篇1:如何提高商务英语写作
全文共 2313 字
+ 加入清单转变英语学习观念,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。

篇4:2024考研英语写作基础知识之标点与书写
全文共 1119 字
+ 加入清单考研英语大纲对于考研英语作文的评分标准有明确规定,其中一项标准表述如下“标点符号反映语言准确性的一个方面。评分时,要视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。如书写较差,以致影响读者理解,将分数降低一个档次”。还有一些考生英语基本功不太扎实,在进行英语写作时甚至出现一“逗”到底的情况,没有养成正确的书写习惯。以下是英语写作基础知识之标点与书写详细内容:
一、标点符号
标点符号有助于明确或强调句子的意思,而且,考研英语作文评分标准中要求考生在写作时使用的标点符号要正确,因而有必要学会正确使用各种英文标点符号。此处提出一些基本规则,在学习写作时应特别注意并牢记。
1. 结构完整的句子,不论长短,后面都用句号。
2. 不要用逗号连接两个并列句;应用逗号加连词,或用分号。
3. 把逗号和句号分清:逗号带个小尾巴(,)句号是个黑圆点(.),不是一个圆圈(。),中文的句号才为小圆圈。
4. 在疑问句后用问号,但在改为间接引语的问句后不用问号:
“Have you done your exercise?” the teacher asked.
The teacher asked whether we had done our exercises.
5. 感叹句只用在需要强调的感叹句或表示强烈感情的词语后面。不要用得太多。
6. 直接引语应放在两个引号之间。说话人和表示“说”的动词可放在引语前面、后面或中间:
She said, “We have decided to take the examination.”
“We have decided to take the examination,” she said.
“We have decided, “she said, “to take the examination.”
注意上面三个句子的标点符号用法。第一句中的She said后面用逗号;第二句的引语后用逗号,she是小写;第三句在decided和she said后面都用逗号,而且引语的第二部分也用小写字母开始。总之,一面与和she said被视作一个句子,只是引语的第一词要大写。
二、书写
应细心书写,便于别人阅读。大写字母应稍大于并稍高于小写字母,a和o, n和u要分清,i和j上面要加一点, t要加一横。在逗号后空处约一个字母的间隔,在句号后则空处约两个字母的间隔。
如要划去一个词,不能用括号把它括起来,因为括号中的词还是要的;而要用粗线把它勾销。如果要增加一个词,应加在已写的一行词上面,不要加在下面,还要用清楚的符号表明加在何处。
常见的手写字体有两种:一种是所谓草体,即字母相连;另一种是所谓印刷体,即字母不相连。两种字体都可以,但最好坚持用一种。
篇5:初中英语作文写作方法技巧
全文共 2935 字
+ 加入清单英语作文怎么写?写不好作文是很多初中生存在的问题。而作文是初中英语考试的重要内容,怎么才能写一篇高分英语作文呢?下面是星火小编给大家总结的一些英语写作经验,大家可以看看。
要写好作文,首先要写好开头,怎么写开头呢?下面是一些不同的开头表达方式,大家可以参考看看。
“开门见山”式开头
即要用简单明了的语言引出文章的话题,使人一开始就能了解文章要说明的内容。
①.对于叙事类的文章,可以在开头把人物、时间、事件和环境交代清楚。
如“A Trip to Huangshan(黄山之旅)”的开头就可以是:Last month, my family went to Huangshan by train. It took us ten hours to get there. What a long and tiring journey! We were tired but the beautiful scenery excited us.
②.对于论述性的文章,可以在开头处先阐明自己的观点,接着展开进一步的论述。
如“The Time and the Money(时间和金钱)”的开头可以是:Most people say that money is more important than time. But I don’t think so. First, when money is used up, you can earn it back,but?
这样就将自己想要谈到的话题表达清楚了,接下来再继续论述就可以了。
回忆性开头
在描述事件或游记类的文章中,采用回忆性的开头往往更能吸引人的眼球。这种类型的开头中通常含有描述自己心情或情绪的词汇,如never forget (永远无法忘记), remember (记得),unforgettable (难以忘怀的), exciting(令人激动的),surprising(令人惊讶的), sad (难过的)……如“A Trip to Huangshan(黄山之旅)”的开头还可以这样写:I will never forget my first trip to Huangshan. 或It was really an unforgettable experience I had.
疑问性开头
在叙事类或论述性的文章中,都可采用疑问型开头,这样既可以吸引阅卷者的注意又容易抓住中心。
如“Planting Trees(种树)”的开头可以是:Have you ever planted trees? Don’t you think planting trees is ……
再如“Traveling Abroad(出国之旅)”的开头可以是:If you have an opportunity to travel abroad, why not consider Singapore?
倒叙式开头
在有的文章,特别是叙事类的文章中,可以采用倒叙的写作手法,先写出事件的结果,再陈述过程。
如“Catching Thieves (捉贼)”的开头可以这样写:I lay in bed in the hospital. I smiled at my friends even though my legs hurt. Do you want to know what happened to me? Let me tell you. It’s a … story.
倒叙式的写法有一些难写,并且在写作过程中很有可能出现时态混淆的问题,在此建议大家在写作过程中尽量不要倒叙式的方式,避免犯错。
开了一个好头之后,当然要开始写文章的主体部分了,那就是文章的正文。
文章的正文应以文章的开头为线索,具体地叙述、说明或论证文章的主题。文章不论长短,每个段落都必须为主题服务。像说明文和议论文这一类的文章,一个主题还常分成几个小主题,每个小主题要用一个段落处理,另起一段时,应是一层新的意思。每一段的开头,要放一个表示段落小主题的主题句,这样可使文章条理化,易于阅读,便于读者抓住主题。段内的所有句子应围绕主题句的意义加以阐述或论证,为中心思想服务。句子之间应衔结自然,有条不紊,而且还要合乎逻辑,段落中不能出现任何与主题无关的句子;英语写作比较重视主题句的作用,缺少它段落意义就会含糊不清。主题句也可放在段落的中间和末尾等部位,但对初学者来说,以放在段首为好。
在记叙文中,段的结构有时可以很简单,不需要有主题句,叙事一气呵成,中途没有停顿。段与段之所以分开,只是为了起修辞作用,以便把某一细节置于显著的地位。
分段是文章组织上重要的一步,在写一篇文章的时候,一般都会将文章分为3段,第一段也就是文章的开头,第二段是主体部分,第三段自然就是结尾了。当然也可以分成4段等,不管怎么分段,都请大家要记住,在写一篇作文的时候,一定不可以不分段。
接下来就是文章的结尾了,以下是一些写好结尾的方法
1.自然结尾,点明主题。随着文章的结束,文章自然而然地结尾。
如“Helping the Policeman(帮助警察)”的结尾可以是:The two children were praised by the police and they felt happy.
再如“The Tortoise and the Hare(龟兔赛跑)”的结尾可以是:When the hare got to the tree, the tortoise had already been there。
2.首尾呼应,升华主题。在文章的结尾可以用含义较深的话点明主题,深化主题,起到“画龙点睛”的效果。
如“I Love My Hometown(我爱家乡)”的结尾可以是:I love my hometown, and I am proud of it.
3.反问结尾,引起深思。这种方式的结尾虽然形式是问句,但意义却是肯定的,而且具有一定的强调作用,可引起他人的深思。
如 “Learning English can Give us a Lot of Pleasure (学英语能为我们带来许多乐趣)” 的结尾可以是:If we learn English well, we can …Don’t you think learning English is great fun?
4.表达祝愿,阐述愿望
这种方式的结尾常出现在书信或演讲稿的文体中,表示对他人的祝福或对将来的展望等。
如“A Letter to the Farmers(给农民们的一封信)”的结尾可以是:I hope the farmers’life will be better and better. 另外,书信的结尾常有以下形式的祝福语:Best wishes;I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year;I wish you have a good time等。
第四种方法在中考作文中并不会太常用到,中考作文一般都不会要求写关于书信方面的文章,大家可以只是稍加了解。

篇8:1汉语环境影响英语写作的几个方面
全文共 743 字
+ 加入清单1.1词汇方面
如果把写英语作文比作建楼房的话,英语词汇在英语写作中起着砖、瓦的作用,是句子的最基本的组成部分,所以词汇是我们高中英语教学中的重点,单词听写是课堂教学必不可少的一个环节,但学生的词汇量毕竟有限,遇到问题时,便会用汉语词汇去补充英语词汇的空缺。
例如:交通十分繁忙。误:The traffic is busy. 正:The traffic is heavy.
她和一位教授结婚了。误:She married with a professor.
正:She married a professor.
英语词语的词义往往比较复杂,并和汉语有着一定区别。这种不同就会会导致学生仅把写作当作一词一句的翻译来做,结果是事倍功半。
1.2语法方面
英语中难点就是时态,语态的掌握。英语中常用时态共十六种,语态分为主动语态与被动语态,语气有陈述语气与虚拟语气之分。不同的时态有它特有的句法结构。如现在进行时态使用be+v-ing形式来表示。现在完成时则用have/has +p.p来表示。一般将来时则用shall/will/be going to+v来表示。英语中时间意义的表达是通过动词的时和体来加以反映,而汉语中不存在时、体等,汉语则依靠表示时间的副词(如“曾经”、“正在”、“已经”、“将要”)作状语,或利用虚词“了”、“着”、“过”等作补语这一语法手段来体现,动词本身无任何变化。在英语中,“already”和“ever”常常用在完成时态之中,不能与表示过去的时间状语连用。学生常常把上述句子错译成“Yesterday I have been to the park.”“Five years ago,they have known each other.”又如在英语中,我们常常用否定前置来
篇9:略谈提高英语写作能力的方法
全文共 1112 字
+ 加入清单书面表达是英语写作的重要组成部分,有不少学生觉得用英语写作很难,不知从何练起。笔者教学实践发现,首先要具备扎实的基础知识,抓住课本教学来培养学生的写作能力,立足教材,由易到难,由浅入深,采取多种形式来加强书面表达训练,这样英语写作水平才能得到提高。
一是通过词汇教学训练写作能力。要写好文章不是一朝一夕就能达到的,必须从最基础的词汇入手。教学中,教师要注意加强词汇方面的训练,力求给学生交代清楚每一个词语的具体用法。对一些重点的、核心的词汇讲清,讲透每个词语的单独用法和搭配用法。为了更有效地与课本结合起来,每学完一个单元,根据本单元的单词、短语造句,举一反三,帮助学生扩大词汇量,使学生词不离句,强化写作训练。
二是通过一句多译练习训练写作能力。就七年级学生而言,他们虽然接触英语学习时间不长,但教师还是要注重引导学生多做一些一句多译练习,这样有助于启发学生的写作思路。考试时选择自己有把握的句子灵活地表达同一内容,减少失误,提高得分率。通过做汉译英练习,暴露出学生受母语影响的问题,对这些问题我及时进行讲评和纠正。这样,有利于培养和规范学生的英语表达能力。
三是结合课文进行各种体裁的写作训练。目前,信息来源的渠道多种多样,学生课文中有记叙、日记、通知、便条、书信、广告和说明等多种体裁,文中还有大量的插图,教师可利用图片让学生进行看图写作。要学好英语写作就必须从课文练起,从一些常见的文体练起,由短到长,由浅入深,循序渐进地进行。
四是通过背诵训练写作。培养学生的英语写作能力,以课文为中心训练写作能力非常重要,因为课文中的句子就是规范的英语范文。因此,每学完一篇课文或对话,教师就要要求学生背诵,然后默写。这样使学生把词语放在句型、段落、篇章中去理解、记忆和体味,以至于能够仿写、改写。
五是通过仿写和改写训练写作能力。仿写也是提高英语写作能力行之有效的方法,模仿写作中,格式、构思、表达方式等方面都可模仿。但要提醒学生注意灵活变通,语句要通顺,符合英语表达习惯。仿写前要从时态,句型,内容选材等方面对学生加以辅导,指导学生怎样模仿,特别提醒学生注意时态。
另外,改写也是一种很好的方法,改写就是对文章材料的文体、式样、句式等进行改编的一种训练方式。无论是改人称、改时态,还是改对话材料为叙述文字,这都有助于学生复习巩固所学知识,又能培养学生所学知识的迁移运用能力,还能起到提高学生的写作能力。
总之,要提高学生的英语写作能力,就要培养学生养成良好的学习习惯。即:重视词、短语、造句,优秀的对话和课文要背诵,多做翻译练习,练习改写和仿写,结合课文进行各种体裁的写作训练。只有坚持不懈,持之以恒,才能写出准确、地道、规范的英语文章。
篇10:关于英语说明文的写作方法
全文共 8391 字
+ 加入清单就“说明对象”而言,英语说明文可分为对“客观具体事物”的说明和对“主观抽象观念”的说明两大类,比如:对“LASER(激光)”、“Computer Problem of Year XX(计算机XX年问题)”等等的说明都是对客观或者具体事物的说明,而“The Successful Interview(谈成功的面试)”、“How to Write Good English Composition(如何才能写好英语作文)” 等是对主观抽象观念的说明。对我们中学生朋友来说,在汉语说明文的教学中似乎比较侧重前者,即解释客观具体事物的说明文。但在英语说明文中,阐述和说明 “主观抽象观念”的说明文占了很大的比重,其中有些类似汉语中的议论文。但是无论是对“客观具体事物”的说明还是对“主观抽象观念”的阐述,英语说明文从结构上看大致可分为三个部分:第一部分一般是文章的第一段,提出文章的主题,也就是说,文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容;第二部分是文章的主体,可由若干个段落组成,对文章的主题进行展开说明;第三部分是结尾段,对文章的主题作归纳总结。从英语说明文的结构可以看出,要写好英语说明文的关键在于第二部分如何对文章主题进行展开说明。在英语中,常见的用来展开文章主题的方法有下列几种:
1.罗列法(listing)
在文章开始时提出需要说明的东西和观点,然后常用first,second,…and finally加以罗列说明。罗列法广泛地使用于各类指导性的说明文之中,下面这篇学生作文就是用罗列法写成的:
Early Rising
Early rising (早起) is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us fit (健康)。 We all need fresh air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, we can do good to our health from doing morning exercise (做早操)。
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. We learn more quickly in the morning, and find it easier to remember what we learn in the morning.
Thirdly, early rising enables (使能够) us to plan the work of the day. We cannot work well without a good plan. Just as the plan for the year should be made in the spring, so the plan for the day should be made in the morning.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our faces and hands and eat our breakfast properly.
Late risers may find it very difficult to form the habit of early rising. They ought to make special efforts to do so. As the English proverb says,“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
罗列法经常用下列句式展开段落,我们可以注意模仿学习:
There are several good reasons why we should learn a foreign language. First of all, …Secondly, …And finally, …
We should try our best to plant more trees for several good reasons First of all, …Secondly, …And finally,
必须指出的是,有时罗列法并不一定有明确的first, second…等词,但文章还是以罗列论据展开的。
2.举例法(examples)
举例法是用具体的例子来说明我们要表达的意思,常用for example, for instance, still another example is…等词语引出。下面这篇学生作文就是用举例法写成的:
Recreation
It is impossible to keep in good health unless we take enough recreation (娱乐)。 The mind, too, needs change to make it fresh and vigorous (有活力的) There is much truth in the old saying, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.“
There are many games which boys and girls can play after their school work is done, for instance, football, tennis, and kite-flying. Other examples of recreation are boating, fishing, gardening, cycling, walking, chess-playing, and reading. Persons who sit much at their business should take a kind of recreation that will supply their muscles (肌肉) with exercise. Those who spend most of their time in the open air and do manual work (体力活) should adopt (采纳) reading or some other quiet form of recreation.
Cycling is said to be an important means of recreation, but many persons foolishly tire out themselves by cycling too much. The same may be said in regard to football. Tennis is a pleasant form of recreation. Many persons take great delight in boating. Fishing requires much patience, and there is much danger of taking cold by sitting still on a cold day too long. A good brisk (轻松) walk is one of the finest forms of exercise. For persons engaged in outdoor labor, chess-playing is another excellent form of recreation.
可以看出,举例法和罗列法有时可以结合使用:即用罗列法来列出例子,用例子充实罗列的说明。
3.比较法(comparison and contrast)
比较法是对两个对象进行比较,从而进行说明的写作手法。比较法又可细分为比较相同点(comparison)和比较不同点(contrast)两种方法,比如:
From Paragraph to Essay
Although they are different in length (长度), the paragraph and the essay are quite similar in structure (结构)。 For example, the paragraph starts with either a topic sentence (主题句) or a topic introducer followed by a topic sentence. In the essay, the first paragraph sets up the topic focus (主题所在) Next, the sentences in the body of a paragraph develop the topic sentence. Similarly, the body of an essay consists of a number of paragraphs that discuss and support the ideas given in the introductory (引导的) paragraph. Finally, a concluding sentence (结束句) ——whether a restatement, conclusion, or observation——ends the paragraph. The essay, too, has a concluding paragraph which ends the essay logically and satisfactorily. Although there are some exceptions (例外), most well written expository (说明文的) paragraphs and essays are similar in structure.
可以看出,在比较相同点的时候,常用到similarly,also,too,in the same case,in spite of the difference等这样的词语。
European Football and American Football
Although European football is the parent of American football, the two games show several major differences. European football, sometimes called association football or soccer, is played in 80 countries, making it the most widely played sport in the world. American football, on the other hand, is popular only in North America (the United States and Canada)。 Soccer is played by eleven players with a round ball. Football, also played by eleven players in somewhat different positions (位置) on the field, is played with an elongated (拉长的) round ball. Soccer has little body contact (接触) between players and therefore needs no special protective equipment. Football, in which players make the greatest use of body contact to stop a running ball-carrier and his teammates, needs special protective equipment. In soccer, the ball is advanced toward the goal by kicking it or by butting (顶) it with the head. In American football, on the other hand, the ball is passed from hand to hand or carried in the hands across the opponents (对手) goal. These are just a few of the features which distinguish (区别) association and American football.
这是一篇用比较不同点的手法写的说明文。从文章中可以看出:however,on the other hand,in contrast,but,nevertheless等表示转折的词语常用来引导对不同点的比较。
4.定义法(definition)
定义法也是英语说明文中常用的写作手法,特别是在对具体事物概念进行说明时经常使用。定义法的基本要素是定义句。英语中常见定义句的模式是:
被定义对象is所属类别+限制性定语
可以看出,定义句中限制性定语越详细,定义就越精确,比如:
A bat is a small mouse-like animal that flies at night and feeds on(以……为食品)fruit and insects but is not a bird.
其实,在英—英词典中,对英语单词的英文解释就是定义法的典型例子。比如,看看Longman词典对student和teacher的定义是很有意思的:A student is a person who is studying at a place of education or training. A teacher is a person who gives knowledge or skill to sb. as a profession (专业)。
5.顺序法(sequence of time, space and process)
顺序法是指按时间、空间或过程的顺序进行说明的一种写作手法。比如按照时间顺序介绍一个科学家的生平,用空间顺序阐述逐渐开发西部的重要意义,用过程顺序法解释葡萄酒的生产过程等等。
下面这篇学生作文就是用顺序法写成的:
Coal
Coal underwent (经受) many changes before it became the bright, brittle (脆的), black substance which we now use. During ancient times (在上古时代), when the earth enjoyed a very warm and wet climate, the land was covered with large forests and big plants. As time went on, the ground changed and began to sink (下沉) a little. These very large numbers of trees and vegetables received a deposit (沉淀) of sand and clay. This layer of sand and clay pressed upon the layer beneath and prevented it from contact with air. These trees and plants received the pres sure and changed its appearance.
Generations after generations (几世纪后), as the ground kept gradually sinking, another layer of sand and clay was again deposited (积聚) above the layers already formed. A great pressure was thus exerted (作用) and the peat (泥煤) was changed into the black and brittle substance which is known as coal.
Coal is a kind of mineral which is formed by nature as above stated. It is an important industrial material and is chiefly used as fuel. It is very valuable in the industrial world. The place where coal deposit is called a coal mine (煤矿)。 In China, coal mines are largely found in the north-west part of the country. Shanxi is a famous province for producing coal. It has the most coal of China.
6.分类法(classification)
分类法是将写作对象进行分类说明的一种写作手法。比如:著名的英国哲学家弗朗西斯·培根(Francis Bacon)在其脍炙人口的《谈读书》(Of Studies)一文中就用到了分类法:
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested, that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books…
参考译文:书有可浅尝者,有可吞食者,少数则须咀嚼消化。换言之,有只须读其部分者,有只须大体涉猎者,少数则须全读,读时须全神贯注,孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读,取其所需摘要,但只限题材较次或价值不高者……
——转摘自《英汉翻译教程》(张培基等)
可见,如果能够根据具体情况,选用合适的写作手法,就可为文章增添无穷的魅力。
除了上述提到的6种展开英语说明文主题的写作方法之外,还有因果法、归纳法等其他方法。但相比之下,对于中学生来说,上述6种方法是首先值得掌握的。另外必须指出的是:在一篇文章中往往是以一种写作手法为主,同时辅以其他写作手法。有时,甚至会几种写作手法混用而不分主次。因此,必须根据具体情况,选用合适的展开主题的写作手法,才能写出优秀的英语说明文。

篇13:英语议论文的写作方法与技巧指导
全文共 7039 字
+ 加入清单议论文写作是几种常见文体中要求较高的一种。下面语文迷网整理了一些写作方法,希望对你有帮助。
一、议论文的文体特点和写作要求
英语议论文同中文议论文一样也是以议论的方式,通过摆事实、讲道理来阐述自己观点的一种文体。高中英语议论文是一种限制性的写作, 其论点、论据、论证都必须十分明确,学生必须结合题目要求来阐述相关观点。
议论文的结构可分为三个部分:1、引言段引出一个令人关注的问题或明白地亮出自己的观点,如提倡什么,支持什么,反对什么。 2、主体段对提出的问题进行分析、推论、并运用归纳法、演绎法和类比法等进行论证,取得以理服人的效果。3、结论段可以用两三句话来结束文章,同时要注意重申论点,与引言段呼应,但不能照搬原话。务必做到论点明确、要点齐全、论证严密、结构严谨、层次分明、首尾呼应。
二、议论文的写作方法与技巧
一)、审好题
人们常说:“磨刀不误砍柴功”。审题是写作的开始,是写好作文的前提条件,“好的开始是成功的一半”,议论文写作也不例外。只有明确题目要求,确立观点,确定论证方法及全文段落安排,才可能成功写出一篇好的议论文。如果写偏了题,再精心的构思、再好的语言表达也是枉然。审题主要包括六个方面:一是判断议论文所属类型。英语议论文根据命题特点,从形式上来看可分为如下类型: ①“一分为二”的观点。如:“轿车大量进入家庭后,对家庭、环境、经济可能产生的影响”。②“两者选一”的观点。如:“乘火车还是乘飞机”。③“我认为……”型,如:“你对课外阅读的看法”。④“怎样……(how to)”型,如:“怎样克服学习中碰到的困难”。⑤ 图表作文,通过阅读图表中的数字与项目得出一个结论或形成一种看法(杨家贵,2005)。二是确立该文的论点或作者须持的观点,以及支撑论点的道理和事实。三是确定全文所包括的要点。四是确定段落数及每段适用的连接词、过渡句,使文章连接紧凑、过渡自然、层次分明。五是选择全文主要时态及各段适用的其它时态。六是判断该文的格式,是书信还是短文。审题完毕,随即列出提纲。
二)、注重主题句的设置
主题句又叫中心句(topic sentence),是段落的论点,限制段落中议论的范围,是整个段落的纲领。主题句必须要正确,要明确表明作者赞成什么,反对什么。主题句在一篇百来字的议论文中好比“画龙点睛”,帮助作者分层次阐述自己的观点,让读者快速了解作者的观点。
1、确定主题句的位置
英语议论文的主题句宜设在段首第一句,这是由以下两个因素决定的。1)、主题句出现的位置有三种情况:①在段首,以便读者浏览主题句就可掌握文章的概要,这个位置适用于写提供信息或解释观点的段落;②在段末;③段中(高长梅,2000)。2)、英语民族的思维特点是常采用路标式(直线式)篇章结构,即主题句在段首。
2、写出好的主题句
好的主题句具有以下特点:①有一定的概括性,普遍性而不是罗列具体事实。②句意明确而不是模糊不着边际。③让人有话可写而不是给出无可辩驳的事实。④不以问题的方式出现,也不要同时表达两个以上的观点。笔者要求学生写了以下的主题句:
1)Staying up late is bad for our health.
2)The more cars, the better?
3)There are two reasons why some people are fascinated by Super Girls and two reasons why some dislike them.
4)Beijing is famous for the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Imperial Palace and other places of interest.
5)a. Tom is a middle school student.
b. Tom is a hard-working middle school student.
6)Living in small cities is better than living in big cities.
然后让学生对照主题句的特点,他们一致认为1)、5)b、6)为好的主题句。在实践和对比中,学生学会了如何写好的主题句,并且运用到议论文写作中,收到较好效果,见以下实例(下段黑体部分是主题句)。
Everyone lives by selling something. For example, teachers live by selling knowledge, philosophers by selling wisdom and priests by selling spiritual comfort. Though it may be possible to measure the value of material goods in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to calculate the true value of services which people perform for us. The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell.
由此可见,好的主题句能帮助作者阐明观点,起到提纲挈领的作用。作者围绕段落的中心论点,运用多种方法展开论证,达到以理服人的效果。
三)、用好连接词和过渡句
从行文需要出发选用恰当的连接词、过渡句可使整篇文章文句流畅,句意转换自然,同时使表达合乎逻辑,文章结构严谨。倘若一篇议论文的段落里不乏高级词汇和复杂语法结构,但缺少了连接词、过渡句的润色而不能从一个观点自然地过渡到另一个观点,或段落里的各论据(supporting sentence)连接松散,势必削弱论证的效果,就算不上一篇好的议论文。下面分别说明如何有效运用连接词与过渡句。
1、句与句的连接词
连接词通常由连词、副词、介词短语和插入语等充当。如何有效使用连接词,使句意连贯、紧凑,以体现文章良好的严密的论证逻辑?
2.段与段的过渡句
过渡句帮助作者展示文章的条理和层次。恰当运用过渡句能使表达锦上添花。当文章从一个层次转换到另一个层次,或由一段内容转入另一段内容时需要用过渡句。恰当有效的运用过渡句,效果明显(见下文,题目及要求略,黑体部分为过渡句)。
Wearing school uniform every day spreads an order over many schools. Is it good or bad for students? Different people, however, have different opinions on this matter.
Some people say that it has a bad effect on developing students’ personal character. According to them, students are tired of wearing the same clothes every day, which is hard to tell who’s who. Furthermore, the cost of the school uniform is not low as many people think. With the bad quality, it’s not well worth the money.
However, as a popular saying goes: “Every coin has two sides.” Others argue that it is good for students. In their opinion, wearing school uniform will prevent students from wasting so much money on clothes and the time on catching up with the fashion. In addition, it’s easy for the teachers to recognize the students. There is no doubt that wearing school uniform every day is good for students.
In short, I firmly support the view that we should wear school uniform.(康珍,2005)
上文黑体部分综合体现了恰当、有效运用连接词和过渡句的最佳效果。全文行文流畅、衔接自然、条理清楚,浑然不觉作者是在套用各种连接词和过渡句。因此,非常有必要熟记一些常用典型的议论文过渡句,使议论文结构严谨,论点清楚,行文流畅。
1)引言段的常用过渡句
Recently we had a heated discussion on…, Opinions are various among different people.
Different people have different opinions on the question of …
They differ greatly in their attitudes towards …
Different people hold different views/opinions on this matter.
Although most people think… I believe…
此类过渡句能迅速引起读者注意,自然而然地引出全文要讨论的话题,或者开门见山地阐明文章的论点。
2)主体段的常用过渡句
Some may hold the view that… because… But others have a negative attitude. From their point of view…
Some people think that… While others believe…
Some people are for the idea of… because… But some people are against the idea of… because …
本文所指议论文的主体段可以是一段也可以是两段。通过正确使用过渡句,文章思路清晰,结构清楚,显示作者严谨思维,增强表达效果。
3)结论段的常用过渡句
As far as I am concerned, I totally agree with the statement that…
Therefore, it’s easy to draw the conclusion that…
As a consequence/result, I firmly support the view that…
Taking all these factors into consideration, we may reach the conclusion that…
To sum up/in a word/in conclusion/in short/above all/in general/ generally speaking, I still hold the view that…
运用过渡句的提示作用进入结论段,作者或是重申论点,或是强调论点,以便加深读者对全文的了解和深刻认识。
英语议论文范文:
Should Examination Be Abolished (取消)?
The examination system has come to be the main theme (主题)of modern education. One should take an examination andsucceed in passing it before he could be admitted, promoted or graduated. As it plays so important a role in the realm of education (教育的领域) it is under much criticism (评论) as to its validity (有效性) . People who are in favour of it try to develop this system more; those who are against it believe that such a system should be abolished. Should examination be abolished? In my opinion it should be.
Many people think that an examination is the only means to test knowledge, but, in fact, that is not true. A few questions given in an examination could by no means cover the whole field of the subject. Thus those who are able to answer them may be the poorest of the students and yet happen to know just a few points about that subject.
Id like to say that, because of the existence of the examination system, students pay so much attention to gaining high marks, that they often forget the chief purpose of education. The so-called clever students devote (贡献) themselves to the study of textbooks only. They, of course, know nothing but the skeleton (梗概) of knowledge. The end and aim of education, however, is to enable students to learn how to live. To do this, students must get themselves to do all kinds of training, physicalas well as mental. The present examination system has discouraged students from making such an attempt.
Moreover, since the students try so hard to put their lessons into memory in as short a time as possible, psychologically (心理上来看), they soon forget the whole subject as soon as the examination is over. Surely this is one of the greatest wastes ever made in the history of civilization.
Lastly, in order to get high marks, there is a great temptation (诱惑) for students to cheat (作弊) in an examination. Indeed, such a practice becomes the means to the end. They cheat their teachers, their parents and also themselves. Such a tendency would impair (损害) our moral standards (道德标准) .
Therefore, I am of the opinion, in conclusion, that the examination system should be abolished.

篇16:广东高考英语写作基础题备考策略
全文共 4324 字
+ 加入清单导语:小编就高考英语广东卷写作题将由基础写作(满分15分)和任务型写作(满分25分)两节组成。为了更有效地备考基础写作题,需要搞清楚基础写作题的特点和对考生写作能力的要求。本文将探讨这两个方面的问题,并对备考给出一些建议,供考生参考。
一、基础写作题的特点
高考设置基础写作题目的目的是要检测考生最基础的书面语言表达能力,如用词的合理性、句子结构的复杂度、语法运用的正确性、信息内容的完整性、句子之间的连贯性等。因此,基础写作题与往年的书面表达依然会有很多相似点,但也会出现一些新的特点。
1. 写作题材贴近考生的学习和生活。历年来高考作文题的题材都非常贴近考生的学习和生活,如校园活动、校外见闻、交友、旅游,和考生有关的话题讨论等。可以预料明年高考写作题的题材还会在这些范围之内,并为所有所考所熟悉。
2. 写作的体裁主要是故事性描述和应用文。基础写作题的体裁主要有故事性描写和应用文写作两大类。命题形式可能是看图写故事、看图表说明、根据表格信息完成一封短信或一份通知这类的应用文等。
3. 内容呈现的方式具有半封闭性。作文试题逐步走向开放将是大势所趋。但是,基础写作题还只能是半封闭的,其特点是写作的内容是被规定了的,考生必须将文章所规定的信息点完整、全面地表达出来,但对于语言表达的方式、信息组织的先后秩序、需要补充哪些必要的信息等,考生又有一定的自主构思空间。
4. 用5句话表达。这是基础写作题与往年书面表达题最显著的不同点。往年是规定字数(100词左右),句子的数量不作规定,所以很多考生为了不犯句法错误总是用一些简单句。而基础写作只能用5句话来表达题目所给的全部信息点,但所给的信息点与往年的书面表达相比并不会减少,所以,用5个简单句很难完成任务,必须使用复合句或并列句来综合多个信息点,而且还要照顾句子之间的衔接和语意上的连贯。从这一点来说,基础写作题对考生运用语言能力的要求大大提高了。
二、基础写作题提出的新要求
由基础写作题的特点可以看出,它对考生提出了一些新的要求。
1. 信息组织能力。笔者认为,信息组织能力包括信息归类、信息排列和信息表达三个环节。对于题目所提供的各种信息点,考生首先需要依照一定的标准将信息进行归类,并初步计划将哪些信息放到同一个句子中;其次是将信息进行合理的排列,排列必须依照一定的标准,如时间顺序、空间顺序、因果关系、递进关系等;第三是选择信息表达的秩序,确定句子之间的先后关系,这既要考虑语法上能否衔接,还要考虑语意上的连贯。在组织信息的过程中,还要对某些信息进行必要的增删,使文章意思连贯、语言畅通、逻辑严密。
2. 运用复杂句子的能力。在整理和归类信息点之后,就需要正确地使用比较复杂的句子,综合地表达信息。复杂句子主要有三类:
第一类是复合句,包括含有名词性从句的复合句,含有定语从句的复合句,含有状语从句的复合句。
第二类是并列句,包括具有递进关系的并列句, 如由and,then,besides,in addition, furthermore,moreover, what’s more等连接的并列句,具有转折关系的并列句,如由but,however,on the contrary, after all等连接的并列句,具有平行选择关系的并列句,如由both…and…,as well as,as well,neither…nor…or,either…or…,not only…but also…等连接的并列句。
第三类是一些特殊句型,如使用强调句、倒装句、含有with复合结构的句子、there be开头的句子、以形式主语it开头的句子等。
正确地使用各种句型,不仅能够完成题目所要求的任务,还能使文章的句式变得丰富、行文更加流畅、中心和主旨更加突出。
三、基础写作题的备考策略
在基础写作的备考过程中,一方面要重视养成一些良好的写作习惯,如认真审题、巧妙构思、常写草稿、工整誊写、仔细核对等好习惯,另一方面在组织信息和训练复杂句子结构方面要多下些功夫。下面我们以“广东省普通高等学校招生全国统一考试广东省英语科考试说明”中的样题为例,探讨如何备考基础写作题。
第一节:基础写作(共1小题,满分15分)
假设你最近参加了由某电视台举办的中考生英语演讲比赛并获奖,该台准备组织获奖者去北京参加一次英语夏令营活动,下表是这次活动的时间安排和活动内容。
活动时间
7月15日-22日或8月15日-22日
活动内容
参加英语角 学唱英语歌曲
听英语讲座 表演英语短剧
看英语电影 教外宾学中文
【写作内容】
电视台现就活动时间和活动内容征求你的意见。请按照以下要求用英语以书信形式给予答复。
1. 选择适合你的时间并说明理由;
2. 解释你只能参加其中的两项活动(听英语讲座和教外宾学中文),虽然你认为所有的活动都很有意义;
3. 说明你选择的理由:听英语讲座了解英美文化的信息;教外宾学中文因为2008北京奥运让越来越多的外宾想了解中国。
【写作要求】
1. 必须使用5个句子表达全部的内容
2. 信的开头和结尾已给出。
Dear Sir or Madame,
I’m glad to be invited to the English summer camp.
Thank you very much.
Yours truly,
Li Ping
【评分标准】
句子结构的准确性和复杂度;信息内容的完整性和连贯性。
由此我们可以看出,信息点的数量与往年的书面表达题相比并没有减少,要想用5个句子把所有的信息都表达出来,考生必须从以下三个方面进行备考:
1. 养成重视审题的习惯。虽然基础写作题是半封闭性的,但审题仍然十分重要。现以样题为例,谈谈如何审题:
思考的问题
样题分析
要写的文章主题是什么?(topic)
参加夏令营。
为什么要写这篇文章?(purpose)
电视台邀请参加夏令营,写信回复
要写文章的信息点有哪些?(information items)
选择的时间、参加活动的内容、解释为什么。
怎样安排信息点的逻辑顺序?(order)
说明要参加的活动并解释原因—→说明要参加的时间并解释原因。
动作是什么时候发生的(时态)?(when)
夏令营还没有开始,文章主要用一般将来时。
2. 提高组织信息的能力。组织信息的过程包括信息分类、信息排列和信息表达三个环节。这些步骤看起来好像很繁琐,但对于中下成绩的考生来说,一步一步地思考这些问题是很有必要的。现以样题为例,说明该怎样组织信息。
信息分类
信息排列
信息表达
时间信息:两个时间段。
内容信息:6项活动。
选择信息:其中的两个活动及其理由。
夏令营的内容信息点排列:可以将自己要参加的两项活动放在前面,其它信息点可以略写。
作者的选择信息点排列:依照自己所参与的活动顺序逐项表述,紧接着给出选择的理由。
结合已经给出的头和尾,写作的顺序可安排如下:
很高兴被邀请(已给出)——感谢安排这么多的活动——说明活动的意义——表达自己只能参加两项活动的遗憾和原因——说明参加的活动内容及原因(两项活动用两句话)——说明自己选择的时间及原因。
3. 夯实基础,掌握基本的句子结构及其用法。对于大多数考生来说,用词不准和句子结构错误是写作失分的“罪魁祸首”。夯实基础、掌握基本的句子结构及其用法是基础写作备考的主要任务,完成这项任务可以分步骤进行:
第一步:练习写简单句,练就写简单句基本不犯语言错误的“真功”。简单句大体上可以分为两个基本类型,考生必须掌握:“主语+谓语+(其它成分)”“主语+系动词+表语”。
第二步:练习运用复杂句。要提高运用复杂句的能力,考生必须要攻克三个易错点:一是主句与从句之间主谓结构混乱,造成主句缺谓语;二是没有掌握关联词的用法,错用、多用、漏用关联词;三是该使用简单句的地方人为地复杂化,如可以用分词或介词短语来表达的,却偏要用从句。
下面以样题为例,介绍笔者是如何思考写这篇文章的(为了分析方便,笔者将5个句子进行编号),仅供参考:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m glad to be invited to the English summer camp. ①Thank you very much for arranging so many activities, such as English corner, English lectures, English films, English songs, English plays and helping foreigners learn Chinese. ②I am sure all the activities will do a lot of good to us students. ③But it’s a pity that I can only take part in two of them, because I will have to spend some time in doing my research project. ④I would like to listen to the lectures, by which I will learn more about western culture, and help foreigners learn Chinese, as more and more foreigners want to know about China and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
⑤I want to see my grandparents in the country right after our school finishes in mid-July, so I am going to attend the camp from August 15th to 22nd.
Thank you very much.
Yours truly,
Li Ping
第①句顺应已给出的句中的glad心情,表示感谢安排这么多的活动,具有较好的连贯性。同时很自然地将活动内容做一介绍。
第②句用简单句表达活动的意义,语意上连贯,句式上没有继续用“长”句,有变化。
第③句用but转折并用it’s a pity 句型表示委婉的歉意,然后解释原因。
第④句用一个长句子表达自己要参加的两个项目,并解释原因,解释原因的第一句用定语从句,第二句用状语从句,使句子结构富于变化。
第⑤句解释参加的时间并给出解释。之所以把时间放在后面,主要是考虑它与题目已经给出的句子之间在语意上的连贯性不够。
篇17:英语写作教学方法
全文共 1902 字
+ 加入清单英文写作是一种综合能力训练,临阵磨枪是不能取得好成绩的,也是不可取的,应该重视平时的英语作文训练。下面是小编帮大家整理的英语写作教学方法,希望大家喜欢。
高考英语作文占25分,有着不可忽视的比重,它足可以说明写作教学在高中英语教学中占有相当重要的位置。然而高考现状却不乐观,部分学生由于平时缺乏足够的训练,所以对英语写作要么感到无从下手,充满畏难情绪,胡乱写些英语单词或不着边际的句子充当字数,权作心理慰藉;要么用词不当,构句无章,错误频出,行文不流畅,表达不地道,无写作质量可言。如何提高学生的写作水平和促进写作教学呢?笔者认为应注意下列几个问题:
一、注重写作教学的基本训练阶段
语言教学最高层次是应用。英语属于结构语言,它有自己的基本句型、固定搭配、固定短语等,这些都是不可变的,要想在写作中用上它们,用好它们,必须加强这方面的基本训练。首先,加强五种基本句型结构教学。几乎所有的英语句型都是五种句型的扩大、延伸或变化,因此训练学生“写”就要抓住五种基本句型的训练,让他们把这五种基本句型记牢,不断运用。五种基本句型是:
(1)S+V;
(2)S+V+O;
(3)S+V+O+O;
(4)S+V+P;
(5)S+V+O+C。
五种基本句型虽然能表达一定的意思,但无法比较自由地表达思想,因此还必须对学生进一步进行扩句训练,在课堂上充分发挥学生的想像力,进行扩句练习。其次,加强句型教学,要对一些句子进行分析,增强他们利用各种句子进行一意多种表达的训练。再次,充分利用新教材中“巩固语言的练习,”对学生进行基本语感的训练。
二、注重写作训练的多样化
听、说、读、写四种技能是相互依赖的,说的能力有赖于听的能力,进而有助于写作。听是理解和吸收口头信息的手段。听和读是输入,只有达到足够的输入量,才能保证学生具有较好的说和写的输出能力。因此,在日常的教学中要注重写作训练的多样化。
首先,在Dialogue的教学中,除了听录音、对话、表演和编写相似的对话外,还要求学生把对话改写成一段短文,这样就要求学生在变成短文的过程中,注意时态、语态、人称和前后的逻辑关系,从而为写作打下基础。
其次,在Reading教学中,回答问题时要求学生必须用自己的语言,且人称、时态要做相应的变化,这样既能搞懂本意,又能用同义句表达,提高了表达能力。还要让学生用课文中的词组进行复述,学生复述课文不是件容易的事,既要把握课文中的重点,逻辑关系,又要用自己的语言把主要内容表达出来。这样既锻炼了他们组织篇章结构、句子与句子之间逻辑关系的能力,又提高了语言的精炼度,使自己的写作能力有了很快地提高。
再次,在“Listening”教学中,除了让学生听懂做完听力练习之外,还让他们把练习作为guide进行复述听力材料,有时还让他们写在作文本上。
三、注重写作训练的规范化
高中起始阶段的写作训练,培养学生的写作模式是非常重要的。我按教师用书上说明的写作步骤,即:①构思(讨论题目);②写提纲(理顺思想的逻辑关系);③起草(打草稿);④校订(检查错误,重新安排内容);⑤修改(定稿)。对学生进行写作模式的训练。这样看起来比较麻烦,但避免了反复,养成了好的写作习惯。再就是书写和文体格式要规范。严格要求学生正确、端正、熟练地书写字母、单词和句子,注意大小写和标点符号,养成良好的书写习惯。。同时对各种文体特点、格式要讲清楚,使学生熟悉规范的书面表达形式,用正确的标准评析和规范自己的书面表达。
四、注重教师的指导作用
教师批改是写作教学的有机组成部分,批改过程中,教师的指导作用就在于肯定学生的成绩,指出错误,给学生以恰当的评价。但在批改过程中,如果抓住学生的错误不放,有错必纠,改到最后,就变成了教师自己的作品;如果对错误视而不见,写得再多也收效甚微。我根据教学实践,对于新教材中的“有指导的写”的写作训练,规定学生限时写完,同桌、前后桌互相批改,重新行文,再上交。这样批改起来就非常轻松,而且典型错误,很容易找出,有利于讲评。对于新教材中的“自由写作”训练,我指导学生弄清主题,抓住要点,组词造句,安排好顺序,过渡到段落形成短文,多用熟悉的单词和句型,多用五种基本句型表达。然后让学生共同研究,互相评论写好的草稿,以便最后写出修改的稿子来,这就有助于减轻教师修改作业的负担,也有利于学生写作水平的提高。
总之,英文写作是一个学生综合能力的书面体现,是一个长期复杂的训练过程。因此,培养学生的写作能力不能一蹴而就,而要在平时从学生的实际水平出发,有目的、有计划、有要求、有检查、有反馈地进行,由易到难,循序渐进。只有这样,到高考时才能做到厚积薄发、思如泉涌、下笔如有神。
篇18:最新2024考研英语小作文写作技巧
全文共 1788 字
+ 加入清单小作文一般以书信居多,因此,在写作时要注意一下两点。
第一,既然是书信,一定要按照书信的格式写作。阅卷老师最先注意到的就是格式,其次才通过阅读看看内容是否符合要求。不注意格式,肯定被扣分。还不熟悉书信格式的同学赶紧多多练习。
第二,要仔细审题。这个问题年年在强调,但是年年有人不注意,写作时往往会跑题。这样怎么能得高分?考试时时间很紧张,怎样快速审题?笔者建议大家首先要脑子里要迅速构建一副写作场景,接下来要抓住关键词,然后围绕场景和关键词进行扩展。这一点不是说一说看一看就能掌握,需要同学们现在多做强化训练。
具体写作就按照题目要求一个点写一段,总共分三段。这样给人的印象是重点突出、条理清晰。下面就以2014年小作文为例,简单分析一下每一段怎么写。
称呼:Dear John,注意称呼中,所有实词首字母全部大写,Dear John后面的逗号不可丢,也不能写成冒号。
正文:
第一段:写作内容需涵盖两点:自我介绍,写信目的。文章开门见山就是自我介绍,用到了这样的表达:I am Li Ming who will go to study in your university and live together with you in one department. 其中的“I am …who…”这个句型来自于建议信的表达,放在这里也十分贴切。接下一句话表明了写信目的:Now I am writing this letter to tell you some of my habits and ask you for some suggestions to adapt myself there.
第二段:写作内容为习惯介绍以及寻求建议。首先,介绍自己的生活习惯,自己一般早上六点起床外出锻炼;周末一般在图书馆看书;其次,希望John就如何适应当地生活给自己一些建议。
第三段:写作内容表示期待,良好祝愿。用到了这样的表达:I am looking forward to seeing you soon and wish everything goes well.
落款:Yours sincerely, 特别提醒sincerely后面逗号不能丢;
签名:Li Ming,特别注意Li Ming 后面一定不能出现句点。
附注:
1、格式
称呼:英语应用文称呼有这样的特点,如果是不认识的人,一般称呼为敬词+尊称。例如,DearSirorMadam或者ToWhomItMayConcern(需注意每个单词首字母都大写);如果是写给关系正式的某团体或个人,称呼为敬词+尊称+名。例如,DearMr.xx或DearMs.xx;;对于关系较亲密的人可以直呼其名,即Dearxx。需要注意的是:1.称呼要顶格写;2.称呼之后要加逗号或者冒号(推荐大家用逗号,因为历年的高分范文都是用逗号的)。
正文:正文格式一般有两种格式,一是缩进式,即首段开头空四个字母,段落之间不空行;一是齐头式,即每段开头不空格,但是各段之间空一行。老师建议考生采用缩进式,因为如果用齐头式,段间空行的话很可能答题空间不够,导致字数不够。
2、语言
写作用词准确是最基础的要求之一。其次,句型可以多变,例如既有并列句,也有复合句,还有从句,但注意语法运用要正确。此外还要注意,正式语言一般是写给具有正式关系的团体或机构,这种情况不用缩略语和口语用法。除了正式的文体以外,其他的文体皆为非正式文体,像写给朋友的书信等。
一般小作文的考查要求中会体现出写该篇的目的和场合,所以考生在写作时要注意针对不同场合使用不同语言,使交流得以进行。另外,考生也要注意不同的应用文有不同的用语。建议考生对某些应用文的格式和习惯用语,应该加以熟悉和背诵,以便运用自如。
3、其他
考生在考试时注意在看到题目要求后不要忙于动笔,虽说小作文的字数充其量在一百多个单词,但是依旧要在脑子里理清思路。最好能够在仔细审题以后,认真列个提纲,这样更有利于思路清晰。写作时,注意表达清楚以下几个方面:首先交代清楚写信目的;其次为了让阅卷者对你的文章结构及表意一目了然,注意关联词或衔接词的运用;接下来,应该对个人的观点进行阐述(在写作有此必要的时候)。最后,行文间要注意简化描述,用简短的语句代替冗长的语句。在作文完成的时候,应该检查、修改,以免遗漏一些需要表达清楚的要点和细节。
篇19:基础薄弱如何进行英语四级写作训练
全文共 916 字
+ 加入清单英语四级考试目的是推动大学英语教学大纲的贯彻执行,对大学生的英语能力进行客观、准确的测量,为提高我国大学英语课程的教学质量服务。下面是小编为大家带来的基础薄弱如何进行英语四级写作训练的知识,欢迎阅读。
英语四级写作备考可分为四大步骤:
一、 背诵:
首先认真研究历年四级写作真题,重点研究2001年6月—2005年12月的11次真题,分析近年来四级写作的出题规律和考试重点,从语言、结构、 内容三大层面,认真研读经典写作真题范文:语言方面学习范文中的精彩词汇、词组、句型;结构方面学习范文的框架结构、内在逻辑、关联词、同义替换和代词替换;内容方面学习范文的论点、论据和论证。同时背诵精彩写作范文,要求滚瓜烂熟、脱口而出、多多益善,扎扎实实提高自己的写作实力。历年英语四级六级真题 >>
二、默写:
背诵熟练之后默写下来,仔细对照原文,会发现你默写的文章与原文有一些语法、拼写、标点的区别,这些区别就是你的写作弱点,学习关键在于针锋突破,不要全面出击。这些弱点正是你在考试中扣分的原因所在,把这些弱点意义克服,分数自然就会提高。
三、 中译英:
首先将写作真题范文译为中文,或参考范文的正确译文,然后进行中译英的工作,根据自己的理解把中文译为英文,最后对照英文原文,你会发现你的译文与原文存在较大的差别,这些差别正是你写作低分的症结所在。同样的一个中文句子,仔细对比一下你使用了哪些词汇、词组和句型,原文使用了哪些,这样你的写作水平才会逐渐提高。
四、 写作:
进行完上述工作之后,在考前必须进行写作的工作,只有动笔写作,才会发现自己的问题。可以写5—10篇真题或模拟题,模仿自己曾经背诵过的精彩词汇、词组、句型、框架和范文,写出一篇新的文章。最初不要求速度,但考前一定要进行模考,半小时写出一篇120-150词的文章。写完之后仔细修改其中的语言错误,将其改的更加精彩。
英语写作基础不太好的四级考生,必须按照上述步骤严格进行;基础较好的考生学习顺序正好相反,首先写作,直接写作英语四级真题;其次中译英,在研读原文之前,进行中译英的工作,译完对比,找出差距;然后背诵;最后默写。同时可以准备自己的写作框架,应用文和论说文分别形成固定的写法,积累精彩句型。
