>一：用介词短语替代从句，例：
原句：While they were playing tennis, she started an argument that lasted all morning.
修改后：During tennis she started an argument that lasted all morning.
原句：When you come to the second traffic light, turn right.
修改后：At the second traffic light turn left.
>二：删除诸如"who is”或"that is"之类的关系代词，变从句为短语，例：
句：The novel, which is written in three parts, told a story that took place in the Middle Ages.
修改后：The three-part novel told a story set in the Middle Ages.
注：把句中的"three parts"改用形容词来表达，节省了四个不必要的单词"which is written in"。我们经常可以将关系代词如"that"去掉，这只会引起最少的变动。
>三：剔除你不需要的单词，例：
Two joint partners will present their views over a long-distance telephone call.
写完这样的句子后，你自己再读一遍，挑出单词"joint"和"telephone"，注意删去不必要的词。
>英语写作注意两点
一、先审题，弄清写作要求审题是写好作文的前提，也是书面表达的基础。如果写偏了题，语言表达再好也很难得高分。审题时要注意两个方面：
1.认真地看两遍题目，包括提示，全面了解写作要求。
2.理清思路，确定体裁、框架结构和内容。
二、用英语进行思维英语写作时必须排除汉语思维的干扰。
从现在起应逐渐加大阅读量和听的输入量，将阅读、听力训练与书面表达有机地结合起来。经常体会和领悟作者传递信息和表达思想的方式。在话题讨论和写作中经常运用所学到的表达方式就会有所创造。还要尽量做到“五多”：多看、多听、多思考、多用心体验和感悟身边的人和事、多用英语说和写自己的体验和感受。
