七年级英语下册
Unit 9写作指导
【写作目标】
用英语描写人物。
【写作任务】
假如你所在的英语社团本周的活动是口头描述自己最好的朋友。请你用英语写一篇短文,为发言做准备。
【指点迷津】
描写自己最好的朋友属于描写文,其写作要点如下:(1) 内容:可以先简述好友的个人情况,如姓名、年龄等;然后重点从好友的外貌、穿着、性格等方面进行详细描写;最后可以对好友进行总体评价,让他人对其有更全面的了解。(2) 人称:以第三人称为主。(3) 时态:一般现在时。
【谋篇布局】
【衔接】
★对John的外貌特征进行描写时,文中首先概述了他的身高、身材,然后介绍了他的发型、脸型及面部的细节特征,这些部分形成一个语义网,达到在内容上的连贯。
★在(4)中,第一句描写了 John 的脸型及面部细节特征,第二句用“很英俊的男孩”进行概括。行文时我们可将两个句子合并为含with介词短语(用来描述主语的外貌特征)的一句话,这样既保持了原句的意思,又提升了句子的简洁性。
【连句成文】
同学们,根据【谋篇布局】的练习,赶快动笔完成这篇短文吧!
