写作是英语词汇、语法和使用英语诸方面能力的真实反应。高考中的书面表达是一种有控制的写作（controlled writing），或称有指导的作文 （guided composition）。随着近年来学生英语水平的提高，高考书面表达的要求也在不断提高。五年前可以得20分的作文，现在连15分也得不上了。因此，考生必须重视书面表达的备考与应试。

    一、 好作文的具体要求2011全国将有20套左右高考试题，书面表达题的测试形式和所占分数也各有不同。但一般的要求是：根据所给情景，写一篇100个单词左右的书面材料；情景包括目的、对象、时间、地点、内容等，提供情景的形式有图画、图表、提纲、短文等。书面表达的要求是：切中题意；语言准确，得当；条理清楚。

    好的作文应达到以下几点（多数省市要求写一篇短文，计分25分）：1.要点全面、表达准确、语句连贯，符合交际要求。

    2.能用书写体熟练清楚地书写，格式、连笔、词距、标点正确。

    （五）得分与启示

    第一篇得分：19分；第二篇得分：13分。

    启示：

    1.第一篇得了高分是因为该文内容要点全，符合交际要求、语言地道，有复杂句式，顺畅连接和准确用语。

    2.第二篇得了三档的分数是因为该文虽然内容要点齐全，但语言功底不够，句式平庸，只会一般词汇，且有一定语言错误。

    3.考生要想得一个高分就一定要注意内容要全，连接要顺畅，句式要有变化，符合交际要求。

    三、书面表达应试要领

    1.第一步是仔细审题。重点注意内容要点，写作对象和交际目的。

    2.要写草稿，实在没时间也要写一个提纲。

    3.确定好时态。转述别人观点常用现在时。记叙经常发生的事用一般现在时，描写过去发生的事用过去时。

    4.不出现中文，不用汉语拼音。不生造中国式的英语。要用你听过的话来说，用你读过的句子来写。

    5.第一句很重要，不要轻易下笔。尾句部分容易出错，要留意。

    6.为防止遗漏内容要点，可在原题上标出记号。

    7.几个必要的连词一定要用，或顺接、或转折、或让步、或比较。

    8.写记叙文，注意六个要素：who， where， when， why， how and the result.

    9.议论文，注意论点与论据一致。还要注意是让你写一方观点还是介绍对立的两种观点。

    10.应用文主要是写信或通知，告知活动安排。一般按时间顺序写比较稳妥。

    11.试卷注意部分给出的参考词汇应尽量用上，不要自作主张忽略不用。

    12.词汇的闪光之处即不要重复你在本文中用过的和大家都可能用的。全是简单句得不了好分。要用新颖的词汇传达最通俗的信息。

    13.采用多变的句式，如被动句式、定语从句，with加复合宾语以及倒装句等。

    14.有时候阅读题中的句型可以稍加改造，抄来用在自己的作文中。

    15.字数一般应稍多于试题的最低要求，但不宜过长，因为言多有失。

    16.写完后要检查复核，重点看动词的使用。最好是写完作文后先查查别的题型，因为自己刚写完的东西马上检查常常看不出问题。

    四、书面表达提高措施

    （一）几个小建议

    4.初学写作多写记叙文。
