高分作文秘诀

一、临场应试技巧

1. 字迹。可以不漂亮，但是必须工整。

2. 字数。150字最佳。四级要求至少写120字，但是只写120字，每段平均只有40字，显得太少。有的同学写200甚至300字，又太繁琐。

3. 段落分布。一般写三段，而不要写成两段或者四段。另外，第一段大概写2～3句(如果每句话所含字数少的话，可以写4句，这个根据具体情况来定，后面段落同理)；第二段写5句左右；第三段如果有重点内容则同样写4～5句，如果是总结性段落，写3句即可。

4. 动手写个提纲，把主题句写出即可，理清自己的思路。第一段要写好，尤其是第一句话，一定不能出现语法错误。尽量使用事先准备好的套话，并学会随机应变，针对不同的题目要求来替换。

5. 留出2~3分钟检查。有没有错词或病句；标点符号是否齐全、准确；每一句话是否符合英语的思维习惯，避免语法错误。另外，修改时要注意卷面整洁。

二、高分作文妙招

(一)结构清晰

1.篇章组织

文章是由三个主要部分组成的：开头、扩展部分、结尾。常用的文章发展方法有：列举法、举例法、因果法、比较对照法、分类法、定义法、时间顺序法和空间顺序法。

(1)列举法

列举法是指将数种因素一一列出，如原因、症状、优点、缺点、变化、特点等。常用于列举法的过渡连词有：

① to begin with„, secondly„, besides„, lastly„。

② for one thing„, for another„, finally„。

③ first„, second„, third„, moreover„。

(2)举例法

举例法是通过典型事例对主题进行说明。一般说来，所举的例子要具体，有说服力，有助于说明主题句中的支配思想。常用于举例的词语有：to illustrate, an illustration/an example, for example/for instance, particularly/in particular, such as, like等。 注意列举法和举例法的区别：列举法侧重一一罗列事实，所列事实力求全面。举例法则是通过典型事例解释作者的观点，事例可多可少。

(3)因果关系法

人们在思维活动中，常常由原因推导其结果，或由结果分析其原因，写作中的因果法就是这种思维方式的体现。通常因果法有以下两种模式：

①原因分析型：在主题句中先介绍某一事实或结果，然后对这一事实或结果的原因进行分析。

②结果分析型：在主题句中先点明要讨论的事件或事实，然后分析已经或将要发生的结果。

表示结果的常用词和短语有 therefore, as a result, accordingly, consequently, contribute to, for this reason, lead to, result in 等。

表示原因的常用词和短语有 due to, because of, owing to, because, since, as, on account of, result from 等。

用原因结果分析写作的句式通常有：

① 基本原因，分析某事物时， 用此句型说明其基本的或者多方面的原因。例如： Why„? For one thing„For another„

The answer to this problem involves many factors.For one thing„For another„Still another„

A number of factors, both physical and psychological affect„/both individual and social contribute to„

The reasons for this are as follows„

We have good reason to believe that„

② 另一原因， 在分析了基本原因之后， 再补充一个次要的或者更重要的。例如： Another important factor is„

„is also responsible for the change/problem。

Certainly, the„is not the sole reason for„

③ 后果影响，分析某事物可能造成的后果或者带来的影响。例如：

It will produce a profound/farreaching effect/impact on„

It involves some serious consequence for„

(4)比较、对照法

比较、对照法是通过比较两个事物或一个事物的两个方面的相似点或不同点来支持主题句。比较是阐述所比对象的相同、类似方面；而对照则是阐述其不同甚至相反之处。 比较、对照的写作方法通常有以下两个模式：

① 先阐述甲方，再阐述乙方，即：甲1,甲2,甲3„„乙1,乙2,乙3„„

② 两方同时阐述，逐条比较，即：甲1,乙1;甲2,乙2;甲3,乙3; „„

常用来表达比较和对照的词语有：

① 比较相同点时常用的词语：like, same, in the same way, similar to, similarly„, both„and„, alike, neither„nor„, in common 等。

② 对照不同点时常用的词语：unlike, be different from, differ from, on the other hand, in contrast, while, instead, whereas 等。

比较、对照的写作句式通常有：

① 两者比较， 比较两事物， 要说出其一超过另一个， 或肯定一事物的优点， 也肯定其缺点。例如：

The advantages gained from A are much greater than the advantages we gain from B。

Indeed, A carries much more weight when compared with B。

There is no doubt that it has its negative effects as well as positive effects。 Compared with A, B„

② 两者相同/相似，比较两事物都有或者都没有的特点。例如：

A and B have several things in common.They are similar in that„

A bears some striking resemblance(s)to B。

(5)分类法

分类法是按一定标准对事物进行归类的一种段落发展方法。通过分类，使文章脉络一目了然。用分类法写作时，常用的词语有：

① to divide„into„, to classify„into„, to fall into, to distinguish 等； ② kinds, types, sorts, groups, categories 等；

③ according to, in terms of, depending on, on the basis of 等；

④ to subclassify, to subcategorize, to subdivide 等。

(6)定义法

借助已知的词语和知识，对某个抽象概念、专门术语或容易引起误解的事物进行解释，阐明其性质和特征，这种发展段落的方法叫定义法。定义法一般只用于说明文，有时也用于议论文。

定义法发展段落的基本模式是：定义+扩展部分。扩展部分展开叙述有关方面的内容，如被定义物的来历、性质、结构、特征、原理和用途等。

(7)时间顺序法
