It is so easy。这个很简单When you are learning English,listening,speaking and writing are important,but reading can also be very helpful.When you read,you can’t only learn some new words,but also you can learn how to use these English words.When you read,it gives you a good example for writing.当你在学习英文时,听力、口语和写作固然是非常重要的,但是阅读也会相当有用。当你阅读时,你所学到的并不仅仅是一些新单词本身,而是有关如何使用这些英文单词方法。当你在阅读时,你其实是在为你的写作打基础。 Good reading tips(建议): 好的阅读建议: Try to read at the right level(水平).Read something that you can (more or less) understand.If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary,it is not interesting.尝试阅读和你水平相符的材料。读那些你能够理解的东西。如果你每读几个单词都要用下字典的话,那就会很乏味了。 Try to increase the number of your new words.If there are four or five new words on a page.write them in your notebook.But you don’t have to write them while you are reading.Instead.try to guess their meanings as you read,and mark them with a pen.Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary book.Then try to remember them.试着增加你的词汇量。如果一个页面上有四五个新单词的话,把它们写在你的笔记本里。但是你不需要在你阅读的时候做这项工作。你阅读的时候应该做的是去猜测这些单词的意思,并且给它们做上记号。等你读完全篇之后,再回来在字典里查出这些词的意思,并且把它们写在你自己的词汇本中,然后试着记住它们。 Try to read regularly(定期).For example,read for a short time once a day.Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday.Fix(固定)a time to read and keep to it.For example,you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed,or when you get up or at lunchtime.试着保持规律性的阅读。比如,每天都花上一点时间来阅读。每天读十五分钟比每周读两小时的效果要好得多。固定一个阅读时间并且坚持下来。比方说,你可以在你临睡前读个十五分钟,或者在你起床或吃午餐的时间也可以。Read what interests you.Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like.Because you are going to spend time and money to read it,choose an interesting one.You can also read newspapers.There are many English newspapers in Chink For example,21st Century Teens.It is easy enough for you to understand.There is something interesting in it.读你感兴趣的材料。选择那些内容能够引发你兴趣的书或杂志。毕竟阅读是一件需要你费时费钱的事情,所以选择那些有趣的阅读材料吧。你也可以读报纸。中国有许多英文报纸。比方说《21世纪中学生英文报》,是很容易读懂的材料,内容也非常有趣。
Writing is a complex skill which most students actually need in order to successfully go through Because everything is based on writing during academic years, a student who possesses good writing skills will automatically do better at Exams, essays, assignments, and so
先来自我介绍一下吧,英语专业毕业生,高分通过专八考试,教过5年的托福写作和语法,目前就职于知米背单词。看到这个问题感觉又回到了自己的老本行,特地写下了以下回答。我的回答都是实操性非常强的,个人觉得方法论什么其实说出来大家都懂,但是道理都懂,你们还是不知道怎么实际操作啊!(难道我说的不对吗?!)所以呢,咱也不说假大空的,就来点提高英语写作实际可行的方法,这里给出一些Improve the basics的方法,你们拿去不谢: Use active instead of passive voice用主动语态代替被动语态不好的写作习惯之一就是过度使用被动语态。事实上,在英文中,大部分的句子结构都是S-V-O,也就是常见的主谓宾结构,虽然我上学的时候老师花了很多时间去讲解被动语态这个语法点。 Use strong words准确用词好的文章,不管是小说还是学术写作讲究准确性,有感染力让人出其不意。所以准确使用动词形容词能让平淡无奇的句子变成让人们津津乐道很多年的句子,不过再好的词汇也不要重复使用, 除非你故意押韵。不过用来描述对话的时候又是例外啦,不建议使用he commented这种,很对时候said就可以,看起来不断重复使用say好像很奇怪,但是其实会让读者focus在对话内容本身上。还有就是准确并不意味着复杂,能使用use的时候就别用utilize,虽然我做写作老师的时候非常推崇这个词。再举个例子:They are warm, nice people with big hearts明明就表达的很清晰,非要装逼换成They are humid, prepossessing homo sapiens with full-sized aortic Excuse me?? Cut the chaff 别啰嗦好的文章一定是简单清晰直接的。能20个单词就完事儿的句子非得写出50个单词并不会额外加分。堆砌辞藻可能一开始会让你感觉很棒,但是很有可能让看的人觉得不知所云。比如有些人写作的时候很喜欢用看起来很有感染力的副词,像screamed fearfully,看起来很有画面感呢,但其实scream这个词本身就暗含了fear的意味,所fearfully当然是多余的。 show,don’t tell 展现出来而不是直观地告诉你要让读者通过你文章角色的话语,感觉和动作来感同身受,尤其是写小说的时候。比如你写个句子“Sydney was angry after reading the letter”,对,这句话·我看懂了,但是太干巴巴了,生气体现在哪里?没法儿让人信服。但如果你说“Sydney crumpled the letter and threw it into the fireplace before she stormed from the room” 就让读者感受到了愤怒,读者会相信自己看到的,而不是被告诉的。 Avoid clichés 避免陈词滥调我们常常在中文作文里写:今天天气晴朗,万里无云,我们怀着激动的心情…。英文作文也有这种操作啊,比如"It was a dark and stormy night" ,就问你俗不俗!我个人非常喜欢Charles Dickens在A Tale of Two Cities的一段经典描述:“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison ” Avoid generalizations 避免泛泛而谈比如我们经常写到类似于这样的句子:In modern times, we are more progressive than people a hundred years 嗯??什么叫做more progressive??我们需要准确而具体的表达! Back up what you say 有理有据这个原则在议论文写作中尤其重要,给出一个assertion就要摆事实,examples也好,reasons也罢,去证明你的观点 Edit,edit,edit不断修改修改是写作非常重要的一个环节。尤其是一些你觉得不确定模棱两可的内容。希望我的回答能对大家提升英语写作的水平能有帮助,mua~
