英语作文写作要点

写作初探

1．定体裁

记叙文——时态多为过去时；人称以第一或第三人称来写作，第一人称主要写自己的经历，第三人称主要写他人的经历或事迹。

说明文——时态以一般现在时为主，人称多为第一或第三人称。

议论文——时态以一般现在时为主，人称多为第一或第三人称。

2．定题材命题主要以提纲式、表格式和图画式为主。无论以那种方式命题，我们都应认真阅读分析所给的内容，在写作过程中不能遗漏所给的要点，可适当添加一些内容但切忌为了篇幅而无端地增加内容。

3．分段英文写作多以总分式结构，即先写出一个总句，然后围绕该句层层展开。整篇文章以2 -3 段为宜。4．句数和词数一篇好的英文作文句数以10—12句为佳，简单句5—6句，并列句和复合句5—6句；词数限定在120左右。

5．过渡词为了使文章流畅，连贯性，通常在段落与段落、句子与句子之间添加适当的过渡性词语。6．其它文章标题：实词大写，虚词不大写；每段首行需要缩进4个英文字母；如果一个很长的单词在句子末尾写不完，需另起行，则需要在该句末尾加—；注意文章字迹工整，篇幅整齐，布局合理。

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for your letter asking about the rebuilt Oianmen Street. Here is something about it.

Qianmen Street is a famous street of over 600 years old. Along this 800-meter street, there are more than 300 shops. As th e street is in the center of Beijing, just to the south of Tian’anmen Square, it’s very convenient to get there by bus. You may take Buses No. 17, 69 or 59. Subway Line 2 has a stop there too. Qianmen Street is a pedestrian street, but there are trolley cars to take you not only to the shops, but also to theatres and teahouses where you can experience a truly Chinese way of life. I’m sure you’ll like it.

Yours,

Li Hua
