初中英语作文提分攻略！人人都能写出满分作文。

英语作文的高分不是靠简单机械的套“模板”，考试前临时背，真正考试的时候会发现主旨关键词不会写、模板套用很生硬等各种各样的问题。写好作文其实很简单，秘诀就两句话：不断仿写、不断背！

方法1，不断写：作文的升级，最有效的方式就是每天仿写1-2句话。这个过程中，你需要做的不是只字不落的记下别人的句子，而是要从别人的句子里看到自己有哪些可以改进的地方。简单的更换单词、短语或句式，既能形成自己的风格，还能考场灵活运用。

方法2，不断背：写作最怕闭门造车，没有素材强行写只会越写越写不出。而且应用文，比如书信是有英文格式规范的，不去了解的话，考试遇到就大脑空白。

另外，为孩子分享一篇【值得仿写的高分作文】：

假如你是李华，是一名初三的学生。你将给你校师生做一个关于垃圾分类的演讲。

Dear teachers and fellow students,

Good morning! It's my great honor to make a speech here. The topic of my speech is about garbage classification.

As we all know, garbage classification can greatly reduce pollution. We usually throw away lots of things that can be used again. That's a waste of resources.

Then as middle school students, what can we do? First, we can collect all our used textbooks and pass them>

As the years go by, the garbage increases as the pollution grows．Scientists suggested that some garbage could be used again．They suggested four ideas to businessmen who could make money by recycling or using paper, glass, tin, and plastic again．

　　Now, a recycling truck comes to each home>

没有孩子不聪明，很多时候“不开窍”，只是没掌握住考试核心。比如：初中英语作文是很有高分“套路”的。如果没有各类作文考法的核心思路，哪怕套用“模板式”作文，写出来也很生硬，难拿高分。

所以，要想写出一篇优质的英语作文，最好的方法是：仿写+背诵。每天只用仿写2句话，先搭建起作文三段话的框架，掌握每段大致要写什么，再积累些高分细节句子，有逻辑有内容的优质完整作文马上就能呈现出来。
