四、高分写作方法
Step 1 审题定位
明确写作任务为“写一篇关于一项发明的文章”。写作内容应包括发明的名称和发明者、发明的时间和原因、发明过程中遇到的困难、解决问题的过程、发明的主要用途及对生活的影响。
写作形式: 短文(Article)
写作对象: 老师或同学
时态要求: 一般过去时(描述发明过程)和一般现在时(描述用途和影响)并用
Step 2 搭建结构
第一段:介绍背景
介绍发明名称、发明者、发明时间和发明原因,点明这项发明的重要性。
第二段:描述过程
描述发明过程:遇到了什么困难、发明者如何产生创意、发明是如何一步步完成的。按时间顺序(First... Then... Next... Finally...)组织内容,使用被动语态。
第三段:突出价值
说明这项发明的主要用途和对人们生活的影响,表达对这项发明的评价。
Step 3 丰富内容
不要只简单介绍发明,要加入具体的历史背景、发明细节和影响事例。例如不只写“Cai Lun invented paper.”,还要写“In ancient China,many different materials were used to write on,such as animal bones and silk. These materials were either difficult to use or very expensive.”
Step 4 提升语言
使用被动语态(was invented,was made,were used)、一般过去时和一般现在时、连接词(because,so,when,and,not only...but also...)以及顺序词(first,then,next,finally),使文章结构清晰、内容丰富。
Step 5 检查修改
检查内容是否完整(名称→发明者→原因→过程→用途→影响)、结构是否清晰(三段式)、被动语态是否正确、顺序词使用是否恰当、拼写和标点是否有误。

篇章训练(参考范文)
1.例文
Throughout history, great ideas have led to great inventions that changed the world. In my opinion, one of the most important inventions is papermaking.
Papermaking was invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty around 105 CE. After many experiments, he successfully made paper that was soft, light, and cheap. Papermaking changed the world in many ways. It made it easier to record and spread knowledge. Later, when paper and printing were used together, the number of books increased rapidly. This led to a new birth of knowledge that shaped our modern world.
I believe the power of ideas lies in their ability to solve problems. Great ideas often come from observing daily life and asking questions.
2.例文
AI in Our Life
Hello, everyone! Today, I want to talk about AI in our life. AI has brought many benefits. It helps doctors find out illnesses faster and more correctly. Also, it allows us to compare prices of products online, saving time and money.
In my daily life, AI plays a helpful role. I use it to practice English. It corrects my pronunciation and helps me memorize words quickly. I also use AI to find some study materials. It’s easy and convenient.
However, if we depend too much on it and don’t use our brain, our ability of deep thinking and some skills may be weak. Let’s use AI wisely, balancing its convenience with our own abilities. Only in this way can we make AI serve us better.
3.例文:
Cai Lun invented papermaking in ancient China, which is a great creation. First, he collected materials like bark, plant fibers and old rags, then mixed them with water and boiled the mixture for a long time. Next, he beat the cooked materials into soft pulp and poured the pulp onto a fine bamboo screen to let water flow out. Finally, he dried the remaining fiber layer and pressed it to make thin, smooth paper. This invention was very important: it made writing much cheaper than using bamboo slips or silk. It also helped spread knowledge and culture around the world, so papermaking is seen as one of China’s most valuable contributions to human civilization.
