英语四级作文写作的几个原则

英语四级考试中，英语作文是必考的环节，而且是许多同学准备的重点，小编在这请到环球托业英语四六级课程部的老师来给大家讲讲英语四级考试中英语作文写法的一些原则。

很多同学认为英语作文不好写，其实不然，只要掌握英语作文的一些原则技巧，就能写出高分作文来！

一、长短句原则。

工作还得一张一弛呢，老让读者读长句，累死人！写一个短小精辟的句子，相反，却可以起到画龙点睛的作用。而且如果我们把短句放在段首或者段末，也可以揭示主题：As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.如此可见，长短句结合，抑扬顿挫，岂不爽哉？牢记！

强烈建议：在文章第一段(开头)用一长一短，且先长后短；在文章主体部分，要先用一个短句解释主要意思，然后在阐述几个要点的时候采用先短后长的句群形式，定会让主体部分妙笔生辉！文章结尾一般用一长一短就可以了。

二、主题句原则。

国有其君，家有其主，文章也要有其主。否则会给人造成“群龙无首”之感！相信各位读过一些破烂文学，故意把主体隐藏在文章之内，结果造成我们稀里糊涂！不知所云！所以奉劝各位一定要写一个主题句，放在文章的开头(保险型)或者结尾，让读者一目了然，必会平安无事！

特别提示：隐藏主体句可是要冒险的！To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主题句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly。

英语四级考试中，高分作文其实是很容易的，要掌握一些基本的原则和技巧，再加上多多练习，小编相信您可以在英语四级考试中写出高分作文的！（）

图表作文

1. 图表描述

之有理。

3. 文章最后得出的结论要合乎情理。这一结论可以是归纳，也可以是对未来的

一种预测。

2. 图表分析概括 3. 得出结论

对图表描述：

The period 1984-1998 saw a great increase in family bank deposits in China’s cities and towns. In 1984, the average family deposits were 1338 yuan while in 1998 it rose to 32000 yuan. Compared with the total bank deposits in 1984, the amount in 1998 was 19.4 times as much as that year.

对图表分析：

Several factors may contribute to this change. First, with the development of reform and open up, the family income has greatly increased and people have more spare money to put in the bank. Second, people are no longer content to buy small

items and they save money to purchase more expensive things such as cars and houses. Third, it seems that to put money in banks is still a main investment for most families. Families are willing to deposit money in banks to gain interests as well as to

contribute to the construction of our country.

得出结论：

From above analysis, we can see clearly as long as we adhere to reform and

open-up policy, the family income will continue to increase and meanwhile the family will have more spare money to put in the bank.
