Chapter 4 How to write an essay in English

1. How to write an English composition for the CET-4 exam

The best way is to memorize templates. There are various template books on the market now, and I recommend Spark's and Examiner's.

Finally, we will try it out based on the essay question of this exam. From the requirements of our question, it is a narrative essay that records events, and it is a picture-telling essay. Class, all the materials are in our picture. Then we must first look at the picture carefully and choose the clue. Obviously the clock in the picture implies that we choose time as our narrative clue. Secondly, we must choose a good clue. As for the tense issue, we can narrate this matter in the way of recalling it at night.

Then they are all in the past tense.

So the beginning is a difficult thing. You may not know where to start. Here I give an example. Our class had already planned to go to Handian Nursing Home to visit those old people living there. We were all eager to go there as soon as we can. And today this time really came, so you could image how happy we were. At about 8:00 in the morning, with tools in hands, we went out of our school towards the Handian Nursing Home below We don't need to describe too much about the situation on the road. We will focus on describing the situation in the nursing home. It was about 9:00 when we arrived there. Though we were a little tired, none of us wanted to have a rest. As some of those old people seldom came out, so some of us helped them walk around to breathe the fresh air. Some help them to wash their clothes, and the others swept the ground. Most of us never do such things at home, so we maybe didn't do these well, but we all tried our best. At about 11:55, we had lunch with them, and our monitor stood for us to bless them devoutly. During the lunch time, we were all very happy. After lunch , we had a party with those old people. Before we came here, we had already prepared some songs for them. As we expected, they all felt great pleased with our programs. Though maybe we didn't performed well, the *** ile on their faces made us very happy. When it's time to say goodbye, make sure to pay attention to the finishing touches. Happy time always goes fast. Though we didn't notice that we had stayed here for a long time, the clock on the wall informed us clearly that it was time for us to go home. So we had to say good bye to those old people. On the way home, we all said this was really a significant

day, and we decided to e back again whenever we had time.. 4. How to write the composition of the fourth unit of English in the second volume of seventh grade

How to write an English composition

First, you must ensure the correctness of each sentence, which requires mastering the five basic types of simple English sentences and the usage rules of related verbs; The second is to pay attention to the logic between sentences, which requires proficiency in the use of conjunctions; the third is to pay attention to the number of words

1. Expression of positive and negative positions: put the positive and negative views in the first paragraph They are all expressed, and the last sentence is about my own point of view. 1-2 sentences to introduce the topic, 3-4 sentences to provide both positive and negative views, a description of your views, and 5 sentences to express your own opinions.

2. Concession method: first introduce the opposing viewpoint, make a positive evaluation, and then turn around and return to your own viewpoint.

3. Background method: suitable for analyzing a phenomenon, at least 2 sentences. Cause, consequence, context. Use 3-4 sentences to introduce the background, and summarize it in a few words in the last sentence of the first paragraph.

4. Questioning test: If you want to discuss something, first put the topic in the form of a question. Answer the questions to express your own views, and summarize the reasons for your views/write the opposing views first, make a refutation of them, and then put forward your own views.

English compositions are generally best written in three paragraphs. The first paragraph points out the topic, the second paragraph discusses it, and the third paragraph summarizes it.

Use advanced vocabulary. The so-called advanced vocabulary, such as happy, don't use happy anymore. Accumulate more advanced vocabulary, otherwise your composition will not be superior to others.

Use attributive clauses and other more complex sentence structures. Pay attention to the tense when using it.

There are European-style buildings in mounting numbers along the street, attracting a great many tourists to take photos with them. Moreover, a variety of delicious foods are tempting.

Taking a look around, I can find examples too numerous to list. The best illustration might be ice-cream brick of Ma Dieer.

Finally, brilliant historic culture can widen vision and enhance knowledge, laying a solid foundation for the understanding of this fabulous city. Harbin is a city full of vitality and energy.
