1、卷面要清爽整洁，尽量不要涂改
卷面整洁的专升本作文分数一般都不会太低，阅卷老师喜好阅读字迹工整的文章，让人看上去舒服的卷面，应尽量减少修改，如果字体优美的话就更占优势了。同学们平常要多写多练，经常誊抄一些英语作文范文美文，这样不仅在考试写作文的时候能信手拈来下笔如有神，日积月累的练习也能写得一手好字。
专升本作文还应坚决杜绝拼写错误的词汇。如果考生有拿不准的单词应尽量替换为熟悉的单词。如果有拼写错误的单词不仅会因此扣分，还会影响整体作文分数的等级。
2、注意篇章结构，合理布局
开始部分(opening paragraph)——说出文中的要点、核心问题。
正文部分(Body paragraphs)——围绕主题开展叙述、讨论。
结尾部分(concluding paragraphs)——对全文的总结和概括。
法国著名短篇小说家契诃夫说过：“写作的技巧不是写作的技巧，而是……删掉写得不好的地方的技巧。”要做到全文中心突出、段落之间必须是有机地联系，内容完整、连贯。前后呼应，去除与主题无关的内容。
3、确定主题句
主题句是对全文的概括，是文章的主旨。它能在文章中起到“画龙点睛”的作用。通常主题句出现在一篇文章的开头，而后，全文对主题句所提出的内容进行解释，扩展。
写主题句应注意以下几点：
①归纳出你要写的文章的几个要点
②提炼出一句具有概括性的话
③主题句应具有可读性，抓住、吸引阅卷老师。
4、善用实词
专升本英语作文应多用实词，少用虚词。比如在形容一个人很好的时候，不要总用nice这样太过简单空洞的词汇。应尽量多使用一些诸如generous，humorous，interesting，smart，gentle，warm-hearted之类的形容词。善用这些实词会将你的作文等级大大提升。
5、巧用连接词
专升本作文中如果长句的连词应用得当，会成为加分的亮点。要想使文章有整体性、连贯性，就要学会正确使用连接词，下面为同学们例举一些常用的词汇：
表示罗列增加
First, second, third,First, then / next, after that / next, finallyFor one thing … for another…,On (the) one hand…on the other hand,Besides / what’s more / in addition / furthermore / moreover / another / also,Especially / In particular,
表示时间顺序
now, at present, recently,after, afterwards, after that, after a while, in a few days,at first, in the beginning, to begin with,later, next, finally,immediately, soon, suddenly, all of a sudden, at that moment, as soon as, the momentform now on, from then on,at the same time, meanwhile,till, not…until, before, after, when, while, as during,

表示转折关系
but, however, while, though, or, otherwise, on the contrary, on the otherhand, in contrast, despite, in spite of, even though, except (for), instead, of course, after all,
表示并列关系
or, and, also, too, not only … but also, as well as, both… and, either …or, neither …nor

表示概括归纳
in a word, in short, in brief, on the whole, generally speaking, in my opinion, as far as I know, As we all know, as has been stated, as I have shown, finally, at last, in summary, in conclusion,
6、巧妙变换句式
例如：I think that...... 宾语从句，是考生最常使用的句式。如果变换成另一种句式I have a thought that......同位语从句，立刻让人眼前一亮，为作文平添光彩。
还比如：I hear that也是很多考生常用的句式。如果换成It is reported that...... 或者There is a piece of news that 同样的意思，却明显体现出了考生知识运用的差距。后者明显分数会更高!
在批改过上万份同学们英语作文中，经常能发现一些将中文生硬地翻译成英文的表达法。有一句话叫做“立志如山，行道如水”，写英文作文，一定要有决心把它 写好，有信心把意思表达清楚，这是“立志如山”;但关键是遇到问题时要有个灵活的态度，能像流水一样变通解决问题。绕道表达，是写作中应该常常运用的一种方法。
最后，为同学们例举一些英语作文中的常用句型，希望对同学们有所帮助。
