How to get started if you can't write an English composition?

Among the five English language abilities advocated by Lyman English, writing is considered as one of the important compulsory subjects. It is not only the short-term goal of English learning-one of the contents required by the exam; It is also the long-term goal of English learning-one of the necessary communicative abilities. There is no doubt that English writing is a comprehensive reflection of basic knowledge, basic ability and extracurricular information, and at the same time, the writer's superb writing skills should be taken into account. So there is no solid knowledge of English grammar; No long-term unremitting training; There is no scientific method to guide; Without extensive knowledge and information outside the textbook, it is difficult to write an excellent English composition.

You know, English writing is very important for cultivating a person's English way of thinking. Without any external pressure, learners can fully think about sentence structure; Repeatedly scrutinize the content to be expressed. After long-term training, we can achieve the goal of quantitative change to qualitative change. Therefore, English writing often lies not in writing itself, but in helping learners review, apply and innovate what they have learned. More importantly, the cultivation of writing ability can directly affect the formation of learners' oral English ability. This is the knowledge of people of insight in the industry, especially some English teachers.

Most students in China, because there is no strong requirement for composition in textbooks and the requirements of teachers are not clear, naturally they have not received sufficient composition training, which leads to unsatisfactory composition results in exams. However, most social English training institutions ignore the significance of English writing in English learning, and they emphasize the external performance of English ability, such as listening. Lyman's English teaching philosophy attaches great importance to English writing, and has specially compiled a series of Lyman's English writing courses to improve students' language creativity.

Lyman English has summed up a series of practical experience in English writing in many years of teaching practice, and consulted a large number of English papers from different regions, especially composition topics. It is believed that the following goals and requirements of English composition are the first things that students should achieve when writing:

1. The first paragraph is very attractive:

Try to make the first natural paragraph attractive and ensure that "the words are not surprising." In order to do this, students are required to read a large number of extracurricular books, including Chinese and English, so as to have a wide range of knowledge, flexible views and superb writing skills.

2. Phrases and sentence patterns:

In English composition, the use of phrases and sentence patterns can help present the author's English level. This requires students to learn basic knowledge systematically. Now, for example:

Prefer to do> like to do> It can be seen that different types and levels of phrase patterns can show the author's different views and English level.

3. Complex sentences:

It is also necessary to use subject-predicate complex sentences in English writing. There can be no complex sentences in primary school English composition, but since junior high school, complex sentences must be used in writing (at least 1-2). Because, only the subject-slave complex sentences can express more complex views; Only subject-predicate complex sentences can let reviewers see the author's real English level.

4. Conjunction:

Conjunction refers to adverbs, conjunctions and a large number of prepositional phrases used to connect before and after. The necessary use of conjunctions in English composition can make sentences more fluent, avoid the division and independence of each sentence, and make the article logical and coherent. China students have mastered a large number of such words in their studies, but they seldom use them actively except but and because. , making the written article quite dry and abrupt.

5. Tense:

There is no doubt that tense is one of the important categories of English basic knowledge and one of the important characteristics that distinguish it from Chinese. English composition is a test of students' comprehensive ability. Therefore, in the composition, we must add the accurate use of tenses to make our views and narrative plots more accurate. Because there is no concept of tense in Chinese, China students are prone to make mistakes in English tense or ignore the use of events, which will greatly reduce their English composition.

6. Chinese-English translation:

In Lyman's English teaching philosophy, we emphasize the importance of translation training. English-Chinese translation and Chinese-English translation are both essential basic abilities in English learning, or top-notch abilities. Therefore, in English composition, the application of Chinese-English translation skills will undoubtedly help writers to express their views more fully. This kind of translation training is extremely lacking in most textbooks and English classes. Lyman English summed up some intuitive Chinese-English translation skills, which will be arranged to be explained in subsequent lectures.

7. Writing and typesetting:

As we all know, writing and typesetting are the second face of people. The writing and typesetting of a composition directly affects the mood of the reviewers and inevitably affects the final score of the composition.

8. Extracurricular reading and long-term training

Read widely after class, especially some excellent articles, to increase your information. At the same time, we should carry out long-term continuous training through diaries, weekly notes, letters, notes, notices, short messages, proposition writing, etc., and gradually improve our English writing level.

To sum up, English composition is the output of basic knowledge and the embodiment of comprehensive ability. It is a process of accumulating a lot of information and a process of continuous cultivation.
