開頭篇

古人說：“鳳頭豹尾”，就是說開頭要寫得有姿有彩，像鳳凰的頭那樣，英語作文也是如此，好的文章的開頭,應做到開門見山，用簡單明白的敘述引出文章的話題，使讀者了解文章要談論什么，并饒有風趣地沿著你的思路讀下去。作文常見的開頭形式大致有以下幾種：

1．開門見山，揭示主題

文章開頭就交代清楚文章的主題是什么：如“My hobby”的開頭是：My hobby is stamp collecting.By doing this ,I can get my mind off my work…

再如“Taking care of the cahildren,Respecting the old”一文的開頭: Taking care of the children,and respecting the old is a universal custom.No matter where you go in the world you should obey this social rule...

2． 交代人物,事情,時間阿或環(huán)境的開頭

在文章的開頭,先把人阿物,事件和環(huán)境交代清楚.例如“Catching a thief”的開頭：Last sunday,I went to do some shoping by bike.when I got to the shop, Isaw many customers in it.when I was looking for the things I wanted,I suddenly saw a thin and pale young man slowly putting his hand into the handbag of a well-dressed lady...

3．回憶性的開頭

用回憶的方法來開頭.例如“My English Teacher”的開頭是:I still remember my first English teacher----Mr li. He is a middle-aged man.He always works hard. He goes all out to make every cLASS lively and interesting.He is very strict with us.

4．概括性的開頭

即對在文章中敘述的人或事先作一個概況性的介紹。如：“Sports”的開頭是:Sports must be regarded as something more than a form of relaxation after a long time of work .Reasons are as follows:First...

5．介紹環(huán)境式的開頭

即利用自然景物或自然環(huán)境引出要介紹的事物。如“An interesting book ”的開頭是：It was dinner time, Mr and Mrs Smith were waiting at the table for Mike. Where was Mike? Mrs Smith asked her husband to look for him...

6．交代寫作目的的開頭

在文章的一開頭就交代寫作目的，如通過文章要表揚誰，批評誰，或說明一個什么問題等。如“Train Travel and Air Travel”的開頭：In this article I shall draw your attention to the subject of travel---Air travel and train travel.Air travel has two advantages over train travel...

結尾篇

如果把開頭比作“爆竹”,那么結尾就有如“撞尾”.古人說過：“好的結尾有如咀嚼干果,品嘗香茗,令人回味再三。”文章結尾的作用是概括全文內(nèi)容,進一步強調(diào)或肯定文章的中心思想,使文章意義表達更加深刻.文章結尾的形式常見的有以下幾種:

1. 首尾呼應,畫龍點睛

在文章的結尾,把深刻的話放在末尾,以點明主題,深化主題,起到畫龍點睛的效果.如“Walt Disney”的結尾:Walt Disney died in 1966,but the world will not forget him quickly.Mickey Mouse and all his friends in Disneyland will help us remember him.又如:“My Favorite Newspaper”的結尾：21st century is very popular with students and English learners.I do love it.

2. 重復主題句

結尾回到文章開頭闡明的中心思想或主題句上,達到強調(diào)的效果.如：“I love my mother” 的結尾:Such is my mother, a kind and hardworking woman.I will respect and love her forever.

3．自然結尾

隨著文章的結束，文章自然而然地結尾。如：“A crow and a Jar”寓言的結尾：Now the water comes up and the crow can reach it.She has a nice ,long drink at last.

4．含蓄性的結尾

用比喻或含蓄的手法不直接點明作者的看法，而是讓讀者自己去領會和思考。如“A Day of Harvesting”的結尾：Evening came before we realized it.We put down our sickles and looked at each other.Our clothes were wet with sweat,but on every face there was a smile.
