篇2:浅谈初中生说明文写作教学方法
全文共 2525 字
+ 加入清单摘要:初中生语文综合能力以写作能力为最高,写作能力又以说明文写作为最难。现根据多年来初中语文教学经验,针对初中生说明文写作的教学技巧作简要论述。
语文学习的外延与生活相等,写作能力是语文学习的重要内容。如果说记叙文是以情感人,议论文又以理服人,那说明文则是以知明人。以情感人往往有情节,以理服人往往有事实,这都是可以在生活中寻找到的素材。而以知明人则相对较难,因此,最好不采用集中教授的方式,而采用感受、实践、归纳的方式。
认知心理学认为,写作内容知识就是言语信息,它的本性属于陈述性知识的范畴,是指有关人所知道的事物状况以及事物之间的关系、能够被人陈述和描述的知识,或者说是关于“是什么”的知识。写作内容知识主要有主题知识和读者知识构成,而写作主题知识是最为重要的因素,它直接决定作者是否“有米下锅”、“有物可言”。作者知道的东西越多,写出来的东西越好。写作内容当然来自生活。巧妇难为无米之炊,欲“炊”必先有“米”,然后才能表现出“巧妇”之“巧”。这几句俗语道出了内容与技巧的关系。可以设想,教师要求学生写说明文而学生对说明对象一无所知或一知半解,就没办法写。
同其他文体的文章一样,说明文写作也需要先解决写作内容的问题,至于写作技巧,当有了内容后才能考虑。这就要求教师在命题上充分考虑如何引导学生获得说明文的写作内容。
首先,写作内容可以从“制造事件”入手,使说明文的写作具有“情节性”,以使学生获得真实感受。只是说明文写作内容的获得,要比其他文体更艰难。基于这样的认识,在说明文写作指导上应尝试“先动手做,后动手写”的技巧。
动手做,是获得说明文写作内容的有效途径。可以分为以下几类:
第一类,亲手制作某种模型(如桥梁、车、房屋等),然后将设计原理、所用材料、制作过程写出来。还可以结合数学、物理、生物等学科有关知识,制作教具或动植物标本,然后将制作过程写出来;还可以写物理、化学、生物等学科的实验,这样不仅可以提高写作水平,还可以加深对其他学科知识系统的认识。第二类,结合劳动技术可制作手工艺品,如制作布贴画、烹饪菜肴、使用缝纫机、维修家电等,将有关步骤如实地记录下来,作为写作的素材,然后加工润色。第三类,结合社会实践活动,如参观印刷厂,了解一本书或一张报纸的印刷过程;如对某种建筑物或自然景物进行观察,按顺序记录下建筑物的结构形态特点或自然景物的主要特征。
严格地说,动手做不属于语文课的任务。但是,当教师指导学生描写景物的时候,不是也要求学生对景物进行观察吗?写调查报告不是也要求学生深入社会生活先调查研究后形成文字吗?先动手制作,然后再写制作的过程,恰恰是激发学生说明文写作兴趣的有效手段。这也是“语文综合活动”的一种形式。写作要调动多种器官综合工作,“纸上得来终觉浅”,动手制作是亲身实践活动,是获得“真知”的前提。这一点布鲁纳的发现也可以给我们启迪,“发现不限于那种寻求人类尚未知晓之事物的行为,正确地说,发现包括着用自己的头脑亲自获得知识的一切形式”,教师指导学生自行发现与自行组织知识的方法,有助于学习后的长时记忆,学生主动学习的思维活动,有助于智力的发展和提升,学生养成自动自发的学习习惯并获得解决问题的技能之后,有助于将来独立的求知与研究,所以,强调教师引导学生去发现,而不是急于告诉他们学习的结果,这也是“动手做”的道理所在。
其次,成文的演练需要先说话后作文。说话是口语交际的一种形式,学生在课堂上向全体学生介绍自己制作的“作品”就是一种“有声语言”的文本;它与教师的询问、评价语言形式对话;其他学生即使没有参与对话,但思维在“对话”。先说话后作文,就是强调把口语表达和文字表达结合起来。把一件事说明白了,才可能写明白;人对事物的感知总是从简单到复杂,说话比较简单,写成文章就比较复杂;说总比写快,先动口说,说的内容有偏差,“改口”比改文章容易;说得好现场就能获得好评,感受成就感的周期短,反馈及时;先说就能把作文思路先演练一通,写的时候心里就有底。作文则是书面语言的文本、有声语言文本在先,书面语言文本在后,有利于“我手写我口”,形成语言生活化、朴实、自然的风格。这也是一种“语文综合活动”。
再次,从“动手做”获得写作内容,从“动口说”获得写作演练,接下来自然要涉及到写作技巧。如果教师在学生没有获得写作内容之前就一股脑地把写作技巧告诉学生,学生很快就能得到这些知识,但是,因为没有亲身实践,没有发现,没有尝试主动解决问题,只能被动接受这些知识,那么这些知识就很难转化为能力。
在此基础上,可以把这种先个别后一般的程序认知能力进行迁移。当说明对象不需要亲手制作,而是一个具体事物,则通过观察调查等实践活动,把从前的自我设计与选材、制作转换为别人的设计、选材、制作。虽然不是自己的操作,可是自己操作过,明白其中缘故,自然说的清楚明白。甚至可以把这种能力迁移到不是具体事物,而是抽象事理的说明对象上来。有了对说明对象特征的认识,又要进一步让别人明白,就必须按照一定的顺序,使用一定的手段进行说明。这些就是写作技巧的策略性知识。从逻辑上讲,这是归纳推理,是由一般到个别的推理;许多程序性的知识不能直接转化为能力,换句话说,就是写作只是不能直接转化为写作能力。许多教师通过先讲解写作知识,再根据这些知识进行写作训练,导致学生无法写出好文章。其实,如此教学,教师自己也不能根据自己的讲解的写作只是写出令自己满意的文章,又何必强求学生。但是,写作技巧知识如果是在亲身实践中悟出的,这种知识就会内化为自己的积淀,存储在自己的大脑中,自动支配自己的相关写作活动。
这是从感性认识上升到理性认识的关键一步,是由形象具体的个性化操作上升到抽象知识的关键一步,这样获得的程序性知识是加上了个体亲身感受的、一旦拥有便终身不忘的知识,是在实践的基础上形成了技能后概括出来的“真知”。
总之,说明文的写作,我的经验就是引导学生首先获得关于说明对象的知识,再进行口语演练,最后形成文字;在作文讲评的时候引导学生针对自己成文的过程进行反思归纳,形成关于技巧的程序性知识,从而使学生具有亲身感受、亲自发现的特点,使学生思维水平得以提升,并形成主动发现问题、解决问题的习惯。

2. Damaging Research
A study by National Parent-Teacher Organization revealed that in the average American school, eighteen negatives are identified for every positive that is pointed out. The Wisconsin study revealed that when children enter the first grade, 80 percent of them feel pretty good themselves, but by the time they get to the sixth grade, only 10 percent of them have good self-images.
3. Education and Citizenship
An important aspect of education in the United States is the relationship between education and citizenship. Throughout its history this nation has emphasized public education as a means of transmitting democratic values, creating equality of opportunity, and preparing new generations of citizens to function in society. In addition, the schools have been expected to help shape society itself. During the 1950s, for example, efforts to combat racial segregation focused on the schools. Later, when the Soviet Union launched the first orbiting satellite, American schools and colleges came under intense pressure and were offered many incentives to improve their science and mathematics programs so that the nations would not fall behind the Soviet Union in scientific and technological capabilities.
Education is often viewed as a tool for solving social problems, especially social inequality. The schools, t is thought, can transform young people from vastly different backgrounds into competent, upwardly mobile adults. Yet these goals seem almost impossible to attain. In recent years, in fact, public education has been at the center of numerous controversies arising from the gap between the ideal and the reality. Part of the problem is that different groups in society have different have different expectations. Some feel that children should be taught basic job-related skills; still others believe education should not only prepare children to compete in society but also help them maintain their cultural identity (and, in the case of Hispanic children, their language). On the other hand, policymakers concerned with education emphasize the need to increase the level of student achievement and to improve parents in their children’s education.
Some reformers and critics have called attention to the need to link formal schooling with programs designed to address social problems. Sociologist Charles Moscos, for example, is a leader in the movement to expand programs like the Peace Corps, Vista, and Outward Bound into a system of voluntary national service. National service, as Moscos defines it, would entail “the full-time undertaking of public duties by young people whether as citizen soldiers or civilian servers-who are paid subsistence wages” and serve for at least one year. In return for this period of service, the volunteers would receive assistance in paying for college or other educational expenses.
Advocates of national service and school-to-work programs believe that education does not have to be confined to formal schooling. In devising strategies to provide opportunities for young people to serve their society, they emphasize the educational value of citizenship experiences gained outside the classroom. At this writing there is little indication that national service will become a new educational institution in the United States, although the concept is steadily gaining support among educators and social critics.
4. The Teacher’s Role
Given the undeniable importance of classroom experience, sociologists have done a considerable amount of research on what goes on in the classroom. Often they start from the premise that, along with the influence of peers, students’ experiences in the classroom are of central importance to their later development. One study examined the impact of a single first-grade teacher on her students’ subsequent adult status. The surprising results of this study have important implications. It is evident that good teachers can make a big difference in children’s lives, a fact that gives increased urgency to the need to improve the quality of primary-school teaching. The reforms carried out by educational leaders like James Comer suggest that when good teaching is combined with high levels of parental involvement the results can be even more dramatic.
Because the role of the teacher is to change the learner in some way, the teacher-student relationship is an important part of education. Sociologists have pointed out that this relationship is asymmetrical or unbalanced, with the teacher being in a position of authority and the student having little choice but to passively absorb the information provided by the teacher. In other words, in conventional classrooms there is little opportunity for the students to become actively involved in the learning process. On the other hand, students often develop strategies for undercutting the teacher’s authority: mentally withdrawing, interrupting, and the like. Hence, much current research assumes that students and teachers influence each other instead of assuming that the influence is always in a single direction.
5. Education Philosophy
For the past fifty years our schools have operated on the theories of John Dewey (1859-1953), an American educator and writer. Dewey believed hat the school’s job was to enhance the natural development of the growing child, rather than to pour information, for which the child had no context, into him or her. In the Dewey system, the child becomes the active agent in his own education, rather than a passive receptacle for facts.
Consequently, American schools are very enthusiastic about teaching “life skills” –logical thinking, analysis, creative problem--solving. The actual content of the lessons is secondary to the process, which is supposed to train the child to be able to handle whatever life may present, including all the unknowns of the future. Students and teachers both regard pure memorization as an uncreative and somewhat vulgar.
In addition to “life skills”, schools are assigned to solve the ever growing stoke of social problems. Racism, teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, drug use, reckless driving, and are just a few of the modern problems that have appeared on the school curriculum.
This all contributes to a high degree of social awareness in American youngsters.
6. Student Life
To the students, the most notable difference between elementary school and the higher levels is that in junior high they start “changing classes”. This means that rather than spending the day in one classroom, they switch classrooms to meet their different teachers. This gives them three or four minutes between classes in the hallways, where a great deal of the important social action of high school traditionally takes place. Students have lockers in these hallways, around which thy congregate.
Society in general does not take the business of studying very seriously. Schoolchildren have a great deal of free time, which they are encouraged to fill with extracurricular activities—sports, clubs, cheerleading, scouts—supposed to inculcate such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, ability to organize, etc. those who don’t become engaged in such activities or have afterschool jobs have plenty of opportunity to “hang out”, listen to teenager music, and watch television.
Compared to other nations, American students do not have much homework. Studies also show that American parents have lower expectations for their children’s success in school than other nationalities do. (Historically, there has not been much correlation between American school success and success in later life.) “He’s just not a scholar”, the American parents might say, content that their son is on the swim team and doesn’t take drugs. (Some of the young do choose to study hard, for reason of their own, such as determining that the road to riches lies through Harvard Business School.)
What American schools do effectively teach is the competitive method. In innumerable ways children are pitted against each other—whether in classroom discussion, spelling bees, reading groups, or tests. Every classroom is expected to produce a scattering of A’s and F’s (teachers often grade A=excellent; B=good; C=average; D=poor; and F=failed). A teacher who gives all A’s looks too soft—so students are aware that they are competing for the limited number of top marks.
Foreign students sometimes don’t understand that copying from other people’s papers or from books is considered wrong and taken seriously. Here, it is important to show that you have done your own work and are displaying your own knowledge. It is more important than helping your friends to pass, whom we think do not deserve to pass unless they can provide their own answers. Group effort goes against the competitive grain, and American students do not study together as many Asians do. Many Asians in this country consider their group study habits a large contributor to their school success.
7. Adult Education
After complaining about many aspects of American life, a 40-year-old woman from Hong Kong concluded, “But where else could someone my age go back to school and get a degree in social work? Here you can change your whole life, start a new business, do what you really want to do.”
So at least to this person, school requirements weren’t inhibiting. And to millions of others, adult education is the path to a new career, or if not to a new career, to a new outlook. Schools generally encourage the older person who wants to start anew, and besides regular classes, schedule evening classes in special programs. Today there are so many people of retirement age in college that it is no longer remarkable.
8. Moral Relativism in American
Improving American education requires not doing new things but doing (and remembering) some good old things. At the time of our nation’s founding, Thomas Jefferson listed the requirements for a sound education in the Report of the Commissioners for the University of Virginia. In this landmark statement on American education, Jefferson wrote of the importance of education and writing, and of reading history, and geography. But he also emphasized the need “to instruct the mass of our citizens in these, their rights, interests, and duties, as men and citizens.” Jefferson believed education should aim at the improvement of both one’s “morals” and “faculties”. That has been the dominant view of the aims of American education for over two centuries. But a number of changes, most of them unsound, have diverted schools from these great pursuits. And the story of the loss of the school’s original moral mission explains a great deal.
Starting in the early seventies, “values clarification” programs started turning up in schools all over America. According to this philosophy, the schools were not to take part in their time-honored task of transmitting sound moral values; rather, they were to allow the child to “clarify” his own values (which adults, including parents, had no “rights” to criticize). The “values clarification” movement didn’t clarify values; it clarified wants and desires. This form of moral relativism said, in effect, that no set of values was right or wrong; everybody had an equal right to his own values; and all values were subjective, relative, and personal. This destructive view took hold with a vengeance.
In 1985 The York Times published an article quoting New York area educators, in slavish devotion to this new view, proclaiming, “They deliberately avoid trying to tell students what is ethically right and wrong.” The article told of one counseling session involving fifteen high school juniors and seniors. In the course of that session a student concluded that a fellow student had been foolish to return one thousand dollars she found in a purse at school. According to the article, when the youngsters asked the counselor’s opinion, “He told them he believed the girl had done the right thing, but that, of course, he would not try to force his values on them. ‘If I come from the position of what is wrong,’ he explained, ‘then I’m not their counselor.’”
Once upon a time, a counselor offered counselor, and he knew that an adult does not form character in the young by taking a stance of neutrality toward questions of right and wrong or by merely offering “choices” or “options”.
In response to the belief that adults and educators should teach children sound morals, one can expect from some quarters indignant objections (I’ve heard one version of it expressed countless times over the years): “Who are you to say what’s important?” or “Whose standards and judgments do we use?”
The correct response, it seems to me, is, is we ready to do away with standards and judgments? Is anyone going to argue seriously that a life of cheating and swindling is as worthy as a life of honest, hard work? Is anyone (with the exception of some literature professors at our elite universities) going to argue seriously the intellectual corollary, that a Marvel comic book is as good as Macbeth? Unless we are willing to embrace some pretty silly position, we’ve got to admit the need for moral and intellectual standards. The problem is that some people tend to regard anyone who would pronounce a definitive judgment as an unsophisticated Philistine or a closed-minded “elitist” trying to impose his view on everybody else.
The truth of the real world is that without standards and judgments, there can be no progress. Unless we are prepared to say irrational things—that nothing can be proven more valuable than anything else or that everything is equally worthless—we must ask the normative question. It may come, as a surprise to those who fell that to be “progressive” is to be value-neutral. But as Matthew Amold said, “the world is forwarded by having its attention fixed on the best things” and if the world can’t decide what the best things are, at least to some degree, then it follows that progress, and character, is in trouble. We shouldn’t be reluctant to declare that some things, some lives, books, ideas, and values are better than others. It is the responsibility of the schools to teach these better things.
At one time, we weren’t so reluctant to teach them. In the mid-nineteenth century, a diverse, widespread group of crusaders began to work for the public support of what was then called the “common school”, the forerunner of the public school. They were to be charged with the mission of school felt that the nation could fulfill its destiny only if every new generation was taught these values together in a common institution.
The leaders of the common school movement were mainly citizens who were prominent in their communities—businessmen, ministers, local civic and government officials. These people saw the schools as upholders of standards of individual morality and small incubators of civic and personal virtue; the founders of the public schools had faith that public education could teach good moral and civic character from a common ground of American values.
But in the past quarter century or so, some of the so-called experts became experts of value neutrality, and moral education was increasingly left in their hands. The commonsense view of parents and the publicthat schools should reinforce rather than undermine the values of home, family, and country, was increasingly rejected.
There are those today still that claim we are now too diverse a nation, that we consist of too many competing convictions and interests to instill common values. They are wrong. Of course we are a diverse people. We have always been a diverse people. And as Madison wrote in FederalistNo.10, the competing, balancing interests of a diverse people can help ensure the survival of liberty. But there are values that all American citizens share and that we should want all American students to know and to make their own: honesty, fairness, self-discipline, fidelity to task, friends, and family, personal responsibility, love of country, and belief in the principles of liberty, equality, and the freedom to practice one’s faith. The explicit teaching of these values is the legacy of the common schools, and it is a legacy to which we must return.
9. Schools Should Teach Values
People often said, “Yes, we should teach these values, but how do we teach them?” this question deserves a candid response, one that isn’t given often enough. It is by exposing our children to good character and inviting its imitation that we will transmit to them a moral foundation. This happens when teachers and principals, by their words and actions, embody sound convictions. As Oxford’s Mary Warnock has written, “You cannot teach morality without being committed to morality yourself; and you cannot be committed to morality yourself without holding that some things are right and others wrong.” The theologian Martin Buber wrote that the educator is distinguished from all other influences “by his will to take part in the stamping of character and by his consciousness that he represents in the eyes of the growing person a certain selection of what is, the selection of what is ‘right’, of what should be.” It is in this will, Buber says, in this clear standing for something, that the “vocation as an educator finds its fundamental expression.”
There is no escaping the fact that young people need as example principals and teachers who know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, and who themselves exemplify high moral purpose.
As Education Secretary, I visited a class at Waterbury Elementary School in Waterbury, Vermont, and asked the students, “Is this a good school?” They answered, “Yes, this is a good school.” I asked them, “Why?” Among other things, one eight-year-old said, “The principal Mr. Riegel, makes good rules and everybody obeys them.” So I said, “Give me an example.” And another answered, “You can’t climb on the pipes in the bathroom. We don’t climb on the pipes and the principal doesn’t either.”
This example is probably too simple to please a lot of people who want to make the topic of moral education difficult, but there is something profound in the answer of those children, something education should pay more attention to. You can’t expect children to take messages about rules or morality seriously unless they see adults taking those rules seriously in their day-to-day affairs. Certain must be said, certain limits lay down, and certain examples set. There is no other way.
We should also do a better job at curriculum selection. The research shows that most “values education” exercises and separate courses in “moral reasoning” tend not to affect children’s behavior; if anything, they may leave children morally adrift. Where to turn? I believe our literature and our history are a rich quarry of moral literacy. We should mine that quarry. Children should have at their disposal a stock of examples illustrating what we believe to be right and wrong, good and bad—examples illustrating what are morally right and wrong can indeed be known and that there is a difference.
What kind of stories, historical events, and famous lives am I talking about? If we want our children to know about honesty, we should teach them about Abe Lincoln walking three miles to return six cents and conversely, about Aesop’s shepherd boy who cried wolf if we want them to know about courage, we should teach them about Joan of Arc, Horatius at the bridge, and Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. If we want them to know about persistence in the face of adversity, they should know about the voyages of Columbus and the character of Washington during the Civil War. And our youngest should be told about the Little Engine That Could. If we want them to know about respect for the law, they should understand why Socrates told Crito: “No, I must submit to the decree of Athens.” If we want our children to respect the rights of others, they should read the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Gettysburg Address, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’ “Letter from Birmingham jail.” From the Bible they should know about Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi, Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers, Jonathan’s friendship with David, the Good Samaritan’s kindness toward a stranger, and David’s cleverness and courage in facing Goliath.
These are only a few of the hundreds of examples we can call on. And we need not get into issues like nuclear war, abortion, creationism, or euthanasia. This may come as a disappointment to some people, but the fact is that the formation of character in young people is educationally a task different from, and prior to, the discussion of the great, difficult controversies of the day. First things come first. We should teach values the same way we teach other things: one step at a time. We should not use the fact that there are many difficult and controversial moral questions as an argument against basic instruction in the subject.
After all, we do not argue against teaching physics because laser physics is difficult, against teaching American history because there are heated disputes about the Founders’ intent. Every field has its complexities and its controversies. And every field has its basics, its fundamentals. So they are too with forming character and achieving moral literacy. As any parent knows, teaching character is a difficult task. But it is a crucial task, because we want our children to be healthy, happy, and successful but decent, strong, and good. None of this happens automatically; there is no genetic transmission of virtue. It takes the conscious, committed efforts of adults. It takes careful attention.
10. College Pressures
Mainly I try to remind that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches. They don not want to hear such liberating news. They want a map—right now – that they can follow unswervingly to career security, financial security, Social Security and, presumably, a prepaid grave.
What I wish for all students is some release from the clammy grip of the future. I wish them a chance to savor each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a grim preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as instructive as victory and is not the end of the world.
My wish, of course, is na?ve. One of the national gods venerated in our media—the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive—and glorified in our praise of possessions. In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.
I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It is easy to look around for villains—to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, and the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no villains: only victims.
“In the late 1960s.” one dean told me. “The typical question that I got from students was ‘Why is there so much suffering in the world’ or ‘how I can make a contribution?’ Today it’s ‘Do you think it would look better for getting into law school if I did a double major in history and political science, or just majored in one of them?’” many other deans confirmed this pattern. One said: “They are trying to find an edge—the intangible something that will look better on paper if two students are about equal.”
Note the emphasis on looking better. The transcript has become a sacred document, the passport to security. How one appears on paper is more important than how one appears in person. A is for Admirable and B is for Borderline, even though, in Yale’s official system of grading, A means “excellent” and B means “very good.” Today, looking very good is no longer good enough, especially for students who hope to go on to law school or medical school. They know that entrance into the better schools will be an entrance into the better law firms and better medical practices where they will make a lot of money. They also know that the odds are harsh. Yale Law School, for instance, matriculates 170students from an applicant pool of 3,700; Harvard enrolls 550 from a pool of 7,000.
It’s all very well for those of us who write letters of recommendation for our students to stress the qualities of humanity that will make them good lawyers or doctors. And it’s nice to think that admission officers are ready reading our letters and looking for the extra dimension of commitment or concern. Still, it would be hard for a student not to visualize these officers shuffling so many transcripts studded with As that they regard a B as positively shameful.
The pressure is almost as heavy on students who just want to graduate and get a job. Long gone are the days of the “gentleman’s C.” when students journeyed through college with a certain relaxation, sampling a wide variety of courses-music, art, philosophy, classics, anthropology, poetry, religion—that would send them out as liberally educated men and women. If I were an employer I would rather employ graduates who have this range and curiosity than those who narrowly pursued safe subjects and high grades. I know countless students whose inquiring minds exhilarate me. I like to hear the play of their ideas. I do not know if they are getting As or Cs, and I do not care. I also like them as people. The country needs them, and they will find satisfying jobs. I tell them to relax. They cannot.
Nor can I blame them. They live in a brutal economy. Tuition, room, and board at most private colleges now come to at least $7,000, not counting books and fees. This might seem to suggest that the colleges are getting rich. But they are equally battered by inflation. Tuition covers only 60 percent of what it costs to educate a student, and ordinarily the remainder comes from what college receives in endowments, grants, and gifts. Now, the remainder keeps being swallowed by the cruel costs—higher every year—of just opening the doors. Heating oil is up. Insurance is up. Postage is up. Health-premium costs are up. Everything is up. Deficits are up. We are witnessing in American the creation of a brotherhood of paupers—colleges, parents, and students, joined by the common bond of debt.
Today it is not unusual for a student, even if he works part time at college and full time during the summer, to accrue $5,000 in loans after four years—loans that he must start to repay within one year after graduation. Exhorted at commencement to go forth into the world, he is already behind as he goes forth. How could he not feel under pressure throughout college to prepare for this day of reckoning? I have used “he,” incidentally, only for brevity. Women at Yale are under no less pressure to justify their expensive education to themselves, their parents, and society. In fact, they are probably under more pressure. For although they leave college superbly equipped to bring fresh leadership to traditionally male jobs, society has not yet caught up with this fact.
Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure. Inevitably, the two are deeply intertwined.
I see many students taking pre-medical courses with joyless tenacity. They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. It saddens me because I know tem in other corners of their life as cheerful people.
“Do you want to medical school?” I asked them.
“I guess so,” they say, without conviction, or “Not really.”
“Then why are you going?”
“Well, my parents want me to be a doctor. They are paying all this money and …”
Poor students, poor parents, they are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. The parents mean will; they are trying to steer their sons and draughts toward a secure future. But the sons and daughter want to major in history or classics or philosophy—subjects with no “practical” value. Where’s the payoff on the humanities? It’s not easy to persuade such loving parents that the humanities do indeed pay off. The intellectual faculties developed by studying subjects like history and classics—an ability to synthesize and relate, to weigh cause and effect, to see events in perspective—are just the faculties that make creative leaders in business or almost any general field. Still, many fathers would rather put their money on courses that point toward specific profession—courses that are pre-law, pre-medical, pre-business, or, as I sometimes heard it put, “pre-rich.”
But the pressure on students is severe. They are truly torn. One part of them feels obliged to fulfill their parents’ expectations; after all, their parents are older and presumably wiser. Another part tells them that the expectations that are right for their parents are not right for them.
I know a student who wants to be an artist. She is very obviously an artist and will be a good one—she has already had several modest local exhibits. Meanwhile she is growing as a well-round person and taking humanistic subjects that will enrich the inner resources out of which her art will grow. But her father is strongly opposed. He thinks that an artist is a “dumb” thing to be. The student vacillates and tries to please everybody. She keeps up with her art somewhat furtively and takes some of the “dumb” courses her father wants her to take—at least they are dumb courses for her. She is a free spirit on a campus of tense students—no small achievement in it—and she deserves to follow her muse.
Peer pressure and self-induced pressure are also intertwined, and they begin almost at the beginning of freshman year.
“I had a freshman student I’ll call Linda,” one dean told me, “who came in and said she was under terrible pressure because her roommate, Barbara, was much brighter and studied all the time. I could not tell her that Barbara had come in two hours earlier to say the same thing about Linda.”
The story is almost funny—except that it is not. It is symptomatic of all the pressure put together. When every student thinks every other student is working harder and doing better, the only solution is to study harder still. I see students going off to the library every night after dinner and coming back when it closes at midnight. I wish they would sometimes forget about their peers and go to a movie. I hear the clacking of typewriters in the hours before dawn. I see the tension in their eyes when exams are approaching and papers are due: “Will I get everything done?”
Probably they won’t. They will get blocked. They will sleep. They will oversleep. They will bug out.
Part of the problem is that they are expected to do. A professor will assign five page papers. Several students will start writing ten page papers to impress him. Then more students will write ten page papers, and a few will raise the ante to fifteen. Pity the poor student who is still just doing the assignment.
“Once you have twenty or thirty percent of the student population deliberately overexerting,” one dean points out, “It’s bad for everybody. When a teacher gets more and more effort from his class, the student who is doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well. The tactic work, psychologically.”
Why cannot the professor just cut back and not accept longer papers? He can, and he probably will. But by then the term will be half over and the damage done. Grade fever is highly contagious and not easily reversed. Besides, the professor’s main concern is with his course. He knows his students only in relation to the course and does not know that they are also overexerting in their other courses. Nor is it really his business. He did not sign up for dealing with the student as a whole person and with all the emotional baggage the student brought along from home. That’s what deans, masters, chaplains, and psychiatrists are for.
To some extent this is nothing new: a certain number of professors have always been self-contained islands of scholarship and shyness, more comfortable with books than with people. But the new pauperism has widened the gap still further, for professors who actually like to spend time with students do not have as much time to spend. They are also overexerting. If they are young, they are busy trying to publish in order not to perish, hanging by their figure nails onto a shrinking profession.
If they are old and tenured, they are buried under the duties of administering departments—as departmental chairmen or members of committees—that have been thinned out by the budgetary axe.
Ultimately it will be the students’ own business to break the circles in which they are trapped. They are too young to be prisoners of their parents’ dreams and their classmates’ fears. They must be jolted into believing into themselves as unique men and women who have the power to shape their own future.
“Violence is being done to the undergraduate experience,” says Carlos Hortas. “College should be open-ended: at the end it should open many, many roads. Instead, students are choosing their goal in advance, and their choices narrow as they go along. It’s almost as if they think that the country has been codified in the type of jobs that exist-that they’ve got to fit into certain slots. Therefore, fit into the best paying slot.”
“They ought to take chances. Not taking chances will lead to life of colorless mediocrity. They’ll be comfortable. But something in the spirit will be missing.”
I have painted too drab a portrait of today’s students, making them seem a solemn lot. That is only half of their story; if they were so dreary I wouldn’t so thoroughly enjoy their company. The other half is that they are easy to like. They are quick to laugh and to offer friendship. They are not introverts. They are usually kind and are more considerate of one another than any student generation I have known.
Nor are they so obsessed with their studies that they avoid sports and extracurricular activities. On the contrary, they juggle their crowded hours to play on a variety of teams, perform with musical and dramatic groups, and write for campus publications. But this in turn is one more cause of anxiety. There are too many choices. Academically, they have 1,300 courses to select from; outside class they have to decide how much spare time they can spare and how to spend it.
This means that they engage in fewer extracurricular pursuits than their predecessors did. If they want to row on the crew and play in the symphony they will eliminate one; in the ‘60s they would have done both. They also tend to choose activities that are self-limiting. Drama, for instance, is flourishing in all twelve of Yale’s residential colleges, as it never has before. Students hurl themselves into these productions—as actors, directors, carpenters, and technicians—with a dedication to create the best possible play, knowing that the day will come when the run will end and they can get back to their studies.
They also cannot afford to be the willing slave of organizations like the Yale Daily News. Last spring at the one-hundredth anniversary banquet of that paper—who’s past chairmen include such once and future kings as Potter Stewart, Kingman Brewster, and William F. Buckley, Jr.—much was made of the fact that the editorial staff used to be small and totally committed and that “newsies” routinely worked fifty hours a week. In effect they belonged to a club; Newsies is how they defined themselves at Yale. Today’s students will one or two articles a week, when he can, and he defines himself as a student. I’ve never heard the word Newsie except at the banquet.
If I have described the modern undergraduate primarily as a driven creature who is largely ignoring the blithe spirit inside who keeps trying to come out and play, it’s because that’s where the crunch is, not only at Yale but throughout American education. It’s why I think we should all be worried about the values that are nurturing a generation so fearful of risk and so goal-obsessed at such an early age.
I tell students that there is no one “right” way to get ahead—that each of them is a different person, starting from a different point and bound for a different destination. I tell neither them that change is a tonic and that all the slots are not codified nor the frontiers closed. One of my ways of telling them is to invite men and women who have achieved success outside the academic world to come and talk informally with my students during the year. They are heads of companies or ad agencies, editors of magazines, politicians, public officials, television magnates, labor leaders, business executives, Broadway products, artists, writers, economists, photographers, scientists, historians—a mixed bag of achievers.
I asked them to say a few words about how they got started. The students assume that they started in their present profession and knew all along that it was what they wanted to do. Luckily for me, most of them got into their field by a circuitous route, to their surprise, after many detours. The students are startled. They can hardly conceive of a career that was not pre-planned. They can hardly imagine allowing the hand of God or chance to nudge them down some unforeseen trail.
11. To Err Is Wrong
In the summer of 1979, Boston Red Sox first baseman Carl Yastrzemski became the fifteenth player in baseball history to reach the three thousand hit plateaus. This event drew a lot of media attention, and for about a week prior to the attainment of this goal, hundreds of reports covered Yaz’s every more. Finally, one reporter asked, “Hey Yaz, aren’t you afraid all of this attention will go to your head?” Yastrzemski replied, “I look at this way: in my career I’ve been up to bat over ten thousand times. That means I’ve been unsuccessful at the plate over seven thousand times. That fact alone keeps me from getting a swollen head.”?
Most people consider success and failure as opposites, but they are actually both products of the same process. As Yaz suggest, an activity that produces a hit may also produce a miss. It is the same with creative thinking; the same energy that generates good creative ideas also produces errors.
Many people, however, are not comfortable with errors. Our educational system, based on “the right answer” belief, cultivates our thinking in another, more conservative way. From an early age, we are taught that right answers are good and incorrect answers are bad. This value is deeply embedded in the incentive system used in most schools:
Right over 90% of the time = “A”
Right over 80% of the time = “B~”
Right over 70% of the time = “C~” Right over 60% of the time = “D~” Less than 60% correct, you fail.
From this we learn to be right as often as possible and to keep our mistakes to a minimum. We learn, in other words, that “to err is wrong.
Playing It Safe
With this kind of attitude, you aren’t going to be taking too many chances. If you learn that failing even a litter penalizes you (e.g., being wrong only 15% of the time garners you only a “B” performance), you learn not to make mistakes. And more important, you learn not to put yourself to situation where you might fall. This leads to conservative thought pattern designed to avoid the stigma our society puts on “failure”.
I have a friend who recently graduated from college with a Master’s degree in Journalism. For the last six month, she has been trying to find a job, but to no avail. I talked with her about situation, and realized that her problem is that she doesn’t know how to fail. She went through eighteen years of schooling to try any approaches where she might fail. She has been conditioned to believe that failure is bad in and of itself, rather than a potential stepping-stone to new ideas.
Look around. How many middle managers, housewives, administrators, teachers, and other people do you see who are to try anything new because of this failure? Most of us have learned not to make mistakes in public. As a result, we remove ourselves from many learning experience except for those occurring in the most private of circumstances.
Different Logic
From a practical point of view, “to err is wrong” makes sense. Our survival in the everyday world requires us to perform thousand of small tasks without failure. Think about it: you wouldn’t last very long if you were to step out in front of traffic or stick your hand a pot of boiling water. In addition, engineers whose bridges collapse, stock brokers who lose money for their clients, and copywriters whose ad campaigns decrease sales won’t keep their jobs very long.
Nevertheless, too great an adherence to the belief “to err is wrong” can greatly undermine your attempts to generate new ideas. If you are more concerned with producing right answers than generating original ideas, you’ll probably make uncritical use of the rules, formulae, and procedures used to obtain these right answers. By doing this, you’ll by-pass the germinal phase of the creative process, and thus spend litter time testing assumptions, challenging the rules, asking what-if questions, or just playing around with the problem. All of these techniques will produce some incorrect answers, but in the germinal phase errors are viewed as a necessary by-product of creative thinking. As Yaz would put it, “if you want the hits, be prepared for the misses.” That’s the way the game of life goes.
Errors as Stepping Stones
Whenever an error pops up, the usual response is “Jeez, another screw up, what went wrong this time?” the creative thinker, on the other hand, will realize the potential value of errors, and perhaps say something like, “Would you look at that! Where can it lead our thinking?” and then he or she will go on to use the error as a stepping stone to a new idea. As a matter of fact, the whole history of discovery is filed with people who used erroneous assumptions and failed ideas as stepping-stones to new ideas. Columbus thought he was finding a shorter route to India. Johannes Kepler stumbled on to the idea of interplanetary gravity because of assumptions that were right for the wrong reasons. And, Thomas Edison knew 1800 ways not to build a light bulb.
The following story about the automotive genius Charles Kettering exemplifies the spirit of working through erroneous assumptions to good ideas. In 1912, when the automobile industry was just beginning to grow, Kettering was interested in improving gasoline engine efficiency. The problem he faced was“knockthe phenomenon in which gasoline takes too long to burn in the cylinder-thereby reducing efficiency.
Kettering began searching for ways to eliminate the “knock.” He thought to him, “How can I get the gasoline to combust in the cylinder at an earlier time?” the key concept here is “early”. Searching for analogous situations, he looked around for models of “things that happen early.” He thought of historical models, physical models, and biological models. Finally, he remembered a particular plant, the trailing arbutus, which “happens early,” i.e., it blooms in the snow (“earlier” than other plants). One of this plant’s chief characteristics is its’ red leaves, which help the plant retain light at certain wavelengths. Kettering figured that it must be the red color, which made the trailing arbutus bloom earlier.
Now came the critical step in Kettering’s chain of thought. He asked himself, “How can I make the gasoline red?” perhaps I’ll put red dye in the gasoline—maybe that’ll make it combust earlier.” He looked around his workshop, and found that he didn’t have any red dye. But he did happen to have some iodine—perhaps that would do. He added the iodine to the gasoline and, lo and behold, the engine didn’t “knock”.

篇10:初中/高中作文如何在审题中创新立意的写作指导
全文共 1668 字
+ 加入清单一篇优秀的中考作文之所以能从数百万份试卷中脱颖而出,其中必有他值得称赞之处。按照评分标准而言,一般会从选材,立意,语言和结构这样几个方面去衡量,这四个标准里,其中最为阅卷老师欣赏也最让学生头痛的是作文的立意,一边羡慕于别人标新立异的思路,一边又苦于自己落入俗套的构思,这成为很多学生作文档次上升的一个障碍。其实,创新立意并不是天马行空,而是有所根据的,它的根据就来源于卷面已经给出的题目,从审题入手去分析出题人的意图,从审题入手去挖掘更深邃的含义,如何审题审出新意,这是我们接下来几篇连载要集中解决的问题。
第一讲主要解决的是审题方法的问题,创新的前提是审准题,在准确的基础上才能有所新,如果题目审偏了,立意再好也是妄谈,所以首先要解决的问题是如何正确审题。
(一)短题要补充
很多题目我们看起来很简洁,不过三五字,但其实题目越短,审题难度越大,因为它能够给与我们的信息是极为有限的,很多时候让人感觉难以下手,这时我们可以用补充题目的方式让题目变得具体充实有可写性起来。
如写《雪》这样一篇文章
1、在前补充:冬雪,看雪,洁白的雪
2、前后补充:瑞雪兆丰年,冬雪也暖人,风雪中的身影
3、在后补充:雪后,雪的温度,雪的诉说
再如以《朋友》为题写一篇文章
1、在前补充:真诚的朋友,执着的朋友,诚信的朋友,我最敬佩的朋友
2、前后补充:我的朋友叫自信,这个朋友值得尊敬
3、在后补充:朋友的心愿,朋友的真谛,朋友的故事
需要注意的是,补充题目这件事是在我们脑海中完成的,也就是说如果题目中没有要求我们去补充完整题目,那么我们就不要随便改动题目,只是在心中把你要写的内容通过给题目补充,进一步缩小即可,如果补充题目的过程中发现脑海中想出的好几个题目都还不错,怎样取舍呢?这时,可以选择你最熟悉的那个话题,或者你认为最有话可说感触最深的那个去写。
(二)长题抓关键
题目长了有时也会干扰我们审题,原因很简单,各个独立出来的词你不知道到底哪一个是题目的核心,这时就需要抓住题目的关键词去分析,而关键词就是我们平时所说的题眼,我们一般会选择动词,形容词和副词作为题眼,因为这些一般是起修饰和强调作用的,当然题目的主要对象一般是名词,这个是不容忽视的,但是关键是要看修饰它的那个词是什么,你要围绕那个词写什么。
如《这件事教育了我》中的“教育”,《其实并不是这样的》中的“并不是”,《**也美丽》中的“也”,《水仙花开》中的“开”。
(三)标志定体裁
有些题目常带有明显的体裁标志,可帮助我们迅速确定文章的体裁,内容和重点。
1、记叙文的标志:题目中凡带有“记”“忆”“人”“事”“见闻”等字眼,一般都是记叙文。如《回忆我的母亲》《记我的同桌》《值得赞美的人》《假期见闻》《我的初中生活》等。
2、抒情散文的标志:题目中凡有“赞”“颂”“赋”等字眼,一般都是托物言志,借景抒情的散文。如《白杨礼赞》《绿叶颂》《茶花赋》等。
3、说明文的标志:题目中凡带有“制作”“介绍”“说明”“自述”“为什么”“原理”“话”,或直接写某事物的名称,一般应写成说明文,如《文具盒的自述》《森林为什么能防风》《手表的使用和原理》《秋天话菊花》等。
4、议论文的标志:题目中凡是带有“说”“议”“谈”“论”“评”“辩”“驳”“从……谈起”“从……说开去”“读……有感”等字眼,一般都是说明文,如《谈骨气》《由‘滴水石穿’想到的》《读有感》等。
(四)联想化深意
联想就是由甲想到乙,而甲一般是由实际意义的,乙是有象征意义的。
如《圆月》《白杨》《长城颂》《我心中的阳光》就需要用联想法来审题,把这些大家在生活中熟悉的事物与一些具有象征意义的事物联系起来,从而给这个题目赋予更深层的含义。比如:“圆月”联想到中华同胞,“白杨”联想到扎根边疆的志愿者,“长城”联想到战无不胜的人民解放军,“阳光”需要联想温暖,亲情,关爱,希望甚至信仰,这样通过审题文章的寓意就大大深化了。
完成正确审题后,接下去几讲我们会结合具体题目来给同学们分析,如何通过审题来创新立意,请同学们继续关注。
篇11:乱扔垃圾高中英语作文
全文共 3969 字
+ 加入清单导语:保护环境,人人有责。然而在我们身边却有人随地乱扔垃圾。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!
Waste management is a big problem for Australia. Australian population continues to grow and we need to use more and more resources and creating more waste. Wastes are substances that have no further use and if disposed of in land water or air can harm humans or the environment. If we don’t do something for the amount of waste that is produced there is a risk that we may run out of room in landfills or even run out of resources and I conducted the surveys from my friends and neighbours to check how many rubbish we need to waste and what is that.
I conducted 20 surveys asking them about type and amount of waste that they generate each week. The results showed that about 35% of people have 2 bags of rubbish per day. And about 25% of people have 1 and 3 bags of rubbish per day. The rest of them have 8+ bags per week. Do you know how large of the number for the rubbish? If an average weight of 2 kg per bag that’s mean we got about 116+kg per week for 20 household. If we have 23 million people in Australia that’s mean we need to waste about 113.4 million rubbishes per week. That’s a really huge number. And then I want to tell them about which strategies they need to be using to make a positive impact on waste management. If we still waste that lot may be one day all the landfill are full and we have to found a new place to set the rubbish and at that time we will be really regret.
The survey result also showed that there were a number of different types of waste thrown out in each household. Just like I think before most of them are food waste (29%) and the following are plastic (21%) garden waste (18%) paper product (15%) glass (10%) miscellaneous (5%) and the last one is aluminium (2%). As you see food waste still pretty much but we can’t do anything to that right? Therefore we need to improve our waste management by recycling the paper product glass and aluminium rather putting them in the garbage. That will be helpful for reduce landfill and save resources. May be that just a really small number for the rubbishes waste but that will make landfill have a lot space to put other rubbish.
In the survey people were asked to rank which strategies they would be prepared to use to help better manage waste. Most people said use products that can be reused or recycled is the first one the next highest rank is choose to buy goods that have less packaging and join an environmental group establish a worm farm to reduce food waste and put rubbish in a bin not on the ground. The least popular choice is Volunteer to help on ‘clean up Australia day’. These choices show u people want to do something more easily to do and don’t need too much time to spend to do.
I think Australian people need to do one thing good and that does will be fine just need to improve our own waste management by recycling the paper glass and aluminium. If Australian government will check all the time and wanning people that will be more easily. Thank for reading.
【参考译文】
废物管理是澳大利亚的一个大问题。澳大利亚人口继续增长,我们需要使用越来越多的资源和创造更多的浪费。废物是没有进一步利用的物质,如果处置在陆地、水或空气中,会危害人类或环境。如果我们不做一些废物的生产量,有一个风险,我们可能会耗尽在垃圾填埋场的空间,甚至耗尽资源,我进行了调查,从我的朋友和邻居,以检查有多少垃圾,我们需要浪费,是什么。
我进行了20次调查,询问他们每周产生的废物的类型和数量。结果表明,约35%的人每天有2袋垃圾。大约25%的人每天有1袋和3袋垃圾。其余的人每周有8袋。你知道垃圾的数量有多大吗?如果每个袋子的平均重量为2公斤,这意味着我们每周得到大约116 +公斤的20户。如果我们在澳大利亚有2300万人,这意味着我们需要浪费大约1亿1340万的垃圾每周。这是一个非常庞大的数字。然后,我想告诉他们,他们需要使用哪些策略对废物管理产生积极的影响。如果我们仍然浪费了很多,也许有一天所有的垃圾填埋场是充分的,我们必须找到一个新的地方设置垃圾,在那个时候,我们将是真正的遗憾。
调查结果还显示,每家每户都有一些不同类型的垃圾被扔掉。就像我以前认为的,大部分是食物垃圾(29%),下面是塑料(21%),花园垃圾(18%),纸制品(15%),玻璃(10%),杂项(5%),最后一个是铝(3)。正如你看到的食物垃圾仍然相当多,但我们不能做任何事情,对不对?因此,我们需要通过回收纸制品、玻璃和铝来改善废物管理,而不是把它们放进垃圾桶里。这将有助于减少填埋和节约资源。可能是对于垃圾废物只是一个很小的数字,但这将使垃圾有很多空间放其他垃圾。
在调查中,人们被要求排列哪些策略,他们将准备使用,以帮助更好地管理废物。大多数人说,使用的产品,可重复使用或回收是第一个,下一个排名最高的是选择购买的货物,减少包装和加入环保集团,建立一个蠕虫农场,以减少食物浪费,把垃圾放在一个垃圾桶,而不是在地面上。最不受欢迎的选择是自愿帮助“清理澳大利亚日”。这些选择表明你,人们想做的事情更容易做,不需要太多的时间去做。
我认为澳大利亚人民需要做一件好事,这将是罚款,只是需要改善我们自己的废物管理,回收纸张,玻璃和铝。如果澳大利亚政府将检查所有的时间和万宁人,那样会更容易。
篇12:2024年小学英语写作方法指导
全文共 3972 字
+ 加入清单在我们当前的小学英语教学中,教师往往只组织大量的听、说、读的活动,而忽视对写的有效训练;就是在训练“写”,也只是写写单词、写写句型和课文,并没有深入到培养学生“写”的综合技能。部分教师甚至还存在着一些错误的认识,认为写作教学和训练过于费时,影响教学进度;写作作业难批改;写作教学枯燥,易降低课堂的活力;英文写作对小学生而言太难了等等。但是,儿童语言能力的发展是综合的,听、说、读、写各项能力之间互相制约,互相促进,任何一项能力的滞后都会影响到其他能力的发展。我们应该更新教学观念,设计一些符合学生认知规律、实效性较高的写作活动,促进学生英语技能的全面发展。下面是我对小学英语写作教学一些浅显的看法。
一、 由易到难,培养学生的写作兴趣
对于小学生来说创造性地运用语言确实有一定的难度,所以在写作教学中,教师应针对儿童的年龄特点和语言水平,设计难易适中且充满童趣的写作任务。俗话说得好,兴趣是最好的老师。要培养学生对英语写作的兴趣,首先就要有对英语学习的兴趣。而且要将低、中年级学生的直接兴趣慢慢培养成高年级学生的间接兴趣。尤其是对于低年级的学生词汇量有限,教师更要根据教材的主题或语言内容设计学生易完成的写作任务。如对于中年级的学生,教师可能将阅读材料中的一些关键词或词组挖空,让学生联系上下文猜词填空。如通过填词练习让学生描述动物:
My pet
I have a _______. It is _______ and ________. It has got _____. It has got _______ and ________. It can ________. It can _______, too. It eats _______. My parents like _______ very much. We are ______ friends.
这种填词的练习,既能训练学生的阅读能力,又能培养学生初步的语篇意识,并为高年级的写作打下了基础。循序渐进的学习,既能让学生体验成功,也能让学生建立写作的信心和兴趣。
二、抓好课本教学,夯实英语基础
要想写好一遍好的英语作文,离不开单词的积累。单词是一篇作文最基础的部分,过分强调它是不妥,但却也不能忽略。强大的单词积累是写好一篇作文的后盾。所以,不管在课堂上,还是在课后,都要强调学生掌握好单词的拼写和单词的运用,夯实英语写作的基础。
在小学,学生的主要学习时间是课堂学习时间。学生的主要知识来源于课本,课本是学生学习的根本。课本给学生提供基本的句型,语法知识,词汇等。所以,对于课本中的内容,可适当要求学生背诵,小学生善于模仿,通过背诵课文,一些句子就会在学生心中生根发芽,学生就会有意无意地模仿这样的句子进行写作。课文中的句子一般来说是很规范的,学生的写作也会较规范。记忆中的课文也是学生写作时句子处理的依据。凭语感和课文结构,利用个人的智慧和对作文题目及要求的理解,学生会写出语法正确,句意通顺,结构严谨规范的作文。
三、 广泛阅读,拓展知识面
古人云“读书破万卷,下笔如有神” , 阅读是写作的基础,大量的、广泛的阅读,才能加强学生理解和吸收书面信息的能力,有助于巩固和扩大学生词汇量,增强语感,丰富学生的语言知识,了解英语国家的文化背景。实践证明,学生平时课外阅读面越宽,语言实践量越大,运用英语表达自己的能力就越强。通过日积月累的积累,学生在自然的习得中学得大量了的英语单词、句子,形成较好的语感。为学生更好地写作打下了坚实的基础。但在选择课外阅读材料时,还要注意:文章太易,不利于知识的提高,文章太难会挫伤学生阅读英语的积极性。这就需要教师做好充分的阅读准备,选择好难易适中的文章
广泛的英语阅读还可以让学生尽可能地了解英汉差异。许多学生写英文短文,都习惯用汉语去思考。写出来的句子,读起来很拗口,句意生硬,令人费解。甚至有的学生将汉语句子逐一对照译成英语单词,拼凑成句子。如:上个星期天,我爸爸坐船去了上海。译文成了:Last Sunday ,I father sit ship go to Shanghai. 令人啼笑皆非。究其原因是学生不明白英汉两种语言表达上的差异。如,汉语中没有时态和语态的复杂变化,只借助于助词“着,了,过”。而英语则有复杂的时态和语态变化以及动词短语,介词短语等一些固定搭配,动词与其主语的一致,称谓的一致等等。让学生进行广泛的英语阅读可以降低这样尴尬的机率,在不断的阅读中拓展知识面。这样才能在实际运用中应用地恰到好处,英语写作才能更规范,更标准,更符合英美人的表达习惯。
四、培养学生的写作热情
众所周知,写作和口语都是语言输出的重要方面。写作是人们学习、运用英语的综合技能的表现,教授学生英语写作能够检验和巩固学生综合的语言知识,在写作过程中,学生有一定的时间去思考、组织、修改、判断,有利于培养和提高学生的语言综合能力;能让学生去辨别口语语体和书面语体的异同,尤其是不同的句型、表达方式和选词造句;能增强学生的自信心,哪怕正确地写出一句、两句话或一小段,一旦受到鼓励,学生都会欣喜若狂,学习英语的兴趣会更加强烈;有利于培养学生直接用英语思维的习惯,尤其是限时写作,学生必须在规定的时间内完成规定的内容,他们就不可能先用母语思考,再译成英语,而是直接用英语来思考;写作可给予学生发挥自己的想象力和创造力,作为老师应仔细观察并珍惜学生的每一次创举,并能及时地对该同学给予肯定和高度赞扬,鼓励他大胆地、尽情地去想象,那么学习英语就没那么枯燥了,写作的热情也会日渐高涨了。
积极带领学生参加教育在线,让他们把自己的作品放在网络上,一方面向别人学习的同时也可以感受到众人欣赏自己作品的那种欣喜;选择优秀的学生作品进行投稿,如《双语阅读》和《小学生英语报》等这些学生常见的刊物,对作品发表的同学进行奖励,这样更能够激发他们的写作欲望。
五、由浅入深,开展扎实的写作训练
写作和任何形式的知识一样都是可以通过训练加以提高的。基础知识和能力并重,听、说、读和写并举。在平时的教学中可应充分利用一切可以利用的机会启发、引导学生提高自己的写作水平。如遇到优秀的句、段或篇提示学生注意欣赏作者的表达法,把它们作为范例,在自己写作中加以模仿和运用。又如遇到英汉表达方法不同之处,提示学生注意英语的正确表达法,切忌出现汉语式的英语。要帮助学生养成正确运用标点符号的好习惯,切忌一点到底的错误方法。
1、坚持循序渐进的训练原则。
用学过的词、短语或句式,模仿课文中的表达法造句。换课文中的人物、时态、语态或体裁等改写课文。将打乱顺序的句子按事件发展的时间顺序或逻辑关系等整理成一篇完整的短文。总而言之,写作要先易后难,先短后长,先写好正确的句子逐步过渡到围绕一个人、一件事、一个观点去写有中心的文章,由不限定时间到限定时间,由限定字数少到多,由一句话日记到一段话日记,由看图作文到命题作文,经过日记,看图写作的训练,学生在写作能力上有了一定的提高,英语表达能力也有很大的进步。这时,可根据学生的教材,就每个单元不同的学习内容提供一个命题作文给学生练笔。这些题目紧扣他们学习的内容,书本上的内容给他们写作提供了模仿的对象,而且跟他们的生活也息息相关。
2、分层要求,注意讲评,鼓励优秀,耐心帮助差生。
对学生的要求不能一刀切,对学习好的要求要高,对学习差的要求要适当低一些。充分利用板报、专栏进行优秀作文展览,经常帮助差生树立信心,掌握写作方法和技巧。英语作文讲评过程中要经常指出优点,以利模仿,指出缺点,警示避免。在训练写作时,要少给学生完整的范文。因为如果经常给学生范文,很容易让学生产生依赖性,不愿意自己动手去写。而是等着老师念范文,自己去背。长此以往学生肯定会背烦的,背烦了就更不愿去写了。会造成一个恶性循环。不利于提高学生的写作水平,更不用说培养语言能力了。
3、小组合作,共同提高
对于一些难度较大、范围较广的写作内容,可以通过开展合作写作来完成。在合作写作的过程中,他们有机会互相交流,集思广益,取人之长,补已之短;他们可能学习写作,指导写作,分享作品。例如:在六年级教学My favourite festivals 这一主题时,让学生以小组形式搜集各节日的有关资料,然后集体讨论,一人执笔写作,最后交流。在合作中写作,既给学生留有独立思考的空间,又可促进他们互相帮助与学习。
4、适当指导
学生动笔写作前,教师要给予必要的指导,不是给个题目或者一幅图,就要求学生动笔写。为了使他们少犯错误。教师还要经常性地列举错误的表达法,提醒学生注意避免。在批阅作文时教师要随时标出学生错误之处,并要随时记录学生所犯错误,把学生的错误加以归类总结,把普遍性的错误提出来,让学生集体改错,使他们的语言表达尽可能的正确规范。
六、鼓励学生资源共享,共同进步
在平时的教学中,我鼓励学生大胆地阅读课外英语资料,鼓励学生搜索网上的英语资料,学生的作品通过不同的方式与读者交流,读者包括教师、同学和家长。让学生各自交流作品的方式有朗诵、出墙报、制作英语小卡片,制作手抄报,写好读书笔记等,将全班学生的手抄报装订成册,搜集全班学生的各种作品,本班学生的作品互相交流,同年级不同班的学生作品也互相交流阅读,集中群体的智慧,内容丰富多彩,五花八门,既适合他们的年龄特征又能供学生课余阅读,拓展视野,达到交流学习的目的,我还设想将学生的电子手抄报发送到我校校园网,以供更多的学生欣赏。除此之外,在评价学生的写作作品时,做到有的放矢,灵活有序,实施本人评价、小组评价,家长评价和老师评价,对学生的进步及时充分的肯定。
总之,英语写作需要平时一点一滴的积累,每一步都不能少,持之以恒的训练。作为英语教师,需要不断的探索和总结。
篇13:2024年初中英语作文写作技巧
全文共 1442 字
+ 加入清单小编导语:英语作文是英语考试中的一个得分点,那么在写作过程中有什么技巧呢,下面是小编收集整理的相关资料,希望对您有所帮助。
1、首尾呼应,画龙点睛在文章的结尾,把含义较深的话放在末尾,以点明主题,深化主题,起到画龙点睛的效果。如“I Cannot Forget Her” (我忘不了她)的结尾:
After her death, I felt as if something were missing in my life. I was sad over her passing away, but I knew she would not have had any regrets at having given her life for the benefit of the people.
2、重复主题,句结尾回到文章开头阐明的中心思想或主题句上,达到强调的效果。如“I Love My Home Town”(我爱家乡)的结尾:
I love my home town, and I love its people. They too have changed. They are going all out to do more for the good of our motherland.
3、自然结尾随着文章的结束,文章自然而然地结尾。如“Fishing”(钓鱼)的结尾:
I caught as many as twenty fish in two hours, but my brother caught many more. Tired from fishing, we lay down on the river bank, bathing in the sun. We returned home very late.
4、含蓄性的结尾
用比喻或含蓄的手法不直接点明作者的看法,而是让读者自己去领会和思考。如“A Day of Harvesting”(收割的日子)的结尾:
Evening came before we realized it. We put down our sickles and looked at each other. Our clothes were wet with sweat, but on every face there was a smile.
5、用反问结尾
虽然形式是问句,但意义却是肯定的,并具有特别的强调作用,引起读者深思。如“Should We Learn to Do Housework?”(我们要不要学做家务?) 的结尾。
Everyone should learn to do housework. Dont you agree, boys and girls?
6、指明方向,激励读者结尾表示对将来的展望,或期待读者投入行动。如“Lets Go in for Sports”(让我们参加体育运动)的结尾:As we have said above, sports can be of great value. They not only make people live happily but also help people to learn virtues and do their work bettter. A sound mind is in a sound body. Lets go in for sports.

+ 加入清单Recently, the Prince Harry announced his engagement with an American
actress. When the media asked him when he decided this girl would be his
lifetime partner, he said the moment when he saw her for the first time. Love at
first sight sounds romantic and many young people believe that the first feeling
about another person is really important, because it always decides whether they
can be couples in the following days. While many old people think love at first
sight doesnt exist, because they need to know the personality, which will
decide the charm of another person. For a relationship, the good first
impression can bring passion and love, but it cant maintain the relationship
for lifetime. The way to get along with each other and the tolerance of both
sides are key factors to decide whether a couple can stay forever.
篇15:初中英语作文写作技巧精选
全文共 1003 字
+ 加入清单要点:实际上中考英语写作就等于两个字,翻译!因为中考英语写作一般会给出几个要点,要求必须在文章中有所体现。文章写的再好,只要缺少要点就会扣分。所以要点,也就是文章的第二段内容,要做到全,围绕中心。
结构:中考最流行的结构就是三段式,深受各地区中考英语写作阅卷老师的喜爱。为什么尼?因为这种结构十分清晰。“观点——要点——总结”让人一目了然。三段式的第一段:简单明了,开门见山,不超过2句话,如,我们想表达小强很强壮,第一段直接说XQis extremely strong。观点明确,这一句足矣。
第二段:分2-3点说为什么他强壮。1. 每天吃10顿饭,He has ten mealseveryday!详举吃的是什么。2. 每天运动2小时,He does exercise 2 hours a day!详举做了什么运动。
第三段:经过第二段的论证,可以得出结论。但请注意,不能完全照抄第一段,要有升华。也可以提出希望和建议等。如,Howstrong and robust XQ is!I hope to be him one day!
逻辑:这里的逻辑实际指的就是逻辑词。最常用的就是表示递进的,转折的,总结的逻辑词等。递进:除了first,second,third,finally等还可以使用高级点的,如first of all(首先),in addition,whatsmore,moreover(都是另外的意思),in a word,all inall(表示总结的)。转折:but,yet,however等。真正有经验的阅卷老师会很注意这些逻辑连接词,因为这些词体现了这个文章的思路。
语法:其他几点都不是硬性的要求,不那样做不能说是错,只能说是不好,但是语法却是硬性的。如,单词的使用,时态等。
亮点:当我们将前八个字都做得很完美的时候也只能得到一个二等文的上。要想得到一等文,最后两个字,亮点至关重要。大家设想如果我们是阅卷老师。有两篇写人美丽的作文摆在我们面前,都是结构清晰的三段式,要点都很全,都用了一些逻辑词,都没有语法错误,但是A篇只用了beautiful,good-looking,B篇却用到了attractive,charming,catching等,我坚信正常人都会给B篇高分的。这些高级一点的词汇,词组,句型便是我们得到一等文的最有力的绝招。所以,以后写英语作文要养成一般词汇限量用的好习惯。

关于城市介绍高中英语作文篇2
Beijing is an ancient city with a long history. Back in 3000 years ago in Zhou dynasty, Beijing, which was called Ji at the moment, had been named capital of Yan. Thereafter, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty all made Beijing their capital. Therefore, Beijing was famous for "Capital of a thousand years".
The long history leaves Beijing precious cultural treasure. Winding for several kilometers in Beijing area, the Great Wall is the only man-made structure that could been seen in the space.

成语“一字值千金”也说明了选择词语的极端重要性。有时“一字之差”造成令人遗憾的败笔,或招致成千上万的经济损失。这些反面的教训也告诉我们必须重视词语选用的问题。
2.词语选择的可能性
实际上,我们每个人的脑子里都有了一个或大或小的词库,只要我们肯去发掘,往往可以得到更好的表达方式。这是我们做好词语选用的主观条件。
从客观条件广看,我们有各种类型的词典和参考书,只要我们平时多翻译、多阅读,写作时勤查考,就会在词语选用上不断进步。当然,一部好词典也不会毫无缺点,更难以面面俱到,因此在这里我们应牢牢记住著名英国作家、评论家和辞书编纂家Johson的话:
