第二講記敘文:如何敘事?
一、寫作指導
敘事類記敘文通常要將時間、地點、人物、事件、原因和結果等六個要素交代清楚。好的記敘文具有描述事件具體、人物形象逼真、故事生動感人、材料表現中心和寫作主旨明確等特征。高考英語基礎寫作中的敘事類短文也需要具有記敘文寫作的一般特點,但要求相對比較低,其考查重點在語言運用正確、句子連貫通順、信息點表述完整等方面。寫作時要注意以下幾點:
1. 嚴格按照基礎寫作的要求完成各個信息點,不要為了文章的生動而隨意添加信息。
2. 信息點的表述不要完全按照題目所給的順序,要適當重組信息點。
3. 記敘文寫作的時態多數是用一般過去時,但也要注意靈活運用其它時態。
4. 敘事類記敘文的話題通常和中學生的生活閱歷有關,如校園生活、旅游、交通、交友等,平時要注意積累這些方面的詞匯和短語。

參考詞匯:改革renovation
參考范文:
1. On July 27th 2007, Friday, we 18 classmates, including John from Britain, Sinba from India and Keith from the USA, went to Lee Farm to help the farmers. We started off at 8 o’clock in the morning, and after an hour’s ride on the bus, we walked for another 15 minutes. Lee Farm is about 60 kilometres northwest to our school. A few days ago it was hit by a strong tornado, and many apples were blown onto the ground, so we helped to pick up the apples and put the good ones in the baskets. We felt very tired after the work, but all of us thought it was a great help to the farmers.
2. Last Wednesday I gave a lecture about China’s culture and history to the 7th grade students from 9-11∶30 in the morning. This was the first time I had given a lesson, so I felt very nervous and great pressure. I presented for one and a half hours, introducing from the dynasties in ancient times to the revolutionary in recent times, but I spent a lot more time on present China, the renovation, the open policy and the economic development. In the following hour we exchanged ideas and had a good discussion, but I was sorry to find that they knew little about China and raised a lot of strange questions. I think we need more cultural exchange of this kind, because we can get more practice and the foreign students can understand more about China.
