书面表达是初中生学习英语时应掌握的一项基本技能，它要求学生有扎实的语言基本功，具备一定的审题能力、想象能力、表达能力和评价能力等。今天我们来了解一下整个写作练习的流程是怎样的。
我们以下题为例：
假如你是李华，你的美国笔友Billy发来邮件询问你平时锻炼的情况。请根据以下信息，给Billy回封邮件，并建议他每周都要花些时间锻炼身体。
写作要点：
1.你最近正忙于为即将到来的体育测试（physical test）做准备。
2.介绍你平时锻炼的情况：
（1）每天锻炼的时间：不到一个半小时
（2）偶尔不锻炼的原因：作业太多，没时间
（3）擅长的体育运动：球类运动
3.谈谈锻炼给你带了哪些好处。
1) 我们在每次练习写作文时都可以先列出会用到的词汇：
1.最近 recently/lately
2.正忙于 be busy doing sth
3.即将到来的 coming/upcoming
4.做准备 get prepared/prepare for
5.每周 weekly/each week/every week
6.花时间 spend a few hours on doing sth.
7.锻炼身体 work out someone’s body/do physical exercise
8.不到一个半小时 no more than 90 minutes
9.擅长的 be good at
10.球类运动 ball games
然后我们按照上次交给大家的结构去写：
段1：
It’s my great pleasure to receive your e-mail. Recently, I am busy getting prepared for the coming physical test and I strongly recommend you to spend a few hours on working out your body.
1. recommend /rekmend/ 劝告；建议
开篇就用从句和高阶词汇勾住阅卷老师的眼球
段2：转入三项 半控制内容
过渡句：Actually, I have been a big fan of doing physical exercise for a long time, but now I begin to do it more frequently.
1. a big fan of ……的铁杆粉丝
2. frequent /frikw()nt/ adj. 频繁的；时常发生的；惯常的
半控制内容1：每天锻炼的时间：不到一个半小时
Everyday, I do exercise for no more than 90 minutes. For example, jogging, planking and pull-up.
（我给出了具体的训练项目有哪些）
半控制内容2：偶尔不锻炼的原因：作业太多，没时间
Although I have tried my best to do workout everyday, I sometimes have too much homework and no time left to work out my body.
（给出了具体原因，为什么没时间，而且用到了让步状语从句。）
半控制内容3：擅长的体育运动：球类运动
Among all the exercise, I especially love playing ball games, because I am really good at playing ball games. Just like you, my favorite is basketball.
（我再给出了具体项目是什么。并且加入情景：我最喜欢的是篮球跟Billy一样，让文章更加充实完整）
第三段：转入自由发挥的部分
过渡句：I have to say doing exercise has been really beneficial to me.
1. beneficial /benfl/ adj. 有益的，有利的；可享利益的 (to sb/sth)
[SYN] advantageous; favorable
A good diet is beneficial to health.
良好的饮食有益于健康。
原因1：
Firstly, I am becoming increasingly stronger day by day. This helps me avoid getting sick easily.
1. avoid /vd/ vt. 避免.
2. get sick 生病；患病
原因2：更具体，更充实。
Secondly, after the workout, I always eat more than usual. Now I am much taller than the average boys at my age. When I am tall enough and skilled enough, I will be a professional NBA player and I will invite you to my game.
1. more than usual 比平时多; 比平时更
2. professional /prfenl/ adj. 专业的；职业的
结尾：
I hope my dream will come true and meet you in American soon.
（比较通用的结尾，表达了作者对未来的美好期待。）
