开放性英语作文写法讲义及练习
开放性英语作文的写作方法
“开放作文”的命题方式是让考生根据一幅图画，在描述图画信息之余，发挥自己的想象，展开简单的议论。北京市的“开放作文”和全国硕士研究生入学考试的英语作文有点像。现在，北京市“开放作文”倾向于“就图论事”。 开放作文试题的要求一般都会这样描述：
1) 文章扣题：描述有的放矢，突出主题。
2) 思维活跃：发散思维空间，学生从不同的、全新的角度看待分析一个事物或现象。
3) 内容健康充实：内容要点乐观向上，以积极的态度进行表达。
一、写作步骤
仔细审图片内容，即图片中的物象包括些什么，及其他们各自的特点。这是为整篇作文立意的前提。发挥创新思维和发散思维能力，尝试多角度立意(如从人生哲理，学习态度，社会意义等方面立论) 。确定论点，并组织论证过程。在论证过程中，常用的论述方法是正反论述，对比论述，联系实际举例论述。句与句之间连接成分的恰当使用，可使议论部分脉络更加清晰，语言逻辑关系更加流畅。所以，从结构上讲，开放作文有明显的套路可循。其实“开放作文”只要求做两件事，一件是描图(describe the picture) ，另一件是阐述你对图画的看法(explain how you understand it )，但是，在“描述”和“阐述”之间加一个适当的“过渡”。总之，开放作文应分成三段：描图----析图---总结“组句成篇，
二. 开放作文有很多可供参考的“万能句子”：
描图部分：
As the picture vividly conveys,
As can be seen from the picture/as you can see in the picture,
What an interesting/funny picture!
析图部分:
