图书销售部门联系调换基础英语写作前言前言
英语教育日益普及,英语教学越来越重视写、说、译等语言应用技能的训练。英文写作一度只对英语专业的学生做出要求,但现在已是对各类英语学习者的普遍要求。写作项目在各种英语考试中占有越来越重要的地位。我们曾编写过英语专业写作系列教材《大学英文写作》,被不少高校采用。很多使用者给我们提供了宝贵的反馈意见,他们对教材内容体系给予充分肯定,但认为该教材全部用英语编写,起点较高,希望能有一本入门性的写作教材,这便是我们编写这本《基础英语写作》的缘起。为适应初学者的需要,《基础英语写作》用中文讲解,以英文为例,便于读者理解和掌握基本的英文写作技巧。这本教材内容的编写遵照从句子到段落、从段落到篇章的循序渐进的过程,与同类教材一致。我们在编写过程中不追求写作技能体系的完整,而是本着适用为主、够用为度的原则,以中国的英语学习者在初学写作过程中的常见问题为重点,根据一个学年的教学工作量安排教材内容,重点突出,具有针对性。不少初学英语写作者认为英文作文是中文作文的翻译版,其实不然。中文作文能够写得好当然有助于英文写作,但英文写作在句子结构、段落安排、篇章布局等方面与中文作文都有很大区别。针对这种情况,我们在写作技巧讲解中尽可能地突出强调英汉两种语言在写作上的区别,以便读者能够更清楚地理解和把握这些差异,写出符合英语表达习惯的作文。很多英语学习者学习写作的目的是为了通过考试,平时并不练习英文写作,只是在临考前找一本应试写作辅导书,背几个句式和几篇范文来应急。通过考试当然是很重要的,应试辅导书也有其实用之处,但这种临时抱佛脚的做法既扭曲了考试的初衷,也不利于个人的事业发展。我们希望,通过本教材的学习,学习者能实实在在地了解和掌握一些初步的英文写作技能,能够在工作和生活中通过书面英语进行表达和交流;我们相信,学习者如果能做到这一点,也必定能在写作考试中应付自如。本教材以句子、段落、篇章、修辞为基本框架,逐项讲解写作中最常用的技能。教材中每章正文前扼要点明本章学习重点,每节后附有“本节要点”,帮助学习者总结、把握重点内容。教材中的每项写作技能都配有适量的练习题,帮助学习者训练和检查学习内容,锻炼实际写作能力。书中另辟一章,专门讲解实用写作,介绍常见英语应用文的格式和写法,并介绍英语考试中常见作文题型和应试技巧,培养常见应用文写作能力和应试能力。本教材适用于高职高专、网络学院、自学考试的英语专业的写作教学,适用于非英语专业的大学英语写作教学,也可供初学英文写作的广大英语学习者作学习参考。本书的编写和出版得到了南京大学出版社杨金荣先生和董颖女士的大力支持,康文凯女士仔细校阅了全书并提出了文字修改意见,特此致谢。

用英语写文章,仅仅掌握一定的英语词汇是不够的。我们必须能够把已经掌握的词汇串成符合英语表达习惯的句子,并把句子按照一定的规则连成段落,最后根据我们所要表达的思想,把各段落连接起来,形成一篇文章。
若想写好文章,就必须写好段落;若想写好段落,首先必须写好句子。什么样的句子才是好句子?怎样才能写出正确而又得体的句子?这是本章讨论的重点。
本章中我们将学习以下内容:
句子的定义
句子类型
句子合并
句子简化
句子的多样性第一节句子类型
句子(sentence)是能够表达完整思想的基本语法单位,通常由一个或多个分句构成。每个分句(clause)至少包含两个部分:主语(subject)和谓语(predicate)。分句分为独立分句(independent clause)和非独立分句(dependent clause)两种。独立分句是可以单独成句的分句。1. Jenny has been a teacher for over 3 years.
2. Write down your answer now, although you may want to change it later.
3. Because you never complain, people think you are satisfied.上面的例句中,例1是独立分句。例2和例3中,下划直线的部分是独立分句;下画波浪线的部分不是独立分句,它们是非独立分句。
非独立分句是由when, who, while, if, because 等从属连词(subordinating conjunction)引导的分句;非独立分句不能独立成句,因为它不能表达一个完整的思想。非独立分句是独立分句的附属品,也称为从属分句或从句(subordinate clause)。
按结构划分,句子可以分为简单句(simple sentence)、并列句(compound sentence)、复合句(complex sentence)和并列复合句(compoundcomplex sentence)四种类型。
1.1.1简单句
简单句由一个独立分句组成,句中至少包含一个主语和一个谓语动词。如:4. Henry seems unhappy now.
5. Henry seems unhappy and doesnt know what to do next.
6. Henry and Susan seem unhappy after their quarrel.在例4~6中,下画单横线的部分是句子的主语部分,下划双横线的部分是句子的谓语部分。
写句子的时候要注意:句首的字母要大写,句末要有标点符号。句末标点有:句号(.)、问号(?)和感叹号(!)。如:7. What is in the box?
8. Jane was a powerful woman.
9. Do your homework!
10. Would you pass me the salt?
11. What a fine day it is!(例9是一个祈使句,省略了主语you。)
一个完整的句子必须至少有一个谓语动词,例12~14句中都缺少谓语动词,属于不完整句(fragment)。12. In order not to be late for school.

Exercise 3 Although they were invented almost a hundred years ago, for decades cars were only owned by the rich. Since the 60s and 70s they have become increasingly affordable, and now most families in developed nations, and a growing number in developing countries, own a car.While cars have undoubted advantages, of which their convenience is the most apparent, they have significant drawbacks, most notably pollution and traffic problems.【THESIS SENTENCE】
The most striking advantage of the car is its convenience.【TOPIC SENTENCE 1】When travelling long distance, there may be only one choice of bus or train per day, which may be at an unsuitable time. The car, however, allows people to travel at any time they wish, and to almost any destination they choose.
Despite this advantage, cars have many significant disadvantages, the most important of which is the pollution they cause.【TOPIC SENTENCE 2】Almost all cars run either on petrol or diesel fuel, both of which are fossil fuels. Burning these fuels causes the car to emit serious pollutants, such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrous oxide. Not only are these gases harmful for health, causing respiratory disease and other illnesses, they also contribute to global warming, an increasing problem in the modern world.
A further disadvantage is the traffic problems that they cause in many cities and towns of the world.【TOPIC SENTENCE 3】While car ownership is increasing in almost all countries of the world, especially in developing countries, the amount of available roadway in cities is not increasing at an equal pace. This can lead to traffic congestion, in particular during the morning and evening rush hour. In some cities, this congestion can be severe, and delays of several hours can be a common occurrence. Such congestion can also affect those people who travel out of cities at the weekend. Spending hours sitting in an idle car means that this form of transport can in fact be less convenient than trains or aeroplanes or other forms of public transport.
In conclusion, while the car is advantageous for its convenience, it has some important disadvantages, in particular the pollution it causes and the rise of traffic jams.【SUMMARY】If countries can invest in the development of technology for green fuels, and if car owners can think of alternatives such as car sharing, then some of these problems can be lessened.

Exercise 1
1. The thesis sentence of the essay: For me, the beach has always been a place of effortless ease.
2. a. The topic sentence in paragraph 2: The coast became a source of leisure and a symbol of freedom when I was still quite young.
b. The topic sentence in paragraph 3: There was even more to come before bedtime.
c. The topic sentence in paragraph 4: Now that I am grown, a trip to the beach has changed into a dramatically different experience.
d. The topic sentences in paragraphs 2 and 3 are directly related to the thesis sentence. The relationship between the thesis sentence and the topic sentence in paragraph 4 is not so direct, but content of paragraph 4 supports both the thesis sentence of the essay and the topic sentence of the paragraph. The topic sentence in paragraph 4 could be modified to relate itself more closely to the thesis sentence.
3. From paragraph 2 to paragraph 3, the development of the descriptions follows time order. When the writer moves from paragraphs 2 and 3 to paragraph 4, the development of the description still follows time order, but there is a big leap in time: in paragraphs 2 and 3, the author describes his childhood experience, and he switches to his adult experience in paragraph 4.
4. In the last paragraph, the first sentence refers back to the thesis sentence in the first paragraph.
5. a. Sight: surfers skimming the waves, radiant pinks and oranges
b. Sound: the rhythmic sound of waves
c. Touch: velvety sand, to wet my feet and cool myself from the extreme heat
6. Figures of speech used in this essay: metaphor (velvety sand), simile (darted back and forth like fireflies).
Exercise 2
1. Lessons the story reveals: Friendship requires being honest every day. By being honest, we build trust and show loyalty to one another. In keeping our friends secrets, we display honesty by keeping our word not to tell others. Finally, honesty means admitting our own mistakes, no matter how painful or embarrassing they may be. (In the first paragraph)
2. Yes , it is logical for the writer to draw such lessons from the story. / No. The details in the story support the lessons.
3. No, the story is not told in strict time order. It is told in inverted time order. From the first sentence in paragraph 2, we know the friendship has ended, and from then on the story of how the story came to an end was told in strict time order.
4. The second paragraph that told about their close friendship is very important to the development of the story. This paragraph provides a contrast to the breakup of their friendship; therefore, it helps to bring out the painfulness of the breakup and put emphasis on the lessons that the story wants to show.

Exercise 1
1. The thesis sentence: From the most insignificant to the most important moments in our lives, music helps make our experiences complete and helps us remember and celebrate our heritage as part of rituals and in everyday events.
2. Three categories of examples are used to illustrate the power of music. In the first category, “music in movies,” one example is used. In the second category, “music as symbols,” four examples are provided. In the third category, “music in rituals,” three examples are used. They all support the thesis statement.
3. The three categories of examples are arranged in climatic order. Examples in the second category (paragraph 3) are arranged in specificgeneral order. Examples in the third category (paragraph 4) are arranged into different categories (category order).
4. The chief means of transition is the use of transitional words and expressions. Other means of transition include the use of parallel structures and the use of pronouns.
Transitional words and expressions: for example, on the other hand, finally.

Exercise 3
An American architect has constructed an aquarium in the Japanese city of Osaka to give his visitors the experience of walking around the entire Pacific Ocean in only ninety minutes. What is this marvel?
