作 文
一、从句到段:段落的展开
基本句法掌握之后,接下来就要训练段落写作,这是因为段落是文章的基本组成部分,
要写出好文章,必须在段落写作上多下功夫。段的基本组成是句子,好的段落应该是该段
中所有的句子都围绕着一个主题展开,且句与句之间应该是紧密相连,形成统一的整体即
unified and coherent。那么怎样将一个段落展开呢?下面介绍英语中几种常用的方法。
(一)时间顺序
按时间顺序写作就是按照事物发展在时间上的正常顺序或先后顺序展开段落。在讲述
故事或回忆事件时,先发生的先写,后发生的后写。
【Example】My heart gave a leap when I heard the announcement that our train would soon
arrive at its destination—Beijing. Like other passengers, I began to collect my things and put my
mug, towel, atlas, apples, and other things into my bag. To the tune of a beautiful song the train
pulled into the station and gently stopped by a platform. I walked out of the train and was carried
forward by the stream of people into an underground passage and then into a big hall. As I
stepped out of the station, I was dazzled by the bright autumn skies of Beijing. Though I had
been on the train for more the thirty hours and spent an sleepless night, I didn’t feel tired at all,
and I believed my days in this glorious city would be as sunny as the skies. |
