笔者从2015年开始一直从事高三英语教学,并且分别于2017年和2018年参加高考英语作文评卷工作,对于指导学生如何写出一篇高分乃至满分英语作文积累了一定的经验。本文将通过展示具体的写作模式和给出相应的写作范例,对书信体作文的开头、主体段和结尾段的写作技巧进行探讨,以帮助广大考生提高英语写作水平。

写作模式

首先,好的开始是成功的一半。

书信体作文的开头段一定要展示精彩的语言表达,吸引评卷老师的眼球。开头段的功能就是点明写作目的,同时考虑是否需要进行自我介绍。以下是几种不错的开头句或一些点明写作目的时可能用得上的短语:

1. 自我介绍

如果相互不熟,需要自我介绍。可参考以下句式:

I am Li Hua, a senior three student from China / chairman of the Students Union.

I am Li Hua, a senior three student who would like to do sth/feels it a great honor to do sth.

2. 吸引眼球的写作目的

More than delighted to learn that you... , Im writing to... /in the hope that...

Words fail to convey my... when news comes that... . I am writing to... /in the hope that...

Knowing from...that... , I am writing to... /in the hope that...

3. I am writing to... 后可能使用的短语

(1)offer some advice/suggestions about...(提供关于……的建议)

(2)ask for your help(请求帮助)

(3)do you a favor(帮你)

(4)ask for further/specific/detailed information(询问进一步/具体的/详细的信息)

(5)recommend sth(推荐某物)

(6)make a brief introduction to...(简单介绍)

(7)apply for the job/post;apply to join you(申请得到岗位;申请加入你们)

(8)apologize(to sb)for(doing)sth(因为某事向某人道歉)

(9)complain (to sb) about...(向某人投诉什么)

(10)congratulatesb on(doing)sth.(祝贺某人某事)

然后,中间主体段可视题目要点进行分层表述。

段首句进行总括,接下来分两点或者三点分层表达。这样写的目的一则使主体段结构清晰和层次分明;二则可以让主体段的上下文联系紧密,要点表达自然顺畅。具体语句展示如下:

总括句:Below are the details / reasons / suggestions / detailed requirements...

分两层:For one thing,.... For another, ... .

分三层:Above all/To begin with,.... Besides/In addition, ... Eventually/Last but not least, ... .

注意:Below is the detailed information you need to provide. (需要对方提供信息)

Below is the detailed information I would like to provide.(提供信息给对方)

最后,结尾段的书写必须视题目交代的写作目的而定,注意与首段呼应。例如,如果是求助信,就务必感谢对方;如果是建议信,就要请求对方考虑自己的建议。

1.求助信,表示感谢。

I would fully appreciate it if you could ... . Looking forward to your early reply!

2.其他信,不用感謝。

It is my sincere hope that you will ... . Your prompt attention to my writing will be highly appreciated!

3.不超字数,可以写。

If you have any question, do feel free to ask me.

范例展示

2018年全国I卷英语作文范例展示:

1. 到达时间;

3. 餐桌礼仪。

注意:

1. 词数100左右;

2. 可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。

开头段:

More than delighted to learn that you will pay a visit to a Chinese family, I am writing to offer some suggestions about it.

主体段:

To begin with, you are expected to arrive fifteen minutes earlier so that the family wont wait and you can chat with them to know about the Chinese lifestyle. In addition, it is kind of you to prepare and present a delicate gift, which shows that you really care about them. Gifts like flowers and fruits are appropriate. Last but not least, you should mind the table manners when dining. Not until the host begins to eat can you enjoy the food. When the host picks up food for you, do remember to express your gratitude.

结尾段:

It is my sincere hope that you will find my advice useful and helpful. If you have any question, do feel free to ask me.

Last but not least, in order to help you learn better, I am wondering if you can learn about the history of the Tang Dynasty in advance.

結尾段:

It is my sincere hope that you will make full preparations for it. If you have any question, do feel free to ask me.

英语写作能力很一般的同学,可以通过熟背以上英语写作表达和灵活掌握开头段,中间主体段和结尾段的写作技巧来提升书信体作文写作能力。英语作文的提升过程可以通过抄袭、模仿、创新三个步骤来实现。在缺少很扎实的英语写作功底的背景下,掌握技巧和方法不失为提高英语卷面分数的一条捷径!
