Im Li Hua and Im very happy to stand here to talk about myself. 232017中考常见十类错误英语写作中，这10类错误千万不能再犯了！英语写作是对同学们词汇、短语、句型、语法甚至是阅读能力的综合考查，最能反映大家的英语水平。所以，无论从考试还是个人今后发展的角度来考虑，都应加倍重视英语写作。下面是同学们在英语写作中常犯的十项错误，看看你有几项呢，有则改之，无则加勉！1 审题不清如某一年的中考作文要求写一项最喜欢的课外活动，有些考生将作文的主题定位为“我最喜欢的活动”，偏离了“一项、课外活动”这一主题。依据作文的评分原则，若文章内容不切题，则不管语言如何规范、用词如何准确，都会被判为零分。 2 拼写错误拼写是考生应该具备的最起码的基本功，但在考生的作文中却经常能发现很多拼写错误。有拼写错误的作文肯定会被酌情扣分，而且有大量拼写错误存在的作文不仅体现出语言基本功差，同时也直接影响内容的表达，通常会降低作文的档次。243 名词单复数问题 误：My father and my mother is all teacher.正：My father and my mother are both teachers.4 缺少动词在汉语中没有动词的句子是允许的，但英语中每个完整的句子都必须有动词来构成，如：“我累了。”这个句子没有动词作谓语，而用形容词，但英语形容词不能作谓语，一定要写成：Im tired. 误：I happy I can come to Beijing Zoo.正：I am happy I can come to Beijing Zoo.误：The apples cheap. Ill take some.正：The apples are cheap. Ill take some.255 缺少介词、冠词等还有一些考生因为没有熟练掌握介词或者冠词的用法，不了解中英文语言习惯的不同，也会出现明显的错误，造成丢分现象。 误：Because heavy rain we cant hold the sports meeting.正：Because of the heavy rain we cant hold the sports meeting.6 代词的误用英语中代词的形式很多，包括主格、宾格、物主代词、反身代词等。而汉语中没有主格和宾格、形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词之分。此外汉语中很多时候不用物主代词，而英语中物主代词是不可省略的，代词的误用是考生最容易发生的错误之一。 误：I mother and I went to the shop to buy a present for I father. 正：My mother and I went to the shop to buy a present for my father.267 句子不完整有的考生因为对句子结构认识模糊，所以出现只写半句的现象，这也是造成失分的原因之一。误：Many students have a hard time passing all the tests to get into college. For example， my friend in high school.(这段文章的第二句话没有动词，不能独立构成一个句子。这是一个非常常见的错误，修改的方法是将两个句子连接起来。)正：Many students have a hard time passing all the tests to get into college， for example， my friend in high school.8 前后不一致所谓不一致，包括数的不一致、时态不一致及代词不一致、主谓不一致等。 误：When one have knowledge， he can do what he want to do.(one是单数第三人称，因而本句的have应改为has ；同理，want应改为wants。本句是典型的主谓不一致。正：When one has knowledge ， he can do what he wants to do.279 时态、人称和数的搭配错误汉语动词无时态、人称和数的变化，而对英语来说，这些都至关重要。误：When I get to the station the train leave.正：When I got to the station the train had left.10 综合性错误综合性错误是指单词的大小写和标点符号的错误等，以及形容词和副词的混淆、连词的误用等等。这些都是靠考生平时知识的积累，所以考生应该从平时练习出发，每天坚持写英语日记，多读适合自己英语水平的原版著作，提高自己的英语素养。28Writing 书面表达书面表达中考考点基本要求：中考考点基本要求：1.1.根据中文提示，写一篇根据中文提示，写一篇8080词词左右左右的英文表达。的英文表达。( (尽量不要超过尽量不要超过100100个单词个单词) )2.2.内容完整，用词准确，句子通顺、内容完整，用词准确，句子通顺、连贯、单词拼写和连贯、单词拼写和标点符号标点符号正确，正确，书写工整。书写工整。29中考书面表达主要类型中考书面表达主要类型一一 记叙文记叙文(Narration):1.写人 2. 叙事 3.写景 4.状物二二 议论文议论文(Argumentation):1.学习 2. 社会 3. 音乐 4.体育 5.环保 6.时事三说明文三说明文(Exposition)：1.地点说明 2.方式方法说明 3.事物说明四四 应用文应用文(Practical Writing)：1.书信 2.日记 3.通知 4.便条 5.贺卡五五 材料作文：材料作文：1.情景提示作文 2.看图写话 3.表格提示类作文30注意时态和人称注意时态和人称写人写人叙事叙事议论议论一般现在时一般现在时一般过去时一般过去时一般现在时一般现在时31 Writing: How to write excellent articles?

However, when time is gone, itll never come back again. Thats why we mustnt waste time. 512. But there are still a lot of people who dont know the importance of time. They waste their time playing games, getting on line and something else. They dont know that wasting time means wasting part of their own lives.523. We often say, “How time flies!” So even a second is very important sometimes. We must make full use of our time to do anything useful. And in a word, we must save time, and we shouldnt leave todays work till tomorrow. 534. The first and most important thing is that we must put our hearts and minds in our study. We should listen to the teacher carefully in class and try our best to catch what the teacher says. After class we must go over what we have learned and finish our homework in time. If we have any difficulties, we should ask our teachers or classmates until we understand them completely. We must do lots of exercises. 54Write at least 60 words on the following topic: “Time Is Money”Writing practice in Class: （课堂实战演练（课堂实战演练)55Good compositions学生好作文欣赏学生好作文欣赏56 Time is Money When I was young I used to hear the old people always said Time is money, but I didnt know what it meant. Now my father tells me that people in big cities always walk very fast because they have no time to waste. They are busy with their work and they need to earn money to take care of their home.But I dont think so. It seems that everyone has much time. They like to do such things as playing games, listening to music and sleeping for a long time. But they dont know they57sometimes waste their time. In fact, time flies very fast and everyone has no time to waste. As a Grade Nine student, I have to meet the entrance exam soon so I must try my best to get ready for it. To sum up, time is money for me and for everyone, as well. We must all treasure time.58Time is MoneyI know a famous saying Time is money. I agree on it, and I even think that time is more valuable than money. If we lose our money, we can earn it back. But if we waste our time, we will find no way to get it again. Because of this, we should save as much time as possible. We should use time to do things that are meaningful. Try to be efficient, try to save time, and you will live a more substantial life.59 Time Is Money Time is not only invisible but also untouchable. However, we can feel that it is passing every day. Nowadays, almost every family has one or more clocks. Each sound of them means one second has passed. One second is so short that we can only blink our eyes one time. But how about hundreds of seconds, thousands of seconds and millions of seconds? Time never stops. So we must not waste it. People spend time in different ways. As a middle school student, I should spend most of my time in studying now. To sum up, time is precious as money, we should all treasure it. ( 117 words)60 Time Is Money Para.1：Time is precious. It runs away in the blink of an eye by accident.We are going to face the graduation examination, and time seems to be limited to us. We ought to do homework; we need to do plenty of exercises so that we can do better in exams. And like other teenagers, we want to play. How to save time? Its a question in everyones heart. 61Para.2: To my mind, in order to make the best use of time, we should work as fast as we can. Youll miss everything if you waste time. However, on the contrary, if you work hard from beginning to end, youll get everything you want. In short, time is generous, but it is also cruel.Para.3: We all think we are just fifteen years old, and we still have a great deal of time to waste. In reality, time is a naughty boy, and it will play tricks on you if you dont take care of him. Time flies so fast that we cant realize that we are growing up. Maybe one day, when62we become too old to walk, we may only look at the azure sky and think of the glory days we used to have, such as this English lesson, and say “Oh, I was having an English lesson given by Mr. Zhu this time yesterday, I didnt listen to him carefully and I cant remember what he saidThat is awful, in fact. Para.4: In a word, time is money and nothing is more precious than it. 63Thank you64 My Free Time As a Grade Nine student, I dont have as much free time as before. I have to attend classes at weekends. Although my life is full of work, I still feel happy. I usually play basketball and tennis when I am free. They are my favorite sports. In my opinion, playing ball games is thought of as a good form of exercise. These activities enable me to calm myself down, so that I can do better in studying and working. Reading is also my hobby. I often read books which are written in English such as “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”、“Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes” and so on. They are worth reading because the plots are wonderful and unforgettable. It is also an opportunity for me to improve my English. Dont take for granted that all we can do in free time is to play. Believe it or not, we can also benefit from that. -65 The Life as A Grade 9 Student How time flies! Now Im a grade nine student. Actually I feel the life is quite different from it used to be. Now Im as busy as a bee. Theres a lot of homework, exams and quizzes. The only feeling I have now is : The life as a Grade Nine student is very busy and challenging ! ! Theres an old saying: He who fails to plan plans to fail. I dont want to fail, so I create a plan for the whole year : Since nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it, I will change my attitude towards maths and physics which I am poor at now. Ill spend the following six months efficiently. Ill try my best to benefit from what teachers will teach us in class. As theres no elevator to success, Ill do everything step by step! ! I believe that Ican do66 The life as a Grade Nine student My life in Grade Nine is busy but colourful. During the last five months I have been through so many things such basketball games and different contests that I hardly have the chance to take a day off, but it is still great to have this kind of experience.67 I have worked hard for eight years and Ill keep working hard in order to have a bright future. The plan I have for the whole year is to work harder than before and study more efficiently. Time goes by quickly and the following six months is very important to me in my whole life. No pains, no gains. I will not waste a single minute and do the best I can to make great progress.68Writing practice: （课堂实战演练（课堂实战演练)69个人观点供参考，欢迎讨论
