读后续写
写作重点及步骤
写作重点
1.重在描写(画面感)
描述过程应加入更多的具体动作描述和情感描写,用具体动作代替抽象表达。同学们比较擅长写“结论性”语言,如“She felt really nervous and cold.”这样的句子虽然没有错误,但是直接地形容词表达,会导致续写指呈现抽象的结论,没有“画面感”。
[例]我每天去学校。I go to school every day.
扩写:With the sun rising from the east, I, together with Tom and Jerry, ride to school at 6:00 every morning, laughing and talking.
2.关注语言
避免句型结构单一,否则会显得对各种句型掌握不充分。应有意识地使用非谓语、形容词做状语、虚拟语气等。
3.注意衔接
要使用清晰的逻辑衔接。如明确的时间线索,很好地承接上下文。
4.正向结局
设计的结局应是正向的化险为夷。

A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day. As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank, he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car. He tried again and again but couldn’t get the car moving. Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried.

“I’m afraid so. I’m in a big hurry and I can’t start my car.”
“Is there something I can do to help?” Arthur asked. The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said, “Thanks. If you’re su
