教你如何写出优美的英语作文
在听、说、读、写四项英语技能中,写作对于中国大学生来讲可能是困难最大的一项。因为听、读属于接受性技能(receptive skills),只要学生将贮存在大脑中的语言知识在听或读的过程中进行及时提取,理解就可以产生。因此,这些语言知识可以静止地储存在我们的记忆里,以便必要时提取。而作为产出性的(productive skills)说、写技能则不然,它要求学习者不但要有丰富的语言知识储备,还要求能够将这些知识变为自己语言的一部分。大学生要写出优秀的英语作文,首先需要打下牢固的语言基础,即相当程度的语言造诣、良好的语言修养和敏锐的语言感知能力。而且必须懂得写作的具体步骤,了解写作的性质,掌握写作的技巧。更为重要的是,中国学生还必须解决用英语思维的问题。不懂得英美人思维方式的人,无论语言功底有多深,是写不出地道的英语文章的。这里我向大家具体谈谈写好英语作文的几个重要环节。
首先我们谈谈语言。任何学过几年英语的人,他可能自己写不出好的英语作文,但当读到一篇漂亮的英语作文时,他能感觉到。产生这种感觉的又是什么?这就是语言。文章语言是重要的。我们赞叹一篇汉语文章,往往是因为我们被文章的语言所吸引、所征服:语汇丰富,句式整齐,语言或精炼或华丽,四字成语和句式安排均熟练自如,自然流畅。英语文章也同样如此。我们说这篇英语作文漂亮,主要还是因为它的语言丰富、老练和地道。那么怎样才能做到这一点呢。通过几年的教学实践,我总结了以下几点浅见,以供广大英语爱好者参考:
1.扩大英语词汇量
英语写作要求有一定的词汇量,没有词汇就好比巧妇难为无米之炊。写作时可能出现要写的词记不起来、要用的词拿不准、尤其是遇到同义词、更不知用哪一个好、或词性没记住,结果乱用…….这都说明平时对单词的记忆不够牢固,理解不清。这就要求我们在记单词的时候多花点力气,要从单词的音、形、义入手,最好不要单独记忆单词,这样容易遗忘,要把它放在句子或文章中一起记忆,这样可把握单词的词义、用法、搭配等词汇特点。除了课本上的词汇必须掌握外,还要进行广泛的课外阅读,以增加词汇。同学在学习词汇时还应注意词语辨析,尤其对于那些常用词,哪些场合、情景可以用,哪些不能用,心里应有数。而且对于写作中经常容易用到的词汇应多背几个下来,随时可以交替使用。在英语写作时,同一个单词过多的重复使用容易使阅卷老师感到啰嗦不清。
2.背诵一些有代表性的英语范文、常用句型和表达法
古人说:“熟读唐诗三百首,不会做诗也会吟”。背诵范文是中国人学习语言的传统方法,它不但可以加强记忆、积累语言材料,而且可以定型语式句式,语套模式和行文模式,将背诵用于英语学习更是见效。模仿和学用漂亮地道的英语表达法或句型并不是可耻的事情。地道的英语不应是你所学过的词汇和语法规则按某个意思苦苦思索造出来的。而应该是你把英美人对这个意思的习惯说法用到你自己的文章上来。好的写作者从不写自己没有看到过或听到过的英语,而只写英美人习惯说或写的句子。例如要表达“工作使我感到满足”这个意思时,他不会用这样的句子Work makes me feel satisfied,而用Work is a source of satisfaction to me.因为他读到的是后一种用法,这就是地道的英语。本人在教学中曾经尝试过让学生每周都背诵一篇英语短文(以议论文为主,字数约一百字上下),并且鼓励学生在写作、会话时能多用背到的名句、佳句,让它们变成你自己的语言。刚开始时有部分学生感觉不太适应,背多了容易遗忘。但是我要求学生能反复背诵,经常温故。一个学期下来,学生的英语水平有了显著提高,不仅反映在写作中,而且口语也有了很大的进步。很多学生写的文章不再是中国式的英语了,最重要的是他们从中学会了欧美人的语言习惯和语言模式、思维,文章的深度有了很大的改观。
3.多读英语优秀范文,勤做笔记
阅读是写作的基础,大学生要写好英语作文,还需在阅读上下苦功。教科书固然要认真读,这里我还特别建议我们同学去读一些优秀的英语范文。不一定每一篇文章你都要记住,但是应该做个有心人把文章中精彩、流畅的句子认真地做下记录。对于好的段落或者名言佳句同学们应该背诵下来,日后可用在你的作文中。同学们平时还应经常整理摘抄笔记,把它按体裁和内容进行仔细分类。经常温故朗读,不仅对提高写作水平有很大帮助,而且能够提高英语会话能力。
刚才我们谈了写作语言,下面我们说说写作的结构。文章的结构也是重要的。条理清楚,观点鲜明,论证有力都是其中的因素。一篇文章通常可分为三个部分,即开头、正文和结尾。这三个部分安排是否得体,直接影响到文章的质量。
1.文章的开头
文章的开头一般来说尽量开门见山,用简单明白的叙述使读者一下子能了解你想说些什么,切不要兜圈子。下面我举几个例子
(1)开门见山,揭示主题.
比如,让你写一篇有关你外语学习兴趣的作文。你可以开门见山地这样写Studying English is a source of satisfaction to me.(2).交代人物、事情、时间或环境开头
在文章的开头,先把人物、事件和环境交待清楚。例:When I was walking along the passage, I saw many students waiting outside the examation hall.I got the doors open, and they entered the hall one by one…..(3).回忆性的开头
例如“A Trip to the Taishan Mountain”(泰山游)的开头是:
I remember my first trip to the Taishan Mountain as if it were yesterday.(4).概括性的开头
即对要在文章中叙述的人或事先作一个概括性的介绍。例如下面是对美国教育制度的一个评述,作者开门见山地写到:It is generally agreed that the American educational system is in deep trouble.Everyone is aware of the horrible facts: schools are running out of money, teachers can’t spell.(5).交待写作目的的开头
在文章的一开头就交待写作目的,如通过文章要表扬谁,批评谁,或说明一个什么问题等。如 “Pollution Control”(控制污染)的开头:
In this article I shall draw your attention to the subject of pollution control….(6).用名人名言或者统计数据、科学事实开头
这类开头一般来说有较强的说服力,但是同学在写作中也应有充分的论据去证明你的观点。
2.文章的正文
文章的正文是由若干段落组成的,段落通常由几个或者更多的句子组成,有时候一个句子也能成段。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。某些测试用的表达题,在题目中就已经说明只需要根据。所给的提示写一个段落,而不是一篇文章。对于这一类的写作试题,就可以予以简洁的处理,并不是非要扩充成一篇有头有尾的完整文章。下面这篇题为“Weekend Homework”(谈周末作业)的短文,就是用一个段落来论述问题和表达观点的。
Usally Saturday night is the time for students to get back to their desks and do their weekend homework.Six school days are enough for the students who have many other interests.I think weekend homework should not be given.With homework arranged for Saturday night and the whole of Sunday, when can he find time to help around the house, play a game of football or see a good film, or just relax? In fact weekend homework is usually put off until Sunday night.As a result our homework is done very poorly and we achieve no results.If there were no homework on weekends, students would go to school on Monday well rested, willing to work.Teachers, don't you agree?
3.文章结尾的作用是概括全文内容,进一步强调或肯定文章的中心思想,使文章意义表达得更加深刻。文章结尾的形式也是多种多样的,常见的有以下几种:
(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。
(2)重复主题句w
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)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.这类结尾一般用于记叙文里比较多。
(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。例如一篇有关安乐死看法的文章,作者最后并没有写明自己的观点,而是含蓄地表达了现在社会的接受态度“There is probably some truth on both sides, but recently the public clamour for the legalization of voluntary euthanasia seems increasingly strong.”
(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。例如在一篇讨论新闻真实性的议论文中,作者最后是这样结尾的“Do we never suspect that the given information might be slanted, distorted or the truth totally denied?虽然是一句问句,实际上意义是肯定的。
(6)指明方向,激励读者w
结尾表示对将来的展望,或期待读者投入行动。如“Let's 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 better.A sound mind is in a sound body.Let's go in for sports.w
以上是几种常用的作文结尾方式,但是也并不绝对。同学们在写作文时可以根据表达主题的需要灵活创造。在写记叙文时我建议同学们可以用自然结尾法。但是在议论问中,最好用其余几种,尤其是第一种首尾呼应法,同学们要学会应用。
总之,要提高英语写作水平,需要两方面的训练:一是语言技巧方面的训练,这里要求同学们平时要多读多背多记,学会用欧美人的习惯用法去表达你的意思,只有这样才能在写作中写出地道、漂亮的英语。二是写作知识和能力方面的训练。只有掌握了好的写作技巧,才能写出结构清晰,观点鲜明的作文。我在教学实践中,从一开始就严格要求学生在写作语言和写作结构上狠下工夫,一段时间下来学生在写作上取得的成绩是显著的。很多同学摆脱了中国式英语的写作模式,写作内容和风格均有了较大的改观。

第四篇:英语作文优美段落
英语作文
l Enhance Awareness to Guard against Campus Thefts “If you don’t want to wake up and find you have no pants to wear, you’d better put them on in sleep,” goes a popular joke among students.Obviously, campus thefts have become increasingly annoying as they occur far more often than before.And it seems that the thieves are less choosy these days, with their targets ranging widely from bikes, cell phones, purses, pre-paid IC cards to sunglasses, bags, and even underwear.In short, anything that worth a dime is likely to be stolen.What makes students the easy targets? The reasons are not hard to find.But I believe of all these reasons, the lack of anti-theft alertness is the most important one.For lack of alertness, the students tend to leave the doors and windows wide open during sleep at noon or at night in summer.For the same reason, they’ll also leave their bikes unlocked outside a store or by a road, or forget to take away their personal stuff before they go out of the classroom to make a phone call.These acts undoubtedly have increased their exposure to the light-fingered monsters.In order to minimize possible losses, the students must stay on guard in the first place, as awareness of the thefts around often makes a big difference.To be more specific, the students should not hide any tempting amount of cash in the dorm.Put it in the bank instead.Besides, do not leave any valuable items unattended.Take them wherever you go.In addition, it’s advisable to develop a neighbourhood watch programme with other students in the dorm and neighbouring dorms.第一段思路点评:
陈述校园盗窃案件发生的情况 语言点提示:
it seems that此句型表示一种可能性 第二段思路点评: 说明被盗原因 语言点提示:
(1)What makes students the easy targets?此句引出下文(2)anti-theft alertness防盗意识(3)lack of alertness缺乏警惕
(4)light-fingered小偷小摸的、惯行扒窃的
