高考英語作文在高考試卷中占有相當高的分值，即使你將前邊的題答得不怎么好，但是英語作文寫得及其不錯的話，英語也可以照樣拿高分，只不過想要寫好英語作文需要下苦工，長期鉆研才行。在高考作文中，老師比較青睞寫得雖少但是內容豐富的作文，而不喜歡長篇大論而沒有實際內容的作文，因此，練好英語作文“短話長說”非常重要。本文是教育論文發表期刊中的經典范文，講的就是如何練好高考英語作文“短話長說”。

　　關鍵詞：高考,英語作文,“短話長說”

　　要在高考英語作文中得到高分，考生除讓自己的文章有“亮點”(即使用復雜多樣的句式結構、使用較高級詞匯、使用適當的連詞)。還要注意在詞數上符合規定的要求，而實際上由于的題材多樣性，有的作文題目所提供的信息只有字數很少的一個綱。所以有很多同學時感到無話可說，寫出的作文達不到要求的詞數，導致作文得分很低。本文就從這一問題著手談談讓英語作文“短話長說”的方法：

　　一、利用作文模版

　　各種題材的作文模版資料書上都有，這里僅以對“比觀點題型”模版為例：

　　要求論述兩個對立的觀點并給出自己的看法。

　　1)有一些人認為……

　　2)另一些人認為……

　　3)我的看法……

　　The topic of ①_____(主題)is becoming more and more popular recently. There are two sides of opinions about it. Some people say A is their favorite. They hold their view for the reason of ②_____(支持A的理由一)What is more, ③_____(理由二). Moreover, ④ _____(理由三).

　　While others think that B is a better choice in the following three reasons. Firstly, _____ (支持B的理由一). Secondly (besides),⑥ _____(理由二).Thirdly (finally),⑦_____ (理由三).

　　From my point of view, I think ⑧_____(我的觀點). The reason is that ⑨_____ (原因).As a matter of fact, there are some other reasons to explain my choice. For me, the former is surely a wise choice .

　　這樣，經常利用作文模版訓練，能讓不會的同學學會布局謀篇，而且也能達到作文詞數的要求。需要同學們在實際中經常加以模仿訓練，才能收到實效。

　　二、用附加成分作解釋說明

　　方法就是通過添加與所給信息有關的前因后果及條件時間和目的等內容來增加詞數。

　　例1：這樣更方便照顧父母。

　　拓展原因 ：因為父母越來越年邁。

　　It will be much more convenient to look after your parents，as (because)they are getting older and older.

　　例2：因廣告過多，影片放映晚點。

　　拓展后果 ：這導致觀眾不耐煩甚至惱火。

　　There were so many advertisements that they delayed the time of showing the film, which made audience impatient and some of them even annoyed.(或者用making audience impatient and some of them even annoyed)

　　例3：安全出口(exit)標志不明，存在安全隱患(potential hazard)。

　　拓展條件 ：萬一遇到危險， 觀眾難以逃脫。

　　The exit is not clear, so there will be potential hazard.In case of danger, it is difficult for the audience to escape.

　　例4：電視廣告破壞了故事的完整性。

　　拓展結果：從而使觀眾厭煩且沒有耐心。

　　The whole story are spoiled with repeated advertisements inserted ,making audience bored and impatient .

　　三、添加諺語(Proverb)

　　例1：鍛煉對學生有好處。

　　It is good for us students to take exercise.

　　短話長說:As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”It is good for us students to take exercise.

　　例2：集中注意力于學習。

　　We should focus our mind on our studies.

　　短話長說:As the saying goes, “No pains, no gains.”We should focus our mind on our studies...

　　例3：多吃健康食品，遠離垃圾食品。

　　They should also eat a more balanced diet such as fruits and vegetables, and less fast food and junk food.

　　短話長說:As the saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” They should also eat a more balanced diet such as fruits and vegetables, and less fast food and junk food.

　　四、舉例說明

　　例1：青少年應盡我們所能保護環境拯救地球。

　　We teenagers should do what we can to protect the environment and save the earth. For example, we can use recyclable bags instead of plastic bags, refuse to use single-use products, plant more trees and save water and energy.

　　例2：人口密集地區遭受許多自然災害。

　　Many populated areas suffer from many natural disasters such as flood, hurricanes, droughts or other disasters.

　　五、善于運用短語詞組

　　時，尤其是在考試時，如果使用短語，有兩個好處：其一、用短語會使文章增加亮點，如果老師們看到你的文章太簡單，看不到一個短語，必然會看你低一等。相反，如果發現精彩的短語，那么你的文章定會得高分了。其二、關鍵時刻思維短路，只有湊字數，怎么辦?用短語就是一個辦法!短語用得好，還會給評卷員留下深刻印象。比如：

　　例1：I cannot bear it. (普通)

　　可以用短語表達：I cannot put up with it. (高級)

　　例2：I want it. (普通)

　　可以用短語表達：I am looking forward to it. (高級)

　　例3：I agree with what you said.(普通)

　　I am in favor of what you said.(高級)

　　I approve of what you said.(高級)

　　六、適當發揮想象，補充細節，寫出優美的句子

　　比較下面幾個句子：

　　我們村周圍曾是一片樹林。

　　There used to be a forest around our village. (普通)

　　Our village used to be surrounded by green trees. (普通)

　　Our village used to be a beautiful place surrounded by green trees,making it the best home for the birds and animals. (高級)

　　七、結尾提出倡議、號召或具體措施

　　例1：珍惜每一滴水。

　　To protect our valuable water resources, we should call on people to cherish every drop of water. Otherwise, maybe the last drops of water will be our tears.

　　As middle school students, we also have a part to play. Do remember: we are not saving water , we are saving our own life. With everyone doing his bit, we can make a difference. (提出倡議、號召)

　　例2：呼吁相關部門就電視廣告插播太多現象給予解決。

　　For the sake of the audience ,we hope that relevant departments can take effective measures to limit the number and time of advertisements being broadcast;Meanwhile,Tv stations shouldn’t think of nothing but making money.Instead ，they must allow for audience’s interests . (提出具體措施)

　　這樣字數明顯增加，表達也更準確和具體了。

　　書面表達能力的提高取決于同學們平時的積累和訓練。考生平時一定要注重掌握好英語常用詞匯和詞組句型，同時在技巧上多花些功夫，多背誦經典范文和其他同學的優秀習作，加上自己有效扎實的訓練，英語作文水平就會不斷提高，起來就會有話可說，短話長說，寫出達到要求詞數的好作文。
