《英语写作》教学大纲 1．课程的性质和地位 英语写作是人们使用英语互通信息、交流思想的重要手段，在国际交流日益增多的今天，其作用显得更加重要。因此英语写作课程是一门应用性很强的课程。英语写作是一门培养学生运用英语进行写作的专业技能课程。英语写作课的目的在于培养学生初步的英语写作能力，包括提纲、文章摘要、短文以及简单的应用文。对于英语专业的学生，本课程为英语专业基础必修课。通过英文写作课，使学生了解必要的写作基础知识，培养熟练的英语写作能力，包括扩熟练掌握在信息时代用英语进行信息交流能力。 2.课程的任务 写作课是一门能力训练课，它不仅仅是通过理论指导来传授知识，更重要的是它将通过指导学生写作实践训练培养和提高学生用英语写作的实际书面交际能力。在学习本课程结束时，学生应能根据所给题目和写作提纲、图表、数据表等，在35分钟内写出一篇长度为150-200个单词左右的短文，内容切题，结构严谨，条理清楚，语法正确，语言通顺，表达得体；能根据提示在10分钟内写出60个单词左右的应用文；掌握概要、摘要的写作规范和一般要求；掌握读书报告或其他种类报告的书写规范。学生应能够了解英语论文写作，并初步掌握基本修辞方法进行高一级的英语写作。 3.课程教学的基本要求 一年级不开设写作课，写作基本技能训练渗透在综合英语课中。二年级单独开设写作课，要求学生进行从选词到写句子到段落到短文写作等一系列的训练，着重模仿实践。2000年3月颁布的英语专业教学新大纲对英语写作课是这样规定的： 通过写作课，使二年级的学生能在半个小时内根据作文题目、提纲或图表写出长度为200单词左右的短文，内容切题，结构严谨，条理清楚，语法正确，语言通顺，表达得体。同时还能根据提示，在10分钟内写出长度为60个单词左右的应用文，如便条。 此外，还应训练学生掌握各种文体及其篇章结构，如描写文、记叙文、说明文和议论文等。 4.课程的教学改革
英语写作的重要性 几乎所有的英语学习者都很注重听力和口语，如果不是要应付考试，极少有人会尝试进行英语写作。殊不知，光是会溜溜地说而不会写一篇完整的文章，基本上可以算作是半个英语文盲。 我们中国人学英语主要用途是什么？是因为要出国？还是因为要经常和老外face 2 face 的对话？恐怕我们的英语学习人群中最多只有1%的有机会出国，不会超过10%的人有机会和老外直接对话。英语实实在在使用最多的地方还是英文邮件书信往来。尤其涉外工作，则必须具备良好的英语写作能力。 经常进行英语写作练习，将会很好的提高自己的英语逻辑思维能力，同样对提高口语表达能力大有帮助。 英语写作的重要性 几乎所有的英语学习者都很注重听力和口语，如果不是要应付考试，极少有人会尝试进行英语写作。殊不知，光是会溜溜地说而不会写一篇完整的文章，基本上可以算作是半个英语文盲。 我们中国人学英语主要用途是什么？是因为要出国？还是因为要经常和老外face 2 face 的对话？恐怕我们的英语学习人群中最多只有1%的有机会出国，不会超过10%的人有机会和老外直接对话。英语实实在在使用最多的地方还是英文邮件书信往来。尤其涉外工作，则必须具备良好的英语写作能力。 经常进行英语写作练习，将会很好的提高自己的英语逻辑思维能力，同样对提高口语表达能力大有帮助。 英语(论坛)是当今世界上主要的国际通用语言 从全世界来看，说英语的人数已经超过了任何语言的人数，10多个国家以英语为母语，45个国家的官方语言是英语，世界三分之一的人口（二十几亿）讲英语。比如在日本，除了他们的本国母语——日语之外，英语是他们的第二语言，很多高层次的日本人以会说英语为荣。

英语写作试题（一） I. Supply the missing paragraph (20 points) The following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words. Make sure that your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided. Attaining Success in College Succeeding in college is not only important to getting and education, but also crucial in this day and age to success in the work place. To me, the three most important things for attaining a successful college experience are having smart classroom conduct, taking advantage of campus resources, and making college the first priority. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Making good use of campus resources is also of great importance to college success. The school library has many resources for the growth of the students’ mind. With computers and copy-machines for individual use, computer labs and writing labs are there not just for learning purposes but also for actual help with writing papers. The “office hours” will help the students build a close relationship with their professors and give them access to the professors’ mind. From the professors the students can acquire possible extra information that may put them ahead of their study. All these resources are free, since they are funded by student tuitions. So taking good advantage of the resources can only make the students’ education more attainable. Finally, any students who want to assure success must establish school as the top priority. Personally I have watched some students slowly loosen up; I have seen a pattern of partying and a lack of motivation. Many of the freshmen have no idea why they are in college, and their “eyes” often tell it all. This world is so rich in distractions that it is hard to keep a strong focus, especially if one is just starting his or her academic career. It is said that the first semester is often the most “unsuccessful” one. This certainly rings true for me. I made mistakes in this regard and eventually learned that, to achieve success, school must always be placed above other things. In my college experience, I have observed and learned how to achieve success. I wish someone had told me earlier the importance of having that smart classroom conduct, of fully utilizing the school resources, and of making college my top priority. Then, my college beginnings would not have been so rocky and tough. II. Write an outline (20 points) Read the following passage carefully and compose a “topic outline” for it. Smell Smell, as a means of nonverbal communication, is important. Odor communicates not only when we are face to face with another person, but also when the other personis not present. People from different cultures may have different attitudes toward body odors. Most people in the West respond negatively to what they consider bad odors such as body odor, breath odor, or

The media should not report crimes in detail. To what extent do you agree? The issue of whether the media shoul d report crimes in detail, in my view, it is not about amout of crimes are reported, but about whether these crimes are positive or negative influence on individuals. I tend to agree that it will bring an excessive amount of negative effects on audience. There are three main reasons as follows. First, amount of crimes are reported on tel evision will make individuals fear for their safety. If peopl e suppose that there are l ots of dangerous around with them, they will live on the society which can not be trusted by each other, also, their presure will increase which is not necessary.

Most of the formative years of a chil d may imtate the criminal acts. Since they cannot regonise the acts that are good or bad.

Writing A Comparison / Contrast Paragraph AIMS: ordering material using the point-by-point method or the block method improving coherence by using transitional phrases common to comparison/contrast writing taking a step-by-step approach to create comparison/ contrast paragraphs studying model paragraphs to create comparison/ contrast paragraphs Comparison shows similarities between persons, places, things, ideas, or situations. Contrast points out the differences between persons, places, things, ideas, or situations. Two Basic Methods for Organizing Comparison / Contrast Paragraphs 1. If you let A and B stand for the two things (subjects) being compared, then you can use the block method in which you tell all about A, then tell all about B. Thus you discuss A in a block and B in a block. 2. If you let A and B stand for the two things (subjects) being compared, then you compare them point by point.
