It provides a student with physical evidence of his achievements and becomes a course whereby he can measure his improvement. It helps to consolidate the students' grasp of vocabulary and structure, and complements the other language skills. Sentence is the base of an article. So we should begin our writing with sentences. First, students should be asked to express with sentences-sentences making, then to write short articles. 1. Translation. Translate Chinese into English. First, they should learn the five basic sentence drills. Then choose some typical sentences in the text as models, do sentence making after these models. 2. Sentence pattern exchanging.

III. conclusion While you are training these four skills, you'd better make full use of your teaching instrument use varieties of ways to stimulate the students' interests. Generally speaking these four skills can't be separated. People often say "First listening and speaking, then reading and writing". That's right. But I think this way of saying is fit for the beginning stage. For a senior middle school student, reading and writing is more important. Before you are going to have a new lesson, do reading and writing first. Ask students to read the text in advance, and do some exercises connected with the text. Listening and speaking are the major ways while teaching the new lesson. Be sure to let the lesson go on in a foreign language situation. You can ask the students questions about the text, do some discussion, check the students' homework. This helps students raise their ability of listening and speaking. It also helps to understand or comprehend the text and the sentences. Reference books: 1. 扶忠汉<<双向式英语>>,北京三环出版社.1990 2. 周流溪<<中国中学英语教育百科全书>>.东北大学出版社.1995 3. 李庭芗<<英语教学法>>.高等教育出版社.1983.3 4.
