一、注重基礎，循序漸進
要打好語言能力的基礎。詞彙是寫作的基本建築材料之一，有效的使用詞彙，對於表達文章的思想內容和風格特點具有重要的作用。詞彙量不足或掌握得不好，都會給寫作帶來困難。不僅要教足詞彙量，還要講清楚每個詞的使用條件、用法及搭配關係，進行典型的同義詞、近義詞比較，點出構詞法，然後通過例句說明，讓學生模仿着造句。學生只有在掌握大量的詞彙量的基礎上，寫作時才能得心應手地選擇適合文章主體和風格的詞、意義確切的詞、表達清晰生動的詞、形象具體而又符合英語慣用法的詞。除此之外，語法規則與句型也是英語寫作必備的重要建築材料，更要加強訓練。一篇成功的中考作文是由清晰的、合乎語法規則的句子組成的。所以，加強詞彙教學，對句型與語法的訓練是提高英語寫作水平的重要保證！
有了一定的基礎之後，就可以寫作了，學生的英語寫作能力並非是一蹴而就的。教師在訓練學生寫作時必須由淺入深、由簡到繁，循序漸進。在學生動筆時，要嚴格要求他們正確、端正、熟練地書寫字母、單詞和句子，注意大小寫和標點符號。在學生行文時，要求寫出簡單的短句，這樣輕易不會出錯。例如寫“我的家庭”：There are three members in my family: my father, my mother and I. My father is an engineer. My mother is a teacher. I am a student. My parents are busy all day. I often help them with the housework. They love me deeply. I love them, too. 繼而要求學生寫出含有一般過去時、一般將來時、現在或過去進行時、現在完成時、過去完成時等句子的.文章，這種練習可以安排在第一輪複習中。之後，再逐步提高難度。如：學了 My classroom 一課後，可以指導學生寫出Instructions your classroom 這篇作文；學習Let，s Celebrate！可以指導學生寫中國的新年等。
二、範例引路，限時訓練
在學生進行寫作訓練時，教師應提供各種文體的範文，講明各種文體的要求，如日記、書信、便條、通知、調查報告等格式。 如日記：週末，你和媽媽逛商店，看到一位外國人想買一雙鞋，他不懂漢語，售貨員也不懂英語，你上前幫忙，爲他們翻譯，幫他買到了合適的鞋。這位外國人很高興並向你致謝，媽媽表揚了你。
Jun3, 2010 Sunday Fine
This afternoon I went shopping with mum. While we were walking around in the shopping,I saw a foreigner in the shoe department. He was talking to a salesgirl in English. It seemed that the girl coudn，t understand him. I came up to him and asked if I could help him. He told me he wanted to buy a pair of black leather shoes for himself. He wore Size 41. Then I told the girl what he need. When the man got the right shoes, he was very happy and thanked me a lot. On the way back home, mum praised me and encouraged me to learn English better.
再如：書信，便條。書信和便條在書寫的格式上是相同的，我們以書信爲範例，請根據提示寫一篇短文。
1.你叫捷克，在第一中學讀初三，父母對你管得很緊，幾乎沒有時間玩；
2．瘋狂於流行音樂，經常花許多時間聽音樂；
3．由於成績下降，父母和老師很生你的氣，同學也經常嘲笑你，你不得不放棄這個愛好；
4．現在你很苦惱，不知該怎麼辦，希望得到青少年專家李女士的建議。
Dear Mrs Li,
My name is Jack. I’m in Grade 9. I study in No.1 Middle School. My parents are very strict with me. They hardly allow me to play during my free time. They ask me to spend all the time studying. I hate this very much.
I am very crazy about pop music. I often spend much time listening to pop music after school or on Sundays. I have less and less time to study. Now my study is getting worse and worse. My parents and teachers are very angry with me. My classmates usually laugh at me. I feel very stressed and don’t know what to do. Please give me some useful suggestions. Hope to hear from you soon.
