  如何写好英语记叙文

  一、记叙文的特点

   

    记叙文是以叙述、描写为主要表达手段来记人、叙事、写景、状物的一种文体。通常分为三类:1.以记人物为主的记叙文,即以人物为中心组织材料,围绕这个人物来写一件事或两件事。2.以事件为主的记叙文,即以事件为中心组织材料,围绕中心事件,可以写一个人或几个人。3.以写景状物为主的记叙文。但是人以事显,事由人生,人和事是密不可分的。也就是说,在一篇记叙文中,记人、写景、叙事往往是交织在一起的,不可硬性分开,但各有侧重。

   

    二、记叙文的写作技巧

   

    在写记叙文时通常应遵循以下几点:

   

    1.在下笔时先要定下内容和中心。定内容就是常说的选材,选材要注意一是新颖,二是真实。因为新颖的题材能够吸引读者的兴趣,真实的内容才能流露出真情实感,这是评定一篇佳作的标准。选材时不一定总是要写惊天动地的大事,也可以写日常生活中的小事,通过以小见大的点滴小事更能反映出一个人的性格特征和精神风貌,更能体现生活气息,更能打动读者。定中心时要注意一是明确,二是集中。明确就是要抓住文章要表现什么,要做到心中有数,让读者一目了然。集中就是文章要表达的意思,不能太分散。另外在定中心时一定要把握好分寸,不必过分追求突出。

   

    2.要交待要素,即时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、经过和结果。在行文的过程中交待要素时,不能像答题时一样呆板,要根据情况灵活把握,不需作者交待读者就能明白的可以省略。

   

    3.要力求内容具体。有了具体的内容,文章才能显得生动,才能使人受到感染并留下深刻的印象。要做到这一点,必须善于在叙事过程中对最能体现人物思想、性格特征的肖像、语言、行动和心理等进行适当地描写。

   

    4.要根据文章的中心确定详略并且要得当。

   

    5.对于写景状物类的文章,要注意写出被描写事物的形和神,做到形神兼俱,更重要的是一定要写出作者的思想感情,表达出作者的人生态度和追求等。这类文章我们可以采用借景抒情”“托物言志的写作方法。6.写作时要注意时态和人称。一般用第一人称写本人的经历和耳闻目睹的事情,用第三人称写他人经历的事情,记叙文所记的一般是过去发生的事情,所以原则上通常用过去时态来写。

   

    三、记叙文佳作欣赏

   

    My Father

   

    My father is a tall man with a pair of glasses Everyone says he is a kindhearted man He often helps our neighbors and some strangers whom he doesn’t know at all He has really done a lot for others I don’t like him to do so because I think it has taken him too much time When I discourage him he always says with a smile “The world needs warm hearts

   

    My father loves our family and loves his work even better In the company he is called “workaholic” He spends most of his time working and he often forgets to have meals or to go to bed As a result he doesn’t enjoy good health

   

    My father likes reading in his spare time He told me reading was very interesting I became interested in reading little by little I like books because they help me in many ways My father has a bad habit — he likes smoking very much I hate it Look the house is full of smoke I know it’s bad for his health as well as mine and my mother’s I advise him to give up smoking I’m sure he will follow my advice some day

   

    Such is my father I love him very much I am proud of having so good a father

   

    【评析】本文是很好地运用了首括句的方法,使我们对作者父亲的特点一目了然。一位严格自律,工作认真,乐于助人,热爱家庭的慈父跃然纸上。同时,我们从文中也感受到浓浓的父女深情。

   

    A Visit to Qinhuang Island

   

    Last summer the weather was hotter than usual Everything was done but people couldn’t make themselves comfortable The summer holidays came and my family decided to go to Qinhuang Island to spend a few days there On the first day of our trip we climbed up the hill called Xifeng which is near the coast You can’t imagine how wonderful the view is from the top of Xifeng Here was an overall picture of the small town We saw lots of white buildings with red roofs among big green trees There is the vast sea with many little green islands on it

   

    The next day we got up early and went excitedly to the beach near the hotel to watch the sun rising We looked to the east The clouds were reddish and then turned bright red Soon the sun slowly showed half of her face The sky around the sun was very bright and suddenly the sun had a leap from the sea and her full face appeared with golden rays setting out The sea looked as if it was covered with red silk The sight was so beautiful that we would never forget it

   

    Not only is the scenery beautiful there but the people there are very friendly We also bought many things there such as necklaces shells and a lot of seafood

   

    To our disappointment we had to leave the island But we’ll always remember this trip and the people there

   

    【评析】本文以游记的形式介绍了秦皇岛这座海港城市,重点记述了看日出的过程,描写生动,感染力颇强。不仅写了景、物,还写了人,构成一幅生情并茂的图画。

   

    An Unforgettable Night

   

    At 10 o’clock last Saturday night I came out of the cinema It was cold and the road was covered with snow

   

    Suddenly I saw a woman fall off her bike She couldn’t get up I ran to her at once and tried to help her to sit up She said that her right leg was broken I was worrying about when a young policeman came over He called a taxi I took her to a hospital and telephoned her family about the matter As I saw the woman was well looked after I said goodbye to her

   

    I felt happy I could help the woman and I also hope she will be soon getting well

   

    【评析】本文是一篇典型的三段文章,第一段介绍人物、时间及故事的背景;第二段写事件过程;第三段写感受。全文结构紧凑,情节完整。
