句子
如果學生的作業做得很好，我們可以給他（她）寫上這樣的批語：
You care.
Beautiful work !
You』ve done a good job.
Great! Your English is very good and your answers are right.
又如學生的作業質量比以前好多了，我們可以寫上這樣的批語：
You are making progress.
You can do better now than you did before.
如果要鼓勵學生下一次作業要做得更好，要繼續努力，我們可以寫上這樣的批語：
Come on !
I’m sure you can do your homework better next time.
針對成績一般，但書寫認真的學生；需要鼓勵的後進生我們就要給予一些鼓勵性的話語。他們的作業中有時候不是全正確，但他們的書寫較為認真的話，跟他們說：
Your handwriting is so beautiful. Can you try hard for your homework?或者說：Super!Try to be better next time ! /Try again , I’m sure you will do better next time ! / Looking good ! / Now you are flying !
對於作業較差的學生，批評時要注意藝術性和啟發性，避免傷害學生的自尊心。在發現有的同學作業馬馬虎虎的時候，我們可以在寫批語的時候寫上這樣的句子：
If you can write carefully , Your homework will be better . I think you can.
抄作業的情況：
「I’m sorry to see that you can’t use your own head to finish your homework . If you feel hard to finish your homework, you can ask me. I will help you .Will you do it all by yourself next time?
上次批評過那個抄別人作業的同學，我發現他能自己獨立完成作業了，我也替他開心，因此，這次我給了他這樣的批語：
「Great ! You can do homework by yourself now . I’m very happy . Try again. 」或 I’m very happy to see your progress.Wonderful!
有些學生經常犯拼寫錯誤，一個個批改費力又費時，且沒有必要，然而又不可視而不見，這時你可批註：
What a pity! Your work is quite good except for a few spelling mistakes.
如果個別學生因課堂不注意聽講而犯了不該出現的錯誤，在作業中可以給予勸告：
You should have done well, but you didn’t listen carefully in class,what a pity!
對於基礎差的學生，批語要多鼓勵。如：
Although you make lots of mistakes, I love your handwriting. Next time you can do it better, I believe in you.
對於基礎較好的學生，批語要有表揚，更要有激勵，提出更高要求，促使他們更大進步。如：
You』ve walked far in study and you can walk further! Work harder, you』ll be a top student.
針對中等生的批語應慎重，他們往往是大錯不犯，小錯不斷，批語中要多一點嚴厲和鞭策。如：
Little by little one goes far. If you don’t work hard, you』ll fall behind others. Do you hope so? If not, what should you do? I hope to see you make progress.
對中等生或後進生則要抓住優點，用略為誇張的感嘆句進行肯定和讚揚並順帶提出希望。如：
「Well done! But would you please improve your handwriting?」 又如：「Try again, I’m sure you』ll do better next time!」
曾經批評過某生的書法，後發現其有所進步，我立即給予表揚：
I』ve found your handwriting is better than before. Very good!
對字跡工整、認真但作業卻有錯，或是作業基本正確但書寫不夠工整、認真的學生，可給他這樣的批語：
① 「What a beautiful handwriting! If only be more careful!」—多漂亮的書法呀！要是作業再仔細一點就好了！
② 「Well done !But would you please improve your handwriting?」—做得很好！再設法改善一下你的書法怎麼樣？
針對各種不同情況，用來表達讚揚和鼓勵的類似批語還有：
① 「I'm so glad to see your great progress in your exercises.」—你的作業進步這麼大，我真高興！
② 「I'm pleased that you have made so great progress now .Thank you!」—很高興看見你現在取得這麼大的進步。謝謝你！
③ 「Try again ,I'm sure you will do better next time!」—再努一把力！相信你下次會做得更好！）
④ 「Well done ! Try to be better next time, will you?」—真棒！爭取下次更好，行嗎？
對作業較差的學生，批評要注意藝術性和啟發性，避免傷害學生的自尊心。英語中的委婉語和虛擬語氣常可以用來表達帶批評意義的指導，如：「 If only……！」、「 How I wish ……！」、「 Would you please ……？」、「I'm afraid you ……」等等。 我常用的這類批語有：
① 「If only your handwriting were better! 」—要是你的字能寫工整點該多好啊！
② 「How I wish you did your homework all by yourself! I think you can!」—我多希望你能自己完成作業啊！我相信你能做到。
③ 「I'm sorry to see you didn't use your own head this time. Will you do it all by yourself next time?」—我很遺憾， 你這次作業沒有使用自己的腦袋。下次作業獨立完成，好嗎？
④ 「Would you please pay attention to……?」—請你注意……好嗎？
⑤ 「I'm afraid you used Chinglish here , do you think so?」—恐怕你在這兒用的是中國式英語，你說 呢？（「Chinglish」是「Chinese English」的幽默說法）
一句好的評語，不僅能反映學生解題的正誤，對學生進行恰當的學法指導，使學生形成正確的解題思路和方法，而且還能挖掘學生的潛在能力。通過積極引導，拓寬學生的思路，培養學生自主創新精神。
