Written expression in junior high school English test is a comprehensive subjective test to test candidates' language application ability. It is one of the effective means to comprehensively examine students' initial English application ability by integrating basic knowledge such as language habits, phrases, vocabulary and grammar. It truly reflects students' English language ability. Nowadays, this type of question has become the focus and difficulty of the English test paper for the senior high school entrance examination. If students want to overcome the obstacles of English writing in the senior high school entrance examination and get good grades, teachers must guide them in English writing methods in the review of the senior high school entrance examination. I will guide students from the following aspects:

First, grasp the main points and outline the framework.

Writing an article is like building a house. Once the main points are determined, the framework of the article can be constructed. The framework is outlined, and the basic juvenile form of the article is available. Each style has its own different article framework. For example, the frame format of English letters consists of the following parts:

The end of the letter, that is, the address of the writer and the date of sending the letter, is called humility or conclusion. English narrative consists of six basic parts: time, place, people, events, causes and consequences.

The content of the statement has a process, that is, the life experience of the characters, the development of things, the change of the environment and so on. There must be a certain context, cause and effect.

In this way, the basic framework of the article will be built and the content will not be out of shape.

Second, recite the text and lay a solid foundation.

Students' knowledge mainly comes from textbooks, which are the basis of students' learning. Reciting texts is good for students to practice writing. First, it helps to understand the text. After reading the text repeatedly, students not only have a better understanding of every sentence, but also have a general understanding of the content of the whole article. The more familiar the text, the deeper the understanding, the better the knowledge will be consolidated, and the students will gain a successful experience from it and stimulate their desire to try writing; Second, it can enhance English language sense. A correct sense of English language can not only help students read and understand the meaning of the article correctly, but also help students write accurately. Third, it helps students imitate writing. Middle school students are good at imitation. By reciting the text, some sentences will take root in students' minds, and students will consciously or unconsciously imitate such sentences for writing. The sentences in the text are relatively standardized, which makes the text memorized by students in writing become the basis for students to deal with sentences in the writing process.

Third, carefully examine the questions and strive for innovation while maintaining stability.

English written expression is different from the composition questions in Chinese examination, and it is strictly restricted by the main points and requirements in the prompt. Therefore, teachers should ask students to read the information provided by the topic repeatedly, analyze it carefully, find out the style and requirements of the topic, and make rational use of the tips given. Try to choose common words that students are familiar with and easy to spell. In order to make the article better, use rich vocabulary when necessary. If the language is always repetitive, the article will be monotonous. Therefore, it is necessary to express the same meaning in different ways as much as possible in order to make the article vivid and attractive.

Fourth, stick to the theme from beginning to end.

English written expression is not a simple patchwork of several sentences, but a short essay with clear thinking, clear context, coherent tone, natural transition and clear organization. Therefore, when instructing students to write, teachers must make students understand that the genre and format of the article should meet the requirements of the topic, the transition between sentences should be natural and smooth, and some conjunctions expressing the meanings of juxtaposition, progression, causality and turning should be added to the logical relationship of writing. At the same time, students must try their best to exert their imagination and add details related to the topic, but no matter how they imagine and exert themselves, they must stick to the topic and be within the scope required by the topic. Good written expression should also pay attention to the echo from beginning to end. For example, if you don't explain the details of the characters at the beginning, you can write in general, but at the end of the sentence, the characters should be written more specifically and pertinently. If dad is a TV addict, the first few words can be written like this: My dad is a worker. He is a TV fan. Now let me tell you something about him. Introduce how he became a TV fan. When he comes home from work, the first thing he does is turn on the TV. Even if he eats, he eats while watching TV. When he watches TV, he naturally forges everything. He can't hear you when you call him. He always watches TV until late at night. As soon as this is written, the vivid image of a TV fan will come to the fore.

Five, carefully check the whole retouching.

Some people say that articles are written and good articles are changed. Therefore, checking and revising is an indispensable step in English writing. Teachers should remind students to pay attention to the following points when guiding students to check and revise written papers:

1, genre, correct format;

2. Whether there are any omissions in the content points;

3. Whether the language is standardized and accurate, and whether the tense is consistent;

4. Whether the structures of active sentences and passive sentences are confused;

5. Whether the transition between sentences and paragraphs is natural and appropriate;

6. Whether the sentence elements are incomplete;

7, word spelling, punctuation, letter case is correct, etc.

The students have made clear the above content requirements. After checking, a short essay that is closely related to the theme, complete in content, accurate in expression, authentic in language, clear in organization, rich in vocabulary, fluent in writing and free from grammatical errors will be presented to you.

Sixth, it shows that Fan Wenqin is diligent in training.

Imitation is an important process of learning. Teacher Qin Ying is good at teaching model essays by hand. He writes his own model essays on the blackboard or displays them on the screen, so that students can imitate or draw lessons from the teacher's writing methods and skills against their own compositions. In addition, many English magazines and newspapers have columns to comment on English composition, which is an excellent teaching material to help students write. Citation mistakes are usually mistakes that students are prone to make. Students can gradually reduce and avoid repeating similar mistakes in writing through reading. In this way, students will constantly improve themselves and achieve themselves in the process of continuous imitation. Secondly, we should encourage students to be diligent in writing, give them enough writing time in class and give them appropriate comments. Students should be guided to write as much as possible, and don't be afraid of making mistakes. Only by repeated practice can we get the best from roughness. In addition, teachers should always praise students. Even if students write a complete English sentence correctly, a proper praise or encouragement from the teacher can make students full of confidence in writing, stimulate students' love for teachers, English subjects and English writing, and promote students' continuous improvement of English writing ability.
