2008年高考英语基础写作指导第一讲记叙文:如何写人一、写作指导高考英语基础写作中的写人侧重人物的介绍,可以用第一人称(如写求职信),也可以用第三人称,时态常常用一般现在时和一般过去时,具体的人称和时态要依据写作的要求来确定。
写作过程中要注意以下几个方面的问题:1.人物写作通常需要介绍人物的姓名、年龄、外貌、学历、经历、专业、爱好、特长、事迹、性格等多个方面,但英语基础写作需要严格按照写作要求来写,包括所给的全部信息点,既不能遗漏,也不能随意添加。
2.对题目所给的信息要进行适当重组,安排好写作顺序,突出重点信息。
重点信息通常是写作的目的所在,比如求职要重点突出学历、经历,新闻报道要重点突出事迹,介绍自己的老师、朋友要突出他们的特点,等等。
3.正确运用描写人物的词汇和句型。
