爱在行动老师——关于英语作文答博友问

——书香文苑“助友团”特别推出

第十届书香班级活动正如火如荼的进行着，不管是孩子们，还是家长老师们都在用心的参与着活动，在读与写间，尽情挥洒。奖项很多，涉及面广泛，校讯通为要求成长的孩子、家长、老师大家了一个温馨的平台。

“英语达人”同样吸引着好多的博友们，他们摩拳擦掌，跃跃欲试，想要把在教室里，在补习班里学到的英语知识闪亮的展现在众人面前。但是，在写的过程中遇到了好多困难，或者是疑问。作为一名爱着校讯通的英语教师，发自内心的想帮助他们，也乐意帮助这些向上的力量。我们“书香文苑助友团”特意把博友们遇到的问题作了总结，希望给爱着英语的孩子们以帮助。

一、写好了，不敢发文怎么办？（写英语文总不能推荐怎么办？）

其实，在校讯通写博就是一个心态问题，只有不带任何功利性质的写博才会促人进步，才会脱颖而出。

作为“英语达人”的评选，相信校讯通的本意并不是让大家去苛求获奖，而是为大家搭建一个平台，在这里互相交流，互相学习，在写作的过程中，交流的过程中，慢慢提高自己，改善自己。只有敢写，敢于把自己的不足展现在众人面前，接受大家的建议，才能起到事半功倍的作用。

“林蔓的天空”和“毕楠鑫”就是很好的两个榜样。这两个孩子很是用心，写出的英语作文很实在，一点都不做作，而且敢于把自己所学的英语知识用在文章中，接受大家的建议，这本身就是值得表扬的。大家不妨到这两个孩子的博客里转转，找点思路，找点勇气。

练习的多了，也就会推荐了，不是吗？

二、写的有点短，怎么就写不长呢？

有孩子就说，写语文作文一发就不可收拾，一些就会一千多字，可是写英语作文总写不长，不知道怎样阐述开。

我想以“董金钊”的英语作文“My Family”为例，讲述一下，英语作文如何写长？

My Family

Everyone has a family. Of course I have a family too. There are three people in my family. They are my father, my mother and me.

I am a happy boy. I have lived in Ji Yuan for eleven years. My Chinese name is Dong Jin Zhao. My English name is Jack. I like reading books，drawing pictures and playing basketball. I am eleven years old this year. I study in Yellow River Road Primary School. I always go to school by car. My father takes me to school every day. But sometimes I go by bike.

My mother is a teacher. She has a short black hair, two big eyes. Her eyes look like two grapes. And she has a small mouth. She has some fat. She is very kind. But sometimes she is strict. One day, I was doing my homework. My mother was cooking a meal. Suddenly, she said:“Jack, do you want a glass of water?” I said:“ No, thank you!” Then, I still did my homework. She was very angry when she saw my homework. She said:“Is this your homework? It is so bad. Isn’t it?” I am very embarrassed. From then on I did my homework carefully.

My father is an office worker. He wears glasses. He has very short hair. And he has two big ears. He is very hard working. One day, it was a Sunday. My father got up early and went to work. I asked my mother：“What is my father going to do?”My mother said:“He will come back in a minute.”My father came back when we were eating breakfast. Because he forgot today was Sunday.

This is my family. I love my family. What about your family? Please tell me.

董金钊这篇文章写的就很长。仔细读来这篇英语文章有些有肉，很实在。金子在描述妈妈时，首先表述了妈妈的外貌，妈妈的性格等等，这些大家都会写，而往往写到这里，孩子们就觉得，没有什么要写的啦，想再写点，就是不知道怎样表达，而金子同学却用具体的事例写出了妈妈对自己学习要求的严格。还有关于爸爸周日还上班，与妈妈的对话，表现爸爸对工作的认真态度，这些具体的事例就为英语文章添色彩，还会为文章增加了“长度“。

三、时态问题怎么处理？

英语中的时态问题，对于初中生来说，是一个重点也是一个难点，更别说是小学生了。但是，对于孩子们写英语作文，千万不可专注于时态，只要达到交流的目的，表达清楚想要表达的就可以了。

比如林蔓同学的A day of my life，我就这样给她评语：阿姨再给个建议：英语文章的表述要注意时态的运用。“我的一天”，阿姨就认为是在讲述，生活中的每一天，那这样就需要整篇文章都要使用一般现在时；如果题目包含的意思是，过去或者昨天或者某一具体的一天，那么整篇文章就应该使用一般过去时。于是，这个认真可爱的林蔓就写了两篇，一篇一般现在时，一篇一般过去时。

再比如金钊同学的A Fine Day的第一段It rained yesterday evening. Today the sky is quiet. It is a sunny day again.第一句是一般过去时，第二句就是一般现在时，也就是说，同一篇文章，甚至同一段落也可以使用不同的时态。

四、英语作文怎么都是“我的……”？

对于初写英语作文的孩子来说，以“我的……“为话题写，是最好的。因为这样的话题不用考虑时态问题，只要使用一般现在时态就完全可以。而且都可以仿照课本上的句子，显得比较容易些，好写一些。

但是，如果想更扩展一步，也是很好的。那就是写英语日记，以生活为话题，写每天经历的小事情，把这样的事情用英语表达出来，既丰富了生活，又练习了英语，这样的文章多使用一般过去时态。

比如“梁天啸”同学写的一篇日记：A Happy Thing

Everyone has many happy things. For example, playing computer games, playing basketball, going for a drive and so on. I think helping others is the happiest thing.

On early spring day, I went to my grandmother’s home to visit them by myself. I was on the way happily by bike. I listened to the music and enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the road. At that time, I happened to meet a family. The woman asked quickly,“Where is the strawberry garden? How to get to the strawberry garden?” When I heard their questions, I smiled. Because I knew it. It is near my mother’s school, I have been to it twice. So I told them the way to the strawberry garden quickly, and said,“We are on the same way.” They were very happy. So I led them to get to the strawberry garden. The woman’s son jumped happily when he saw the lots of strawberries. I was very happy, too. They said thanks to me. I said goodbye to them.

Though I went to my grandmother’s home late, I was happy. At the moment, I really feel help others to be happy yourself.

文章中讲述了自己去姥姥家的路上，遇到问路的一家人，自己如何为陌生人指路，如何带领陌生人到达目的地的事情，还写了感受。这样的文章就脱离了“我的……”，给人的感觉就是能自如的运用英语，达到“新意”。

所以，在此希望亲爱的孩子们，能够试着将每天发生的小事情，用英语表达出来，等你真正用英语能够表达生活时，你会发现英语作文如此的简单。

校讯通为我们大家提供了这么好的一个平台，我们心存感激。好好利用，大胆表现，积极写博。练习的过程就是提高的过程，英语就在于多练。

爱在行动应“书香文苑助友团”“公主艺琳”的邀请，为大家写一篇关于英语作文的指导文章，思来想去，就以答博友问答的方式写下了这篇文章，还望对博友有所帮助。
