Written expression is a comprehensive topic. However, after in-depth study, it is not difficult to find that written expression is essentially a systematic project of combining phrases into sentences and connecting sentences into articles. As long as we do well in the three links of words, sentences and paragraphs, and strengthen the practice of abbreviation, rewriting and imitation, from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, from imitation to flexible use, from practice to communication, we can gradually transform language knowledge into verbal communication ability.
(1) word selection
Words are the smallest unit of language, and words of different parts of speech are combined to form sentences. Therefore, we should make full use of key words, phrases and sentence patterns in the text to cultivate students' ability to learn and remember words.
1. The ambiguity of the word attention. For example, the word time means "time" when the times have changed; In six times my size, it means "multiple"; In slow time, it means "beating". Don't abuse the word specious when writing an article.
2. Combine English word formation, the contrast of synonyms and antonyms, and the difference between countable and uncountable meanings of nouns, strengthen the understanding of English word form changes and expand vocabulary.
3. Use transitional words skillfully to enhance the logic of the article. In order to make the written essay smooth, coherent and decent, and the transition between sentences is natural, and improve the quality of the written essay, it is necessary to add some transitional words to express the relationship between time sequence, progression, cause and effect, conditions and concessions. Common transitional words are:
(1) Transition words are in chronological order: first, second, third, then, finally, before, a few days later, finally, then, later, past, immediately, during this period, and so on.
(2) spatial order's transitional words: near (to), far (from), in front, behind, beyond, above, below, right, left, on one side, on the other side, outside and so on.
(3) Collocated transitional words: also, and, then, also, and (such as) and so on.
(4) Turning words indicating turning points: but, however, however, although, otherwise and so on.
(5) Progressive transitional words: what's more, the concept is worse, in addition, in addition, more, and so on.
(6) transitional words: for this reason, for this reason, so that; ; For, for, for and so on.
(7) Transitional words indicating cause and effect: cause, since, so, result, there, therefore, as and so on.
(8) Transition words in table interpretation: for example, in fact, in this case, for, in fact, and so on.
(9) Transition words expressing conditions: as long as, so long as a5, conditional, if, unless and so on.
(10) transitional words indicating concessions: through, as, even if/ although, who(what, when, where)ever and so on.
(1 1) transitional words summarized in the table: in short, if you have stood, it is a word.
(12) transitional parenthesis: I think, I'm afraid, you know, we all know, and so on.
(2) Making sentences
Sentence is the smallest unit to express a complete meaning, so the ability to choose words and make sentences is very important in English writing and the key to successful written expression. Therefore, it is particularly important to strengthen sentence-making training.
1. Conjunction: This is the most basic training form.
For example:
(1) Dad, here you are. It's new. You can buy it. Say, a bike can be connected together. Dad said, "I'll buy you a new bike."
I, well, write and tell me that it will be, please, and can be connected as please write and tell me when it will be good.
2. Make full use of the unique sentence patterns, sentence patterns and grammar in textbooks.
(1) Sentence patterns can make sentences concise and accurate, and improve the grade of articles.
It is+for someone. Do sth. For someone, doing something is …. For example:
It is difficult for children to do the work without help.
It's no use doing sth. It's no use doing sth.
It's no use giving him more money.
It's (has been)+time+it's been a long time since ...
He has been in the army for five years.
Before long ... Soon ...
He will be back soon.
Is/used to be … who/that … emphasizes sentence patterns.
It was yesterday that we visited the factory.
It seems ... it seems. ...
It seems that she is very happy. /She looks very happy.
I don't think/believe/expect (that) … I think … no.
I don't think I know you.
Would you please ...? Could you ...? ...？
Would you please help me?
Do you want anything? /do sth. ? Do ... okay?
Would you like a cup of tea?
(2) The use of compound sentences and participles as adverbials with compound structures can make the language description more vivid and enhance the emotion and appeal of the article. For example:
In addition, it is necessary to build gates and fences, which will damage the appearance of the city. (NMET, 2002)
I don't know about others, but I used to work even on weekends, with endless homework and classes. (NMET 200 1)
This is a small apartment of 25 square meters, with a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen. (NMET, 2003)
How happy we are to see that crops and vegetables are growing well. (NMET 1998 written expression reference answer fragment)
(3) Use sentence pattern replacement exercises to enhance the flexibility of language and broaden the expression space. For example:
The child is too young to go to school.
The boy is too young to go to school.
The boy is too young to go to school.
The boy is not old enough to go to school.
I spent 5 yuan's money on this book.
I spent five yuan on this book.
I spent five yuan on this book.
I spent five yuan on this book.
