英語寫作時考生由于倉促，緊張等原因，很容易犯一些簡單的，一眼就能發現的錯誤。所以考生一定要留出幾分鐘時間用于修改。不要大幅度進行修改，更不要因為修改破壞卷面整潔，影響閱卷老師心情。修改時可以從以下幾點進行：

　　1)語法：包括時態是否一致，主謂是否一致，名詞單復數是否對應，被動主動語態是否錯用等

　　2)詞匯：包括連接上下句或段落的關聯詞，習慣用語，固定搭配，詞類混淆，誤用及物不及物動詞等。

　　3)篇章：包括文章的中心思想是否正確(這對于議論文來說至關重要)、結構是否合理(要做到direction要求的內容缺一不可，沒有要求的內容不要自作多情的寫在文章中)。

　　因此，考生在復習時更應該強調方法的應用效能，下面，以一片真題為例分析并總結大作文的寫作流程，細心體味定會有豁然開朗的感覺。

　　寫好漫畫類作文，一般有以下幾個步驟：

　　(1)根據所給的漫畫以及漫畫的文字敘述內容，提煉漫畫的主題。

　　Example:

　　DIRECTIONS:

　　A. Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay in no less than 150 words.

　　B. Your essay must be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET II.

　　C. Your essay should meet the requirements below:

　　解析：漫畫中，母雞下蛋后十分驕傲的表情，并吹噓到：“本母雞下的蛋沒有棱角，保證有蛋皮，蛋清，蛋黃。”可見，母雞為之驕傲和吹噓的事情實為分內之事，無須大勢渲染。正如，“如此承諾”中概括的一樣：各行各業興承諾，歡迎監督不推脫，原本皆為分內事，何須高唱文明歌。綜上所述，漫畫主題為“承諾分內事”。

　　(2)根據要求(direction)，確定文章段落的數量和段落的內容，即文章的提綱。

　　解析：1. Write out the messages conveyed by the cartoon.

　　2. Give your comments

　　根據提綱中的信息1. Write out the messages conveyed by the cartoon. 本文開頭需要兩個段落，即客觀描述漫畫段，引出暗含主題段。

　　根據提綱中的信息2. Give your comments 本篇文章下文要體現出作者對該現象的評論，即持有該觀點的原因和最后得出的結論。

　　即，文章由四個段落組成：客觀描述漫畫段—主題段—原因段—對策段。

　　(3)根據提綱要求，利用恰當語句組段成篇。

　　SAMPLE

　　As is shown in the cartoon, the hen that has just laid an egg is shouting, with her head raised high, "I ensure that my egg brings no corners and that it consists of such three parts as eggshell, egg white and yolk."

　　What I've mentioned above is the surface messages conveyed by the cartoon. It seems from the hen's proud look that she is expected to make a promise for the egg she lays. It fact, it is clear that the hen promises what turns out to be her own duty.

　　There are some possible reasons for this common social phenomenon. For one thing, the social competition is becoming so fierce that all trades tend to produce ads to make themselves better known to the public. For another, they're not prepared to face the challenge and as a result, they can do little except declare their own duty as something praiseworthy.

　　In my opinion, every trade should try every means to improve its competitive forces instead of boasting like the hen in the cartoon. Therefore, I draw my conclusion that just as a hen shouldn't promise for her egg, so no trade in the society should boast themselves for something within their duty and that they should work hard to provide more benefits for the society. In a word, try not to be like the boasting hen in our life!
