Writing methods and skills of English composition
The secret of high marks in junior high school English composition is 1. Examine the questions carefully before you start writing. The senior high school entrance examination notes 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. Around the center, the written expression of the outline has four scoring principles: (1) content score; (2) the number of words used and the structure; (3) the accuracy of grammatical structure and vocabulary use; (4) Coherence of context. It can be seen that 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. According to the central idea of the passage, consider how to start, expand and end, imagine several conjunctions connecting the preceding with the following, write down the main sentence patterns and keywords, and form an outline. When writing, avoid disorganized structure, nonsense and serious digression. The written expression has a wide range of contents and diverse topics. It is necessary to find out whether the requirements of the examination questions are to write people, narrate, introduce, comment, charts, letters, diaries, notices and notes, or to write or rewrite abbreviations by looking at pictures. If it is a diary, write down the year, month, day and weather; If it is a letter, pay attention to the format of the letter, and pay attention to the fact that the number of words in the essay cannot be less than or more than the specified number of words. 3. Fluent language and accurate expression (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, such as an in He is an honest student cannot be written as a. 5) Pay attention to spelling, punctuation and capitalization, such as receive, believe, fourteen, forty, ninth, restaurant, etc. Punctuation marks pay special attention to the differences between Chinese and English, such as: Chinese English A. period. . B. Omit .......................................................................................................................................................................... 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, smile, shout, etc. 5) Action description: come, go, get, have, 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) transitional words for coordinate relations: and, and, or……2) transitional words for turning relations: but, yet, how……3 3) transitional words for time relations: first, second, third, then, finally, after, before, a few days later and finally. Later ... 4) Transition words for spatial relations: near (to), far (from), in front, behind, beyond, above, below, to the right, left, on one side, on the other side, outside ... 5) Transition words for comparison: in the same way, just like, just like ... 6) Transition words for comparison: Also, in addition, more, again ... 8) Transition words indicating causality: because, since, then, therefore, otherwise, therefore, result ... 9) Transition words for explanation: for example, in fact, in this case, for actually ...10) Transition words for emphasis: fact. The most important ... 13) indicates the listed transitional words: for example, such as ...13) indicates the summative transitional words: in a word, finally, finally, in a word, as already stated, in a word, in a word, in a word, in a word, in a word ... 4. 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. (1) When the Chinese word meaning can't be expressed in English, you can think of several words that are similar to this Chinese word meaning. Expand your thinking, and then find a substitute with similar meaning from English. This can have the same effect. (2) Small words are widely used. Some meanings in Chinese seem complicated and elegant, but they can actually be expressed by some common words in English. The following words may be very useful in your written expression: take, have, get, make, come, go, do, see, show, be happy, be kind, help and so on. (3) Sometimes words or phrases needed in written expression may appear in other parts of the test paper. Because I have just done the problem, I remember it clearly, so it is easy to use and it is used by me. If you still have time and energy to write better, please pay attention to the following points: (1) sentence patterns are diversified, should I (we) not ... finally, it makes people feel boring. (2) Use some complex sentences or master-slave complex sentences appropriately. (3) When describing people or things further, use attributive clauses appropriately. (4) Use participles or participle phrases appropriately to compare predicate verbs. (5) Use inverted sentences occasionally to add freshness. (6) appropriately change the position of adverbial in the sentence to make the sentence different. (7) When the upper and lower sentences are immediately followed, the same components can be omitted to save space. 6. The handwriting should be neat and clear, so that the reviewers can see it clearly. The handwriting should not be scribbled and illegible, and the paper surface should be kept clean and tidy. 7. After you finish writing, don't forget to check the composition for the senior high school entrance examination. Due to the tight time and many contents, it is inevitable that some students will make mistakes. Therefore, it is very important to correct this link.

(5) Punctuation errors. (6) Whether the employment is improper. Note that it is not appropriate to make big changes on paper at this time, so as not to lose sight of one thing and affect the overall situation.
