英语写作心得
一、写作的前提
写作,即书面表达题是高考英语试题中的压轴戏,它要求学生清楚、连贯地传递信息、表达意思。它是对英语语言实际使用能力的考核(测试),分值为25分,所以举足轻重。它既像作文、又不完全是作文,因为它是Guided Writing而不是Free Writing,不能离开要求,自行立意选材,随意发挥。它类似翻译又不同于翻译,需进行适当的加工处理,具有较大的灵活性。
二、积累心得
一般写作中出现的问题
(1)审题不慎,思路混乱。如把写短文写成抄写诗歌,突出赞颂这位教师的品质变成写他的教学形式。
(2)内容点不全。在文章中要求学生提出这种方式的结果,但这一点被不少学生所忽略。
(3)语言表达不准确。在试卷中出现的语言表达不准确,除此之外,还有时态、代词、名词的数、非谓语动词和从句等错误类型。
(4)缺乏表达技能
(5)书写不规范。其中包括不注意大小写、标点符号不清,字迹潦草,字数不足或过多,乱涂乱画等。
2.应对策略
针对上述问题并根据笔者的教学实践,笔者采取了如下对策:
(1)审清题意、明确要求。要求学生弄清文体(记叙文、说明文、议论文,日记、书信、通知等),弄清人物的身份,事情发生的时间、地点、字数限制,还要确定人称,时态等。如上述作文应该是以第三人称为口吻的简短记叙文,时态为一般现在时,即Mr.Moore is one of the teachers who impress us most…
(2)取舍信息,列举要点。围绕作文题目中心筛选已获取的信息以突出重点,在草稿纸上列出要点以免内容不全,同时为扩点成文做好准备。如:短诗中出现了He leads us to a world of “why”,而不少学生没有提到这种方式的结果,即He has helped us to learn或We've learned how to analyze and settle problems.另外,整理要点时注意:没有必要大肆发挥,若题目安排可适当发挥,因为高考评分主要看内容要点是否齐全。
(3)加强语言表达的准确性。对于多数中学生来说,英文写作主要是避免语法错误、从而正确表达,针对这种情况,笔者在教学实践中常帮助学生总结并纠正错误类型。
学生们常在名词的数、冠词、代词的格,主谓一致、时态、语态、动词的过去时,过去动词、情态动词、常见动词的用法、非谓语动词、形容词、副词以及关系词,连接词等方面出现错误,经常帮助他们发现、纠正、总结错误对于写作确实有好处。
(4)利用五种简单句式。无论中学生的英语水平如何,都要加强写作基本功训练,从写作基本句式做起,把五种简单句式掌握好,然后在此基础上添砖加瓦,甚至进行装饰点缀,从而构成复杂漂亮的句子。
第二篇:英语写作心得
生们一定特别想在雅思写作中拿到高分。那么拿高分也有一些方法,一些注意的事项,在平时练习中我们就要重视起来。
首先,考生一定要做到勤于动笔,勤于思考
很多同学在看作文题目时,只是自己脑子里想一想,认为自己肯定能写得出,因而不愿意去动笔,一旦真正开始写的时候才发现这些题目远不是自己想象的那么简单,才意识到要写出一篇好的雅思作文并不是那么容易的事。所以在备考时,考生应该多动笔,多思考,踏踏实实的去完成每一篇作文,这样才能真正了解雅思写作是怎么回事,了解自己的写作能力到底怎么样,进而有针对性的提高写作能力。
第二,考生一定要认真修改自己写的每一篇作文
考生在自己做练习时,一碰到作文题目只是一味地去写,写了很多篇文章却不见自己的作文有所长进。这种题海战术是非常不可靠的,光是写而没有去修改,这种方式收效其实非常低。修改一篇作文不仅仅是找出错误和不足这么简单,还是一个不断更正不足和自我提高的过程,通过对作文的修改,找出自己常犯的错误和常用的一些过于简单或不够地道的表达,在以后的写作过程中有意识的避免它们的出现,这些都是修改作文带来的提高。另外,除了自己修改外,最好是能请写作能力比较强的人帮忙修改,如果能找到外国人帮忙修改就更好了,因为这些人能非常清楚的看到文章中一些隐藏的不足,提出很多自己不易发现的问题,这对写作分数的提升有很大帮助。
第三,考生一定要善于利用高分例文
有些考生会背一些例文,但是只是背是没有用的,我们应该要善于利用高分例文,吸取其中的精华。雅思考试中如果考官认为你的文章是抄袭例文,那么分数一定会非常低。况且高分例文的价值远不止背诵和套用,要拿到雅思写作的高分,就一定要善于利用它们。
一篇雅思写作范文有其特定的情景,词汇积累在特定的情景和句子当中进行,这样对词汇的理解和记忆都会深刻很多,对其用法也比较容易掌握。另外句型也是积累的重点,如果在例文中见到好的句子结构,不妨摘抄下来,并在自己的写作过程中尽量运用好这些结构。
雅思写作词汇论
2013-09-11 | 编辑: 无 | 有116人参与 | 来自: 匿名
众所周知,我国雅思考生的传统弱项一直以来都是雅思写作。而在官方公布的雅思写作四大评分标准(Task Response-内容, Coherence and Cohesion-逻辑, Lexical Resource-词汇, Grammatical Range and Accuracy-语法)当中,词汇的部分一直是大多数考生最容易失分的部分。具体而言,很多时候考生在一篇雅思作文中写出来的句子乍一看每一个单词都没有错,但当这些单词组合成一个完整的句子的时候各种问题就会出现。究其原因,大多数考生缺乏正确的词汇搭配意识。
我们来看一个典型的例子,来自于某雅思考生写的句子,关于廉价航空(cheap flights)的利弊的:
Some discount airlines are so cheap that they cost less than the airport taxes.粗略一看,这个句子似乎并没有什么问题,意思也很明确:有些廉价航空公司是如此便宜以至于其花费比机场建设税还要来得少。
一个一个单词来看的话,这个句子当中并没有哪一个单词是绝对错误的。但组合起来就有问题了!具体来说,句子的主语是discount airlines,be动词后面跟的表语却是cheap。在英语当中,我们可以说An airline ticket is so cheap,但不能说airline本身很cheap。也就是说,如果一个句子中用cheap做表语(放在be动词后面),其主语应该是某种商品。就像中文里你可以说“环球雅思的课程很便宜”,但你不能说“环球雅思很便宜”。
由这个案例我们应该意识到,雅思写作当中词汇的搭配万分重要。为什么很多背了几百个高分单词的考生写作基本都是5分?因为他们背的是单个的一个单词的中文意思,没有去研究这个词和哪些词搭配。平时的阅读中,一旦看到一个我们不认识的做表语的形容词,我们就应该习惯性地去看一下其主语是什么。同理,碰到一个及物动词,就应该习惯性地确认其后面一般搭配什么样的名词作为宾语。只有真正地掌握了词汇之间的搭配,才能大幅度地提高雅思写作中词汇使用的准确率,从而提升雅思写作的得分
雅思大作文Opinion类结构大解析
2013-09-11 | 编辑: 无 | 有91人参与 | 来自: 匿名
翻看雅思大作文,我们会发现很多题目都是这么问的:Do you agree or disagree„? / To what extent do you agree or disagree?这类题目就是我们常说的Opinion类作文。
要注意的一点是:如果是问A&D,那么答案只有两个即A or D.不能持中立;如果是问extent,那么可以有3种答案totally, mostly and partly.接下来我们就来介绍这类文章的结构思路。
写法1)双边平衡论证1:1
在introduction 部分先明确的提出立场,支持A或B,或者支持AB
分别论述A这个观点存在的理由;B这个观点存在的理由,然后提出自己的偏
好(preference)
总结部分要注意,不要出现具体的观点,但是又能够使得读者仅能通过最
末段就能够了解整个文章的结构和观点,可以通过用同义句替换每个部分的总结句,然后加之一个全文的总结来写。
写法2)双边不平衡论证2:1
比如在手段先提出自己的立场是支持A
部分可以论述两个A存在的理由,一个B存在的理由,即有所偏重。
在conclusion部分表明自己的观点,进行总结。在总结部分不能加入新的论据,要谨记!
写法3)单边论证3:0
(本法仅用于回答 do you agree or disagree?即无需讨论both views,审题的时候要注意)
首先表明是Yes or No(或者agree or disagree)
Body support reasons(1.2.3.)
Conclusion.E.g.should people pay tax to the government?
Introduction: yes
Body: pay for(reasons: for yourself;your family;social stability…)
Conclusion:
写法4)回答to what extent do you agree or disagree?
表明立场分为三种:Totally(3:0)/mostly(2:1)/partly(1:1)
然后再根据前面所详述过的三种写法进行论述。
E.g.to what extent do you agree or disagree capital punishment?
Mostly agree: death penalty
Support reasons: it is fair to kill a killer
It helps to maintain justice of legal system
However, it is not deterrent against violent crime.Conclusion
雅思大作文你会discuss吗?
2013-09-11 | 编辑: 无 | 有97人参与 | 来自: 匿名
“ Discusses both views and give your opinions.”就是传说中的雅思大作文Discussion类。对于这种写作题目,有着自己独特的写作构思。
一般比较就是进行优缺点的比较,为了避免文章中反复出现advantages和disadvantages,环球雅思老师首先先介绍有利因素和不利因素的其他表示方法。与Advantages表示相近或相同意思的词汇有:merit, benefit, value, strength, pros.与之对应的表示Disadvantages有:downsides, weakness, cons, pitfall, defect.而discussion类作文有三种考法:
1、单项事物的优缺点比较:
分成四段:Introduction和Conclusion各一段,而Body部分分为两段,一段写优点一段写缺点。要注意每个优点或缺点都至少用两句话来叙述,并且用事实例子进行论证说理。
2、两个事物的优缺点比较
与单项事物优缺点不同的地方在于主体段,主体段落部分,一段写事物A的优缺点,一段写事物B的优缺点。
E.g.Private vs.public transportation
分成四段:Introduction
Body(private As & Ds,Public As % Ds)
Conclusion 前面两类的叙述没有连接,可以在总结中做两个部分的衔接。(比较推荐使用这个结构,不太推荐先集中叙述两者的优点,再集中叙述两者的缺点。因为这两项的优缺点经常是互逆的,这样写容易让考官有重复的感觉。而重复是大忌。)
3、多个事物比较:(很少用到)
首先把多个事物进行归类,分成2-3类,然后如前一种方法进行论述。
E.g.Magazine, newspaper, TV, radio, book, internet, 比较获取信息的方式。
分成四段:Introduction
Body(traditional: As & Ds和Modern: As & Ds)
Conclusion
当然在比较的时候不能只比较2-3大类,要把题目中提到的所有的事物都一一进行比较,可以作为具体例子插入补充。
第三篇:英语写作教学心得
问题的提出
新课程标准在对学生情感方面的要求指出“让学生明确英语学习的目的是为了沟通和表达”。说和写是沟通和表达的两种重要形式,沟通和表达是人内心的需要。但是在高中英语教学中,大部分同学没有时间和空间让他们感到确实有用英语沟通和表达的需求和愿望,说和写基本处于一种被动状态。就作文而言,受高考模式的影响,在平时的作文教学中教师往往采取命题作文的形式,操练各种如看图作文、根据汉语信息提示进行诸如书信、通知、个人简介、叙述故事不同形式的写作,并有字数和时间的限制,全班一个样,三年没变化。这种训练注重格式的规范,思想的统一,语言的一致,它无疑对提高应试能力有很大的帮助。但它同时也淹没了部分学生的自主创造的潜能,忽视的学生之间的个体差异,扼杀了学生的写作兴趣,这不能不说是一种遗憾。
基于以上想法,借鉴语文作文周记的形式,根据上海高考卷以及目前各地模拟试卷和练习上频频出现的话题作文的趋势,基于我所任教班级为实验班的特点,我在进行命题作文规范各种文体写作的同时,以提高学生兴趣、创设一个让学生沟通和表达的外部环境为目的,在高一年级进行了英语开放式话题作文的尝试。
所谓开放性话题作文,就是指不给出写作的全部内容,只提供一个背景,一个话题,或者一幅图,让学生根据个人的体验和经验自由地发挥,可以是读后感,也可以是展开想象对材料添加前因或续写结尾,总之它对内容没有太多的约束,学生有较大的选择余地。
一、精心选材,搭建作文想象的平台
开放式话题作文并非无边无际,在话题的选择,材料的的提供上须能引起他们的兴趣,符合青少年的身心发展特征,培养他们树立正确的人生观,价值观,真正触发他们对所熟悉的事物及人生的思考。寻找恰当的背景材料成了我每次作文前必做的准备工作。我依据能打动自己、贴近学生、语言地道、情节生动、关注热点、题材广泛的原则进行选材。课后阅读材料的生词控制在7%左右,并且利用课堂时间对检查出的阅读理解上的错误进行简要的分析,并适当地讲解文中的长句、难句,排除学生对所读材料内容和文字上的困难。本学期我选择了字数在400—800不等的围绕人口与环境、战争与和平、婚姻与家庭、文明与进步的材料30多篇,为学生提供了大量的写作依据。使作文成为有本之源。
二、设计话题,制造沟通和表达的需求
提供了材料,并不能就此放手让学生自由写作。在阅读的基础上,我要求学生根据文中内容,围绕“认同、变化、选择、关系、冲突”等五个不同的主题进行联想,每个主题再提出1~3个不等的问题引导学生进行讨论。问题的设计不必全围绕材料的主题,它可以是文章中能够让学生找到共鸣的很小的一点。例如有一篇材料是记者采访,被访者是一位女性爱滋病研究人员。在采访中,她提到了自己名字的来历、专业的选择等等。这些虽不是此篇采访的主要目的,但我设计了如“你的名字的怎么来的?”“你对爱滋病了解多少?”“老师应不应该给学生选择专业?”“你是怎样对待学习中的挫折的?”等10多个问题让学生从中任选一个作文,题目自拟。由于选题广,且有文章为铺垫,几乎所有的同学都能从自己的兴趣,生活经验和知识水平出发,1
找到自己想要表达的东西。
三、及时批阅,了解个案详情
和命题作文一样,批阅工作量大常使教师望而生畏。在命题作文中,有时一个英语教师改两个班(100多人)的作文,改到最后怕是胃口全无。因此不少教师力图寻找一种“事半功倍”的作文批改方法,例如互改,抽改,利用投影等现代化手段全班一起改等以期达到“纠正错误”的目标。但是学生的作文不同于工厂里的产品,哪个学生不希望自己的作文得到教师的亲自批阅呢?而且开放式话题作文的特点,每位学生的角度不同,写作内容各异,出现的语言上的错误也不尽相同,及时批阅,了解个案是教师做好写作后评讲的依据。在批阅过程中,我不仅摘录下典型错句供学生集体订正,同时也摘录下精彩的语句和有一定思想深度的句子供全体同学欣赏。
经过一年的尝试,我深感开放试话题作文在提高学生兴趣,发挥学生主体作用、沟通师生感情等方面有着命题作文所不能达到的效果。
一、激发了学生的写作热情,让每一个学生有话可说,有话要说。
需求产生愿望,当学生感到自己“我要说”时,他的积极性就会极大地调动起来。有一次,我让同学读了一篇关于一位恐龙考古学家的苦与乐的文章。有好几位同学便以“Would you enjoy being a dinosaur hunter?”为题,惟妙惟肖地描写了电影《侏罗纪公元》里恐龙大战的场面,表现出对恐龙这种已经灭绝了的动物的兴趣,表示若有可能也愿像文中的人物一样成为一个dinosaur hunter。还有一位女同学饶有兴趣地描写了小时侯的一次“考古发现”——从土里挖出的一个旧碗。文中充满了一个儿童对陌生事物的好奇。还有一次在读了一篇关于文化差异而导致作者在“fit in”一个新的环境里遇到尴尬的文章后,不少同学就以“Have you ever felt that you didn't fit in?What caused you to feel this way?”为题,讲述了他们在刚进校时遇到的与新同学、新环境不相适应的感受,以及克服困难,调整自己的一些做法。有一位同学还写到:It is not necessary for you to fit in everything。这些作文表达了同学们的所知、所想、所感、所惑,他们体验到了写作来抒发感情的快乐,他们学会思考。
二、尊重学生个体差异,提高学生的自信心。
我所任教的班级一半同学来自农村,不同的家庭背景、生活环境,使他们性格各异,英语学科的实际运用水平特别的口语水平参差不齐,在课堂上的表现也不尽相同。有的同学性格外向,天生好表现,课堂上容易引起教师的注意;有些同学腼腆,口语不好,不愿也不敢在课堂上表达自己。作为教师应该正视并尊重这种差异,一方面要想办法鼓励后者缩小与前者的差距,同时也要给后者创造放大自己优势的机会。在开放式话题作文中,我制定了“有话则长,无话则短,上不封顶,下有保底,鼓励多写”的原则。实际上,在课堂上似乎不太活跃的同学往往在作文时思维活跃,有些同学洋洋洒洒能写几百字,也许连他们自己都没有意识到自己是那么“能说会道”。他们为自己有较强的用英语表达思想情感的能力而感到兴奋,同时也促进了他们的提高口语表达能力和学好英语的信心。
三、促进生生、师生间的情感交流
开放式话题作文充分体现了学生的主体地位。由于各人写作的话题不尽相同,每次作文后,我都要向学生推荐好作文,要求他们至少要与自己前后左右几位同学交流一下,选择相同话题的同学想知道“他是怎么写的?”;选择不同话题的同学想知道“他写了什么?”作为教师,也不再是拿着把尺子的考官。每每读他们的作文,我都觉得我在倾听。出乎我的意料之外的是,作文还让我及时了解到学生的思想动态,对他们进行全体或个别的的感情交流。有一次,文章后的话题是“How did you get your name?Why did your parents choose this name for you?”很多同学详细描写了取名的过程和蕴涵的意义。我因势利导,对他们说:无论你的名字是什么,它都蕴涵了父母对子女的成材的殷切希望和对美好生活的憧憬,希望每个人“deserve your name”。有一位来自同学农村,在作文中他对城里人看不起农村人一事非常气愤。在给他的评语中我这样写到“It is not strange that you will be looked down upon by some people because of your poverty.You can not change others, but you can change yourself.Study hard and change yourself.”有的同学在作文中表现出过分的竞争意识,认为学习的目的在于把别人“比下去”。面对这些暴露出来问题,我利用评语和他们谈心,及时纠正这种偏差。事实证明学生是非常在乎欢迎这种平等式对话的。当然话题作文增加了批改的难度,作为考试形式还存在着掌握统一的评分标准的问题,但笔者认为在高中英语教学的各个阶段,如能在进行命题作文训练的同时有计划地在增加开放式话题作文的练习,对激发学生的学生的学习兴趣和创新能力大有裨益,对英语教学的其他方面也会起到积极的促进作用。

6、交通问题
Directions: Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the pictures briefly;2)interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and 3)give your point of view.The pictures vividly reveal that heavy traffic is becoming increasingly serious all over the world.In the first photo, there is traffic congestion on the road with numerous cars, trucks and buses.In the second picture, hundreds of people are waiting for a train.We can deduce from the pictures that the photographer is trying to attract our attention to the issue of heavy traffic.First of all, every year men and women crowd into cities in search of employment, a decent living, and the excitement and stimulation of urban life.As people in mounting numbers flood into cities, city services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point.In addition, since in a city with booming industry, land is precious and cannot be extravagantly used by traffic, traffic flows constantly rise to fill whatever scale of roads and highways are provided for them.It is imperative for us to improve this situation.For one thing, the number of private cars should be limited while more bus routes should be opened up because buses can accommodate more passengers.For another, more streets and roads should be constructed.Since neither of the suggestions can effectively solve the problem, there is an increased awareness that the two solutions may be combined with other possible solutions to produce the best effect.7、网络问题
Directions: Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the picture briefly;2)interpret the social phenomenon reflected by it, and 3)give your point of view.In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet.As is vividly depicted in the picture, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work’s needs.Actually on-line visiting has become a routine activity in our everyday life.However, it seems rather ironic to use a chain instead of normal wire to connect with the mouse in this picture.The exaggerative and impressive portrayal has subtly revealed the duality of the relationship between man and Internet.Discussion on the duality has become very popular in newspapers or in people’s chats.On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life.People from all walks of life are benefiting considerably from its powerful function of information communication.But on the other hand, a great many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.Cyber-living resembles the experience of looking constantly into a kaleidoscope which displays both colored patterns and illusions.Such a waste of time inevitably leads to their failure in their life and work.Accordingly, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence.For one thing, college students in expanding numbers get on line every day to learn the news, to study English by registering for web courses, to exchange information through e-mails with their net friends and to download their favorite music, flash, film and pictures.Being veteran on-line shoppers, they frequently purchase books, CDs at much lower prices.For another, once indulged in the fictitious world, people can barely concentrate on real life.Consequently, many students just chat on line or play computer games immoderately everyday, skipping many essential classes.After all, Internet is invented to enrich our life, to connect you and me, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.8、环境问题
Directions: Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the pictures briefly;2)interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and 3)give your point of view.The pictures symbolically illustrate pollution is becoming increasingly serious around the globe.In the first cartoon, a man is scorching the earth on a chimney.In the second one, a famous ancient Chinese poet, Wang Bo is astonished by the heavy smoke poured by chimneys into the air and dirty river polluted by a factory.We are informed that “the autumn river is the same color with the sky”.The drawer is sending a message about the significance of the need for everyone to fight against the danger of environmental pollution.There is no denying that the industry is indications of civilization, progress and development.Unfortunately, as industry develops, so will the number of factories, and the amount of industry pollutants.We are so development-oriented that we almost can sacrifice our blue sky and pure water in order to obtain a little material gain.As a consequence, it is imperative for us to take drastic actions.On the one hand, the factories should be equipped with devices which can dispose of waste gas and water so as to prevent them from polluting our planet.On the other hand, there should be an increasingly loud voice from the public for firm actions against poisonous gas sent off and unhealthy water polluted by factories.9、职业道德
Directions: Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the pictures briefly;2)interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and 3)give your point of view.The cartoons vividly depict people in expanding numbers are engaged in open and rampant cheating in business.In the first drawing, a boy has no courage to have dinner in front of delicious foods in that there may exist pesticide pollution or poisonous elements in the foods.In the second picture, the administrative office, salesmen, breeding families and forage shops are laughing at the hanging of a poisonous duck.Professional dishonesty has a very damaging effect.In the first place, since cheating in business reveals the moral deficiencies as well as the humanity weakness of those businessmen who engage in it, the dishonest practice will ultimately exerts a perverse influence on the whole society.In the second place, it not only puts honest businessmen at a competitive disadvantage, encouraging those who did not cheat to adopt similar practices later, but undermines the very foundation of professional ethics in business.It is often painful to impose sanctions in a specific case.But it is worthwhile.For one thing, to eliminate professional dishonesty thoroughly, serious forms of punishment for a willful offense—a suspension of the offender from business—should be applied.For another, since the incentives to engage in cheating in business are mainly due to a lack of adequate precautions, drastic actions should be taken to prevent one form of cheating or another
10、青少年问题
Directions: Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the cartoon briefly;2)interpret the social phenomenon reflected by it, and 3)give your point of view.The cartoon vividly illustrates a gang of youngsters, holding axes in their hands, are rushing to fight with others.The caption reads, “Juvenile delinquency is increasingly lower than normal age.”
Careful deliberation of this problem has given me several ideas as to why this should be so.To begin with, with the rising divorce rate, some children are not properly taken care of, and are easily led astray by evildoers.What is more, devoid of the nourishment of education and a school environment, the teenagers failing in various entrance examinations become full of resentment at a society which they feel has rejected them.Last but not least, inexperienced and gullible young people plunge into the illusory world of electric games, on-line chat or even pornography.Such alienation from proper social values is the slippery slope to crime.It is my view that, first of all, the whole of society should attach great importance to the sound growth of youngsters.Furthermore, proper guidance and protection of adults and schools are vital to teenagers.To sum up, if we exert every effort, the juvenile crime rate will undoubtedly be brought down and effectively controlled in a short while.
