一、注意詞匯表達的變通性
在寫作中，要適當地選擇一些個性張揚、語意豐富、標新立異的詞匯。即使用“較高級詞匯”(主要是指使用《大綱》上沒有的詞語)、通過構詞變化來的新詞、同(近)義詞或反義詞等來代替常見的詞語。
如：我們學校位于市中心。
A: Our school is/lies in the center of the city.
B: Our school situates in/is situated in/is locat?鄄ed in the center of the city.
分析：is in/lies in是常見表達，而situates in/is situated in/is located in則是《大綱》上沒有的，屬于高級詞匯。
二、注意句型結構多樣化
1. 使用與別人不同的表達方式，特別是打破漢語句子結構的束縛而重組的句子。
如：這個地區曾發生過一次大地震。
A: There was a strong earthquake in this area.
B: A terrible earthquake hit/struck this area.
分析：大多數同學喜歡使用there be句型結構，但B句卻使用了“主+謂+賓”的句式，且使用了terrible，hit/strike等詞匯，使讀者讀后感到與眾不同。
2. 改變句子的語序，實現句子結構多樣化。
英語句子的結構順序一般都是“主+謂+賓+狀”。但要使文章顯得生動活潑，整個句子讀起來跌宕起伏，就可以把一些成分(如狀語等)提前于句首，增強書面表達的表現力。
如：她早早起床去趕車。
A: She got up very early to catch the bus.
B: To catch the bus，she got up very early.
3. 使用一些強勢句式，如強調句、感嘆句、省略句、主從復合句、短語結構等增加語句的表現力。
如：阿福救了我妹妹。(NMET 1993)
A: AhFu saved my sister.(一般句)
B: It was AhFu that saved my sister.(強調句)
4. 句式多樣，復雜得體。
在寫作中應盡量避免使用同等長度的相同句型，而應注意句式的變化，使長短句相結合，簡單句、并列句與復合句共用，還可使用簡化句等，做到錯落有致，參差和諧，富有音韻美、節律美。一些較復雜的結構如獨立主格結構及分詞結構也可以使用。
如：這是一套25平方米的住房，住房里面有臥室、洗澡間、廚房;臥室里有床、沙發、桌子和椅子等。(NMET2003)
A: It’s a flat of 25 square meters. There is a bedroom in the flat. There is a bathroom and a kitchen in it，too. In the bedroom，there is a bed;There is a sofa, a desk and a chair as well.
B: It’s a flat of 25 square meters，with a bed?鄄room，a bathroom and a kitchen. In the bedroom there is a bed, a sofa, a desk and a chair.
三、注意文章的連貫性
借用中文文言翻譯的“信”“達”“雅”來說，書面表達不同于逐句翻譯，如果文章只是將提示進行簡單翻譯，而不考慮文章前后的連貫性，它依然不是一篇好文章。因此，在準確表達的基礎上還要講求通順流暢，富有美感。所以需要適當增加細節，使用一些連接詞或過渡詞，使文章更加充實、美觀。下面是一些常用的過渡性詞語：
?、俨⒘嘘P系：and, as well as, also...
②遞進關系：besides， in addition, moreover, what’s more...
?、坜D折關系：but, yet, however, although, oth?鄄erwise, or, in spite of, despite, instead of, in the end...
?、軙r間順序：while, when, soon, after, before, afterward, finally, first, then, as soon as...
?、荼容^或對比：like, unlike, on the contrary, on the other hand...
?、蘅偨Y：in a word, in general, in short, above all, after wall，generally speaking...
?、哌M一步闡述：in other words, that is to say, for example, for instance, such as...
?、嘁蚬P系：as a result, thus, therefore, so, because, as...
下面我們以一篇書面表達為例：
說明：某國一代表團來你校訪問。假如你是學生會主席，請用英語準備一篇發言稿，將學校情況向外賓作一介紹。
1. 學校概況：位于市中心，教師300人，學生約4000人。
2. 開設課程：語、數、英等十多門課，學校自己編寫的《學會生存》(Learning to Live)深受學生喜愛。
3. 學校設施：配有現代化理化生實驗室，辦公室和教室可隨時上網(surf the Internet);學生閱覽室和圖書館每天開放。
4. 其他：每學期學校至少開一次運動會。
注意：開頭已寫好，請接著往下寫;詞數100左右。
Ladies and gentlemen，
I’m very glad to have the honor...
書面表達范文：
Ladies and gentlemen：
I’m very glad to have the honor to introduce our school to you.
Our school is located in the center of our city, with more than 300 teachers and 4000 students, over ten subjects such as Chinese, Maths and English are taught in our school. And“Learning to Live”, which has been written by our school, is most popular among us students. The school owns modern physics, chemistry and biology labs. You can surf the Internet in any office and classroom any time you like and a reading room as well as a library is open for us students every day. The sport meeting is held once every term at least. Our school is excellent. I hope you’ll have a good time here.
That’s all. Thank you.
評析：本文屬發言稿一類的書面表達，是高考?？夹问街?。范文要點全面，結構層次分明，連貫性強，在語言的使用上用了be located in，as well as, and,which, such as, be popular among sb.，have a good time等詞和短語，堪稱“亮點”。使用了多種復雜句式，如which引導非限制性定語從句，any time(that)引導狀語從句，I hope that賓語從句等，長短句結合。
總之，要想使自己的文章有亮點，吸引讀者，在考試中獲得高分，就應在用詞、造句或文章的連貫性上下功夫，哪怕是有一處特長都是文章的“亮”點，都是值得肯定的。
