如何掌握英語寫作技巧

  (一)寫作基礎講解與練習:

掌握如何寫好篇章的技巧:

(1)注意篇章結構,合理佈局

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繫,內容完整、連貫。前後呼應,祛除與主題無關的內容。

(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,而後,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。

下面我們通過例子來學習、體會“主題句”

[範例1]

Something unpleasant happened to us on our way to the beach. In the morning, while we were waiting to buy train tickets in the railway station, a bus driver came over to us. He told us he also was going to the beach, the ride was cheap, and the bus was air-conditioned. We felt grateful and got on his bus. As we were talking happily on the way, the bus suddenly stopped. The driver said he needed two hours to repair the engine. While he was working on the engine, he turned off the air-conditioner. He actually took four hours to finish his job, and we spent the whole morning sweating in the heat!

[範例2]

I am an active boy and I talk more than listen. When I talk with my friends, I’m always ready to express myself. I’m not afraid to tell others what I think. I am usually the focus of the attention because I often have lots of ideas that interest everyone. In my opinion, people should share and exchange each other’s ideas. But when I am with the quiet people, I feel the air is frozen. I’m always trying to find a topic and start a conversation. In this way, people will like me and feel happy.

In a word, I am optimistic and active and I can make everybody as confident as me.
