从遣词,造句,谋篇三个方面分析
遣词的原则:
使用高等级词汇及短语,如果仅仅记住几个简单基础的词汇,而且一味的重复低水平的英语知识点,还远远没有达到大学的入学要求。这就要求考生在平时的训练和考试当中,有意识的强化“复杂,高级”这两个概念,使自己的作文能力区别于普通学生的作文,使自己一下子就站在一个比别人高的位置上,充分显示自己的实力。平时学习过程中注意总结各种各样的词汇。以描述人物的词汇为例:
表达人物爱憎感情:like, love, be interested in, be fond of…hate, dislike, be tired of, lose interest in…happy, excited, pleased, satisfied, angry, sad, worried, disappointed, terrified, mad, frightened…
介绍人物的影响及人们对人的评价:He became famous for his new theory. The people had come to love him as an inspiring leader. We regard Li Fei as our model. Lei Feng has been praised for his communist spirit. People spoke highly of him and all respected him.
常见描述人物性格,外貌和身体状况等的词语good-looking /funny-looking /strong-looking /ugly-looking /dirty-looking /ordinary-looking /blue-eyed /white-eyed /warm-hearted /light-hearted /kind-hearted/near-sighted /far-sighted /foolish /stupid /silly /clever /smart /wise /bright / diligent /intelligent /lazy /hard working, etc.
造句的原则:
句式多变,语法活用,句子是表达一个完整意思的最小当位,所以造句能力在英文写作中是非常重要的。好的英语句子能够生动,形象,准确的表达内容。所以要想写出漂亮的书面表达,必须从写好句子开始。

谋篇的原则:
满分作文都有个共性就是有效地使用了语句间的连接成分,使全文结构紧凑。文章的连贯性和紧凑感是很重要的。句子作为最小的表达意思的语言当位如果只是被随意的整合,是无法达到有效表达的目的。常见的句子之间的连接手段有:使用代词指代上一句中的名词重复使用上一句中的词使用连接词使用平行结构高考大纲中常用的连接词:
表并列补充关系的: what is more, besides, also, as well, moreover, furthermore, in addition,
表转折对比关系的: but, however, yet, instead, on the other hand, on the contrary, although, different from, in contrast to, despite, in spite of, whereas, unlike, nevertheless, not only…but also, here…there, years ago…today, this…that, the former…the latter, then…now, the first…whereas the second, once…now, on the one hand…on the other hand, some…others,
表因果关系的: since, as, because (of), for, so, thus, therefore, as a result, so that,
表条件关系的: if, on the condition (that), as long as, unless, or else,
表时间关系的: when, after, before, until, as soon as, later, afterwards, soon, lately, recently, since, from then on, eventually, in the meantime, then, suddenly, at the same time, next, early this morning/year/century, after an interval, now, after, presently, later, afterward, somewhat later, finally, at last, all of a sudden,
表特定的顺序关系: above all, first of all, firstly, first, secondly, the , next, finally, in the end, at last,表换一种方式表达: in other words, that is to say, to put it another way,
表进行举例说明: for instance, for example, like, such as,
表陈述事实: in fact, actually, as a matter of fact, to tell you the truth
表总结: on the whole, in short, all in all, general, in a word, in conclusion, in closing, in summary.等等。
还有分词短语、复合句等。特别要注意谓语用什么基本时态以及前后的时态呼应,注意句子与句子之间的有机联系,段落与段落之间的自然过渡。这样既能显示出你的高中水平,又能使文章层次清楚,文理通顺、结构严密紧凑,衔接自然。这样只要要点全,准确无误,语句通顺流畅那就是高水平、高档次的作文。
