  一、记叙文的定义

  记叙文也称叙述文,是一种以叙述的手法来呈现人物活动及事件过程的体裁。故事、游记、通讯、新闻报道(消息)、历史、 人物传记、日记和回忆录等都属于记叙文的范畴。

  记叙文大致可以分为以记人为主的记叙文和以叙事为主的记叙文。前者主要是对人物的经历、活动或者性格特征进行叙述;后者则是对某一事件的发生、发展过程和结果进行叙述。

  二、记叙文的六大要素

  记叙文的写作涉及到六大要素,即五个W和一个H:时间(when)、地点(where)、人物(who)、事件(what)、原因(why)和结果(how);

  也可以将这六大要素概括为时间(time)、地点(place)、 人物( character)、事件的原因(cause)、经过(process)和结果( effect)。

  三、记叙文的行文方式

  一般来讲,记叙文应具有包括开头,主体和结尾在内的完整结构, 尤其是必须有情节发展的过程。作者应该像电影导演一样尽可能安排起伏和精彩的内容,

  在矛盾的产生和解决过程中凸现出诱发、发展到高潮的完整过程。此外,在叙述过程中为完整展现前面述及的六要素,还需要插入生动活泼的人物场景描写和清晰细致的动作表情刻画。

  四、记叙文的写作要领

  基于英语的语法和词汇特点,写作英语记叙文时应掌握以下要领:

  1. 时态

  由于记叙文是描述过去的语境,记叙发生过的事件,所以比较多使用包括一般过去时、过去完成时、过去进行时在内的过去时态。但是,在很多情况下由于客观描述的需要

  ,事件或人物描述的背景从过去转到现在,现在时的使用不可避免。还有的时候,为了衬托人物的个性,直观地表现人物的思想感情,需要运用对话的方式。而人物对话需要用直接引语,

  时态的选择又需要依托现在语境。这样,事件的时间线索就显得尤为重要,要求写作者有较强的“时间领悟能力”,驾驭写作过程中的时态转换。例如:

  Wang Nan, a world champion in ping-pong, is 1.62 meter tall with the weight of 54 kilograms. She was born in Liaoning Province in October 1978. She began to play ping-pong at the age of seven.

  She played in Liaoning Team for three years before she came to the national team in 1993. She trained hard and got along well with her teammates. Wang Nan has won scores of gold medals in international table-tennis games and won great honor for our motherland.

  She likes surfing the internet, and enjoys chatting with friends online.

  在这篇短文中,第一句是客观描述,介绍王楠的基本情况,用一般现在时。第二、三句介绍她的成长经历,用的是过去时。最后两句叙说她所取得的成就,又转换到现在语境,用现在完成时。

  2. 人称

  人称的运用也是记叙文的一个特点。第一人称(First-person Narrator)是写作者以当事人的口气来叙述,是一种主观表现手法,给读者一种亲切自然的感觉。由于作者是以叙述亲身经历的方式表达自己的思想情感,更能引起读者共鸣。例如:

  The other day, I was driving along the street. Suddenly, a car lost its control and ran directly towards me fast. I was so frightened that I quickly turned to the left side. But it was too late. The car hit my bike and I fell off it. It was really a bad day for me.

  第三人称(Third-person Narrator)是写作者从旁观者的角度来叙述事件,是客观的表现手法,能够充分反映事件中各个人的感受与见解,从整体的视角来叙述事件。例如:

  It was about nine o’clock on one Saturday evening in May. Sam was lying in bed, trembling with cold and having a cough. His head was aching so intensely that he kept groaning. His forehead felt very hot. We took his temperature. It was 38.5℃。

  3. 动词使用的连贯性

  为了刻画人物个性,表现真情实感,记叙文经常需要使用动词来突出过程与变化。在许多动作交替出现的情况下,一定要注意动词使用的连贯性,使文字表达简洁明了,

  一气呵成。下面一段接着上文记叙了萨姆生病后作者送他去医院的过程,动词使用得相当连贯。

  Without hesitation, I dialed “120”. It was not long before an ambulance arrived. One roommate brought a blanket for him, and another helped him in the ambulance.

  一 、写作的过程

  四级的写作,一般分为三个过程:构思、组织、表达。

  1.构思。即:当考生拿到考题,看懂题目,在脑中整合与考题内容相关的内容。这时的素材往往是个别的,孤立的,很凌乱琐碎;

  2.组织。即把脑中的素材做出整理,使其条理、系统化。取舍素材的标准如下:第一自己是否可以准备的英文进行表达,第二整理的素材字数是否符合考试的要求。

  3.表达。即把组织过的材料仔细推敲,确无问题了再落笔成文。在撰写时要注意主谓语一致,时态呼应,用词贴切等。

  二 、写作的必备积累

  1.基础语法。

  写作是一个输出的过程,要求考生一定具备最基础的语法才会造出正确的.句子,所以在真正写作之前,考生需要检验自己的最基本语法知识是否具备。

  具体如下:时态,语态,三大从句,主谓一致。倘若可以掌握更复杂的语法点自然是更好,如:虚拟语气,强调,倒装,非谓语动词等。但在此之前需要考生掌握造句的最基本语法。

  2.高级词汇以及高级固定句型的积累。

  写作的高分标准不是语言的正确表达,而是优美表达,换言之,文章不是写对就是高分,需要写好。这就要求考生一定有语言的积累,体现在写作的造句方面就是单词和句型的升级。

  三 、写作的提高方法

  1.阅读优秀范文。

  阅读是写作的基础,写好英语先要读好英语。积累一个词,应该要同时掌握这个词的用法。记单词不能光记它的表面意思,而应深入了解它的适用语境、常用搭配、习惯用法等,

  这样才算真正掌握了一个词。例如“Actually, no rules of the game states you must do anything”这个句子中,查字典了解到“state”一词意思是“表明、说明”,在这里作及物动词,

  用法之一是“…state…”。以后在写作中要表达“考试中取得高分表明你学习取得了很大进步”便可写成“The high marks of the tests state you've made great progress in your studies”。

  2.加强练词造句训练。

  词句对作文相当于造房的材料,无好材料就造不出好房子。平时在学习阅读时要注意收集积累,把好的词语、短语、句型做好笔记。平时在练习中的错误也要做好记录,再对照正确句子,使地道的英语句子如同条件反射,落笔就对。

  3.了解英语写作格式。

  可以先看一本介绍英语写作入门的书,对英语写作有一个初步的概念,如怎么写议论文,如何提出论据,如何展开,如何确定中心句;又如,英语信的格式,如何根据不同身份写不同结束语等,然后根据不同的体裁进行写作练习。

  4.恰当运用过渡词。

  恰当运用过渡词可以使文章结构紧凑,过渡自然,避免脱节现象。时间上的衔接词有“then、as time goes by、day after day、gradually、finally”等,表因果关系的有“as a result、because of、thanks to”等.。
