寫作裏有一個說法是“鳳首、豬肚、豹尾”，即是說“起要引人入勝，中要言之有物，結要耐人尋味”。英文寫作也一樣，要注重開頭寫作。下面是小編分享的英語作文開頭寫作方法，一起來看一下吧。
1.開頭段的構成
英語專業四級的開頭段一般由兩部分構成：
根據寫作要求中的“情景”，INTRODUCTION(引語)部分可單純介紹社會生活現狀，也可以引出人們對同一社會現象的不同看法，注意不要照搬“情景”中的語言，這樣會影響評閱老師對作文的整體印象。THESIS(論點)部分在陳述自己觀點時要注意兩點：①要根據“情景”、“標題”和“三段式寫作要求”確定中心論點;②陳述中心論點時，立場要明確，不要模棱兩可。
(1)照搬“情景”中的背景介紹;而句(2)中的中心論點忽略了題目要求中的main difference，還模棱兩可地提出了大學生活與中學生活既有不同點又有相似點。
對照組1：
①Every college student wouldagree that life in college is not the same asit was in the middle school.
②I thinkthere are many differences as well assimilarities.
(2)的引介部分在語言上實現了四處比較巧妙的改變;中心論點部分也按照寫作要求，指明瞭主要區別在於獨立性的程度。
對照組2：
①It is generally accepted byundergraduates that college life is quitedifferent from that of middle-school.
②Inmy eye，the main difference lies in thedegree of independence.
2.開頭段寫法
(1)經典引語法：引用名人名言、有哲理性的'習語(包括諺語)、或是爲大衆普遍接受的言論開頭。
例 Edison once said，“Genius was 1 percent inspiration and 99 perspiration” achieve more in the future，we college students shouldvalue tedious and hard work and do our utmost to grasp more practical knowledgeno matter how intelligent we are or are supposed to be.
例1首段引用了愛迪生的至理名言，從而自然引出文章主題：作爲大學生，我們應該珍視漫長而艱苦的努力過程。
例days，mobile phones have become an indispensable part in peopie’S daily ver，as the proverb goes， “There is no garden withoutweed”，cell phones also exercise negative influences upon our life and work.
例2中作者運用諺語自然引出手機的缺點。
(2)正反對比法：用反面觀點引出中心論點，從反面強調事物的重要性。
例hing is a great is like a ship，ferrying the studentsfrom one side to the other side in the ocean of is like an angel，bringing all the love to the out the teaching e wouldbe no scientists，no educators，no technicians，no engineers，out theteaching profession，science and technology would not develop so rapidly as itdoes now，and human civilization would not have developed so splendidly.
例3開頭段用兩個without引出教育工作的重要性，爲下文的論述做好了鋪墊。
(3)欲擒故縱法：在引出作者個人觀點之前，先用普通人的觀點或解決方法作爲鋪墊，然後筆鋒一轉，點明個人與衆不同的觀點。例如：
例4.
(1)It is now generally accepted that vehicles(cars，trucks，etc.)are amajor source of air pollution in cities.
(2)Some solutions to the problem havebeen proposed，such as reducing the number of vehicles and using lead—freepetrol.
(3)However，I would suggest replacing petrol with electricity as thesource of power.
例4開頭段中，作者先在句(2)中提出一般的解決方法，然後在句(3)中提出自己不同幹普通人的建議。
(4)提出問題法：在開頭段中提出問題，吸引讀者的注意力，另外在首段中運用修辭問句(包括設問句和反問句)，還能起到一定的強調作用，例如：
例5
(1)Why do college graduates find it increasingly difficult to get a re—warding job?
(2)Are they not prepped enough?
(3)Maybe，they need more tipsfor job hunting.
例5開頭段中，句(1)用特殊疑問句引出社會現實，吸引了讀者注意力;句(2)爲設問句，自然引出句(3)主題。
