卓越初四学校 / 写出优秀的中考英语作文

作文是很多同学害怕的东西，特别是英语作文。首先一点，缺乏词汇的作文是不可能精彩的作文。所以同学们必须掌握好初中三年所学习的单词，这样写起作文来才不会不知如何下手

近几年中考的作文考题主要是开放的试题，给学生很多自由发挥的空间，重点考察学生是否能够用英语去做事情、完成任务，以及用英语表达、传递信息的能力。作文题材有：看图写话、写人、写事、介绍、写回信、发 E— m ail、留言条、通知、根据中英文提示写段落、根据信息写报告等。不管遇到哪种题材的作文，考生应该先看懂题目，然后按作文写作的三个步骤来做：审题（题材、时态、内容、要点）、写作（起草、写作、誊写）、检查（内容要点、语言表达、单词拼写）。平日很多学生在英语学习的过程中热衷于做题，不重视作文，在考场上就容易看着作文题发呆，提起笔来无话可写，有些学生的作文词法、句法错误太多，七扣、八扣，分数所剩不多，还有些学生所写英语不地道，通篇都是汉语式英语，无精彩句子，这样的作文也肯定得不到满意的分数。那么如何才能写好作文，在中考中拿高分呢？

一定要养成英语思维的好习惯，写之前要想好所学过的、读过的、听过的较地道的英语句子；平日多积累，多背几篇好文章，适当抄一些英语文章以及精彩的句子，比如：You grow from reaching， you learn from trying， you win from doing．（你在奋进中成长，在尝试中学习，在做事中成功）。The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest men of past centuries．（读所有的好书，如同和每个世纪中最杰出的人在交谈）等好句子，写作文时根据不同的作文题材灵活运用，使你的文章精彩、饱满；要想写好作文，不仅要写好常见的简单句，应该适当地写出复杂的句式，如把正常语序的句子改成倒装语序或强调的结构等；用好的连接词使文章结构严谨，如：and， but， however， in my opinion， in a word， so等等；文章注意分段、重点突出、逻辑性强；时态、语态用得准确；注意书写工整。要想提高写作水平，就要不断动笔，经常练习才能发现自己的不足。
