Extreme weather English

English is a very practical communication language, and students learn to use it skillfully. The implementation of the new curriculum standards puts forward higher requirements for middle school students' English application ability, especially in oral communication and practical writing. Through English writing training, we can cultivate students' rich imagination, logical thinking ability and language organization ability, and finally achieve the goal of flexible use of English. Here I would like to express my personal views on the cultivation of practical English writing ability.

If you want to write a successful English composition, you must pay attention to two basic elements-language and thinking, both of which are indispensable. When we write a composition in Chinese as our mother tongue, we basically don't have to spend too much time and energy thinking about how to use the language, but focus on the content. But in English writing, we should pay special attention to language and content. If you don't handle it properly, you can't write a high-quality English composition. "How to write English and how to improve English writing more effectively?" This is the primary task of our English teaching under the new curriculum standards.

Step by step, accumulate vocabulary

Writing training must follow the principle of from easy to difficult and step by step. Words and sentences are the basic materials of writing. Many practical words close to life have been added to the teaching materials of the new curriculum standard. Usually, we should pay close attention to the basic vocabulary and phrases in books. Rich vocabulary and phrases are the premise and key to improve English writing ability. In teaching, teachers must include words and phrases in sentences, and always stick to words to improve students' sentence-making ability. Students should not only make isolated sentences with vocabulary, but also make a series of sentences with related meanings to express a complete meaning according to the needs of life or the situation provided by teachers.

Second, accumulate materials and strengthen grammar.

English is a structural language with its own fixed collocations, idioms and basic sentence patterns. Therefore, we should always pay attention to these language knowledge, accumulate grammar knowledge, do more oral translation exercises and do more reading exercises. After reading, each student is required to take reading notes and write down or remember idioms, fixed words, wonderful sentences and short and pithy paragraphs that appear in the text. This can enhance students' sense of English language, accumulate rich language materials, and strengthen their mastery and practical application of English grammar through various exercises.

Third, guide correctly and master skills.

Any style has its own writing characteristics and requirements, and there are also differences in writing between English and Chinese. In order to guide students correctly and give them a good writing skill, teachers can carefully select model essays of various themes and genres and send them to students in batches, so as to guide students to explore their writing characteristics and taste language characteristics on the premise of understanding the meaning.

Fourth, stimulate interest and strengthen training.

1. Keep practicing before class.

After a period of training, students have acquired a certain ability to choose words and make sentences. At this time, teachers can start a series of imitative oral writing training before each class according to the content of the text they have learned. The new curriculum standards are all examples close to real life, which students can feel. For example, Unit 3 of Book 3-Natural Violence involves many words about natural disasters and extreme weather: earthquake, flood, hurricane, damage, destruction, strike, occurrence and so on. Students can combine their own words and make oral compositions about the Wenchuan earthquake. Usually, for this kind of exercises, students should be guided to understand the content, time and environment to be expressed, and then analyze and synthesize the materials they have mastered. Students can be encouraged to make a draft and write an outline before class to ensure that the main ideas they want to express can be presented in an orderly manner. Over time, while exercising oral expression ability, it also effectively improves writing ability.

2. Keep an English diary

Advocate the habit of keeping an English diary every day. After all, the practice in class is limited, so students should be encouraged to keep a diary in English, write down what they see and hear every day or take reading notes. Before writing, it is best for students to write an outline, because writing an outline can help students better grasp the progressive relationship between the logical organization of ideological content and context, and avoid taking too big a step in expressing ideological content in language, or jumping off the theme and making the content irrelevant to the theme. After the outline is completed, check it carefully. After confirmation, the composition should be developed in strict accordance with the outline and expressed step by step. When writing, we should pay attention to the correct cohesion and natural fluency of the context. We should pay attention to the use of fixed collocations, idioms and basic sentence patterns that have been accumulated, and pay attention to the different expressions between English and American languages and Chinese, and we should not arbitrarily apply Chinese formats.

Five, the method is appropriate, to guide the revision.

Comment is an important link to improve writing ability, an important means to improve written language expression ability and an important guarantee for good quality. We can comment in the following ways:

1. self-evaluation

When the manuscript of the article is written according to the listed outline, you should think more and revise it frequently. Thirdly, carefully read the requirements of the topic and the language hints in Chinese and English (including possible text descriptions and pictures), and compare with the outline to recall what points in the composition were not clearly explained or expressed clearly and completely. Teachers can provide some basic correction principles, such as: pay attention to whether there are coordinate conjunctions in the logical relationship between paragraphs and whether they are misused; Pay attention to the confusion between definite articles and indefinite articles; Pay attention to the consistency of tense, voice, sentence structure and subject-predicate collocation; Singular and plural forms of nouns; Selection of various parts of speech; And the use of comparative or superlative degrees. At the same time, we should make a deeper analysis and synthesis of what we have written, and make possible or necessary textual revisions to grasp the spiritual essence of the composition.

2. Group review

When you carefully check this composition yourself, you can be sure that there are no grammatical mistakes or writing mistakes. At this point, you can take it from

Lend your composition to other students for circulation, or ask the teacher to read it to the whole class and ask them to help correct the mistakes. In this way, on the one hand, we can evaluate the composition through communication and communicate with others in spoken English; On the other hand, by evaluating other people's compositions and listening to other people's comments, I can get inspiration for writing. Check whether the writing steps are complete, the format of the article is correct, the paper is neat, the spelling is correct, there are sick sentences, the language of the article is fluent, the interlanguage is natural, and the beginning and end of the article take care of each other. At this time, we must listen to the opinions of our classmates with an open mind, learn from each other's strong points, and strive for concise and accurate language expression.

3. Teacher evaluation

When correcting the composition, the teacher extracts the typical wrong sentences from the students' compositions and writes them on the blackboard, and then lets the students collectively correct their mistakes. This can attract students' attention and train their error correction ability. When explaining, I pay attention to the idea, structure and layout of the composition. The overall analysis of the model essay is also essential. Teachers should also pay attention to communication with students, give students continuous guidance and encouragement in writing, and guide students to work hard in a more perfect direction in written expression.

In the process of teaching practice, I deeply realized: 1. Students' writing ability is a weak link in Chinese and English teaching at present. Teachers should correct their thinking and take it seriously, and never take it lightly. 2. Teachers need to systematically train students' writing ability in a planned and step-by-step way. 3. Teachers should pay attention to guiding students with appropriate methods, with foundation as the foundation, teaching materials as the foundation and practice as the policy. Only in this way can students' writing ability be improved. Only in this way can English writing teaching in middle schools reach a new level under the guidance of new curriculum standards.
