  英语句子翻译和书面表达的方法

  1.主要任务:进行大量有效、地道的输入,为未来的综合运用储备足够的基础知识。

  2.主要途径:

  1)在“读”字上面狠下功夫。一是朗读,二是阅读。

  每天坚持20-30分钟的朗读,朗读的内容可以是佳句、范文或美文,其主要目的是进行地道的输入和模仿,从中模仿地道的表达和培养应有的语感。

  每天坚持读一些来自英语报刊和课外读物的文章,其主要目的同样是为了增加输入量,与此同时还可以扩大词汇量和提高阅读的速度。

  2)在记和写方面狠下功夫。一是摘记课本中的好词好句,二是摘录课外读物中的好词好句。

  经常做一些翻译练习(包括中英的互译),适当进行仿写,写课文摘要以及改写。必须明白:好的文章都是从有效模仿开始的。

  3)高度重视平时出现的典型错误,力求做到有错必改,有错必纠。

  特别要注意中英在表达上的差异,重点关注时态、语态、主谓一致、名词的数、谓语与非谓语以及语序的问题。

  4)坚持每天练习书写十分钟,培养良好的书写习惯,保持卷面整洁。

  力求书写规范,纠错符号规范,标点符号规范以及大小写规范。
