写作技巧
一、了解高分作文的特点
要想作文获得高分，必须了解高分作文具有的特点，才有助于我们朝之而努力。高分作文一般具有以下特点： 1、书写工整，书面整洁，很少有涂改痕迹。
2、分段合理。全文分段一般不止一个自然段，让阅卷老师很容易就能找到作文所要求写的要点和重要句子。 3、要点齐全，不缺要点。 4、首尾呼应，自然成一体。
5、使用了大量的高级词汇和句型。阅卷老师一看就知道这个同学的功底非不一般，自然就给打高分了。 6、开头言简意赅，不啰嗦，不偏题，迅速引入主题。 7、段与段之间，自然过渡。有合适的连接词。
8、句与句之间，有恰当的连接词，使之自然成一体。
9、全文中同一个意思，基本没有重复使用某一个词、短语或者句型等，说明这个同学的词汇量不同寻常。老师自然就对该作文有好感了。
10、能够恰当使用谚语、格言等给文章添彩。 二、勤积累，巧准备
要想作文得高分，除了了解以上的特点外，还要在平时的学习中注意一下方面： 1、牢记课标词汇是基础
一篇作文多数是由积极词汇写出来的，这些词汇主要来源于课标。因此，牢记课标词汇是写好作文的基础。 2、掌握课标词汇和短语的用法
要想作文不扣分或者少扣分，有个要求是作文的语病少。怎么能够减少语病呢？这就要求我们在平时的学习过程中反复通过练习，掌握课标词汇和短语等的用法。例如，对于as soon as 、stop some body from doing something 、other 、another等的用法很多学生就经常出错。
3、高度重视同一个意思的多种表达方式
高分作文有个特点是：让老师发现你拥有丰富的词汇量，你的水平高人一筹。这由何而来？靠我们在平时学习过程中，逐步积累起来的。比如：今年的中考作文，谈的就是帮助他人的问题。同一个意思“帮助”，假如你就用一个动词“help”，岂不显得你词汇贫乏？假如你在作文中不断地变换方式，用help、give somebody a hand、 give a hand to somebody 、be in need of 等以表达“帮助”同一个意思，岂不更好呢？
像这样的例子很多，比如：大家都觉得很简单又很基础的“表示姓名的方式”就有：My name is Jim. I’m Jim. I’m called/named Jim. I’m a boy called /named /with the name of Jim. 等等。
表达年龄的方式有：She is 12. She is 12 years old. She is aged 12. She is a girl of 12(years old) . She is a girl aged 12.等等。
很显然，使用高级一点的更好。 4、加强练习，积累经验
学习语言最好的方法是运用，作文也不例外。我们要想作文得高分，必须经常练习，才能提高水平。 5、充分利用作文范文
很多资料书上都有作文范文。诚然，他们有很多值得借鉴的地方。
我们怎么利用它们呢？首先，我们先不要看文章，自己先思考一下：假如你来写，你会怎么去写，会用到哪些词或者句子等。然后去比较，勾出其中的好词佳句，并且把它摘录在专门的作文册子上。供写作时选用。 另外，背一些范文也是很有必要的。 6、背诵一些谚语和警句
作文中如果出现恰当的谚语和警句，会有锦上添花的效果。
三、精心审题，沉着写初稿
很多同学看到作文后，下笔就写。这是不对的。一则很容易写偏题、写出病句，涂改后书面又不整洁，影响得分。

其实，会写作文的同学都知道，审题非常的重要，可以防止很多毛病，提高得分。那么我们审题要做些什么呢？ 审题主要要做一下事情： 1、审人称、时态、体裁等
审题时，要求我们要弄清楚这篇文章主要使用的人称是第几人称，什么时态、什么体裁。这些问题解决后至少不会犯很严重的错误：全文皆错。例如，如果一篇文章，本来应该一般过去时，你的每句话却用了一般现在时态。你想想，那还能得高分吗？
2、明确必须表达的要点
高分作文有个特点是要点齐全。如果漏掉一个要点，则要扣分。因此我们必须认真细读其要求，把必须表达的要点勾出来。保证不漏掉任何一个要点。
3、罗列出可能会用到的短语、句型，确定好使用哪个？ 4、确定好如何分段
就是要确定好，将哪些要点放在一个自然段里面，首段、尾段打算写哪些？ 四、耐心修改，提炼句子
很多同学写完作文后就感觉大事已毕，高兴地放下笔就了事了。其实，这时候，不妨从以下方面去修改，相信会让你受益匪浅的。
1、巧妙选择使用高级词汇、短语、句型等
当我们掌握了一定量的同意表达法之后，在写作时有时不会让你都运用到的。这时为了展示你与众不同的能力，你务必要选择高级的。例如，就以今年中考的英语作文为例，它就要求写“帮助老人的感受”。至于“老人”的表达法，有old people和the old 。使用后者的同学自然能力比前者强。同样的道理，作文中的“病人”的表达法有sick people ，patients ，the sick ，你认为使用哪个更能显示你的高水平呢？当然是the sick了。 2、巧妙使用低级表达法代替自己的难点
我们写作时难免会遇到一些难以用英语表达的东西。怎么办呢？换为最简单的表达法吧。例如：我市今年中考作文题，就要求学生表达一个意思：帮助同学，可以增进友谊。很多学生翻译不来“增进”，面对这样的问题怎么办呢？怎么不换个说法呢？你看，If we help our classmates with their study and other things , we can make our friendship longer .不就达到目的了吗？
3、大胆改变句型，使之生辉
例如，我们将一些句子改为感叹句，复合句、强调句、反意疑问句、将句子改得更能显示你的高水平和能力。何乐而不为呢？
4高度关注句与句 、段与段之间的衔接问题。务必做到过渡自然，衔接紧凑。 5、适当引用个别谚语或警句，来提高作文档次。 五、一丝不苟抄誊作文
一篇好的作文，经过审题、修改之后，务必要一丝不苟地抄誊在答题卷上，再认真地仔细检查一遍，那才是大公告成了。
