（1）仿写
   为了便于优等生写作潜能的发挥，教师可以要求学生只模仿体裁，而不局限于模仿运用课文的词汇。以下是一篇模仿lincoln一文而作的夸奖任课教师的学生习作。该学生在文章中运用了许多学过的词组和句型，且叙述简明扼要。
   when mr lou, our maths teacher , was young , he studied very hard and later entered zhe jiang norrmal university. after graduation, he became a teacher. at that time the government called on the teachers in the eastern cities to work in tibet, he made up his mind to go there. during the days in tibet, he devoted himself to teaching. three years later, he returned to his hometown and continued his work. now he often spends his spare time on his studies and is active in carrying out teaching reforms. he is regarded as one of the best teachers in our school.
  (2) 缩写
  高中英语教科书中每个单元的第二课均为一篇阅读文章，且在workbook 中有针对该文的问答题，教师可通过串连式的问答，使学生更好地理解和识记课文内容，并形成写作的技能技巧。下面是一篇根据the necklace 一文缩写的文章。文中的句子基本上由剧本的主要内容构成，有些段落被完全删除，以保证重点突出，前后连贯。
  one day, pierre received an invitation to an  important ball held at the palace. mathilde was very excited about that; at the same time she felt sad because she had no jewellery to wear. she didn't want to lose face, so she went and borrowed a lovely diamond necklace from her good friend jeanne.that night, mathilde and pierre did have a very good time. but on their way home, mathilde suddenly found her necklace gone. she could do nothing but buy a new one to turn it to jeanne. but it was so expensive that they had to spend 10 years working day and night to pay the money off. in fact, the necklace jeanne lent to mathilde wasn't a real diamond one. it was worth 500 francs at the most! what a real pity for mthilde!
  (3) 改写
  以sefc book 1b lesson 102 an interesting life 为例，教师可以让学生将课文改为以第一人称叙述的文章，并提示学生开篇可以这样写：i said to myself,“why did they invite me?”下面是学习sefc book 1b lesson 65 milu deer return to china 后，教师引导学生把一位记者和gary之间的问答作适当补充和修改，串句成篇，改写成的一篇短文。
  four people are planning a bicycle trip from beijing to london. they are peter from china and gary from britain. the trip is about 20000 kilometres and it will take them one and a half years to arrive in london. the purpose of the trip is to collect money for a wild life project ——protecting the milu deer. the milu deer is an important chinese deer, whose number is very small now. they want to give some money to the project so that the number of the milu deer in china can be increased gradually.
  (4) 导写
  引导学生写作有许多形式，其中采用关键词作文和提纲作文的形式较为有效。在整个教学过程中，教师精心选择关键词最为重要，这有助于形成一种循序渐进的阶梯式训练格局。提纲作文是指给出题目和段落提纲的写作方法。段落写作提纲可以采用给出段落主旨名的形式。这样，学生初学写作时减少审题环节，且可引导学生的写作思路。
 （5）评写
  评写是就所学课文或阅读材料进行评论，通过分析原文中的内容和观点，提出自己的看法。评写可以是对原文观点的赞同，也可以提出异议。评写是学生“一半依原文材料，一半发挥”的习作方式。在内容，用词和行文布局上，一部分取自原文，一部分靠学生自己的发挥和创造。
