1、短文写作步骤(Steps in Writing Essays)成功的写作应该遵循一定的写作步骤，那种拿起笔就写的写作习惯看似节省时间，其实违反了逻辑思维规律，很难写成令人满意的作文来。一、写作步骤(Steps in Writing)短文写作一般包含五个写作步骤：确定文章主题、构思、列提纲、写初稿和检查修改。1. 确定文章主题文章主题即是回答“写什么”的问题，是作者写作目的和思想的体现。我们在写作前心里必须有一个明确而具体的中心思想，才能围绕着主题开展构思和列提纲等写作活动。主题一般出现在引言段，要求表达清楚、明白具体，便于进行扩展写作。2.构思构思即是收集和选择写作素材的思维过程。我们可以选择

2、与主题相关的，能够为主题服务的内容，它包括亲身经历，听到的和看到的有关信息等。具体可以使用联想的方法，先根据文章主题想出与其相关的所有素材，并记录下来。然后通过比较，选择有用的内容，去掉不能为主题服务的材料。将筛选出来的文章素材按照主次、强弱等逻辑关系进行分类安排，从而在写作过程中予以选择使用。3. 列提纲列提纲即是对所选材料的具体化、条理化的过程，也是对文章内容和组织形式进一步理清思路的过程。清楚明晰的提纲可以引导我们写出内容充实、条理清楚的英语短文来。4.写初稿有了前三步的基础，就可以开始写初稿了。按照写好的提纲，按部就班的展开思路，选择合适的段落扩展方法来扩展段落，同时注意文章的逻辑结构

3、和转承词语的使用，注意各个段落之间的连贯性和文章的整体性。5. 检查修改检查和修改是写作的最后一个步骤。首先从文章整体出发，对照提纲检查文章的布局、内容的安排是否合理；其次注意各个段落中的内容组织是否合适，段与段之间的衔接和逻辑关系是否正确；最后检查句法、语法和用词是否准确，如有问题，予以修改。时间允许的话，也可以隔几天或一段时间后再拿出来修改，也许会有新的领悟和理解。二、提纲的编写(Ways of Making an Outline)确定了写作主题，对文章内容进行了筛选和构思后，就可以来拟定写作提纲了。提纲是用来表达一篇文章中各个部分内容之间关系的结构框架。一个好的提纲可以帮助你理清思路、分

4、清主次、明确步骤，从而引导你写出主题明确、内容充实、条理清楚的文章。英文提纲一般按照罗马数字、阿拉伯数字和英文字母排列。提纲的第一层次用大写的罗马数字表示，第二层次用大写的英语字母，第三层次用阿拉伯数字，第四层次用小写的英语字母表示。同一层次的字母或数字要上下对齐，与上一层次缩进式排列。例：.简介. 主要观点A. 从属观点B. 从属观点1.阐明解释观点的细节2.阐明解释观点的细节a. 例1b. 例2.主要观点A.从属观点1.阐明解释观点的细节a.例1b. 例2c. 例32.阐明解释观点的细节B. 从属观点1. 阐明解释观点的细节2.阐明解释观点的细节a. 例1b. 例23.阐明解释观点的细节I
