3. 选择模式拟定提纲
拟定提纲就是把构思好的题材按作文主旨的要求，根据一定的模式组织成层次清楚、合乎逻辑、前后连贯的作文框架。
经过对题目的酝酿构思，把筛选的内容按前后、重要次序排列，整理归纳成写文章的框架。仍以“Benefits of Sports and Games”为例，根据筛选整理的内容，主要采用列举法拟定以下提纲。
A. Benefits to body health
a. Make us strong
b. Especially help mental workers exercise their bodies
B. Benefits to life variety
a. Make one versatile(多才多艺的）
b. Enrich one's life with sports and games
C.Benefits to character-training
a. Enhance courage and enthusiasm
b.Train collectivist spirit
4. 内容写作
经过构思、拟定提纲这两个步骤，作者即可落笔成章。写作时，再加一个开头和结尾，即可形成一篇完整的说明文。
5. 检查修改
检查修改是作文写作的最后一步。检查时可从章、段、句、词4个层次入手：1）检查篇章的主题是否清楚？段落的安排是否合理?段与段之间的过渡是否自然、符合逻辑？文章的层次是否清楚明了?是否有与主题无关的内容？2）检查段落是否有明确的主题？主题句是否有概括性？推展句是否起到说明和解释主题句的作用？句与句之间的过渡是否连贯?段落层次是否分明?逻辑是否清楚？3）句型是否多样化（简单句、复合句、复杂句是否交叉使用）？句子结构的运用是否正确？有没有不恰当的句子删除？语法结构是否合乎规
则？是否有时态不一致、主谓不一致、垂悬句、破句、串句、指代不明、修饰错位等错误?4)遣词方面要检查词汇的运用是否妥当，动词的搭配、副词的位置、形容词的用法、名词的数和代词的格和性是否正确？有没有词性混淆或词语误用？拼写是否正确？最后还要检查标点符号和大小写是否正确。通过反复的检查修改，才能写出好的文章来。
