写作基本要求。
1. 思维直线形。
英语直线形的思维方式使他们的文章通常都是开门见山式的, 英语语篇一般按照直线展开,通常包含四个部分:导入、主题、支撑、结论。
2. 如何发表个人观点。
套用句型。1) 表示个人支持的观点。
if i were forced to agree with one of the two methods, my choice would be for …
i am one of the many people who support the idea of …
as far as …is concerned, i prefer …
for my part, i am a supporter of …
i believe that the title statement is valid because of …
at the risk of sounding too direct, i prefer to … because …
i feel that the saying neatly justifies the decision.
on the question of … i h**e for a long time admitted that …
given the factors i h**e outlined, i believe that …
2) 表示个人反对的观点。

at first sight/glance, the idea sounds reasonable, but if we take a further look, we can find that it does not hold water.
in spite of all the claims of …,i doubt the value of …
however, although many people …,i feel it is better to …

3) 表示折衷的观点。

在表达个人观点时,要注意词汇的丰富性。比如说,在表达“支持”这个概念的时候,可以采用follow, advocate, claim; 表达“某观点正确”的意思的时候,可以用justify, 而不是用reasonable.
1选词。实词与虚词,上义词与下义词,书面语和口头语的选择。
1)实词与虚词,上义词和下义词。
在语言的选择上,在语言的选择上,如果能多用一些实词,尽量多用下义词而少用上义词,将会增添文章的声色和气势,避免空洞,并使文章更加生动。比如在证明自己观点的时候,可以用advocate, assert, claim, contest等来代替think, suppose, propose 等。
比较:例1:
it has an unusual smell.
it smells unusual.
例2the competition puts much pressure on people.
the competition imposes much pressure on people.
例3the government gives equal opportunities to all.
the government ensures equal opportunities to all.
例4the society still makes women unable to enjoy equal rights.
women are still denied equal rights to the society.
提示:在写作过程中应该避免使用那些较大或较虚的的词,在选择动词的时候,要避免包涵力太广而显得空洞的动词,比如be, do, take, make, h**e, get等。
以walk为例, 有多种多样的词可以代替它,可以参考。
在选择形容词的时候也要遵循这种原则,比如形容一个人品质好的时候,不应该用nice这样空泛的词,而是使用诸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital之类的词。也可以参考。比较:
例1big , huge , large
synonyms big, bulky, considerable, goodly, good-sized, grand, great, handsome, hefty, hulking, largish, outsize (also outsized), oversize (or oversized), sizable (or sizeable), substantial, tidy, voluminous
related words astronomical (also astronomic), bumper, c**ernous, colossal, enormous, gigantic, gross, heroic, huge, immense, jumbo, king-size (or king-sized), major, mammoth, massive, monolithic, monstrous, monumental, prodigious, staggering, stupendous, super, tremendous, vast, vasty, whacking, whopping; excessive, exorbitant, extr**agant, extreme, immoderate, inordinate; abundant, ample, appreciable, copious, plentiful; fat, thick; capacious, commodious, roomy, spacious
near antonyms diminutive, microscopic (or microscopical), midget, miniature, minute, pint-size (or pint-sized), pocket-size (also pocket-sized), pygmy, smallish, teeny, teeny-weeny, tiny, wee; petite, slender, slight, slim, thin
2) 书面语和口头语的选择。
在写作过程中,特别是在议**中,为了增强语言的表现力,还要注意书面语和口语的区别,不要总使用诸如if, because, when ,don’t, can’t 等口语意味较重的句子;减少i think, you, we等语言的频率。在下面的几组句子里,第一组的语言表现力就明显弱于第二组。
例1a) if you compare chinese food with western food, you will find the former is much more welcomed in the world.
b) comparison of chinese food with western food shows the popularity of the former one.
例2a) if we only feel child with refined foods, the child cannot be a healthy one.
b) to feed on only with refined foods, the child cannot be healthy one.
例3a) when facing the crisis of economy, most of us will feel gloomy and depressed.
b) the prospect of crisis of economy will make most people feel gloomy and depressed.
例4a) because we don’t work hard in daily time, we failed in the final competition.
b) students all welcome the decision which recognizes their rights.
2. 巧用连接词。
1)避免使用过多简单句;
2)谨慎使用so, and, then, but, or, however, yet 等词。有时使用这些词非但达不到丰富表达的目的,反而使句子结构松散、呆板。
3)可以使用连接词,尤其是一些表示从属关系的连接词,如who, which, that, because, since, although, after, as, before, when, whenever, if, unless, as if等,能够丰富句型,而且还能够把思想表达得更清楚,意义更连贯。
