不二,能给讲讲英语写作培养吗?
说点自己的浅见,供参考。
学习听说读写的实质是什么?更好的交流。这是人类共同的。换言之,英语写作和中文写作都是出于交流的目的。中国人说,文以志事,文以言志,也是同样的道理。
用中文写一篇文章与用英文写一篇文章,字词当然不同,但作为文章本身,都是表达个人的精神实质。这也就是说,从写作上来看,中文写作和英文写作应该是一致的。
认真地学习其中的一种,另一种也可以兼得了。相对而言,以母语来学习写作,肯定更容易。我觉得,没必要舍易就难。

Students who read well learn the tempo and structure of language early in their development. They master vocabulary, variance in expression, and organization and skill in marshaling evidence to support an idea. National Institutes of Health studies indicate that students who are behind in reading in grade three have only a 12 to 20 percent chance of ever catching up..
