Step One Writing Correct Sentences

1.The Simple Sentence (简单句)

A simple sentence contains but one subject and one predicate. (一个简单句仅有一个主语和一个谓语。)

e.g. John loves Mary.

The subject may consist of two or more nouns, and the predicate may consist of two or more verbs. The former is called a compound subject; the latter is called a compound predicate, Thus, a simple sentence may have many nouns or many verbs; or it may have many words or phrases modifying the subject or predicate; but it has only one subject and one predicate.(主语可包含两个或更多的名词,谓语可包含两个或多个动词,分别称为复合主语和复合谓语。这样,一个简单名子中可有多个名词或动词,也可有修饰语,但它仅有一个主语和一个谓语。) e.g.

John and Henry love Mary.

John and Henry love Mary and her sister.

John and Henry love Mary and her sister and give them money.

2.The Compound Sentence (并列复合句)

A Compound sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction, such as and , or ,nor ,but , for, yet. Each clause in a compound sentence must have a subject and a verb, is of equal importance, and can stand alone. (并列复合句是由两个或两个以上的独立分句组成,由并列连接词如and, or ,nor ,but , for ,yet等连接。并列复合句的各个独立分句必须有主谓结构,同样重要且意义独立而完整。)

The following sample sentences indicate how coordinating conjunctions work to make compound sentences. (以下例句指示并列连接词的用法。)

2. Students may live in dormitories, or they may live in off-campus housing. (choice of two possibilities)

3. The Complex Sentence (主从复合句)

A complex sentence consists of one or more subordinate clauses and a main clause. The subordinate clauses do the work of nouns, adjectives or adverbs. (主从复合句由一个或一个以上的从句和一个主句组成,从句可分别起名词、形容词和副词作用。) e.g.

particular brands have the lowest nicotine and tar content.(nonrestrictive)

who did not think )

大学英语写作课怎么上

大学英语写作课怎么上 要上好大学英语写作课除了积累经验以外还要吸取别人的授课方法。下面是给大家整理的大学英语写作课怎么上,供大家参阅! 大学英语写作课怎么上1 关键,备课环节 上好大学英语写作课,关键是备好课,俗话说“台上一分钟,台下十年功”,从中引申出来意思就是准备工作容不得半点马虎。备好课主要做到备课程、备学生、备方法。一要备好课程。我们知道,单列的写作课往往只有几节课,且安排在学期末;可以说,写作课是检验学生一学期的课程内容的标尺,包括学生的单词积累、逻辑思维和行文习惯。因此,在备课时,笔者目的明确,所教的写作内容决不允许局限于课本的例题,而要在各种文体(说明文、论说文和应用文)上加料,突出主题延伸;如笔者在备书信写作课时,就会把书信的各种类别找出来,并自己归纳其格式;;日期的写法+称呼+内容+结束语。二要备好学生。大学生写作水平参差不齐,层次有上中下,必须采取的策略是抓小放大促中间,达到教学的总体均衡;具体操作是备课内容重点放在学习层次较为一般的中下层学生,容易的题目占比增大,体现为从易到难、由有感性向理性逐渐过渡;同时积极参阅历年全国大学语言四六级考试真题,参考《大学英语实用写作课程》[1]等教辅,使得备课内容切合实际、内涵丰富,学生能既能“吃饱”,又容易消化。如我采编的写作常用过渡词(学生运用起来方便快捷),(1)

对照/but、whereas、however ……(2)让步/nevertheless、although……(3) 原因/because 、since 、for ……(4)结果/so、thus、hence等等。三要备好方法。针对不同的写作课程内容,采用不同的教学方法备课:描写文和记叙文写作课程;;讲授法、探究法,论说文;;讲授法、练习法,应用文;;探究法、讨论法;并利用PowerPoint或Authorware软件将课程内容制作幻灯片,加插动画、视频、音频和解说手段,力求内容生动、直观、有趣,学生容易接受。 2 重心,施教环节 我们知道,教学目标的实现很大程度上依赖课间教学。为实现成果转化的最大性,笔者会在课堂上采用各种不同的教学法或多种教学法穿插进行。特别在讲授应用文写作时笔者多采用探究启发式教学法,因为应用文类别多、各有格式,导致学生很容易混淆。 谈大学英语写作教学中的几点体会一、大学英语写作教学的现状分析1、对英语写作重视程度欠缺 在大学英语教学中,仍然是教师占主导地位,在语言知识的输入与输出地关系上,大多数学校的学生仍然是被动的知识接受者,即所获取的语言知识大多是听力、阅读等输入型的言语信息,一旦接触到语言输出环节(说和写),学生就会感觉到力不从心。 在教学环节中,从教师的角度来看,在听说课上,他们的主要精力用于对学生听的训练,而让学生说的机会甚少;在读写课上,由于课堂时间所限,教师将大部分时间用来传授基本的语法知识和词汇用

1.段落解释: is a unit of thought composed of sentences,smaller units of thought,that relate to a single topic.Paragraph divisions serve two very useful functions 2.A good paragraph is composed 组成 in such a way that it has : idea with nothing in the paragraph not covered by the topic explores the main idea explicitly and concretely,with 3.第一个写作常识has sound internal structure.The qualities that indicate sound internal structure are unity,coherence,and completeness. 4.怎样做到内容一致An excellent way of achieving unity is by means of the topic sentence.Properly used,the topic sentence forces the writer to adhere to and to sustain the point he is trying to establish 5.标题句① the topic sentence properly used can achieve unity in the paragraph,which indicate the importance of the topic sentence;②the topic sentence 6.第二个写作常识 In short,a good topic sentence has a limited subject and a sharp focus,namely,a good topic sentence is not too general nor too narrow.A topic sentence that is too general requires much more than a paragraph to develop it.A topic sentence that is too narrow leaves little to be said in the rest of the coherence is connection and consistency.A coherent paragraph is one in which all the sentence are related logically and grammatically to make a whole that allows the reader to follow the writer’s train of thought step by step 8.第三个写作常识 Just as topic sentences help readers follow our ideas,other signals also help them understand what we have to say.When we write and when we revise,look for the areas that seem choppy or unconnected—that lack coherence.We can establish better coherence by using the following devices:pronoun reference,repetition ,and in a paragraph means that the topic is adequately developed by details,explanations,definitions,evidences,and the like,so that the reader is not left with only a fuzzy idea of what the writer means 1第四个写作常识:Development of the main idea, then, is like enlarging a photograph to make the details clearer. So, development in the paragraph is as important as unity and coherence between skillful development helps us to stick to our subject and focus and to keep up the sense of oneness. 2Inductive Pattern (归纳法概念):In developing a paragraph by means of the inductive pattern of reasoning the writer presents particular instances of a like kind and leads them into valid generalization which serves as his topic sentence. 3Deductive Pattern (演绎法概念):In developing a paragraph by means of the deductive pattern the writer begins with a generalization(the topic sentence) and proceeds with specific elaboration or application of the general idea. 4Inductive-deductive Pattern(归纳演绎法):As the name indicates, in developing a paragraph by means of inductive-deductive pattern the writer first presents particular instances and a resulting generalization, then applies the generalization to a new instance.5第五个写作常识:Sequences of development are not independent of types of development. The most important sequences of development are general to particular, particular to general, climactic, chronological, and spatial. 6Climactic Sequence (层递顺序):In a climactic sequence, the most intense or highest point of interest is saved for the final sentence, which may be, but is not necessarily, the topic sentence. 7.Chronological Sequence (时间顺序):A chronological sequence is one in which earlier things precede later things; items are listed in the order in which they occur in time. The most obvious use of a chronological sequence is in telling a story. 8Spatial Sequence (空间顺序):A spatial sequence is used in descriptions of various types. It starts the reader at a particular point and then moves logically in some direction, from one place to another. 9第六个写作常识:The type of development is the way in which the main idea is supported-by details, definitions, statements of cause and effect, and so on. 10段落展开方式:Among the most important types of paragraph development are development by detail, comparison and contrast, process, classification and partition, cause and effect, definition, and mixed development.

1. 成功的四个步骤 Four Steps to a Successful Four Steps to a Successful The first time in life? Then grasp your chance with your perfect performance on the dating night, by learning the following principle in heart. Dress properly. While everyone wants to give an impressive debut on the first date, you should avoid wearing something too bizarre to be accepted. If you are still in school, a sportswear can fulfill your purpose. For businessman or grownups, casual clothes are recommended. Never put up your working uniforms,no matter how well you like that Armani suit. It is no work. A few accessories such as a pair of sunglasses or silver loops on the wrist can add up to the romance sphere. Take a bath before dating. And if you like, spray a little perfume, but unless you're sure that he or she likes the smell,don't use ones that are too strong. Watch your manner. You're no prince of the Scotland nor Cinderella in the legend. Proper manners will ensure a lasting relationship while bad ones scare away your sweetheart. And do make sure you do not boast about your fortune, for, not everyone are green addicts. And your way of smiling, or your greatestoath, should neither be "coy" nor "by St. Loy!" after the nun in Chaucer. Be a little sensitive than merely innocent. Do make sure you do not intrude his or her privacy on the first date. For there maybe something deeply concealed within the inner core of every heart, of which the owner doesn't share often with anyone but his intimacy. Finally, wish you good luck. May you get your hearts combined and start a new journey in the miracle of life and love. Stay tuned till a borderline is reached, and keep on through out the whole way. 简评 看来第一次约会真是令人兴奋并紧张期待的。为第一次约会所提出的建议也是仁者见仁、智者见智。王永同学用词简单、结构精炼,读起来节奏快,例如:“Dress Properly....If you are still in school,a sportswear can fulfill your purpose.For businessman Orgrowmups,casual clothes are recommended.”这样的文章结构像是在提醒我们时不我待,要抓住机会,抓紧时间。 2. 我的宿舍生活My Dormitory Life
