高考英语作文求助信模板(精品20篇)

英语试卷满分150分，作文25分，占试卷总分的六分之一，表面看来不是很多，但是这25分相对于其他题型却比较容易获得，因此作文的写作技巧和方法十分重要。

一、英语写作的重要性

1.英语写作有益于扩充词汇量

口语所使用的语言一般是比较简单和常用的。而在用英语写作时，所使用的语言则是多种多样的。从极简单到较复杂的语言都要使用，所使用的词汇和句型也比口语中使用的相对要多，这对英语词汇量的扩充有很大帮助。

2.英语写作训练有助于提高逻辑思考及分析能力

写一篇作文，不论长短，都需要妥善地组织材料，得出结论，作到重点突出，条理清楚。这样，在锻炼写作能力的同时，也锻炼了分析与处理问题的能力。

3.英语写作有助于提高使用英语的准确性

只要写一个句子，更不用说一段，一篇，就要力求拼写，用词，句法，标点等完全正确，而且与前后句紧密连贯。写和说不同，写好后可以检查修改，而一次修改就是一次提高。写得越多，语言使用就会越准确。

4.英语写作有助于阅读，听力，口语，翻译等能力的提高

自己知道写作的甘苦，对别人的写作技巧就会乐于学习。分析问题的能力提高了，听别人说话就会善于抓住要点。语言质量提高了，口语也会准确很多。

二、如何写好一篇英语作文

1.打好扎实的英语语言基础

要写好英语作文，首先必须掌握一定数量的英语单词。此外还得掌握好一定的英语语法知识。若有不太清楚的地方，应通过查阅语法书和词典来逐步解决，不能偷懒，随便乱写。

2.广泛进行英语阅读

专业作家的秘密之一就是：阅读，阅读，再阅读。阅读其他人的文章，并不是为了如法炮制，但我们可以把从其他作品中学到的东西融化到自己的文体和技巧中 去。当我们发现一段文章比自己能写出的任何东西好得多的时候，坐下来，对它进行反复研究琢磨。就同一题目，这位作者做了哪些我们不能做到的事情?模仿别人 技术上的长处，对写作来说极有益处。但仅靠阅读是不行的，因为它可以被用作不动笔的借口，还会成为一种医学专用剂。因此要记住：阅读是为了写作。

3.掌握一定的英语写作技巧

英语写作有许多技巧，如怎样选词，造句，怎样展开段落，各种体裁的英语作文应怎样布局谋篇等。只有对这些基本的写作技巧加以掌握，才能在英语写作时得心应手。

4.多观察多分析

写的时候首先考虑内容问题，问问自己写什么，并用英语来思考，那么在英语写作时，便不至于找不到话写。

5.多练习

常言道：Practice makes perfect.俗话亦说：文章读十篇，不如写一篇。大凡知名作家并不是一开始就写出了惊人之作。他们的作品都是在艰苦的写作实践中得到提高的。我们在学 习英语写作时也应多练，可采取写英文日记，周记，课文摘要等形式加以训练，也可找个writ—ing partner(写作伙伴)相互督促，相互学习，相互提高。

三、如何在重大考试中写好作文

1.合理分配时间

大学英语四六级短文写作题规定时间是30分钟，所以应首先保证写作时间。虽然写作题是考试的最后一题，但一定要确保写作题的时间不被其它题目挤占。然而 在多次四六级考试监考中，我们发现很多同学在前面部分花费太多时间，以致于只有十几分钟甚至几分钟来写作文，写的效果和得分情况可想而知。其实我们可以自 己拟订一个方案：首先，7分钟左右审题，构思，拟订提纲;其次，20分钟写作;最后，3分钟左右检查修改。

2.审题

审题是写作成功与否的重要因素之一。一定要留出约3分钟左右的时间审题，构思，打腹稿，“凡事预则立，不预则废。”然而不少考生由于没掌握好时间，一拿 到作文题，便匆匆下笔，没有构思，结果想到哪写到哪，往往离题千里，事倍功半。所以一定要在动笔之前花几分钟，认真审题，仔细寻找题目提供的信息(包括英 文，中文，图画，数字等)，然后对这些信息加以认真分析，弄清题意，确定中心思想。

3.拟写提纲

一般应试作文要围绕提纲，首先要明白提纲的作用，一是告诉你应写什么，二是为你的内容或思想规定写作顺序，三是告诉你每段的内容;四是帮助你自始至终紧密围绕规定的主题。在拟写提纲时，首先要定好文章分几段写，各段的中心是什么，要用什么细节才能说明所规定好的中心。

4.正式作文

在正式作文时，应按所列的提纲来进行。写作还应注意以下几点：首先，一定要下工夫写好每一段的主题句，尤其是第一段的主题句。A good beginning makes a good ending.主题句能否写好关系着阅卷人对你的作文的第一印象。高考作文是分档给分，即阅卷人根据总体印象给出某一档的分数，然后再在这一档上下进行微 调。其次，要尽量保持卷面整洁。因为作文是人工评卷，卷面干净整洁会给阅卷人很好的印象，对提高分数档次很有好处。然而很多考生不注意标点，语法及单词大 小写，经常写了又划，划了又写，从而使卷面很糟糕而影响得分。因此一定不要轻视卷面整洁这一点。第三，一定要写够字数。字数不够扣分是很严格的。但是也应 注意行文简明扼要，层次分明，切忌写一些与主题无关的话来凑字数。有的考生写得杂乱无章，篇幅过长，使阅卷人看得心烦，这也不可取。第四，一定要沉着应 战，保持平静的心理状态。不要因为作文是最后一题，离交卷时间近就不停看表，造成不必要的紧张。考试时良好的心理状态是正常发挥的必要保证。

总之，英语写作固然难，但由于其具有举足轻重的作用，所以我们应该给予重视。“功夫不负有心人”，相信只要我们树立必胜的信心，持之以恒地练习，就一定会取得成效。

From the picture, we can see a family of three walking on a long red carpet. One possible version:

From the picture we can see a family of three walking on a long red carpet.The son , well dressed, waves proudly in the middle while the father behind bends forward to hold the jacket and the mother in front rolls out the carpet, sweating.

It shows a common phenomenon nowadays that children are the focus of families, shouldering the hope of their parents. Parents arrange everything for their children and spare no effort to pave the way for their success. As a consequence, children become so reliant on their parents that they have no independent thought or creative ideas.

Such a situation is of great concern. In my opinion, overprotection and too much care are extremely bad for children’s development. Instead of doing everything for them, parents should encourage their children to overcome difficulties and inspire them to develop by themselves. Only in this way can they grow up to be independent and become truly successful.

从图片中我们可以看到一家三口一个长长的红地毯上行走。的儿子，衣冠楚楚，骄傲地飘扬在中间而父亲后边向前弯曲，把夹克的母亲前推出的地毯，出汗。

它显示了一个普遍的现象，孩子是家庭的焦点，肩负着父母的希望。父母为子女安排一切，不遗余力为他们的成功铺平道路。因此，孩子们变得如此依赖父母，他们没有独立的思想和创造性的想法。

这种情况是非常关注的。在我看来，过度保护和过多的关心孩子的发展是非常糟糕的。家长应鼓励孩子克服困难，鼓励他们发展自己，而不是为他们做所有的事。只有这样，他们才能成长为独立，并成为真正的成功。

As world leaders are in Copenhagen (哥本哈根)this month，talks about climate change are gathering steam. But is climate change the most pressing threat(威胁)for mankind?

Write an essay to show your opinions on the most immediate threat for mankind.

Directions：

1. About 200 words

2. Support your position with reasoning and examples.

3. Give the essay a proper title by yourself

Love Makes Beauty

With the fantastic spur both in industry and economy，the past 100 years has seen how modernization and civilization has affected mankind. Recently，Copenhagen is being a focus for its Climate Change Conference. A majority of people hold the belief that climate change is the pressing threat for mankind.

However，acknowledging the great abundance of harms that the changing climate will bring，I‘d say the most immediate threat is just ourselves. I always imagine a view of life filled with fresh air and various flowers swung in gentle wind. But the reality shows this is a real fantasy. With the fantastically developing industry and the rising number of personal cars，not only the air but also the water is at risk universally. For example，what used to be a pride for Ruianees was Tang River，the clean and clear mother river of Ruian. But with time going by，it was seriously polluted and gradually turned into the biggest block of development. What upsets us most is that such a situation is spreading countryside. It seems that citizens on the earth care little about their land，which directly causes further consequences.

How can we deal with environmental problems?There is no doubt that this topic is complicated and unstable as well. But the irreplaceable way，in my thought，is love，love for the earth. It is love that makes beauty，and nothing else will do.

Some say love is a river that drowns the tender reed;some say love is a hunger，an endless，aching need. I say love is a flower，and you，are the only seed.

Heal the world

Nowadays，world leaders are in Copenhagen talking about climate change. Who has such a strong power to gather them from busy work?It‘s our mother——the Earth that has told her kids to start to heal the environment for the pressing threats they are facing now.

It‘s commonly thought that lots of countries are blind to the protection of environment while developing the country. And as the quality of life has developed，many families have its own car. As a result，more and more CO2 has caused the earth to be a “Green House”。If no measure is taken，a large number of kids won’t see the lovely and beautiful snow in winter before long.

To my delight，some people have been concerned about the environment. The movie >is just a good example. It took me 150 minutes to watch the movie. At the same time，I spent a long time considering the meaning which the movie wants to tell people. When the world is at an end，can anyone heal themselves?It‘s obvious that the answer is No. It’s commonly accepted that what the director wants to tell people is that we should take measures to beautify the environment at once or we‘ll die soon.

In a word，the environment pollution is a matter of life and death——a matter no country can afford to ignore. People all over the world are supposed to spare no effort to heal the world. Let‘s take action from here and now!

What Lessons Should Be Learned From the Drought

The drought in the south-west China has lasts for several months, which makes people face water and food scarcity. We should learn lessons from it.

The drought can be cause by several factors. Firstly, about 63 percent of cities in China are facing water scarcity. The situation is worsened by pollution and industrialization. In addition, too many trees have been cut down, so forest coverage has been decreasing rapidly. Whats more, some water conservation projects havent been functioning properly, thus people there have had to rely more heavily on rainfall for their water supply. Most of Chinas irrigation systems are very old.

In order to prevent this case coming about again, we should improve our awareness of saving water, making proper use of water and recycling water. Meanwhile, we ought to plant more trees and protect environment to prevent loss of water and soil erosion. Of course, the governments should increase investment and repair water conservation projects as timely as possible.

Last week I saw a young man giving up his seat to a woman with a baby in her arms on a bus. To my great surprise, the woman did not thank the young man; on the contrary, she glared at him coldly, which made him embarrassed.

This incident set me thinking. If everyone acted like that woman, who would like to help others? And what would our society be like?

If anyone gives you a hand, you should express your sincere gratitude to him or her. Only in this way will everyone be ready to help others and feel satisfied with it.

【参考译文】

上周，我在公共汽车上看到一个年轻人给一个怀抱婴儿的妇女让座。让我感到奇怪的是，这位妇女没有感谢这位年轻人，反而用冷淡的目光盯着他，使他感到困窘。

这事令我深思。如果每个人都像那个妇女那样，谁还愿意帮助别人?我们这个社会将会变成什么样子?

如果有人帮了你，你应表示衷心感谢。只有这样，大家才会愿意帮助别人，并从中得到满足。

Water

Water is very important for living things. Without water there can be no life on earth. All animals and plants need water. Man also needs water.

Water is found atmosteverywhere. Even in the driest part of the world there is some water in the air.

As we all have found out, water may be a solid, or a liquid or a gas.When it isa solid, it may be as hard as brick, When itis a liquid, you can pour it out of a container. When it is a gas, you cannot see or feel it.

Although about 70 percent of the earths surface is covered with water,there are many places in the world still running out of water. So we should make good use of water on earth.

译文：

水对生物很重要，没有水，地球上就没有生命。所有的动植物都需要水。人类也需要水。

水几乎无处不在。即使在世界上最干燥的地方，空气中也有水。

水，正如你所了解的，有固态、液态和气态。当它是固态时，它可以像砖一样硬；当它是液态时，你可以将它从容器中倒出；当它是气态时，你看不见或感觉不到它。

虽然地球表面70％是水覆盖着，世界上仍有许多地方缺水。所以我们要好好利用地球上的水。

We should say that every coin has its two sides. So it is with surfing on line.

我们应该说，每个硬币都有两面。所以这是与网上冲浪。

Generally speaking, students will benefit a lot from Internet. People can get lots of useful information through the Internet quickly ,no matter it is national or throughout the world. We can also listen to the music and chat with the friends far away.The most important of all is that we can search many foreigners who speak English as their native languge, which can help us improve our Enlish rapidly.We can send Email to our good friends in a few seconds---with the internet your friend dont need to wait for so long time as receiving a letter as before.

A teacher just likes a shining star to students. Miss Fu, one of my English teacher, is a shining star in my life.

I happened to be in Miss Fus class when I began my high school years. At that time, I dared not speak English aloud in public, for I was shy and my pronunciation and intonation were poor. Afraid of being laughed at, I never put up my hand to answer the questions Miss Fu raised in class, even if I had some good answers to them. For a time, I even lost interest in practising spoken English. When Miss Fu found out the reason, she encouraged me to speak. First she bought me some English tapes and told me to listen to them carefully, and try to recite them. In class, I was often asked questions and given a lot of chances to practise speaking.Little by little, I became brave enough to speak, and was not afraid to speak English before others. Miss Fu smiled sweetly when she heard the news that I had been chosen to take part in an important oral English contest.

Whenever I look at the stars in the sky, I recognize the brightest one ---- the symbol of Miss Fu in my heart. Miss Fu will always be a shining star in my life!

“英语说明文”，顾名思义，就是一种以“说明、解释”为主要表达方式的英语文体。它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等等做科学解说的。它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写，也不像议论文那样，重在阐明主张和论点论据；更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理，使人们增长知识和技能。说明文是高考英语阅读理解题中的重点内容之一。说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法，因此说明文结构复杂，专业术语多，易于拉开考生分数档次，便于高校分层次选拔人才。然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高，解题难度增大了。高考对说明文的考查多为科普知识，动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文，文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点，叙述方式，以冷静的心态阅读原文，重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系，以便对其做出准确的语意理解。

一、说明文阅读理解的特征 一般说来，英语说明文与其它文体一样，文章所涉及的内容不外乎以下几个方面，即Who→What→When→Where→How→Why。

1. Who：问的是这篇文章的主体是谁？（即所要说明和描述的人或事物）

2. What：问的是主体做了什么事情？（即主体表现出的特性、功能和用途）

3. When和Where：是在何时何地发生的？（即何时何地所表现出的特性、功能和用途）

4. How：通过什么方式表现出来的？

5. Why：这种特性功能用途的原因是什么？

做说明文阅读阅读的时候，一定要记住上面的Wh-word。边阅读，边搜记，牢记要点，把握全文。

二．说明文阅读理解的类型 掌握说明文阅读理解题的类型对考生来说非常有必要。一般来说，高考对阅读理解的命题类型主要有以下几种：

1. 细节理解题

说明文中考查的细节理解题大致与记叙文相似。命题区域都有其共同点。⑴在列举处命题。如用First(1y)、Second(1y)、Third(1y)Finally、not only…but also、then、in addition等表示顺承关系的词语列举出事实。试题要求考生从列举出的内容中选出符合题干要求的答案项。⑵在例证处命题。句中常用由as、such as、for example、for instance等引导的短语或句子作为例证，这些例句或比喻就成为命题者设问的焦点。⑶在转折对比处命题。一般通过however、but、yet、in fact等词语来引导。对比用unlike、until、not so much…as等词语引导，命题者常对用来对比的双方属性进行考查。⑷在比较处命题。无端的比较、

相反的比较、偷换对象的比较，经常出现在干扰项中，考生要标记并且关注到原文中的比较，才能顺利地排除干扰。⑸在复杂句中命题。包括同位词、插入语、定语、从句、不定式等，命题者主要考查考生对句子之间的指代关系和语法关系。

细节类问题一般都能在原文中找到出处，只要仔细就可以在文中找到答案。但正确的选择项不可能与阅读材料的原文完全相同，而是用不同的语句成句型表达相同的意思。

2. 语义猜测题 说明文为了把自然规律，事物的性质等介绍清楚或把事理阐述明白，因此学术性强的生词较多，所以常进行生词词义判断题的考查。命题方式多以The underlined part “…” in Paragraph…refers to….或What does the underlined word mean?或What is the meaning of the underlined word?为设问方式。解题时考生应认真阅读原文，分析其对某些科学原理是如何定义、如何解释的，并以此为突破口抽象概括出生词词义。也可以通过上下文来猜测某个陌生词语的语意。或者找出某个词语在文章中的同义词。要注意破折号、同位语从句、定语从句、插入句等具有解释、说明作用的语言成分。说明文在阐述说明对象时易发生动作变换、人称转变的现象，这类题目常以 it，they，them 等代词为命题点，因此考生要根据上下文语境，认真阅读原文，分析动作转换背景，弄清动作不同执行者，以便准确判断代词的其实际指代对象。

3. 主旨理解题

说明文常用文章大意判断题考查考生对通篇文意的理解。即对文章的主题或中心意思的概括和归纳。主要考查考生对文章的整体理解能力。命题形式常以This passage mainly talks about ____.What is the main idea of the passage?为设问方式。这种试题多以This passage mainly talks about the major

surprising findings about….为回答方法。答题时首先阅读题干，掌握问题的类型，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。

4. 判断推理题。

这种试题常以The passage is intended to...(2) The author suggests that...(3) The story implies that…(4) Which point of view may the author agree to?(5) From the passage we can conclude that...(6) The purpose of the passage is to...为设问方式。这种题型的答案在原文中不是直接就能找到的，它要求考生进行合理的推断。如因果关系，文中的某些用词、语气也往往具有隐含意义，考生要将这种含义读出来。说明文常出现图示判断题，这种试题可以事物之间正确的依赖关系为命题点，要求考生判断其正确的流程顺序相互关系等。考生一定要认真阅读原文，并对照原文介绍的情况，弄清图示的差异，根据题干需要最终做出正确判断。如：动物介绍性说明文常出现动物能力判断题，考查考生对特定动物所具有能力的判断。解题时考生应认真阅读原文对动物形态活动能力的判断，了解动物的生存环境和是否会使用工具，是否善于爬行、飞翔和游泳等。

观点态度题也是判断推理题考查的内容之一。说明文的对象为客观事实,但设题以议论的表达方式抒发对该说明对象的想法。如对某种新发明的赞赏,或对某个事物的批判。这类题目常见的题干表达方式有"What was the author?s attitude towards ...?" 等。

【猜题理由】2010年高考写作题应该是学生较为熟悉的、身边的与他们生活、学习密切相关的话题。因为高考有一定的连续性，2010年有些省份仍可能采用应用文进行考查。

【构思点拨】本题属于提纲式要点作文，要求学生就所给内容写一张留言条，是学生比较熟悉的题材，体现了英语学习应该注意实用性，生活化的原则。应注意下面几点： (1)注意人称，应该用第一人称的形式给同学李明(第二人称)写便条：(2)注意时态的正确使用：从试题的内容上可以看出在表达要点上应用将来时;(3)注意恰当使用逻辑词语，是各个要点间逻辑连贯，行文通顺。提纲类书面表达不是简单的逐条翻译，而是将所给的几个要点合理的组成比较通顺的语句，因此要仔细组织语言，合理安排结构。在语言方面，要特别注意简洁明了，开门见山。

due to darwins "evolution", man, willingly or not, has to admit that he is not descendents of adam and eve but rather a species equal to the monkeys, the cats and dogs in nature. although human beings claim to be the most sapient species, it is undeniable that they have a close kinship with the chimpanzees.in a word, we are animals, though more advantageous in mind than our wild or domesticated fellow living beings. but, is this a privilege of human beings to dominate the destinies of other spedes? sorrowfully, some people disregard the natural diversity and many species are in the danger of etinction due to human activities. no longer can the righteous people look on withouttaking an action.

human beings have always overrated themselves in that they assume they are superior creatures whose destiny is granted by god. in the early times, nature was antithetical to human activities. no longer can the righteous people look on without taking an action.

human beings have always overrated themselves in that they assume they are superior creatures whose destiny is granted by god. in the early times, nature was antithetical to human cultures. people set out to conquer nature: they plowed the soil for grains to feed themselves; they fought against storms and tornadoes to safeguard their properties; they made use of tools to eploit natural resources. this struggle against nature precludes the understanding that nature is so generous to humans and it is harmony rather than conflict that has made human lives so comfortable. if the ancestors had not found ways to cope with natural disasters and bucked up again and again in face of peril, it would have been likely that human race might have gone etinct on the way of evolution.however, as human beings get more and more used to the development in their own societies, they,on the contrary, contribute to a nature that is increasingly dissonant and hostile, where other co-eisting species are on the edge of etinction.

it is not the natural evolution, like the glaciers, that caused many species to disappear. it is human activities that is to beblamed. deforestation deprives many bird colonies of their habitat. water pollution destroys the natural environment of aquatic animals. unimaginable numbers of species have to migrate and in search of new habitat, and they die. gulls and other seabirds stranded in the crude oil from ships could not fly to collect food,they die. when furs and hides of cheetahs, rhinos, and crocodiles are sold at good prices on the international market, they die. the prosperity of human society is bloodily indebted to lives of other plants and animal species, yet human beings keep from saving the animals and plants. the money spent on protection of endangered species is money spent worthwhile. so is the effort and time. just imagine one day another intelligent species wearing the leather of human skin.

in the history of human civilization, people have always relied on nature to achieve something of value. fundamentally, we breathe the oygen released by the plants; we enjoy the ravishing beauty of nature in our arts;we even rely on animals to produce eperimental evidence in developing medicines. we owe too much to the plants and animals. it is high time that we did something to prevent the world from becoming a drab and colorless planet, with only the human species living in sheer loneliness.

My Dear Mrs. Ryan

Its with the most profound sense of joy

That I write to inform you your son ,

Private James Ryan ,

Is well and , at this very moment ,

On his way home from European battlefields .

Reports from the front indicate James did his duty in combat

With great courage and steadfast dedication

Even after he was informed of the tragic loss

Your family has suffered in this great campaign

To rid the world of tyranny and oppression .

I take great pleasure in joining the secretary of war ,

The men and women of the United States Army ,

And the citizens of a grateful nation

In wishing you good health and many years of happiness

with James at your side .

Nothing ,

Not even the safe return of a beloved son ,

Can compensate you

Or the thousands of other American families

Who have suffered great loss in this tragic war .

And I might share with you some words

Which have sustained me

Through long , dark nights

Of peril , loss and heartache .

And I quote ,

I pray that our Heavenly Father

May assuage the anguish of your bereavement

And leave you only the cherished memory

Of the loved and lost

And the solemn pride that must be yours

To have laid so costly a sacrifice

Upon the altar of freedom

Abraham Lincoln

Yours very sincerely and respectfully ,

George C . Marshall , General , Chief Of Staff.

我很荣幸的，以最高统帅和全军将士，以及对您充满感激之情的全国人民的名义

Hi Sharon,

This is Li Xia. I learned from your post that you want to improve your Mandarin. I feel honored to have the chance to help you with your Mandarin learning and I am very happy to have you as my English teacher. Im good at speaking standard Mandarin. Ive been a broadcaster in the school’s broadcasting station for years. When it comes to how to speak fluent Mandarin, I suggest that you learn a bunch of pronunciation rules first, which are quite different from the English ones. Another suggestion is to practice speaking. As the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect”. However, my English is just OK and I have many problems with my study. I really hope that you can give me good advice on how to study English well. I believe we both can make much progress with each others’ help.

Thank you!

Li Xia
