《新概念英语》二册用短小的课文不仅承载了一个完善的语法体系，对写作也有很大的帮助，通过对课文中句型的模仿，可以总结很多写作的专题。
　　

　　比如，如果要向大家介绍一个我喜欢的明星，Angelina Jolie，我们可以用到哪些句子呢？　　

　　首先，人物登场，得先有个引入吧：Among all the legendary film stars is Angelina Jolie, who is my favorite.主句是个介词倒装句，而从句是非限制性定语从句，这个句型可算是非常万用的。（课文原句L36: Among them will be Debbie’s mother, who swam the Channel herself when she was a girl.）
　　

　　接下来，需要对Jolie迷人的外表进行一个勾勒。课文中用了鲜明特点加细节的处理方法，非常生动简洁，我们试着模仿：She is an angle-like, charming lady with a great many fantastic stories. Her eyes even can talk when you look into her photos. （课文原句L40: Mrs. Rumblod was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her.）
　　

　　有了外貌，接下来对其近况做一点更新，借用课文中一个表达人物变化的好句型：Jolie has always been the dream girl of her countless fans all over the world, and things turned so fine recently that she became a pattern mother and wife of a happy family. （课文原句L51：My friend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet.）
　　

　　看了她的现状，大家不由自主会想到她的过去，于是借用课文中一个进行今昔对比的例句：Before she got married, Jolie once was the icon of girls who don’t want to be mothers, for as a child, she herself suffered a lot from her broken family.（课文原句L31：Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop.）
　　

　　讲到性感女神升级成散发母性魅力的幸福代言人后，我们再用课文中的一个原本夸张幽默的小句子来补充一下：Recently, for the first time in her life, she became the proud mother of baby twins, together with four other kids.（课文原句L49：For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a real bed which had springs and mattress.）
　　

　　通过模仿“新二”下半册的课文，短短几句话就把Jolie的背景、外貌特征、近况都提了个遍，而且句型都十分地道，词汇也都没超出新二的范围。著名的语言大师林语堂曾经说过，语言的锻造不外乎模仿加演绎。用英文表达不出的原因有千千万，但要想写作好，一定不是靠自己盲目创造就可以的。一定要经过大量的模仿，大量犯错，大量背诵。“新二”里面还有很多经典的句型，如果你想直到如何发现好句型，如何在写到不同体裁文章时有话可说，如何规范自己的英文表达，就快快来加入我们的新概念课堂吧！
