提高英语写作技巧30步

　　作者任教中学会考班英语十多年，时常采用不同的教学法。作者曾于1995年义跟30多位学生尝试了一项写作交流计划，名为STS。简单来说，这项写作交流计划是按照以下程序进行的：1老师首先以书信形式写下要跟学生们分离或谈论的事情。2然后便给每位学生这封老师的信。3学生们读过老师的信件后，各自写一封回信给老师，学生们可对老师的话作出回应，也可以主动提出新的话题。4老师看过学生们的信后，便书写第二封给学生，以回应他们的心声，或提出新的话题。按照以上的程序，作者跟学生们作了30次的信件交流。由于老师和学生们都从这计划中获益不少，故现在把这些信件的内容辑录成书，希望读者能通过师生之间的文字交流，得以提高写作技巧。
