读性。如果一篇文章要让读者有可读性、有深度，同学们更应该掌握一些高级点词和语句来装饰你的文章，突出这篇文章的彩头，使文章增添文采，给读者以不一样的感受。具体方法可以参照下面的语句：

1. 画龙点睛，一篇文章的开头很重要。

在通常情况下，英语句子的排列方式为“主语+谓语+宾语”，即主语一般都会在谓语前面。但若根据情况适当改变句子的开头方式，比如在文章的开始的时候写一些倒状语句或以状语为起始语句的开头，这样子的文章更具表现力和感染力。如：

(1) There stands an old temple at the top of the hill.

→ At the top of the hill there stands an old temple.

在小山顶上有一座古庙。

(2) You can do it well only in this way.

→ Only in this way can you do it well.

只有这样你才能把它做好。

(3) A young woman sat by the window.

→ By the window sat a young woman.

窗户边坐着一个年轻妇女。

2. 避免重复使用同一词语

为了使表达更生动，更富表现力，同学们在写作时应尽量避免重复使用同一词语来表示同一意思，尤其是一些老生常谈的词语。如有的同学一看到“喜欢”二字，就会立刻想起like，事实上，英语中表示类似意思的词和短语很多，如 love, enjoy, prefer, appreciate, be fond of, care for等。如：

I like reading while my brother likes watching television.

→ I like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.

我喜欢看书，而我的兄弟却喜欢看电视。

3. 合理使用省略句

合理恰当地使用省略句，不仅可以使文章精练、简洁，而且会使文章更具文采和可读性。如：

(1) He may be busy. If he’s busy, I’ll call later. If he is not busy, can I see him now?

→ He may be busy. If so, I’ll call later. If not, can I see him now?

他可能很忙，要是这样，我以后再来拜访。要是不忙，我现在可以见他吗?

(2) If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If it is not fine, we’ll not go.

→ If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If not, not.

如果天气好，我们就去；如果天气不好，我们就不去了。

(3) She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t do so.

→ She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t.

她本可申请这份工作的，但她没有。

4. 适当运用非谓语结构

非谓语结构通常被认为是一种高级结构，适当运用非谓语结构，会给人一种熟练驾驭语言的印象。如：

(1) When he heard the news, they all jumped for joy.

→ Hearing the news, they all jumped for joy.

听了这消息他们都高兴得跳了起来。

(2) As I didn’t know her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.

→ Not knowing her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.

由于不知道她的地址，我没法和她联系。

(3) As he was born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.

→ Born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.

他出生农民家庭，只上过两年学。

5. 结合使用长句与短句

在英语写作中，过多地使用长句或过多地使用短句都不好。正确的做法是，根据实际情况在文章中交替使用长句与短语，使文章显得错落有致，这样不仅使文章在形式上增加美感，而且使文章读起来铿锵有力。如：

At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Then we had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.

→ At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes and playing chess.

中午我们晒着太阳吃野餐。休息一会儿后，我们唱的唱歌，跳的跳舞，还有的讲笑话、下棋，大家玩得很开心。

6. 适当使用短语代替单词

(1) He has decided to be a teacher when he grows up.

→ He has made up his mind to be a teacher when he grows up.

他已决定长大了当老师。

(2) He doesnt like music.

→ He doesnt care much for music.

他不大喜欢音乐。

(3) He told me that the question was now under discussion.

→ He told me that the question was now being discussed.

他告诉我问题现正正在讨论中。

7. 恰当套用某些固定表达

(1) He was very tired. He couldn’t walk any farther.

→ He was too tired to walk any farther.

他太累了，不能再往前走了。

(2) The film was very interesting. Both the teachers and the students liked it.

→ The film was so interesting that both the teachers and the students liked it.

这电影很有趣，学生和老师都很喜欢。

(3) Your son is old. He can look after himself now.

→ Your son is old enough to look after himself now.

你的儿子已经长大，可以自己照顾自己了。

8. 尽量使句子带点“洋味”

(1) Dont worry. Be bold and try it, and youll learn it soon.

→Dont worry. Just go for it, and youll get it soon.

别担心，大胆试一试，你很快就会学会的。

(2) Thank you for playing with us.

→Thank you for sharing the time with us.

谢谢你陪我玩。

9. 综合使用各类所谓的“高级”结构

(1) Now everyone knows the news. I think Jim must have let it out.

→ Now everyone knows the news. I think it must have been Jim who has let it out.

现在人人都知道这消息了，我想一定是吉姆把它泄露出去的。

(2) We had to stand there to catch the offender.

→ What we had to do was (to) stand there, trying to catch the offender.

我们所能做的只是站在那儿，设法抓住违章者。

(3) If her pronunciation is not better than her teacher’s, it is at least as good as her teacher’s.

→ Her pronunciation is as good as, if not better than, her teacher’s.

如果她的语音不比她的老师好的话，至少也不会比她老师的差。

10. 适当使用名言警句点缀

在写作时根据实际情况恰当地用上一两句名言警句来点缀文章，不仅使文章显得有深度、有智慧，而且会让文章在评分中上一个“得分档次”。如：

(1) As the proverb says, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Though you fail this time, you needn’t lose heart. As long as you work hard and stick to your dream, you will succeed one day.

(2) There is a proverb goes like this “Life isn’t a bed of roses.” It is ture that it is likely for everyone to meet problems and difficulties in life.

(3) In the modern world, more and more people live alone, which is not so good for our life. It is better for us to make more friends and enjoy friendship. Just as a proverb says, “A near friend is better than a far-dwelling kinsman.”

南瓜灯(Jack-O-Lantern)是庆祝万圣节的标志物。下面语文迷网整理了关于南瓜灯的故事作文，希望对你有帮助。

One story about Jack， an Irishman， who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan)， so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

Well， Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip， hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern，" abbreviated as " Jack-o-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

关于万圣节有这样一个故事。是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人，因为他对钱特别的吝啬，就不允许他进入天堂，而被打入地狱。但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地狱，罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走。

在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”，他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛。为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节，孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物。这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”，缩写为Jack-o-lantern 。

现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚。在小学校里，万圣节是每年十月份开始庆祝的。孩子们会制作万圣节的装饰品：各种各样桔红色的南瓜灯。

少用关系代词

学会运用关系代词是你学习英文过程中的一个重要的阶段。学会少用它们则表明你取得了更大的进步。在校对你的作品时，仔细检查一下所有的which’s, who’s that’s和whom’s是否必要。删除不必要的关系代词会使你的文章更精彩。

Example:

Unnecessary: It is a truth that is universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

(用两个 that’s，读起来很别扭)

Better: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

-- Jane Austin

注：被动语态修饰的名词通常不须用关系代词。

Unnecessary: In 1970 India dedicated a nuclear power plant near Bombay, which was built with American assistance.

今天是一个大热天，也是我英语培训班的最后一天，今天我们要进行一场关于音标的最终考试。

奶奶带着我向学校走去，地上很烫，还冒着热气。可一到教室，一瞬间就凉快了许多。我找了一个坐位坐了下来，整理好东西，上交作业，开始复习。所谓复习其实就是想到啥看啥，只不过是把书摊在桌上，然后翻过来覆过去，如同看杂志一样随意。

马上上课了，也就代表考试开始了。第一题，听写48个国际音标，可以说是最难的一题，不仅要按照顺序来写，还要写正确，而且分类也要正确，更何况好多音标的发音，乍一听就像是一样。不过“好心”的老师，给了我们再听一遍这48个音标的机会，我也总算写出了这些音标。

但好戏还在后头呢，可谓关键“人物”总是最后关头才出场，这可不是关键人物吗？给我们扣分的关键人物啊。第二题是看单词写音标，还是有些难度的，主要还是因为掌握得还不够稳固。

“还有15分钟。”老师说道。大家一听，啥？只剩15分钟啦。我赶忙奋笔疾书，把没做完的题赶紧做完。没多久，老师便说：“考试结束，所有人把卷子交上来。”大家又是开心又是着急，开心是因为考完试老师答应我们看一会儿电视，着急是一些没做完的人估计分数就不怎么好看了。

我们在教室里边看电视边等老师，过了大约半个多小时，老师总算把试卷批好了。她走进教室，将试卷发给我们，许多同学都不敢相信这是自己做出来的试卷，而我也只得了86。5分，可我没有想到的是，我竟然是全班第一。哎！我真想不通这么低的分数，居然能得全班第一。没啥好得意的，还得多花时间学音标。

在作文中应用一些古诗词，可以让我们的文章更加有层次，下面是小编整理的古诗词常用典故，欢迎阅读。

1、冰雪以冰雪的晶莹比喻心志的忠贞、品格的高尚。

如“洛阳亲友如相问，一片冰心在玉壶。”(王昌龄《芙蓉楼送辛渐》)冰心：高洁的心性，古人用“清如玉壶冰”比喻一个人光明磊落的心性。再如“应念岭海经年，孤光自照，肝肺皆冰雪。”岭南一年的仕途生涯中，自己的人格品行像冰雪一样晶莹、高洁。

2、月亮对月思亲——引发离愁别绪，思乡之愁。

如“举头望明月，低头思故乡。”(李白《静夜思》)如“小楼昨夜又东风，故国不堪回首月明中。”(李煜《虞美人》)望月思故国，表明亡国之君特有的伤痛。如“碛里征人三十万，一时回首月中看。”碛，沙漠，茫茫大漠中几十万战士一时间都抬头望着东升的月亮，抑制不住悲苦的思乡之情。

3、柳树以折柳表惜别。

汉代以来，常以折柳相赠来寄托依依惜别之情，由此引发对远方亲人的思念之情以及行旅之人的思乡之情。如1987年曾考过的《送别》诗：杨柳青青着地垂，杨花漫漫搅天飞。柳条折尽花飞尽，借问行人归不归?

由于“柳”、“留”谐音，古人在送别之时，往往折柳相送，以表达依依惜别的深情。这一习俗始于汉而盛于唐，汉代就有《折杨柳》的曲子，以吹奏的形式表达惜别之情。唐代西安的灞陵桥，是当时人们到全国各地去时离别长安的必经之地，而灞陵桥两边又是杨柳掩映，这儿就成了古人折柳送别的着名的地方，如“年年柳色，灞陵伤别”的诗。后世就把“灞桥折柳”作为送别典故的出处。故温庭筠有“绿杨陌上多别离”的诗句。柳永在《雨霖铃》中以“今宵酒醒何处，杨柳岸，晓风残月”来表达别离的伤感之情。

“笛中闻折柳，春色未曾看”，说的是笛声中《折杨柳》的曲子倒是传播得很远，而杨柳青青的春色却从来不曾看见，以此来表达伤春叹别的感情。

“此夜曲中闻折柳，何人不起故园情?”说的是今夜听到《折杨柳》的曲子，又有何人不引起思念故乡的感情呢?

4、蝉以蝉品行高洁。

古人以为蝉餐风饮露，是高洁的象征，所以古人常以蝉的高洁表现自己品行的高洁。《唐诗别裁》说：“咏蝉者每咏其声，此独尊其品格。”

由于蝉栖于高枝，餐风露宿，不食人间烟火，则其所喻之人品，自属于清高一型。骆宾王《在狱咏蝉》：“无人信高洁。”李商隐《蝉》：“本以高难饱”，“我亦举家清”。王沂孙《齐天乐》：“甚独抱清高，顿成凄楚。”虞世南《蝉》：“居高声自远，非是藉秋风。”他们都是用蝉喻指高洁的人品。

5、草木以草木繁盛反衬荒凉，以抒发盛衰兴亡的感慨。

如“过春风十里，尽荠麦青青。”(姜夔《扬州慢》)春风十里，十分繁华的扬州路，如今长满了青青荠麦，一片荒凉了。“旧苑荒台杨柳新，菱歌清唱不胜春。”吴国的旧苑荒台上的杨柳又长出新枝(荒凉一片)，遥想当年这里笙歌曼舞，那盛景比春光还美(不胜春：春光也不胜它)。这里是以杨柳的繁茂衬托荒凉。

“阶前碧草自春色，隔叶黄鹂空好音。”(杜甫《蜀相》)一代贤相及其业绩都已消失，如今只有映绿石阶的青草，年年自生春色(春光枉自明媚)，黄鹂白白发出这婉转美妙的叫声，诗人慨叹往事空茫，深表惋惜。

“朱雀桥边野草花，乌衣巷口夕阳斜。”(刘禹锡《乌衣巷》)朱雀桥边昔日的繁华已荡然无存，桥边已长满杂草野花，乌衣巷已失去昔日的富丽堂皇，夕阳映照着破败凄凉的巷口。

6、南浦在中国古代诗歌中，南浦是水边的送边之所。

屈原《九哥·河伯》：“与子交手兮东行，送美人兮南浦。”江淹《别赋》：“春草碧色，春水渌波，送君南浦，伤如之何!”范成大《横塘》：“南浦春来绿一川，石桥朱塔两依然。”古人水边送别并非只在南浦，但由于长期的民族文化浸染，南浦已成为水边送别之地的一个专名了。

7、长亭是陆上的送别之所。

李白《菩萨蛮》：“何处是归程?长亭更短亭。”柳永《雨霖铃》：“寒蝉凄切，对长亭晚。”李叔同《送别》：“长亭外，古道边，芳草碧连天。”很显然，在中国古典诗歌里长亭已成为陆上的送别之所。

8、琴瑟(1)比喻夫妇感情和谐，亦作“瑟琴”。

《诗·周南·关雎》：“窈窕淑女，琴瑟友之。”又《小雅·常棣》：“妻子好合，如鼓琴瑟。”

(2)比喻兄弟朋友的情谊。

陈子昂《春夜别友人诗》：“离堂思琴瑟，别路绕出川。”

9、螟蛉《诗·小雅·小宛》：“螟蛉有子，蜾赢负之。”蜾赢(一种蜂)捕螟蛉为食，并以产卵管刺入螟蛉体内，注射蜂毒使其麻痹，然后负之置于蜂巢内，作蜾赢幼虫的食料。古人错以为蜾赢养螟蛉为子，因把作为螟蛉养子的代称。

10、鸿雁

《汉书·苏轼传》载，匈奴单于欺骗汉使，称苏武已死，而汉使者故意说天子打猎时射下一只北方飞来的鸿燕，脚上拴着帛书，是苏武写的。单于只好放了苏武。后来就用“鸿燕”、“雁书”、“雁足”、“鱼雁”等指书信、单讯。如晏殊《清平乐》：“生笺小字，说尽平生意。鸿雁在云鱼在不，惆怅此情难寄。”李清照词云：“雁字回时，月满西楼。”李清照另一首词云：“好把音书凭过雁，东莱不似蓬莱远。”大雁在这里是传书的信使。

11、神器指帝位、政权。

《老子》：“将欲取天下而为之，吾见其不得己。天下神器，不可为也。”

12、月老

传说唐朝韦固月夜里经过宋城，遇见一个老人坐着翻检书本。韦固前往窥视，一个字也不认得，向老人询问后，才知道老人是专官人间婚姻的神仙，翻检的书是婚姻簿子(见《续幽怪录·定婚店》)。后来因此称煤人为月下老人，或月老。

13、陶朱春秋时越国大夫范蠡的别号。

相传他帮助勾践灭吴后，离开越国到陶，善于经营生计，积累了很多财富，后世因此以“陶朱”或“陶朱公”来称富商。

14、祝融

传说中楚国君主的祖先，为高辛氏帝喾的火正(掌火之官)，以光明四海而称为祝融，后世祀为火神;由此，火灾称为祝融之灾。

15、秋水秋水，喻指眼睛，形容盼望的迫切。《西厢记》第三本第二折“望穿他盈盈秋水，蹙损他淡淡春山。”春山，指眉。

万圣节又叫诸圣节，在每年的10月31日，是西方的传统节日。以下是关于万圣节的英语素材，供大家参考。

11月1日万圣节英文：Hallowmas，南瓜是万圣节的代表。

10月31日是万圣夜英文：Halloween，华语地区常将万圣夜称为万圣节。

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition, Halloween begins after sunset. Long ago, people believed that witches gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today, most people no longer believe in ghosts and witches. But these supernatural beings are still a part of Halloween.

万圣节前夜是在10月31日庆祝的一个节日，根据传统，万圣节前夜的庆祝活动从太阳落山开始。在很久以前，人们相信在万圣节前夜女巫会聚集在一起，鬼魂在四处游荡。现在，大多数人们不再相信有鬼魂和女巫的存在了，但是他们仍然把这些作为万圣节前夜的一部分。

The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. A jack-o’-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side. Candles are usually placed inside, giving the face a spooky glow.

黑色和橙色仍然是万圣节前夜的一部分，黑色是夜晚的象征，而橙色代表着南瓜。南瓜灯是用雕刻成脸型，中间挖空，再插上蜡烛的南瓜做成的，带来一个毛骨悚然的灼热面孔。

Dressing up in costumes is one of the most popular Halloween customs, especially among children. According to tradition, people would dress up in costumes (wear special clothing, masks or disguises) to frighten the spirits away.

盛装是最受欢迎的万圣节风俗之一，尤其是受孩子们的欢迎。按照传统习俗，人们会盛装(穿戴一些特殊的服饰，面具或者装饰)来吓跑鬼魂。

Popular Halloween costumes include vampires (creatures that drink blood), ghosts (spirits of the dead) and werewolves (people that turn into wolves when the moon is full).

流行的万圣节服装包括vampires(吸血鬼)，ghosts(死者的灵魂)和werewolves(每当月圆时就变成狼形的人)。

Trick or Treating is a modern Halloween custom where children go from house to house dressed in costume, asking for treats like candy or toys. If they dont get any treats, they might play a trick (mischief or prank) on the owners of the house.

欺骗或攻击是现代万圣节的风俗。孩子们穿着特殊的衣服走街串巷，讨取糖果和玩具之类的赏赐。如果他们得不到任何的赏赐，就可能会对屋主大搞恶作剧或者胡闹了。

The tradition of the Jack o Lantern comes from a folktale about a man named Jack who tricked the devil and had to wander the Earth with a lantern. The Jack o Lantern is made by placing a candle inside a hollowed-out pumpkin, which is carved to look like a face.

南瓜灯的传统来自于一个民间传说。一个名叫Jack的人戏弄了恶魔，之后就不得不提着一盏灯在地球上流浪。南瓜灯是用雕刻成脸型，中间挖空，再插上蜡烛的南瓜做成的。

There are many other superstitions associated with Halloween. A superstition is an irrational idea, like believing that the number 13 is unlucky!

和万圣节有关的迷信还有很多。迷信是一种不合常理的想法，比如认为13是不吉利的数字!

Halloween is also associated with supernatural creatures like ghosts and vampires. These creatures are not part of the natural world. They dont really exist... or do they?

万圣节还和一些诸如鬼魂和吸血鬼之类的超自然的生物有关。这些生物不是自然界的一部分。他们实际上是不存在的......或许他们其实真的存在?

Witches are popular Halloween characters that are thought to have magical powers. They usually wear pointed hats and fly around on broomsticks.

女巫是万圣节很受欢迎的人物，人们认为她们具有强大的魔力。他们通常戴着尖顶的帽子，骑在扫把上飞来飞去。

Bad omens are also part of Halloween celebrations. A bad omen is something that is believed to bring bad luck, like black cats, spiders or bats.

恶兆也是万圣节庆祝活动的一部分。人们相信恶兆会带给坏运气，黑猫、蜘蛛或者蝙蝠都算是恶兆。

一、培养基础英语写作能力

转变英语学习观念，培养基础英语写作能力是提高商务英语写作能力的基础和关键。为此，必须抓好以下三个环节:

1.不断通过写作练习培养英语语法的应用能力，重视掌握有关词汇的用法，以便能运切实用有关语法和词汇去写作。这是英语写作的基础。

不仅要记住语法规则，更重要的是要通过做各种各样的写作练习，以达到在写作中能正确运用有关语法规则。要记住英语单词的汉语意思，更重要的是要通过阅读在上下文中准确掌握英语单词的用法。单词的用法(主要是实词的用法)主要包括：单词的确切意思-包括其情感意义、文体色彩等;它与有关同义词或近义词的区别;它的习惯性搭配。这样，学习者才能在写作中避免那些尽管语法上没有什么错误、用词却有明显错误的现象。

2.通过大量阅读逐渐培养英语思维，并掌握一些写好句子的技巧，以便在把句子写正确的同时，不断培养用地道的英语把句子写好的能力。

结合提高阅读能力，大量阅读各类题材的英语文章，有意识地逐渐培养英语思维，并把它用于写作。在阅读过程中要注意:不要死扣每句英语的汉语意思，而应着重获取作者所要传递的信息;对于相对简易的、与日常生活或所学专业有关的文章，应注意某些意思的英语表达方式，尤其要注意与汉语有明显不同的表达方式，注意其用词、词序、搭配等，以便将来写作时有效地模仿，使写出的句子地道化。掌握英语句子的写作技巧，恰当运用各种类型的句子。

3.了解一些英语段落、篇章的组织和写作知识。所写段落与篇章均要力求连贯(coherence)和衔接(cohesion)。篇章的用词和句式在文体上一般要保持一致(unity)。

二、商务英语文体特点

要提高商务英语写作水平，除了要有扎实的英语基本功，还要对商务英语文体特点有充分的认识，准确的区别不同体裁商务英语的风格特点，从而写出满足不同商务目的的要求的商务文件。不同的商务环境相对应的不同的商务活动也是不相同的，了解商务英语语言的共同特点、风格、语篇结构而且清楚认识在不同商务活动中商务英语写作的具体特点和要求。它包括构思、起草、修改3个阶段。

1.构思阶段

商务英语写作在此切断必须考虑三个文体：(1)写作目的-通知、请求、说服、存档;(2)写给谁-客户、上级、同事、下属;(3)字数要求;(4)形式结构-计划或建议报告、商务函件、备忘录、电子邮件。明确这些要求后，需要考虑语篇结构，采用那种陈述顺序-直接顺序、间接顺序、直接于间接混合顺序。

2.起草阶段

起草阶段，是将构思阶段在头脑中形成的想法以书面文字的形式呈现出来。商务英语写作的最终目的是为了获的读者的支持、信任和好感。而且还要注意礼貌用词，例如使用褒义词、适当的头衔、不带任何性别、种族和年龄偏见的词等。

作为专门用途英语的商务英语，因其特殊目的，希望通过最有效的沟通提供给合作者更容易理解的清楚具体的信息。其信函在词汇选择上，遵循3c原则:

(1)conciseness(精简)。在复合词与简单词之间、长词与短词之间，应选择简单词或短词;在词组与单词之间，选择单词，尽量不使用不必要的介词词组;

(2)clarity(明白)。要准确传达商务交流的内容，必须避免使用模棱两可的词语或表达方式，这样才能使信函意义明确，不被误解，表达思想才能够更突出。避免在同一信函或其他写作中使用同一词。避免使用“if”，“hope”，“but”等表示疑问的词。在日期表达上，涉及到具体某月，均使用那个月的具体名词，如“January，February，…”。避免用“instant， ultimo，approx”等不确定词语。另外避免将日期写成如“5/4/1995”类似的形式，因为对于英国习惯是4月5日，而美国习惯是5月4日。

(3)Courtesy(礼貌)。尽量使用表示肯定的词汇，少用否定词，因为否定词给人一种否定的印象，或者还有指责对方的意思肯定对方时用词多用“you”，“your”，少用“I”，“we”，“us”，“our”，此种方式即“以客户为中心的‘You—attitude’”表达形式，因为不管你的目的是提供信息、说服别人还是增进友谊，最能打动人。

3.修改阶段

商务英语写作在修改阶段，力求句子简洁明了，段落清晰完整如上文所述。

完成商务英语写作过程在商务写作中，还应注意所选词语的礼貌性，讲话要婉转客气。的第一阶段是写出高水平商务英语的前提。提高商务英语写作能力的关键是把握商务英语写作的三个基本原则-简洁、准确、完整以及商务活动应遵循的语用策略-礼貌、合作。总之，商务英语的文体决定了商务英语写作的基本原则;简洁-才能提高效益;准确-才能避免延误;完整-才能显示逻辑思考能力。

由于教育背景和工作经历的不同而写作风格各异，但他共同遵循的写作宗旨是明晰扼要，其商务文稿要力求开门见山，扣住主题，思路清楚，层次分明，内容具体而完整。现代商业写作做到这些还远远不够。要走出写作风格的误区:一是避免使用套话。二是少用大词多用小词。用简单的言词交流思想，使人感到亲切，书面语向口语化过渡。然而写作的口语化并不意味着要用俚语或行话，因为它们的用法是有局限性的，很难用得恰到好处，弄不好让人感觉随意无礼，容易产生费解和误解。时代的发展变化促使语言更新由繁到简，这不免引起一些人的抱怨，他们认为这是“稀释”了英语。竞争如此激烈的社会，人们惜时如金，那个人会愿意听您咬文嚼字，仔细去揣模字里行间的文学色彩，欣赏书面语措词如何地道。

由上可见，不同文体的英语语言有不同的使用标准、礼貌标准以及传达含义的约束化表达方式，只有了解和掌握现代商务英语词汇的文体特征和应遵循的要求，才能处理好对外业务往来中的各类商务写作，使相关业务顺利开展下去。

在今日全球化的经济环境下，有效地用英语(精品课)交流已经变得至关重要。

然而如何清晰地表达你的想法却是门大学问。太多时候人们只是简单地照抄他们眼中同事，尤其是上级写出来的“漂亮英语”。你每天都能在收件箱里看到很多例子——那些难懂的需要你读好多遍才能理解的邮件。

一个巨大的错误就是用一些不必要的单词和词组让你的文章变得冗长。你要牢记你写作的目的是为了更清晰地交流你的想法。

总是尽可能减少你句子中使用的字数，避免使用可以用更短的词代替的长词。以下是一些例子：

Instead of "prior to" use *before*

用“before”代替“prior to”

Instead of "subsequent" use *after*

用“after”代替“subsequent”

Instead of "in order to" use *to*

用“to”代替“in order to”

Instead of "in the event that" use *if*

用“if”代替“in the event that”

Instead of "with reference to" use *about*

用“about”代替“with the reference to”

Instead of "state of the art" use *latest*

用“latest”代替“state of the art”

Instead of "due to the fact that" use *since*

用“since”代替“due to the fact that”

Instead of "not later than 2pm" use *by 2pm*

用“by 2pm”代替“not later than 2pm”

Instead of "at the present time" use *now*

用“now”代替“at the present time”

同时也要记得文章有组织性。第一句话就要开门见山地点出你每一段要讲什么。除此之外，要控制你邮件的长度。没人想读一条长达10段的邮件。

通过使用简单的单词和易懂的词组，你就能最终提高你信息的清晰度。

On Cultivating the Sense of Gratitude

On college campuses across the nation, there is a noticeable phenomenonthat we cannot afford to ignore: far too many young college students lack thesense of gratitude, one of the countless traditional virtues of this ancientland with a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years. These young adultswere not and are not aware of the huge importance of expressing gratitude tothose who once helped them, from teachers to parents and so forth。

Personally, I deem that the root cause of students without a graceful heartis that they receive an education not valuing the moral sphere. I stronglybelieve that joint efforts from folks across society are the final remedy forthis social headache. As young university students of the new era, we shouldmake our own contributions to this cause. Imagine a world without the sense ofgratitude. This kind of world is doomed to failure. Simply put, we should joinour hands to heighten our awareness of fostering a graceful heart. Only in thisway can we build our society into a harmonious one. My fellow students, I begyou to act from now on.

现在是各大学校放寒假的时间，年后要参加中考的同学们要注意了，趁着假期要好好恶补一下英语哦，下面是小编收集整理的中考英语作文写作指导，希望对您有所帮助。

最近几年的中考英语当中，很多省市已经摆脱了单一作文模式，采用一大一小两个作文相结合的模式。例如，去年辽宁沈阳中考英语作文就是一个小作文，应用文-写假条，加上一个大作文，汉语提示作文构成。今年，北京中考英语作文也将是两个，一个看图作文在加上一个提示作文构成。这一讲，我们先来学习一下看图作文的写法。

看图作文要求考生按照所给图画，通过合理的联想将一组画面的内容正确地表达出来。看图作文与其他类型作文的不同之处在于，它除了要求考生有英语语言表达能力，还要求考生有观察能力、分析能力和想象能力。

写好看图作文应注意的事项1、结合文字提示，正确理解图意。一般情况下，看图作文在提供图画的同时也附带有简要的文字提示，我们可以利用文字提示去正确地理解图意，得到要点。切忌孤立地看图而忽视文字提示。

写作从图画的细节出发。所谓细节，就是指图画中的人物、事件、地点、环境、时间、动作等。依据图画细节，就可以把图画的内容用英语具体而生动地表达出来了。

例题分析(例题)

同学们，看到下面的四幅图片及相应的报道后，你感到最担忧的是哪两种情形?请简述你担忧的理由并提出建议或希望。

要求：

⒈ 从所给素材中任选两种情形进行阐述，不可多选或少选。

⒉ 条理清楚，意思连贯，语句通顺，标点正确;

⒊ 词数 80 ～ 100。

参考词汇： 建议 suggest v. suggestion n.

气体 gas n. 污染 pollution n.

THE POLLUTIONS

① One third of the worlds people dont have enough clean water.

② More and more diseases are caused by polluted air.

③ People are disturbed quite often by kinds of noises.

④ Every person in our city makes about 1.8 kilos of rubbish every day.

这道看图作文题，主题和图片连接得不是很紧密。从考查的形式上来说，虽是看图，实质上却属于提示性的作文。这个作文应该结合个人的观点，选择的余地还是很大的。做这个题应该注意几个方面：

1、认真读题。注意，题目虽然给了四幅图，但是却只要求写其中的两个就行。

2、题意要求的是阐述个人的观点-最担忧的两种情形。而不是对图片进行描述。

3、结合所给的提示。提示中，对每种污染都进行了阐述，考生可以这些描述进行写作。

4、注意字数，语法，拼写等，避免错误。

下面是两个例文，大家可以参考一下。

One possible version:

The environment is becoming worse and worse. There are many kinds of pollution I worry about. The most serious two are water pollution and air pollution, because people cant live healthily with dirty water and polluted air, nor can animals. More and more diseases are caused by polluted air.

I think factories should not pour dirty water into the river directly or produce more waste gas. Wed better go on foot or by like instead of by car, because more cars mean more waste gas. We should make our world more and more beautiful.

Another possible version:

The first fact I worry about is noise pollution. People cant sleep well if there is too much noise. Thats why so many people prefer to live in the countryside rather than live in the noisy city. I suggest all the factories and cars shouldnt make terrible noises. If they make terrible noise that isnt allowed, they will be fined, and we can also produce the cars which cant make terrible noise.

The other pollution is rubbish pollution. If everyone makes so much rubbish, one day we may live in a world filled with rubbish. Some people throw the waste paper about. I suggest rubbish should be put into different kinds of dustbins or paper bags.

下面，我们来看看这道题的评分标准。一般来说，各地的评分标准都和下面的这个标准差不多。这个最高的标准，实际上也就是我们写作的目标。

评分标准：

1. 内容完整，语句流畅，无语法错误，书写规范，给9-10分;

2. 内容较完整，语句较流畅，基本无语法错误，书写较规范，给6-8分;

3. 内容不完整，语句欠流畅，语法错误较多，书写较规范，给3-5分;

4. 只写出个别要点，语法错误较多，书写欠规范，只有个别句子可读或不知所云，给0-2分。

看图作文不可小视。希望大家掌握答好这种题型的要点，并积累词汇。
