篇2:2024年英语写作指导:如何提高高考写作能力?
全文共 2431 字
+ 加入清单高考中的写作部分既限制字数,又要包含所有要点,且不能逐条翻译。如果写作方法运动得当,会有明显的提分效果。下面来看看小编为大家带来的方法吧。
一、 从词汇入手,强化短语写作
有研究表明,词汇学习可以促进英语水平的提高(文秋方,1998)。培养和提高学生的英语写作能力应从词和句入手,抓好基础训练。英语是结构语言,具有其自身的固定搭配、习惯用语和基本句型(陈立华,2003)。而《牛津高中英语》教材大量的词汇和地道的生活语言、任务型编排体系以及文本体裁的多样性,为“写”提供了基本素材。教师可根据不同话题的写作要求,采用不同形式的方法对学生进行写作基础训练。比如:关键词和短语写作训练法,即教师根据本单元的写作话题,每天精心选择2~3个词组或句型,让学生做翻译和造句练习;一周之后,让学生运用这些词组和句型进行写作。通过这种训练方法,既可以培养学生的写作能力,又可以提高写作的效率,还可以帮助学生掌握一些习惯用语和句子结构,从而提高学生遣词造句的能力。
二、抓好基本句型的训练,促进写作
书面表达题是由许多句子组成的,句子是写文章的基础。要完成书面表达题,首先要从句子入手,指导学生如何用句子表意。从语言形态学的角度看,英语属于分析型的语言,它有较为固定的基本句型、稳定搭配、俗成短语等,要想在写作中用好它们,必须加强这方面的基本训练。
首先,要加强五种基本句型的教学训练。几乎所有的英语句型都是这五种句型的扩大、延伸或变化,因此训练学生“写”就要抓住五种基本句型,熟练掌握这五种基本句型。五种基本句型是:S+V,S+V+O,S+V+O+O,S+V+O+C,S+V+P。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行扩句训练,在课堂上充分发挥学生的想象力。
其次,加强句型教学,要对一些句子进行分析,增强学生利用各种句子进行一意多种表达的训练。
最后,充分利用教材,对学生进行基本语感的训练。
三、从阅读入手,培养写作表达技巧
阅读与写作密不可分,阅读是写作的基础,是搜集素材、学习词汇句型和新颖表达方式的源泉。因此,教师应想方设法把阅读与写作结合起来,利用教材训练学生的写作技能,在阅读能力的培养过程中融入多种形式的写作技能训练,将写作教学贯穿于阅读教学中。笔者采用了如下方法:
1.利用教材,开展改写
在完成阅读教学,学生基本掌握文章内容的基础上,笔者进一步指导学生改写文章。改写要求学生注意人称、时态、直接引语、间接引语、遣词造句和谋篇布局等方面的变化,充分理解课文内容,认真思考,写出语言得体、内容完整的文章。例如:《牛津高中英语》模块6 Unit 2What Is Happiness to You?的Reading部分是一篇以对话采访形式出现的课文,在采访过程中,嘉宾Dr.Brain以体操运动员桑兰的经历为例,谈到他对幸福的理解。在完成阅读教学后,笔者要求学生用第三人称写一篇介绍桑兰的作文,并鼓励学生引用课文中描述桑兰的经典词汇和例句。如:hard?鄄working, energet?鄄ic, stay optimistic/positive, in good spir?鄄its; She was happy to devote herself to gym?鄄nastics等。通过这些训练,学生既加深了对课文的理解,又运用了所学重点词汇,同时学生的写作技能得到了实际的锻炼。
2.模仿范文,鼓励仿写
写的过程实际上是模拟读者阅读的过程;而阅读也是模拟写作的行为(戴军熔,2002)。教师可给学生一篇与书面表达体裁和题材相同的范文,让学生通过阅读完成类似话题的写作任务。例如:《牛津高中英语》模块1 Unit 3 Looking Good,Feeling Good的写作话题是保持健康。笔者从英文报刊上选择一篇有关如何科学合理地减肥、健身的报道,先让学生在课堂上进行限时阅读,然后提问学生:Which do you think is more important,looking good or feeling good? How would you keep fit?Why?等。学生通过模仿阅读材料的结构进行写作。通过阅读带动写作,由知识的输入到知识的输出,提高了学生表达的条理性和连贯性,为学生提供了写作策略和技能。
四、培养学生用英语写作的习惯
“临渊羡鱼,不如退而结网。”如果仅仅掌握了写作技巧,熟背了大量文章,不亲自动手实践还是不行的,没有一成不变的文章让你照搬。《英语课程标准》指出:基础教育阶段英语课程的总体目标是培养学生的综合语言运用能力。因此,我们要遵循“一切为了运用”的原则,提倡和鼓励学生亲自实践,动手写作,用英语给亲人、朋友、老师写信,用英语写日记,或用英语写便条,写留言短信,还可以用英语与老师谈心或反映情况,或给老师写每周情况报告或总结。只有将所学内容适时地运用于实际生活,才能内化成自己的能力。
五、重视写作的规范化训练
起始阶段的写作训练,培养学生良好的写作习惯非常重要。首先,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。其次,写作过程要规范。一般来说,短文写作都要有以下步骤:审清题目要求;确定写作要点;选好动词,搭好句子骨架;有效连接,使短文结构紧凑;认真检查,保证卷面整洁。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。
总之,随着新课改的实施和近几年高考(微博)评分标准的完善,对学生的书面表达能力提出了新的要求。作为高中英语教师,在教学中要根据不同时期学生的具体情况采取相应的教学方法,灵活多样地开展英语写作教学,有效调动学生的积极性,定能使学生厚积薄发,写出行文通顺、流畅、有文采的佳篇妙作来。

生活并不总是充满鲜花和微笑。每个人都有自己的困难,不管他的地位或是多大的成就有多高。所以要有一个正确的态度面对困难是至关重要的。
Some people feel so dejected about their difficulties that they fall into pessimism; others resort to putting the blame on others, the society or circumstance; still others are frightened by difficulties and give up halfway. All these people don’t use their abilities to overcome difficulties. So their attitudes are negative.
有些人对他们的困难感到沮丧,他们陷入悲观;别人采取把责任归咎于他人,社会或环境;还有些人害怕困难,半途而废。所有这些人都没有使用自己的能力去克服困难。所以他们的态度是消极的。
The positive method is to utilize your ability to clear away your difficulties that appear in your way of life rather than run away from them. Confront difficulties with joyful energy and enthusiasm , and you will find the difficulties are really not so hard as they appear and they will disappear in due course.
积极的方法是利用你的能力去清除你的困难,你的生活方式的出现,而不是逃避。面对困难与欢乐的精力和热情,你会发现其实并不困难,因为他们出现,他们将在适当的时候消失这么难。

+ 加入清单The benefit of volunteering
As we all know, volunteering has a meaningful and positive impact on the community you serve and the people you help. In the meanwhile, it can have many benefits for you, too. In my opinion, there are two reasons to
volunteer: feel good about yourself while helping others; build your portfolio.
On one hand, volunteering makes you feel good about yourself on a purely selfish level. There are few things more satisfying than helping people. Hammering nails on a new home while the owner beams with pride right next to you is an amazing feeling. Walking or running to raise funds for a cause close to your heart helps to give you a sense of purpose and helps you realize just how lucky you are. As a volunteer, you will gain new perspective, for it’s so easy for us all to get a little too wrapped up in our own lives. On the other hand, from a professional standpoint, volunteering is a great way to add to your portfolio. From press releases to design pieces, from public speaking to fundraising,
you will have the opportunity to build your portfolio. This is especially beneficial for students or young professionals, although all of us should continually work on building our portfolios.
Apart from the benefits of building up your confidence and making your portfolio better, there are probably many other benefits you will find in your volunteer work. So it is time for you to participate in more volunteer work to help others as well as help yourselves.

篇13:关于高考英语满分作文范本
全文共 2962 字
+ 加入清单高考英语满分作文 Beijing Olympic Games and Me
The year of 2008 is getting closer and closer to us. We need to take actions from now on to prepare for the game. What we need to do most is to work on our disadvantages and shortcomings. As a student of Senior high, I can do my own part. Although I can’t transform our city into more a beautiful place on my own, I can help Beijing in small ways and encourage our classmates and people around me to follow my lead.
Let me take the environment for example, the atmosphere around Beijing is quite disappointing, factories and cars keep giving off exhausts into the air, we can hardly see the blue sky with our naked eyes, because the sky is covered with a thick layer of harmful substances. The sky is gray instead of blue. To our delight, the government has passed some laws of protecting the air, and we can do something useful, too. For example, whenever we go out for a long distance, ride the bike or take the buses and subways instead of taxis. You may not have a clue how it works. Of course doing that only by one person is far from enough, but we can let more people do that together. In that case the result may be more than we bargained for.
Another thing we need to work on is our English skills. Teachers and parents often put great emphasis on our English skills especially listening and speaking. I want to be a volunteer in 2008, to be an interpreter. For now, I must do something helpful to improve my spoken English. Rome isn’t build in a day, so is English. It can’t be improved in a day or two. It takes time and energy. There are no shortcuts to improve your spoken English; the most productive way is to grab all opportunities around you to open your mouth. For instance, taking part in all kinds of English contests is a good way, you can meet some excellent contestants, and you can share the experience of learning and some good method of learning. I will keep participating in all English activities to polish up my English. I’m sure by the year of 2008, I will be able to master English well just as my mother tongue.
All in all, I’m sure that Beijing Olympic Games will be one of the most successful Games in history. I believe our long-cherished dream will be fulfilled in a perfect way!
2008年离我们越来越近了,我们必须从现在开始采取行动,来为奥运会做准备。我们最需要做的,是克服缺点和改进不足之处。作为一名高中生,我们可以做我们力所能及的事情。虽然我不能光靠我自身的力量把这座城市妆点得更美丽,但我可以用自己的方式,来改变北京并且鼓励我的同学们和我周围的人和我一起做。
让我以环境为例,北京周围的大气环境比较令人失望,工厂和汽车不断地向空中排放废气,我们几乎用肉眼看不到蓝色的天空了。因为天空被一层厚厚的有害物质所覆盖, 天空成了灰色,而不是蓝色。令我们高兴的是,政府已经出台一些保护大气环境的相关法规。我们呢,也可以做一些有用的事情。比如说,每当我们要出远门的时候,骑自行车或乘坐公交车和地铁来代替出租车。你可能不知道这会有什么用。当然,只靠一个人的力量是远远不够的,但是我们可以让更多的人一起去做。 这样的话,结果才有可能收效显著。
我们需要做的另一件事,是提高我们的英语水平。老师和家长总是着重强调要提高我们的英语能力,尤其是听力和口语方面,在2008年,我想成为一名志愿者,做一名口语翻译。现在我必须做一些有助于提高我口语的事情。“罗马非一日建成”,英语也不可以在一、两天内得到提高。它需要花费很多的时间和精力,在提高口语方面,没有捷径可走,最有效的方式就是抓住身边的机会开口讲英语。比如:参加各种英语竞赛是一种很好的方式。你会遇到些非常优秀的选手,与他们交流学习体会,借鉴好的学习方法。我将继续参加各类英语活动,来提高我的口语能力。我相信在2008年,我将会像掌握母语一样熟练掌握英语。
总之,我相信,2008北京奥运会将是有史以来最出色的奥运会之一,我坚信,我们长时间以来的梦想会以完美的方式得以实现。

全文共 1473 字
+ 加入清单A teacher just likes a shining star to students. Miss Fu, one of my English teacher, is a shining star in my life.
I happened to be in Miss Fus class when I began my high school years. At that time, I dared not speak English aloud in public, for I was shy and my pronunciation and intonation were poor. Afraid of being laughed at, I never put up my hand to answer the questions Miss Fu raised in class, even if I had some good answers to them. For a time, I even lost interest in practising spoken English. When Miss Fu found out the reason, she encouraged me to speak. First she bought me some English tapes and told me to listen to them carefully, and try to recite them. In class, I was often asked questions and given a lot of chances to practise speaking.Little by little, I became brave enough to speak, and was not afraid to speak English before others. Miss Fu smiled sweetly when she heard the news that I had been chosen to take part in an important oral English contest.
Whenever I look at the stars in the sky, I recognize the brightest one ---- the symbol of Miss Fu in my heart. Miss Fu will always be a shining star in my life!
老师对学生就像一颗闪亮的星。傅小姐,我的一位英语老师,是我生命中的一颗闪亮的星。
我碰巧在傅小姐的学生当我开始我的高中。那时,我不敢在公共场合大声说英语,因为我是害羞的,我的发音和语调很穷。害怕被嘲笑,我从未把我的手傅小姐提出了在课堂上回答问题,即使我有一些好的答案。有一段时间,我甚至失去了兴趣练习英语口语。傅小姐发现的原因时,她鼓励我说。她先给我买一些英语磁带和告诉我仔细听取他们的意见,并试着背诵他们。在课堂上,经常问的问题,我有很多机会练习说。渐渐地,我变得敢于说话,敢于在别人面前讲英语。傅小姐甜甜地笑了,当她听到这个消息,我被选为参加一个重要的英语口语大赛。
每当我看着天上的星星,我承认最亮的象征之一——傅小姐在我心中。傅小姐永远是我生命中的一颗闪亮的星!

没有人知道时间是什么样的,因为我们看不见它,也不能碰它。
Time is abstract, which we can only imagine in our mind.
时间是抽象的,我们只能想象在我们心中。
But we do know that time passes very quickly. Some students, however, do not know the value of time, nor do they know how to make the best use of it, for they waste it in going to films, playing games and doing other useless things.Why do we go to school early in the morning? Why do trains run so fast? Why do most people prefer taking buses instead of walking? The answer is very simple: we wish to save time because time is precious.
但我们知道时间过得很快。一些学生,但是,不知道时间的价值,他们也不知道如何充分利用它,因为他们浪费在电影,玩游戏和做其他无用的东西。为什么我们去学校早在早晨?为什么火车跑这么快?为什么大多数人喜欢坐公交车而不是步行?答案很简单:我们希望节省时间,因为时间是宝贵的。
Today we are living in the twentieth century. We know that time is life.
今天我们生活在第二十个世纪。我们知道时间就是生命。
When a person dies, his time has ended.Since life is short, we must devote our time and energy to our studies so that we may be able to serve our country and the people. But since time is invisible, we often neglect it. Lazinss. is the thief of time, for lasiness not only brings us a lot of harm, it also brings us failure. If it is necessary for us to do some work today, let us do it today and not leave it until tomorrow. Remember that time is more valuable than money.
当一个人死了,他的时间已经结束了,因为生命是短暂的,我们必须把时间和精力投入到学习中去,这样我们就可以为我们的国家和人民服务。但由于时间是无形的,我们经常忽视它。懒惰。是时间的盗贼,它不但给我们带来许多危害,也会使我们失败。如果我们今天做些工作是必要的,我们今天就把它做,而不是把它留到明天。记住时间比金钱更宝贵。
