How do English majors write their compositions?

1. English composition: As an English major, what are the pressures of learning English?

But the more you use Chinese, the more ugly English you become.

The problem is that China people, English will not bring trouble.

If you think in Chinese, you have to pay twice the price to learn English well.

Good luck.

2. Write an English composition about how students learn English well. Writing an English composition is to express your ideas through language. There are two elements: language and thought. For a successful English composition, these two points are indispensable. When writing in our mother tongue, we basically don't have to spend much time and energy thinking about the language, so our focus is on the content. But in English composition writing, we should pay attention to both language and content. If we can't handle the relationship between the two, we may never learn English composition well.

Generally speaking, English composition writing has three steps, although the three steps of English composition writing cannot be completely separated.

First, learn the basic vocabulary and grammar of English. At this time, learners have not mastered the basic usage of English, so they are still in the basic stage of learning a language. At this time, there is generally no English composition writing training, and even if there is, it only plays a role in practicing vocabulary and grammar. Generally speaking, this kind of exercise is very simple, emphasizing that learners must use correct vocabulary and grammar.

Second, both language and content are equally important. At this point, learners have mastered some basic English vocabulary and grammar and can express their simple ideas in English. At this time, English composition practice can achieve two purposes: (1) continue to enhance the mastery of the language; (2) Express certain ideas in English. In the concrete English composition learning practice, the two are actually inseparable. Many junior three students began to keep diaries in English, actually in the stage of English composition writing.

Third, mainly emphasize the content. When learners have a certain grasp of English vocabulary and grammar and can use it to express relatively complex ideas, they basically enter the third stage. At this time, language is not the biggest obstacle, and how to write English composition has become the most important thing. At this stage, learners are concerned about how to choose materials and how to organize articles. Some people say that only the third-stage English composition is the real writing. This statement may be biased, but a successful English composition must reach this third stage.

If you find it difficult to write complete sentences, you are still in the first stage of English composition writing. Don't rush to write a long speech at this time, even though some of your ideas may be very profound. What you have to do at this time is to pay attention to the accumulation of language and the usage of common words and sentence patterns. In addition, doing some translation exercises properly can also help you improve your language use ability and prepare for improving your writing ability. Besides, reading more books and cultivating a sense of language can also make some preparations for improving writing ability.

Therefore, the second stage of English composition writing can start with the following three conveniences: accumulating language materials, doing more translation exercises and reading exercises. With the improvement of your language ability, you will gradually enter the second stage, and then you won't worry about writing sentences.

How to write a good English composition

English composition writing is to express one's thoughts through language. There are two elements: language and thought. For a successful English composition, these two points are indispensable. When writing in our mother tongue, we basically don't have to spend much time and energy thinking about the language, so our focus is on the content. But in English composition writing, we should pay attention to both language and content. If we can't handle the relationship between the two, we may never learn English composition well.

3. How can I write a professional English composition 1? Carefully review the questions before writing. The Notes for Senior High School Entrance Examination points out that written expression should be relevant.

How can we get to the point? Is to carefully examine the questions. After seeing the topic, don't rush to write, but read the content required by the topic carefully. Conceive a frame or picture in your mind, determine the central idea of the essay, don't rush to write, understand the meaning of the question, and examine the question according to the information provided by the picture, chart, outline or essay.

Format, genre, character relationship, story plot, subject tense, time and place of activities should all be investigated. 2. Around the center, the written expression of the outline has four scoring principles: (1) content score; (2) the number of words used and the structure; (3) the accuracy of grammatical structure and vocabulary use; (4) Coherence of context.

It can be seen that the main point is an important factor in giving points. In order to avoid missing the main points in writing, students should give full play to their observation and list the main points given in the scene one by one.

According to the central idea of the passage, consider how to start, expand and end, imagine several conjunctions connecting the preceding with the following, write down the main sentence patterns and keywords, and form an outline. When writing, avoid disorganized structure, nonsense and serious digression. The written expression has a wide range of contents and diverse topics. It is necessary to find out whether the requirements of the examination questions are to write people, narrate, introduce, comment, charts, letters, diaries, notices and notes, or to write or rewrite abbreviations by looking at pictures.

If it is a diary, write down the year, month, day and weather; If it is a letter, pay attention to the format of the letter, and pay attention to the fact that the number of words in the essay cannot be less than or more than the specified number of words. 3. Fluent language and accurate expression (1) Avoid Chinglish and try to use familiar sentence patterns.

Several sentence patterns can be used interchangeably to avoid repetition and rigidity. (2) Use simple sentence patterns. Most people don't need complicated sentence patterns to remember and write.

You can use declarative sentences, general interrogative sentences, imperative sentences and exclamatory sentences more appropriately. Don't use or use less complicated sentence patterns, such as non-predicates or modal verbs.

(3) Pay attention to the flexible use of grammar and syntactic knowledge. 1) voice and tense should be accurate.

2) The subject and predicate should be consistent, and the person and number of the subject should be consistent with the predicate. 3) Pay attention to the object form of personal pronouns.

4) Pay attention to the usage of articles, such as an in He is an honest student cannot be written as a. 5) Pay attention to spelling, punctuation and capitalization, such as receive, believe, fourteen, forty, ninth, restaurant, etc.

Punctuation marks pay special attention to the differences between Chinese and English, such as: Chinese English A. period. . B. ellipsis ..........................................................................................................................................................................

2) Clothing colors: red, yellow, blue, white, green, brown, black, etc. 3) Inner state: joy, happiness, sadness, excitement, anxiety, interest, etc.

4) Emotional description: like, like, hate, feel, laugh, cry, * * laugh, shout, etc. 5) Action description: e, go, get, have, take, take, take, etc.

(5) Context should be coherent. Coherence of context is also a principle of grading, so students should deal with the written sentences with some transitional words such as juxtaposition and progression according to the story and the sequence of events (time or space) to make the articles coherent, natural and smooth.

Students should pay attention to the following transitional usage: 1) transitional words for coordinate relations: and, and, or……2) transitional words for turning relations: but, yet, how……3 3) transitional words for time relations: first, second, third, then, finally, after, before, a few days later, and finally. Later ... 4) Transition words for spatial relations: near (to), far (from), in front, behind, beyond, above, below, to the right, left, on one side, on the other side, outside ... 5) Transition words for comparison: in the same way, just like, just like ... 6) Transition words for comparison: Also, in addition, more, again ... 8) Transition words indicating causality: because, since, then, therefore, otherwise, therefore, result ... 9) Transition words for explanation: for example, in fact, in this case, for actually ...10) Transition words for emphasis: fact. The most important ... 13) indicates the listed transitional words: for example, such as ...13) indicates the summative transitional words: in a word, finally, finally, in a word, as already stated, in a word, in a word, in a word, in a word, in a word ... 4. The simpler and more accurate the sentence, the better. Making complex sentences is easy to make mistakes and deduct points. There is a saying on the marking field: "Everyone is equal before mistakes, and good literary talent does not add points."

If individual points cannot be expressed or are difficult to express, flexible methods can be adopted to simplify the complex. In short, sentences should be correct and appropriate, in line with English expression habits.

(1) When the Chinese word meaning can't be expressed in English, you can think of several words that are similar to this Chinese word meaning. Expand your thinking, and then find a substitute with similar meaning from English.

This can have the same effect. (2) Small words are widely used. Some meanings in Chinese seem complicated and elegant, but they can actually be expressed by some common words in English.

The following words may be very useful in your written expression: take, have, get, make, e, go, do, see, show, happy, nice, kind, help and so on. (3) Sometimes words or phrases needed in written expression may appear in other parts of the test paper.

Because you have just done the problem and remember it clearly, it is credible.

4. Senior two students, but how to write a good composition in the English exam? If you want to write a good composition, you must have solid basic skills, which are mainly embodied in three aspects: words, sentences and paragraphs.

In terms of words, we should accumulate words, expand vocabulary, find out the exact usage of words and the usage differences of similar words, as well as the usage of many fixed phrases and idioms, and accurately express what we want to express.

In terms of sentences, pay attention to some common sentence patterns. Write down useful sentence patterns, imitate them more, and pay attention to the combination of long and short sentences when writing articles.

In terms of paragraphs, pay attention to the overall layout of the whole article and grasp the central idea of each paragraph as a whole to avoid digression and digression.

You can't improve your writing skills overnight. The most important thing is to develop good study habits, pay attention to accumulation at ordinary times, write frequently and think more, and your writing level will gradually improve.

If you want to write a good article in English, you need to lay a solid language foundation, that is, a considerable degree of language attainments, good language cultivation and keen language perception. The writer must know the specific steps of writing, understand the essence of writing and master the skills of writing. More importantly, China students must also solve the problem of thinking in English. People who don't understand the British and American ways of thinking can't write authentic English articles, no matter how deep their language skills are.

The basic knowledge of English language refers to the ability to master and use all kinds of language knowledge of this language, including the accuracy and conciseness of words, the free use of rhetorical devices, the accurate use of tenses and the proficiency of grammar and syntactic structure. The common problem in writing is the inaccurate use of words, which is mainly due to the poor grasp of the meaning of words and the different meanings in different contexts, and the lack of vocabulary is undoubtedly an important factor in the improper use of words.

It is still impossible for a person who has mastered a certain vocabulary but does not know rhetoric knowledge to write a good article.

In addition to language skills, writers must also be clear about the specific tasks of writing, the particularity of writing and all kinds of skills needed for writing. Writing is a comprehensive intellectual activity, and its works are works of art based on ideas and using language as a tool. Writing requires not only rich imagination, but also rigorous language logic and unique ideas. Otherwise, the article will never become a masterpiece of language.

China people still face the problem of changing their thinking mode when writing in English. People who are not familiar with the thinking mode of English language, no matter how "superb" their writing skills, can't create beautiful and authentic English works. In particular, many students are used to listing outlines in Chinese first, then writing articles in English, and then writing in English according to the listed Chinese outlines. It is conceivable to write an article like this.

In short, the change of thinking mode, a deep understanding of the nature of writing and a correct understanding of English writing are the prerequisites for creating successful English works. These issues will be further discussed in later chapters.

5. How to be a qualified English major? Hello, I am a newly graduated English major, but I didn't do well in the exam. But someone around me does this:

First, open your mouth. They all spoke together in the dormitory. From the moment they first went to college, their dormitory agreed that they must speak English in the dormitory, and they did it. Slowly, they agreed to speak English everywhere, and they did. In addition, they are very active and seize every opportunity to talk with foreign teachers. When I was looking for a job, I interviewed one of them in their dormitory. Spoken English, like foreigners, has many words and is very fluent.

Second, the study plan. This is a cliche and necessary. As an English major, you should make plans in your spare time. Spend at least half an hour listening, speaking and reading every day. (Time can be gradual) Of course, you can't ignore writing and grammar.

This is what I think English majors must do. As long as you stick to your study plan and study every day, it will be great after four years.

In addition, freshmen and sophomores are laying the foundation, so we must work hard. While working hard, you can pay more attention to English-related exams as a regular check on yourself.

If you think you are doing well, you can take intermediate interpretation and advanced interpretation.

Of course, the most important thing is that English majors have to pass the exams for English majors, such as TEM4 and TEM8.

I hope these are helpful to you.

I believe that as long as you work hard, you will definitely graduate with excellent results!

6. From the perspective of English majors, each school may focus on different things, some attach importance to sentences and expressions, and some attach importance to logic and structure.

This still depends on how the real questions are required and what kind of questions you like. I think we China students are good at gorgeous sentences and vocabulary, but lack logic and structure.

You should pay more attention to the requirements of TOEFL and Gre composition and make the article realistic. Recommend Cai Jigang's writing books, such as Self-taught English Writing, College English Writing, Five-paragraph Composition Method and Comparison of Chinese and English Rhetoric.

You don't have to read all of them, just pick one (the first two are more complete) and learn how to arrange articles and paragraphs, how to write the beginning and end, how to use connecting sentences and so on. , you can go your own way. There is nothing left, just practice and change yourself.
