1．多多背词。背诵量与写作水平成正比。建议最好背几篇近几年的高考试题范文，如写人背06年北京题王珊个人简历，写事背08年天津题地铁上的一件事，写议论背05年全国试题北京动物园是否应迁出市中心，写地方背06年全国试题介绍学校的图书馆。

2．首先练好五个基本句型。这五个基本句型是：

A．主语+谓语　The story happened yesterday.

B．主语+谓语+宾语　They study English.

C．主语+系动词+表语　They are from London.

D．主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语　She made Tom stand there.

E．主语+谓语+双宾语　I gave Tom a book.

3．开始练写作应从记叙文练起，如写人写事。写人写事的常用句型要记熟，如：

写人：

(1)他被认为是最好的学生之一。

He is regarded as one of the best students.

(2)他闲暇时经常听音乐。

He usually listens to music in his spare time.

(3)他的爱好是篮球。

Basketball is his hobby.

(4)他毕业于第八中学。

He graduated from No. 8 Middle School.

(5)他曾获英语竞赛第一名。

He once got the first place in the English competition.

(6)他友善并且随和。

He is kind and easy­going.

写事：

(1)故事发生在伦敦。

The story happened in London.

(2)起初，他没看见那个人。

At first，he didn’t see the man.

(3)然后，他走到汽车那儿。

Then he went over to the bus.

(4)过了一会儿，他上了小汽车。

After a little while，he got into the car.

(5)后来，他掏出了枪。

Later on，he took out his gun.

(6)最后，他被捕了。

At last，he was arrested.

4.经常写随笔。写的能力是练出来的，不是靠学语法规则能掌握的。要每天写几句，写自己想写又能写的东西。出点错误也没什么，写多了错误自然就少了。很多同学钻研单选的时间远远大于写作的时间，这实在是误入歧途，不懂高考。
