Among the five English language abilities advocated by Lyman English, writing is considered one of the important compulsory subjects. It is both the short-term goal of English learning—one of the contents required by the exam; and the long-term goal of English learning—one of the abilities necessary for communication. There is no doubt that English writing is a comprehensive reflection of basic knowledge, basic abilities and extracurricular information. At the same time, it must also take into account the writer's superb writing skills. Therefore, it is very difficult to write an excellent English composition without solid knowledge of English grammar; without long-term and unremitting training; without scientific method guidance; without extensive knowledge and information beyond textbooks.

You must know that English writing is crucial to cultivating a person's English way of thinking. Without any external pressure, learners can fully think about the sentence structure and repeatedly refine the content they want to express. After long-term training, the purpose of quantitative change to qualitative change can be achieved. Therefore, English writing is often not about writing itself, but it can help learners review, utilize and innovate the knowledge they have learned. More importantly, the cultivation of writing ability can directly affect the formation of learners' English speaking ability. This is the common knowledge of knowledgeable people in the industry, especially some English teachers.

For most Chinese school students, because the teaching materials do not have very strong requirements for composition and the teachers’ requirements are not very clear, the composition training is naturally not very sufficient, resulting in their composition scores in the exam not being as good as others. willing. Most English training institutions in society ignore the importance of English composition in English learning. They place more emphasis on the external performance of English ability, such as speaking and listening. Lehmann's English teaching philosophy attaches great importance to English writing, and has specially written a series of Lehmann English writing tutorials for this purpose, with the purpose of improving students' language creativity.

Lyman English has summarized a series of practical experiences in English writing during many years of teaching practice, and has consulted a large number of English test papers from different regions, especially composition topics, and believes that the following goals of English composition and requirements are the first things students must meet when writing essays:

1. The first paragraph is engaging:

Try your best to make the first natural paragraph as engaging as possible, and achieve "language" I won’t stop until I am amazing.” To achieve this, students are required to read a large number of extracurricular books, including Chinese and English, to achieve broad knowledge, flexible viewpoints, and superb writing skills.

2. Phrases and sentence patterns:

In English compositions, the use of phrases and sentence patterns can help demonstrate the writer's English proficiency. This requires students to systematically study basic knowledge. Here are some examples:

Prefer doing; enjoy doing; like doing. It can be seen that different types and levels of phrases and sentence patterns can express the writer's different views and English proficiency.

3. Compound sentences:

In English writing, the use of subject-slave compound sentences is also essential. There is no need for subject-subordinate compound sentences in primary school English compositions, but starting from junior high school, subject-subordinate compound sentences (at least 1-2) must be used in writing. Because only subject-slave compound sentences can express more complex views; only subject-subordinate compound sentences can allow the grader to see the true level of the writer's English proficiency.

4. Connecting words:

The so-called connecting words refer to those adverbs, conjunctions and a large number of prepositional phrases used to connect the previous and the following. The necessary use of conjunctions in English compositions can make sentences more fluent, avoid the separation and independence of each sentence, and make the article logical and coherent. Chinese students have mastered a large number of such words and phrases during their studies, but except for but, because, etc., they rarely use them actively, making the articles they write quite dry and abrupt.

5. Tenses:

There is no doubt that tense is one of the important categories of basic English knowledge and one of the important characteristics that distinguishes it from Chinese. And English composition is an assessment of students’ comprehensive abilities.

Therefore, in your composition, you must include the accurate use of tenses to make your opinions and the plot you describe more accurate. Because there is no concept of tense in Chinese, it is very easy for Chinese students to make mistakes in English tense or ignore the use of state of affairs, which will greatly compromise the English compositions they write.

6. Chinese-English Translation:

In the Lyman English teaching philosophy, we place greater emphasis on the importance of translation training. Whether it is English-Chinese translation or Chinese-English translation, these are basic abilities necessary for learning English, or in other words, they are both top-level abilities. Therefore, in English compositions, the use of Chinese-English translation techniques will undoubtedly help writers express their opinions more fully. This kind of translation training is extremely lacking in most teaching materials and English classes. Lyman English has summarized some Chinese-English translation techniques with special effects and intuitive effects, which will be explained in subsequent lectures.

7. Writing and typesetting:

As everyone knows, writing and typesetting is the second face of a person. The writing and layout of an essay directly affects the emotions of the grader, and will inevitably affect the final score of the essay.

8. Extracurricular reading and long-term training

Extensive reading of different kinds of books outside of class, especially reading of some fine articles, to increase the amount of information. At the same time, long-term and continuous training through diaries, weekly diaries, letters, notes, notifications, text messages and proposition writing can gradually improve English writing skills.

To sum up, English composition is an output of basic knowledge and a manifestation of comprehensive ability. It is a process of accumulating a large amount of information and a process of continuous cultivation.
