1)对于叙事类的文章,可以在开头把人物、时间、事件和环境交代清楚。如“A Trip to Huangshan(黄山之旅)”的开头可以是: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)对于论述性的文章,可以在开头处先阐明自己的观点,接着展开进一步的论述。如“The Time and the Money(时间和金钱)” 的开头可以是: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、回忆性开头
在描述事件或游记类的文章中,采用回忆性的开头往往更能吸引人的眼球。这种类型的开头中通常含有描述自己心情或情绪的词汇,如never forget (永远无法忘记)、 remember (记得)、unforgettable (难以忘怀的)、 exciting(令人激动的)、surprising(令人惊讶的)、sad (难过的)……如“A Trip to Huangshan(黄山之旅)”的开头还以这样写:I will never forget my first trip to Huangshan. 或It was really an unforgettable experience I had。
三、疑问性开头
在叙事类或论述性的文章中,都可采用疑问型开头,这样既可以吸引阅卷者的注意又容易抓住中心。如“Planting Trees(种树)”的开头可以是:Have you ever planted trees? Don't you think planting trees is... 再如“Traveling Abroad(出国之旅)”的开头可以是:If you have an opportunity to travel abroad, why not consider Singapore?
四、倒叙式开头
在有的文章,特别是叙事类的文章中,可以采用倒叙的写作手法,先写出事件的结果,再陈述过程。如“Catching Thieves (捉贼)”的开头可以这样写: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。

How is everthing going? I am very happy to receive your letter. In your letter, you expressed your interest in the class meeting held in our class last week. Now, I will introduce it to you in detail. The topic is “my dream”, and some students, including me, talked about our dreams. Zhao Yong said he wants to be a brave policeman, while Zhang Hong prefers to be a volunteer doing as many good things as possible. For me, my dream is to become an excellent doctor, because that will give me a sense of satisfaction and fulfilment.
When it comes to how to make my dream come true, I have to do the following things. The most important point is that I must study hard. I am just a middle school student now, so I am short of necessary knowledge. Therefore, I’d like to devote all my time to studying and go to a good university in the future. The second thing that I have to do is to get more experience in the medical filed. I will take part in more social activities that will help me understand more about a doctor’s work. Anyway, as long as I keep working and don’t give up, my dream will come true in the near future.
How about you? What’s your dream? Write to me and let me know.
I am writing this note to congratulate you on starting middle school. You must be very excited. It’s time for me to be excited too. Have studied hard for a long time, I need some time relaxing.
This summer I would be travelling for a week and helping my parents with chores. Going to middle school doesn’t mean you have to give up your hobbies. You can get good grades and also keep living a happy after-school life . Sports and exercise are great supplements to busy school years. Please write to me about your new life.
