写作技巧
主题写作——如何描写一次经历
写作指导
描写一次经历属于以记人叙事为主要内容,以叙述为主要表达方式的文体。由于是描写一次经历,所以通篇的主要时态是过去时,主要人称是第一人称。写作时,要交代清楚时间、地点、人物和事件,可使用典型的“总一分一总”三段式结构。
第一段:描述事件发生的背景。
第二段:简要描述事件,注意交代时间、地点、人物及事件的起因、经过和结果。注意记叙部分常按时间或空间的逻辑顺序进行。
第三段:阐述对此次经历的反思。写作时应注意的问题:
(1)正确运用时态,最常用到的时态是一般过去时和过去进行时,但也要注意灵活运用其他时态;
(2)常用第一人称,从“参与者”角度进行叙述;
(3)要重视句子的衔接,用好过渡词;
(4)话题通常和学生的生活有关,如校园生活、旅游、交通、交友等,平时要注意积累这些方面的词汇。
2. 增分表达
(1)交代时间的常用词句:
one day, the other day, last week/month, a few days/weeks/months ago, when I was. . .years old, a long time ago, at/on the weekend, during the summer holidays, on Sunday morning. . .
(2)交代地点的常用词语:
in one's office, on one's way to school, on one's way home, at the crossing, at the end of the street, at the foot of the mountain, at the airport. . .
(3)开头段常用句式:
Last week, an exchange student called. . .came to ou rschool. 上周,一个叫……的交换生来到了我们学校。
Last weekend, our school invited a craftsman to teach us. . . 上周末,我们学校邀请了一位手工艺人来教我们…...
In order to help… to know more about…, 为了帮助……更多地了解……
I prepared a series of activities.我准备了一系列的活动。
(4)描述情节发展的常用词句:
then, suddenly, immediately, no sooner. . .than, hardly. . .when, while, when, as, not. . .until
(5)谈自己感想的常用句式:
Personally, I think that… 就个人而言,我认为……
What surprised/attracted/delighted us most was that. . . 最使我们惊奇/感兴趣/高兴的是……
Through this meaningful activity, we learned something that can't be learned in class.
通过这个有意义的活动,我们学到了课堂上学不到的东西。
He was very grateful for/appreciative of what I had done for him, and said he was deeply impressed with Chinese culture. 他非常感谢我为他所做的一切,并说中国文化给他留下了深刻的印象。

One possible version:
Dear Bob,
How are you! I'm glad to tell you something about fishing.
On a sunny morning in summer, my father and I drove to the seaside to fish. We took some clam worms, some bread and water. On arriving at the seaside, I felt excited. We took our fishing poles out, put clam worms on the fish-hooks and threw them into the sea. Then we waited patiently. After a while, my father got a fish. However, I lacked such knowledge of fishing. So my father constantly gave me some advice, which benefited me greatly. Then I caught a lot of fish. At five o'clock, we returned home, feeling very happy.
Yours,
Li Hua

【参考范文】
I was once invited to a French friend's home to have dinner. But what happened during the dinner made me embarrassed.
First, I put my bread on the plate, making my friend
confused because in France, people are supposed to put the bread on the table. Second, I picked up the whole piece of bread and ate it. However, taking a bite of bread after cutting it into pieces is considered to be polite. Although I found all the food was delicious, I just ate a small amount of it because I thought it would be rude to eat it up. On the contrary, it's polite to finish what is on your plate.
To avoid such an embarrassing situation, people should learn more about different table manners of the world.
