篇6:初中英语写作的基础
全文共 1540 字
+ 加入清单一、找到学生写作中存在的问题
1.汉语思维的影响。学生在写作中经常用汉语思维,忽略了英汉语序之间是有差别的,导致出现了大量的式英语,尽管洋洋洒洒一大篇,却没有得分点。
2.词或词组的用法及搭配出现错误。如enjoy,finish等单词后面只能接v-ing形式;“forget to do”和“forget doing”在意思上存在着显著的差异等。学生在做选择题或用所给词的适当形式填空时,大多数学生能做对,但在作文中,学生往往忽略了其用法,出现了不必要的错误。
3.时态、语态的构成及使用错误。例如,一般过去时的否定句中,助动词didn’t后的动词用原形,而完成时的句子中往往用动词的过去分词,在这方面,学生的拼写容易出现错误。
4.单词的拼写错误,标点使用不当,不注意大小写,遗漏冠词,介词的误用等。
5.结构松散。关联词的使用可使上下句和段落合理衔接,承上启下,使表达合乎逻辑,同时使文章结构严谨、紧凑,部分考生的作文虽然内容和语言还不错,但是由于过于执着于表格所给内容的顺序,没有进行灵活的处理,整篇文章看起来就象是句子翻译,并且句与句之间关系松懈,缺乏连接,以至于文章毫无流畅、优美之感。
二、如何培养学生英语写作能力
1.从单词入手。单词是英语学习的基础,单词过不了关,写作就无从谈起,因为单词是写作的基本单位。但是单词记忆又是学生学习英语的最薄弱环节,因此我们必须时刻告诫学生,单词的学习过程,实际上就是人与遗忘作斗争的过程,要长期坚持下去。 志和必胜的信心。
2.由“句式”到“段落”的训练阶段。从七年级开始就对学生进行书写小段落的训练,做到口笔同步。随着教学的不断深入,写作内容也不断丰富,八年级就要注意段落中的时态差异、句型变化以及过渡句的使用等。到了九年级就要注意文章的体裁、格式、写作方法、复句的正确性以及中外文化的差异性。
3.课前几分钟进行Free Talk。学生可以准备谜语、笑话、小故事、即兴演讲等。之后向听的学生进行提问,其他学生只有认真听才能回答出问题。Free Talk为学生提供了很好的实践机会。
4.在课堂上,我们要注重听说的训练,给学生提供大量的口语练习材料,从句子到对话,从对话到文章,以培养学生的语感。同时,加强写的训练,利用所学的句型大量翻译句子,使学生能够真正做到举一反三。此外,还要让学生在练习时注意区分英汉语序的不同。
5.要求学生多写多练。教师按照每个单元呈现的重点内容为学生规定文题或写作范围,指导学生写一些代表性的文章,并结合学生比较优秀的作文进行讲评,取其精华,去其糟粕,完成一篇优秀的范文。使学生在讲评的过程中领略这些文章的优缺点,教会学生如何自己修改作文,并将范文抄写在固定的作文本上,不断积累,并随知识的不断扩展对已写的文章根据需要不断进行修改或扩充,使其更加完美。
6.加强背诵。看了好文章,不单是理解就够了,还应该在理解的基础上多多背诵,才能达到融会贯通、据为已有的效果。英语宜多诵多背,把一些句型、短语,一些文章的片段或全篇,背得滚瓜烂熟,让这些材料在你的脑袋里扎根,当你要用的时候,它们便会而然地冒出来。背诵可以培养正确使用语言的习惯,增强语感,这样就可以避免生搬硬套地写一些式的。加强背诵能变难为易,变费力为省力,能有效地帮助学生提高写作能力。现在背诵和熟记一些语言材料,对中学生来说将会受用无穷。
7.通过缩写和改写课文,培养学生的概括能力。缩写课文会激励学生去认真钻研课文内容,有助于加深学生对课文的理解,提高学生归纳和进行简要表达的能力。缩写课文一般应该用自己的话来写,不能只停留在拼凑原文的词句上。这样既可以使学生熟练掌握英语表达方法,也是对知识进行再创造的一个过程。

篇8:初中英语作文写作技巧精选
全文共 1003 字
+ 加入清单要点:实际上中考英语写作就等于两个字,翻译!因为中考英语写作一般会给出几个要点,要求必须在文章中有所体现。文章写的再好,只要缺少要点就会扣分。所以要点,也就是文章的第二段内容,要做到全,围绕中心。
结构:中考最流行的结构就是三段式,深受各地区中考英语写作阅卷老师的喜爱。为什么尼?因为这种结构十分清晰。“观点——要点——总结”让人一目了然。三段式的第一段:简单明了,开门见山,不超过2句话,如,我们想表达小强很强壮,第一段直接说XQis extremely strong。观点明确,这一句足矣。
第二段:分2-3点说为什么他强壮。1. 每天吃10顿饭,He has ten mealseveryday!详举吃的是什么。2. 每天运动2小时,He does exercise 2 hours a day!详举做了什么运动。
第三段:经过第二段的论证,可以得出结论。但请注意,不能完全照抄第一段,要有升华。也可以提出希望和建议等。如,Howstrong and robust XQ is!I hope to be him one day!
逻辑:这里的逻辑实际指的就是逻辑词。最常用的就是表示递进的,转折的,总结的逻辑词等。递进:除了first,second,third,finally等还可以使用高级点的,如first of all(首先),in addition,whatsmore,moreover(都是另外的意思),in a word,all inall(表示总结的)。转折:but,yet,however等。真正有经验的阅卷老师会很注意这些逻辑连接词,因为这些词体现了这个文章的思路。
语法:其他几点都不是硬性的要求,不那样做不能说是错,只能说是不好,但是语法却是硬性的。如,单词的使用,时态等。
亮点:当我们将前八个字都做得很完美的时候也只能得到一个二等文的上。要想得到一等文,最后两个字,亮点至关重要。大家设想如果我们是阅卷老师。有两篇写人美丽的作文摆在我们面前,都是结构清晰的三段式,要点都很全,都用了一些逻辑词,都没有语法错误,但是A篇只用了beautiful,good-looking,B篇却用到了attractive,charming,catching等,我坚信正常人都会给B篇高分的。这些高级一点的词汇,词组,句型便是我们得到一等文的最有力的绝招。所以,以后写英语作文要养成一般词汇限量用的好习惯。

篇12:有关交流英语作文初中
全文共 1956 字
+ 加入清单Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must
communicate with other people.
A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by
the simple means of speech.
If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are
likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news
or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of
society.
Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and
during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one
of the dominating factors of contemporary society.
Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,
photography, radio and television.
Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of
communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,
which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.
No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged
minority.
In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed
fortunate, but today there are public libraries.
Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people
sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into
millions of homes.
Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of
information.
The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society
and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and
entertainment.
The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with
informing, educating and entertaining.
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is
very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the
vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.
However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no
turning back.

+ 加入清单My dream is to study abroad in the future. I am always that kind of life can come true soon. But, before I realize my dream, I have to do some preparation. I think the most important thing I need to do first is to adapt the life there.
It is said that there is a big difference between the eastern and western culture.
If I know nothing, it is easy for me to have culture conflict. It will put me into an embarrass place. For example, dragon is the leader for all animals and it has holy good meaning in china. But it means violence in the western country.
I need to learn as much the cultural conflicts as possible to make my oversea life become easier.
我的梦想是以后可以去留学。我总是希望那样的生活能早日成真。但是,在实现梦想之前,我得做一些准备工作。我想我首先需要做的是适应那里的生活。据说东西方文化是有差异的。如果我什么都不知道,很容易发生文化冲突。这会置我于一个尴尬的地方。例如,龙是在中国是万兽之王,有着无比神圣的意义。但是在西方国家则是暴力的象征。我要尽量了解的文化冲突,这样我的留学生活才会变得更简单。

篇15:积极面对挫折初中英语
全文共 2335 字
+ 加入清单The most successful person may not be the smartest ones.According to a survey conducted among a group of people who were in the same university ten years ago , those whose grade-point average was in the middle fifty percent , all become rich or managers of different fields , while not a single young man of the upper ten percent becomes an executive or boss.
Why the smartest kids in the classwill not end up the richest? Why those who are not excellent in studies tend to be managers or own their own enterprise in their later life? And what factors lead to success in career and life if brains are not the only answer? According to my observation , academic brightness is only part of the story , the other factors are very important.
One ingredient , among other things , is good interpersonal skills. There is stong evidence that friendship can help to tide you over a period of difficulty. With a wide circle of friends who can be trusted yo provide
information and resources, your chances of success are much higher. On the contrary , if you are competent in profession , but have difficulty in getting along with your colleagues and even your boss, you can hardly survive the corporation.
Another component is the ability to express oneself . In today s world , what really counts is the ability to express oneself rather than technical competence or professional knowledge . The larger the orgnization of which you are an employee , and th fiercer the competition , the more important it will be that you know how to convey your thoughts and convince others of your ideas.
Personality is also an important factor. Whatever difficulty or situation , those who appear relaxed and confident are nearer to success. Obviously , among the ingredients for success , intelligence counts for the half , the rest depends on your personality , and other abilities.
最成功的人可能不是最聪明的人。据一项调查中,一群人在同一个大学十年前,那些中间的百分之五十,平均分数都变得富有或经理不同的领域,而没有一个年轻人的百分之十成为高管或老板。
为什么最聪明的孩子最终不是最富有的?为什么那些不优秀的研究往往是经理或者拥有自己的企业,他们未来的生活吗?和什么因素导致成功的职业生涯和生活如果大脑并不是唯一答案?根据我的观察,学术亮度只是故事的一部分,其他因素是非常重要的。
一个成分,除此之外,就是良好的人际关系技巧。斯通有证据表明,友谊可以帮助你渡过难关一个困难的时期。大圈的朋友可以信任你
信息和资源,你成功的机会更高。相反,如果你是胜任的职业,但在与你的同事相处有困难,甚至你的老板,你很难生存。
另一个组件是表达自己的能力。在当今世界,真正重要的是表达自己的能力而不是技术能力或专业知识。组织越大,你是一个雇员,th更激烈的竞争,更重要的是它将会让你知道如何表达你的想法和说服别人的你的想法。
性格也是一个重要因素。不管困难情况下,显得放松和自信的人接近成功。显然,成功的要素之一,智能计数的一半,其余的取决于你的个性,和其他能力。

“山寨”是用来表达伪劣产品的新代言词,人们使用它来表达高仿产品,一些生产商生产山寨产品以此来获取巨大的利润,但是这对于顾客来讲是不公平的,他们花费了这么多的钱,只为了买到真的产品而不是假的产品。伪劣产品不仅欺骗了人们的钱,而且给人们带来了危害。比如药,如果人们买到伪劣的,一旦服用,就会感到不舒服,生病,最严重的情形就是因此失去生命。伪劣产品是如此的有害,虽然政府已经采取了一些措施来禁止售卖,但是仍然有人兜售,他们是抵挡不住金钱的诱惑。如果他们的亲戚买了这些产品,会怎样呢,因此为了人们的健康,不要再卖伪劣产品了。

exercises can build up our physical strength. In collective sports like

period of exhausting work. However, as the saying goes, "there are two sides to
everything", and sports is without exception. We may hurt other players or
ourselves if we are not careful enough when participating in sports activities.
Whats more, excessive or severe training can do harm to our health.

physically and psychologically. It is also a good way for people to know each
other and can promote friendship between people. So long as we are carefully
enough, sports can do us nothing but good.

there is, however, another touching story: when sakyamuni was on his way into the high mountains in his quest for understanding and enlightenment, he grew tired and hungry. exhausted from days of walking, he fainted away by a river in india. a shepherdess found him there and fed him her lunch -- porridge made with beans and rice. sakyamuni was thus able to continue his journey.
