中考英语作文范文2命题作文就是我们依据所给题目,确定中心,选择材料,写出符合题意,内容表达具体、充分的文章。
写命题作文通常要注意以下几点:一、审准题目:文章的中心要对题目的分析来确定,一定要弄清主题的内涵,确立与文章联系的主题思想,表达不能游离于主题,否则即使内容再精彩,也是跑题作文,得分将会大打折扣,因此,写命题作文最重要的是先审清题目,确立要表现的中心。
二、构思结构:就是开放思路,启动联想,构想表现形式,勾勒出文章的结构层次,依次写出引言段,主题句,发展段和结尾句,努力使之新颖,别致。
三、选择材料:这一点很重要,一定要围绕想表现的中心去选择组织材料,所选的材料必须典型精要。
四、表达:就是用最确切明了的语言贯穿材料,表达自己的思想,力争用符合英语语法规则。
英语表达习惯,最顺畅自然的词,句,段去表达中心思想,与表现中心无关的话即使再生动形象也不要去写。
就写作的目的表现形式来看,命题作文分为三种形式:1、记叙文类;2、说明文类; 3、议论文类。
下面就谈一谈记叙文的写作记叙文就是以记叙人物的经历或事物发展变化过程为主的一种文章。
在初中写作训练中,记叙文是最基本,最常见,最重要的书面表达形式。
记叙文有六要素即指时间,地点,人物和事件的起因,经过和结果。
一篇记叙文只要把这些要素写清楚,文章就会内容具体, 眉目清晰,中心意思明确。
一般情况下,这六要素中的人物,时间,地点作为开端,要写在文章的开头。
事件,原因常作为记叙文的段落发展,又称为文章的主体部分,应该放在文章的中间。
结果作为记叙文的结局常放在文章的末尾处。

写一篇英语语法的作文Grammar is that part of language that enables us to build sentences and communicate ideas and thoughts to others.The key components of English Language Grammar include Parts of Speech,Grammar Usage,and Grammar Mechanics.Parts of Speech include nouns,verbs,and modifiers such as adjectives,articles,and adverbs.The study of Grammar Usage encompasses correct verb tense usage,compound and complex sentence structure,and other usage issues.Grammar mechanics cover such issues as spelling rules,punctuation,and capitalization.If it's been a long time since you reviewed your grammar basics,it may be time to brush up on your grammar ing grammatically correct sentence structure is important if you want to appear professional and impress the people you deal with.Even if you have a solid understanding of grammatical concepts,there are always finer points to learn.Although knowing formal grammar is not as important in speaking as it is in writing,the more sophisticated sentences you are able to use,the better you can communicate.And communication is the key to success.写英语语法的作文篇二:Languagu itself is one of the great inventions in human history,as great as the discovery of fire,the use of electricity,the invention of computer,etc.Thanks to language,we can talk,argue and sing ,and then a civilized,wonderful world birthed .However,i would prefer to see a beatiful sentence as a kind of art ,like the flaming sun rising in the morning ;the pure world covered by snow in winter ,quiet and peaceful ; a curvaceous girl ,fascinatingly.Language is made up by sentences ,words and some special symbols make up a sentence . But if we put some words and some symbols together randomly ,that will not a sentence .So there must be some rules to organize these words ,that is grammar.A sentence or a article can not show its fascination without grammar .Grammar plays a role of the pillar in a sentence like the trunk of a tree.So we must realize the importance of learning English grammar lacking which any language is ephemeral and doomed .But many students do not pay enough attention to grammar ,because they think grammar is useless and difficult ,they insist that the purpose of learning a foreign language is just to talk and chat and they don't want to be a writer ,so it is not necessary to spend lots of precious time on mastering a boring and nonsense thing .Maybe they are right in some ways .However ,i hold a different opinion .I learn English not only just to talk or chat with people ,but also appreciate it ,i like enjoying beautifull and perfect things .Actually,that is two quite different attitudes :"If you start a job ,just do it perfectly !" someone say ," we can't do everything well ,because our energy ,our power is limited ,so the most important things must come first !" the others disagree .Both are ok ,it is nonsense to argue who is right or who is wrong .In a word ,if you want to touch the quintesence of English ,you must learn grammar well ;if you have the courage to say to yourself / my heart will go on / just to try your best to learn grammer well ,it is not a bad thing to you at least .关于学习英语的英语作文:English is the most important language in the world and it is one of the most important subjects in junior high so we should learn it well.Learning English just like learning other language, is hard work so we should spend lots of time on it every day. We should have good ways of learning English, such as listen to the teacher carefully,review what is learned regularly, prepare each lesson carefully before class, do our homework carefully, copy good sentences and recite themand attend English debbates and speech contests. What's more,it is very useful to listen to English programs and read English magazines and books. When we make mistakes, correct them at once. Don't be shy of asking others for help when we have difficulties. I believe" practice makes perfect". I am sure if we study hard, we will learn English well.关于学习英语的英语作文:Learning english can be a very difficult task for most people, this is because we dont live in a environment where we are forced to speak or write english. so i think the best way to learn english is by communicating with others using the lagnguage itself and not just learn from the book. Im sure if you live in an environment such as a foreign country and were forced to speak and write english everyday then your english will imprve dramatically.Although we must agree that we need to read and write english from the book in order to get the foundations that we need for basic communication, this is essential but as i said, this is only a foundation, what you develop afterwards all depends on your ability to adapt to an environment and your courage.。
英文文章语法修改全文共四篇示例,供读者参考第一篇示例:英文文章语法修改When writing in English, it is important to pay close attention to grammar rules to ensure that your writing is clear, concise, and easy to understand. Incorrect grammar can confuse readers and detract from the overall quality of your writing. In this article, we will discuss common grammar mistakes and how to correct them in order to improve the clarity and accuracy of your writing.Subject-Verb AgreementIncorrect Pronoun UsageRun-On Sentences and FragmentsMisplaced and Dangling ModifiersMisplaced and dangling modifiers are common errors that can affect the clarity of your writing. A modifier is a word or phrase that provides additional information about a subject in a sentence. A misplaced modifier occurs when the modifier is notplaced next to the word it is intended to describe. For example, in the sentence "I found a ring in the garden that belonged to my grandmother," the modifier "that belonged to my grandmother" should be placed next to "ring" to clarify that it is the ring that belonged to my grandmother. A dangling modifier occurs when the word it is intended to describe is missing from the sentence. For example, in the sentence "Walking down the street, the trees were blooming," the modifier "walking down the street" is intended to describe the subject of the sentence, but it is unclear who or what is walking down the street. To correct this, you can rephrase the sentence to make the subject of the sentence clear, such as "As I was walking down the street, I saw that the trees were blooming." Be mindful of the placement of modifiers to ensure that your writing is precise and accurate.第二篇示例:文章标题: Improve Your English Writing Skills: Common Grammar Mistakes to AvoidIn the world of writing, mastering correct grammar is essential in order to communicate clearly and effectively.
