英语写作基础知识要点
1 写作教与学入手的四个方面●Mechanics of writing：标点符号、大小写、页面格式及基本的语法问题（如主谓一致问题等）；●From words to sentences (遣词造句);●From paragraphs to whole compositions（段落及全文谋篇布局）；●Academic and practical writing2 英语段落的三个基本特质：（P81 Two basic qualities of effectiveparagraphs）全段围绕一个中心思想展开（Unity）；句与句之间的联系与过渡要紧密、自然或合乎逻辑（Coherence/Cohesion）；发展充分（Well-developedness）。
也就是说，一个好的只有一个主题，所有句子在意义上始终保持统一，紧紧围绕这一主题展开；段落结构组织合理、顺畅，句与句之间的联接与过渡自然、顺理成章；整个段落能够充分地表达这一主题思想，内容上没有任何残缺。
3 段落的结构与发展3.1 段落的结构段落是由若干个彼此关联的句子构成的，通常用以表达一个中心思想或者从一个角度对文章的主题进行阐述。
因此，段落不能是一组句子的任意堆砌，而是遵循一定段落发展方法的。
当然, 这并不是说，所有的段落都遵循着相同的、固定的模式。
在读、写实践中，我们会遇到一些段落，只有一两句话，在文中起承前启后的过渡作用或扮演导言或结束语的角色。
但，我们遇到的大多数句子并不是这样，它们在内容上比较丰富，结构较为复杂。
以下所讲，就是一般的英语段落的结构。
结构完整的段落由三部分组成：主题句（Topic sentence）、发展句（Supporting sentences）和总结句（Concluding sentence）；一个段落的一般长度为：4-8个句子请读下面这一段文字，注意其结构：Different people go to universities for different reasons.Some people go to a university for specialized training. They go to learn about medicine or law or engineering or nursing and so on to prepare for particular jobs. Other people go to a university to learn as much as they can about the world and the people around themselves. Still others go to a university because they want the honor of a university degree. And, of course, there are some people who go to a university because they have nothing else to do. It is clear that different people expect different things from a university education.3.1.1 主题句主题句通常由主题和作者的观点两部分组成，作为段落传递信息的出发点，简明扼要地告诉读者段落的线索和范围。

People who work and study far away from their homes come back. They tell each other about their work and life, exchange gifts and eat lots of delicious food with their family members.Spring Festival is also a great time to visit one’s friends. During the holiday, many people go to see their friends andshare their interesting stories or work experiences. Students love to go out with their former classmates and enjoy talking about their life. Many students also like to visit their teachers and wish them a happy new year.However, there are times during the Spring Festival when it’s nice just to be by yourself. You can read novels that you never seem to have time to read at school. Y ou can watch your favorite TV programs at home. Y ou can have a quiet walk in your neighborhood or in a park nearby and think about your busy life. Spring Festival is an enjoyable time for everyone.III (For reference only)A proverb says, “Time is money.” But in my opinion, time is even more precious than money because when money is spent, we can earn it back; but when time is gone, it will never return.Thus we must value time.Time passes very quickly. Some students say they do not have enough time for all their lessons. Actually they do not know how to make use of their time. They spend their precious time smoking, drinking, chatting, playing games and doing other useless things. They don’t realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life.Today we are living in the twenty-first century. We knowthat time is life. When a person dies, his time has ended. Since life is short, we should devote our time and energy to our studies so that we will be able to serve our country and society. We should form the habit of saving time. We shouldn ’t put off what can be done today till tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.。

英语写作基础知识普及
英语写作基础第一章英语写作常识与规范第一节标点符号1．顿号“、”英语没有顿号，一般用逗号取代。
如:This kind of machine is widely used in India, Russia，the U。
S.A。
and China。
(这种机器在印度、俄罗斯、美国、中国广泛应用.)2．书名号汉语书名号为《》，表示书籍、报刊等名称。
英语中不用书名号，而是用斜体字表示,以区别于印刷体；但打字或书写时，因没有斜体字，便在书名或刊名下划一横线。
例如：I often read the newspaper——-New York Times。
（我经常阅读《纽约时报》这份报纸。
)3．句号英语的句号是是实心的小圆点，即“。
”，常用于陈述句和祈使句之后。
而汉语的句号是空心圆圈，即“。
”。
4．冒号英语中的冒号一般只用来对主句进行说明、引申、解释等等，汉语中除有上述相似用法外,更多用于直接引语的说明及一般函件的开头语.例如:The year is divided into four seasons: spring，summer，autumn and winter。
(一年分为四季：春、夏、秋、冬.）5. 逗号“,”在英语中，引起直接引语的说明以及一般函件开头的称呼语等一类用语后都用逗号，而不象汉语那样用冒号。
（但美国用冒号）。
逗号是英文写作中最常用的标点符号.对中国学生而言,也是最容易出错的地方。
因为以中国人写作的思维，只要一句话意思没完,便要用逗号，而对于英文写作，只要句子结构完整便要用句号.例如：逗号误用：I set out for the biggest bookstore in town, at the school gate I saw a girl of my class, she was going there，too, we decided to go together, we walked，the bookstore was not far away。

Hardly had Mary left college when she realized she was expecting their first child.4. The Director looked very pale at the meeting, as though he had just received some very bad news.5.

John was not offered the job despite the fact he was the best applicant.Key to Task 2 (p8)There are ten mistakes in the following passage, find the out and correct them:One might wonder why, after the Norman Conquest, French did not become the national language, replacing English entirely. The reason is that the Conquest was not a national migration, as the earlier Anglo-Saxon invasion had been. Great numbers of Normans came to England , but they came as rulers and landlords. French became the language of the court, the language of ？nobility, the language of polite society, the language of literature. But it did not replace English as the language of the people. There must always have been hundreds of towns and villages in which French was never heard except when visitors of high station passed through.Key to Task 3 (p8)Here is a short story from which some verbs have been omitted. Fill the blanks with verbs which you find appropriate in the context.The post war era witnessed the birth perhaps the most powerful medium of mass communicationin history: television. Experiments in broadcasting pictures (along with sound) over the airwaves had begun as early as the 1920s, but commercial television did not come into existence until shortly after World War II. It experienced a phenomenally rapid growth. In 1946, there were only 17000 sets in the entire country (the United States); by 1953, two thirds of all American homes had television sets; and by 1957, there were 40 million television sets in use—almost as many sets as there were families. More people had television sets, according to one report, than had refrigerators……The impact of television on American life was rapid, pervasive, and profound. Television news had by the end of the 1950s replaced newspapers, magazines and radios a s the nation’s most important vehicle of information. Television advertising exposed the entire nation to new fashions and products. Television entertainment programming, almost all of it controlled by the three national networks (the National Broadcasting Company, the Columbia Broadcasting System, and the American Broadcasting Company) created a common image of American life –an image that was predominantly white, middle-class, and suburban. Televised sports events gradually made professional sports one of the important sources of entertainment (and one of the biggest businesses) in America.Part IILearning Activity 2Key to Task 2(p11)Task 2 (4 points)The extract of The Gift of the Magi is given below.

She had been saving every penny she could for months, with this result. Twenty dollars a week doesn’t go far. Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are. Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him.
