書面表達是英語學習中的一個難點,也是很多同學的一個失分點和薄弱點。對此,筆者總結(jié)了幾條提分策略,以期對同學們的寫作有所幫助。
一、優(yōu)先選擇短語
眾所周知,英語短語的語言表達效果是高于單詞的。因此,在英語書面表達中,同學們在用詞時要注意優(yōu)先選擇英語短語或詞組,這樣往往可以增加書面表達的亮點,提高書面表達的生動性和高級感。比如:
①鍛煉對我們來說很重要。
It is very important for us to do exercise.(一般)
It is of great importance for us to do exer-cise.(優(yōu)秀)
②過去許多人認為太陽是繞著地球轉(zhuǎn)的。
In the past, many people thought that thesun turned round the earth.(一般)
In the past, many people held the view thatthe sun turned round the earth.(優(yōu)秀)
③利用你的業(yè)余時間操練英語。
Use your spare time to practice English.(一般)
Take advantage of your spare time to prac-tice English.(優(yōu)秀)
Make the best use of your spare time to practice English.(優(yōu)秀)
④調(diào)查顯示,75%的人贊成新頒布的法規(guī)。
The survey shows that 75% of the peopleagree the new law.(一般)
The survey shows that 75% of the peopleapprove of the new law.(優(yōu)秀)
The survey shows that 75% of the people are in favor of the new law.(優(yōu)秀)
二、巧用名言警句
名言警句,言簡意賅,具有較強的啟發(fā)性和哲理性。在英語書面表達中,同學們?nèi)裟芮擅畹匾妹跃?,則可以極大地增強文章的文采和說服力,使文章富有深度和文化底蘊。這就要求同學們在平時的英語學習中還要注意加強對諺語、俗語以及名言警句的積累,從而豐富語言儲備。比如:
①Just as the saying goes:“No pain, no gain.”So we should study hard in order to achieve great success.
正如俗話所說:“一分耕耘,一分收獲?!彼?,要想獲得成功,我們就必須努力學習。
②There is an old saying going like this:“A book does hide a charming bridge.”I love read-ing books a lot.
古語有云:“書中自有黃金屋”,我非常喜歡讀書。
③As the proverb goes,“unity is strength”.In my opinion, we should not ignore the impor-tance of unity at no tlme.
正如諺語所說,“團結(jié)就是力量”。在我看來,我們?nèi)魏螘r候都不應該忽視團結(jié)的重要性。
④As the famous saying goes,“Failure is the mother of success”. We shouldn't be afraid of difficulties, and try our best to overcomethem.
俗話說:“失敗是成功之母”,我們不應該怕困難,而應盡最大努力克服困難。
三、恰當使用連接詞
連貫性是評價文章的一個重要標準,而連接詞的恰當使用則是提高文章連貫性的有效方法。所以,在初中英語書面表達中,同學們要注意連接詞的準確使用,從而確保文章銜接自然,脈絡清晰,層次分明,表達流暢。常見的連接詞有:
(1)表示“增加”:besides,moreover, fur-thermore, what's more等;
(2)表示“強調(diào)”:actually, especially,above all,of course等;
(3)表示“總結(jié)”:in short,in all,all in all,in a word等;
(4)表示“轉(zhuǎn)折”:but,however, while,nev-ertheless等;
(5)表示“先后”:firstly, secondly, at first,next,at last等;
(6)表示‘‘因果”:as,so,therefore, becauseof,as a result of等。
譬如:Firstly,1 will be strict in my studiesand listen attentively in class. Try to catch ev-erything that teachers say in class. Secondly,Ishould show respect to my teachers and be al-ways ready to help others. Get on well with oth-er students as hard as possible. Besides,I mustget used to school life and form good livinghabits, such as getting up early, doing sportsand so on.該語段準確運用了frstly, secondly,besides等連接詞,使文章有條理、有層次,讀來緊湊而連貫。
總之,英語書面表達能力的提升并非一日之功,而是一個循序漸進、日積月累的過程。在平時的英語學習中,同學們要注意多讀、多背、多記、多積累,并做到持之以恒,打好扎實的英語基本功,這樣寫作時才不會手忙腳亂,無話可說。
