English composition writing methods

How to write English composition well? English writing actually has methods and skills. The following are the writing methods of English composition that I have collected and compiled. Friends in need can refer to it!

English composition writing methods

1. Flexibly change the beginning of the sentence

Usually In this case, the arrangement of English sentences is "subject + predicate + object", that is, the subject is located at the beginning of the sentence. However, if you appropriately change the way the sentence begins according to the situation, such as using an inverted adverbial or starting with an adverbial, etc., the expressiveness of the article will be enhanced. Such as:

　(1) There stands an old temple at the top of the hill.

　? At the top of the hill there stands an old temple.

There is an ancient temple on the top of the hill.

　(2) You can do it well only in this way.

　? Only in this way can you do it well.

　Only in this way can you do it well. It's done well.

　(3) A young woman sat by the window.

　? By the window sat a young woman.

　A young woman sat by the window.

2. Avoid using the same word repeatedly

In order to make the expression more vivid and expressive, students should try to avoid using the same word repeatedly to express the same meaning when writing, especially are some cliche words. For example, when some students see the word "like", they will immediately think of like. In fact, there are many words and phrases with similar meanings in English, such as love, enjoy, prefer, appreciate, be fond of, care for, etc. Such as:

I like reading while my brother likes watching television.

? I like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.

I like reading while I My brother likes to watch TV.

3. Reasonable use of omitted sentences

Reasonable and appropriate use of omitted sentences can not only make the article concise and concise, but also make the article more literary and readable. Such as:

(1) He may be busy. If he?s busy, I?ll call later. If he is not busy, can I see him now?

? He may be busy. If so, I?ll call later. If not, can I see him now?

　He may be busy. If so, I'll call later.

If he is not busy, can I see him now?

(2) If the weather is fine, we?ll go. If it is not fine, we?ll not go.

If the weather is fine, we?ll go. If not, not.

If the weather is good, we will go; if the weather is bad, we will not go.

　(3) She could have applied for that job, but she didn?t do so.

　? She could have applied for that job, but she didn?t.

She could have applied for the job, but she didn't.

4. Appropriate use of non-predicate structures

Non-predicate structures are usually considered to be advanced structures. Appropriate use of non-predicate structures will give people the impression of mastering language. Such as:

　(1) When he heard the news, they all jumped for joy.

　? Hearing the news, they all jumped for joy.

Listen They all jumped for joy when they heard the news.

　(2) As I didn?t know her address, I wasn?t able to get in touch with her.

5. Use a combination of long and short sentences

In English writing, it is not good to use too many long sentences or too many short sentences. The correct approach is to alternately use long sentences and phrases in the article according to the actual situation to make the article appear well-organized. This not only adds beauty to the article in form, but also makes the article read sonorously and powerfully. Such as:

At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Then we had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.

At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes and playing chess.
