一、英语写作训练的要点
英语写作最重要的一点是用英语思维进行写作。
通病：习惯于先把作文翻译成汉语，然后逐字翻译成英语。
在理解和使用英语词汇时，要注意英语和汉语在意义上的不同。
所以我们在从事英语写作训练的时候：
1.
要明确英语写作的意义。
2.
要学习和掌握必要的写作理论。
3.
要通过大量的阅读，新概念第二册比较适合。
写提纲的好处：
1.
可以扩大思路
2.
可以按次序排好素材
3.
将文章分成段
4.
明确写作的中心思想

文章的三个部分

Letter of Apology
道歉信
由于未
能及时赴约，给老师写一封道歉信，解释原因请求原谅同时提出希望下一次约会。
You have made an appointment with your
teacher, but failed to keep it. Write a letter to
your teacher to
1) Apologize for your failure to keep the appointment,
2) Explain your reason to your teacher, and
3) Express your wish to make another appointment.
Dear Prof. Wang,
I
’
m writing to ask you to excuse me for not being able to keep our appointment. I do know that this is very impolite
and must have
caused you much trouble.
I do reckon that at present any explanation is pale and futile. However I do not want you to misunderstand me. On my
way to your office, an old
lady suddenly fainted due to heart attack on the
bus. I stopped a taxi and sent her into a
nearby hospital. I stayed
there until her son came, which spoiled our
appointment.
I am aware that our appointment is of importance. I do hope that you would be kind enough to spare your valuable to
meet me.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely Yours
Li Ming

First of all, please allow me to say
“
Thank you
”
to all of you. It is very kind of you to spare your valuable time
during the period of final examinations
and come to see me.
Your visit has given me much confidence and power to overcome the illness. When I first came to the hospital, I really
felt lonely and did not have enough
courage and confidence to overcome the illness.
Your visit has made me feel that I am
not poor and lonely in the
world and in fact I am living in a world of love,
which has brought me much confidence and
power to overcome the
illness.
These days, my condition has been obviously improved due to the careful treatment offered by doctors and nurses.
Doctors
have told me that I will completely recover from
illness in two weeks. I hope that I can see you
earlier.
Again, special thanks go to all of you.
Sincerely Yours
Li Ming
