英語作文在考試中占有很重要的地位。相對(duì)于其他題型，英語作文最容易在短期內(nèi)有所突破。英語作文在評(píng)閱時(shí)遵循語言第一位（語言高級(jí)），內(nèi)容第二位（要點(diǎn)齊全），結(jié)構(gòu)第三位（文章分段）的原則，一起來學(xué)習(xí)一下英語作文應(yīng)該怎么寫吧。
第一篇
你叫李平，是英語系學(xué)生會(huì)主席。寫一封信給王教授，請(qǐng)他做一個(gè)有關(guān)中國歷史的報(bào)告。注意信中要包括目的、時(shí)間、日期和地點(diǎn)。

第二篇
男女應(yīng)該平等嗎？(Should Men and Women Be Equal?)
Should Men and Women Be Equal?
People have different ideas about this issue, Some people say that men are superior to women in ability because men are physically stronger, do most of the hard labor in the world and hold most important positions. Other people believe that women have the ability to compete with men. There have been many famous women state leaders and great scientists in the world. We should fully carry out the principle “to each according to his work” so that the enthusiasm of both men and women for work can be fully aroused.
第三篇
1．在中國，自行車是最為流行的交通工具。
2．騎自行車有許多好處。
3．自行車的未來……
The Bicycle in China
The bicycle is the most popular means of transportation in China. China is a country “on bicycle wheels”. People ride them for various purposes such as going to and from school and work. Bicycles are very cheap and easy to buy in China.
There are many advantages to riding a bicycle. First, using a bicycle can greatly help reduce the air pollution in many big cities. Second, people can improve their health by riding a bicycle.
The future of bicycle will be bright. In some European countries, city governments have arranged pedestrians to use “public bicycles” to travel round the city center free of charge.
肯定不如否定好
修辭的使用在書面表達(dá)中算作很大的亮點(diǎn)，雙重否定也是種修辭，而且對(duì)于考生來說，只要稍加注意，可以在文章中設(shè)計(jì)雙重否定的句子。
例如想表達(dá)“郵遞員天天準(zhǔn)時(shí)到”，如果寫成The postman comes on time every day，就不如變成雙重否定，The postman never fails to come on time，就變成了亮點(diǎn)句，起到強(qiáng)調(diào)作用。
“幾乎每個(gè)人對(duì)生活的態(tài)度都不同程度受到地震的影響”，寫成雙重否定There was hardly a man or a woman whose attitude towards life had not been affected by the earthquake.
主動(dòng)不如被動(dòng)巧
在近些年的閱卷中，發(fā)現(xiàn)考生在寫作中很少使用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，也許是受中文思維的影響，幾乎整篇文章都使用主動(dòng)語態(tài)。其實(shí)在英文中，被動(dòng)語態(tài)的使用是很重要的。英語是一門客觀的語言，而漢語是主觀的語言，具體體現(xiàn)則是：英語經(jīng)常用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，而漢語經(jīng)常用主動(dòng)語態(tài)；
英語中經(jīng)常用物稱或形式主語開頭，強(qiáng)調(diào)一件事發(fā)生在什么人身上，而漢語經(jīng)常用人稱開頭強(qiáng)調(diào)一個(gè)人發(fā)生了什么事。所以使用被動(dòng)語態(tài)更符合英語的習(xí)慣。
廣泛閱讀，拓展知識(shí)積累
“熟讀唐詩三百首，不會(huì)作詩也會(huì)吟”。在大量的閱讀過程中，可使學(xué)生開拓視野，拓展知識(shí)，增加語感，為寫作提供必要的語言材料。寫作和閱讀是互相促進(jìn)、相輔相成的。有些詞匯和句型，學(xué)生只是似曾相識(shí)，通過廣泛的閱讀能促使學(xué)生把這些東西運(yùn)用得更熟練，表達(dá)得更準(zhǔn)確。反過來，這也會(huì)有效地提高學(xué)生的閱讀理解能力。
