想要写好一篇英语作文有哪些方法步骤呢?下面来看看语文迷网为大家带来的写作指导吧。

(一)仔细审题，确定要点。在开始写作这前一定要认真阅读题目中的所有信息(中文提示、图示、注意事项等)把需要表达的全部信息要点列成提纲，列要点时，如果提示是图表，要认真审图，从图中找出要表达的信息要点，如事件发生的背景，人物的衣着、表情、动作、位置、年龄、外貌、图中的英汉文字等，如果有参考词汇，一定要用上。

(二)根据要点，先词组句。近年来高考书面表达的要求不断提高，高分文章要有较多的词汇，较高级的词汇用法。比如表达丰富可以用rich,但如果你用abundant这个词就属于较高级的词汇。再比如“他强调小心驾驶的重要”这个句子 He emphasized the importance of careful driving.其中“强调”这个词如果你用 attach much importance to 效果更佳。

(三)确定时态及人称，内容连贯，结构紧凑。高考书面表达评分标准明确规定，如人称错误要扣分，不同的文体一般都有基本时态。日记通常记叙发生过的事情，多用一般过去时。议论文多用一般现在时，通知等文体通常用一般将来时。每个句子写好之后，句与句之间要选择恰当的连接词。比如：(1)表示承接、递进用语，besides(并且)、whats more(并且)，moreover(而且)，firstly,secondly,finally(最后)，from now on (从此)，afterwards I after that(后来)，to make things worse/ whats worse(使事情更为糟糕的是)，the worst thing of all(最糟糕的是)。(2)表示转折关系用语。but bowever,otherwise,though,despite,in spite of...(尽管)on the other hand(另一方面)，as(尽管)，all the same(尽管如此)。(3)表示因果关系用语。because/because of......for(因为)，owing to (由于)，thanks to (由于)，due to (由于)，so that (结果)。(4)归纳总结用语。to summarize(总而言之)，in short/in a word(简而言之)，on the whole(从总体看)，generally speaking(一般说来)，in my view(我的观点)，in conclusion(总之)。

(四)句式丰富，避免单词。英语书面表达评分标准第五档(21-25分)要求，“应使用较复杂结构，这要求学生不仅会运用基本句型，也要有意识地使用复杂句型，这是文章的亮点。如何使用复杂结构，我认为适当运用非谓语结构(分词短语、动名词或不定式短语)适当运用各种从句(定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句)是有效什么途径。比如：when he arrived in Beijing,he gave me an e-mail.(时间状语从句。一般)→On arriving in Beijing,he gave me an e-mail.Having arrived in Beijing.he gave me an e-mail.(使用了动名词，分别作状语。高级) Hardly had he arrived in Beijing when he gave me an e-mail.(改变时态，句子结构。高级)I wont believe what he says.(一般)→No matter what he says,I wont believe.(让步状从句，高级)。

(五)认真答写，卷面整洁。高考书面表达评分标准中对书写有较高要求。尤其今年英语作文要进行网上阅卷，如果书写较差，会影响到扫描质量，因此，考生在答卷时，一定要认真、清楚规范地书写，以保卷面整洁。

it’s in april now. this mouth may be the busiest one during half of my high school life. there are some arrangements for the month below:

april.2nd the composition contest for chucai cup

april.9th biology

april.17th hope cup

april.26th & 27th the mid term examinations

during the whole month finish a plan for the competition of class meetings

besides these, i also have to swim in the sea of homework, and i’m not willing to give up any precious time for sleeping at the same time. so i felt that days has suddenly became short. complaints came almost every day at first, but now i got used to this kind of lifestyle. maybe busy life is suitable for me.

when i got up in the morning, i started thinking about the things i had to finish. then i would be afraid of wasting a second so i should finish the plans one be one. at last, i would feel tired. sleeping is more important than the unfinished things. i went to bed and slept soundly soon. all day i only do two things-working and resting, thus i have no time to go off into wild flights of fancy. “never trouble troubles until trouble troubles you!” now i think that i have no time to trouble troubles except some difficulties of my wok trouble me!

in another way, maybe a busy life can prove that i have abilities to do lots of things in many fields. please don’t laugh at me. when feeling tired, this thought can always

maybe schoolmates in grade 3 will look down upon these busy experiences of mine. but during the busier lives of yours, you can remind yourselves like me that never trouble troubles.

observe a child; any one will do. you will see that not a day passes in which he does not find something or other to make him happy, though he may be in tears the net moment. then look at a man; any one of us will do. you will notice that weeks and months can pass in which day is greeted with nothing more than resignation1, and endure with every polite indifference. indeed, most men are as miserable as sinners, though they are too bored to sin-perhaps their sin is their indifference2. but it is true that they so seldom smile that when they do we do not recognize their face, so distorted is it from the fied mask we take for granted3. and even then a man can not smile like a child, for a child smiles with his eyes, whereas a man smiles with his lips alone. it is not a smile; but a grin; something to do with humor4, but little to do with happiness. and then, as anyone can see, there is a point (but who can define that point?) when a man becomes an old man, and then he will smile again.

it would seem that happiness is something to do with simplicity, and that it is the ability to etract pleasure form the simplest things-such as a peach stone, for instance.it is obvious that it is nothing to do with success. for sir henry stewart was certainly successful. it is twenty years ago since he came down to our village from london, and bought a couple of old cottages, which he had knocked into one. he used his house a s weekend refuge5. he was a barrister. and the village followed his brilliant career with something almost amounting to paternal pride.i remember some ten years ago when he was made a kings counsel6, amos and i, seeing him get off the london train, went to congratulate him. we grinned with pleasure; he merely looked as miserable as though hed received a penal sentence. it was the same when he was knighted; he never smiled a bit, he didnt even bother to celebrate with a round of drinks at the "blue fo"7. he took his success as a child does his medicine. and not one of his achievements brought even a ghost of a smile to his tired eyes.

i asked him one day, soon after hed retired to potter about his garden,8 what is was like to achieve all ones ambitions. he looked down at his roses and went on watering them. then he said "the only value in achieving ones ambition is that you then realize that they are not worth achieving." quickly he moved the conversation on to a more practical level, and within a moment we were back to a safe discussion on the weather. that was two years ago.

i recall this incident, for yesterday, i was passing his house, and had drawn up my cart just outside his garden wall. i had pulled in from the road for no other reason than to let a bus pass me. as i set there filling my pipe, i suddenly heard a shout of sheer joy come from the other side of the wall.i peered over. there stood sir henry doing nothing less than a tribal war dance9 of sheer unashamed ecstasy. even when he observed my bewildered face staring over the wall he did not seem put out10 or embarrassed, but shouted for me to climb over.

"come and see, jan. look! i have done it at last! i have done it at last!"there he was, holding a small bo of earth in his had. i observed three tiny shoots out of it."and there were only three!" he said, his eyes laughing to heaven."three what?" i asked."peach stones", he replied. "ive always wanted to make peach stones grow, even since i was a child, when i used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. and i used to plant them, and then forgot where i planted them. but now at last i have done it, and, whats more, i had only three stones, and there you are, one, two, three shoots," he counted.

and sir henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement-his achievement of simplicity.

请根据以下的提示，并结合自己的交友经历，表达你对朋友的理解。

Without friends, life is not worth living. But what kind of person can be accepted as friend? Lots of people are classmates and arent friends. Lots of people are lovers but arent friends. You can appreciate or admire someone, but that doesnt make them a friend. If their attitude is "for better or worse," if they stick with you through thick and thin, thats when you can tell its friendship.

The term, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a partner, a playmate, a brother, etc. As life is full of obstacles and conflicts, we need friends to give us supports to get through tough times, we also need friends to give us warnings to go against danger. True friends share not only joy but, more often than not, they share sorrow and difficulties.

With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is hostile and unfortunate. I have friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are low and common. Some are like myself, working as an ordinary teacher, reading and writing and content with the simple life. To many of my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share, I will never forget my old friends and keep making new friends. I will not be cold and indifferent to the poor friends and will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.

【参考译文】

没有朋友，生活就不值得活。但是什么样的人可以被接纳为朋友呢?很多人都是同学而不是朋友。很多人都是恋人，但不是朋友。你可以欣赏或欣赏某人，但这并不能使他们成为朋友。如果他们的态度是“好或坏”，如果他们坚持你通过厚和薄，那时候你可以告诉它的友谊。

这个词，朋友，涵盖了广泛的意义。它可以是一个点头之交，一个同志，一个伙伴，一个玩伴，一个兄弟等。生活充满了障碍和冲突，我们需要朋友给我们支持，以渡过艰难时期，我们还需要朋友给我们警告，以抵御危险。真正的朋友不仅分享快乐，而且经常分享悲伤和困难。

有了友谊，生活幸福和谐。没有友谊，生活充满敌意和不幸。我有朋友的职级和文件。有些人富有而有权力。一些低和共同。有些人和我一样，作为一个普通的老师，阅读和写作，满足简单的生活。对于我的许多朋友，我知道该珍惜什么，容忍什么，分享什么，我永远不会忘记我的老朋友和结交新朋友。我不会对冷漠的朋友冷漠冷漠，会关心他们，哪怕只是一句安慰的话。

A snake is a long and thin animal that lives in grass or other dark places. It has no legs or feet, but can move very fast on its stomach.Snakesusually have green,yellow or black skins, which make it difficult for their enemies to find them.Some kinds of snakes live in water.

dazu county, located in the southeast of sichuan province, is 271 kilometres away from chengdu and 163 kilometres away from chongqing. "dazu" here means "harvest and abundance (dafeng, dazu)".

the work of dazu rock carvings began in the first year of yonghui in the tang dynasty (650a.d.), and continued until the ming and qing dynasties. now, it enjoys equal popularity with theyungang and longmen grottoes. the general term of "dazu rock carvings" refers to all the cliffside carvings in dazu county, which includes the carvings in beishan (including beita), baodingshan, nanshan, shizhuanshan and shimenshan. baoding grotto, 15 kilometres northeast of the county seat, is the largest and best preserved one and is a key cultural relic site under state protection.

there are more than 50,000 buddhist, taoist and confucian rock carvings and 100,000 characters of inscriptions dotted around dazu. the carvings not only include the statues of buddha and bodhisattva but also include that of monarchs, ministers, military officers, high and low-ranking officials, jailers, executioners, monks, rich and poor people, and folk art performers. the earliest grotto was carved in the early tang dynasty and most of them have a history over 1000 years.many of the carvings in baoding grotto reflect religious doctrines and another set of carvings reflects confucianism, specifically filial piety. what the carvings offer to visitors is not only the wonderful enjoyment of the magnificent art but a buddhist teaching like this: one can free himself from earthly worries by self-cultivation and does not need to go beyond his own inner world to

find the truth of buddhism. there are also many other carvings at the site that tell buddhist doctrines through the lives of ordinary people. with rich images as well as inscriptions, the dazu grottoes are regarded as an art treasure house that fully reflected the society, philosophy, religion and folklore of that time. in 1999, unesco listed dazu stone carvings as a world cultural heritage site. one point to be noted is that the dazu grottoes are the only ones that were implemented according to an overall design among over 100 grottoes in china.

高考临近，有关2012年高考英语作文的命题预测很多，参考命题预测可在一定程度上帮助考生把握复习的整体方向，有的放矢。历年高考作文题的功能，主要表现在两个方面，一个是评价功能，第二个是导向功能。高分网高考频道小编支招考生，考生可参考当地最近五年的高考作文题目，结合社会热点，从中分析规律，得出2012高考英语作文大的命题方向。

1、参考历年真题，总结规律。一般来说，高考英语作文体裁相对稳定，考生可参考当地最近五年的高考作文题目，从中分析规律，得出大的命题方向。如陕西对高考英语作文这一板块的考察，从新课改后重点突出的是学生对日常文体的应用，从09年至11年分别以电子邮件或写回信的方式让学生表达出对老师的真挚友谊、与家长沟通学习压力、或解决一些基本的学习难点等。因此我们不难看出，高考对学生作文的考察，会从学生的生活、学习、交友、家庭、社会活动等高中生较熟悉的层面，结合应用文的常见考察点：申请类、投诉类、感谢类、祝贺类等进行综合考察。

2、把对语言基础的应用作为考前强化重点。近年来的高考作文都非常注重考查学生的语言综合运用能力，根据《普通高中英语课程标准》对写作技能目标的要求，英语作文写作须“能根据所读文章进行转述或写摘要;能根据用文字及图表提供的信息写短文或报告;能写出语意连贯且结构完整的短文，叙述事情或表达观点和态度;能在写作中做到问题规范、语句通顺。”2012年高考英语作文的命题趋势，仍将会把学生对语言基础的应用作为首要考察点。

3、关注热点话题。纵观近几年的高考作文，可以发现，题材始终贴近社会、贴近现代生活，是中学生所熟知的热点话题。

除了把握好命题原则，掌握高考英语作文写作技巧更不可少：

1、审题：审题是做到切题的第一步。所谓审题就是要看清题意，确定文章的中心思想、主题，并围绕中心思想组织材料。

2、进行构思，列出简单的提纲，打造文章之骨架：审好题、立好意后，就要写提纲，打造文章的骨架。文章布局要做好几件事：安排好层次段落，铺设好过渡，处理好开头和结尾。

3、扩展成文：根据字数多少扩展成篇。扩展的内容一定要紧扣主题，千万不要写那些与主题不相关的内容。展开的方式包括：顺序法、举例法、比较法、对比法、说明法、因果法、推导法、归纳法和下定义等。可以根据需要任选一种或几种方式。

导语：网络是把双刃剑，我们不能一概的批评，很多东西都是有利有弊的，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

We should say that every coin has its two sides. So it is with surfing on line.

Generally speaking, students will benefit a lot from Internet. People can get lots of useful information through the Internet quickly ,no matter it is national or throughout the world. We can also listen to the music and chat with the friends far away.The most important of all is that we can search many foreigners who speak English as their native languge, which can help us improve our Enlish rapidly.We can send Email to our good friends in a few seconds---with the internet your friend dont need to wait for so long time as receiving a letter as before.

But it also can spread many side effects.for example ,there are some sexy news and pictures on web which will not do good to teenagers. And there are some games that can easily attract the students and even make you addict to the games so you can waste a lot of valuable time.

On the whole it will give you both good and bad things, the thing matters much is how do you make use of it.

【参考翻译】

我们都说任何事物都有其两面性，所有上网也不例外。

总的来说，学生通过互联网还是受益颇多的，我们可以很快从网上取得很多有益的信息，不管是国家的还是世界的。还可以在网上听音乐和远方的朋友聊天，最重要的是可以接触到很多讲英语的外国朋友和他们当地的方言，以帮助我们快速提高英语水平。通过互联网我们远方的朋友不再像以前一样需要花很长一段时间才能收到信件，只需几分钟就可以给我们的好朋友发送邮件。

但同时也带来很多不同的影响，比如，很多不利于青少年的色情新闻或者图片在网上出现，同时还有很多易于吸引学生的游戏甚至长时间沉溺于游戏。

总的来看很多东西都有利有弊，就看你如何去利用它。
