1、英语写作套路 要写好文章离不开扎实的基础，可是，打好基础并不是一蹴而就的事情，需要长时间 的不懈努力。写作本无捷径可走，但是作为英语写作教学的摸索，尝试着为初写者开辟一 条作文套路捷径。 我们知道，文章的结构掌握着文章的全局。作文的内容固然重要，但它离不开结构的 衬托。没有结构的内容就犹如一盘散沙，令人无所适从。 以下的套路可以帮助初写者理清思路，使文章不至于离题万里。这些套路在教学实践 中证明是可行的但不是完美的。恰当使用这些套路的关键在于灵活运用而不是生搬硬套。 一. 对. . . . . .看法（My View on . . .题型） 公说公有理，婆说婆有理，许多话题永远争论不休。写作考
