It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful(To make the country rich and strong is...).In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic(love his country).I consider this an unchangeable truth.How can a student love his country(be patriotic)?

第八天:THE VALUE OF TIME 爱惜时光
An English proverb says that time is money.I consider it(this)wrong.Why? Because we all know that we can earn money by work but can not in any way get back time(in anyway).For this reason, we may(can)say that time is more valuable than money.Many people do not know the value of time.It(this)is indeed a great pity.We must bear(keep)in mind that wasting timeis equal towasting your life.英国有句谚语说,时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么?因为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱,但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由,我们可以说时间比钱钱更宝贵。
许多人不知爱惜时光。这确实是可惜的。我们必须记住浪费时间等于浪费生命。

第十一天:HOW TO SPEND SUNDAYS 如何消度星期日
Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly.We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours(time)of Sundays.This is indeed a great pity.Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them.We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient.We should often utilize Sundays to read reference books.In this way we will increase our knowledge.Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.我们许多人终是把星期日毫无目的地消度掉。这确实是十分可惜。我们很少能从星期日的宝贵时光中获得益处。虽然星期日是被指定为一个休息的日子,但是我们却应好好利用它。我们知道我们学校的功课通常是不够的。我们应时常利用星期日来阅读参考书。如此我们的知识就会增加了。此外,我们必须从事运动或郊游以便强壮我们的身体。
第十二天:HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY 诚为上策
There is an English proverb which says(saying)“Honesty is the best policy.” It signifies the importance of honesty.What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return.When you are sad, they will comfort you.When you are in trouble, they will help you.There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here.In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and(be)regarded as a public enemy.英国有一句谚语说“诚为上策”。它说明了诚的重要性。
诚的益处是什么?如果你对他人诚实,他们也会对你诚实作为报答。当你忧悉的时候,他们会安慰你。当你是处在困难中的时候,他们会帮助你。无法在这里数述不诚实的害处。一言以蔽之,一个不诚实的人会被人看轻的而且被看作为一个公敌。
第十三天:HOW EXERCISE HELPS 运动的利益
If our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull.And at the same time, we are lack of energy(ies)to study.Diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong.Why are our bodies not strong? Because we do not pay attention to exercise.For this reason, we students must often take different kinds(sorts)of exercise in the gym.Exercise helps us(to)strengthen our bodies and avoid disease.It also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team.如果我们的身体不强壮,我们做事的精神一定会十分迟钝。而且同时,我们也缺少足够的精力来读书。疾病只为侵击体弱的人而不是强壮的人。为什么我们的身体会不强壮呢?因为我们不注意运动。基于此种理由,我们学生必须时常在运动场做不同种类的运动。
运动帮助我们强壮身体并避免疾病。它也教我们合作,因为大多数的运动都是团体游玩的。
第十四天:THE BENEFITS OF TRAVELING 旅行的益处
I am always interested in traveling.My reasons are quite(extremely)simple and clear.If anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint(s), I shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.In the first place, traveling increases our knowledge.Only by traveling can we see(因为用(only)开头,主动词须颠倒)things outside our home town.In the second place, traveling is good to our health.While we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.In conclusion, I earnestly hope that everybody must seize(grasp at)the opportunity of traveling.我对旅行终是感觉有趣。我的理由非常简单时了。如果任何人对我的观点不满意的话,我将对他的想法会大大吃惊。
旅行增加我们的知识。只有藉旅行我们可以看到我们故乡以外的东西。旅行对我们的健康有益。当我们旅行的时候,我们通常运动我们的身体。第十五天:HOW TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN 如何做一个好公民
My aim is to become a good citizen so as to be able to render service to the(my)country.However, to become a good citizen is not an easy thing.He has many duties to fulfill.The first duty of a good citizen is to love his country.He is to(must)be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country.His second duty is to obey the law and help the government(to)maintain order.If everybody can do so, the country will be rich and strong(powerful).我的志向是做一个好公民以便能给国家效力。然而,做一个好公民不是一件容易的事情。他有许多责任要尽。
一个好公民第一件责任是爱他的国家。他须准备为国家牺牲自己的生命。他第二件责任是服从法律并且帮助政府维持治安。如果人人都能这样做的话,国家必定富强。
第十六天:THE NATIONAL FLAG 国旗
it is the duty of every citizen to honor the national flag.Why? Because the national flag is the symbol of a(the)country.To respect it means to respect the country.In other words, if a man loves his country, he must love the national flag.In school, the national flag is usually raised at a certain time every day.Then the principal, teachers, staff and students are to(must)stand before it and sing the national anthem.It is indeed extremely meaningful to attend such a ceremony.尊敬国旗是每个公民的责任(义务)。为什么?因为国旗是国家的象征。尊敬它意思就是尊敬国家。换句话说,如果一个人爱国,他必须爱国旗。
在学校里,通常每天定时要升旗。那时,校长,老师,教职员学生教师将恭敬地站在它前面并且唱国歌。参加此项仪式确实非常有意义。
第十七天:THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION 教育的重要性
It is impossible for us to make our country rich and strong without developing education.Why? Because education gives people knowledge and teaches them how to become good citizens so as to be able to serve their country.No wonder they say that education decides the progress, prosperity and civilization of a country.At present(Nowadays)most countries in(of)the world are enforcing compulsory education.It is necessary for all kinds of people, both rich and poor, to receive education.Taiwan is an exception as well not.我们不可能使我们的国家富强而不发展教育。为什么?因为教育给予人民知识并教他们如何成为好公民以便能为国家效力。难怪,有人说教育决定一个国家的进步,繁荣与文化。现在世界大多数的国家都在实施强迫教育。所有各类人民不论贫富都必须接受教育。台湾也不例外。
第十八天:INDUSTRY(DILIGENCE)勤勉
It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck.I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do.This is unchangeable truth.Idleness is the opposite of industry.It is the source of all evil.An idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures.That he is doomed to failure is of no doubt.We should not follow his example.勤勉会带给我们成功,财富和好运乃是当然之事。我确信一个苦干的人终是能够做成功他所要做的工作。这是不易之定理。
懒惰是勤勉的反面。它是万恶之源泉。一个懒惰的人只享受玩耍和寻乐。他命运注定失败是毫无疑问的。我们不应学他的榜样。
第十九天:MY NATIVE TOWN 我的故乡
My native town is X.We have settled down here since my grandfather was a child.In other words, my family has lived here for more than one hundred years.It is a small village.There are about one thousand inhabitants.Most of them are farmers.The mode of their living is very simple.However, they have already possessed television sets and refrigerators.They made up their minds to live a modern life.我的故乡是X。我们自从祖父是小孩时,就定居在此地。换句话说,我们家人在此地已经住了一百余年了。
一、审题
即按题目指定内容范围确定中心思想, 采用恰当文体, 在规定时间内完成作文。例如, 文题“TV:a good thing or a bad thing”, 先抓关键词——TV, 再考虑如何围绕其展开议论, 阐明看法;另从题目看, 文体应属议论文。确定这两点, 头脑中便形成明确框架, 不致走题或不知如何阐述观点。
二、编写提纲
写提纲, 就是为了安排好文章层次和段落, 确定选材, 逻辑系统地组织文章, 更有效地表达所思所想。如果是议论文, 提纲中心需包括论点、论据和结论三部分。例如:
Topic:Should older people live with their adult children?
Central idea: It is a good practice for older people to live with their adult children.
Supporting ideas:
1) Older people and their adult children can get comfort and help from one another.
2) Housing problems can partially solved.
3) Living expenses can be reduced.
Conclusion: Older people are expected to live with their adult children for their own as well as their children’s sake.
三、成文写作
短文写作要从每个基本步骤扎实练起, 方能水到渠成。下面从句、段、篇章分别谈谈写作技巧。
1.句
句子是构成段落的基础;成功段落一般包含三种句子:主题句、展开句和结论句。
a.主题句。提示或说明段落主题的句子叫主题句, 特点是句式简洁, 中心突出, 具有概括性, 且一次只能表达一个议题。没有主题句, 段落就缺少中心, 段落意义也含糊不清。下面是题为Career Change in Middle -life的文章中的四个主题句, 哪一个更为合适?
1) I had always wanted to change my career.
2) At my fortieth birthday, I made a career decision that I have made when I was twenty.
3) Every day I dreaded going to work.
4) My present job was giving me ulcers.
不难看出2) 是正确答案, 而3) 、4) 太具体, 1) 没提换工作, 只是可能要换。句1) 、3) 、4) 可作其他段落而非全文主题句。
b.展开句。其功能为支持主题句所陈述的思想观点, 这类句子给出各种细节或例证, 以阐述或证明主题的各个方面。
c.结论句。概括、总结性的句子, 一般具有概括性、启迪性等特点, 是对段落主题的总结。其最佳形式是主题句别具一格、匠心独运的翻版, 从而合乎逻辑、顺理成章地结束全文。
2.段
篇章不论长短须分成若干段落, 并围绕中心议题相互紧密连接。段落与篇章的关系既紧密相依又独立成体, 段落包括起始段、论述段、结尾段。
a.起始段。要告诉读者想阐述的观点, 一般来说不宜太长, 言简意赅、直接了当为好。主要可采用设问法、质疑法。
1) 设问法, 要增加文章感染力, 直接切入主题, 可采用直接提问的方法。如题为 Good Health的文章可以这样开头:Why is good health necessary to happiness and success?
2) 质疑法, 是对某些或大多数人的观点提出疑问, 从而道出自己的看法。例如:
Although most persons believe that males are physically stronger than females, this belief is not based on fact. Studies have shown that females have a biological precocity that is evident from birth onward. The skeletal development of girls is superior to that of boys at birth, and this physical superiority continues until maturity.
这段文章用科研成果说明, 男人比女人结实的观点是错误的。
b.论述段, 是围绕论点展开论述的段落。要使论述有说服力, 可采用以下方法:用事例发展主题句;用比较—对比法发展主题句。
1) 事例法, 也称列举法, 常用连词有:first, second, third或 For one thing…for another等。如:Looking forward to the decade of 1980’s, one wonders what personal qualities will be needed for success. Possibly the four most essential attributes are:flexibility, honesty, creativity, and perseverance.First, our rapidly changing society requires flexibility—the ability to adapt oneself to readily to new ideas and experiences.Next, honesty, the capacity both to tell and to face the truth courageously, will be important in all aspects of personal and public relations. In addition, creativity will be required to meet the constantly changing world around us.Finally, perseverance , the ability to hold on at all costs, will be required in a society where it is full of competitions for space, food and shelter.
2) 比较与对比, 包括两种写法。
①类比法, 即将两种不同事物间的相似点进行比较。如:Li Yin and Lu Ping have many things in common. To begin with, both girls have the same background, Li Yin was born and raised in the South, and so was Lu Ping. In addition, both girls are interested in the same kinds of subjectsin college. Li Yin likes English, math, and computer science. Similarly, Lu Ping has great interest in these three subjects. Furthermore, both girls want to be engineers. Li Yin plans to become an electrical engineer; Lu Ping wants to be a military engineer. As you can see, the two girls are almost like twins.
②对比法, 即强调事物间的不同之处。如:In Europethere are very few wooden houses being built today. This is partly because wood is no longer as it once was, and partly because wooden houses catch fire quite easily. On the other hand, there are many wooden houses in the US. This is because the first settlers wanted to build houses quickly and inexpensively. Since the country was covered in many places with forests, some trees had to be cut down to make room for houses.
c.结尾段, 是一篇文章必不可少的部分。结尾部分草草收场, 会使人感到悬而未决, 以致全文软弱无力;反之, 严谨完整的收尾则会深化主题, 给读者以完整感。通常采用综合结论法, 即在总结全文的例证、事实等基础上最后得出结论。如:By setting a good example for your children, you are not only giving them a good model to imitate, you are also helping them to increase their chances for survival. It is not too soon to help your children begin to appreciate, understand, and respect the environment in which they live.
文章主要讲述父母有责任帮助孩子了解林木花草、山川河流, 学会欣赏与保护美丽的大自然。结尾段通过概括总结, 更加深化主题, 同时也给读者留下完整印象。
摘要:写好一篇短文, 需要几个关键步骤:审题、编写提纲、成文写作。短文写作要从每个基本步骤扎实练起, 方能水到渠成。
一、 脱离baby English的成熟风格
1. 抛弃“以我为中心”
我们很容易在学生的作文中看到多个以I为主语的句子,这使得整篇文章看上去“我”的地位非常突出,不仅行文上给人感觉非常单调,而且显得观点的表达太过主观,孩子气太重。例如一篇以Friends为题的习作就出现了这样的问题:
(1) I’ll talk about the topic on how to make friends. I think it’s important for everyone to make friends because we need someone to turn to when we are sad or in trouble. I also think that friends can help us succeed.
这样的文章好似一家之言,不太具有说服力,如果我们将主语做些修改,文章的口吻将更客观:
(2) There seems to be quite a lot for me to say about the topic how to make friends. It’s important for everyone to make friends because we often need someone to turn to when we are sad or in trouble. Friends, sometimes, can help us succeed, as many examples have shown.
2. 合并句子
太过简单的单句组合让文章显得零散、不成熟,一些简单的手段便可实现句子的整合,比如使用标点、连接词、介词或从句等手段。例如(1)的原文与修改过的(2):
(1) In the first place, you should be kind to others and wear smile in your face. Smile is the magnet to attract others. In addition, you should try your best to remember other’s name. When you disagree with others, don’t argue with them, try to cool down.
(2) Try to be kind to others with smile on your face which is the magnet to attract others and always try to remember other’s name. When you disagree with others, don’t argue with them but cool down.
修改过后,四句变成了两句,通过使用介词with、 定语从句、连词and与but等手段,该段变得更为紧凑与利落。
二、 接近real English的个性风格
学生作文中的英语之所以看起来不太地道,一是和他们的语言基础有关,另外,语言的组织太四平八稳、缺少新意也是一个原因,他们更喜欢或习惯使用简单的主 + 谓 + 定 + 宾 + 补 + 状等正常语序的陈述句。实际上,通过行文方式的改变,作文可以使人耳目一新。
1. 颠倒主谓
倒装是一种语法手段,英语中最基本的倒装句为主、谓倒装,倒装有时是出于语法结构的需要,有时是出于修辞的需要,起到了突出或强调等作用,这就带来了表达效果的差异,也改变了我们的语言风格。例如:
On the playground shouted the PE teacher, “Boys and girls, come back!”
此句中,状语提前,主谓颠倒,读起来新颖,不落俗套。
2. 以介词短语开头,例如:
With the hope for being admitted to college, he studied much harder than his classmates.
3. 以形容词开头,例如:
(1) Sally was Betrayed. She fell into despair and sat in the dark for the whole night.
(2) Betrayed, Sally fell into despair and sat in the dark for the whole night.
例(1)中,第一句话省略主谓,只留下过去分词便形成(2),过去分词有时弱化分词功能,形成形容词。
4. 以副词开头,例如:
(1) People usually think that westerners are opener than Asains.
(2) Usually, people think that westerners are opener than Asains.
5. 以不定式开头,例如:
(1) The two generations can do something together at least once a week to get a closer relationship.
(2) To get a closer relationship, the two generations can do something together at least once a week.
6. 以从句开头,例如:
(1) We should do what we can do even though the current situation will not change in a short time.
look back upon
回忆,回
1、Look back upon a dreadful mis-spent life, and ask thy self what thou hast not done?
回头看看你半生的罪孽吧!问问你自己,你什么坏事没有作过?
2、I suggest that we shall look back upon this little caper one day.

3、First, we look back upon the effects which media act on human knowledge, and reflect on the role which the program plays.

4、Each time I look back upon it, I am always proud of the two years.
每当我回眸此事,我总是对这两年感到自豪。
5、It looks as if they were victims of a conspiracy for the books they read, ideal by the necessity of selection, and the conversation of their elders, who look back upon the past through a rosy haze? Of forgetfulness, prepare them for an unreal life.
看起来他们就像是一场阴谋的牺牲品,因为他们读的眉目由于被精细选过而变得完美。长辈回忆往事时,隔了健忘这一层玫瑰色薄雾,用他们的.话为年轻人准备了不真实的生活。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of An American girl in traditional Chinese costume and then explain the importance of cultural exchanges. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. The picture vividly depicts a lovely American girl in traditional Chinese costume with a sweet smile on her face. She wears ribbons, necklaces and other accessories that are characteristic of the clothes of a certain Chinese minority group. The fact that people from different countries are attracted to mysterious Chinese culture indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated and shared internationally. In other words, a nation’s unique/distinctive culture can become international through worldwide economic and cultural exchanges. Since the trend of globalization becomes irresistible, the increasing cultural exchanges can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship. It is my view that national culture as priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved and cherished. Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate international culture for those ideas from the other cultures, controversial or even absurd at first sight, can provide a different perspective for us to observe the world in the long run. Nevertheless, when we are confronted with a different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and to resist its dark side.

Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Jobs for Graduates.You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、大学生难找工作,2、原因很多,3、解决的办法。
Job hunting has always been a headache for college students.Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not.Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.The reasons for this phenomenon are various.On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market.On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.I reckon this problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures.First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need.Second, students’ attitude towards employment should be changed.They should go to small cities and country.There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge.In a word, if we pay much attention, the situation can be improved.四级英语作文 十大必背范文

1、大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩,2、考生可能带来的副作用,3、我对考试的看法。
In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject.Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching.Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques.No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations.In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits.As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development.If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?

In my life I have met a great many people who are really worth recalling.But perhaps the most unforgettable person I ever know is my English teacher.What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities.First and foremost, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening of a passion for learning.He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field.Furthermore, I was attracted by his lively wit.I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs. Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.10、论说文框架:

一、出题方式
高考英语短文改错一般以记叙文为主,多有书信形式、励志性的小品文,也有较简单的议论文和说明文。篇幅较为短小,一般不超过300字,语言运用相对简单,很少有长且复杂的句子。而且多为学生的习作,重在考查考生的英语基础和熟练运用语言的能力。从2013年的考题中我们可以看到两种考题,一种是十行句子考查,其中九个需要改的,一行没有错误需要打对号。另一种是从头开始找出十个错误为止。就这两种题型而言,第一种比较定位,但是没有第二种题型灵活性。改的都是单个儿的词,主要分为三类,替换词、去掉词和补上词。针对这三种出题方法,考生需要根据考题要求使用正确改错符号,每套试题前都有说明,这儿不再强调。
二、考查范围
纵观近几年的高考,我们可以发现短文改错着重考查以下几个方面的问题:1动词的各种形式。包括谓语动词和非谓语动词。谓语动词中的时态、语态、第三人称单数。非谓语动词中动名词、动词不定式、现在分词和过去分词。2名词。名词的单复数(包括复合名词)、名词所有格以及名词前冠词的使用。3形容词与副词。4固定搭配。主要指一些介词短语和动词短语。5逻辑关系。有的改错题从语法、固定搭配上看不出任何错误,只有通读全文才会发现逻辑关系上不一致,出现张三李四的情况,只有认真阅读、仔细品味才能觉察出,这其实与平时培养语感是有很大关系的。其中包括名词性从句、定语从句和状语从句的连接词以及并列句并列词、人称代词和指示代词的乱用以及表示方向性的动词的使用,比方说come和go。
三、应对策略
根据上面我们已经分析过的出题方式和考查范围,我们接下来讨论一下应对策略,为了方便考生的记忆与使用,我把解题技巧用一个口诀写出来。请看:动词形,名词数,注意形和副。固定搭配要牢记,逻辑关系要理清。
现在我们就以2013年的高考题为例,看看到底应该在如何使用。
首先我们来看第一条:动词形。请看新课标全国卷Ⅰ:例1,Sheused to holding me on her knees and sing old songs.从动词的形式上我们很快就发现holding错了,应该改为原形。当然这个从固定搭配上也可以找出错误,used to do表示曾经做。当然也可以从and并列结构入手寻找答案。例2,l was only four when she passesaway. 考查谓语动词,状语从句的谓语与主句谓语同时发生在过去,用一般过去式。再看新课标全国卷Ⅱ:例3,Haveteainthelateafternoon provides a bridge between lunch and dinner.纵观全文,我们可以看到本文采用的是一般现在时态,说明谓语动词没有问题,但是另外一个动词就有问题了,它处在主语的位置,却用的是动词原形,应改为动名词形式。例4,Tea in China is traditionallydrankfromcupswithouthandles. 传统的中国饮茶当然说的是过去,谓语动词没问题,而饮茶,茶当然是被饮,要用过去分词。drank要改为drunk。
我们再来看第二条:名词数。请看新课标全国卷Ⅰ:例如,Hewas tall,with broad shoulder.一个人两个肩膀,所以shoulder要用其复数形式。再看新课标全国卷Ⅱ:例如,When tea got popular inBritain,there was a crying need for good cup with handles to suit Britishhabits. 在这个句子中已经出现了两个可数名词的复数形式,handles和habits。那与handles对应的cup更应该用其复数形式。再看大纲卷中的这样一个句子:He says if l decide to do something,ittakesmuchtimestostopme.此句中的time不是次数的意思,而指的是时间,是不可数名词,应改为time。
再看第三条:注意形和副。请看新课标全国卷Ⅱ:例如,Interesting,it had a connection to the British porcelain industry. 放在句首,对整个句子起评价作用的我们一般使用副词。比方luckily,fortunately等的用法一样。再看大纲卷中的这样一个句子:Whenthe teacher asks us very difficulty questions,l will think quickly andstanduptoanswer.very副词修饰形容词或副词,形容词修饰名词。所以difficulty应改为difficult。
第四条,固定搭配要牢记。新课标全国卷Ⅰ中考到了turninto,infact.新课标全国卷Ⅱ中考了haveaconnection to/with.大纲卷中考了standup.
第五条,逻辑关系要理清。这个主要关系连接并列句的词如and,but,or,so,for等词以及主从复合句中从句的连接词,还有人称代词、指示代词的不正确使用等。比如新课标全国卷Ⅰ中的setsb apart from中的sb应是宾格形式而不是反身代词。大纲卷中Myfather is hardworkingbut goes to work in the field ever day. 很明显两个并列句没有转折的意思,应使用and。另一个句子,Thisishowlneedtoimprovein thefuture.表语从句引导词要做need的宾语,用what。
当然,除此之外,可能会有其他情况。比方说一些相似词的混淆使用,将never用成ever的情况,也有将similar用成familiar的现象,也可能应该使用special的时候使用了especial。当然对于这些情况,只要我们我熟练掌握了英语语言的日常用法,也会迎刃而解。因此,我们要经常阅读,甚至要达到背诵,以增强英语的语感。有了好的语感,我们甚至在第一遍阅读的时候就会发现其中的写作错误。当然我们也可以通过自己写一篇作文,然后同学或搭档之间交换后相互批阅,也可以达到训练短文改错的目的。因为自己意识不到的错误别人一看往往一目了然。
摘 要:本文将“巧”字贯穿全篇,首先从教育学的角度提出了写对提高记忆力的重要性,从心理学的角度提出教师应解决学生在写作时存在的畏难情绪;其次举出实例,提出教师可根据课上所教的语法知识,所学的重点词汇为学生创立出一种情境来进行写作;进而过渡到让学生自设情境,充分发挥学生的创造力。通过“巧”写短文,让学生养成用词准确,造句合乎规范,作文讲究章法的好习惯,从而不断提高学生的英语写作能力,享受写作的快乐。
关键词:教育 英语写作 巧 情境
《大纲》要求学生用30分钟左右的时间写出一篇语法规范、用词准确、行文流畅的100字左右的短文。那么如何在平时的教学中对学生进行写作能力的培养呢?我认为“巧”写短文不失为一种好的练习方法。
所谓“巧”写短文是指学生根据老师课上所教的语法知识,所学的重点词汇,及时地通过短文写作的形式巩固所学知识,让学生养成用词准确,造句合乎规范,作文讲究章法的好习惯,从而不断提高学生的英语写作能力。
“巧”写短文,巩固学生所学的基础知识。人们常说学英语有五到:心到用脑想,耳到动耳听,口到动口说,眼到动眼看,手到动手写。运动记忆给人留下的印象比听觉视觉更深。记忆力的发挥,直接影响英语学习的效率和成绩。
在日常的教学中,教师让学生掌握了大量的词组和句式,词组介乎于词与句之间,可以说是造句成篇的半成品或预制构件。但是这些词组和句式,学生是否能正确运用了呢?为了让学生加深印象,避免学生在背诵词组句式时的“有口无心”现象,及时进行写作练习是非常必要的。
“巧”写短文,提高学生在情境中运用语言的能力。
1.“巧”写短文,培养学生的自信心
学生的能力千差万别,一开始就搞命题作文,让学生苦思苦想的去“憋”作文,学生往往会憋出许许多多错误百出的句子,会对写作产生畏难、厌烦情绪,影响学生对英语的兴趣。因此在进行写作能力的培养时,教师要帮学生克服心理障碍,要注重对学生写作方法的指导和自信心的培养。
2.“巧”写短文,满足学生的成功欲
为了帮助学生克服写的困难,教师在进行写作练习时要放宽要求,降低难度。初期进行短文写作时教师可以让学生抄写课文中的重点句式或语法例句,也可让学生用新词造句,套用句式。当学生用词准确,造句合乎规范时教师一定不要吝惜夸奖的语言,满足学生的成功欲。
3.“巧”写短文,发挥学生的创造力
巧写短文,关键在于做到一个“巧”字。教师对学生进行写作训练时一定要讲求教学方法,由形式到内容,按照由简到繁,由易到难的原则,及时提高难度,逐步进行训练。
在学生能正确运用所学词组和句式后,教师可为学生设置新的情境,有针对性的指导学生灵活运用所学词汇,将所学知识运用到短文写作中去。现在我以现行人教版高一课本Units 9-10为例,介绍一下短文写作的基本做法。在教师重点教学或复习了devote... to,die out,take measures,call for,make a difference,remind,dare say,break down,depend,in no case,disagree,no matter…等词汇的用法后,我给学生设置了一个新的情境,要求学生进行短文写作。
王教授致力于(devote…to)动物的保护工作。他说:“现在许多动物正濒临灭绝(die out)。不管(no matter…)发生了什么,我们都应该采取措施(take measures)来阻止人们破坏环境。这项工作需要(call for)耐心和勇气。即使是小事也能起到巨大的作用(make a difference)。”他的朋友提醒(remind)王教授注意身体。“你已经取得了巨大的成功。我敢说(dare say)你如果想这样继续工作下去,你的身体将会垮下来(break down)。”王教授不同意朋友们的话。“那要看情况而定(depend)。在任何情况下(in no case)我们都不能放弃。”
对于学有余力的学生,教师应鼓励学生自设情境,最大限度地让学生把自己掌握的词汇,语法,句型运用到作文中去,写出有个人特色的英语作文来。这样做可充分发挥学生的创造性,真正培养学生在“情境中运用英语的能力”,同时教师应鼓励同学之间进行交流,发扬协作精神,共同进步,共同提高。
这里有一点必须注意,不管是老师指定情境还是学生创设情境,要根据题意,展开思路,既不死抠汉语文字,写成汉译英,又不任意发挥,致使错误泛滥。
“巧”写短文,让学生养成作文讲求章法的习惯。写作是综合性很强的语言运用形式,离不开必要的背诵,及时的批改。一篇好的短文除了漂亮的书法,语言的准确外还必须做到讲求章法——说理性的短文要有主题句、关键词,观点归纳;叙事性的短文要注意上下文联系的过渡词,结尾适当进行情感升华……在写作中为避免句式单调合理运用分词、从句、强调、倒装等句式,逐步养成谋篇布局,行文流畅好习惯。
“巧”写短文,学生能巩固知识形成技巧;“巧”写短文,学生能深入分析课文的篇章结构,养成讲究章法的习惯;“巧”写短文,学生的口头表达能力也会随之有潜在性的发展,读和听的能力会间接受益;“巧”写短文,能充分发挥学生的创造性,培养自信心,增加成就感。让我们用心去思考,让学生以练习为乐,以写为乐!
