An argument, both sides of the argument is always the most powerful. Make an outline, just a simple outline.
Make an outline in four or five minutes at most, unless it is a very abnormal topic that takes a long time to think. When writing a thesis, I don't know what everyone is thinking, but when I write this main sentence, I usually think of examples in my mind.
When writing an example, think quickly about the wording of the ending sentence of this paragraph. When writing the final sentence, think about how to write the main sentence of the next paragraph.
This is faster! Finally, check. Some people have the habit of checking, I don't have this habit, but if you have time, just check grammar, spelling and so on.
Step two. Regarding the writing structure of the article, China's article is an eight-part essay, but in fact, English articles are eight-part essays. This is confirmed by reading foreign papers for nearly a year.
Why do you see foreign things faster and faster now? Mainly because their articles are so clear and easy to understand, the first sentence of each paragraph is the main sentence of this paragraph, then the example sentence and then the ending sentence. Arguments, arguments and arguments are particularly easy to find, so a long article can be read quickly. So I said, write an article like this. They foreigners think this is a good article. If you take the TOEFL IELTS GRE, you have to write like this in order to get a high score.
Therefore, it should be strictly remembered that the structure of an article should be like this: the first paragraph: clearly state the center and have a central sentence; The second paragraph: argument (positive argument) 1. If something is important, why is it important? To give the first reason, this paragraph must have a main sentence! 2. Argument: For example, use practical examples to prove why there is such a reason. 3. Ending sentence: In fact, the ending sentence is the paraphrase of the main sentence of this paragraph. Just say it again in another way! The third paragraph: the second paragraph argument (positive argument) 1. If something is important, why is it important? If you give a second reason, you must have the main sentence of this paragraph! 2. Argument: For example, use practical examples to prove why there is such a reason.
3. Ending sentence: In fact, the ending sentence is the paraphrase of the main sentence of this paragraph. Just say it again in another way! The fourth paragraph: argument three paragraphs (negative argument) 1. Something is important, and nothing will have any bad consequences. To put forward a bad consequence, you must have the main idea of this paragraph! 2. Argument: This is just an example. Give an example of a bad result without this thing. 3. Ending sentence: In fact, the ending sentence is the paraphrase of the main sentence of this paragraph. Just say it again in another way! The fifth paragraph: the ending paragraph: clearly reiterate the center, must, must, must have an ending sentence! The ending sentence is the central sentence of this article. Here, in this structure, the first paragraph must be there, and it must be there in any case! From the second paragraph to the fourth paragraph, you can say as many reasons as possible. There are generally at least two reasons. These two reasons can be one positive and one negative, or two positive. I encourage you to write a negative reason, mainly 1. Consider the number of words; 2. Considering the rigor of argumentation logic.
At the end of the last paragraph, generally speaking, foreign universities can write papers without the ending paragraph, but if they take the TOEFL IELTS GRE, they should try to write the ending paragraph when time permits to make the article more complete. Step three, if the number of words is not enough, the number of words is actually very good. One is that you can spell words with examples, and the other is that you can spell words with positive and negative arguments.
For example, if you write two reasons and find that the number of words in two natural paragraphs is still not enough, you can write an anti-paragraph, turn two paragraphs into three paragraphs, demonstrate an argument and increase the number of words. The fourth step, the revision of the article and the mutual revision of the article will definitely improve. You can modify it yourself or find someone else to modify it.
I usually modify it myself, but I have written a lot, and I have written and written, and there is nothing to change. If you want to revise the article, you'd better form a writing group with a good package at the beginning of writing. Let's write together, write the same topic, pinch time together, practice as a model test every time, and then correct each other. This is more effective.
If you write a different topic, people are not in the mood to read your article, and they are not familiar with your topic, so it is not easy to make good suggestions. As for mutual change groups, there will be such groups now. I have participated in this group for one day before, and I also made a post like others, such as "First work on a certain topic, welcome to approve bricks". I found that either no one changed it or someone else changed it for you in a perfunctory way, mainly in the hope that you would help him.
For such an exchange group, if we can join a very good and interactive group and have a well-organized and active team leader, then we will make great progress. So if you want to attend, find a good one, or don't attend at all.
Step five. There are many examples, collections and encyclopedias of composition arguments on the Internet. Download two or three of these things and just recite a little. Always remember that examples are not the key, but your arguments and the way you demonstrate them. Examples only enrich your argumentation process, and examples don't mean everything. It is wrong to spend 5 hours reciting examples and 30 minutes writing articles.
Recite a bunch of examples and find it useless and useless. Therefore, don't always spend a lot of time visiting forums and collecting examples as an excuse. In fact, you just don't want to write or practice.
You still have to force yourself to write. There are two main sources of general examples: one is the long-term accumulation of extensive reading at ordinary times; Second, in order to cope with the exam, I temporarily downloaded examples from the Internet and memorized them.
You can use both methods to see which is more effective for you. Step six. Your writing is too simple. Don't be afraid of simplicity for superficial things. Simple sentences don't mean that they must be naive.
Some foreign writers have simple things and never use complicated sentences, but what they write has to be admired. So don't try to make your article thoughtful through complex sentences. You know, thoughts are thoughts, and sentence patterns are just appearances.
If you have an idea.
2. How to write a good English composition English writing is an important aspect of language application, and it is also an important means to measure language ability and writing level.
The standard is to see whether the language materials and grammar knowledge can be described in words.
Written language expression is generally divided into three processes: thinking, organizing and expressing. First, think and put what you want to write in your head.
Thinking, this is often an individual and isolated material, which is very messy and trivial; So it is necessary to sort this out and put these ideas.
Make it organized and systematic, but it is still rough, and there may be some improper words or language errors; most
After the expression, carefully scrutinize the sorted materials and put them into words if there is no problem. Pay attention to the subject and predicate when writing.
Want, tense echo, appropriate words, etc. This is writing. The most difficult of the above three processes is the third process, which requires
In order to write, we should have a good knowledge of grammar, a certain number of sentence patterns, idioms and skilled writing skills.
Take out fluent and vivid articles.
In short, improving English writing requires two aspects of training: one is the training of language foundation, which should be solid.
Basic skills such as sentence making and translation, that is, using knowledge of morphology and syntax to make correct sentences; Second, writing knowledge and ability.
Train and master the basic methods and skills of writing.

Secondly, we should strengthen the training of practicing words and making sentences. Words and phrases are equivalent to the building materials of composition. You can't build a good house without good materials.
Son. When you study reading, you should pay attention to collection and accumulation, and take notes on good words, phrases and sentence patterns. Usually in practice
You should also record your own mistakes, and then compare them with the correct sentences, so that authentic English sentences are like conditioned reflex, and it is right to put pen to paper.
Understand the format of English writing, and understand the different genres and formats of English writing. You can see english introduction first.
An introductory book on English writing has a preliminary concept of English writing, such as how to write an argumentative essay, how to put forward an argument and how to show it.
Open, how to determine the central sentence; Another example is the format of English letters, how to write different concluding remarks according to different identities, and then according to
Practice writing in different genres.
Write a diary in English
It is necessary to develop the good habit of keeping an English diary and practicing writing frequently. Keeping a diary in English often means practicing writing every day, which is beyond doubt.
Effective and good methods of English cooperation in senior high schools. When writing a diary, don't always use simple sentences, but consciously use some good ones.
Phrases, sentence patterns, related words and complex sentences make sentences more beautiful and vivid. There are also articles to practice according to the topic or given situation.
It is also very helpful to improve English composition by comparing with the model essay after writing with Peninsula, finding out the gap and then practicing.

This will be convenient and natural.
3. How to write hello in English composition!
First of all, to ensure the correctness of each sentence, we need to master the five basic types of English simple sentences and the usage rules of related verbs; Secondly, we should pay attention to the logic between sentences, that is, master the usage of conjunctions skillfully; Third, we should pay attention to the requirements of words.
1. There are two kinds of opinions: in the first paragraph, there are both positive and negative opinions, and the most one is to write your own opinion. 1-2 sentences introduce the theme, 3-4 sentences describe the pros and cons, and 5 sentences express your own views.
2. Step by step: first draw out the opposing point of view, make a positive evaluation, and then turn to your own point of view.
3. Background method: When it is used to analyze a phenomenon, it should be at least 2 sentences. Causes, consequences and background. The background is introduced in 3-4 sentences, and the last sentence of the first paragraph is summarized in a few sentences.
4. Ask questions: If you want to discuss something, first put the topic in the questioning situation. Answer the questions and express your opinions, summarize the reasons for your opinions/write down the opposing opinions first, refute them, and put forward your own opinions accordingly.
Generally speaking, it is best to write three paragraphs in English composition. The first paragraph points out the theme, the second paragraph discusses and the third paragraph summarizes.
Use advanced vocabulary. The so-called advanced vocabulary is just like happiness. Don't be happy anymore. Accumulate more advanced vocabulary, otherwise the composition will not be outstanding.
Use attributive clauses and other more complicated sentences. Pay attention to the tense when using it.
Recite more famous English words.
Nine differences between Chinese and English compositions
1. Emotional segmentation (Chinese) and logical segmentation (English) first empty out the point of view and cover a natural paragraph.
2. Is the central sentence of the article the reader's experience (Chinese) or the author's explanation (English)-the first paragraph says
3. Is the introductory paragraph (the first paragraph at the beginning) straight to the point (English) or peeled off layer by layer (Chinese)?
The argumentative essay should not be too long, and the first paragraph can only be 3-5 sentences.
4. The topic sentence is (English) instead of (Chinese)
Don't scatter each topic sentence in different places, write it in the first sentence.
5. Linear paragraph (English) or spiral paragraph (Chinese)-why do you say that? 6. Evidence (Chinese) and forensic evidence (English) emphasize facts, data, events of ordinary people and experts in this field. 7. General concreteness (English) or tortuous progress (Chinese)
8. Intra-paragraph coherence: transitional words (English) or repeated meanings (Chinese)
English: formal language Chinese: paratactic language, obviously, as a result, English ultimately depends on the cohesion, lexical connection and grammar of transitional words.
9. Coherence between paragraphs: form and meaning 10. Is the ending part a summary (English) or an explanation (Chinese)?
Learning English takes time, so if we want to learn English well, we should spend a lot of time practicing using English every day. Besides, we should listen to the teacher in class and take notes carefully. Review what you have learned regularly and finish your homework carefully. If we have time, we'd better listen to English radio programs, read English stories and newspapers, watch English movies and TV programs and keep a diary in English. If we make a mistake, correct it immediately and try not to make the same mistake. More importantly, we should look up new words in the dictionary before class and prepare each lesson carefully before class. I believe that if we study hard and have a good way to learn English, we will learn English well. Learning English takes time, so we should spend a lot of time practicing using English every day.

5. How to write English composition exam-oriented strategies
1. exam topic: to the point. "Notes for Senior High School Entrance Examination" points out that written expression should be to the point. How can we get to the point? Is to carefully examine the questions. After seeing the topic, don't rush to write, but read the content required by the topic carefully. Conceive a frame or picture in your mind, determine the central idea of the essay, don't rush to write, understand the meaning of the question, and examine the question according to the information provided by the picture, chart, outline or essay. Format, genre, character relationship, story plot, subject tense, time and place of activities should all be investigated.
2. Circle the key points: to prevent missing the key points. The main point is an important factor in giving points. In order to avoid missing the main points in writing, students should give full play to their observation and list the main points given in the scene one by one.
3. Outline: Prepare for writing. Write down the main sentence patterns and key words according to the central idea of the passage to form an outline.
4. Set the tone: set the tense, person, order, beginning and end.
5. Write the full text: When writing a short essay, you should do the following six aspects:
(1) Avoid Chinglish and try to use familiar sentence patterns. Several sentence patterns can be used interchangeably to avoid repetition and rigidity.
(2) Use simple sentence patterns. Most people don't need complicated sentence patterns to remember and write. You can use declarative sentences, general interrogative sentences, imperative sentences and exclamatory sentences more appropriately. Don't use or use less complicated sentence patterns, such as non-predicates or modal verbs.
(3) Pay attention to the flexible use of grammar and syntactic knowledge.
1) voice and tense should be accurate.
2) The subject and predicate should be consistent, and the person and number of the subject should be consistent with the predicate.
3) Pay attention to the object form of personal pronouns.
4) Pay attention to the usage of articles. For example, an in He is an honest student cannot be written as a.
5) Pay attention to spelling, punctuation and capitalization, such as receive, believe, 14th, 40th, 9th, restaurant, etc.
(4) when describing characters, be vivid and specific, such as:
1) Appearance characteristics: tall, short, fat, thin, strong, weak, looks ordinal, etc.
2) Clothing colors: red, yellow, blue, white, green, brown, black, etc.
3) Inner state: joy, happiness, sadness, excitement, anxiety, interest, etc.
4) Emotional description: like, like, hate, feel, laugh, cry, * * laugh, shout, etc.
5) Action description: e, go, get, have, take, take, take, etc.
(5) Context should be coherent. Coherence of context is also a principle of grading, so students should deal with the written sentences with some transitional words such as juxtaposition and progression according to the story and the sequence of events (time or space) to make the articles coherent, natural and smooth. Students should pay attention to the following transitional usage:
1) indicates the coordinate relationship: and, and, or … 2) indicates the turning relationship: however, however … 3) indicates the temporal relationship: when, while, after, before, then, after … 4) indicates the causal relationship: so, there, as a result … 5) for, for, for.
(6) unable to express, find another way. The composition of the senior high school entrance examination is graded according to the main points and language accuracy, not literary talent. The simpler and more accurate the sentence, the better. Making complex sentences is easy to make mistakes and deduct points. There is a saying on the marking field: "Everyone is equal before mistakes, and good literary talent does not add points." If individual points cannot be expressed or are difficult to express, flexible methods can be adopted to simplify the complex. In short, sentences should be correct and appropriate, in line with English expression habits.
(6) Correct wrong sentences: check carefully and correct mistakes. When writing the senior high school entrance examination, it is inevitable that some students will make mistakes because of the tight time and many contents. Therefore, it is very important to correct this link. The marking of the senior high school entrance examination composition is based on the main points, language accuracy and contextual coherence, and points are deducted according to the number of mistakes. Therefore, it is particularly important to spend a few minutes checking mistakes in the senior high school entrance examination. Check the errors from the following aspects:
1) is not in the correct format.
2) Are there any spelling mistakes?
3) Whether the language is wrong.
4) Tense and voice errors.
5) Punctuation error.
6) Whether the wrong person is used.
6. How to write an English composition 1? The first paragraph is very attractive:
Try to make the first natural paragraph attractive and ensure that "the words are not surprising." In order to do this, students are required to read a large number of extracurricular books, including Chinese and English, so as to have a wide range of knowledge, flexible views and superb writing skills.
2. Phrases and sentence patterns:
In English composition, the use of phrases and sentence patterns can help present the author's English level. This requires students to learn basic knowledge systematically. Now, for example:
Prefer to do> like to do> It can be seen that different types and levels of phrase patterns can show the author's different views and English level.
3. Complex sentences:
It is also necessary to use subject-predicate complex sentences in English writing. There can be no complex sentences in primary school English composition, but since junior high school, complex sentences must be used in writing (at least 1-2). Because, only the subject-slave complex sentences can express more complex views; Only subject-predicate complex sentences can let reviewers see the author's real English level.
4. Conjunction:
Conjunction refers to adverbs, conjunctions and a large number of prepositional phrases used to connect before and after. The necessary use of conjunctions in English composition can make sentences more fluent, avoid the division and independence of each sentence, and make the article logical and coherent. China students have mastered a large number of such words in their studies, but they seldom use them actively except but and because. , making the written article quite dry and abrupt.
5. Tense:
There is no doubt that tense is one of the important categories of English basic knowledge and one of the important characteristics that distinguish it from Chinese. English composition is a test of students' comprehensive ability. Therefore, in the composition, we must add the accurate use of tenses to make our views and narrative plots more accurate. Because there is no concept of tense in Chinese, China students are prone to make mistakes in English tense or ignore the use of events, which will greatly reduce their English composition.
6. Chinese-English translation:
In Lyman's English teaching philosophy, we emphasize the importance of translation training. English-Chinese translation and Chinese-English translation are both essential basic abilities in English learning, or top-notch abilities. Therefore, in English composition, the application of Chinese-English translation skills will undoubtedly help writers to express their views more fully. This kind of translation training is extremely lacking in most textbooks and English classes. Lyman English summed up some intuitive Chinese-English translation skills, which will be arranged to be explained in subsequent lectures.
7. Writing and typesetting:
As we all know, writing and typesetting are the second face of people. The writing and typesetting of a composition directly affects the mood of the reviewers and inevitably affects the final score of the composition.
8. Extracurricular reading and long-term training
Read widely after class, especially some excellent articles, to increase your information. At the same time, we should carry out long-term continuous training through diaries, weekly notes, letters, notes, notices, short messages, proposition writing, etc., and gradually improve our English writing level.
To sum up, English composition is the output of basic knowledge and the embodiment of comprehensive ability. It is a process of accumulating a lot of information and a process of continuous cultivation.
