Based on the effect of alignment, namely, the coordination between input and output in language, this thesis analyzes the functions of keywords in obtaining main idea of the passage, presupposing the plot and enriching the content and then puts forwards three keywords strategies. The first strategy is reading the content and classifying keywords. And then allocating keywords and associating topic words. The last one is reviewing keywords and imitating language usage. It takes the continuation writing of the National College Entrance Examination in Zhejiang province in June, 2021 as an example.The main purpose is to improve students' ability to write after reading, and to evaluate the effectiveness of these three strategies through three instruments, namely, literature research method, questionnaire and interview.
