英语的书面表达题是高考的重要组成部分，是对英语学习综合运用能力进行考查的题目，在高考中占有相当大的比重，而许多学生，在此方面失分很多，以致影响了最后总分。高考英语书面表达要求内容充实，句式丰富，用词准确，行文连贯，思路清晰，过渡自然。要想达到这一目的，语言的正确运用和表达是至关重要的。为此，我们可以从以下三个方面进行训练：

一、加强词汇学习，夯实英语基础
英语词汇是英语最基本的单位，离开了单词，学英语就成了无本之木，无源之水。词汇是写作的基础，记忆和背诵是我们扩大词汇量最传统、最简单的方法。首先我们要背诵高考词汇表；其次，要在老师的帮助下将单词、词组归纳整理，进行比较，强化记忆。

二、从基本词汇的运用着手，强化基本句型的训练
在掌握了基本词汇的基础上，反复训练，熟悉并掌握五个基本句型。
1.主语+系动词+表语 ：The farm looks like a large beautiful garden.
2.主语+谓语（不及物）（+状语）：After visiting some places, we were singing and dancing in an open area.  / Now great changes have taken place in our school.
3.主语+谓语（及物）+宾语（+其它）：I want to borrow some books from the library. /I found (that) the driver was a woman.
4.主语+谓语（及物）+双宾语（+其它）：My English teacher offered me some books on English study. / Yesterday I met the expert who once gave us a talk on the computer.
5.主语+谓语（及物）+宾语+宾补 ：The teacher let me have a try. / He asked me to support him up. /We made Li Ming our monitor. /Who had the windows broken?

三、掌握几种表达优美的高级句式，优化句子结构
1.改变句子的开头方式, 使句子开头多样化
句子不是一味地都是主语开头,接着是谓语、宾语,最后再加一个状语。可以把状语置于句首,或用分词作状语等。
【高考实例】Of all my teachers, Mr. Moore is the one who impresses me most. (NMET2006湖南卷)
【高考实例】It is reported that about 100,000 people will be chosen as volunteers for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. (NMET2006江苏卷)
【高考实例】As we all know, we are what we eat.  Therefore, it's very important for us to form healthy eating habits.
2. 在整篇文章中,避免只使用一两个句式
要灵活运用诸如强调句、主从复合句、分词短语、倒装句、省略句等。
1)强调句
The dog has saved my little sister bravely. →It is the dog that has saved my little sister bravely.
2)主从复合句
【高考实例】When you get inside , you will see many shelves full of books on different subjects.(2006全国卷书面表达)，此处用一个状语从句显然要比两个并列句效果要好。
【高考实例】Jiuzhaigou is well known for its beautiful lakes, of which the water is clear and looks colorful.（2006NMET四川卷）
3)分词短语、不定式短语、由with或without引导的短语
【实例在线】The next morning on his way home Li Ming saw some birds flying in the sky. (2006NMET北京卷)
【高考实例】Compared with letters and public phones, mobile phones and the Internet are faster and much more convenient. (NMET2006广东卷)
【高考实例】To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets.(NMET2006福建卷)
【高考实例】With his help, we’ve learned how to analyze and settle problems. (NMET2006湖南卷)
4)倒装句
【高考实例】Only in this way can we have enough energy to study better.（NMET2006福建卷）
5)省略句
While you are crossing the street, you should be careful. →While crossing the street, you should be careful.
3. 通过分句和合句,增强句子的连贯性和表现力
【高考实例】Now you are telling Jim how you understand this piece of art and what makes you think so.（NMET2006北京卷）
【高考实例】Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food; and still some eat or drink too much. （NMET2006福建卷）
4. 注意连接词与句子的运用。
以2006年全国卷高考作文为例,在信的开头, Thank you for your last letter asking about our library.这句话起承上启下的作用,使文章过渡自然。
5. 使用过渡词语
写好了每个句子,并不一定就是一篇好文章,因为作为一篇文章,还必须行文连贯。那么,如何使文章行文连贯呢?这就要求我们在组成篇章时,要用好过渡性词语,过渡性词语就像是我们组装机械时使用的润滑剂一样,起着润滑的作用。常用的过渡词语主要有:
并列递进:and, also, as well as, besides, what's more, furthermore, moreover, etc.
转折:but, yet, however, although, nevertheless, in spite of, after all, etc.
因果:because, as, for, since, for this reason, because of, so, therefore, thus, as a result, etc.
对比:or, otherwise, like, unlike, on the contrary, while, on the other hand, instead of, etc.
总结:in all, in brief, on the whole, in short, in general, in one word, etc.
6) 多用词组表达单个词义
The dog was killed in the accident. → The dog lost his life in the accident.
7) 避免用相同词汇
My father likes reading and my mother likes cooking, but I like playing games. → My father likes reading and my mother enjoys cooking, but I am fond of playing games.
