2008年高考英語應對策略與基礎寫作指導
第一講 記敘文:如何寫人
一、寫作指導
高考英語基礎寫作中的寫人側重人物的介紹,可以用第一人稱(如寫求職信),也可以用第三人稱,時態常常用一般現在時和一般過去時,具體的人稱和時態要依據寫作的要求來確定。寫作過程中要注意以下幾個方面的問題:
1.人物寫作通常需要介紹人物的姓名、年齡、外貌、學歷、經歷、專業、愛好、特長、事跡、性格等多個方面,但英語基礎寫作需要嚴格按照寫作要求來寫,包括所給的全部信息點,既不能遺漏,也不能隨意添加。
2.對題目所給的信息要進行適當重組,安排好寫作順序,突出重點信息。重點信息通常是寫作的目的所在,比如求職要重點突出學歷、經歷,資訊報道要重點突出事跡,介紹自己的老師、朋友要突出他們的特點,等等。
3.正確運用描寫人物的詞匯和句型。
4.注意運用正確的時態。描寫人物的外貌、性格、興趣等常用一般現在時,而描寫人物的出生、教育背景、經歷、事跡常用一般過去時。

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、人物逼真形象、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個方面的問題:
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。
