英语写作的九大问题
一、内容:
1、你想说的最重要的事是什么?如果已经说出来了,在草稿中找出这段话,并在句子下面划线。如果还没有说出来,现在就写。
2、文章里所写的每件事都同主旨相关吗?哪个部分你不需要?如果你写的是当你在银行实习时,意识到自己宁愿成为一名核物理学家,那么坐公交上班这段话就显得十分没有必要了。
3、你做到具体化了吗?如果发现自己只是泛泛而谈,那么就把一般变为具体。
4、你有没有思考并回答读者最想问的问题?
5、你的文章是否像你的人?有没有在陈述自己时过于正式?是不是过于随意?寻找一种适合主题的语调(乏味的语调会毁了一个好故事)。
6、文章中最令你满意的是什么?
7、文章中最令你不满的是什么?哪一部分还不对头?要使它和文章其他部分一样好,你能做什么?
二、趣味:
1、你开头的第一个句子能否抓住读者的注意力?如果你是读者,它能吸引你吗?“我14岁时,我家搬到了吉隆坡”是否同“他们把货车开过来,上面装着各种各样的箱子。我的东西被他们无情地扔进里面,直到空荡荡的房间里只剩下我一个人。我们又搬家了。”一样吸引人?
2、你的文章是否需要更多的细节?举例来说,如果你已经写了在你志愿服务的野营地里,孩子们教会你“欣赏生活中简单的事情”,你还需要再多写一到两句话,详细描述一下这种教育意味着什么。
3、结尾能让读者们感觉文章已经写完了吗?结束语听上去像是结束语吗?在一篇写自己从错误中汲取教训的文章里,一个总结性的概括,不如某些发自内心的简单写法具有感染力。
4、大声地读你的文章,相信自己的耳朵。你认为这篇文章有趣吗?如果自己都觉得它令人厌倦,想想读者的感觉!
三、清楚:
1、是否每个段落
在文章中都有明确的位置?如果不是,就需要做些删除或改写一下。 2、你的读者能轻松地跟上你的思绪吗?有没有需要填充的裂缝或者需要删除的不必要的迂回?
3、有没有一些词或句子显得粗糙或模棱两可?如果有,删除模棱两可的词,加工粗糙的地方。
四、简洁:
1、你的文章到底是从哪里正式开始的?能否把那些引导性的句子删除,直接进入主题?
2、有没有和主题无关的细节?如果有,删掉它们。
3、是否用了很多的词语,其实用一到两个词就可以完全代替?“我要告诉你们的非常重要的一点是,我申请的只有贵校一所学校,那是我从童年开始形成的一生的渴望。”这是一个无比冗长的句子,不如改为:“我只申请了艾莫利大学,因为我一直都想进这所学校。”记住,在一篇短文里,每一个字都要有意义。
五、用法和风格:
1、你把所有的旧词、过时的词都删掉了吗?
2、你用没用主动语态和动作性很强的动词?
3、对句子的长度和结构进行过修改吗?
4、有没有用到描述性的词和比喻的手法?
5、是否避免了使用空洞的修饰语,如“very”,“rather”,“somewhat”等等?
6、如果使用了缩略语,它们是否和文章的风格统一?省略号的位置对不对?
六、语法:
1、主语同动词单复数是否一致?
2、代词与先行词是否一致?
3、代词指代明确吗?(尤其要注意的是“this”和“that”)
4、修饰词的位置是否靠近被修饰词?
5、有没有悬垂结构或放错位置的修饰语?
6、动词的形式同时态及语态一致吗?
7、有没有逗号重叠的情况?
8、有没有发现不完整的句子?
七、标点符号:
1、标点符号是否明确地划分开句子结构?
2、所用的标点符号,如省略号、冒号、波折号、分号、逗号、括号、连字号、引号等是否正确?
3、是否尽量不使用惊叹号?(合适的词语比惊叹号在表达上更为有效)
八、技巧:
1、大写字母是否用得正确并前后呼应?
2、数字使用是否相互对应?(十以前的数字最好用拼写的方式,十以后的数字用符号代替。如果搞不清楚,就全用符号表示。)
3、每个词都拼写正确吗?
4、因篇幅所限需要分开的词分得是否正确?
5、你的文章是否打印得整洁?版式是否吸引人?
九、校对:
1、有没有丢掉的词或行?
2、有没有打字错误?
