一、书面表达:中考英语里"最可控"的一道题
中考英语书面表达(写作)通常占 15~20 分,是整张试卷中唯一可以从模板和句型入手、稳定提分的主观题。它不像完形填空那样依赖语感和词汇量,只要你做到三件事——格式对、内容全、语言准——就至少能拿到及格以上的分数。
可是考场上常见的情况是:审题花了两分钟,动笔写了十分钟,写完之后卷面上到处是时态错误、Chinese English,最后只拿七八分。问题出在没有"章法"。
这篇文章给你三样东西:审题四步法、两类高频文体的写作模板、可以直接背的提分句型。
二、审题四步:动笔前必须做完
- 定人称:看清题目要你以谁的口吻写。写自己的经历用 I / we;介绍他人或转述用 he / she / they。
- 定时态:这是最容易丢分的地方。
- 介绍学校、家乡、爱好 → 一般现在时;
- 讲述过去发生的事(活动经历、一次旅行)→ 一般过去时;
- 计划、建议、未来打算 → 一般将来时(will / be going to);
- 提建议 → 情态动词 should / had better + 动词原形。
- 定要点:把题目的提示(表格、图片、提纲)逐条编号,每一条就是一段或至少一句话,要点写全比写多更重要,漏一个要点直接扣分。
- 定文体:书信、邮件、通知、演讲稿、日记、说明介绍,格式各不相同。
三、模板一:书信 / 电子邮件(最高频)
结构:称呼 → 开头寒暄与写信目的 → 主体(要点逐条写)→ 结尾期待与祝愿 → 落款。
Dear Tom,
How is everything going? I'm writing to tell you something about ...
First of all, ...
What's more, ...
Last but not least, ...
I hope you will find it useful. I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
要点:称呼后用逗号,落款用 Yours / Best wishes,签名统一写 Li Hua(题目没给名字时)。
四、模板二:通知 / 演讲稿
通知(Notice)要把时间、地点、活动内容、参加对象、注意事项写清楚:
NOTICE
In order to ..., our school is going to hold ... on ... (date) in ... (place).
Everyone is expected to ... Please ...
The Student Union
演讲稿开头:Good morning, everyone! It's my great honour to be here and share something with you about ...
五、提分句型:把简单句写成得分句
写作文不要全是 "I like ... I think ..." 这种短句。学会几个升级句型,语言分立刻上一个档次。
1. 用复合句代替两个简单句
- 简单:I was tired. I kept working.
- 升级:Although I was tired, I kept working.(让步状语从句)
2. 用 It is + adj. + to do / that 句型
- It is important for us to protect the environment.
- It is well known that reading opens our mind.
3. 用 not only ... but also / as ... as / so ... that
- Not only did he help me, but also he encouraged me.(注意 not only 置于句首要用部分倒装,写对就是亮点)
- The book is so interesting that I can't put it down.
4. 用 the more ..., the more ... 比较级结构
- The more we practise, the better our English will be.
5. 用定语从句润色
- I'd like to introduce a place which is famous for its beautiful scenery.
6. 连接词让文章有层次
- 并列:and, as well as
- 转折:however, although
- 因果:because, so, as a result
- 递进:besides, what's more, in addition
- 总结:in short, in a word, all in all
六、范文示例
题目:假如你是李华,你的英国朋友 Tom 想了解你的暑假生活,请给他写一封邮件,介绍你的暑假(不少于 80 词)。
范文:
Dear Tom,
How is everything going? I'm writing to tell you something about my summer holiday.
During the holiday, I spent two weeks reading books, which helped me learn a lot about history. Besides, I took part in a volunteer activity in our community, where I helped the old people clean their rooms. Although I was tired, I felt very happy. What's more, I kept running every morning so that I became much stronger.
In a word, my summer holiday was busy but meaningful. I hope you can share yours with me soon. I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours, Li Hua
七、练习
- 请把下面两个简单句合并成一个复合句: He is young. He knows a lot about computers.
- 翻译:对我们来说,每天坚持读英语是非常重要的。(提示:用 It is ... for sb. to do sth.)
- 假如你的学校下周将举办"英语演讲比赛",请你以学生会的名义写一则通知,内容包括:时间(下周五下午三点)、地点(学校礼堂)、参加对象(全体学生)、注意事项(提前十分钟到场、准备五分钟以内的演讲稿)。
参考答案: 1. Although he is young, he knows a lot about computers. 2. It is very important for us to keep reading English every day. 3. NOTICE — In order to improve our spoken English, our school is going to hold an English Speech Contest at three o'clock next Friday afternoon in the school hall. All the students are expected to take part in it. Please arrive ten minutes earlier and prepare a speech of no more than five minutes. Everyone is welcome. The Student Union
最后提醒一句:写完之后一定要留两分钟检查——检查动词时态、名词单复数、主谓一致、拼写和标点。中考阅卷中,自己的低级错误比自己不会的难点更伤分。把上面的模板和句型抄在本子上,每次写作前先抄一遍结构,练上十篇,你的作文分数一定会有明显变化。
