作文是对知识的综合应用,笔者结合这几年的教学经验,谈谈职高英语作文在教学中的一些浅见。
一、认清英语教学的现状,了解学生的实际水平
职高生基础差,对学习缺少信心,英语作文无从下笔,大-片空白,只能写出单个词,难以成句。高职考的`作文比分重,难度大,因此学生必须提高英语写作水平。
二、仔细研究高职考作文的评分标准,对症下药
第一,关键词关键句齐全,观点不能缺;
其次,简单句必须没有错误;
最后,复杂句用得恰当;
三、总结经验,研究方法
1.分层教学,重视基础
笔者总结了作文教学三点论,并要求学生做到三点,紧抓三点,最终能灵活使用。
(1)抓关键词。抓关键词是指以词为中心,产生联想,成为一篇文章。
高职考的作文评分标准,有一条是以关键词给分,所以应要求学生在写作时关键词必须用上,如这样一篇作文:
根据所给情景,参考所给的提示及关键词,写一篇60～80个词的短文。
假如你是李平,你的朋友John向你询问如何保持健康,请你给他提些建议。关键词:give,some advice,beans,especially,freshvegetables ,You’d better, take physical exercise, stay up
根据关键词造句:我可以给你提一些建议,要合理饮食,多吃写豆类食物,尤其是新鲜蔬菜和水果。你最好注意锻炼身体,不要熬夜。
简尔言之,就是首先依据提供的词语,在头脑中有一个大致的轮廓,能知其意,再以词为中心,遣词造句。
(2)写句子。所谓写句子,是指在作文入门期间,要求学生严格做到“主谓宾(表)齐全”。
首先,基本句型结构教学。几乎所有的英语句型都是句型的扩大、延伸或变化,因此训练学生“写”就要抓住基本句型的训练,重点把握两种结构:“主 及物动词 宾语”、“主 不及物动词”。。
其次,结合语文教学,总结用法和规律,做到事半功倍、一箭双雕。因为从语言学角度来说,语言有许多共通之处,有一些共律 ,如“形修名、副修动”等, “句子必须要有谓语,动词做谓语”等。
以上文为例,则可写句子:
I give you some advice.
You need to eat beans especially fresh vegetables and fruits.
You’d better take physical exercise.
You should not stay up
对于基础好的同学,如果作文要出彩,在平时的教学中,笔者要求学生多总结有用的词块。
(3)把握时态。把握时态是指在作文时,要具体分析不同的场景,用对时态,写对句子:日记、故事描写和事件描述用过去时;阐述自己的观点,用现在时;如果是参观日程安排,用将来时态;解释图表,要看情况来选择时态。
综合所述,我们以2007年高职考作文为例试看:
假设你是Li Lei,即将告别三年的高中生活,在这三年中你和老师同学朝夕相处,一起学习,共同成长度过了美好的时光,请以“Thank you my dear teachers and classmates”为题用英语写一篇短文,发表在班级的博客上。

2.写作素材
教师为学生精选范文,研究范文,然后让他们朗读范文,背诵好句从而达到积极记忆,做到胸中有数。
3.重视作文批改
教师在改作文时要采取当面批改,面对面地指出学生的错误和知识的盲点,有助于他们加深对犯过错误的印象。
