對于英語作文來說，如果第一印象好，就意味著有了良好的開端，也就成功了一半。開頭是作文在閱卷老師面前的第一次亮相，它將決定你所寫的文章在閱卷老師心中所留下的第一印象。今天小編給大家?guī)碓鯓訉懞糜⒄Z作文的開頭。

　　(一)“開門見山”式開頭

　　一般來說，文章的開頭應(yīng)盡量做到“開門見山”，即要用簡單明了的語言引出文章的話題，使人一開始就能了解文章要說明的內(nèi)容。

　　1. 對于敘事類的文章，可以在開頭把人物、時間、事件和環(huán)境交代清楚。如“a trip to huangshan(黃山之旅)”的開頭可以是：last month, my family went to huangshan by train. it took us ten hours to get there. what a long and tiring journey! we were tired but the beautiful scenery excited us.

　　2. 對于論述性的文章，可以在開頭處先闡明自己的觀點(diǎn)，接著展開進(jìn)一步的論述。如“the time and the money(時間和金錢)” 的開頭可以是：most people say that money is more important than time. but i don't think so. first, when money is used up, you can earn it back， but……

　　(二)回憶性開頭

　　在描述事件或游記類的文章中，采用回憶性的開頭往往更能吸引人的眼球。這種類型的開頭中通常含有描述自己心情或情緒的詞匯，如never forget (永遠(yuǎn)無法忘記)， remember (記得)，unforgettable (難以忘懷的)， exciting(令人激動的)，surprising(令人驚訝的)， sad (難過的)……如“a trip to huangshan(黃山之旅)”的開頭還以這樣寫：i will never forget my first trip to huangshan. 或it was really an unforgettable experience i had.

　　(三)疑問性開頭

　　在敘事類或論述性的文章中，都可采用疑問型開頭，這樣既可以吸引閱卷者的注意又容易抓住中心。如“planting trees(種樹)”的開頭可以是：have you ever planted trees? don't you think planting trees is ……

　　再如“traveling abroad(出國之旅)”的開頭可以是：if you have an opportunity to travel abroad, why not consider singapore?

　　(四)倒敘式開頭

　　在有的文章，特別是敘事類的文章中，可以采用倒敘的寫作手法，先寫出事件的結(jié)果，再陳述過程。如“catching thieves (捉賊)”的開頭可以這樣寫：i lay in bed in the hospital. i smiled at my friends even though my legs hurt. do you want to know what happened to me? let me tell you. it's a … story.
