First what should you do??
Ss: We should make an outline.?
T: How to make an outline effectively??

2.Making a draft?
T: Good. What about the next step? What should we do??

3.Writing a description?
If time permits, get the students to make the draft into a passage, adding necessary details. When they are trying to finish the assignment, go around and see their common strengths and weaknesses. After they finish, get them to check with each other. Then choose some to show on the slide and get the others to appreciate together, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses. At last show them a sample.?
My teacher, Ms Zhang, is well past fifty. She is an ordinary-looking woman with a pair of bright eyes. She looks old for her age, because her hair is all white.??

Learning Tips
书面表达是综合性强、难度大的题目。但是,当我们深入研究后就不难发现,书面表达实质上就是组词成句、联句成篇的一项系统工程。只要我们抓好词、句、段这三个环节,加强缩写、改写、仿写等练习,由简到繁、由易到难,一环扣一环地进行训练,由模仿到活用,由操练到交际,就能使语言知识逐步转化成语言交际能力。?
(一)选词?
词是语言的最小组成单位,不同词性的词组合在一起构成句子。因此,要充分利用课文中出现的重点单词、词组、句型,培养学生学习和识记单词的能力。?
1.注意一词多义的应用。如time一词,在Times have changed中指“时代”;在six times the size of mine中指“倍数”;在in slow time中指“拍子”。切忌在写文章下笔时,一词滥用,似是而非。?
2.结合英语构词法,同义反义比较,名词的可数与不可数词义的区别,加强对英语词形变化的理解,扩充词汇量。?
3.巧用过渡词,增强文章逻辑性。为了使所写短文通顺,连贯得体,句子与句子之间过渡自然,提高所写短文的质量,适当加上一些表示时间顺序、递进、因果、条件、让步等关系的过渡词是很有必要的。常见的过渡词有:?
(1)表时间顺序的过渡词:first, second, third, and then, finally, before, after a few days, at last, at that time, later, in the past, immediately, in the meanwhile等等。?
(2)表空间顺序的过渡词:near(to),far(from),in the front of, beside, behind, beyond, above, below, to the right, to the left, on one side, on the other side of, outside等等。?
(3)表并列的过渡词:also, and, then, too, as well(as)等等。?
(4)表转折的过渡词:but, yet, however, in spite of, otherwise等等。?
(5)表递进的过渡词:what’ s more, besides, what’ s worse, in addition, furthermore, moreover, again等等。?
(6)表目的的过渡词:for this reason, for this purpose, so that; in order that, so as to, in order to等等。?
(7)表因果的过渡词:because, since, so, as a result, therefore, thus, as等等。?
(8)表解释说明的过渡词:for example, in fact, in this case, for, actually等等。?
(9)表条件的过渡词:as long as, so long as, on condition that, if, unless等等。?
(10)表让步的过渡词:though, as, even if／though, who(what, when, where)ever等等。?
(11)表总结的过渡词:in brief, as has been stated, in a Word等等。?
(12)过渡性插入语:I think, I’ m afraid, you know, as we all know等等。?
(二)造句?
句子是表达一个较完整意思的最小单位,所以遣词造句的能力在英语写作中是非常重要的,是书面表达成败的关键。因此,加强造句训练就显得尤其重要。?
1.连词成句:这是最基本的一种训练形式。如:?
(1)father, for you, new, will buy, says, a bike可连成Father says, “I will buy a new bike for you.”?
(2)me, all right, write and tell, this will be, please, whether可连成Please write and tell me whether this will be all right.?
2.充分利用教材中特有的句型、句式、语法造句。?
(1)句型、句式可使句子表达简洁、准确,提高文章档次。?
It’ s+adj.+for sb.to do sth.“对某人来讲,做某事是……”。如:?
It’ s difficult for a child to do the job without help.?
It’ s no good／use...doing sth.做某事没好处／用处?
It’ s no use giving him any more money.?
It is(has been)+时间+since...自从……好长时间了?
It is(has been) 5 years since he joined the army.?
It’ s not long before...不久…… ?
It will not be long before be comes back.?
It is／was...who/that...强调句型?
It was yesterday that we visited the factory.?
It seems that...好像…… ?
It seems that she is happy./She seems happy.?
I don’t think／believe／expect(that)...我认为……不?
I don’t think I know you.?
Will you please...?请……好吗??
Will you please help me??
Would you like sth.／to do sth.?做……好吗??
Would you like to have a cup of tea??
(2)用主从复合句、分词作状语、with复合结构等用法,可使语言描绘更加生动,增强文章的情感性和感召力。如:?
What is more, it will become necessary to build gates and walls, which will do harm to the appearance of a city.(NMET 2002书面表达参考答案片段)?
I don’ t know about others, but I used to work even at weekends, doing endless homework and at tending Classes as well.(NMET 2001书面表达参考答案片段)?
It’ s a small flat of 25 square meters, with a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen.(NMET 2003书面表达参考答案片段) ?
How glad we were to see the crops and vegetables growing well.(NMET 1998书面表达参考答案片段)?
