关键词:主题阅读;深层阅读;英语写作
一、引言
近些年来,英语技能整合的趋势越来越明显,这不仅仅体现在日常的英语学习中,也体现在高考试题中---读后续写和概要写作,但是很多学生在阅读中只注重单词,句型和语法知识的理解。笔者任教的海南地区,是英语教育的洼地,对于学生如何提高阅读能力和写作能力一直是我在思考的问题。在摸索中,笔者尝试了主题阅读,希望对学生写作有积极的作用。
二、主题阅读引领下的写作教学和实践

本单元来自普通高中教材(2019),必修3,人民教育出版社,第二单元道德与美德——Reading and Thinking。本篇是按照时间顺序叙述林巧稚一生的传记,主题是学会在生活中做出选择。
