英语作文开头技巧小结常言道“良好的开端是成功的一半。”作文开头如果能恰倒好处,常常能一下子抓住读者,也能增加文章的亮点。所以能否灵活自如地、独特精当地写好作文开头往往关系到一篇文章的成败。对于英语作文来说,写好开头尤为重要。英语作文篇幅简短,开头更须明确文章主题。下面介绍几种常用的英语作文开头写作方法。1、开门见山,直入正题(开门见山法)开门见山法要求开头用一两句话就引出主题,也就是说,让读者快速了解文章的主旨,一目了然,而不是去绕圈子,最终不知所云。比如unit1Book4的《Arewomengivenafairchance?》(《妇女有同等的机会吗》)的开头:Idon’tthinkwomenaregivenafairchancetohaveasgoodacareerasmenforthreereasons.就直接提出观点,直接明了。又如作文“IHaveaDream”(《我有一个梦想》)的开头是这样的:Mydreamistobeadoctor.AndIhaveneverchangedmymindtillnow.2、引用名言警句,推出主题(名言名句法)对于许多作文题,可以使用使用引用名言名句进行开头。因为引用名言名句是经过加工过的语言,有力度,有价值,会使文章增色。这样,用极短的语言就能点明题旨,解决写什么的问题,从而达到快速入题的目的。比如上次诊断性测试中关于考试作弊方面的作文章,就可以引用名言:“Honestyisthebestpolicy.(诚实才是上策)”,一句话即可表明文章主旨,又会使文章上一个档次。又如作文“ComputerGames”(《电脑游戏》)的开头:There’sawell-knownsaying“Asonecoinhastwosides,everythinghasitsadvantagesanddisadvantages.”Computergamesarenoexception.Ithasbroughtusbothadvantagesanddisadvantages.3、出其不意深化主题(欲扬先抑法)有些作文题,为了突出文章中的人物,在开头如果使用欲扬先抑法,给读者留一个反面的印象,后面文风一转,出其不意,会受到良好的效果。这样比正面写某个人要好得多。比如写关于母亲的文章,一般都认为母亲是关爱子女的,你在开头写上:Idon’tthinkmotherlovemeasdeeplyasfatherdoes.…或者是“Ihatemymother.…”会给读者带来兴趣,想读下去。再在文章中间和结尾写出母亲对你的特别关爱,来个出其不意,会取得良好的效果。4、描述现象,引发主题(背景法)这种写法要求先描述一种普遍存在的现象,然后再发表对该现象的看法和观点,从而点明主题。如作文“Say‘No’toSmoking”(《对吸烟说“不”》)的开头:Nowadayssmokingispopular.Evensometeenagerssmoke.Ifyouaskthem“Whydoyousmoke?”Theymightanswer“Itlookscool.”Isitreallyacoolthing?I’mafraidIcan’tagree.5、陈述不同观点,衬托主题(衬托法)简要阐释人们对某一话题的不同观点后,亮明自己更加合理的看法,以起到到一种承托的作用。如作文“MyBestFriend”(《我最要好的朋友》)的开头:“BestFriend”mayhavedifferentdefinitionstodifferentpeople.Achildmayregardtheoneswhoalwayswhispertohimashisbestfriends.Theyoungboysmayregardtheoneswhoalwaysplaywiththemastheirbestfriends.Tome“Bestfriend”istheonewhoIlikebestandwearefaithfultoeachother.6、自问自答,引出主题(提问法)这种方式要求针对某话题先提出问题,然后给予解答,通过答案的方式来呈现观点。如作文“WhatIWanttoBeWhenIGrowUp?”(《我长大了要做什么?》)的开头:WhatIWanttoBeWhenIGrowUp?Myansweris“anEnglishinterpreter”.WhydoIhopetobecomeanEnglishinterpreter?Therearetworeasons.7、身边事件,导出主题(故事法)从身边熟悉的人或事引发感想,导出主题,显得自然、贴切。如作文“FastFood”(《快餐》)的开头:Whenmyseven-year-oldbrotherbehaveswellinschool,hewillaskfornothingbut“KFC”asreward.Asamatteroffactwewouldfinditdifficulttorefusesuchattractionoffastfoodtoo.Butwhyaretheysopopular?四六级写作中常用的开头段的表达方法举例如下:●使用引语(useaquotation)使用一段名人名言,或人们常用的谚语、习语,以确定文章的写作范围和方向。如:“Greatmindsmustbereadynotonlytotaketheopportunity,buttomakethem.”Colton,agreatwriteronceremarked.Butitstillhasaprofoundsignificancenow.Toaperson,inwhoselifetimeopportunitiesarenotmany,tomakeopportunitiesismoreessentialtohissuccess.分析:开头引用Colton的名言说明“创造机会”对于成功的重要性,点明主题。●引用具体或粗略的数据(usefiguresorstatistics)当然对于图表题型,该种方法是必须的选择,具体做法是给出一些具体或粗略的数据,然后作出概括性分析,点明主题或引出需要论述的问题。如:Asisdemonstratedinthetable,moreandmorecollegegraduatesareoutofajobinourcountry,whichisaseriousproblemtooureconomicdevelopmentandsocialsecurity.Itisestimatedthatin2004,thereare500,000unemployedgraduates,morethan30%higherthanin2002.分析:文章引用2004年找不到工作的毕业生达到50万这一数据来说明大学生找工作难这一现象的严重性,很有说服力。●提出问题(askaquestion)提出有争议或探讨性的具体问题,然后加以简要回答或展开引导性简短讨论。如:WhatdoyouwantfromyourworkMoneyPromotionsInterestingchallengesContinuallearningWork-basedfriendshipsTheopportunitytodevelopyourownideaandpotentialsThoughweareallindividualsandsoouranswerswilldiffer,allagreethatworkprovidemorethanmaterialthings.分析:文章开头提出“你想从工作中得到什么”这一问题,然后自问自答,指出工作除了物质利益,还可以给我们带来很多其它收获这一结论。●给出具体实例或报道(offerrelevantexamplesorreports)给出具体生活实例或新闻报道如:Asregardsthestressforcollegestudents,therehasbeenaheateddiscussionamongthepublicinthesociety.Itwasreportedthatastudentkilledfourofhisclassmatesjustbecauseofatrivialmatter.Itcanbeeasilyseenthatpressurehasbecomeaseriousissuewecannotneglect.分析:文章通过引用新闻报道的一个实例,说明了大学生心理问题的严重性。●定义法(givedefinition)针对讨论的主题或问题加以定义,然后进行深入探讨。如:Asweallknow,practicemakesperfect.Thisisanaccumulatedexperienceweinheritfromourforefathers,andnowitisstillwidelyappliedtoourdailylife.Itmeansthatthemorewepractice,themorelikelywearegoingtodothingsperfectly.分析:文章用Itmeansthat这一句型,说明了practicemakesperfect的含义。●主题句法(useoftopicsentence)文章一开始就以主题句点明全文主题,然后围绕主题内容进行发展。如:NowadaysoneoftheseriousproblemsChinaisfacedwithistheincreasingilliteracyamongtheadolescents.AccordingtoarecentsurveybyDr.Li,deanofEducationalDepartmentofBeijingNormalUniversity,about18%ofthechildrenbetween8and15yearsoldhavedroppedoutofschoolacrossthecountry.分析:文章开头即提出中国的文盲现象日益严重这一问题,然后再用实例数据加以佐证。开头段的常用核心句型归纳如下,大家可选择使用:●Asopposedtogenerallyacceptedviews,Ibelievethat…●Thearguermayberightabout…,butheseemstoneglecttomentionthefactthat….●Althoughitiscommonlyagreedthat…,itisunlikelytobetruethat….●Thereisanelementoftruthinthisstatement,butitignoresadeeperandmorebasicfactthat….●Inallthediscussionanddebateover…,oneimportantfactisgenerallyoverlooked.●Onthesurface(Atfirstthought),it(this)mayseemasound(anattractive)suggestion(solution/idea),butcarefulweighingonthemind(oncloseranalysis/onsecondthought),wefindthat…●Althoughmanypeoplebelievethat…,Iwonderwhethertheargumentbearsmuchanalysis●Thedanger(problem/fact/truth/point)isthat….●IagreewiththeabovestatementbecauseIbelievethat….●Thereisapubliccontroversynowadaysovertheissueof….Thosewhoobjectto…arguethat….Butpeoplewhofavor…
