要想成為一位寫作高手,清楚寫作步驟是非常重要的。不論你在寫一封商務(wù)信函,給朋友發(fā)電子郵件或是寫一篇?dú)v史課文章…… 寫作都有規(guī)律可循,如果遵循這些規(guī)律,你寫作起來將會(huì)更加得心應(yīng)手,寫的內(nèi)容也會(huì)輕松易讀。下面列出這些寫作步驟:
Steps 步驟
1. Choose a topic. 選題
2. Gather information. 收集信息
3. Record notes that are relevant to your topic. 將與主題相關(guān)的內(nèi)容作好筆記
4. Construct sentences from your notes. 用筆記的內(nèi)容來構(gòu)造句子
5. Disregard irrelevant sentences. 除掉無關(guān)的句子
6. Arrange sentences in logical order. 按照邏輯順序排列句子
7. Write sentences in paragraph format. 將句子整理成段落
8. Check for errors and rewrite. 檢查錯(cuò)誤,重新寫一次
9. Check again for errors and rewrite again. 再次檢查錯(cuò)誤和寫一次
10. Turn in or send your document 現(xiàn)在可以上交你的作品了
Let's examine each step more closely and see if we can discard any of the steps.
下面讓我們?cè)僮屑?xì)檢查一下這些步驟,看是否可以再剔除一些。
1. Choosing a topic. This step is needed regardless of what type of writing you intend to do. Even if you are just sending an email to a friend, there is a reason for sending the message. This reason is the topic of your email.
選題。無論你打算寫什么,這都是一個(gè)必備步驟。即使你僅僅是給朋友發(fā)一封電子郵件,也必須寫得有條有理。這就是郵件的主題。
2. Gather information. In this step you find and collect all the information that you believe you will need to complete the writing you plan to do. In certain types of writing, such as a letter to a friend, this step may take place unconsciously. In other types of writing, such as an essay for a class, this step requires time spent doing research.
收集信息。在這一步驟中,收集到所有你認(rèn)為完成寫作所需要的信息。在一些類型的寫作中,如給朋友的書信中,這一步驟通常是下意識(shí)中完成的。在其它類型的寫作中,如課業(yè)文章中,這個(gè)步驟需要花時(shí)間作研究收集材料。
