英语写作技巧
(一)掌握技巧:
(1)注意篇章结构,合理布局
开始部分(opening paragraph)——说出文中的要点、核心问题。
正文部分(Body paragraphs)——围绕主题开展叙述、讨论。
结尾部分(concluding paragraphs)——对全文的总结和概括。
要做到全文中心突出、段落之间必须是有机地联系,内容完整、连贯。前后呼应,祛除与主题无关的内容.详细可以参情况考ESL资源网站里面的writing部分。
(2)确定主题句
主题句是对全文的概括,是文章的主旨。它能在文章中起到“画龙点睛”的作用。通常主题句出现
在一篇文章的开头,而后,全文对主题句所提出的内容进行解释,扩展。

中学生英语写作技巧
作者:庄 静
来源:《现代教育科学·中学校长》2008年第06期
英语书面表达在中考中占15分,是考察学生观察能力、语言组织能力、及对所学词汇和基本句型的运用能力。学生必须具备扎实的语言基础、过硬的基本功,掌握一定的写作技巧以及创造性思维能力,才能做好这类试题。
1.认真审题,明确要求。必须认真审读题目提供的提示和要求,弄清题目给出的内容、格式、时间、环境,对所提供的内容进行分析。
2.了解体裁,把握时态。英语作文一般有记叙文、应用文,说明文和议论文。中考书面表达的题型有:日记、故事、书信、看图写话、通知、便条,对人或物或事的介绍等。各种文体都有自己的格式,一般地说,记叙文记叙的是已经发生的事,应以过去时为主;通知告诉的是将来要发生的事情,应以将来时为主;说明文阐明的是事实、性质或作用,应以现在时为主。综合、准确把握材料的精神实质和写作要求,避免出现文不对题的现象。
3.编拟提纲,组织句子。弄清题目所表达的主要意思后,便可根据主要内容,整理内容要点,组织句子。题目要求的内容都应写进去。应选择自己最熟悉,最有把握的词语、句型、将要点表达出来。同时还要避难就易,会用多种表达方式表达同一个意思。
4.连词成篇,语言得当。对写好的句子按一定顺序(时间、空间和逻辑)进行整理,不要毫无变化地一律使用简单句。要用一些表示并列、转折的句型和从句等。
5.紧扣要点,迂回表达。在近几年的中考试题中,书面表达都是话题式作文,都是贴近学生生活、让学生有话可说的作文。但有时题目所给的提示令学生一时想不起如何去表达。这时应该把提示的长句给拆分,采用另一种说法来表达相同的意思。这种方法被称为“迂回表达”法。使用递进、转换等过渡词,使文章连贯,自然,流畅。
6.精心修改,仔细核对。成文后,看看是否存在下列问题:格式、拼写、标点、时态、语态、主谓一致、冠词、介词、单复数、比较等级、大小写、代词等用法错误或使用不当之处。
7.拼写正确,书写规范。抄写时,书写要工整认真,给阅卷老师留下美好的印象,争取得满分。
总之,英语写作是英语语言的一种综合性表达方式,它涉及造句能力、语法知识、逻辑思维等。学生要想掌握这门技巧,必须经过一段长时间有计划、有步骤的严格训练,才能切实提高。
第四篇:浅谈英语写作技巧
浅谈英语写作技巧
众所周知,书面表达在中考中占有相当大的比重,而我们的学生在此方面失分甚多,以致影响最后总分,因此提高学生写作能力势在必行,而这又须掌握一定的写作技巧。观察近几年的中考试题,其最常见的形式是要求考生根据所给信息和思想来写作,亦称为“情景作文”或“提示作文”,而学生对于语言要素综合应用的能力较弱,写出的东西往往是不符合英语表达习惯的“中文或英语”。作为一名英语教师,就必须经常提醒学生注意这一问题,并有意识地让学生逐步接受英语表达的思维方式,久而久之学生才能写出比较地道的英语,进而少犯甚至不犯Chinese English的错误,故英语书面表达训练从八年级上学期就应开始,并逐步强化提高,最终达到应考要求。在此就自己日常教学中的经验浅谈学生英语写作的技巧,最终达到“All roads lead to Rome”的目的。
一、多读、多背好文章、范文。
“熟读唐诗三百首,不会写诗也会吟”,英语写作也是如此。阅读是写作的基础,在阅读方面下的功夫越深,驾驶语言的能力也就越强。所以我认为:要写好英语先要读好英语,在语言学习方面狠下苦功,课本也要读透,因为课本中的文章都是一些很好的范文,像文笔流畅、语言规范、精彩的一些课文段落要背诵。如果平时多读多背好文章、好句子、谚语、俗语,写书面表达就会起到画龙点睛的作用,而这些句子、文章往往就在我们的身边。
“熟能生巧”这是古训,同样适用于英语写作。在平时学习中多留意、多收集素材,写作时就不会手忙脚乱、无从下手。只要我们的学生坚持多读、多背好句子、好文章,便可轻松写出满意的文章。
二、了解英语写作格式
有了自己的英语片段的积累,还要了解英语写作的不同体裁与格式。所以我要求我的学生在七年级时就先找一些专门介绍英语写作入门的书来阅读,让其对英语写作有一个初步的概念,如怎么写记叙文(记叙文是通过记叙和描写这两种主要手段,通过写人、写景、写事来表达某种思想或情感的一种文体)。一般来说记叙文有时间、地点、人物、事件、原因和结果六要素,写作时只要明白清楚地给予表达;记人时,则要注意介绍人物的身世、经历和事迹等,叙事时要描写事情发生的发展过程。又如,英语书信的格式,如何根据不同身份写不同的结束
语等,最后根据不同的体裁进行写作训练。
总之,学生要掌握各种文体格式,尤其是考试中常用文体,如书信、日记、通知、记叙文、留言条等,更应让他们经常练习并掌握。
三、亲自实践,动手写作
“临渊羡鱼,事发归而结网”。如果仅仅掌握了写作技巧、文体格式熟背了大量的文章,如果不亲自动手实践还是不行的,因为没有一成不变的文章让我们的学生照搬。
动手写作,好处有二。第一练字,这样可写出一手干净、整洁漂亮的handwriting;第二可查错补缺,只有通过练习才能知道自己的不足与缺陷,便于老师和同学帮其修改、订正。因为,说和写是两码事。所以我要求学生从八年级开始便一周写一篇日记或记事文章,纠正之后,让他们抄写在固定的“作文本”上,这样,日积月累,考前只需翻翻自己的“作文本”,即可胸有成竹,full of confidence.总之,英语写作能力差是大多数学生普遍存在的问题,而这种能力在日益激烈的竞争中又尤为重要。只要我们的学生在平时学习中语言素材积累多了,体裁格式记住了又经常练习不断提高,到作文下笔时就会得心应手、水到渠成。There is a will, there is a way.英文写作要提高结构设计能力
英语高考中的书面表达要求考生根据特定的情景,在30分钟左右的时间内写一篇不少于120字的英语短文,不仅要求学生对词汇、语法、句型等基础英语知识有相应的水平,在很大程度上还考查学生对段落和语篇结构的把握,真正使学生英语能力受到最全面的考核。笔者认为,英语写作应引导学生运用所学到的语法知识来遣词造句的同时,以句、段、篇结构为切入点,进行句型结构、段落结构以及语篇结构的系统教学,进行英语写作训练和实践,培养学生英语写作能力。句型结构
在句、段、篇三者中,句型结构是学生平时接触最多的,几乎中学教学的每一堂课,每一项练习都或多或少接触到句型的运用和理解,但是在英语写作过程中,学生往往只考虑意思,对语言本身却顾不过来,小错误比比皆是。因此在写作教学中,首先应当加强英语句型运用的练习。可以采用连词成句和简单句合并复合句的训练,来强化学生运用各类句型的能力。
段落结构
短文写作中,段落可以分成两种类型,一种是描述性的,另一种则是议论性的。描述性段落是根据题目所给出的内容,包括图画、图表等,发挥自己的想象力,对某一现象或事件进行一定的描写。写好这种段落的前提是要对所提供的材料进行仔细观察,抓住其中的重点和必要的细节,将这些内容用适当的语法和句型表达出来。在表达过程中,应当注意事件发生的时间先后或者某一现象的发展趋势。议论性的段落几乎在每篇作文中都要碰到,即使在图画形式的短文写作中,在描述事件后也需要发表一定的议论。要写好议论性的英文段落,首先要确立段落中心思想,然后通过各种手段,如描述、例证、比较等,摆出具体的理由,展开这一主题。最常见的段落结构是一个中心句和数个支撑句,这种结构在英语阅读理解的练习中也往往可以见到。中心句通常出现在段首,有时也可放在段落末尾或中间,但对于英语写作能力尚不完善的高中学生来说,将中心句放在段落开始的方法比较容易把握。有了中心句,再加上几个支撑句就构成了一个段落,写支撑句时,要注意在句与句之间运用恰当的转折词,使文章显得更加连贯流畅。语篇结构
语篇的结构就是一篇文章的框架,合理构思和合理安排每一段落,既要使每一段落都服务于文章的中心,维护文章的整体性,又要使每一段落分别阐述一个问题,保持相对的独立性。在每次短文写作之前,第一步就应当确定整个篇章的结构。高考(Q吧)的作文一般需要考生先将某一事件或现象表达清楚,然后对此发表自己的观点和看法,近来又出现了纯粹要求考生表达观点的文章,如2001年全国高考中要求考生谈论轿车进入家庭的影响。对于前一类文章,可将其分为两个部分,其一是描述性部分,主要对所提供的内容加以叙述,其二是议论部分,对前一部分的内容发表自己的观点;对于后一类文章可以把整篇文章分成三个部分,即开端,主体和结尾。一开头立刻提出自己的观点,并简单扼要地列出支持观点的两到三个理由。这样,在主体部分里,每一段落就是每个理由的进一步阐述。最后在结尾部分中,再总结一下整篇文章的观点,同文章开头呼应。但应当注意的是,结尾部分不应当是机械的重复,不仅在用词和句型上有所变化,而且
在观点上也应略有扩充,还可以提一下相反观点的事情。这样不仅结构完整,而且内容也更为充实。
第五篇:英语求职信写作技巧
1、教育背景中写相关课程。但千万不要为了拼凑篇幅,把所有的课程一股脑儿地都写上,如体育等。这样不很有效,别人也没耐心看。
2、奖学金一项一行。许多学生每年都有奖学金,这样一来,也可写出三四行,甚至更多。
2、适当拉长几句句子。每个句子都可以加入一些词拉长一些,其实拉长并不难,难的是缩短。
4、自然地多换行,多写点句子。
5、加大字号。可将10号,小五改成12号,小四。
6、社会工作细节放在工作经历中,这样会填补工作经验少的缺陷,例如,您在做团支书、学生会主席等社会工作时组织过什么活动,联系过什么事,参与过什么都可以――罗列。
英文简历中败笔:
1、长句:没有人愿意看太冗长的句子,而且切记(you’re scanned, mot read.)原则,雇主只是在扫描您的简历。
2、缩句:因为外行人往往很难看懂。不要想当然地认为这是人所皆知的事情。
3、“i”我:因为正规简历多用点句,以动词开头,是没有“我”的。当然若在公司简介中一定要用到一两次,也不是完全不可以。
4、不利因素:我们讲过简历原则是不要撒谎,但不写不等于骗人。大家可能还记得前面提到过的“简历中的任何字句都可能成为面试中的话题。”扬长避短的道理,我想大家都是知道的。
5、”reference available upon request.”::这上短短的意思是如需证明,可提供见证人。这
tipes:
1: 在许多英式、港式简历港文中经常出现,但是美式的简历则不要这样写。
2: 以上几方面是一般情况下包括的内容,具体取舍因人、因时、因对象而异,切忌照搬。
