如何学好英语写作?
书面语言表达一般分为三个过程：思维、组织、表 达。 思维：把要写的内容在脑中思考，这往往是个别的， 孤立的一些素材，很凌乱琐碎 。 组织：把思维的素材做出整理，使其条理、系统化， 但这往往还是较粗糙的，可能还有一些用词不当或 语言错误 。 表达：把组织过的材料仔细推敲，反复斟酌，然后 再落笔成文。在撰写时要注意用词恰当，时态呼应， 语句连贯等，这就是写作。
In addition to changing the meaning of a word, capitalization has various other functions. Generally speaking, capitals are used mainly at three places: 1. Key words in titles 2. Proper names e.g.: Peking University the Middle Ages Labor Day
Punctuate the following sentences and use capitals where necessary. she said we have decided to take the examination we have decided to take the examination she said we have decided she said to take the examination
E.g. My First Visit to the Palace Museum Rules to Abide By What Can the Artist Do in the World of Today? What reform Means to China The English-Speaking people in Quebec
Ⅳ. Punctuation
Here are a few basic rules which all students leaning to write shall remember: 1. Use a period at the end of a complete sentence. 2. Don’t use a comma to join two coordinate clauses; use a comma and a conjunction or a semicolon. 3. Don’t overuse the exclamation mark. 4. Put direct speech between quotation marks.
写作能扩大所用语言的范围。口语所用的语 言一般比较简单常用，复杂或文雅的语言很 少用，也不易用。而写作所用的语言则是多 种多样的，从极简单的到极复杂的都用得上， 所用的词汇和句型比口语中常用的要多，这 当然对掌握英语极有好处。
写作训练能帮助我们提高逻辑思考及分析问 题的能力。写一篇文章，不论长短，都需要 妥善地组织材料，得出结论，做到重点突出， 条理清楚。这样，在锻炼写作能力的同时， 也锻炼了分析与处理实际问题的能力。
