英语应用文写作教学策略

株洲市一中

2004班班委会

2005年4月23日

老师把范文板书在黑板上，交代好格式。

ALetterofIntroduction

Class200

4No.1MiddleSchool

Zhuzhoucity

Headmaster

TheSouthMiddleSchool

DearMr.Headmaster,Thisistocertifythatthebearer,Mr.LiBing,themonitorofourclass,issenttoyourschoolinthehopeofknowingsomethingabouttheEnglishstudyofyourstudents.WeshalldeemitagreathelpifMr.Liisprovidedwithwhateverinformationhemayneedtohave.Respectfullyyours,ClassCommitteeofClass2004

介绍信中要求学生重点掌握信头、信内地址和一些套用句型（信内地址是指收信人的姓名、职务及地址等，其位置在信头下面

一、两行处的信纸的左边）。重点句型如：兹证明用Thisistocertifythat...，兹介绍用Thisistointroducetoyouthat...，还有inthehopeofdoingsth或inordertodosth表目的，以及Weshalldeemitagreathelpifsbisprovidedwithsth或Manythanksforthetroubleyouwillhavetotakeforsb表感激。

通过范文教学之后，同学们发现用英语写介绍信确实不难。这样就大大地激发了他们的求知欲，信心倍增。紧接着老师再举一些贴近日常生活的例子。这时他们学习英语应用文写作的热情空前高涨。就是那些平时不太想动笔的学生都纷纷举手要求老师检查他们的写作成果。老师检查后发现他们确实进步大，就当众表扬了他们，这样他们的积极性越来越高。为日后的其他英语应用文写作学习打下了良好的基础。

4.加强督促，整体提高

英语应用文写作不是

一、两天就能写好的，只有通过大量的训练才能练好。一个班的学生英语水平有高有低，如何在有限的时间内提高他们的整体水平是值得我们关注的。本人在教学中是这样做的：

（1）练习巧设计

每学完一种应用文写作后，大量的时间应留给学生自己做练习。练习应设计合理，应与教材内容相关或与他们的生活息息相关。这样才能激发他们的思路，使写作变得轻松而容易。例如学完邀请信后，我就给学生们设计了这样一道练习题。

请柬

兹定于2005年5月4日（星期五）晚上7：00在教学楼103室举行舞会，为庆祝我们班主任袁老师的生日

恭请

0214班全体同学光临

0210班班委会

同学们弄清了请柬的书写格式，并知道了全文要用第三人称口气，全文不需要称呼语和结束语（因为这些都已经包括在正文了）之后，他们就可以一气呵成。

另外我把全班同学分为两大组。要求每组给对方出一封请柬，然后各组选派一名同学到黑板上去写。要求5分钟之内写完，写得又快又好的给予加分奖励。经过多次这样的比赛，同学们对英语应用文写作的兴趣大大提高了，整体水平也大大提高了。

（2）课外多辅导

要想提高所教学生的整体水平，老师课外多辅导是必不可少的。本人就是利用早、晚自习和课余时间进行辅导，且多关注后进生。一是督促他们学习，二是表达老师对他们的关心，使他们真正体会到老师在时刻关注他们的成长。

（3）学生自查、互查与老师批改相结合为了使学生互帮互学，整体提高，我让学生自查、互查。要让学生自查、互查，首先应让他们知道查什么，纠正什么，从哪入手。老师提供下列注意事项：如人称、时态、标点、大小写、句子结构是否正确；句子语法是否准确；表达是否符合英语习惯；句与句之间、段与段之间语意是否连贯；过渡是否自然；格式是否有遗漏。先自查，再进行互查，最后交给老师批改。

四、结束语

英语应用文写作本身是一个由浅入深，由简入繁，由易入难的循序渐进的过程，也是一种知识积累和不断实践的过程。我们应不断探素切实可行的教学新方法、新路子，促进英语应用文写作教学的不断发展。

A good example of memo

To:Dong Fang, Head Reference Librarian

From: Liu Jian, Reference Assistant

Subject: Implementing Open Shelves in the Reference

Section

Date:May 10, 2008

The purpose of this memo is to recommend a new shelving system for books in the reference section of our library.Following are(1)a background statement,(2)a discussion of the new system, and(3)recommendations.Background

Under the present system of closed shelves, students wishing to consult reference books must fill out a requisition slip, wait in line, give the requisition to a desk person, and wait some more time before receiving the desired book.This system is time-consuming, unwieldy, and ineffective.The result is that students do not like to use the reference facility of the library.New System

I propose that we switch to an open-shelf system at once.The transition can be made simply by eliminating the desk that forms the front of the reference section.The fear of theft that some people have voiced could be eliminated by using the magnetic detection system that is already in place.The benefit of open shelves would be a reduction in personnel and free access to a needed library resource.Recommendations

To implement the open-shelf system we should proceed with the following changes:

1.1.Eliminate the front reference desk.2.2.Maintain a central information desk.3.3.Reassign all but two librarians who presently work at the front reference desk.I am certain that these changes will do much to improve the service that this section of the library provides.
