高考英语书面表达字数要求不高，百字之间却能体现考生的水平。一篇可读性较强的作文一定能体现出作者扎实的文字功底和语言驾驭能力。下面以一篇书面表达为例分三个方面谈谈。
原题是：假设你是某中学生英文报的小记者，对中学生课外上网的利弊进行调查采访。以下是学生们对上网的看法。请你根据他们的观点写一篇简要的调查报告，并呼吁正确使用互联网。
使用互联网的益处 使用互联网的弊端
1、资源丰富
2、节省时间
3、方便交流和沟通 1、内容良莠不齐
2、沉迷网络游戏会影响学业
3、过多使用会影响健康
一、使用简洁多样的句式
简洁就是做到语言精练，不重复，不罗嗦。简洁而有丰富的信息量。句式的变换是语言功底的体现，自然是高分作文的必备条件。经过平时较长时间的训练，学生完全有可能造出新颖而生动有力的句子，使他们的表达灵活多样，有闪光点，表现出自己的实力而多得分。
㈠各种复合句
1. There’s no doubt that the Internet does us good.（同位语从句）
2. The majority of students believe that they benefit a lot from the Internet.（宾语从句）
3. As is known to all, once addicted to the online games, the students no longer concentrate on their studies.（定语从句和状语从句）
4. Helpful as the computer is, some still stick to the opinion that not everything on the Internet is good for us students.（状语从句和同位语从句）
㈡ 倒装句
1. Never before could we find such information with just a click.
2. Only with great care and under proper guidance will the students improve their studies and enjoy making new friends by surfing the Internet.
3. In spite of the increasing popularity and convenience that the Internet brings, by no means can people ignore its bad effects on teenagers.
㈢ 强调结构
1. It is the Internet that makes the world much smaller.
2. Isn’t it the Internet that provides people with a more convenient way of communication?
3. The Internet does enable people to communicate with each other more easily and quickly.
㈣感叹句

2. How convenient it is to use the computer!
㈤虚拟语气
1. As more and more students stay up surfing the Internet，it is high time that we discussed the problem.
2. Without the Internet, we would not have enjoyed our life so much.
3. Some people insist that teenagers be kept away from the Internet.
㈥非谓语动词
1. We should try to make proper use of the computer, making it a good partner that benefits our life as well as our study.
2. Being absorbed in the games, students may have difficulty in controlling themselves, leaving their homework undone.
3. Some students have their health damaged by burying themselves in the Internet.
此外，还可以尝试使用独立主格结构、with的复合宾语、反意问句、并列句、名言警句、长短句交替、句子被动结构等。清新简洁的文字，灵活多变的语句能使文章的语言结构更加丰富多彩。
二、选词要准确，有特色
词汇是写作的材料和基石。恰当灵活地使用一些较高级的单词和短语，能有效地提高表达的层次，增添文章的色彩。同样以上面书面表达为例可以用到以下较高级的词汇:
do sb good /harm, have one’s health damaged , leave one’s homework undone, benefit (from), be addicted to, concentrate on, provide, enable, absorbed in, have difficulty in tearing oneself away from, be kept away from , make proper use of, stay up, have a bad effect on, separate good plants from wild weeds, communicate with等等。
有时用上一些介词短语, 也可以使表达清晰简洁, 减少没必要的句式重复:
under proper guidance, with the development of computer technology, in spite of the increasing popularity, by surfing the Internet, of great importance等等。
三、使用好连接词
使用连接词，可以使整篇表达过渡自然，连贯通顺，一气呵成。在这篇书面表达中可以用以下的过渡性词语:
what’s more ( also, beside, in addition), worse still ( what’s worse, to make things worse), however, therefore, as a result, on the other hand, on the contrary, generally speaking等等。
当然，写出一篇与众不同的漂亮作文非一日之功。学生要打下扎实的英语基础，培养良好的语感，在大量的语言输入的前提下，做个有心人，有意识地积累词汇和语言知识，反复强化，才能运用自如，下笔如有神。另一方面，有特色一定要贴切、简洁、自然，千万不要堆砌辞藻，否则弄巧成拙，适得其反。
