1、怎样提高中学生英语写作能力？How to Improve the Middle School Students, English Writing ?AcknowledgementI would like to express my sincere thanks to my advisor for her valuable directions and suggestions and for her generosity in spending her time discussing questions concerning this thesis and for her constant en

2、couragement as well. I also wish to express my further thanks to all my teachers, whose courses and lectures have inspired me to write this thesis.Moreover, I must thank my family for supporting me. Without them, I have no enough time to complete my thesis.Abstract:In regards of learning and living,

3、 modern people have more chances to use English. Because writing is one of the most important ways of language, great interests have been shown in English writing by second language learners. The scores of English writing have been raised every year. English writing produces a marked effect. So we s

4、ay that English writing is very important for us. But in the middle school, the students English writing is a weak link. Writing faces to many difficulties and problems in the English learning. I have taken some measures to improve their writing ability in many respects. First I tell students the im

5、portances of English writing, then enrich their vocabulary, practice their basic skills, and practise more.Reading and listening are to comprehend students expression. It is a process from the external language to internal language. Speaking and writing are to express their own ideas with language.

6、It is a process from the internal language to external language. So writing ability is based on the ability of reading and listening. 3At the same time, the training of writing can go a step further for the improvement of reading and listening ability. In my opinion, in order to improve writing abil

7、ity, it is very important to improve other abilities. It is meaningful for the students to train these four abilities. So we should penetrate writing in the whole teaching process combining it with reading, listening, speaking and so on.IV. ProblemsAt present, the purpose of middle school English te

8、aching is to improve students skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. However, the teachers and the students yield to the examinations, which result in many problems in English learning, particularly in English writing.We should try our best to find where the English writing problems are

9、 in order to solve them in the best ways. By teaching, I find the main problems of our English writing as following.4.1 Pay no attention to writing.Teachers and students think it is not important to practice writing in junior one and junior two. They prefer tactics for the examination of entering sc

10、hools of a higher grade. Writing is not taught systematically to students, such as how to choose words, make sentences, organize paragraphs, conceive the whole essay and so on.4.2 Problems in making sentences.Our students always make grammar mistakes in writing and they do not make sentences in Engl

11、ish. This is a common problem because English is different from Chinese in grammar structure and language customs. So most students do not how to write a complete composition with the easiest words.4.3 Lack of vocabularies,the logic abilities and imagination abilities.The students usually can not wr

12、ite a complete composition because of their small vocabularies. Sometimes, the teachers cannot understand what they write or what they want to express beause of too many wrong words and missing words. Meanwhile, they also lack of the abilities of expressing their ideas in other ways.Moreover, they d

13、o not know how to make up a complete or better composition with the sentences because they lack of the logic abilities and the imagination abilities to beautify their composition.Because of the above reasons, some students can not write English compositions well, and even they are in dread of writin

14、g. Consequently, very few students can use English to express their own ideas skillfully. In the long run, this causes the vicious circles. So the teachers should pay more attention to the students writing in English teaching. It is very necessary to give guidance on the students writing and it is q

15、uite important for the students to practice writing more. At the same time, students should also do their best to improve the writingability.V. Methods of improving students7 writing abilityAs an English teacher, I often ask my students to read more. When they read, they can try their best to find w

16、hat kind of grammar structures the sentences contain. They even try their best to think if they can make similar sentences. Meanwhile, they can also find what kind of compositions they read and think if they can write similar composition.Besides, I also ask them to try their best to memorize the new

17、 words or guess the meanings when they read. They can make signs when they meet the new words. The more they do like that, the more they master and learn. Gradually, they will find they are enlarging their vocabularies when they are reading. And they will not feel that they have many new words when

18、they write compositions.They can cultivate their own hobbies and imagination abilities. When they write, they can try their best to put what they learn from the hobbies and what they imagine into practice. By doing so, their composition will be better and more interesting .In a word, Enlish writing

19、is not easy for all of us. It needs us to practice and find more better writing ways.5.1 Train the ability of listening to improve writingChoose a suitable listening material for the students. Playing the recorder in class, ask them to listen to it repeatedly after class. Have a dictation in class a

20、nd check the work to give a mark. Teachers should keep doing this once a week to improve the ability of writing. In order to improve the ability of listening and help the students get more information to lay solid foundation in English, we choose new concept English as listening materials, this cour

21、se attempts to practice all the theories into practice about language. It trains the students skills in understanding, speaking, reading and writing. It is used to train the students systematically to write English.5.2 Centering around the text to improve writingNow, the text is an excellent materia

22、l for the student to improve their integrated skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Train the students7 ability through the following ways.5.2.1 Have a dictationThe words are to the article what the bricks are to the building. If you don not know to write eight words in a ten- word sen

23、tence, you will not express your ideas. So vocabulary is very important for the students7 writing. The vocabulary in the teaching material is selected scientifically. They are very important and basic vocabularies for the students.At present, the middle school teaching material is more difficult tha

24、n before. It has larger vocabulary. In the reading of each unit, there are a few main words. I will write them on the blackboard. I will read them and let the students repeat and pay attention to the pronunciation. I use the words to make the sentences to show the students how to use them.In each re

25、ading, there are many useful expressions and idioms. It is useful for the students to underline and remember them. In Unit4 Finding your way, there are many useful expressions and idiomas. Such as go straight on, lie down, all day long, jump around, make people laugh, help them eat the leaves from t

26、rees, Cross the bridge,and you will see the elephants and so on. It is meaningful for the students in their own writing.5.2.2 Read, recitef and retell the textIn general z for a student, the amount of reading and listening should be over ten times that of speaking and writing. If the students can ma

27、nage itz they will express their ideas freely by speaking and writing.After finishing a lesson, I play the recorder in class and students listen and repeat. After that, I divide the class into groups or in pairs to read the text. A competition will be held between groups and pairs. As a result zeach

28、 student read actively for a community spirit.In teaching, I always require students to recite the text. After assigning, I will have a check in the next class. It is one of my requirements that each student has to pass the recitation. So many students come to recite on their own. Some better studen

29、ts can recite to each other and tell me the result quickly. In the end, I have a dictation of a paragraph to check their command of the text. If there is a shortcut to the study of English, it must be recitation. Recitation and imitation are the “foolish ways, but they are the best way. It is self-e

30、vident for the students to command the vocabulary, the rules of grammar and sentence patterns.After finishing the text, it is very important for the students to retell the text with their own words. Write a number or brief notes on the blackboard summarizing the subject-matter of the text.5.2.3 Summ

31、ary writingMy aim is to train the students to make statements which are based directly on the passage the students have read.The student is required to derive specific information from each passage (comprehension) which he well put together to form a paragraph (summary). The amount of help he is giv

32、en to do this gradually diminishes.In these exercises, the students will learn to write a summary. It is a progressive process to improve the ability of the students7 writing.5.3 Reading widely to improve writingIf you want to write a good essay, you have to read a great many excellent ones. So it i

33、s very necessary for the students to read widely.5.3.1 Remember wonderful expressionsI often advise students which reading material is suitable for them. Require the students to make extracts of useful expressions and wonderful sentences to learn by heart. Make conscious efforts to use them into the

34、ir own writing and check it read widely.5.3.2 Find the differences between Chinese and EnglishTrain the students speed of reading and find the differences between Chinese and English. Let students read an article in three or five minutes, then let them answer some questions to check their comprehens

35、ion. Help the students to find useful language points. It is very useful for the students to accumulate the vocabulary. This can help the students realize the differences between English sentences and Chinese sentences. Connecting words and substitutive words is used frequently in English.Key Words:

36、 writing, ability, four skills, practice摘要从学习和生活中来看，现代的人们有更多的机会来使用英语，同时写作又是语言输出的重要途径 之一。近年来，英语写作的分值每年都在增长，英语写作也占着重要的地位。所以，我们说英语写作对 于我们是非常重要的。但是，在写作在中学教学中却是一个薄弱的环节。在英语学习中写作存在着一 些困难和问题。我在很多方面采取了一些措施来改进他们的写作能力。首先我会告诉他们英语写作的 重要性，然后再丰富他们的词汇，锻炼他们的基本技能，并要多多练习。关键字：写作，能力，四项技能，锻炼Table of ContentsAcknowledgeme

To us English

38、Learners, if we want to master a language including mastering all its skills, we must think something in it and express some in it. Karl Marx ever said, “when you are learning a foreign language, you must learn to forget your native language/ That is to say. When we are learning foreign language, we

39、 must put ourselves into an atmosphere of foreign language.If we want to improve the students ability, we have to require them to practice writing step by step. In order to realize the aim/1 take the following steps.5.4.1 Keep a diary in EnglishKeeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways

40、 to improve our English writing ability. It can help us to cultivate the habit of thinking in English.Require the students to write a diary in every week. Guide them to write something about school, family, friends, life and so on. If they find that they do not have anything to write, they can copy

41、a good article. Collect the diaries to check carefully and give a remark on them. At the same time, we should encourage them to keep diaries every day and praise the students who write a good diary.5.4.2 Provide good examplesImitate to use the simple and explicit English sentences, grammar structure

42、s, and useful expressions flexibly. It is a effective way to improve the spoken English and written English. If you read the sentence, “Reading is to the mind what food is to the body? This sentence pattern is to compare the similarity of the two things. A is to B what C is to D. There are many simi

43、lar sentences: The brain is to the people what fish is to water. Knowledge is to the human mind what water is to the body. The lamp is to light what the recorder is to sound.Assign a topic, and ask the students to write on it. At the same time the teacher had better write on it. After the students c

44、omplete the writing, the teacher can choose a good writing of the students to read to the class, or read the teacher s own writing to the class. I sometimes read the sample to the class. After having reading, I will point out the merits and guide them find their weak points. This not only can help t

45、he students to make their writing better in time, but also help the poor students to know how to write this kind of article.5.4.3 Write in limited timeIn any exam, the students have to finish a composition in limited time, so it is meaningful to train the students to finish writing in limited time.

46、In each unit, there is a Main task requiring the students to write a composition about the unit. Guide the students to finish the composition in a class in limited time.IV. ConclusionWriting is the development of comprehensive ability. Students must comprehensively use the knowledge they have learne

47、d. So writing is the process of integrated study. Our teaching should be permeated with it in the whole teaching process. As an English teacher, we should cultivate students writing habit and train their ability in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Let the students keep reading more, remembe

48、r more, writing more. Writing must be proceeded step by step and in an orderly way. Only if we do that persistently in the long run, we can improve the writing ability of the students indeed.The improving of English writing can, t reach the goal in one step. You must insist on a policy from simple t

49、o difficult, less to more and inside-class to outside-class teaching so English writing is a comprehensive training. It can help students to improve their English language ability.Exercises make perfect! A good composition, coupled with many times of writing exercises.
