不少同学们可能很不理解：考试时，写出的书面表达要点齐全，表达也正确，可就是不知道为什么打不上高分。是啊，为什么呢？今天，我们就来研究如何解决这个问题。

首先让我们来看近年来全国高考英语书面表达的评分标准：第五档（很好）：“覆盖所有主要内容；应用了较多的语法结构和词汇；语法结构或词汇方面有些许错误，但为尽力使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇所致；应用简单的语句间的连接成分，使全文结构紧凑；达到了预期的写作目的。”

可见，高考书面表达评分标准在语言的运用上对考生提出了更高的要求。也就是说在考查考生语言准确性的基础上，进一步强调了用词的得体性、表达方式的多样性。如果同学们仅运用基础的词汇和基本的句型，不能体现出较强的语言运用能力，即使要点齐全，表达没有语法错误，也不能给人一种含金量高的审美享受，因此很难在考试的评分中得到较高档次。评分标准给我们传递了另外一个信息，如果有意识地使用较高级词汇或复杂结构，即使有些错误，也不扣分，仍属于最高档次。

因此要使一个平淡的文章变得丰富起来，从而提高书面表达的档次。我认为同学们应着力于从以下三个方面来增强书面表达的效果。

⒈学会使用较高级的词汇

词汇反映你知识贮存量的多少，也是衡量英语水平的一个重要标志。从评分标准可知，运用高级的词汇对提高书面表达的分数至关重要。大家先来看下面这些句子：

⑴Because the weather was good, our journey was comfortable.
Thanks to the good weather, our journey was comfortable.

⑵We all think he is a great man.
We all think highly of him.

⑶Suddenly I thought out a good idea. 　…came upon …

⑷The students there needn’t pay for their books.

⑸As a result the plan was a failure.

⑹When she heard he had died, she went pale with sorrow.

⑼In our school, there are twenty–six classrooms.

⑽You can find my house easily.

⒉学会使用较丰富的句式

在整篇文章中，避免只使用一两个句型，要灵活运用各种语法结构，运用得当的句子结构可以给文章增色不少，从而使整篇文章因此而生辉。例如：

⑴When he arrives, please give me an e-mail.（使用V-ing形式）
→On his arriving/ arrival, please give me an e-mail.

⑵To his surprise, the little girl knows so many things.（使用名词性从句）

(That the littler girl knows so many things surprises him.／It surprises him that the littler girl knows so many things .)
