寫作指導
這是一篇描寫文(Description)。用通俗的話說,描寫文就是用文字給人物、地點、景物畫象。一篇描寫文主要是通過所感受的細節(jié)——所見所聞發(fā)展而來的。在寫人時,不僅僅要用細節(jié)描寫其外貌,而要注重通過他的言行來表現(xiàn)其人物性格、思想和品德,更要抓住他區(qū)別于他人的性格特點,這樣就容易給讀者留下深刻的印象。短文的第一、二段敘述故事發(fā)生的時間、地點,故事發(fā)生的原因及故事所涉及的人物。文章的三、四、五段描寫的是人物的外貌,穿著及性格特點。通過對人物言行的簡單描寫來揭示主人翁的助人為樂的高尚精神。短文的最后一段,要用一句話概括作者對主人翁的看法:Agoodguy。文章有描述,有議論,要加敘加議,有血有肉,上下文連貫要緊密,首尾要呼應,人和事要給人們留下深刻印象。
