英语说明文格式
篇一:英语作文的格式
英语作文的格式
作文与阅读一样极为重要。在两篇作文中,小作文,就是应用文满分为10分,得高分比大作文容易一些,因为它更加套路化,对语言的要求也不如大作文那么高。可是考生的实际得分却不是很理想,2005年的平均分不到6分。出现这种问题的主要原因在于写作的格式、语言和要点等方面注意不够。我准备用三天的文章来阐述这几个问题。今天介绍的是小作文的格式问题。下面以2005年的小作文考题为例说明这一问题。
Directions:
Two months ago you got a job as an editor for the magazine Designs & Fashions. But now you find that the work is not what you expected. You decide to quit. Write a letter to your boss, Mr. Wang, telling him your decision, stating your reason(s), and making an apology.
Write your letter with no less than 100 words. Write it neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter; use “Li Ming” instead. You do not need to write the address. (10 points) 范文(选自胡敏编著的《2007年考研英语高分作文》):
Dear Mr. Wang,
I am writing to inform you about my decision to resign from my current position. There are a few factors involved that I find intolerable.
First of all, the salary has proven to be much lower than you originally promised, and I have a large family to support. In addition, the office is located in the downtown area, yet I live in the suburbs, so it is exhausting for me to spend over three hours commuting every day. Most importantly, I feel rather disappointed and left out on the job itself, as in the past two months I was never given any really important responsibility.
I sincerely hope that you approve of my resignation. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
由上面2005年小作文考题以及范文可以了解小作文格式主(来自:www.Zw2.cn 爱 作文 网)要涉及称呼、正文与落款。
一、称呼
1.Dear Sir or Madam
这是对于不认识的团体或组织的负责人的称呼。
2.Dear Mr. xx/Ms.xx
这是对于认识但是关系很正式的团体或组织的负责人的称呼,也可用来称呼认识但是关系较正式的个人。上面的小作文中的称呼就属于这一情况。
3.Dear John/Mary(or any other name)
这是对关系较亲密的人的称呼:直呼其名。
二、正文
正文格式传统上采用缩进式,即每段开头空四个字母,段落之间不空行。现在流行的格式,尤其是打印文件的格式,一般采用齐头式,即每段开头不空格,但是各段之间空一行。上面的范文就属于齐头式。考试时可以根据自己的习惯选择一种,但要给人留下格式清晰的印象,为自己争取同情分。
三、落款
由于考试时不要求使用真实姓名,落款时可以使用下列万能格式:
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
上面的范文就使用了这一格式。
综上所述,注意格式是小作文得高分的第一步。
篇二:英语作文书写格式
一、英语作文题目的书写
@题目是首先映入读者眼帘的,所以要注意题目的书写位置。一定要在试卷作文纸上的上方中间位置书写。同时还应在话题和正文之间留出一定的距离,即比正文行距稍宽一些。
@@其次,要注意题目的大小写,第一个单词的第一个字母和最后一个单词的第一个字母一定要大写。中间的单词除冠词、连词(但如连词的字母多于5个,则大写)和介词外,其他的词都应该大写第一个字母。比如:
例1误:Attitudes toward Money
正:Attitudes Toward Money
@@@写题目不要用括号或引号。题目后除了问号和感叹号之外,不加其它标点符号。
二、文章本体
文章第一段的第一行应与题目隔一行或两行。每段的开头一般应该缩格;即向右缩进约四个字母的间隔;单词与单词之间须留一个字母的间隔,句与句之间须留两个字母的间隔。假若每行的最后一个单词写不下,最好不要轻易拆字移行,可将该单词移到后一行去书写。
三、 标点符号
英语的标点符号与汉语的标点符号在形式上与使用上大同小异。学生容易疏忽的地方,大致有以下几处:
1.英语句号是实心点,而不是小圆圈,如果英语的句号也和汉语一样,则容易和字母“o”相混淆。
2.英语的省略号一般使用“…”是3点,不是像汉语那样用6点“……”
3. 字符号不要写得太长,写长了容易跟破折号混淆。其长度应该与一个字母的宽度相当。破折号的长度约占两个字母的位置。书写破折号时,与前后的单词应有一定的距离。
4.英语中没有顿号“、”。要表示句中较短的并列词语之间的停顿,汉语习惯用顿号,而英语只能用逗号;汉语中连词“和”、“及”等之前不可用顿号,而英语中连接一系列并列项目的“and”或“or”之前往往可以用逗号。
5.使用所有格符号时,要注意放在正确的位置上,以免引起意义上的混淆。如my father's book不能写成my fathers’book。
6. 汉语中直接引语前的“某某说”等词语之后一律用冒号。而英语中既可用逗号,也可用冒号。当“某某说”等词语在直接引语后时,汉语的引语末尾用句号,而英语一般用逗号。如句子 "It's none of your business," the young men said rudely.的汉语译文是:“这不管你的事。”年轻人粗暴地说。
7.英语中没有书名号《》,书名一般用引号。如:Yesterday she saw an English film "Gone with the Wind"
四、英语字母何时要大写
1. 英语句子开头的第一个单词的首字母要大写。实例:How are you? 你好吗?
2. 姓名中的姓和名的首字母都要大写。
实例:Ann Read安·里德, Zhou Hua周华
3. 表示称呼语或职务的词首字母要大写。
实例:Mr Green格林先生, Dr Li李博士
4. 地名、语言名、某国人等词的首字母应大写。
实例:England英国, Beijing北京, English英语, Chinese汉语、中国人
5. 表示编号的词要大写。
实例: Lesson Two第二课 Row 3第三排
6. 星期、月份、节日名称也应大写。
实例:Sunday星期日, September九月, Teachers' Day教师节
7. 大多数的缩略词要大写。
实例:CCTV(中国中央电视台), ID(身份证), CD(光盘)
8. "I"和"OK"在句中的任何位置都应大写。
实例:Tom and I are students. 汤姆和我是学生。
That's OK.不用谢。
9. 文章的标题、书名、报刊名称等,第一个单词和每一个实词的首字母都要大写。

Dear editor,
I have recently made a survey among 30 boys and 30 girls in my class about their purpose of getting on the Internet. ______________________________________________
作文二
下列表格为某市1996年与2006年人们度假方式的情况比较,请按表格内容写一篇150词左右的短文,并对度假方式变化原因加以简要评析。
[思路点拨]
题材:书信; 说明+议论
时态:一般现在时
人称:第三人称
要点提示:(1)上网的目的;(2)读新闻; (3)发送邮件;(4)聊天;(5)学习;(6)玩游戏;(7)评语
篇章结构:文章可分两段
[文采修饰]
连接词的选用:but, both…, and, moreover, otherwise
高级词汇的选用:keep in touch with, as for…, use… as …, benefit from, pay attention to, altogether, in one’s opinion.
复杂句型的选用:what…most 引导的主语从句;as 引导的让步状语从句;倒装语序等。
范文:
The girls’ favorite is chatting, but few boys like it. What the boys like to do most is playing games and the girls also like it. Both boys and girls like to read news or send e-mails on the Internet. Maybe they think it’s the most convenient way to get information from keeping in touch with friends. As for studying, the numbers of boys and girls are equal, but altogether only several of them will use the Internet as a tool to study.
In my opinion, useful as the Internet is, the students had better make better and wise use of it. Otherwise, it’s impossible for us to benefit from it. Moreover, I also hope the parents will pay enough attention to their children using the Internet in their spare time.
思路点拨:
1、体裁:比较对照类
2、时态:一般过去时(发表评论时可用一般现在时)
3、人称:第三人称
4、篇章结构:分三段
范文: The table shows that a greater number of people spent their holidays traveling abroad in 2006. The rate of 2006 (22%) doubled that of 1996 (11%). We are sure that the number will increase because with their incomes rising, more people can afford the journeys abroad.
At the same time, the seaside attracted a lot of people. However, the rate slightly dropped from 38% in 1996 to 31% in 2006, the reason for which lies in the fact that sea water is being polluted. The polluted seaside is likely to drive more visitors away.
The year 2006 saw a sharp increase in the number of people who went climbing and camping. The rate in 2006 (34%) was more than three times that in 1996 (11%). The reason is that more and more people are eager to get close to nature.
高考英语书面表达技巧·口头通知
(要点、格式与范例)
一、掌握口头通知特点
口头通知即以口头的形式表达通知的内容,其特点是:用词较口语化,句子不会太复杂,通常只需用一段话讲清其内容即可。另外,口头通知的开头和结尾通常都有一定的固定套语,同学们也应特别注意。
二、妥用口头通知呼语
口头通知的开头称呼语通常需根据听众的具体情况来确定,有时还要考虑其场合是否正式。如在比较正式且男女听众兼有的场合,通常用Ladies and gentlemen 来称呼听众,同时注意该表达的词序,不要想当然地将其倒过来,且一定要用复数。当然,若听众中只有男士,则只用Gentlemen;或者只有女士,则只用Ladies。但是,如果在非正式场合,则比较随便。对学生用的称呼语通常是Boys and girls。
三、熟记口头通知套语
(1) 在用口头下达通知时,发通知者通常要将听通知人的注意力吸引过来,这类表达常见的有:
May I have your attention, please?
Attention please, everyone. I have an announcement to make.
Be quite. There is something important I have to tell you.
I have something (important) to tell you.
I’m glad to tell you something important.
(2) 其他用于口头通知的固定套语(如叫听者不要迟到、欢迎某人参加某活动等): Everyone is asked to be there on time.
Be sure not to be late.
Please be present on time.
Please take your notebooks with you and be sure on time.
Those who are interested in it are warmly welcome.
(3) 口头通知的结束套语主要有:
That’s all. Thank you very much.
四、牢记口头通知时态
口头通知是要告诉大家即将进行的活动,因此要以一般将来时为主。如: We will go to the Great Wall tomorrow.
We’ll have a meeting about it after the sixth class.
There will be an English film in our school tonight.
The match will be put off to next week.
We are going to hold a meeting to discuss the problem.
五、口头通知实战演练
假如你是班长,根据下面的内容和提示,写一篇100左右的口头通知,以便向同学们宣布。 事由:欢迎澳大利亚学生来校参观。
参观时间:6月15日上午9:00-12:00.
参观人数:约60人。
活动安排:1. 8:30在校门口。
2. 9:00带客人到会议室开联欢会。
3. 领客人参观植物园、校办工厂。
4. 11:00在操场进行篮球比赛。
5. 客人12:00离校。
注意事项:1. 对客人要友好。
2. 要用英语交谈。
写作示范:
Boys and girls,
May I have your attention, please? About sixty Australian students will come to visit our school on June 15. We’ll meet them at the school gate at 8:30. We’ll take them to the meeting-room, where a get-together will be held. After that, we’ll show them around our botanical garden and the school-run factory. At11:00 there will be a basketball match on the playground. They’ll leave our school at 12:00.
Please be friendly to them. We must talk with them in English.
That’s all. Thank you. 高考英语书面表达技巧·书面通知
(要点、格式与范例)
一、掌握书面通知特点
书面头通知即以书面的形式表达通知的内容,其特点是:措辞较严谨,句子结构相对口头通知会更复杂,尤其会使用一些非谓语动词短语(如用不定式表目的等)和从句(如if 从句、when从句、so that从句等)。
二、熟记书面通知格式
与口头通知不同,书面通知在用书面形式表达出来时,它有自己比较固定的格式:如通知开头要有标题(通常为Notice或Announcement),标题下面是正文,正文后通常还应有发通知的单位(通常写在右下角)和写发通知的日期(通常写在左下角)等。
三、注意与口头通的区别
口头通知一般有开头称呼语(Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and girls等),而书面通知通常不用这些开头称呼语;口头通知用来吸引听众注意力的句子(如May I have your attention, please? / Attention please, everyone. I have an announcement to make. / Be quite. There is something important I have to tell you.等)在书面通知中通常不可以用;口头通知的结束套语(That’s all. Thank you very much.)在书面通知中也不会使用。
四、熟记书面通知套语
尽管书面通知与口头通知有很多表达套语不一样,但有些表达(如叫听者不要迟到、欢迎某人参加某活动等方面的套语)是可以通用的,不过有时可能在措辞方面会有所不同(书面通知措辞可能会略正式些)。如:
口头通知:Everyone should be there on time.
Be sure not to be late.
Please be present on time.
书面通知:Everyone is required to be present on time.
口头通知:Be sure to attend it on time.
书面通知:Everybody is expected to attend it on time.
另外,书面通知的以下套语也需注意:
All teachers and students are required to…(全体师生务必要……)
Notice is hereby given that…(兹通知……)
Our school / The Student Union will / is going to hold…
A lecture will be given at 7:00 this evening in…
四、牢记书面语通知时态
与口头通知一样,书面通知也以一般将来时为主。如:
The students of Senior Grade One will go to Jingshan Park on May 4.
We will climb up the hill and have a picnic on the top of it.
After that we will visit the famous botanical garden nearby.
On July 22, Saturday, we will visit the following places — a school or a hospital.
We will be divided into four groups and each group can visit one of the places.
五、书面通知实战演练
请根据提示写一份通知。
(1) 高二(5)在本周五晚上要开个英语晚会。
(2) 晚饭后6:30在教室集合,晚会7:00开始。
(3) 每个同学都要表演一个节目,内容不限。
(4) 欢迎老师和全班同学参加。
(5) 出通知的时间是2005年3月15日。
NOTICE

Each of the students should perform during the evening party. You may tell a story, sing a song, make a speech or read a poem and so on. All the teachers and students are welcome to attend our English evening. Everybody is expected to attend it on time.
Class 5, Grade Two March 15, 2005高考英语书面表达写作技巧·日记(技巧与范例)
一、写作技巧
日记常用来记述自己一天生活中所发生的有意义的事情或用来抒发自己对当天某些事情的感受以及自己将来的打算等。英文日记也是这样。不过,要写好英文日记,需要注意以下几点:
(1) 格式要正确。英文日记与中文日记写法大致相同,都是在正文之前,先依次有日期、星期几及当天的天气情况。
(2) 表达要清楚、准确、连贯。判断的标准就是通过阅读你的日记,看你能否用简洁明了的英语把所给的汉语提示准确无误地表达出来,以及自己的感想等。
(3) 文体要口语化。因为日记是写给自己看的,其内容多是记述自己亲身经历和亲眼看到的事或抒发自己的感情等,所以用第一人称写,文体也不必过分讲究,只需把该写的东西写清楚即可。
二、实例与范文
根据下面内容提示,写一篇日记
4月15日,星期天,你和几位同学步行了半小时去参观动物园。天气很好,游客很多。你们喜欢猴子。碰到几位外国朋友,聊了一会儿。中午回家。
要求:
(1) 文章必须包括所给的要点;
