一、怎樣寫好文章的開頭
開頭是作文在閱卷老師面前的第一次亮相，它將決定你所寫的文章在閱卷老師心中所留下的第一印象。如果第一印象好，就意味著有了良好的開端，也就成功了一半。Good beginning is half done，我們該怎樣一提起筆就讓自己成功一半呢?
(一)“開門見山”式開頭
一般來說，文章的開頭應(yīng)盡量做到“開門見山”，即要用簡單明了的語言引出文章的話題，使人一開始就能了解文章要說明的內(nèi)容。
1. 對于敘事類的文章，可以在開頭把人物、時間、事件和環(huán)境交代清楚。如“A Trip to Huangshan(黃山之旅)”的開頭可以是：Last month, my family went to Huangshan by train. It took us ten hours to get there. What a long and tiring journey! We were tired but the beautiful scenery excited us.
2. 對于論述性的文章，可以在開頭處先闡明自己的觀點，接著展開進一步的論述。如“The Time and the Money(時間和金錢)” 的開頭可以是：Most people say that money is more important than time. But I don’t think so. First, when money is used up, you can earn it back， but……
(二)回憶性開頭
(三)疑問性開頭
在敘事類或論述性的文章中，都可采用疑問型開頭，這樣既可以吸引閱卷者的注意又容易抓住中心。如“Planting Trees(種樹)”的開頭可以是：Have you ever planted trees? Don’t you think planting trees is ……
(四)倒敘式開頭
在有的文章，特別是敘事類的文章中，可以采用倒敘的寫作手法，先寫出事件的結(jié)果，再陳述過程。如“Catching Thieves (捉賊)”的開頭可以這樣寫：I lay in bed in the hospital. I smiled at my friends even though my legs hurt. Do you want to know what happened to me? Let me tell you. It’s a … story.
二、怎樣寫好文章的結(jié)尾
文章的結(jié)尾沒有固定的模式，同學們可以根據(jù)表達主題的需要靈活創(chuàng)造。一般情況下，記敘文和說明文經(jīng)常采用自然結(jié)尾的方法；但夾敘夾議和發(fā)表觀點類的文章則往往有結(jié)束語，以使文章首尾呼應(yīng)，結(jié)構(gòu)完整。文章結(jié)尾的形式也因文章類別和開頭的風格而靈活多變。
(一)自然結(jié)尾，點明主題
再如“The Tortoise and the Hare(龜兔賽跑)” 的結(jié)尾可以是：When the hare got to the tree, the tortoise had already been there。
(二)首尾呼應(yīng)，升華主題
在文章的結(jié)尾可以用含義較深的話點明主題，深化主題，起到“畫龍點睛”的效果。如“I Love My Hometown(我愛家鄉(xiāng))”的結(jié)尾可以是：I love my hometown, and I am proud of it.
(三)反問結(jié)尾，引起深思
這種方式的結(jié)尾雖然形式是問句，但意義卻是肯定的，而且具有一定的強調(diào)作用，可引起他人的深思。如 “Learning English can Give us a Lot of Pleasure (學英語能為我們帶來許多樂趣)” 的結(jié)尾可以是：If we learn English well, we can …Don’t you think learning English is great fun?
(四)表達祝愿，闡述愿望
這種方式的結(jié)尾常出現(xiàn)在書信或演講稿的文體中，表示對他人的祝�；�?qū)淼恼雇�。如“A Letter to the Farmers(給農(nóng)民們的一封信)”的結(jié)尾可以是：I hope the farmers’ life will be better and better.
另外，書信的結(jié)尾常有以下形式的祝福語：Best wishes；I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year；I wish you have a good time等。
金題精練
佳作展示
Hello，everyone. Today my topic is about Project Hope. What a sad and serious topic it is!
First I want to ask you some questions. When you sit in the big and beautiful classroom, have you ever thought of the poor children who dropped out of school? When you throw away your useless books, why not give them to the poor children in the countryside?
Maybe your answer is “Sorry, I’ve never thought of that.” To tell you the truth, I didn’t know anything about the poor children until my teacher told me last week. I was shocked when I heard of that. I realized that we should try to help them. So I went to the post office and gave away all my pocket money to Project Hope.
So my dear friends and classmates, let’s do something to help them. Then the world will be nicer and nicer.
That’s all for today. Thank you!
