《實用英文寫作》是學(xué)習(xí)英語寫作的初級指南,以大專層次的讀者為主要使用對象,旨在為讀者提供英語寫作指導(dǎo),為提高英語寫作水平提供切實的幫助。針對讀者的英語水平,在通俗、簡明闡釋英語寫作理論的同時,配備豐富的典型例子,使他們能夠輕松理解相關(guān)的理論知識。
全書分為9章,涉及英語寫作的詞、句、段、篇、應(yīng)用文、論文、考試作文、修辭、格式與標(biāo)點(diǎn)等9個方面,比較系統(tǒng)而具體地闡述了英語寫作中的基本理論知識、寫作要求和寫作技巧。
本書是一本新型的融傳統(tǒng)寫作技巧與現(xiàn)代語言學(xué)研究成果于一體并結(jié)合高職高專學(xué)生的特點(diǎn)編寫的英語寫作教材。
嚴(yán)格按照教育部對高職院校英語教學(xué)提出的基本要求,堅持實用型人才培養(yǎng)的目標(biāo),注意把握“以應(yīng)用為目的,實用為主,夠用為度”的教材編寫原則。本書編寫的具體指導(dǎo)原則如下:
(1)以大專層次的讀者為主要使用對象,為提高他們的英語寫作能力提供切實的指導(dǎo)。
(2)系統(tǒng)介紹寫作英語文章的基本理論和基本技巧。
(3)通俗、簡明地解釋寫作理論并配備豐富的典型例子,使本書的使用者能夠輕松理解相關(guān)的理論知識。
(4)提供適量韻練習(xí),以切實提高讀者的學(xué)習(xí)效果。
本書具有如下特色:
(1)針對性強(qiáng)。本書是專門為大專層次的讀者提供英語寫作的指導(dǎo)書,所以,本書的編者有意地控制了內(nèi)容的廣度和難度,以滿足他們的需要。
(2)實用性強(qiáng)。本書按照人們學(xué)習(xí)文章寫作的自然過程,從詞語運(yùn)用到全篇寫作,循序漸進(jìn)地提供完整的寫作指南。同時,本書簡明、通俗地講解基本的理論并配備豐富的例子,提供適量的練習(xí),使讀者能夠輕松理解相關(guān)的理論知識,扎實提高學(xué)習(xí)、訓(xùn)練的效果。
另外,考慮到讀者參加英語考試的需要,本書把應(yīng)試作文部分作為一章列出,就考試中常見的問題和應(yīng)試技巧作了較為詳細(xì)的說明。
本書由韓彥枝主編,趙萍主審。韓彥枝編寫chapter2和chapter6,趙萍編寫ch印ter1,田曉杰和牛震編寫chapter3,張獻(xiàn)玲和劉保華編寫chapter4,黃瑞鋒編寫ch印ter8、Chapter9和AppendiX,閆曉紅編寫chapter7,鄭帥、王典舉、劉彥和萬梅潔編寫chapter5。
由于編者水平有限,加之編寫時間倉促,書中不妥之處在所難免,懇請專家和廣大讀者批評指正。

An article is composed of sentences which consist of words. Word is to article what cell is tobody. The use of words closely affects the accuracy, clarity and power of expression. Therefore,learning to choose and use proper words is a fundamental step in practical writing.
The English language has a large vocabulary which is not less than 500,000. Besides, it has beenincreasing because of continuous entry of new words. But, people use only a small part of them inordinary writing. For a Chinese student, it is necessary to master those words that are most useful andcommonly used for ordinary purposes.
Although those commonly used words are limited, many of them are difficult to useappropriately in practical writing. In fact, during the writing process, almost all writers have to facethe uneasy task of choosing proper words and using them. A student who has studied English for afew years may have a vocabulary of several thousand words. But when he chooses words from hisvocabulary to express himself, he may choose improper words or use them inappropriately. It istherefore necessary for a learner of English writing to acquire a basic knowledge related to words.
Although there are tens of thousands words in the English vocabulary, only several thousandwords are most often used in everyday life. These words, forming the kernel of the Englishvocabulary, can be used on all occasions. They are common words. A learner of English writing firstneed to master these useful words and try to use them freely and correctly in writing practice.
Comparatively, some words are usually used on particular occasions. Technical words generallyoccur in special fields. For example, words like diabetes and poliomyelitis are most probably used totalk about something in medicine. Additionally, some words are often used in dialect or slang and soon. These words exist beyond standard English and can be termed nonstandard words. A student hadbetter avoid using these words unless he is quoting them.
