文/刘宝彩/天津
八十年代，我来到一家国际商业银行工作以后非常有幸拜李老师为师了，跟他学习对外金融英文写作，毕业于北京燕京大学。大家尊称他为李老师，他是金融界有名的资深金融英语专家。他早期在天津新学书院的养正学堂专门学习英文，养正学堂是英国基督教伦敦会的圣经学校是在天津最早的创办学堂。80年代初期，他虽然年过60岁但仍然在银行“超期服役”，担任行长英文写作的秘书。我初次听李老师说英语，他发音非常地道、铿锵有力有“磁性”，他是按照国际音标浊辅音和后元音的标准来发音。谈到他写业务英文信函那更是地道、英语“味道”十足。李老师是百年银行中老一辈员工的代表，他爱行敬业、爱国奉献、从来都不计个人名利的得失、有着深厚的业务功底、而且待人谦虚谨慎、带徒弟言传身教，全身心地培养年青一代人，这样使我终身难忘有这么五件事情。
第一件事、逻辑思维是灵魂
记得有一件事，我现在还记忆犹新，因为这件事对我触动真是太大了。那是李老师让我写一封英文业务信函，来回复国外的来函，我特别高兴地把写好的英文信函，给李老师送去看一看，结果使我没有想到的是,我写的英文信函内容，被李老师删掉的仅仅保留了一句话：I thank you for your letter dated Dec. 24, 1980.（这句英文的中文意思是：感谢贵方1980年12月24日的来函），结果其余内容全部由李老师修改完成。这件事对我震动特别大，同时让我感到自己与所承担的工作与要求差距太大了。从那以后，我就暗自下决心一定要虚心地向李老师学习，从点点滴滴学起把李老师的真经学到手。后来李老师对我说我写的英语：缺逻辑；少思维。他经常还对我说：“英语是逻辑语言，不是模板语言，逻辑是英语的灵魂”，对于逻辑思维李老师经常告诉我“英语逻辑思维是人们以概念判断来推理，反映客观事实的认识过程，英语写作正是写作者就客观事实内容，提出认识、表达思想，这样要用逻辑思维推理，帮助完成英语写作。李老师说的英语逻辑思维就是：对一件事用概念判断，作出合理原因和结果的分析，这样用想到的措施以及方案来圆满地最后解决实际问题。
第二件事、写作方法
李老师为了能够使我尽快提高英语写作水平，为我专门制定了学习英语写作三个方案：
第一个方案、用英语逻辑思维法写英语：以观点为中心，左找原因，右找结果，通过一因一果、一因多果、多因一果、多因多果，来完成英文写作；
第二个方案、用“*不五**如一”口诀：看五遍不如读一遍；读五遍不如背一遍；背五遍不如写一遍；写五遍不如默一遍；默五遍不如用一遍，来学习应用英文写作五个句型和扩展句子；
第三个方案、李老师还专门为我制定英语写作“一表三图四方法六优化”图解表格十多张，帮助我写出优秀英文。
通过这三个方案的学习和应用以及李老师的言传身教，使我的英文逻辑思维写作思路大开，从而使我更加喜欢上了英语和英文写作。我还利用业余时间完成了高自考高级英语的学习并拿到《天津高等教育自学考试委员会颁发的英语高级证书》，同时还完成了财经大学国际金融的在职学习，这样使我在日后的工作中如鱼得水，信心倍增。
第三件事、实战练习
李老师从实战上给我出练习题：从基础业务交往、询问业务进展、业务合作，到问题交涉等。这些英文信函，我写作后由李老师从内容到逻辑、从逻辑到词句法，以至于标点符号，都手把手地给我修改调整，从而使我的英文业务信函的写作水平有了提高。有一次，李老师让我写作一封业务英文信函，当时八十年代,行长与天津进出口委主任,联合向中美贸易委员会写一封英文信函，准备把本市十余个合作项目介绍到美国去。接到这个任务后，根据领导的写作要求，李老师安排我来写这个业务英文信函的初稿。我拿着写好的初稿给李老师看，没想到李老师看后只对个别词语进行了修改，然后就签字通过；送交行长和外经贸委主任签字，然后寄往国外。从李老师最初修改我的英文写作信函稿件，被全部*翻推**只保留一句话，到现在只对个别词语的修改,这当中与李老师的辛勤付出和我的不懈努力追求是分不开的，验证了这句老话：功夫不负有心人。
第四件事、提高整体水平
从“没有词儿写”，到“有词儿写”而且知道“有词儿怎么写”的科学思维步骤，李老师通过逻辑单句实际例句汇总表、逻辑单句组合实际例句汇总表，以及从“五角星式”英语逻辑写作组句法，教我写英语，把“内容·逻辑·语法”三位一体，看作是逻辑的衍生“产品”，这样语法及其模板的问题就会迎韧而解了，达到了写作英文思路拓展、提升英语写作竞技性、艺术性和多样性。写英语“不靠模板靠逻辑”,天天听李老师说这句口头禅，我学习英文写作，渐渐地明白了——英语是逻辑语言；不是模板语言；逻辑是英语的灵魂——之真谛。
第五件事、言传身教
李老师不但教我怎么写英文，还教我如何做人，比如，李老师教我努力工作和健康生活，以健康积极的态度，认识、丰富和完善自我，以乐于和善于学习，创新金融业务；发展良好人际关系与社会交往、包容合作、承担自己对社会应当承担的责任；还有教我如何跨文化沟通，做好对外金融业务工作。然后让我谈想法，写心得、写短文、写评论，直至全部用英文写出来。这是对我最大的挑战和考验，最后李老师还是对我写的表示满意。
我每一个进步都渗透着李老师的心血汗水。通过李老师对我的“精雕细刻”，我不仅学到了精湛的业务和英文的知识，也成功解决了一些对外业务上的难题、得到国外单位的认可，发展了对外业务友好关系。
作为李老师恩师的徒弟，多年来，我写出了英文写作方面的文章、书籍和论文，以及向新参加工作人员讲座和辅导学生英语演讲比赛，这些都是对李老师的“回报”：
写出了《如何写银行业务英语——不靠模板靠逻辑》一书（见如下图一）以及《普通话题（中高考）英语作文怎么写——不靠模板靠逻辑》一书（见如下图二）；写出《浅析逻辑思维写英语——遵循逻辑推理学 解决英语写作的方法》等五篇论文；写出《致：一带一路沿线国家代理银行业务合作英文倡议通函》和非业务应用英语文章；给青年员工们讲授“不靠模板靠逻辑”英语讲座；辅导学生英语演讲比赛并获得《中国日报》社颁发的教练二等奖（见如下图三证书）；给公众平台英文即时留言；百度和网易等转载的我所投稿头条和知乎网的英语文章和实用英语特定主题文章；“寻因找果法”解决首届中外客户撮合会相关英文的实际问题；特别是英语思维写英语引来自媒体采访登出了五篇文章。
以上五件事帮助我学会了英语作文写作，而且还帮助他人学习英文写作，例如，为考研英语考生，本文作者写作一篇原创英语作文提供参考如下。其题目是：谈体育说健康（The physical exercise to help people with health）
正式英语作文如下
The proper sport needs doing in daily life to gets fit and makes people physically strong, preventing them from catching diseases to which they are immune totally, in my view. This turns people favourable for being at work, living in life and studying at speed everyday, meaning that no time is to lose in taking physical exercise to stay physically and mentally healthy.
Long-life health together with intellect is well expected to be improved in terms of human beings, whose lives are becoming enough worth or valuable, who would have high-quality life lived in their modern-sociability days.
They see to it that physical sport needs playing to achieve intellectual growth to have a close relationship developed strongly on physical and intellectual education normally.
As is known to you, students are made confident by doing sport scientifically from time to time to have better mental capacity, enabling them to put for life into daily lives physical-exercise and extremely-healthy practice.
This shows the sport relates with health making up-to-date life suitable for people inclusive of students who remain positive about developing mentally and physically, which proves them beneficial for strengthening muscle together with human-skeleton conscientiously in the consciousness, to improve functionally in circulation of blood and in digestion and respiration, and discharge.
Coming to know this, they are reminded of well-healthy growth in which to become vigorous enough to build up active and effective resistance to diseases by doing frequent sport successfully in good mood to their benefit from improvement of physiological and mental function, to be gathering vigorously physical strength.
Of this, people are fairly positive，encouraging in the use of it, accordingly, to grow in confidence and set a high value on sport, inspiring oneself to work together in active harmony with others to make good progress towards the mental and physical health.
To combine with this, people are seen to work together and get the teamwork done by mean of athletic contest together with collectively-physical exercise, at which to keep people pleased to feel in their soul for helping them with their own charming health.
This brings the sporting spirit, principle and morality to hold high valuable to society ideally, leading everyone in society to be under instruction to know physical sport playing about its fair-minded and genuinely-friendly culture in solidarity with teamwork members.
They are aware of the importance to the compliance with socially-accepted rule similarly for Olympics’ spirit and principle, and for contest regulation. Its sport makes oneself strongly completely independent, achieving a greatly-ambitious goal to help him/her have the right attitude towards positively day-to-day life, and feel qualified to be one of members who will join community teams in differently social roles on request.
Students inclusive of university ones in these members could pay a great deal of effort subjectively which is regarded as socially significant to the change of their social statuses by having a role played in sporting ground.
Their education is found to be challenging for enough high-speed development of society, in terms of their higher requirements, that needs getting advanced by all-round talents with high quality including university students on whom to make an importantly mental and healthy impact.
This is to achieve positively on the mind and physical exercise to get daily life more interesting or fun, helping them remain in mental health and develop morally and raise personally fine quality.
To enjoy their really-good health, people are requested to spare one-hour time for doing physical-exercise everyday, that ensures that they are at 50-year work and throughout their life they live happily.
This is to put for a significant purpose, reminding everyone that they could join sport-doing activity in getting them in good mood together with in healthy body everyday.
总结：
作为一个产品的英语写作同样需要优质材料锐利工具和先进技术才能生产出优质的英语作文！所以学会英语作文写作，我得到感悟是：没有好的材料、好的工具和专业技术是不可能生产出优质产品的，由此看来：
生产出优质产品需要三个要素：生产材料、生产工具和产品生产者的技术。同样，写出一篇优质的英语作文，也是需要三要素的，具体来说。
英语作文写作的材料、工具和技术分别是如下内容：
一、材料——你写英语作文所要表达的观点、论据，即：为什么有这观点；具体发生什么使你有这观点；你怎么通过某种方式表达这观点，写出感悟体会或启发
二、工具——英语逻辑思维涉及“两图三表”：英语思维逻辑写作思路图；英语思维逻辑递进式图；“2.70”明、暗逻辑表达形式沟通表；“5.38”思维逻辑单句表；思维逻辑单句的组句表。
三、技术——寻原因，找结果是：英语思维写英语技术四要素：1说出主题；2主题产生的原因；3主题产生的结果；4达到这种结果应该采取什么措施。其表达形式是“2原因←1主题→3结果→4措施”。
所以有了“三好”：好材料、好工具、好技术，才能写出优质英语作文！
