3. 打腹稿
        　　
        打腹稿是不可省略的一步，但却为许多人所忽视。其实打腹稿就相当于我们平时写作时打草稿，只是考试时没有时间，也没有纸用来打草稿。 建议平时写作时，要养成良好的习惯，即使在打草稿时也要仔细想一想要怎么写，在脑子中先将文章“读”一篇。
        　　
        打腹稿时，首先要考虑文章的开头和结尾，然后是各个段落间的衔接和过渡，然后是各个句子怎样写，要注意用自己熟悉的、有把握的句子，同时也要注意句子之间的衔接与连贯。
        　　
        4. 抄写
        　　
        严格地说，第四步仅仅是将前面三步的结果用笔写到试卷上。这部分不应占用太多的时间，真正需要时间的是前面的三步。
        　　
        5. 修改
        　　
        修改的主要任务是检查一下有无拼写和语法方面的错误，同时注意是否用词有过多的重复。
        　　
        总之，在写作时切忌一边想一边写。
        　　
        二、文章的衔接与连贯
        　　
         在评分标准中，同是否扣题同样重要的是文章的连贯性。往往有的文章扣题倒也扣题了，但还是得不了几分，这其中的原因恐怕与连贯性有很大的关系。这里所说的连贯有两两层含义。一是指文章在内容上是连贯、统一的，文章中所有的句子都是为全文的中心服务的。就各段而言，其中的每一句话都要紧紧围绕着该段的主题句进行，不能说与主题句无关的东西。有人也将其称为统一性。请看一例：
        　　
        The weather has been changeable. On Sunday we had a high wind that blew down some trees. Monday was so cold that we had to turn on the heat and wear out winter coats. On Tuesday we formed a group to go roller skating. By Wednesday the weather cleared and the sun came out. Thursday was as hot and humid as an August day. Friday morning it began to rain, and it looks as if we’ll have a cold, steady wind for a few days.
        　　
         这一段写“最近天气多变”，首句为主题句。扩展句叙述了星期日、星期一、星期三、星期四和星期五的天气情况，用以展开关键词changeable。但星期二没有提天气，而是说当天的活动安排，偏离了主题，打断了段落叙述的连贯性，破坏了段落逻辑意义的统一性，应删去或改为与天气有关的话。
        　　
        再如：
        Sports benefit us in many respects. When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our body. There is no doubt that properly balanced physical activities keep us physically fit. Furthermore, sports can enrich our life and maintain our psychological health. Through participation, everyone can learn that on the playing field he not only competes for himself but also for his team. Sports teach us about consideration, cooperation and optimism, and how to cope with difficulties.
