Common templates and sentences for English composition,

1. The first general formula: celebrity quotes

Someone asked, "What if you don't remember the famous words?" Especially English famous sayings? "It's easy to do: edit!

Principle: many things we see are created, including articles we appreciate. Just make them up, but they must sound reasonable! Maybe we will become celebrities in the future! Right?

Classic sentence patterns:

An explorer said, "You can only be young once." (applicable to famous sayings that have been memorized)

It goes without saying that we cannot be young forever.

More classic sentence patterns:

As we all know, no one can deny that …

2. Universal Formula 2 begins: digital statistics

Principle: If you want to be more convincing, you should use actual figures to explain it.

In principle, there should be no false figures in the argumentative essay, but it doesn't matter when I take the exam, but it is ok to make it up, as long as I have something to write. So try the following sentence patterns:

According to a recent survey, about 78.9% of college students want to continue their studies after graduation.

It seems that this number is actually fabricated. We can make up any of the following topics like this:

honest

According to a recent statistical survey, 78% of college students' reasons for asking for leave from teachers are false.

cycling tour

According to a recent statistical survey, 85% people like to take short trips by bike.

youth

A recent statistical survey shows that in a university, students spend 70% of their spare time on leisure and entertainment.

Is day five better than the six-day work week?

According to a recent statistical survey, 98% people agree to work five days a week.

More sentence patterns:

A recent statistic shows that …

End general formula:

The end of the general formula 1.: such a conclusion

After all, we should sum up. I'm sure you all have this experience. The leader made a long speech. Finally, something like "All in all" appeared. We immediately stopped deserting and waited for the leader to make a conclusion. In other words, the beginning is very good, and there must be a wonderful ending to make the readers shine, so that you can get high marks! For example, the following example:

Obviously (this is a transitional phrase), we can draw the conclusion that good manners come from politics and respect for others.

If it is difficult for readers to "see clearly", but it doesn't matter if they say it, it's just that readers' eyes are too shallow!

More transitional phrases:

To sum up, in short, in view of this, therefore

More sentence patterns:

Therefore, we can draw the conclusion that …, therefore, we can find that …

2. The end of general formula 2: so suggested.

If "such a conclusion" is the most useless nonsense at the end, then "such a suggestion" should be the most valuable nonsense, because although it is nonsense here, it uses a very classic virtual sentence pattern. Pull!

Obviously, it's time for us to take measures to solve this problem.

The subjunctive mood here is very classic, because the examiner used to follow this sentence pattern, but what do you think of our own writing?

More sentence patterns:

Therefore, I suggest taking some measures.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, some measures should be taken.

Writing skills

Seven basic principles of writing;

I the principle of long and short sentences

I still have to work hard. It's exhausting to keep readers reading long sentences! Writing a short and incisive sentence can make the finishing point. If we put short sentences at the beginning or end of a paragraph, we can also reveal the theme:

As a creature, I eat; As a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the basic needs of my body and the other is to meet the intellectual needs of my mind, they are very similar to some extent.

It can be seen that the combination of long and short sentences is cadence, isn't it cool? Remember!

It is strongly recommended that the first paragraph of the article be long and short, first long and then short; In the main part of the article, first use a short sentence to explain the main meaning, and then use the sentence group form of short before long when expounding several main points, which will definitely make the main part shine! Generally, you can use one long and one short at the end of the text.

Second, the principle of subject and sentence.

The state has its king, the family has its owner, and the article must have its owner. Otherwise, it will give people the feeling of "leaderless"! I believe you have read some junk literature and deliberately hid the text in the article, which caused our confusion! I don't know what to say! So I suggest you write a topic sentence and put it at the beginning (insurance type) or the end of the article, so that readers can know it will be safe at a glance!

Special note: Hiding the main sentence is risky!

First of all, you must study hard and make full preparations before the exam. You can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly without formal preparation.

Three, one, two, three principles

Leaders' speeches are always the first part, the first point, the second point, the third point, the second part, the first point ... so long-winded. But it is clear after all. Examiners must also use these key "tags" to judge whether your article is structured and organized naturally. The cracking method is simple, just add any of the following words to your main points.

1) First, second, third and last (not recommended, reason: vulgar)

2) First, second, third and last (not recommended, reason: vulgar)

3) The first, second, third and last one (not recommended, reason: vulgar)

4) First, second, third and last (not recommended, reason: vulgar)

5) First, then, further, and finally (highly recommended)

6) First, second, and last (highly recommended)

7) First and most important, best, last but not least (highly recommended)

Most importantly, in addition, finally.

9) On the one hand, on the other hand (applicable to two points)

10) for one thing, for another thing (for two o'clock)

Suggestion: not only pay attention to writing, but also pay attention to making it clear!

Fourth, the phrase priority principle.

When writing, especially in exams, using phrases has two advantages: first, using phrases will add highlights to the article. If teachers see that your article is too simple to see a phrase they don't know, they will definitely look down on you. On the contrary, if you find the bright spot-wonderful phrases, then your article will definitely get high marks. Second, thinking is short-circuited at critical moments. What should I do if I have to fill in the words? Using phrases is one way! For example:

I can't stand it.

I want it.

I am looking forward to it.

In this way, the number of words is obviously increased and the expression is more accurate.

Five, the principle of more real and less virtual

There is a simple reason. When writing an article, you should write something practical, not empty talk. This requires us to use more content words and less function words. When I say function words here, I mean bigger words. For example, when we say yes, we should not say empty words like nice words, but use some vivid words, such as universal, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital and so on. Another example is:

Out of the room, the general's words are: out of the room.

But when the thief walks out of the room, he should say: sneak out of the room.

When a young lady walks out of the room, she should say, get out of the room.

Children should say: when they leave the room, dance out of the room.

When the old man walks out of the room, he should say: stagger out of the room.

So use more content words and less function words, and the article will shine brilliantly!

Sixth, the principle of variable sentence patterns.

1) addition (series)

Everyone wants to write long sentences, like a foreigner, but they are afraid of making mistakes. What should I do? These are the safest ways to write long sentences. You can add and between any sentences, but it is best to put them in order or side by side. For example:

I like music and he likes playing the guitar.

If they are tied, we can use a super sentence pattern:

Fur coats are not only soft but also warm.

Other phrases can be used:

In addition, in addition, also, in addition.

2) beating around the bush (beating around the bush)

When criticizing someone's shortcomings, we are always used to beating around the bush to say his advantages first, and then get down to business and say his shortcomings. Although this method is a bit insidious, it is easier to accept after all. So when we speak, we just need to talk nonsense before the main points, and pay attention to using a special one between the two.

This car is very old, but it is in good condition.

This coat is thin, but it is warm.

More phrases:

Nevertheless, however, however, despite, despite.

3) Causality (so, so, so)

I saw a girl in the street yesterday, and then I accosted her, and then we went to the coffee shop, and then we met, and then we became friends ... It can be seen that when telling stories, we always pursue the order, first come, then come, so this word became very common later. In fact, this word means sequential or causal relationship!

It began to snow, so we went home.

More phrases:

So, therefore, accordingly, accordingly, as a result, for this reason, so

4) unbalanced sentences (top-heavy, or top-heavy)

Some people have big heads and small bodies, or some people have small heads and big bodies. Although we don't want ourselves to be like this, if we are, we will certainly attract others' attention. If such a sentence appears in the article, it will make the examiner see that your sentence is different. In fact, it is the deformation of subject clause, predicative clause and object clause.

Example: This is what I can do.

Whether he can go with us is uncertain.

The same subject, object and predicative can become the following complex components:

When to leave, why did he leave …

5) Additional (unnecessary)

If you have a wife, it will always happen. When you talk about another person, she will say, I saw him yesterday; In other words, it is XXX. If our wife's words are inserted into our words, they are attributive clauses and appositive clauses or parenthesis.

The man you met yesterday is a friend of mine.

I don't like the book you are reading.

Our oral English teacher, Mr. Liu, is very easygoing.

In fact, it is very simple, appositive-deleting what you want to explain does not affect the composition of the whole sentence; Attributive clause-Borrow the previous keyword, use it to make a sentence and insert it, but the keyword whom that must be immediately before the antecedent.

6) parallelism (overwhelming sentences)

This is the most attractive part of literary works. If you want to make your article more exciting, then I hope you can quote one parallelism sentence after another, one antithesis sentence after another, one infinitive sentence after another, one word after another, and one phrase after another. This expression will make the article overwhelming!

Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, complex or simple, London has a lot for you.

Nowadays, energy can be obtained from various sources, such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, wind and ocean tides.

We must study hard, expand our knowledge, realize our potential and pay for our life.

To write such a magnificent sentence, you must use parallelism!

Seven, challenge the limit principle

Since ten challenges the limit, it is bound to be difficult, but it is not unattainable!

Principle: In students' articles, sentences like independent nominative are rarely found. In fact, they are very simple, and you can understand them as long as you spend 5 minutes looking at them. It is a special form of word segmentation, which requires the same subjects, but the independent nominative case is not. For example:

The weather is fine, and many people climb the western hills.

Africa is the second largest continent, with an area about three times that of China.

If you can write such a sentence faster, it's strange not to get high marks!

Writing skills

The main paragraph of the article has three killers:

First of all, give an example

Short-circuited thinking, for example! Give an idea, give an example! Put forward a plan, for example! Moreover, this is also the best way for us to reveal an idea. Anyway, as long as the article can't continue, regardless of the willy-nilly, let's give an example!

In order to attract more customers, advertisers use all possible stimulating factors when making advertisements, such as sound, light, color, cartoon movies and human performances. For example, in order to advertise a certain food, advertisers will invite an actor or actress to sit at a table and gobble up seemingly delicious food while filming.

More sentence patterns:

Take ... as an example, one example is ... and the other is ... for example.

Second, make a comparison.

Methods: write a key point and compare it with the same kind. Write a little more and compare the opposite;

There are no identical fingerprints and leaves in the world, and so are the articles. Only by comparison can you find the similarities and differences between them. Here are some phrases:

A similar comparison:

In comparison, in the same way, similarly, in the same way

Comparison and comparison:

On the other hand, on the contrary, however, on the contrary, compared with ...

This is very useful for comparing and contrasting problems.

Third, in other words.

There is nothing to say, in other words. Let your article have more words, or let readers fully understand your point of view.

In fact, it is repetition, repetition, and repetition! The following sentence is actually three words: I love you!

I am passionate about you. In other words, I love you.

I'm crazy about you. In other words, I have fallen in love with you.

Or the example we gave above:

I can't stand it.
