作文是英语高考的重头戏,也是拉开中等生和优等生的一个主要部分。如何提高英语写作水平是中等生所面临的一个重要问题。
　　中等生在写作中存在的主要问题有:
　　遗漏要点;审题不严;语言基本功不好(遣词能力不强,经常出现句子结构错误)等。
　　就上面的问题我提出如下的解决方案:
　　
　　一、认真審题,理解题意
　　
　　首先要看准文章的写作体裁,其次才能定时态、人称、格式,然后再考虑语言、语气的运用。
　　要仔细审题,把握所有的写作要点。
　　
　　二、提高遣词的能力
　　
　　平时学习过程中注意总结各种各样的词汇,加强同义和反义联想,如:
　　表达爱憎感情的词语:be into,be for, be interested in, hate, dislike, be tired of, excited, pleased, satisfied, angry, sad, worried, terrified...
　　描述人物性格、外貌和身体状况等的词语: goodlooking,blueeyed,warmhearted, farsighted,stupid,silly,clever,wise,bright,diligent,lazy...
　　
　　三、掌握英语基本句型
　　
　　There be 句型:There are different opinions among people as to using private cars.
　　定语从句:Man is now facing a big problem of air pollution which is becoming more and more serious.
　　名词性从句 :I’m confident that a bright future is awaiting us.
　　倒装:Only in these ways can we control the air pollution.
　　主语 系动词 so 形容词 that从句:He was so tired that he fell asleep the moment he went to bed.
　　主语 谓语 间接宾语 直接宾语:He paid me a visit yesterday.
　　
　　四、练习合并句子
　　例如:It was early in the morning. Mr. Smith was in his garden. He was watering flowers. →Early in the morning, Mr. Smith was watering flowers in his garden.
　　
　　五、改写句子
　　例如:将句子Mr. Green is a tall man, who wears a pair of thick glasses. 改成用介词短语作伴随状语→Mr. Green is a tall man with a pair of thick glasses.
　　还可用一句多译的方式练习:这本书花了我10元。I paid 10 yuan for the book. It cost me 10 yuan to buy the book.
　　
　　六、呈现闪光点
　　学习一些闪光点例子:
　　使用非谓语动词(短语):
　　While climbing the mountain, we enjoy the warm sunshine and a beautiful view.
　　恰当的承接语、插入语、省略及替代 :
　　Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you will learn and remember Chinese words more easily.
　　it句型及从句:
　　When it comes to destressing, it helps to set aside some time for yourself once a week.
　　总之,要掌握写作的基本方法,基本句型一定要掌握,并且要勤练习,每周都要有书面表达的练习,这样中等生是可以提高写作水平的。
