本书由较容易的问题讲起，逐步过渡到较难的问题，最后是习作评改。习作评改部分重点针对语言的修改、分析，修改后的文章在论据论证、语句衔接方面并不完美，但篇幅所限，就不一一细评。四、六级的作文指令中有的已经给出了英文句子。本书修改了部分作文题目中已给出的固定表达，目的不是教读者不遵守考试规则，而是从纯语言的角度，将最合适的语言表达方式提供给读者。书中前半部分出现过的许多句子和用词的问题重新出现在习作评改具体的应用环境中。

第一章 段落结构的问题

第二章 句子的问题

滥用从句

不会使用短语

不会使用并列结构

下笔时缺乏考虑

It引导的从句达到泛滥的程度

需要使用从句的情况 

第三章 在写作中经常用错的表达

平行结构

one和ones被滥用

意义过于模糊的几个词

写作时应该尽量避免使用的词

第四章 急需掌摊的灰达

第五章 习作评改
