英語寫作技巧
(一)掌握技巧:
(1)注意篇章結構,合理布局
開始部分(opening paragraph)——說出文中的要點、核心問題。
正文部分(Body paragraphs)——圍繞主題開展敘述、討論。
結尾部分(concluding paragraphs)——對全文的總結和概括。
要做到全文中心突出、段落之間必須是有機地聯系,內容完整、連貫。前后呼應,祛除與主題無關的內容.詳細可以參情況考ESL資源網站里面的writing部分。
(2)確定主題句
主題句是對全文的概括,是文章的主旨。它能在文章中起到“畫龍點睛”的作用。通常主題句出現
在一篇文章的開頭,而后,全文對主題句所提出的內容進行解釋,擴展。
寫主題句應注意以下幾點:
①歸納出你要寫的文章的幾個要點
②提煉出一句具有概括性的話
③主題句應具有可讀性,抓住、吸引讀者。
(二)巧用連接詞
要想使文章有整體性、連貫性,就要學會正確使用連接詞
表示羅列增加

中學生英語寫作技巧
作者:莊 靜
來源:《現代教育科學·中學校長》2008年第06期
英語書面表達在中考中占15分,是考察學生觀察能力、語言組織能力、及對所學詞匯和基本句型的運用能力。學生必須具備扎實的語言基礎、過硬的基本功,掌握一定的寫作技巧以及創造性思維能力,才能做好這類試題。
1.認真審題,明確要求。必須認真審讀題目提供的提示和要求,弄清題目給出的內容、格式、時間、環境,對所提供的內容進行分析。
2.了解體裁,把握時態。英語作文一般有記敘文、應用文,說明文和議論文。中考書面表達的題型有:日記、故事、書信、看圖寫話、通知、便條,對人或物或事的介紹等。各種文體都有自己的格式,一般地說,記敘文記敘的是已經發生的事,應以過去時為主;通知告訴的是將來要發生的事情,應以將來時為主;說明文闡明的是事實、性質或作用,應以現在時為主。綜合、準確把握材料的精神實質和寫作要求,避免出現文不對題的現象。
3.編擬提綱,組織句子。弄清題目所表達的主要意思后,便可根據主要內容,整理內容要點,組織句子。題目要求的內容都應寫進去。應選擇自己最熟悉,最有把握的詞語、句型、將要點表達出來。同時還要避難就易,會用多種表達方式表達同一個意思。
4.連詞成篇,語言得當。對寫好的句子按一定順序(時間、空間和邏輯)進行整理,不要毫無變化地一律使用簡單句。要用一些表示并列、轉折的句型和從句等。
5.緊扣要點,迂回表達。在近幾年的中考試題中,書面表達都是話題式作文,都是貼近學生生活、讓學生有話可說的作文。但有時題目所給的提示令學生一時想不起如何去表達。這時應該把提示的長句給拆分,采用另一種說法來表達相同的意思。這種方法被稱為“迂回表達”法。使用遞進、轉換等過渡詞,使文章連貫,自然,流暢。
6.精心修改,仔細核對。成文后,看看是否存在下列問題:格式、拼寫、標點、時態、語態、主謂一致、冠詞、介詞、單復數、比較等級、大小寫、代詞等用法錯誤或使用不當之處。
7.拼寫正確,書寫規范。抄寫時,書寫要工整認真,給閱卷老師留下美好的印象,爭取得滿分。
總之,英語寫作是英語語言的一種綜合性表達方式,它涉及造句能力、語法知識、邏輯思維等。學生要想掌握這門技巧,必須經過一段長時間有計劃、有步驟的嚴格訓練,才能切實提高。
第四篇:淺談英語寫作技巧
淺談英語寫作技巧
眾所周知,書面表達在中考中占有相當大的比重,而我們的學生在此方面失分甚多,以致影響最后總分,因此提高學生寫作能力勢在必行,而這又須掌握一定的寫作技巧。觀察近幾年的中考試題,其最常見的形式是要求考生根據所給信息和思想來寫作,亦稱為“情景作文”或“提示作文”,而學生對于語言要素綜合應用的能力較弱,寫出的東西往往是不符合英語表達習慣的“中文或英語”。作為一名英語教師,就必須經常提醒學生注意這一問題,并有意識地讓學生逐步接受英語表達的思維方式,久而久之學生才能寫出比較地道的英語,進而少犯甚至不犯Chinese English的錯誤,故英語書面表達訓練從八年級上學期就應開始,并逐步強化提高,最終達到應考要求。在此就自己日常教學中的經驗淺談學生英語寫作的技巧,最終達到“All roads lead to Rome”的目的。
一、多讀、多背好文章、范文。
“熟讀唐詩三百首,不會寫詩也會吟”,英語寫作也是如此。閱讀是寫作的基礎,在閱讀方面下的功夫越深,駕駛語言的能力也就越強。所以我認為:要寫好英語先要讀好英語,在語言學習方面狠下苦功,課本也要讀透,因為課本中的文章都是一些很好的范文,像文筆流暢、語言規范、精彩的一些課文段落要背誦。如果平時多讀多背好文章、好句子、諺語、俗語,寫書面表達就會起到畫龍點睛的作用,而這些句子、文章往往就在我們的身邊。
“熟能生巧”這是古訓,同樣適用于英語寫作。在平時學習中多留意、多收集素材,寫作時就不會手忙腳亂、無從下手。只要我們的學生堅持多讀、多背好句子、好文章,便可輕松寫出滿意的文章。
二、了解英語寫作格式
有了自己的英語片段的積累,還要了解英語寫作的不同體裁與格式。所以我要求我的學生在七年級時就先找一些專門介紹英語寫作入門的書來閱讀,讓其對英語寫作有一個初步的概念,如怎么寫記敘文(記敘文是通過記敘和描寫這兩種主要手段,通過寫人、寫景、寫事來表達某種思想或情感的一種文體)。一般來說記敘文有時間、地點、人物、事件、原因和結果六要素,寫作時只要明白清楚地給予表達;記人時,則要注意介紹人物的身世、經歷和事跡等,敘事時要描寫事情發生的發展過程。又如,英語書信的格式,如何根據不同身份寫不同的結束
語等,最后根據不同的體裁進行寫作訓練。
總之,學生要掌握各種文體格式,尤其是考試中常用文體,如書信、日記、通知、記敘文、留言條等,更應讓他們經常練習并掌握。
三、親自實踐,動手寫作
“臨淵羨魚,事發歸而結網”。如果僅僅掌握了寫作技巧、文體格式熟背了大量的文章,如果不親自動手實踐還是不行的,因為沒有一成不變的文章讓我們的學生照搬。
動手寫作,好處有二。第一練字,這樣可寫出一手干凈、整潔漂亮的handwriting;第二可查錯補缺,只有通過練習才能知道自己的不足與缺陷,便于老師和同學幫其修改、訂正。因為,說和寫是兩碼事。所以我要求學生從八年級開始便一周寫一篇日記或記事文章,糾正之后,讓他們抄寫在固定的“作文本”上,這樣,日積月累,考前只需翻翻自己的“作文本”,即可胸有成竹,full of confidence.總之,英語寫作能力差是大多數學生普遍存在的問題,而這種能力在日益激烈的競爭中又尤為重要。只要我們的學生在平時學習中語言素材積累多了,體裁格式記住了又經常練習不斷提高,到作文下筆時就會得心應手、水到渠成。There is a will, there is a way.英文寫作要提高結構設計能力
英語高考中的書面表達要求考生根據特定的情景,在30分鐘左右的時間內寫一篇不少于120字的英語短文,不僅要求學生對詞匯、語法、句型等基礎英語知識有相應的水平,在很大程度上還考查學生對段落和語篇結構的把握,真正使學生英語能力受到最全面的考核。筆者認為,英語寫作應引導學生運用所學到的語法知識來遣詞造句的同時,以句、段、篇結構為切入點,進行句型結構、段落結構以及語篇結構的系統教學,進行英語寫作訓練和實踐,培養學生英語寫作能力。句型結構
在句、段、篇三者中,句型結構是學生平時接觸最多的,幾乎中學教學的每一堂課,每一項練習都或多或少接觸到句型的運用和理解,但是在英語寫作過程中,學生往往只考慮意思,對語言本身卻顧不過來,小錯誤比比皆是。因此在寫作教學中,首先應當加強英語句型運用的練習。可以采用連詞成句和簡單句合并復合句的訓練,來強化學生運用各類句型的能力。
段落結構
短文寫作中,段落可以分成兩種類型,一種是描述性的,另一種則是議論性的。描述性段落是根據題目所給出的內容,包括圖畫、圖表等,發揮自己的想象力,對某一現象或事件進行一定的描寫。寫好這種段落的前提是要對所提供的材料進行仔細觀察,抓住其中的重點和必要的細節,將這些內容用適當的語法和句型表達出來。在表達過程中,應當注意事件發生的時間先后或者某一現象的發展趨勢。議論性的段落幾乎在每篇作文中都要碰到,即使在圖畫形式的短文寫作中,在描述事件后也需要發表一定的議論。要寫好議論性的英文段落,首先要確立段落中心思想,然后通過各種手段,如描述、例證、比較等,擺出具體的理由,展開這一主題。最常見的段落結構是一個中心句和數個支撐句,這種結構在英語閱讀理解的練習中也往往可以見到。中心句通常出現在段首,有時也可放在段落末尾或中間,但對于英語寫作能力尚不完善的高中學生來說,將中心句放在段落開始的方法比較容易把握。有了中心句,再加上幾個支撐句就構成了一個段落,寫支撐句時,要注意在句與句之間運用恰當的轉折詞,使文章顯得更加連貫流暢。語篇結構
語篇的結構就是一篇文章的框架,合理構思和合理安排每一段落,既要使每一段落都服務于文章的中心,維護文章的整體性,又要使每一段落分別闡述一個問題,保持相對的獨立性。在每次短文寫作之前,第一步就應當確定整個篇章的結構。高考(Q吧)的作文一般需要考生先將某一事件或現象表達清楚,然后對此發表自己的觀點和看法,近來又出現了純粹要求考生表達觀點的文章,如2001年全國高考中要求考生談論轎車進入家庭的影響。對于前一類文章,可將其分為兩個部分,其一是描述性部分,主要對所提供的內容加以敘述,其二是議論部分,對前一部分的內容發表自己的觀點;對于后一類文章可以把整篇文章分成三個部分,即開端,主體和結尾。一開頭立刻提出自己的觀點,并簡單扼要地列出支持觀點的兩到三個理由。這樣,在主體部分里,每一段落就是每個理由的進一步闡述。最后在結尾部分中,再總結一下整篇文章的觀點,同文章開頭呼應。但應當注意的是,結尾部分不應當是機械的重復,不僅在用詞和句型上有所變化,而且
在觀點上也應略有擴充,還可以提一下相反觀點的事情。這樣不僅結構完整,而且內容也更為充實。
第五篇:英語求職信寫作技巧
1、教育背景中寫相關課程。但千萬不要為了拼湊篇幅,把所有的課程一股腦兒地都寫上,如體育等。這樣不很有效,別人也沒耐心看。
2、獎學金一項一行。許多學生每年都有獎學金,這樣一來,也可寫出三四行,甚至更多。
2、適當拉長幾句句子。每個句子都可以加入一些詞拉長一些,其實拉長并不難,難的是縮短。
4、自然地多換行,多寫點句子。
5、加大字號??蓪?0號,小五改成12號,小四。
6、社會工作細節放在工作經歷中,這樣會填補工作經驗少的缺陷,例如,您在做團支書、學生會主席等社會工作時組織過什么活動,聯系過什么事,參與過什么都可以――羅列。
英文簡歷中敗筆:
1、長句:沒有人愿意看太冗長的句子,而且切記(you’re scanned, mot read.)原則,雇主只是在掃描您的簡歷。
2、縮句:因為外行人往往很難看懂。不要想當然地認為這是人所皆知的事情。
3、“i”我:因為正規簡歷多用點句,以動詞開頭,是沒有“我”的。當然若在公司簡介中一定要用到一兩次,也不是完全不可以。
4、不利因素:我們講過簡歷原則是不要撒謊,但不寫不等于騙人。大家可能還記得前面提到過的“簡歷中的任何字句都可能成為面試中的話題。”揚長避短的道理,我想大家都是知道的。
5、”reference available upon request.”::這上短短的意思是如需證明,可提供見證人。這
tipes:
1: 在許多英式、港式簡歷港文中經常出現,但是美式的簡歷則不要這樣寫。
2: 以上幾方面是一般情況下包括的內容,具體取舍因人、因時、因對象而異,切忌照搬。
