The following are some tips for writing a good composition:

1. Appropriately use passive instead of active. This can reflect the facts more objectively. Do not always use we / at the beginning of a sentence. I (For example, when writing the ending, do not use we should pay attention to but use Attention should be paid to.) Take the last paragraph of the classic ending of the sixth grade composition in June 2004: It is, therefore, high time that some applicable approaches were implemented by the service industry like that. Thus, its competitive edge will be sharpened effectively.

2. Be good at using parentheses, such as adverbs, conjunctions, etc., as parentheses in the middle, usually in the subject After , verb or auxiliary verb, add commas on both sides.

For example, however / therefore /for example/I believe is placed in the middle as a parenthesis, usually after the verb or auxiliary verb, with commas on both sides.

For example: Other individuals, however, take the attitude that…

3. You must learn to change words and images, and replace those that are too broad with those that are specific. (Good, bad, many, thing, think, people, opinion, etc. are generally not allowed to appear in the exam) For example, in the above example, applicable replaces proper, approaches replaces ways, implement replaces carry out, sharpen one's competitive edge replaces enhance one ''s competitiveness(increase the competitiveness of something)

English writing is a complex thinking process that affects cognitive ability, thinking ability, language ability, organizational ability and self-monitoring ability All have very high requirements. At the same time, it is also a necessary practice for learning English and an important means of communication. English writing can help improve the accuracy of using English; it can expand the scope of language use and promote flexible use of language; it can cultivate the ability to think logically and analyze problems. It especially promotes reading, listening and speaking in the process of English learning. English writing has therefore received more and more attention. No matter what kind of composition you write, you must first choose words, make sentences, and then form paragraphs and composition. Therefore, one should learn and acquire the knowledge and ability to choose words, form sentences, form paragraphs, and plan articles.

1. Word selection

Words are the raw materials for making sentences. When choosing words, you should pay attention to the following points.

1. Distinguish language styles. English words are divided into written and spoken styles. For example: laboratory-lab, mathematical-maths, etc. The former is written language and the latter is spoken language. When writing a composition, you should mainly use written words and use less spoken words.

2． Clarify the part of speech. English words have multiple genders, and there are also several words derived from the same root. For example, die (verb), death (noun), and dead (adjective) all mean "death", but they have different parts of speech and their usage is also different. Not the same.

3. The use of idioms. Idioms are fixed phrases that have been used for a long time, such as She goes to school, "She goes to school", and "She goes to the school" means she goes to school (doing errands). There is an additional definite article in the latter sentence, which means Big difference.

4． Identify word meanings. There are many synonyms in English, and there are also cases where a word has multiple meanings. For example, whether and if both mean "whether". In addition, the word If can mean both "whether" and "if".

5. Pay attention to spelling. When writing, problems such as spelling errors, capitalization, and punctuation often occur.

2. Sentence

A sentence is the smallest unit to express meaning. When making sentences, you should pay attention to the following points.

1. To write correct sentences

(1) Complete the subject and predicate, remember the five basic sentence patterns of simple sentences: ①S+Vi, ②S+V+P ③S+Vt+P ④S+Vt+Oi+ Od ⑤S+Vt+O.+O.C..

(2) The word order is appropriate. Some English word orders have rules to follow. For example: always, never, often, seldom, these frequency adverbs are generally placed in front of action verbs and after linking verbs, auxiliary verbs or modal verbs.

(3) The relationship is consistent. This includes the consistency of the subject-predicate relationship, the consistency of the pronoun-reference relationship, the consistency of the tense relationship before and after the sentence, etc.

2. To write beautiful sentences

The criteria for a good sentence are as follows.

(1) Complete. Completeness is the first key to a good sentence. A complete sentence expresses a single, complete meaning. It does not contain meanings that are not closely related, nor does it express meanings that are not themselves complete.

(2) Coherence. Coherence refers to the clear and reasonable connection between the parts of a sentence. The words and parts of the sentence should be connected appropriately and the relationship between them should be clear.

(3) Simplicity. There should not be any unnecessary words in the sentence. As long as the meaning is fully expressed, the fewer words the better. Using too many words will only obscure the meaning, not make it clearer.

(4) Emphasis. All important meanings should be emphasized when expressed. To do this, people can use various methods when speaking, such as raising their voice, speaking slower, using short sentences or adding gestures. When writing an article, you can also use methods such as inversion, exclamation, repetition, and rhetorical questions to emphasize the words and sentences that should be emphasized.

(5) Diversity. A variety of sentence patterns is essential for good writing. Short sentences and long sentences, simple sentences, parallel sentences and compound sentences, circular sentences and loose sentences should be used in a mixed manner. You can also use a question, imperative or exclamation. But don’t change sentence patterns frequently just for the sake of variety.

3. Paragraphs

A paragraph is not only a component of the article, but also a self-contained and relatively independent whole. It usually consists of a main theme sentence, an expansion sentence and a concluding sentence.

1. Theme sentence. The topic sentence reveals the center of the paragraph and is placed at the beginning of the paragraph. From a rhetorical point of view, the main theme sentence should be a relatively concise sentence so that the reader can easily understand the main idea of ??the paragraph.

2. Extended sentences. The content of the extended sentence must surround and support the main sentence. Extended sentences that deviate from the main theme are superfluous and should be deleted. From a rhetorical point of view, if several extended sentences can use simple sentences, parallel sentences and compound sentences respectively, the entire paragraph will appear more lively and not so monotonous and dull.

3. Final sentence. The concluding sentence is an echo of the main theme sentence and usually leads to the result stated in the extended sentence.

A paragraph is just like a mini-article. Its content should be complete, coherent and well developed. Complete content requires that each sentence in the paragraph closely revolves around the same center or theme. If it is necessary to create a new topic, a new paragraph will be necessary. Coherent content requires clear writing, clear hierarchical structure, and an inherent logical relationship between sentences. In addition, a well-developed paragraph should use one or several appropriate expansion methods. There are many ways to expand paragraphs, such as by time, by process, by space, by examples, by analogies and contrasts, by cause-and-effect analysis, by classification, or a combination of several methods.

4. Planning an article

An article should have relatively complete content and structure. It usually contains an introduction paragraph, an extension paragraph, and a conclusion paragraph. The opening paragraph should be engaging, pique the reader's interest and curiosity about the content of the article, and provide necessary background knowledge. This thesis section presents the author's views and arguments, and the narrative should be clear and logical. The concluding part explains the essence and significance of the argument. This part often ends with a powerful sentence to deepen the reader's impression. Common English compositions include Narration, Description, Exposition, Argumentation and Practical Writing.

1． narrative. Narratives generally describe an event in the form of pictures.

2. Descriptive writing. Generally, it is required to describe a person, place or indicate a route, etc.

3. Explanatory text. It is used to explain a point of view, or explain its purpose, usage, etc.

4. Argumentative essay. It is a request to put forward one's own views and opinions on something and to persuade the reader.

5. Practical writing. Generally, they are letters, diaries, notices, notes, invitations, resumes, etc.

English writing ability is not achieved overnight. It must be trained from shallow to deep, from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, step by step, and closely linked.

Teachers should focus on basic skills training and strictly require students to write letters, words and sentences correctly, neatly and skillfully, paying attention to capitalization and punctuation. According to the "word - sentence - paragraph - article" formula, students are encouraged and guided to read more and practice more, persevere, and practice makes perfect, so that they can reach the state of "writing like a god".
