大家好啊，我是Emma，欢迎来到Emma的美味英语。

在本节课程中，我有很多非常实用的技巧，可以帮助大家提升英语写作能力，敬请期待吧！

. . . . . . Before go anywhere in this lesson，let's just all agree that the skill of writing in English is an incredibly valuable one to have at any level.

在课程正式开始之前呢，要说的是我们都一致认为英语写作技能不管在什么水平都无比有价值。

我们可以用语言来说服别人，让别人信服我们，也能让别人感到快乐愉悦。

With our words we can persuade people，we can convince people and we can entertain people.

method是写作的方法，手法，skill指整体的写作技能、水准

Being able to write well，it really is a superpower，whether you&39;m going to focus on your English writing skills today，but you can apply the tips that I teach in this lesson to any language that you're learning and even your own native language.

能写的一手好文章真的是一种超能力，不管你使用母语写，还是用英语写，还是用其他任何的语言写，但是作为大家的英语老师，今天我会侧重于大家的英文写作能力，但是你可以将我在这节课程中说到的技巧应用到你在学习的其他语言，甚至是你自己的母语。

我现在呢，要插播一条非常重要的小广告。

I'm going to spin right on in here with a super important announcement for you.

If you&39;m a big fan of Lingoda.

Not only because they make it possible for me to keep bringing you free English lessons right here on my Youtube channel but more importantly because they support you in improving your English.

Lingoda provide online language classes that you can take twenty-four hours a day，wherever you are in the world.

Lingoda提供在线的语言课程，大家每天24小时随时可以参加，不管你在世界的什么地方。

And right now the biggest opportunity of the year to improve your English skills as fast as possible is right here in front of you，the Lingoda Language Marathon.

Guys，this is your chance to leap forward in your English learning journey and get massive results in just three months. Doing the marathon is a challenge，it won't be easy.

马拉松是个挑战，其实并不简单的。你必须在九十天的时间内全心全意地参加九十节课程。

You'll commit to taking up to ninety classes in ninety days. I know，right?

我懂得，对吗？课程量确实很大，但是想一下，有了这种的锻炼，你的英语水平将会在仅仅三个月的时间内更上一层楼。

That&39;re going to advance your English to a whole new level in just three months. And as a reward for all of that effort and dedication，if you complete the full marathon，Lingoda are going to give you one hundred percent of your class fees back.

作为大家努力和认真的回报，如果你完成了全程马拉松的话，Lingoda将会给大家全额退款。

这真的超级棒，而且非常受欢迎，在过去的两年中已经有一万多人报名参加了。

This event is so awesome and so popular that more than ten thousand people have already joined in the last two years. And for many of them，it has completely transformed their lives，helping them to get a new job or even study in another country.

对于其中的很多人来说，它彻头彻尾地改变了他们的生活，帮助他们找到了新的工作，甚至是在另一个国家学习。

那都是他们曾经认为完全不可能的事情，或者是至少要很多年的学习才能完成的事情。

Things that they once thought were completely impossible or at least would take years of study. You can find loads of their stories on Lingoda's Instagram page.

大家可以在Lingoda的ins页面找到很多这样的故事。

事实上，大家也可以关注他们ins主页上我的故事哦，因为朋友们，我也在参加马拉松呢！

In fact，keep your eyes open for my story on their Instagram page too because guys，I'm doing the marathon as well!

And I&39;ve created a private Facebook group just for mmmEnglish students who are also doing the marathon so that we can do it together and help each other get through.

这个想法真的令我十分激动，我甚至都创建了一个专为美味英语学生的私人脸书小组，大家也都在参加马拉松，这样我们就可以一起学习，互帮互助。

我每天都会在里面倾听大家的故事，帮助大家保持斗志，但我也想让大家帮助我保持充足的斗志。

I'll be in there every day to hear your stories and help you to stay motivated but I want you to help me stay motivated too. I really want to push my Spanish skills to the next level this year.

我真的很想在今年内让我的西班牙语水平更上一层楼。所以你敢加入马拉松吗？

So do you dare to join me for the marathon? Check out this video right here for full details on how it works and how to register.

欲知更多关于到底是怎么一回事以及如何注册的细节，那就点击旁边的这个视频吧。大家也可以在下方的描述区找到那些细节。

You can also find those details in the description below. But make sure you hurry，registrations are closing very soon.

但是一定要快一点哦，报名很快就要截止了。起跑线处见。

I&39;re sitting an exam.

如果你要参加考试的话，英语写作技能显而易见是非常重要的。

你在为了像IELTS或者是TOFEL这种考试学习英语吗？

Are you studying English for an exam like IELTS or TOEFL? They have written sections in their exam，right?

这些考试有写作部分，对吧？写作技巧在这些考试中非常重要，但是现在让我们的目光看得更远一些。

So writing skills are important for exams but let&39;re looking for a job.

能用英语进行流利地写作在你找工作的时候也能让你脱颖而出。当你提交简历的时候，你的写作是你未来的老板会看到的第一印象，对吧？

Your writing is the first thing that your future employer sees about you when you submit your resume，right?

And you write a cover letter，your well-written professional emails that you send it in will display the English skills that your employer is looking for.

当你写求职信的时候，你写得非常出色的、十分专业的邮件会展示你的老板所寻找的英语技能。对于那些想要出国学习的朋友，可能你们需要用英语写申请信。

For those of you who plan to study abroad，maybe you have to write your application in English.

Many scholarships or competitions that you might want to enter will ask you to write a creative essay when you apply or at least answer some open-ended questions in English.

在申请的时候，很多大家想要争取的奖学金或者竞赛会要求写创意习作，至少是用英语回答一些开放性问题。我的意思是，上面提到的这些有大家现在目前正在应对的吗？

I mean do any of these things sound like something you're dealing with at the moment? Which one is something that makes you worry about your English writing skills?

写作技巧的英语是 writing skill 如果能帮到你，麻烦亲的鼠标移过去帮忙点一下好评哦~~谢谢！

哪一个会让你担心你的英语水平？即使上述没有一个适用于你，练习写作技巧也是提升英语水平的非常十拿九稳的方式。

And even if none of these things specifically apply to you，practising your writing skills is a surefire way to improve your English level.

So I hope that you&39;s what we're going to do right now.

1) Use writing exercises to improve your skills, increase your talent, and explore different genres, styles, and techniques.2) Now, without further delay, the 34 writing tips that will make you a 。 not。

所以我希望大家准备好了参加今天的迷你写作工作坊，因为我们现在马上就要开始了。我准备了一些技巧帮助大家提升写作水平，首先就是从小处着手。

I&39;t need to write a novel every time you practise.

大家不需要每次在练习的时候都写一部小说。要写一些每天都可以坚持做的。

This needs to be something that you can achieve every day. So keep things simple and start small.

所以简单点，从小处着手。为什么？因为我想让大家将英语写作练习融入每天的生活。

Why? Because I want you to bring your English writing practice into your day every day.

Now if that sounds daunting or boring，well，I bet you actually do it more than you think already.

如果那听起来有点点吓人，或者是有点无聊，那我敢说你做的肯定本就比你想的要多很多。

在你给朋友发短信的时候，在你给工作发邮件的时候，或者是在ins上写评论的时候。

Between the text messages that you write to friends or emails that you send to colleagues at work or comments that you write on Instagram.

You probably spend more time writing in English each day than you realise.

你可能比你意识到的花了更多时间用英语进行写作。是的，这些都可以算作写作的形式。

And yes all of these things do actually count as forms of writing. Writing doesn't mean that you sit down and write ten pages or even one page.

写作并不一定指的是坐下来写十页纸，甚至只是一页纸。我想说的是，大家的英语写作练习可以是任何形式。

大家可以每天用英语发一条脸书推送。给自己设立一个挑战，或者是在工作日的结束，花上十分钟的时间将一封你已经写好的邮件翻译成英语。

Set yourself a challenge or at the end of a work day，just hang around for an extra ten minutes to translate one of the emails that you&39;t really matter.

不管你是不是真的把它发给任何人，不要紧的。

你可能已经在用英语给朋友发WhatsApp消息，对吧？

You&39;re not，maybe you should.

如果你没有的话，你应该写一下了。

但我也想给大家介绍日记这种方式，因为这是进行每日练习的非常棒的方式。

But I also want to introduce the idea of a daily journal to you because this can be a really fantastic way to get daily practice.

Just write down what you're grateful for or something new that you learned that day or even just write about what you did，report about what you did.

写下你感激的事情，或者是你学到的新东西，甚至可以就记一下你做了什么事情的流水账。

其他人都不用读。

No one else ever has to read it ever. It&39;s just for you.

这也不需要出版啊发布啊，这就是专门给自己的。

不要低估每天写短短几句话的力量。这是可以养成的非常棒的习惯。

Don&39;s an excellent habit to get into. Tip number two.

第二个小窍门。准确非常重要。

Accuracy is important. Now in some areas of English like listening or speaking，you can get away with a little less accuracy but writing is not really like this.

在英语的某些方面，比如说听力或者是口语啊，不那么准确其实并不是什么非常严重的问题，但是写作可不是这样。

我觉得那可能是写作最令人望而却步的一部分。

And I think that&39;s recorded in history.

一旦你把话写在纸上，那就铭刻在历史中了。

每个人都可以看到你做了什么，对吗？

Everyone can see what you've done，right? Especially if you post it on social media.

尤其是如果你在社交媒体发布了的话。

大家可以在上面评价你，因为你的错误显而易见，所以你的语法选择和词汇选择非常重要。

It's where everyone can judge you because your mistakes are very visible so your grammar choice and your word choices are really important.

Now finding someone to review what you've written and show you how you can improve it is obviously really helpful.

找个人帮你看看你写的东西，帮你找你可以如何进行提升很显然是非常有益的。

那可以成为你学习经历的一部分。

And that can be part of your learning experience. It&39;s about you learning how to correct your work and understand the mistakes that you&39;t do it again.

不仅仅是去掉错误，更重要的是学习如何修改自己写的东西，理解你犯的错误，这样以后就不会再犯了。如果可以的话，可以参加由写作专家或者是老师指导的线上课程，这会是非常棒的一步，如果你可以做到的话。

So if you can，taking an online course or working with a writing expert or a teacher would be a really awesome step，if you can possibly do it.

I&39;re looking for some expert help，I would suggest you start down there.

我分享过我最喜欢的几个课程和老师的链接，就在这个视频的评论处，如果大家也在寻找一些专家的帮助的话，我会建议大家从这里开始。

但是如果那不在你的选择范围之内的话，那你必须花时间自己来检查自己的写作。

But if that&39;ve made.

质疑一下你的语法和词汇选择。做一些研究，尝试并确认你所做出的选择。

And do some research to try and confirm the choices that you've made. This lesson right here is a useful one to help you check for the ten most common mistakes that English learners make.

这节课非常有用，可以帮助大家检查一下英语学习者十个最常见的错误。它会给提供大家一些有用的工具，帮助大家给自己的写作纠错。

It's going to give you some useful tools to help you make corrections in your own writing. Tip number three.

第三个小窍门。阅读。

Read. Why would I tell you to read in a video about becoming a better writer?

为什么我要在关于变成一个更好的写作者的视频中告诉大家要去阅读呢？因为阅读是适应不同的写作结构和格式的最好方式之一，能用在自己的写作当中。

Because reading is one of the best ways to get used to different writing structures and formats that you can then use in your own writing. So pay attention to other writers.

所以要关注其他的作者。他们在自己的语言中使用怎样的语调？

What kind of tone do they use in their language? How do they structure their writing?

他们如何架构自己的写作？注意一下他们选择的词汇。

Notice the vocabulary that they've chosen. Is it quite formal or is it informal in that type of writing?

那种写作是正式的还是非正式的呢？大家甚至可以通过模仿你们喜欢的作者或者博主进行练习。注意哦，我说的是模仿，不是复制。

You could even practise imitating your favourite writers or bloggers. Careful，I said imitate not copy. You need to use your own words and ideas，right?

你们需要使用自己的词汇和想法，对吧？尽管使用另外的写作作为结构指导来帮助大家，但是大家还是可以写自己的东西。

But there is nothing stopping you from writing your own material while using another piece of writing as a structural guide to help you. Reading can definitely help you to improve your writing.

阅读绝对能够帮助大家提升写作水平。所以如果你有机会的话，我希望大家看一下这个视频，这是专门讲如何提升阅读技能的。

So when you get a chance，then I want you to check out this video here that's specifically about how to improve your reading skills. Tip number four and one of my favourite tips of all time is learn to pre-write.

第四点也是我一直最喜欢的一点，那就是要学会预写。我现在需要在油管公开承认一点事情。

Now I'm going to admit something openly here on Youtube. I pre-write all of my birthday cards and my post cards.

我所有的生日贺卡和明信片都会预先写一遍。是的。我就是那样的人。

It&39;s not just me，right?

还有其他人会这么做吗？肯定不止我一个人，对吧？我这样做是因为我想要确保卡片上有足够的空间写我想说的话。

I do this because I want to make sure that I&39;s me.

我也想认真考虑从一下我使用的词汇，这样我的信息就会更加准确。可能有点点过了，可能有点点完美主义，但那就是我。当你开始自己的每日写作训练的时候，这是个很好的可以养成的习惯。

This is a good habit to get into when you&39;s one of the best things about writing.

这是写作最好的事情之一。你会花时间来思考自己想说什么，然后计划出来。

You get time to think about what you want to say and plan it out. And this preparation is what's going to help you improve the quality of your writing overall.

这种准备工作能够帮助大家提升总体的写作质量。如果大家从那家那种有写作部分的考试的话，这个技能非常重要，所以如果你需要写比较长的东西，比如说论文啊，或者是报告啊等等的，这个技能一定要培养。

The skill is especially important to develop if you are taking a test that has a writing section so if you need to write anything long like an essay or a report or something like that，this is a super skill to develop. And there's lots of different ways that you can plan.

这里用很多不同的方式大家可以进行规划。大家可以完成一个大纲。

You might complete an outline. Or if that feels a little rigid，then maybe a mind map or a web，vocabulary web.

或者是如果那感觉有点点严格的话，可以画一个思维导图或者是网络，词汇网络。可能你只是想要写下一些你想要囊括进去的重要的词汇或者是想法。

Maybe you just want to write down a list of important vocabulary words or thoughts that you'd like to include. And no matter what you do，just spend a few minutes thinking and planning about that before you jump into writing.

不管你做什么，在开始正式写作之前，花几分钟思考，进行总体的规划。你的写作结构可以更加严谨，你不会忘记说重要的事情，更好的是，你后面不需要再做很多的编辑工作。

Your writing will be more organised，you won&39;t have as much editing to do later on. So it's a good idea.

真的是个好主意呢。第五点。

Number five. Think in the language that you're writing in.

用你写作的语言进行思考。如果你用英语进行写作的话，那就用英语进行思考和计划，不要用自己的母语。

So if you&39;t translate well from one language to another.

有很多语法结构和词汇并不能很好的从一种语言翻译到另外一种语言。比如说在西班牙语中，不管这个句子是问句还是陈述句，动词都不会改变。

So for example in Spanish，verbs don&39;re thinking in your own language first，then trying to translate，you're much more likely to end up making mistakes or errors.

但是在英语中那些句子的结构非常不同，所以如果你刚开始的时候是用自己的语言进行思考的话，然后再去翻译，你很有可能会犯错。所以试着转换自己的思维吧。

So try to switch your brain over. Think of each word or phrase that you want to write in English.

用英语来思考你想写的每个单词或者是短语。这部分并不简单，对吧？

This part is not easy，right? It takes practise but the more you practise，the more you do it，the easier it will become so it's really good training for you.

这需要练习，但是你练习的越多，你做的越多，这就会变得更加容易，所以这对大家而言是非常好的训练。犯错。

Make mistakes. And be cool with it.

淡定一点。如果你执着于第一次就写得非常完美，那你肯定走不太远。除此之外，错误是在未来进行学习和提升的绝佳方式。

If you get caught up trying to write perfectly on your first try，you&39;s not set in stone.

写作的美妙之处就在于它不是板上钉钉的。这并不是你说出了什么东西，大家都听到了，你也不能把那句话收回，是吧？

It&39;t take that sentence back，right? Take advantage of the fact that you can write it，you can read it again，check it，erase it，edit it and rewrite it.

要好好利用这个事实，那就是你可以写，可以再读一遍，检查，擦掉，进行编辑，甚至是完全重写。如果你不确定确切的措辞或者是语法规则的话，那就去查吧！

Now if you aren't sure of the exact phrasing or grammar rule，investigate! There are so many options to help you correct your mistakes.

有很多选择可以帮助大家纠正错误。当然，你可以询问老师或者是母语者。

Obviously，you can ask a teacher or a native speaker. If you can.

如果可以的话。你也可以让朋友读读你的作品，给你一些建议，但是如果你是自己一个人的话，或者是你对分享自己的写作感觉有点点害羞或者是紧张的话，那就可以使用Grammarly或者是相似的工具。

You could also ask a friend to read your writing and give you some advice but if you&39;re feeling a little shy or a little nervous about sharing your writing，then use Grammarly or a tool like it. Now I use Grammarly all the time，I use it for everything that I write online.

我一直都使用Grammarly，我在网上写的东西都会用它检查。这是个超棒的工具，可以帮助大家看到你犯的错误，并且会给你改进的建议。

It&39;s going to help you see the errors that you&39;m talking about spelling errors but also grammatical errors as well，which is why this tool is so useful for you.

我说的是不仅仅是拼写错误，还有语法错误，这是为什么这个工具对大家而言非常有用的原因。如果你想试一下的话，看看到底是什么样的，可以通过描述区的链接免费试一下。

If you want to try it out，see what it&39;t always right，but they do offer you some great tools for practising when you're doing it on your own，right?

当然，电脑不总是对的，但是当你自己进行练习的时候，它们能够提供给你非常有用的工具。不要害怕犯错，你犯的错误越多，你就有更多的机会提升自己的写作。

So don&39;ve got to get into.

这是大家需要建立的一种思维。这就涉及到我们今天的最后一点：寻找写作伙伴。

And this brings us to our final tip of the day: to find a writing partner. Now this may be my last tip but it's my favourite tip.

这可能是最后一个技巧，但是却是我最喜欢的技巧。如果你什么都不做的话，如果你到目前为止都没有听我说了什么的话，那一定要注意这一条，因为找到一个写作搭档可能是为了提升写作水平你所能做的最佳选择了。

If you don&39;t listened to anything that I&39;t a teacher.

写作搭档并不是老师。他们也并不只是给你看看你的阅读的朋友。

And they're not just a friend who reads your writing for you. Your writing partner should be someone who is also trying to improve their writing.

你的写作搭档应该是也想要提升自己的写作的人。你可以进行分享，可以依靠的人。

Someone who you can share with and rely on. Now it's really simple.

这其实非常简单。你们都一致同意写点什么东西。

You both agree to each write something. You can decide on a specific topic or a specific length or just leave it open but choose a date to finish the writing.

你们可以确定一个特定的主题或者是特定的长度，或者是开放性一点，但是要确定一个完成写作的日期。然后进行交换。

Then exchange. Notice what you like about each other's writing and make sure you share that but then also help each other to find and correct mistakes.

发现你们喜欢对方写作的哪些方面，确保你们要进行分享，但是也要帮助对方找到错误并进行改正。有很多原因为什么这是个需要养成的很好的习惯。

Now there&39;s going to force you to stick to a schedule，you'll be more likely to follow through with your writing practice if you know that someone is there waiting for you to swap and exchange right?

拥有一个写作搭档能够让你一直保持在正轨，这能够强迫你坚持你们的计划表，你更有可能坚持你的写作计划，如果你知道有人等着和你交换的话，对吧？和另一个人一起努力，这个人的水平和你差不多，好像让在写作中冒险和犯错看起来没那么可怕了。

写作技巧英语如下：首先，审题，条理清楚 保证不跑提示写作当中第一任务，第二个重要任务就是要做到条理清楚。对于议论文来说，正反面要清楚，对于说明文来说条理要清楚，对于描述文来说，谁干什么要清楚。写主题句 主题句是。

Now working with someone else，who&39;re not going to judge you for making mistakes because they've probably made mistakes in their own writing too and the purpose is to find them and help each other.

他们并不会因为你犯错而评判你，因为他们自己的写作中也可能犯错，而且大家的目的是要寻找到那些错误，然后帮助对方。最终，修正另一个人的作品，或者是至少试着改正一些错误是超棒的练习自己英语技能的方式，对吗？想一想吧。

And finally，correcting someone else&39;ve got to read their writing and then think about are those grammar rules correct?

Maybe you have to research to find out if that collocation works or not. Teaching someone what you know yourself is a really good way to help you improve.

教别人你会的东西是帮助自己提升的好方式。你可以和一个与你水平差不多的人一起。

So you could do this with a friend who's at a similar level to you. You could also use the comments under this video to try and find a writing partner.

你也可以利用这个视频下面的评论来找写作搭档。如果玩点不一样的花样的话，网上有很多笔友交换，大家可以给正在学习你的母语的人写东西，这样你就可以分享并且交换你的写作，让大家帮你进行修正完善。

And for something a little different，there are loads of pen pal exchanges online where you could write to someone who&39;ve left a couple of links in the description as well if you're interested in checking out some of those options to find a writing partner.

如果大家对找写作搭档的选择感兴趣，想要试一下的话，我在描述区留下了一些链接呢。那作为大家的第一个写作任务，也是第一个写作家庭作业，我想让大家在评论区告诉我，哪个窍门对你而言最有用，你这周要怎么进行实践呢？

So for your first writing task，your first writing homework task，I want you to tell me in the comments，which tip was most useful for you and how are you going to put it into practice this week? That's what I love to do here on my Youtube channel，get you excited about practising English because with practise comes confidence and with confidence comes fluency.

So make sure you subscribe to my channel if you haven't already just there.

I make new English lessons every week about grammar，pronunciation，language skills and a little motivation to keep you feeling good about your English and all of the progress that you're making.

我每周都会发布关于语法、发音、语言技巧的课程，还会有一些激励来让大家对自己的英语水平以及自己取得的进步拥有良好的感觉。

记住，写作要从小处着手。

So remember，with writing，start small. And what are you waiting for?

I'll see you in the next lesson!

还等什么呢？下节课见！
