第一篇:英語寫作心得
英語寫作心得
一、寫作的前提
寫作,即書面表達題是高考英語試題中的壓軸戲,它要求學生清楚、連貫地傳遞信息、表達意思。它是對英語語言實際使用能力的考核(測試),分值為25分,所以舉足輕重。它既像作文、又不完全是作文,因為它是Guided Writing而不是Free Writing,不能離開要求,自行立意選材,隨意發揮。它類似翻譯又不同于翻譯,需進行適當的加工處理,具有較大的靈活性。
二、積累心得
一般寫作中出現的問題
(1)審題不慎,思路混亂。如把寫短文寫成抄寫詩歌,突出贊頌這位教師的品質變成寫他的教學形式。
(2)內容點不全。在文章中要求學生提出這種方式的結果,但這一點被不少學生所忽略。
(3)語言表達不準確。在試卷中出現的語言表達不準確,除此之外,還有時態、代詞、名詞的數、非謂語動詞和從句等錯誤類型。
(4)缺乏表達技能
(5)書寫不規范。其中包括不注意大小寫、標點符號不清,字跡潦草,字數不足或過多,亂涂亂畫等。
2.應對策略
針對上述問題并根據筆者的教學實踐,筆者采取了如下對策:
(1)審清題意、明確要求。要求學生弄清文體(記敘文、說明文、議論文,日記、書信、通知等),弄清人物的身份,事情發生的時間、地點、字數限制,還要確定人稱,時態等。如上述作文應該是以第三人稱為口吻的簡短記敘文,時態為一般現在時,即Mr.Moore is one of the teachers who impress us most…
(2)取舍信息,列舉要點。圍繞作文題目中心篩選已獲取的信息以突出重點,在草稿紙上列出要點以免內容不全,同時為擴點成文做好準備。如:短詩中出現了He leads us to a world of “why”,而不少學生沒有提到這種方式的結果,即He has helped us to learn或We've learned how to analyze and settle problems.另外,整理要點時注意:沒有必要大肆發揮,若題目安排可適當發揮,因為高考評分主要看內容要點是否齊全。
(3)加強語言表達的準確性。對于多數中學生來說,英文寫作主要是避免語法錯誤、從而正確表達,針對這種情況,筆者在教學實踐中常幫助學生總結并糾正錯誤類型。
學生們常在名詞的數、冠詞、代詞的格,主謂一致、時態、語態、動詞的過去時,過去動詞、情態動詞、常見動詞的用法、非謂語動詞、形容詞、副詞以及關系詞,連接詞等方面出現錯誤,經常幫助他們發現、糾正、總結錯誤對于寫作確實有好處。
(4)利用五種簡單句式。無論中學生的英語水平如何,都要加強寫作基本功訓練,從寫作基本句式做起,把五種簡單句式掌握好,然后在此基礎上添磚加瓦,甚至進行裝飾點綴,從而構成復雜漂亮的句子。
第二篇:英語寫作心得
生們一定特別想在雅思寫作中拿到高分。那么拿高分也有一些方法,一些注意的事項,在平時練習中我們就要重視起來。
首先,考生一定要做到勤于動筆,勤于思考
很多同學在看作文題目時,只是自己腦子里想一想,認為自己肯定能寫得出,因而不愿意去動筆,一旦真正開始寫的時候才發現這些題目遠不是自己想象的那么簡單,才意識到要寫出一篇好的雅思作文并不是那么容易的事。所以在備考時,考生應該多動筆,多思考,踏踏實實的去完成每一篇作文,這樣才能真正了解雅思寫作是怎么回事,了解自己的寫作能力到底怎么樣,進而有針對性的提高寫作能力。
第二,考生一定要認真修改自己寫的每一篇作文
考生在自己做練習時,一碰到作文題目只是一味地去寫,寫了很多篇文章卻不見自己的作文有所長進。這種題海戰術是非常不可靠的,光是寫而沒有去修改,這種方式收效其實非常低。修改一篇作文不僅僅是找出錯誤和不足這么簡單,還是一個不斷更正不足和自我提高的過程,通過對作文的修改,找出自己常犯的錯誤和常用的一些過于簡單或不夠地道的表達,在以后的寫作過程中有意識的避免它們的出現,這些都是修改作文帶來的提高。另外,除了自己修改外,最好是能請寫作能力比較強的人幫忙修改,如果能找到外國人幫忙修改就更好了,因為這些人能非常清楚的看到文章中一些隱藏的不足,提出很多自己不易發現的問題,這對寫作分數的提升有很大幫助。
第三,考生一定要善于利用高分例文
有些考生會背一些例文,但是只是背是沒有用的,我們應該要善于利用高分例文,吸取其中的精華。雅思考試中如果考官認為你的文章是抄襲例文,那么分數一定會非常低。況且高分例文的價值遠不止背誦和套用,要拿到雅思寫作的高分,就一定要善于利用它們。
一篇雅思寫作范文有其特定的情景,詞匯積累在特定的情景和句子當中進行,這樣對詞匯的理解和記憶都會深刻很多,對其用法也比較容易掌握。另外句型也是積累的重點,如果在例文中見到好的句子結構,不妨摘抄下來,并在自己的寫作過程中盡量運用好這些結構。
雅思寫作詞匯論
2013-09-11 | 編輯: 無 | 有116人參與 | 來自: 匿名
眾所周知,我國雅思考生的傳統弱項一直以來都是雅思寫作。而在官方公布的雅思寫作四大評分標準(Task Response-內容, Coherence and Cohesion-邏輯, Lexical Resource-詞匯, Grammatical Range and Accuracy-語法)當中,詞匯的部分一直是大多數考生最容易失分的部分。具體而言,很多時候考生在一篇雅思作文中寫出來的句子乍一看每一個單詞都沒有錯,但當這些單詞組合成一個完整的句子的時候各種問題就會出現。究其原因,大多數考生缺乏正確的詞匯搭配意識。
我們來看一個典型的例子,來自于某雅思考生寫的句子,關于廉價航空(cheap flights)的利弊的:
Some discount airlines are so cheap that they cost less than the airport taxes.粗略一看,這個句子似乎并沒有什么問題,意思也很明確:有些廉價航空公司是如此便宜以至于其花費比機場建設稅還要來得少。
一個一個單詞來看的話,這個句子當中并沒有哪一個單詞是絕對錯誤的。但組合起來就有問題了!具體來說,句子的主語是discount airlines,be動詞后面跟的表語卻是cheap。在英語當中,我們可以說An airline ticket is so cheap,但不能說airline本身很cheap。也就是說,如果一個句子中用cheap做表語(放在be動詞后面),其主語應該是某種商品。就像中文里你可以說“環球雅思的課程很便宜”,但你不能說“環球雅思很便宜”。
由這個案例我們應該意識到,雅思寫作當中詞匯的搭配萬分重要。為什么很多背了幾百個高分單詞的考生寫作基本都是5分?因為他們背的是單個的一個單詞的中文意思,沒有去研究這個詞和哪些詞搭配。平時的閱讀中,一旦看到一個我們不認識的做表語的形容詞,我們就應該習慣性地去看一下其主語是什么。同理,碰到一個及物動詞,就應該習慣性地確認其后面一般搭配什么樣的名詞作為賓語。只有真正地掌握了詞匯之間的搭配,才能大幅度地提高雅思寫作中詞匯使用的準確率,從而提升雅思寫作的得分
雅思大作文Opinion類結構大解析
2013-09-11 | 編輯: 無 | 有91人參與 | 來自: 匿名
翻看雅思大作文,我們會發現很多題目都是這么問的:Do you agree or disagree?? / To what extent do you agree or disagree?這類題目就是我們常說的Opinion類作文。
要注意的一點是:如果是問A&D,那么答案只有兩個即A or D.不能持中立;如果是問extent,那么可以有3種答案totally, mostly and partly.接下來我們就來介紹這類文章的結構思路。
寫法1)雙邊平衡論證1:1
在introduction 部分先明確的提出立場,支持A或B,或者支持AB
分別論述A這個觀點存在的理由;B這個觀點存在的理由,然后提出自己的偏
好(preference)
總結部分要注意,不要出現具體的觀點,但是又能夠使得讀者僅能通過最
末段就能夠了解整個文章的結構和觀點,可以通過用同義句替換每個部分的總結句,然后加之一個全文的總結來寫。
寫法2)雙邊不平衡論證2:1
比如在手段先提出自己的立場是支持A
部分可以論述兩個A存在的理由,一個B存在的理由,即有所偏重。
在conclusion部分表明自己的觀點,進行總結。在總結部分不能加入新的論據,要謹記!
寫法3)單邊論證3:0
(本法僅用于回答 do you agree or disagree?即無需討論both views,審題的時候要注意)
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:
寫法4)回答to what extent do you agree or disagree?
表明立場分為三種:Totally(3:0)/mostly(2:1)/partly(1:1)
然后再根據前面所詳述過的三種寫法進行論述。
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
雅思大作文你會discuss嗎?
2013-09-11 | 編輯: 無 | 有97人參與 | 來自: 匿名
“ Discusses both views and give your opinions.”就是傳說中的雅思大作文Discussion類。對于這種寫作題目,有著自己獨特的寫作構思。
一般比較就是進行優缺點的比較,為了避免文章中反復出現advantages和disadvantages,環球雅思老師首先先介紹有利因素和不利因素的其他表示方法。與Advantages表示相近或相同意思的詞匯有:merit, benefit, value, strength, pros.與之對應的表示Disadvantages有:downsides, weakness, cons, pitfall, defect.而discussion類作文有三種考法:
1、單項事物的優缺點比較:
分成四段:Introduction和Conclusion各一段,而Body部分分為兩段,一段寫優點一段寫缺點。要注意每個優點或缺點都至少用兩句話來敘述,并且用事實例子進行論證說理。
2、兩個事物的優缺點比較
與單項事物優缺點不同的地方在于主體段,主體段落部分,一段寫事物A的優缺點,一段寫事物B的優缺點。
E.g.Private vs.public transportation
分成四段:Introduction
Body(private As & Ds,Public As % Ds)
Conclusion 前面兩類的敘述沒有連接,可以在總結中做兩個部分的銜接。(比較推薦使用這個結構,不太推薦先集中敘述兩者的優點,再集中敘述兩者的缺點。因為這兩項的優缺點經常是互逆的,這樣寫容易讓考官有重復的感覺。而重復是大忌。)
3、多個事物比較:(很少用到)
首先把多個事物進行歸類,分成2-3類,然后如前一種方法進行論述。
E.g.Magazine, newspaper, TV, radio, book, internet, 比較獲取信息的方式。
分成四段:Introduction
Body(traditional: As & Ds和Modern: As & Ds)
Conclusion
當然在比較的時候不能只比較2-3大類,要把題目中提到的所有的事物都一一進行比較,可以作為具體例子插入補充。
第三篇:英語寫作教學心得
問題的提出
新課程標準在對學生情感方面的要求指出“讓學生明確英語學習的目的是為了溝通和表達”。說和寫是溝通和表達的兩種重要形式,溝通和表達是人內心的需要。但是在高中英語教學中,大部分同學沒有時間和空間讓他們感到確實有用英語溝通和表達的需求和愿望,說和寫基本處于一種被動狀態。就作文而言,受高考模式的影響,在平時的作文教學中教師往往采取命題作文的形式,操練各種如看圖作文、根據漢語信息提示進行諸如書信、通知、個人簡介、敘述故事不同形式的寫作,并有字數和時間的限制,全班一個樣,三年沒變化。這種訓練注重格式的規范,思想的統一,語言的一致,它無疑對提高應試能力有很大的幫助。但它同時也淹沒了部分學生的自主創造的潛能,忽視的學生之間的個體差異,扼殺了學生的寫作興趣,這不能不說是一種遺憾。
基于以上想法,借鑒語文作文周記的形式,根據上海高考卷以及目前各地模擬試卷和練習上頻頻出現的話題作文的趨勢,基于我所任教班級為實驗班的特點,我在進行命題作文規范各種文體寫作的同時,以提高學生興趣、創設一個讓學生溝通和表達的外部環境為目的,在高一年級進行了英語開放式話題作文的嘗試。
所謂開放性話題作文,就是指不給出寫作的全部內容,只提供一個背景,一個話題,或者一幅圖,讓學生根據個人的體驗和經驗自由地發揮,可以是讀后感,也可以是展開想象對材料添加前因或續寫結尾,總之它對內容沒有太多的約束,學生有較大的選擇余地。
一、精心選材,搭建作文想象的平臺
開放式話題作文并非無邊無際,在話題的選擇,材料的的提供上須能引起他們的興趣,符合青少年的身心發展特征,培養他們樹立正確的人生觀,價值觀,真正觸發他們對所熟悉的事物及人生的思考。尋找恰當的背景材料成了我每次作文前必做的準備工作。我依據能打動自己、貼近學生、語言地道、情節生動、關注熱點、題材廣泛的原則進行選材。課后閱讀材料的生詞控制在7%左右,并且利用課堂時間對檢查出的閱讀理解上的錯誤進行簡要的分析,并適當地講解文中的長句、難句,排除學生對所讀材料內容和文字上的困難。本學期我選擇了字數在400—800不等的圍繞人口與環境、戰爭與和平、婚姻與家庭、文明與進步的材料30多篇,為學生提供了大量的寫作依據。使作文成為有本之源。
二、設計話題,制造溝通和表達的需求
提供了材料,并不能就此放手讓學生自由寫作。在閱讀的基礎上,我要求學生根據文中內容,圍繞“認同、變化、選擇、關系、沖突”等五個不同的主題進行聯想,每個主題再提出1~3個不等的問題引導學生進行討論。問題的設計不必全圍繞材料的主題,它可以是文章中能夠讓學生找到共鳴的很小的一點。例如有一篇材料是記者采訪,被訪者是一位女性愛滋病研究人員。在采訪中,她提到了自己名字的來歷、專業的選擇等等。這些雖不是此篇采訪的主要目的,但我設計了如“你的名字的怎么來的?”“你對愛滋病了解多少?”“老師應不應該給學生選擇專業?”“你是怎樣對待學習中的挫折的?”等10多個問題讓學生從中任選一個作文,題目自擬。由于選題廣,且有文章為鋪墊,幾乎所有的同學都能從自己的興趣,生活經驗和知識水平出發,1
找到自己想要表達的東西。
三、及時批閱,了解個案詳情
和命題作文一樣,批閱工作量大常使教師望而生畏。在命題作文中,有時一個英語教師改兩個班(100多人)的作文,改到最后怕是胃口全無。因此不少教師力圖尋找一種“事半功倍”的作文批改方法,例如互改,抽改,利用投影等現代化手段全班一起改等以期達到“糾正錯誤”的目標。但是學生的作文不同于工廠里的產品,哪個學生不希望自己的作文得到教師的親自批閱呢?而且開放式話題作文的特點,每位學生的角度不同,寫作內容各異,出現的語言上的錯誤也不盡相同,及時批閱,了解個案是教師做好寫作后評講的依據。在批閱過程中,我不僅摘錄下典型錯句供學生集體訂正,同時也摘錄下精彩的語句和有一定思想深度的句子供全體同學欣賞。
經過一年的嘗試,我深感開放試話題作文在提高學生興趣,發揮學生主體作用、溝通師生感情等方面有著命題作文所不能達到的效果。
一、激發了學生的寫作熱情,讓每一個學生有話可說,有話要說。
需求產生愿望,當學生感到自己“我要說”時,他的積極性就會極大地調動起來。有一次,我讓同學讀了一篇關于一位恐龍考古學家的苦與樂的文章。有好幾位同學便以“Would you enjoy being a dinosaur hunter?”為題,惟妙惟肖地描寫了電影《侏羅紀公元》里恐龍大戰的場面,表現出對恐龍這種已經滅絕了的動物的興趣,表示若有可能也愿像文中的人物一樣成為一個dinosaur hunter。還有一位女同學饒有興趣地描寫了小時侯的一次“考古發現”——從土里挖出的一個舊碗。文中充滿了一個兒童對陌生事物的好奇。還有一次在讀了一篇關于文化差異而導致作者在“fit in”一個新的環境里遇到尷尬的文章后,不少同學就以“Have you ever felt that you didn't fit in?What caused you to feel this way?”為題,講述了他們在剛進校時遇到的與新同學、新環境不相適應的感受,以及克服困難,調整自己的一些做法。有一位同學還寫到:It is not necessary for you to fit in everything。這些作文表達了同學們的所知、所想、所感、所惑,他們體驗到了寫作來抒發感情的快樂,他們學會思考。
二、尊重學生個體差異,提高學生的自信心。
我所任教的班級一半同學來自農村,不同的家庭背景、生活環境,使他們性格各異,英語學科的實際運用水平特別的口語水平參差不齊,在課堂上的表現也不盡相同。有的同學性格外向,天生好表現,課堂上容易引起教師的注意;有些同學靦腆,口語不好,不愿也不敢在課堂上表達自己。作為教師應該正視并尊重這種差異,一方面要想辦法鼓勵后者縮小與前者的差距,同時也要給后者創造放大自己優勢的機會。在開放式話題作文中,我制定了“有話則長,無話則短,上不封頂,下有保底,鼓勵多寫”的原則。實際上,在課堂上似乎不太活躍的同學往往在作文時思維活躍,有些同學洋洋灑灑能寫幾百字,也許連他們自己都沒有意識到自己是那么“能說會道”。他們為自己有較強的用英語表達思想情感的能力而感到興奮,同時也促進了他們的提高口語表達能力和學好英語的信心。
三、促進生生、師生間的情感交流
開放式話題作文充分體現了學生的主體地位。由于各人寫作的話題不盡相同,每次作文后,我都要向學生推薦好作文,要求他們至少要與自己前后左右幾位同學交流一下,選擇相同話題的同學想知道“他是怎么寫的?”;選擇不同話題的同學想知道“他寫了什么?”作為教師,也不再是拿著把尺子的考官。每每讀他們的作文,我都覺得我在傾聽。出乎我的意料之外的是,作文還讓我及時了解到學生的思想動態,對他們進行全體或個別的的感情交流。有一次,文章后的話題是“How did you get your name?Why did your parents choose this name for you?”很多同學詳細描寫了取名的過程和蘊涵的意義。我因勢利導,對他們說:無論你的名字是什么,它都蘊涵了父母對子女的成材的殷切希望和對美好生活的憧憬,希望每個人“deserve your name”。有一位來自同學農村,在作文中他對城里人看不起農村人一事非常氣憤。在給他的評語中我這樣寫到“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.”有的同學在作文中表現出過分的競爭意識,認為學習的目的在于把別人“比下去”。面對這些暴露出來問題,我利用評語和他們談心,及時糾正這種偏差。事實證明學生是非常在乎歡迎這種平等式對話的。當然話題作文增加了批改的難度,作為考試形式還存在著掌握統一的評分標準的問題,但筆者認為在高中英語教學的各個階段,如能在進行命題作文訓練的同時有計劃地在增加開放式話題作文的練習,對激發學生的學生的學習興趣和創新能力大有裨益,對英語教學的其他方面也會起到積極的促進作用。

6、交通問題
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、網絡問題
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、環境問題
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、職業道德
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

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.
