当然, 不一定每篇记叙文都包含这六个要素,但“某人做了某事, 结果如何”是应当包括的。
因此, 要写好概要, 需找到以下两个问题的答案：1）谁做了什么？(who did what)2）结果如何？(what was the result)☆特别提醒：如果是夹叙夹议的文章，还要找主题句或利用“写作内容”给出的提示，写出故事给我们的启示、教育或其中的一个道理。
（2）记叙文概要的参考模版：The story is about …, from which (启示）......The passage mainly tells us that …, which shows that（启示）......The author thinks / points out / tells us / holds the view that …, through w hich（启示）......According to the article, we know that …We can see from the text …As can be seen from the text, …[例文]阅读下面短文, 然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Who says honesty is dead? Last Tuesday morning Alan Reed, a student, was at the bank. He asked to take out 50 yuan but the bank clerk mistakenly gave him five twenties instead of five tens. For a few seconds he wondered what to do. Should he give the extra money back? Keep it? If he kept it, he could buy several new books,, or he could take his friend Alice to a fancy dinner. Probably no one would ever notice. But then he looked at the clerk. She was a middle-aged woman with a sweet face, and she reminded him of his mother. She had been nice to him, and she looked pressureed ( 有压力的）. Then it occurred to him that the lady would probably get in trouble. Worst of all, Alan felt, he would probably feel shameful about keeping the extra cash. So Alan gave back the extra money.The bank clerk was so impressed that someone was honest enough to return money not rightfully his that she contacted the newspaper. So there you have it. What would you have done if you had been in Alan's situation?（概要）____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________第二类：说明文我们根据说明文的不同类型, 分别给出三种参考模板：1. 描写某事物的性质功用。

Imagine entering a very large building and you have no idea how to get to the office you are looking for. But then as you’re standing there a nearly silent balloon floats over to you and speaks to you. It asks you where you want to go. You tel l it and then it simply says “follow me” like a child’s game and begins to float off in the direction of yo ur destination. It keeps going as you follow leading you to where you want to go.The guide works itself without any help from any human being. It says hello to people as they arrive in the building, speaks to them, processes their requests and then guides them to the destination. The balloon has two tiny fans to help keep it floating and to provide just a touch of lift. Onboard is a wireless receiver for receiving directions from a computer that directs the fans and sensors that let it know where objects are around it.The idea of such a simple robot is one that has been on the minds of scientists for years and has been mentioned in novels many times. Today the iPhone does something similar but has to be connected to the Internet which is sometimes difficult. This is why this little balloon might be the wave of the future ----because it is so much easier to follow .（“对象 + 性质功能 + 利好”模式）____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ [巩固训练]阅读下面短文, 然后以约30个词概括该文的主要内容。
