關於初中英語寫作有沒有什麼好用的方法與技巧？
好的英語作文，不是一想寫就能寫成的，也無法通過閱讀幾篇祕訣就功力大增的，而是需要經過漫長的訓練，逐漸地一步一步地提高。
小編這就爲大家帶來幾個好用的練習方法。
一、漢譯英練習
我們在大腦中，一般都是使用母語來進行各種思維活動。作文的本質，是把大腦中的思維內容，用英語表達出來。因此，有意識地進行一些漢譯英練習，有助於我們用英語來表達自己的能力，也就有助於提供英語寫作的能力。
當然，漢譯英，對大多數人來說，也是一件困難任務。
面對困難任務，我們最好不要奢望一躇而就，而是把任務分解成幾個步驟，轉換爲幾個更容易的小任務。
翻譯一個漢語句子時，不要急着去產生最終結果，而是：
①先把漢語句子分解成幾個簡單句;②再把漢語簡單句翻譯成英語簡單句;③最後把英語簡單句組成一個複雜的句子。
例如，翻譯句子：
這個遊戲的獨特之處在於它讓孩子學會如何應對現實生活中的問題。(What)
先把句子拆分爲簡單句：
這個遊戲很特別;
這個遊戲讓孩子學會一些東西;
孩子們能應對現實生活的問題。
再翻譯這幾個簡單句：
This game is special.
This game let kids learn something.
The kids can deal with the problems in real life.
翻譯並不難。
最後，我們把這幾個簡單英語句子適當地省略和組合，使用要求的連詞，生成完整的長句：
What makes this game special is that it let kids learn how to deal with the problems in real life.
接着再看另一個翻譯的實例：
申請材料需精心準備，這樣你心儀的學校纔會對你的能力有全面、準確的瞭解。(in order that)
先從句子中提取幾個簡單句：
申請材料需精心準備;
你心儀的學校能夠了解你的能力;
學校的瞭解是全面的、準確的。
再把簡單句翻譯成英語的簡單句：
The applications should be carefully prepared;
Your favorite school can have the knowledge of your abilities;
The knowledge is total and accurate.
最後適當地省略和組合，並使用要求的連詞，形成一個完整的長句：
The applications should be carefully prepared in order that your favorite school can have a total and accurate knowledge of your abilities.
可以看到，分解成幾個步驟以後，漢譯英其實並不難。
平時的練習，不一定去找一些困難的句子進行練習，可以直接找出課文的中文譯文，嘗試去翻譯成英文。
在翻譯的過程中，同樣可以先寫出一些最簡單的句子，再把句子組合成長句複句。翻譯完成後，再和原文對比，去發現原文的精妙之處以及自己還存在哪些不足。
二、課文改寫：
剛開始進行寫作練習時，如果水平較低，可以先不急着直接寫作文，可以先對學過的課文進行改寫練習，等到寫作能力提高到一定水平之後，再練習怎樣寫出作文。
1、摘要寫作
對於任何一門語言，我們都可以使用數十上百種不同的方式，來表達相同的意思。語言的這種多樣性，既是語言的魅力，也帶來不少學習中的困難。能夠用不同的語言、用自己產生的話來重述課文的內容，應該是語言學習者必須擁有的能力。
爲了提高寫作能力，我們可以在學完一篇課文以後，嘗試對課文內容進行改寫。
在初學階段，學習者完成課文改寫的任務可能會有困難，這時，我們可以使用各種提問作提示，降低寫作的難度。
在新概念二的教材中，每篇課文後提供的“摘要寫作(summary writing)”的作業，就是一種很好的改寫課文的方法。
在摘要寫作中，先提供幾個問題，然後讓學生來回答這些問題，最後把回答的內容彙總，就形成一篇短文。
例如，在第一課的摘要寫作中，提供了8個問題：
1 Where did the writer go last week?
2 Did he enjoy the play or not?
3 Who was sitting behind him?
4 Were they talking loudly, or were they talking quietly?
5 Could the writer hear the actors or not?
6 Did he turn round or not?
7 What did he say?
8 Did the young man say, “The play is not interesting,” or did he say, “This is a private conversation!”?
學生嘗試用一句短句來問答每一個提問：
1 The writer went to the theater last week.
2 He didn’t enjoy the play.
3 A young man and a young woman were sitting behind him.
4 They were talking loudly.
5 The writer couldn’t hear the actors.
6 He turned round.
7 He said, “I can’t hear a word!”
8 The young man said, “This is a private conversation!”
然後，把這些回答放在一起，就變成了一篇短文：
The writer went to the theater last week. He didn’t enjoy the play. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind him. They were talking loudly. The writer couldn’t hear the actors. He turned round. He said, “I can’t hear a word!” The young man said, “This is a private conversation!”
最後，數一數短文的字數，共53個單詞。作業的要求是不要超過55個單詞。
這個摘要寫作中的提問和回答方式，和我曾介紹口語分組訓練中，由主持人提出封閉性問題，讓組員用簡短的完整句子來問答，所使用的技巧是差不多的。所以，在口語的分組討論中，也可以圍繞着課文的內容來進行討論，並且直接使用這些提問，作爲討論中的素材。
2、關鍵詞造句
除了摘要寫作之外，我們還可以在課文中選擇5-10個關鍵詞，寫到紙上，然後利用關鍵詞來造句，從而複述出課文的大概內容。
還是以這篇課文爲例，我們可以選取單詞：theater, play, enjoy, loudly, angry, turn round, hear, rudely, private。
再用這些關鍵詞作提示或造句，寫出一些簡單的句子：
Last week I went to the theater.
I was watching a play.
I couldn’t enjoy the play.
A young man and a young woman sat behind me.
They talked loudly.
I became angry.
I turned round.
I said that I couldn’t hear a word.
The young man replied rudely that that was a private conversation.
然後，把這些句子用連接詞連繫起來，儘量用自己的話寫出文章的大概意思。例：
Last week I went to the theater to watch a play. I couldn’t enjoy the play, for a young man and a young woman sitting behind me talked loudly. I became very angry and turned round to say that I couldn’t hear a word. The young man replied rudely that that was a private conversation. (55 words)
除了使用關鍵詞作提示以外，也可以用中文譯文作提示，來逐句翻譯，或寫出文章的大概內容。
3、改變時態
這篇課文講述的是上週發生的事情，因此文章中的句子基本上都是過去時態。我們可以旋轉時間軸到觀看戲劇的前一天，然後假想自己就是作者，來展望即將到來的表演。
ToMorrow night I will go to the theater. A play which I expect to see for a very long time will be performed there. The play will be very interesting. The audience of course will be very gentle and polite. They will not talk loudly when watching the play. Everyone will enjoy the play. I can hardly wait to watch the play.
同樣，我們可以旋轉時間軸到正在看戲的當時，假設作者氣沖沖地到洗手間休息了一會，然後忍不住給朋友發信息抱怨。在這些信息中，我們嘗試儘量去使用現在的時態：
Tom, I feel very bad now. I am watching a play in the theater. The play is very interesting, but I don’t enjoy it. A young man and a young woman sitting behind me talk loudly. So I can not hear the actors. I turn round and angrily say, ‘I can’t hear a word!’ But the young man replies rudely, ‘This is a private conversation!’
儘管在發信息時，事情已經發生了，似乎需要用過去時態，但爲了在抱怨中向朋友強調這件事情剛剛纔發生(主要是我們想訓練現在時)，仍然可以用現在時態來講述。
有些課文主要使用現在時態，我們就去構想用將來時態或過去時態來描述課文內容的場景。
有些課文主要使用將來時態，我們就去構想使用現在時態或過去時態的場景。
例如新概念二第13課：
The Greenwood Boys are a group of pop singers. At present, they are visiting all parts of the country. They will be arriving here tomorrow. They will be coming by train and most of the young people in the town will be meeting them at the station. Tomorrow evening they will be singing at the Workers' Club. The Greenwood Boys will be staying for five days. During this time, they will give five performances. As usual, the police will have a difficult time. They will be trying to keep order. It is always the same on these occasions.
可以假想多年以後，回憶當時看演唱會的經歷：
The Greenwood Boys was a group of pop singers when I was a child. One year they had visited all parts of the country. They arrived at my hometown on a weedend. They came by train and most of the young people in the town met them at the station. They sang at the Workers' Club. The Greenwood Boys had been staying for five days. During that time, they had given five performances. The police had a difficult time for they tried to keep order. It was always the same on those occasions.
4、轉換角色
我們還可以轉換角色來複述課文的內容。
例如，我可以假設自己就是看戲的那個年輕人，在第二天向朋友講述(或寫信)昨天發生的事情：
Last night I went to the theatre with my girlfriend Mary to watch a play. I paid little attention to the play because I was very exciting to be with Mary. When we was talking, the man sitting in front of us turned back and said angrily that he couldn’t hear a word! I though that he want to hear what we were talking about. I told him that it was none of his business and this was a private conversation! But the man said that he couldn’t hear the actors and people should keep in silence in the theatre! How embarrassed we were! I apologized to him and Mary and I didn’t talk any more when watching the play.
這裏列出的四種課文改寫方式，都是以課文已有的內容爲基礎，這樣，學生不會感到無內容可寫。在改寫的過程中，可以只對課文原來的句型作一些簡單的轉換或組合來完成，從而使改寫的難度相對較低，學生能夠順利地完成，並且寫出的文章中語法錯誤較少。
當然，我們並不需要對每篇課文都作四種改寫。老師可以根據課文的類型、難度和學生的水平，選擇其中一種方式進行示範和練習就可以了。
隨着學生寫作水平的提高，可以適當地逐步地增加改寫的難度。在新概念的教材上，後續的單元中也逐步展示了怎樣來增加摘要寫作的難度。
學生水平提高到足夠程度以後，就可以給出類似考試中的作文題目，讓學生去完成。
三、應試作文訓練
我們在寫作文時，常常想着一下子就在思維中把文章構思好，然後一氣呵成地寫出來。
想法越大，越急，思維越混亂，越是找不到合適的單詞，寫不出適當的句子。
平時訓練中，可以按照一定的步驟，一步一步地在草稿紙上寫出中間結果，最後才綜合起來，產生最終結果。訓練的步驟如下：
①根據題目提示，寫出一句或幾句最簡單的句子，可以是原文照抄或直接翻譯。②根據因果關係，向前推原因，向後推結果，寫出更多的句子。③寫出這些句子的對立句，再以對立句爲提示，寫了更多因果關係的句子。④對這些簡單句進行整合和取捨，用各種連詞連接起來，形成一篇文章。
按照這些路線來思維，從簡單的容易的內容出發，一步一步地慢慢走，自然不愁找不到內容，也不愁寫不出文章。
在寫作的練習階段：①儘量寫出簡單句;②儘量使用四種長詞組的常用用法;③儘量使用常用連詞連接。
這樣做，能夠保證：①寫作過程中壓力較小;②寫出的句子語法正確。
通過不斷地練習，寫作水平越來越高，能夠輕鬆地尋找到寫作內容以後，我們可以逐漸嘗試在寫作中使用一些更難的用法。
接下來，我們用寫信和寫議論文兩個實例，來展示具體的寫作過程。
1、如何寫一封信
寫信，是應試作文常常考查的內容。
我們以一篇高考作文真題爲例，來看看該怎樣寫出一封信。真題如下：
假定你是李華，暑假想去一家外貿公司兼職，已寫好申請書和個人簡歷(resume)。給外教Mr. Jenkins寫信，請他幫你修改所附材料的文字和格式(format)。注意：1)詞數100左右;2)可以適當增加細節，已使行文連貫。
讀完真題以後，我們可以自問自答：依次給自己提一些問題，然後嘗試使用最簡單的句子來回答。
首先，回答問題：你現在在幹什麼?
I am writing a letter to Mr. Jenkins.
其次，回答問題：爲什麼要寫信?原因是什麼?
我們一般從過去或現狀中，去尋找原因。在別人來信之後寫回信，我們一般還會簡略複述對方(過去)信中的某些內容。
Mr Jenkins is Li Hua’s English teacher. (直接翻譯)
Li Hua has a plan that he will apply a part-time job in a foreign capital company in summer vacation. (直接翻譯)
Li Hua wants to earn money for his college education. (因果)
Li Hua wants to practise his English. (因果)
Li Hua wants to have more social experience. (因果)
Li hua has already writen down the application and the personal resume. (直接翻譯)
Li hua is afraid that there are some unproper words and formats in his application and resume. (因果)
再次，回答問題：寫信的目的是什麼?
我們一般是從現在或將來中，去尋找目的。
Li hua wants to get some helps from Mr. Jenkins. (直接翻譯)
Mr. Jenkins can check Li hua's application and resume. (因果)
He can find some error in Li Hua’s application and resume, and then corrects them. (因果)
最後，我們嘗試寫出一些對比關係的句子，然後進一步思考因果關係。
Li hua don’t want Mr. Jenkins help him. (對比)
No. Li hua has already carefully checked the application and resume for many times. (因果)
Still, Li hua is puzzled with the usage of some words and the format. (因果)
Mr. Jenkins will not help Li Hua. (對比)
No. Mr. Jenkins is a very good person, and he is always ready for helping others. (因果)
Mr. Jenkins is not only Li Hua’s teacher, but also his good friend. (因果)
可以看到，通過寫出對比關係的句子作提示，我們可以思考出更多內容。
有了這些簡單句以後，我們就可以進一步選擇和組合，寫出這封信來：
Dear Mr Jenkins,
Summer vacation is near. In order to earn some money for my collge education as well as pratise my English, I want to apply a part-time job from a foreign capital company in summer vacation. I have already writen down my application and personal resume. But I am not sure about whether or not the words and format are proper even after I have carefully checked them for several times.
I know you are such a kind person that you are always ready for helping others. So I write this letter and send you my application and resume. Will you have any spare time to check them and correct any errors which may exist in them?
Looking forward to your reply!
Sincerely yours
Li Hua
(127 words)
在平時的練習中，當我們寫好作文以後，最好數一數單詞的總數，慢慢養成對文章長度的感覺。
2、如何寫議論文
應試作文常常考查的另一種題型是寫議論文。
寫作議論文的基本思維路線是：
①某些過去的行爲，產生現在的狀況(存在的問題);③採取措施的目的，是爲了將來什麼樣的結果。
當然，每一個環節，不一定都有內容值得寫出來，視具體的題目而定。
下面是一個四級考試的真題：
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short easy on how to besthandle the relationship between doctors and patients. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
首先，回答問題：我們爲什麼要寫這篇文章?
We want to best handle the relationship between doctors and patients. (照抄)
其次，回答問題：原因是什麼?
我們要從過去的一些不恰當方式，或當前狀況中存在的問題，去找原因。
The relationship between doctors and patients is not very good. (現狀)
Quarrelling and even fighting between doctors and patients are heard from time to time. (現狀)
Doctors felt that their workload was very high but patients did not respect them. (因果)
Patients felt that they were not always treated very well and the fee they paid for their sickness was too high. (因果)
再次，回答問題：我們接下來應採取什麼樣的措施?
More communication between doctors and patients should be made. (措施)
So that they can understand each other better. (因果)
We should make a better medical system. (措施)
Doctors can do their best for patients not caring about their salary. (因果)
Patients can trust doctors and have enough money for their medical treatment. (因果)
最後，回答問題：我們追求的目的是什麼?我們想要一個什麼樣的更美好的未來?
We want a more harmonious society. (因果)
We want that the relationship between doctors and patients will be better. (因果)
Doctors will work harder for the good of patients. (因果)
Patients will understand doctors’ situation. (因果)
在這個例子中，本身存在着大量的對立關係，所以沒有進一步寫出對立句。根據寫出來的這些句子，已經足夠讓我們整合出一篇文章：
How to best handle the relationship between doctors and patients
Recent years, the relationship between doctors and patients is not as good as usual. Quarrelling and even fighting between doctors and patients are heard from time to time. Some patients felt that they were not always treated very well and the fee they paid for their sickness was too high, on the contrary, doctors thought that their workload was very heavy but patients did not respect them.
To solve this problem, as far as I am concerned, more comunication between doctors and patients should be made so that they can understand each other better. Moreover, we should construct an efficient medical system to guarantee that all patients have enough money for their treatment and doctors can do their best in working not caring about their income and social status.
I believe that with the endeavor of all of us the relationship between doctors and patients will become better and better and our society will become more and more harmonious. (159 words)
在平時的寫作訓練中，可以嚴格按照這種利用因果關係和對立關係產生內容，先寫出簡單句再進行組合的步驟來進行寫作，並保留整個寫作過程的分析痕跡。
隨着訓練次數地增加，學生寫作得越來越熟練，水平越來越高，整個過程慢慢內化成一種思維模式。真正進入到考試環節，可以不必再詳細寫下過程，而是直接在思維中充分構思，然後下筆，一氣呵成寫出作文。
