高考英语书面表达讲解与训练——开放性写作一. 教学内容：书面表达讲解与训练开放性写作（北京卷）开放性写作是北京卷近两年增加的第二篇作文，英文为open-ending composition。
它所给提示比较简单，要求学生根据提供的情景，写一段接续文字。
这篇作文要求学生充分发挥想象力和创造力，自己拓展主题，组织篇章结构，既能体现出学生活跃的思维，又能表现出他们的逻辑思维能力和灵活运用英语的能力。
它要求学生必须在短时间内写出一篇内容充实新颖、思想健康、符合逻辑、交际得体的，字数不少于50个字的作文。
写作注意要点：1. 审题要准，定位要清。
即：审语境、审人称、审时态。
注意写作对象和语言风格，要有读者的意识，看文章是以第几人称出现；说话的对象是谁；看清题目要求。
2. 逻辑清晰，合情合理。
要做到思想健康，积极向上。
要力求内容新颖，必须符合逻辑。
要把理由说充分，是在现实生活中可能会发生的事情。
内容要新颖、健康、乐观向上，（所表述的内容、观点是主动、积极向上的），我们在写作时要注意的是求新并不等于求怪，并不是说越希奇古怪、越离谱越好。
内容新颖并非是别人完全没提过的、全新的想法，而是别人在相同的情景之下讲得比较少的，又不违背逻辑的想法。
新颖的思路能够充分表现学生的创造力。
3. 内容充实，详略得当。
要有主次之分，详略得当。
要进行细致描写，有细节的支撑。
考查的目的---能否正确使用英语达到交际的目的。
（语言要口语化）把事情说具体，缺少细致的描写，就像建房只搭架子不用砖一样，显得空洞无味。
英语写作有一条座右铭，那就是“show more than tell”，意思是细节表达一定要多于抽象陈述，也就是写作要细节化或举例说明。
我们尽量用看得见、摸得着的东西来具体表达思想。
才能使文章充实、有趣，符合开放作文的要求。
4. 内容完整、首尾呼应。
要紧扣主题，符合要求，首尾呼应有头有尾；展现给读者一个完整的画面。

To improve traffic in Beijing, I think, first, we should widen or build more roads to provide better traffic conditions.

Third, everyone in Beijing, especially those who drive or walk on the street, should follow the traffic rules.7. As far as city transport is concerned, I prefer buses because they are cheapest way to get around. On the other hand, compared with the cityrail, there are many more bus routes throughout the town, which make any trip easy. As the expense of using taxis is much greater, I seldom take them. Sometimes I ride a bike because by this means I am free to go wherever I would like to, the places which buses or the cityrail do not reach.8.
