对我来说很有用的:
·
Consciously stop the non-productive comments(没用的思路) running through your head by replacing them with productive ones.
- -Follow a protocol you may have for organizing your time. Use a favorite pen if you have one.
(回忆模板,摸摸自己的幸运物)
嘿嘿~其实还有考前一定要上好厕所~o(∩_∩)o…
【Fundamental Course of Writtng】基础写作每日一讲(3)Writer's Block我出现过的症状以及如何对症下药:
Symptom
You have attempted to begin a paper without doing any preliminary work such as brainstorming or outlining...
Possible Cures
·
Use invention strategies suggested by a tutor or teacher
·
Write down all the primary ideas you'd like to express and then fill in each with the smaller ideas that make up each primary idea. This can easily be converted into an outline
Symptom
You don't want to spend time writing or don't understand the assignment...
Possible Cures
·
Resign yourself to the fact that you have to write
·
Find out what is expected of you (consult a teacher, textbook, student, tutor, or project coordinator)
·
Look at some of the strategies for writing anxiety listed below
Symptom
You're self-conscious about your writing, you may have trouble getting started. So, if you're preoccupied with the idea that you have to write about a subject and feel you probably won't express yourself well...
Possible Cures
·
Talk over the subject with a friend or tutor.
·
assure yourself that the first draft doesn't have to be a work of genius, it is something to work with.
·
Force yourself to write down something, however poorly worded, that approximates your thought (you can revise this later) and go on with the next idea.
·
Break the task up into steps. Meet the general purpose first, and then flesh out the more specific aspects later.
·
Try one of the strategies on the next page of this resource.
Begin in the MiddleStart writing at whatever point you like. 记得很早以前看过imong淘的一篇写历史学家都是讲故事的人那篇issue的文章~经典啊经典~那篇就是开头几段都谈的貌似与主题无关,看到后面才知前面的铺垫真是巧妙~很长一段时间我也想写出那样的文章,但是自己的积淀实在没达到那个程度所以都宣告失败了~这一次,再试试!
Talk Out the PaperTalking feels less artificial than writing to some people. “ETS喜欢说真话的。”这是我一个学姐在有了AW 3分的惨痛经历后送给我的至理名言。其实这次准备AW的过程我要的不仅仅是一个4.5分或者更高的成绩,更重要的是让自己真正摒弃模板,达到之前都未曾达到的一种写作的境界,很自然的抒发对一个topic的感悟,用真正的critical thinking&logical analysis~
Tape the PaperTalk into a tape recorder, imagining your audience sitting in front of you. 哈,这点操作起来好像不太靠谱~
Change the AudiencePretend that you're writing to a child, to a close friend, to a parent, to a person who sharply disagrees with you, or to someone who's new to the subject and needs to have you explain your paper's topic slowly and clearly.恩,这蛮实用的~
Play a RolePretend you are someone else writing the paper.可以增加写作快感的说~^_^
其实归根结底是在告诉我们:写作是件正经事儿,我们要正视它,并且不要怕它~
【Fundamental Course of Writtng】基础写作每日一讲(4)start to write
不得不说之前写作我还真的是按照那老的套路来的,果然人云亦云的东西不一定就是好东西~
那么,从以后的文章开始,深入贯彻新思想~哈,我已经看到我的英文写作生涯重新起步的火花了~!!
Ask yourself what your purpose is for writing about the subject.
There are many "correct" things to write about for any subject, but you need to narrow down your choices. For example, your topic might be "dorm food." At this point, you and your potential reader are asking the same question, "So what?" Why should you write about this, and why should anyone read it?
Do you want the reader to pity you because of the intolerable food you have to eat there?偏向个人感情
Do you want to analyze large-scale institutional cooking?偏向制作方法
Do you want to compare Purdue's dorm food to that served at Indiana University?做类比
Ask yourself how you are going to achieve this purpose.
How, for example, would you achieve your purpose if you wanted to describe some movie as the best you've ever seen? Would you define for yourself a specific means of doing so? Would your comments on the movie go beyond merely telling the reader that you really liked it?
Start the ideas flowing
Brainstorm. Gather as many good and bad ideas, suggestions, examples, sentences, false starts, etc. as you can. Perhaps some friends can join in. Jot down everything that comes to mind, including material you are sure you will throw out. Be ready to keep adding to the list at odd moments as ideas continue to come to mind.
Talk to your audience, or pretend that you are being interviewed by someone(这种方法对我这种能很快入戏的人还是蛮有效的~哈哈~) -- or by several people, if possible (to give yourself the opportunity of considering a subject from several different points of view). What questions would the other person ask? You might also try to teach the subject to a group or class.
See if you can find a fresh analogy that opens up a new set of ideas. Build your analogy by using the word like. For example, if you are writing about violence on television, is that violence like clowns fighting in a carnival act (that is, we know that no one is really getting hurt)?强!
Take a rest and let it all percolate.
Nutshell your whole idea.
Tell it to someone in three or four sentences.
Diagram your major points somehow.
Make a tree, outline, or whatever helps you to see a schematic representation of what you have. You may discover the need for more material in some places.
Write a first draft.
Then, if possible, put it away.抛开原来的方案的确可以升华思维~ Later, read it aloud or to yourself as if you were someone else. Watch especially for the need to clarify or add more information.
You may find yourself jumping back and forth among these various strategies.
You may find that one works better than another. You may find yourself trying several strategies at once. If so, then you are probably doing something right!
