一、寫好文章的開頭
開頭是作文在閱卷老師面前的第一次亮相，它將決定你所寫的文章在閱卷老師心中所留下的第一印象。如果第一印象好，就意味着有了良好的開端，也就成功了一半。good beginning is half done，我們該怎樣一提起筆就讓自己成功一半呢?
(一)“開門見山”式開頭
一般來說，文章的開頭應儘量做到“開門見山”，即要用簡單明瞭的語言引出文章的話題，使人一開始就能瞭解文章要說明的內容。
1. 對於敘事類的文章，可以在開頭把人物、時間、事件和環境交代清楚。如“a trip to huangshan(黃山之旅)”的開頭可以是：last month, my family went to huangshan by train. it took us ten hours to get there. what a long and tiring journey! we were tired but the beautiful scenery excited us.
2. 對於論述性的文章，可以在開頭處先闡明自己的觀點，接着展開進一步的論述。如“the time and the money(時間和金錢)” 的開頭可以是：most people say that money is more important than time. but i don’t think so. first, when money is used up, you can earn it back， but……
(二)回憶性開頭
在描述事件或遊記類的文章中，採用回憶性的開頭往往更能吸引人的眼球。這種類型的開頭中通常含有描述自己心情或情緒的詞彙，如never forget (永遠無法忘記), remember (記得)，unforgettable (難以忘懷的), exciting(令人激動的)，surprising(令人驚訝的), sad (難過的)……如“a trip to huangshan(黃山之旅)”的開頭還以這樣寫：i will never forget my first trip to huangshan. 或it was really an unforgettable experience i had.
(三)疑問性開頭
在敘事類或論述性的文章中，都可採用疑問型開頭，這樣既可以吸引閱卷者的注意又容易抓住中心。如“planting trees(種樹)”的開頭可以是：have you ever planted trees? don’t you think planting trees is ……
再如“traveling abroad(出國之旅)”的開頭可以是：if you have an opportunity to travel abroad, why not consider singapore?
(四)倒敘式開頭
在有的文章，特別是敘事類的文章中，可以採用倒敘的寫作手法，先寫出事件的結果，再陳述過程。如“catching thieves (捉賊)”的開頭可以這樣寫：i lay in bed in the hospital. i smiled at my friends even though my legs hurt. do you want to know what happened to me? let me tell you. it’s a … story.
關於怎樣寫英語作文二、寫好正文
(一).在整篇文章中，避免只使用一兩個句式，要靈活運用諸如倒裝句、強調句、主從複合句、分詞狀語等。
①強調句
[原文]my parents praised ah fu warmly. it had saved my little sister bravely.
[修正]my parents praised ah fu warmly. it was our brave ah fu who had saved my little sister
bravely.
②由what等引導的從句，此處的what相當於中文的“所……”，有很大的概括力，如:
[原文]we had to stand there to catch the offender.
[修正]what we had to do was (to) stand there， trying to catch the offender.
what china has achieved in rec
ent years is known through the world.
china is no longer what it used to be.
③由with或without引導的短語。如:
he sat in a chair with a newspaper in the hand.
④分詞短語。如:
satisfied with the result， he decided to go on with a new experiment.
⑤倒裝句。如:
only in this way can we achieve our goal.
never before have i seen such a wonderful film.
⑥省略句。如:
if so， victory will be ours.
you can make some changes wherever necessary.
⑦對比，這是中文中也常用的方法。如:
failure is not a crime， but failure to learn from failure is.
when i play， i feel excited， and after it i feel relaxed.
(二).通過分句和合句，增強句子的連貫性和表現力。
[原文]he stopped us half an hour ago. he made us catch the next offender.
[修正]he stopped us half an hour ago and made us catch the next offender.
[原文]we had a short rest. then we began to play happily. we sang and danced.
some told stories. some played chess.
[修正]after a short rest， we had great fun singing and dancing，telling jokes and playing chess.
(三).學會使用過渡詞。如:
①遞進: then(然後)， besides(還有)， furthermore(而且)， moreover(此外)等。
②轉折: however(然而)， but(但是)， on the country(相反)， after all(畢竟)等。
③總結: finally(最後)， at last(最後)， in brief(總之)， in conclusion(最後)等。
④強調: indeed(確實)， certainly(一定)， surely(確定)， above all(尤其)等。
⑤對比: in the same way(同樣地)， just as(正如)， on the one hand…on the other hand(一方面……另一方面……)等。
(四).注意使用不同長度的句子。
(五).對於“較複雜的詞彙”，可以從以下幾個方面着手。
①.注意使用詞組、習語來代替一些單詞，以增加文采。如:
[原文]a new railway is being built in my hometown.
[修正]a new railway is under construction in my hometown.
②.使用一些很有“洋味”的單詞。如:
thank you for sharing the time with us.
the way he views the world is very practical.
③.避免重複使用某一單詞或短語。如:
[原文]i like reading while my brother likes watching television.
[修正]i like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.
關於怎樣寫英語作文三、寫好文章的結尾
文章的結尾沒有固定的模式，同學們可以根據表達主題的需要靈活創造。一般情況下，記敘文和說明文經常採用自然結尾的方法;但夾敘夾議和發表觀點類的文章則往往有結束語，以使文章首尾呼應，結構完整。文章結尾的形式也因文章類別和開頭的風格而靈活多
(一)自然結尾，點明主題
隨着文章的結束，文章自然而然地結尾。如“helping the policeman(幫助警察)”的結尾可以是：the two children were praised by the police and they felt happy.
再如“the tortoise aand the hare(龜兔賽跑)” 的結尾可以是：when the hare got to the tree, the tortoise had already been there。
(二)首尾呼應，昇華主題
在文章的`結尾可以用含義較深的話點明主題，深化主題，起到“畫龍點睛”的效果。如“i love my hometown(我愛家鄉)”的結尾可以是：i love my hometown, and i am proud of it.
(三)反問結尾，引起深思
這種方式的結尾雖然形式是問句，但意義卻是肯定的，而且具有一定的強調作用，可引起他人的深思。如 “learning english can give us a lot of pleasure (學英語能爲我們帶來許多樂趣)” 的結尾可以是：if we learn english well, we can …don’t you think learning english is great fun?
(四)表達祝願，闡述願望
這種方式的結尾常出現在書信或演講稿的文體中，表示對他人的祝福或對將來的展望等。如“a letter to the farmers(給農民們的一封信)”的結尾可以是：i hope the farmers’ life will be better and better.
另外，書信的結尾常有以下形式的祝福語：best wishes;i wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year;i wish you have a good time等。
