開(kāi)頭是作文在閱卷老師面前的第一次亮相，它將決定你所寫(xiě)的文章在閱卷老師心中所留下的第一印象。如果第一印象好，就意味著有了良好的開(kāi)端，也就成功了一半。Good beginning is half done，我們?cè)撛鯓右惶崞鸸P就讓自己成功一半呢？
1. “開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山”式開(kāi)頭
一般來(lái)說(shuō)，文章的開(kāi)頭應(yīng)盡量做到“開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山”，即要用簡(jiǎn)單明了的語(yǔ)言引出文章的話題，使人一開(kāi)始就能了解文章要說(shuō)明的內(nèi)容。
�、� 對(duì)于敘事類的文章，可以在開(kāi)頭把人物、時(shí)間、事件和環(huán)境交代清楚。如“A Trip to Huangshan(黃山之旅)”的開(kāi)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。
�、� 對(duì)于論述性的文章，可以在開(kāi)頭處先闡明自己的觀點(diǎn)，接著展開(kāi)進(jìn)一步的論述。如“The Time and the Money(時(shí)間和金錢(qián))”的開(kāi)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……
2. 回憶性開(kāi)頭
在描述事件或游記類的文章中，采用回憶性的開(kāi)頭往往更能吸引人的眼球。這種類型的開(kāi)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(wú)法忘記)、 remember (記得)、unforgettable (難以忘懷的)、 exciting(令人激動(dòng)的)、surprising(令人驚訝的)、sad (難過(guò)的)……如“A Trip to Huangshan(黃山之旅)”的開(kāi)頭還以這樣寫(xiě)：I will never forget my first trip to Huangshan. 或It was really an unforgettable experience I had。
3. 疑問(wèn)性開(kāi)頭
在敘事類或論述性的文章中，都可采用疑問(wèn)型開(kāi)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(shù))”的開(kāi)頭可以是：Have you ever planted trees? Don't you think planting trees is…… 再如“Traveling Abroad(出國(guó)之旅)”的開(kāi)頭可以是：If you have anopportunity to travel abroad， why not consider Singapore?
4. 倒敘式開(kāi)頭
在有的文章，特別是敘事類的文章中，可以采用倒敘的寫(xiě)作手法，先寫(xiě)出事件的結(jié)果，再陳述過(guò)程。如“Catching Thieves (捉賊)”的開(kāi)頭可以這樣寫(xiě)：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。
