一. Leading in
T: In this class we are going to talk about how to write a good composition, or how to make your composition better so as to get a good mark in a examination especially in the National College Entrance Examination.
T: First, please look at two groups of the sentences on the blackboard. Compare :Write the sentences on the blackboard. 1. A: The rat got drunk.
B: Then he took a stick in his hand and started to attack a cat. 2. A: Tom is a boy.
B: He is seven years old.
C: He was watching TV in the living room when he heard a terrible noise. D: Then he rushed out immediately.
E: At last he found it was just a daydream.
T: Well, please tell me what you think of these sentences. How do you judge them? They seem to be ... funny? Just funny?
Please judge them from the angle of the sentence structure. They seem to be... Yes ,simple .
If you use such sentences in your composition in the coming National College Entrance Examination , do you think you can get a good mark?
No, certainly not.
T: Now please join the sentences in each group to make one better sentence. You may work in pairs, or in groups.
Then I’ ll ask some of you to report your answers.
T: OK, I‟m glad that you‟ve thought actively and had a heat discussion. Please have a look at my answer (write the answer on the blackboard.)
Blackboard: 1. With a stick in his hand, the rat, who got drunk, started to attack a cat.
2. Hearing a terrible noise, Tom, a seven-year-old boy ,who was watching TV in
the living room, rushed out immediately, only to find it was a daydream.
二. Grammar
T: Compared with the previous ones, which seem to be better?
If your composition is short, simple or plain, do you know how to make it natural, logical and different from others so as to attract the readers, especially the examiner . That is exactly what we are going to talk about in this class.
如何使书面表达 显出文采;展示个性;亮而出众
(一)Try to avoid mistakes
T: Please correct the following mistakes which might usually appear in your composition. A: “缺胳膊少腿”型:
(1)( 缺少主语): But was 6 o’clock.(was前加it )
T : Let‟s look at the first one .What‟s wrong with this sentence ? Right .It‟s lack of subject and we should put “it” in front of “was”.
(2)( 缺少谓语):However, other students against the idea. (against前加are)
T: What about the second one ? Good . It‟s lack of predicate we should put “are” before “against”.
(3)( 缺少宾语 ):He seated on the grass.(seated后加 “himself” 或在”seated”前加
“was”)
T: How about the third one ? What‟s wrong with it ? Terrific . It‟s lack of object .Who‟d like to tell us how to correct it ? Very good. We should put “himself” before “on ”.Or we can put “was” in front of “seated”. B:“画蛇添足”型:( pair work )
T: Next ,please have a look at the following sentences and try your best correct each of them . You may work in pairs . Then let’s check the answers together . (1) 语意重复:He returned back yesterday.(back)
T: How to correct this one ? Right ,the word “back” should be omitted .
(2) 谓语重复:But there are 60% of the students are against the idea of entrance fee. (去掉there are,或在 are 前加关系代词who;)
T: Now let’s come to the second one . What do you think we should do to correct this sentence ? Quite right ,“there are” should be omitted or we can add “who” before the second “are”.
(3) 多宾语(或宾语不恰当):He dressed his clothes quickly. (去掉his clothes,或把his
clothes 改为 himself;)
T: How to correct the last one ? Well done. We can omit “his clothes” or use “himself ” to replace “his clothes ”. C. “张冠李戴”型:
1).误用主语。Don‟t worry. Your body will get well soon. (your body→you )
T: OK .Please look at the first sentence . Who‟d like to tell us how to correct it? Volunteers! Right ,in the second sentence the subject is misused .We should use –“you” to replace “your body” .
2). 误用谓语。The time past quickly. (past→passed)
T: How to correct this one ? Right ,the word “past” is wrong .It‟s the PP. form of “pass” , so it can‟t be used as predicate here .It should be replaced by –“passed” .
3). 误用宾语. I was so pleased to hear from your letter. (your letter→you; hear from----receive)
T :Let’s come to the third one . In this sentence ,the Object “your letter” is misused .The correct form should be ---- Yes , “you” .Or ,we can use “receive” instead of “hear from”. 4). 误用表语. The price of my car is very expensive. (expensive→high) T: How to correct this one ? Right, The price is “high” but not “expensive” 5). 误用定语. China has a more population than Japan. (more→larger )
T: How about the fifth one ? Right, “population” should be modified by “larger” but not “ more”.
6). 误用介词. The thief ran away to the direction of the coast. ( to→in)
T: Now ,let’s have a look at the last one . What do you think we should do to correct this sentence ? Quite right ,the prep. “to” is wrong .The correct form should be “in”. “ In the
direction of” is a fixed structure . D. “Chinglish.”型。( Class work ) Eg .高考: “High exam”
T: Next , let’s take a look at this phrase . Is it right ? This is a typical “Chinglish.”The correct form is National College Entrance Examination .
T: Please look at the following sentences and judge whether they are standard English .If not ,please give the correct form .You may discuss in pairs for a moment .Then let’s check the answer . 1).The hope of our parents is very high. (→Our parents expect too much of us。)T: The correct form should be--- Our parents expect too much of us。 2).His right eye is blind. (→He is blind in the right eye。)
T: How to correct this one ? The correct form should be-----He is blind in the right eye。 E.“瞻前不顾后”型。( Individual work ) 1).Although he was very tired ,but he went on working in the office.(→Although, but either one is OK)
T: How to correct this one ?Volunteer ! Right, “Although” or “but” either one is OK.
2).On one hand ,60% of the students are against the idea,but 40% of the students think it is reasonable。(→but 后加On the other hand 与前面的 On one hand 对应)
T : Please have a look at the second sentence .Who can tell us how to correct it ? Excellent work.在“ –but” 后加“On the other hand” 与前面的 “On one hand” 对应 This is a fixed structure “On one hand… On the other hand.” F.“生搬硬套” 型。
There used to have an old church here.(have→ be)
T : Please look at this sentence. The correct form should be: There used to be…… ●*Judge whether the following sentences are right or not.
a. The old lady had three sons, all of them killed in the war.(Right,独立主格结构 ) b. Although he was very tired ,yet he went on working in the office . (Right)
T: What about the second one ? Volunteers ! It’s also right .Although不可与but 连用,但可与yet连用。

mountainous areas and today we had to cut a tunnel through a mountain (开凿出一条隧道) . But we were just about to start when the electricity was cut off( 切断). And when I went back home I met the woodcutter once again .He was now standing by a fallen tree ,cutting it up(劈碎).I stopped and we started chatting ,when a stranger cut in(插嘴). 如能巧短句,其效果可胜过千言万语。 E. g. What a day (boy )!
How nice ! etc . (七)避生就熟,进行“曲线”表达
巧用思维拐弯法。当表达某一意思有困难时,巧用常用词语或自己熟悉的词语来进行表达,可达到同样效果,又可避免出错。在表达过程中,应选用自己熟悉的和有把握的词汇及句型,千万不能自己去创造或生搬硬套汉语式的句子。如果遇到确实难以回避的内容,一时又想不起确切的表达法,那就要“拐弯抹角”地去表达,尽量找同义或近义的词语或句型来代替,英语有句谚语:“All roads lead to Rome.”这样既可节约时 间又可避免犯大的错误。
Please think: How to say “人山人海”in English ? Eg. 1.“是公众休闲的地方。”
既可用复合句:People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themselves.
也可用简单句:People need a place to have a rest and enjoy themselves.或:Park is a good place for people to relax and enjoy themselves in. “游客纷至沓来”
⑴A large number of visitors come here.
⑵There are lots of visitors coming here every day. ⑶Many people visit here every day.
⑷A lot of people pay a visit here every day.
(八)多种表达法交替使用
如:喜欢 可以用like ,love ,enjoy ,be fond of ,be into ,be keen on ,take to ,go in for ,go for ,My favourite …is 等多种方式表示,可避免重复,单调,显出你具有较强的驾驭语言的能力。 Practice . 一句多译
Put the following sentence into English in alternative ways . 一到家,我就把所见到的一切都记了下来。
T: Please put the sentence into English, using as many structures as you can .For
example ,we can use Prep. +v -ing , conjunction and so on . Ok ,put your answers on your exercise book .
Then I’ll ask some you to report your answers . Are you clear ? Suggested answers :
On/Upon arriving home, I wrote down everything I had seen. As soon as I arrived home, I wrote down everything I had seen.
The moment/ The instant I arrived home ,I wrote down everything I had seen. Hardly had I arrived home when I wrote down everything I had seen. No sooner had I arrived home than I wrote down everything I had seen.
三.书面表达六步法
书面表达 审 抓 扩 审题:明确体裁,掌握格式 文字信息;图画信息;题材、人称、时态、要点 抓住要点,一 一对应。以词及点:用一两个单词或短语写出每句话的细节要点。 选词造句,点石成金。 联词成句:用联词成句的方法将上述要点 的词语扩展成句子。 连 改 联句成文:注意:①主语和谓语 ②背景(适当增加时间、地点条件等) ③逻辑关系 ④开头与结尾 ⑤语篇衔接 检查修改 检查文章中的拼写和标点错误、语法错误逻辑错误等;检查词数是否符合要求;检查内容要点是否全面,删繁就简,使表达更加精炼,措词更加恰当。 誊写工整 定稿后应认真誊写,要求书写规范、正确、美观,并保持卷面整洁。 抄
