4. 倒敘式開頭
在有的文章，特別是敘事類的文章中，可以採用倒敘的寫作手法，先寫出事件的結果，再陳述過程。
如「Catching Thieves (捉賊)」的開頭可以這樣寫：
I lay in bed in the hospital. I smiled at my friends even though my legs hurt. Do you want to know what happened to me? Let me tell you. It’s a ... story.
作文結尾的四種方式
1.自然結尾，點明主題
隨著文章的結束，文章自然而然地結尾。
如「Helping the Policeman (幫助警察)」的結尾可以是：
The two children were praised by the police and they felt happy.
再如「The Tortoise and the Hare(龜兔賽跑)」 的結尾可以是：
When the hare got to the tree, the tortoise had already been there。
2. 首尾呼應，升華主題
在文章的結尾可以用含義較深的話點明主題，深化主題，起到「畫龍點睛」的效果。
如「I Love My Hometown(我愛家鄉)」的結尾可以是：I love my hometown, and I am proud of it.
3. 反問結尾，引起深思
這種方式的結尾雖然形式是問句，但意義卻是肯定的，而且具有一定的強調作用，可引起他人的深思。
如 「Learning English can give us a lot of pleasure (學英語能為我們帶來許多樂趣)」 的結尾可以是：
If we learn English well, we can …Don’t you think learning English is great fun?
4. 表達祝願，闡述願望
這種方式的結尾常出現在書信或演講稿的文體中，表示對他人的祝福或對將來的展望等。
如「A Letter to the Farmers(給農民們的一封信)」的結尾可以是：
I hope the farmers' life will be better and better.
另外，書信的結尾常有以下形式的祝福語：Best wishes; I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year;I wish you have a good time等。
