1.记叙文写作概述
记叙文是以叙述人物的经历或事物的发展变化过程为主的一种文体, 是写作训练中最普遍、最基本的一种文体.
在高考等英语考试中常常涉及, 一般要求考生根据试卷中提供的情景, 组织语言、材料.
要求学生能够叙述事情, 描述人物或事件, 能把你周围的趣事、生活中的琐事、社会上的大事等所见所闻生动形象地展现出来.
在近两年的高考书面表达中, 命题形式主要是提纲式或图画式, 一般分为三类:
- 以记人为主的记叙文. 此类记叙文一般要求以人物为中心组织材料, 就这个人的经历及成绩等内容展开描写, 在写作中应注意对其外貌、语言及行为等方面的细节描写, 要生动形象. 在写人物时, 既要注意人物的个性与代表性, 又要不失真实性. 并根据具体要求, 灵活掌握, 突出重点.
- 以叙事为主的记叙文. 叙事为主的记叙文, 要以事件为中心组织材料, 应交代清楚六要素(5个W和1个H). 在写作过程中, 要以时间为主线, 合理安排写作顺序, 注意要精心选择典型情节内容, 把握好事情的起因、发展、高潮及结局, 做到详略得当, 主次分明.
- 以写景状物为主的记叙文. 此类文章首先要选用合适的描写方法: 位置关系(如由远及近)、方向顺序(如顺时针方向), 一旦选择了某一方向顺序, 全文就应保持一致;其次要注意选词的多样化, 描写的多样化, 使得看似很单调的景物描写变得形象生动. 在写作过程中, 要注意人与物的情感交融.
2.提纲式命题例题
根据提示写一篇不少于120字的英文日记:
今天你参观了清华大学. 一大早, 老教授在门口接你们, 然后领你参观了校园、图书馆、实验楼. 下午, 老教授给你们做报告. 傍晚, 你向老教授告别.
3.看图作文例题
下列四幅图描述了李华一家某一天的经历. 请根据画面及图中的有关提示, 用第三人称的口吻写一篇120字左右的短文.
注意: 可以适当增加细节, 并展开合理的想象, 使故事完整连贯.
4.记叙文的六要素
记叙文的主要任务是记人和叙事, 而人物的活动和事件的发生总有一定的时间和地点、前因和后果.
写记叙文时要把握六个要素, 即事情发生的时间when、地点where、人物who、事件what、原因why、结果how六要素.
—篇记叙文, 无论长短如何都应该是一个完全独立的事实. 因此, 下笔时需要明确该从何处开始叙述, 该在何处结束叙述, 以及如何在规定的时间和字数内将内容尽可能叙述完整.
5.记叙文的基本结构
-
开端
叙述一件事, 往往有一定的情景. 介绍这个情景就是开端. 作者在开端中, 通常要交代事件发展的时间、地点、有关人物和人与人之间相互关系等内容, 帮助读者理解事件的本身. -
发展
叙述的主体是发展部分, 通常有最初情景的产生, 矛盾的发展和激化的过程. -
结局
记叙文的结局是事件的结束, 往往不是矛盾的终止而是矛盾的某种解决.
举例来说, 高考作文一般是120词上下, 平均在10句话左右.
那么, 我们就要在这10句话中体现出整个叙述的起承转合.
第一部分是起, 写事情刚开始的样子. 需要两句话.
第二部分是承和转, 讲的是后续的发展与变化. 需要6-7句话.
第三部分是合, 又是升华. 大约1-2句的篇幅. 把文章进行一个思想性地拔高.
比如看图作文就会有很明显的起承转合节奏.
一般可以被概括为:
- 原本正在做某事(交代背景)
- 突然发生另一件(起因)
- 想尽办法去解决(经过)
- 叙述故事结局(结果)
在本题里:
- 本来正上课
- 老师突然摔倒被学生背去医务室
- 学生去看望
- 老师出院坐轮椅上课, 学生鼓掌
例文:
- Mrs.Zhang is a good teacher who puts all her heart in teaching.
- Last Monday, while giving us an English class, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell onto the ground.
- Seeing this, we rushed to her and carried her to our school clinic immediately.
- Though we were worried a lot, we minded our step and got there in just a few minutes.
- Her right foot was injured so terribly that she had to stay in hospital for several weeks.
- We all went to see her and tried to offer comfort.
- When Mrs.Zhang met us, she was with great joy.
- However, 3 days later, in a wheelchair,Mrs. Zhang came into our classroom and gave us lessons.
- We were so moved that some of us burst into tears.
- Her unselfish affection touched us greatly, which becomes our example to follow and encourages us to study hard to live up to her expectations.
6.记叙文的人称
记叙文的人称一般有两种.
-
第一人称叙述:
写作者以当事人的口气, 即第一人称来叙述, 把文章中的事情以“我”的所见所闻来告诉读者, 用主观的表现手法, 给读者一种亲切自然的感觉, 如同亲身经历一样, 加强了事件的可信性, 直接抒发作者的思想情感, 从而引起读者的共鸣. 这种形式常在记述亲身经历、耳闻目睹的事件的文章中出现. -
第三人称叙述:
写作者从旁观者的角度来叙述事件, 以客观的写作方法, 能够充分反映事件中各人的感受及见解, 以全知的视角来叙述. 第三人称的应用常出现在介绍他人生平、事迹, 以及描述一些事件的文章中.
7.记叙文的叙事线索
一般叙述的线索可分为以下几种:
- 以时间为线索, 按时间的顺序来展开.
- 以地点为线索, 以地点的转移为顺序来展开.
- 以事件发展的过程为线索, 或以人物出现的先后次序来展开.
- 以事物的象征意义为线索来展开.
- 以人物的思想行为及认知的过程为线索来展开.
8.记叙文的时态
记叙文的时态一般用过去时, 但应根据具体场合注意时态的转换.
9.记叙文的写作要点
无论是哪种命题形式, 都要先确定要点.
首先, 考生要注意所给要点之前的中文提示. 一般来说, 包括时间、地点等, 这些都应在文章中有所体现.
其次是所给的提纲式要点, 把所列出的要点都写到就行了. 但图画式作文就要注意每幅图的主题内容, 包括图中人物的言行及人物思考的内容, 考生应根据每幅图画列出要点.
