1.层次分明,说理清楚,语言流畅,内容充实。一篇较差的作文表现为:1.文章不通顺,无段落,无结构,无明显主题;2.出现很多基本语法错误和拼写错误;3.词汇量很小,词不达意,缺乏英语表达能力;4.不像一篇文章,仅是把一些不连贯的词语凑到一起。文章解析(1)Inthepastfiveyears,therehavebeenchangesinpeople’sdiet.Grain,asthemainfoodofmostChinese,isnowplayingalessimportantroleinpeople’sdiet,whiletheproportionofsomehigh-energyfood,suchasmilk,meathasincreased.Whatcausedthesechanges?Ithinktherearetworeasons.First,peoplenowhavemoremoney.Thepriceofmeatandmilkismuchhigherthanthatofgrain.Intheolddays,peoplecouldn’taffordthem.Nowtheyhaveenoughmoneytobutmeatandmilk.Second,peopleofnowadayspaymoreattentiontothestructureoftheirdiet.Theyareseekingthemostreasonabledietstructurewhichwilldogoodtotheirhealth.Inshort,therehavebeenchangesinpeople’sdietinthepastfiveyearsandtherewillbechangesinthefuture,too.(2)Inthepastfiveyearspeople’sdiethadchangedquitealot.Thegrainwasnolongerthemainfoodofpeople’sdiet.Itdecreasedfrom49%to45%.Andthepossessionofthefruitandvegetableswasdeclined,either.But,however,thenecessaryofthemilkandmeatwasincreasedwithnodoubt.Suchcaseownedtotworeasons.Ontheonehand,thelevelofpeople’sliveshadgreatlyadvanced.Moreandmorepeoplecouldaffordtheexpensivefood.Ontheotherhand,modernsciencehadbeendevelopedwithhighspeed.Thenpeoplebegantobeawareofchoosingmoreusefulfood.Withthedevelopingofthesociety,people’sdietwillchangemoregreatly.(3)Dietisveryimportantinpeople’slife.Inpastfive,thereisabigchangeinallkindsoffood.Forexample,Grain.In1986ittakes40percentinDietinafterfouryears.Itdiscrease4percentindiet;Milkincrease3percentinlastfiveyears.Itgrowsto13percentinDiet;Meatin1986-1989,itkepttogrowup.Anin1990,itdown2percent;Fruitandvegetablesisdiscreaseinlastfiveyears.Whyitwillhavethesechanges.Itistwoside,thefirstispeoplebegantoseethatMilk.Meat.FruitandVegetableareveryimportanceinpeople’sbodies,theotherispeople’slifeisquitegood.TheyhaveenoughmoneytobuyMeat,Milk,Etc.Theyknowhowtobuildthembodies.Inlastfiveyears.Bigchangesinpeople’sDiet.Itcallusmoreandmorepeopleknow.SharethemDietandbuildthembodies.三、写作要领16 1、审题构思,在获取一个文章题目后,首先根据题目要求进行思维联想,分析题目表达的主要内容和主旨。2、谋篇构段,草拟提纲。通过分析题目的内容和主旨,将大脑中形成的信息、资料,分类整理,列出写作提纲、主题句,进行文章段落的筹划(三段作文法)3、组段成篇,初步成文。将以上的构思内容、提纲、相关主题句,通过句子扩展,初步整理形成一篇草稿文字。4、加工修改,润色定稿。对文章草稿修改润色,以加强文章的说明力及感染力。请看下面的例子:DIRECTIONS:A.Title:DevelopWesternRegionsB.TimeLimit:50minutesC.WordLimit:nolessthan200words(notincludingthegivensentence)D.YourcompositionshouldbebasedontheOUTLINEbelowE.YourcompositionmustbewrittenclearlyontheANSWERSHEETOUTLINE:1.Thesignificanceandimportanceofdevelopingwestregions2.Thecauseofitsunderdevelopmentandthepresentsituations3.TheprospectsoftheWestChina成文:DevelopWesternRegionsThelargescaledevelopmentofWestChinaisofprofoundsignificance.First,itwillopenabroaddevelopmentspaceforcentralandeasternregions.Besides,it’scriticaltoChina’soveralleconomicrise.What’smore,it’stheonlyeffectivewaytodecreasetheimbalanceofeconomicdevelopmentintheeaseandwestsoastorevitalizeournation.Therearevariousreasonswhythelandlockedwesthaslaggedbehindinitseconomicdevelopment.Thechiefreason,Ithink,isthattheopeninguppoliciesenabletheeasttoluremoreforeigncapitalandmakeafantasticspurinitsdevelopment.Asaresult,itleavesthewestfarbehindinitseconomicgrowth.Inaddition,thewest’suniqueunfavorablegeographicpositionsgreatlylimititsdevelopment.Therefore,thegapsbetweenthewestandtheeasthavebeenwidenedsinceChina’sreform.Infact,manyregionsinthewestwillstillremaincomparativelyunderdeveloped.Toillustrate,mostofthe30millionpoorpopulations,whostillhavesubsistenceproblems,livethere.Moreover,currentlythepercapitalGDPinWestChinaisonlyabout60%ofnationalaverage.AndthevastWestChinamakeslesscontributiontothenation’sdevelopment.Ifleftunchanged,theunderdevelopmentinthewestwillgreatlyaffectoverallprosperityandevensocialstability.However,thewesternregiondevelopmentisalong-termsystematicproject.Itcallsfortremendouseffortofseveralgenerations.Tosumup,ourchiefgoalistobuildWestChinawitheconomicprosperity,socialprogress,politicalstabilityandbeautifullandscape.Finally,Ibelievethewestwillcatchupwiththeeastinitseconomicdevelopmentinthenearfuture.(269Words)课后练习列出下列作文题目的提纲:1、DevelopOurCreativeMind2、ScienceandSuperstition3、DoClothesMakeaMan?16

1、演绎法将主题句放在段首。开门见山推出文章主题,使读者对文章将要讨论的内容一目了然,然后列举文章所要讨论的细节。这些细节排列决定了文章的正文内容的安排,这符合人类从概念到具体的思维方式。引言段:Englishisamongthemostdifficultsubjectstolearn.First,EnglishpronunciationisquitedifferentfromthatofChinese.Second,ithasalargevocabulary.Finally,idiomsarereallytroublesome.Theyareusuallynotgrammatical,andeveniftheyaregrammatical,wemayfailtoarriveattheirmeanings.2、归纳法由一般性的背景介绍逐步过渡到文章主题句。这种安排符合人们从具体到概念的思维习惯,也就是从感性到理性的认识规律。引言段:Withallthewealth,power,healthstandard,luxuriesoflife,andtheabundanceoffoodintheUnitedStates,itmightbesurprisingtomostpeoplethatAmericanrankonlysixthintheworldinlongevityoflife.Therearemanyreasonsforthislowrecord,butthemainonehassomethingtodowithAmerican’seatinghabit.3、设问法即提出问题来引出文章主题,以吸引读者注意力。引言段:Areyouafraidofhighplacesorwater?Ifso,yousufferfromoneofthemostcommonphobias,whicharestrong,persistent,butunreasonablefears.Thefearofhighplaces(Acrophobia)andwater(Hydrophobia)areonlytwoofthemorethansevenhundredphobiasclassifiedbypsychologists.4、引用名言即摘录或引用格言、名句或谚语作为文章开头。引言段:Thegoodoldproverb,“Romewasnotbuiltinaday”remindsusthatgreatthingsareneverdonewithoutmuchtimeandlabor.Roma,thecapitalofthegreatestempireinhistoryandoneofthemostadvancedcitiesnowadays,indeedwasbuiltthroughthelaborofmanygreatmenwhohadstrivedagainstdifficulties.5、定义法当所论述的主题的基本概念比较抽象或读者不太熟悉时,通常用定义法做必要的解释说明。引言段:Intelligencereferstoaman’sabilitytounderstandandlearn.Itmayvaryfrompersontoperson.Somepeoplemaybecomemoreintelligentwhileothersmaybeless.6、数据列举醒目的数据或资料来引起读者的注意,然后进入主题。在图表作文中常常引用数据作为文章的开头。引言段:Thetwographsshowthedailywaterintakeandoutputwhicheachtotalsabout2500CC.课后练习按要求写出下列作文题的引言段:1、题目:Teenagesmokingsoars(归纳法)提纲:A、近年来青少年吸烟人数剧增。B、造成这种情况的主要原因是……C、结论。2、题目:TheimportanceofTelephone(演绎法)16 Outline:A、Telephoneisoneofthemostcommonmeansofcommunication.B、Therearemanyadvantagesoftelephone.C、However,telephonehassomedisadvantage.第四单元结尾段的写作文章的结尾段与引言段同样重要。引言段是文章主题的提要,结尾段则是对文章的归纳和总结。它可再次吸引读者并给读者留下深刻印象。结尾段的写作方式也取决于文章的类型,常见的结尾段的写作方法有以下几种:1、重申主题重申主题,即再次强调和肯定文章引言段中阐述的中心思想,是一种极为普遍的结尾方式。结尾段:Thereisenoughevidenceshowinghowinvalidthecertificateisinevaluatingtheoverallabilitiesandqualitiesofanapplicantandtherefore,weshouldconsidermanyotherfacetsofanapplicant’squalificationsratherthanfeelingsatisfiedwithjustthepapercertificate.2、归纳文章要点,加深读者印象即将前面各段中所讨论的内容缩写、归纳和整理,进一步肯定文章的中心思想或作者的观点。结尾段:Inmyopinion,abalanceofthesetwokindsofactivitiesmightbemoreusefultothosewholiveinretirement.Inotherwords,physicalactivitiesarenecessaryforgoodhealthbutintellectualrecreationprovidesthemostpleasure.3、提出建议,提出解决方法这种方法特别适合用于讨论问题的文章,比如对某事的原因或结果的分析,提出建议或解决方法。结尾段:Onthewhole,asapernicioushobby,smokingwilldoyoumoreharmthangood.Foryourownhealth,pleasekeepawayfromsmoking.4、展望未来即在文章结尾处表示对未来的期望或号召读者采取行动。结尾段:However,itmaybethatwestillhavealongwaytogobeforewehaveaclearworld.Nearlyallofthecountriesaretryinghardtopreventandcontrolairpollution.Thereindeedseemstobenoendtotasksthatenvironmentalistswillberequiredtodo.Peoplewillcontinuallyfindnewwaystocontrolpollution.5、引用格言、谚语或习语总结全文结尾段:NotuntilthendidIunderstandthemeaningoftheproverb,“Helpingothersisthesourceofhappiness.”6、提出问题,无须回答即形式为问句,而意义是肯定的,具有很明显的强调作用,发人深思。结尾段:Inspiteofwhatwehear,tothecontrary,moderndoctorsdeservethemoneytheyearn.Ifweconsiderthecostandtimeofyearsofschoolingtheymustcoopwith,thetimerequiredasaninterndoctor,thecostofequipmenttheymustpurchase,andthelonghoursspentintheiroffices,isitappropriatetheybepaidwellfortheirtime,knowledgeandskills?课后练习用指定方式完成下列结尾段:1、提出建议:16 Therefore,tocontrolpopulationgrowthmorestrictlyisclearlyessentialtothecountry’sreformsandeconomicdevelopment.Weshould________________________________________________________________________________________.2、提出问题:Therefore,listeningandspokenEnglishabilitiesmustbeconsciouslyimproved.Sincethetwoabilitiesaresuchimportantmeansoflearningandcommunication,why_________________________________________________________________________.3、引语:Laterrisersmayfinditveryhardtogetintothehabitofearlyrising.Theyoughttomakespecialefforttodoso.AstheEnglishproverbsays,“____________________________________________________________________________.4、展望未来:Oncemastered,Englishisusefulinmanyways.YoucanreadEnglishbooksandotherpublications;youcantalktoanativespeaker;youcanwritealettertoyourfriend,etc.YoucanevenpayavisittoFranceorRussiaeventhoughyoudon’tknowFrenchorRussian,sinceEnglish_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.第五单元写作词语运用技巧段落清楚、句子结构准确和用词得当是高分作文的关键。而写好段落和文章的重要标志就是能否有效地应用词汇来扩展句子。因此词汇是写作的技巧。一般来说词语层次上应掌握以下技巧:一、用词要凝练简洁凝练简洁不是说要避免写长句子,而是要在清楚表达意思的同时砍掉那些不必要的词。即凝练简洁不在于句子的长短而取决于是否高效地应用文字来清楚说明问题,使文章通俗易懂。因此,写作时要避免华而不实的词。比较下列句子:(1)、(a)、Thesecongressesareanidealopportunityforthepresentationofthelatestdevelopmentandthepromotionofthenewproductsandservicesonthemarket.(b)、Thesecongressesareanidealopportunityforpresentingthelatestdevelopmentandpromotingthenewproductsandservicesonthemarket.(2)、(a)、Thereductionofmembershipfeesforallpartnerswillbecomearealitynextyear.(b)、Membershipfeeswillbereducedforallpartnersnextyear.(3)、(a)、Theintensificationofoureffortsduringtheyearisfortheimprovementofouroverallcommunication.(b)、Weintensifiedoureffortsduringtheyeartoimproveouroverallcommunication.16 (4)、(a)、Thereisoften15or30minutestobesavedbytakingonerouteratherthananothertoreachthesamedestination.(b)、Often15or30minutescanbesavedbytakingonerouteratherthananothertoreachthesamedestination.二、恰当运用介词英语中的介词远比中文介词数量多,用途广,而且能和动词构成多种多样的词组。下面看几个句子:AletterwassenttoBob.AletterwassentfromBob.AletterwassentforBob.AletterwassentbyBob.变了一个介词就变了整个句子的意思。所以介词及其短语一向是英语学习的重点。三、巧用短语和词组除了用词不准确之外,有的同学由于词组欠缺,使其文章句子呆板。相反,要想提高写作质量,就必须扩大词组量。四、熟练运用逻辑连接词语先后次序关系First,Second,…atlastTostartwithNextEventuallyAfterwardsAtlastbutnottheleastToendwithFinallySeeing….SincethenTobeginwithFirstofall原因、结果关系AsaresultHenceBecauseofthisOnaccountofSo…BeingthatDuetoAsaresultof…BecauseSinceInthat…Sothat…Forthisreason…andso…AsConsequentlyOwingto…Thereareabout…ForThusInviewofThereforeAsaconsequenceInconsequenceAnotherimportantfactorof…Forthereasonthat…转折关系IndependentEventhoughEvensoBut16

套路一:Whenwe/you……,we/youwillbefacedwiththechoicebetweenAandB.Beforemakingtherightchoice,we/youhadbettermakeaclosecomparisonandcontrastofthem.Firstofall,A……Also,B……Second,A……Likewise,B……Despitetheirsimilarities,AandBarealsodifferentinthefollowingaspects.First,A……However,B……Besides,A……Onthecontrary,B……Therefore,itdependswhich……we/youshouldchoose.Ifwe/you……,we/youshouldchooseA;butifwe/you……,we/youshouldturntoB.套路二:Whenwe……,itisinevitabletomeetthechoicebetweenAandB.Weshouldberegardedasinconsiderateifwerushedourdecisionwithoutcomparingorcontrastingthem.First/Firstofall/Tobeginwith,bothAandB……A……However,B……Besides/Moreover/Inaddition/What’smore,A……However/Incontrast/Onthecontrary/Ontheotherhand,……Finally,themoststrikingdifferenceisthatA……whileB……Therefore,itisnotdifficulttomakearightchoicenow.Ifwe……wewillchooseA;butifwe……wewillturntoB.Inaword,thekeyliesin……(五)、Why…题型有因必有果,有果必有因。考试考原因的也很多。比如“为什么自行车在中国这么普及”,“我为什么参加这份工作”等等。要说明原因或理由,可用如下两种套路的任何一种。套路一:……Therearemanyreasons/causesfor……,Butingeneral,theycomedowntothreemajorones.Foronething,……Foranother,……Perhapstheprimereason/causeisthat……Fromtheforegoing,…….套路二:Therearemanyfactorsthatmayaccountfor/contributeto/responsibleforthereasonwhy……,butthefollowingarethemosttypicalones.First,……Besides/Furthermore/Moreover/Inaddition/What’smore,……Mostimportantofall/Aboveall,……Allinall/Inconclusion,……(六)、套路综合应用套路帮助学生写好一种题材的文章,但这并不等于说一种套路只限于一种题材的作文。在实际写作中,我们可以把套路中的句型运用到不同的写作中去,即套路综合应用。MyViewonLayingoffTherehassprungupaheateddiscussionastowhetherornotlaying-offdoessocietygood.Manypeopletakeitforgrantedthatitisharmfultosocietythataswellingnumberofpeoplelaidofwillgiverisetotheincreasingnumberofcrimesbecausetheyareeagerformoneyandevensomewillcommitsuicidethinking16
