内容提要：一篇优秀的高分作文应该内容丰富，形象丰满；词语生动、句式灵活、善于运用修辞手法，语句地道；有见解，观点表达清晰，有独到之处。
3. 要善于运用习语
习语是语言的精华部分，习语用得好，会给评卷员留下深刻印象。例如：
When she was a child，she wanted to learn everything.( 普通)
When she was a child，she had a strong appetite for knowledge.(高级)
He can’t give up smoking. ( 普通)
He is addicted to smoking. (高级)
He was very busy with his work all day. (普通)
He was tied up with his work. ( 高级)
4. 要避免汉语思维
用词要符合英语习惯，避免汉语思维的影响，如某些名词和动词搭配已约定俗成，不能随意打乱其搭配习惯，否则会显得生硬和词不达意。如汉语中的“学到知识”，英语中就不能说“learn knowledge”，而要说acquire knowledge (获得知识) 。类似的动宾结构还有achieve dream(美梦成真)，gain reputation (获得声誉)，obtain one’s goal(达到目标)等等。
二、造句方面：句式要准确而多变，活用复合句
简单句用得太多，会造成文章读起来乏味。在评卷员看来，同样意思的内容，能够运用比较复杂的句式结构来表达，当然会认为其运用语言的能力要比只会用简单句来表达要强，评分自然就高。
1. 巧用非谓语动词
运用非谓语动词，可使文句看起来更简洁，使语言更加丰富多彩，重点更加突出，增加文采。如：
I covered my ears，trying to keep the noise out，but failed.
2. 巧用with复合结构
“with+名词/代词+现在分词/过去分词/形容词/副词/介词”结构，常做伴随状语以增加被描绘内容的生动性和情感性，使文章读起来更简洁明了。试比较：
I couldn’t go on studying because there was so much noise troubling me. (普通)
I couldn’t go on studying with so much noise disturbing me. (高级)
3. 巧用复合句
高考评分标准强调使用语法结构的数量和复杂性，鼓励考生尽量使用较复杂的结构，并且对由此产生的错误采取了宽容的态度。如果恰当运用各类从句，就会使文章出彩。如：
(定语从句) What’s more，people have easy access to the Internet，which enables them to send and receive e-mails whenever they like.
4. 巧用倒装句、感叹句、强调句、虚拟语气句等
使用这些句式可使文章化平淡为生动，加强语气，使评卷老师感受作者的强烈情感。
(倒装句)Only in this way can we work out the problem.
(感叹句)I thought，“How hard dad is working! He must be very tired.”
5. 巧用排山倒海句
如能运用一个个排比句、对偶句、不定式或短语，可令文章增色不少，会给评卷员眼前一亮的感觉。如：
The purpose of the program is to make our school more beautiful，to make the air cleaner and fresher，and to turn our school into a better place for us to study and live in.
