孙远博士,副教授,留美学者,长期从事英语教学,对英文写作尤有专攻。在国内外学术期刊上发表学术论文30多篇,出版学术著作两部,译著一部。在新东方主讲GMAT写作、GRE专项写作和TOEFL专项写作。主编《GMAT写作》、《GRE写作》和《TOEFL写作宝典》。“多背优美的英文篇章。我们学习汉语写作是从背诵开始的,这一点不言而喻。对于学习英语写作来说,背诵就更加重要了。不下苦功夫在上文所说的阅读的基础上背诵数百篇的优秀篇章,英文思维能力就不可能培养起来;而不能用英语进行思维就无法超越翻译式的写作阶段,也就永远不可能真正用英语进行创造性的写作,即创作。”在网络课堂中,名师孙远将为你提供更多的写作模式和套路。
