词汇是写作的基础。教师可要求学生每天坚持朗读并背诵单词。在词汇学习中,教师不仅应要求学生记住单词的意义和拼写,还要让他们记住与单词有关的同义、近义、反义、词形相似的词及词性变化等,以帮助他们最大限度地记忆词汇。例如,在学生记忆单词strong时,教师可引导学生通过例句学习相应的副词strongly及这两个词的不同用法,例如,I feel strong enough to carry the box upstairs. I feel strongly that you have made the wrong decision.
并列法。这种造句法经常使用逗号和并列连词如and、so、for、but等或分号,将两个或多个在意义上联系较为紧密的单句组合成一个句子。例如:The little boy is clever and diligent. Everyone likes him.可以改写成Everyone likes the little boy, for he is clever and diligent.
从属法。这种造句方式可通过将两个或多个句子中的某一句确立为主句,将其余句子变为从属句的方式重新组合成新的句式。例如:The meeting was attended by five thousand people. It was held in a park.可改写为The meeting which was held in a park was attended by five thousand people.
同位表达法。这种造句方式可通过将两个或多句中的某一句或某几句变为同位语的方法组成新的句子。例如:Hanzhou is the capital of Zhejiang province. It's famous for West Lake.可改写为Hanzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, is famous for West Lake.
