高考英語記敘文概要寫作點撥
記敘文體的閱讀材料,相比其他文體而言,寫概要相對容易。在寫概要前,除明確文章主題外,還應抓住六個要素:when, where, who, what, why, how。在這六個要素中,所占內容比重最大的是what。一般來說,記敘文的故事概要可以用這樣的模板來表示:
Who did what by…because…
當然,不是說每個故事概要都包含how或why,有時兩者選其一即可。下文是課堂訓練的一個例子:
Directions:Please read the following passage and write a summary of it in no more than 60 words.
I took a trip to a big lake in Indonesia with my family two years ago. It was really a huge lake with beautiful scenery all around. People were amazed by the endless view in front of our eyes. Later on, unlike other girls, I volunteered to go water-skiing alone. I put on the life jacket, got on the motorboat immediately and started my engine as soon as possible.
The lake seemed broad and endless. I was so thrilled(激動) to enjoy my trip among the mountains and waters that I sped my motorboat. Then, after some time, I found myself in the middle of theendless lake. A sudden fear came around me. I didn’t know where I was or even how far I had gone from the shore. What was worse, it began to rain and it became very cold and foggy. I rode everywhere but couldn’t find my way back. It was useless for me to cry or shout for help. I was so terrified that I began to think about all kinds of horrible things. After floating on the water helplessly and hopelessly for a long time, suddenly I heard someone calling my name. Soon, a big steamboat sailed to me and they pulled me up to the deck and asked me if I was hurt. I couldn’t say a word but cried in my father’s arms.
材料分析:根據文本內容,這是一篇故事類的記敘文,要求對其進行概要寫作。因此,我們先找出記敘文的六要素:
When—two years ago
Where—a trip to a big lake in Indonesia
Who—“I”, the writer
What—got lost; was found
Why—go water-skiing alone; too thrilled
Result—father came to her rescue
列出了要點之后,我們就可以用自己的話將要點組織起來,概括成一段約50詞的通順概要:
The passage tells us the writer’s experience of adventure. Once the writer was on a trip to a lake where she went water-skiing alone. She was so excited and enjoyed herself that soon she got lost. Fortunately, her father finally came to her rescue.(44 words)
