Unit1WomenofachievementSectionⅥWriting单元写作训练如何写人物描写文诱思导学人物描写文写作通常指运用精炼的语言来展现一个人物的特征。一般说来,人物描写文包括三个层次:1.定义描写即在描写人物的过程中,作者概述地指出所要描写的对象的特征。例如:Heisteninches,thinasaribbon.2.细节描写即通过添加修饰语(包括形容词、副词、词组和从句等)更加详尽地展现特指对象的内涵,从而刻画该对象的独特之处。例如:Heisteninchestall,thinasacurlyribbon.3.比喻描写即通过想象性的语言描述对象,从而唤起读者的情感。例如:Hehasapairofblueeyes,clearascalmwater.进行人物描写文的写作时,主要从人物的外貌和个性两方面入手。外貌的特征主要是通过修饰性的语句来体现,性格的特征主要是通过相关的事情(如日常习惯、爱好、与他人的关系、具体的事件等)来体现。总之,只有当读者读后如见其人、如闻其声,才意味着对人物的描写是成功的。人物描写文常用的词语有:Appearance:ugly,lovely,handsome,pretty,short,small,little,slender(苗条的),slim,overweight,fat,strong,neat(整洁的),poorlydressed,plainlydressed,welldressed,mediumheight,ordinarylooking,etc.Voice:soft,sweet,clear,coarse(沙哑的),nice,etc.Personality:responsible,aggressive,faithful,humble,careless,frank,gentle,kind,decisive(果断的),agreeable(讨人喜欢的),etc.Manner:arrogant(傲慢的),casual,naughty,timid(胆小的),shy,rude,earnest,competent;graceful(优雅的),friendly,polite,respectful,wellmannered,etc.典题示例请根椐宋庆龄的生平介绍,写一篇英语短文。1.宋庆龄(SoongChingLing)1893年出生于上海一个富裕的家庭,她受过良好的教育并留学美国。2.1915年嫁给孙中山(DrSunYatsen),后来当选为中华人民共和国副主席(theViceChairmanofthePeople'sRepublicofChina)。3.她一生平易近人,晚年热衷于中国妇女儿童的福利事业,创办了中国福利会(ChinaWelfareInstitute),并领导中华全国妇女联合会(AllChinaWomen'sFederation)。4.此外,她也为人权(civilright)、民主(democracy)与和平而努力工作。【词汇热身】1.受过良好教育________2.对……有重大影响________3.忙于/关心……________4.旨在为……服务________5.对……做贡献________答案1.receiveagoodeducation2.haveagreatinfluenceon...3.concernoneselfwith...4.beintendedtoserve...5.makecontributionsto...【句式温习】1.宋庆龄1893年出生于上海一个富裕的家庭。SoongChingLing________inShanghaiin1893.2.她1915年嫁给孙中山,孙中山对中国有很大影响。In1915,shemarriedDrSunYatsen,________.3.她一生仁慈、平易近人。She________________throughherwholelife.4.她创办了中国福利会,目前中国福利会旨在为妇女儿童服务。ShestartedChinaWelfareInstitute,________.答案1.wasbornintoarichfamily2.whohadagreatinfluenceonChina3.waskindheartedandeasygoing4.whichisintendedtoservewomenandchildrennow【连句成文】________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________答案SoongChingLingwasbornintoarichfamilyinShanghaiin1893.ShereceivedagoodeducationandalsowenttostudyintheUSA.In1915,shemarriedDrSunYatsen,whohadagreatinfluenceonChina.Later,shewasmadetheViceChairmanofthePeople'sRepublicofChina.Shewaskindheartedandeasygoingthroughherwholelife.Sheconcernedherselfwiththewelfareofwomenandchildreninherlateryears.ShestartedChinaWelfareInstitute,whichisintendedtoservewomenandchildrennow.ShealsoledAllChinaWomen'sFederation.Furthermore,sheworkedhardforcivilrights,democracyandpeace.ShewasagreatwomanandmadegreatcontributionstothewelfareofwomenandchildreninChina.Ithinkweallshouldlearnfromandrespecther.我学我练【我学我练】根据提示用英语介绍二十世纪杰出的女性之一——海伦·凯勒(HelenKeller)。内容要点如下:1.海伦·凯勒,1880年出生于美国。她19个月大时,由于生病失去视力和听力。从此她就生活在见不到天日、听不到声音的世界里。2.七岁时,她的父母给她找了一名老师——莎莉文老师(MissSullivan)。莎莉文老师在教海伦的过程中遇到了许多困难。由于海伦的坚强意志和智慧以及莎莉文老师的技巧和耐心,她们克服了所有的困难。3.她完成了大学教育,取得了英语文学学位。她致力于盲聋儿童的社会工作,著有多本著作,其中《我的一生》(TheStoryofMyLife)最为著名。注意:1.介绍须包括所有内容要点,但不要逐条翻译;2.可以适当增加细节,使内容连贯;3.词数150左右。参考词汇:意志和智慧willandintelligence技巧和耐心skillandpatience英语文学学位adegreeinEnglishliterature________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________答案HelenKellerwasoneofthegreatestwomeninthe20thcentury.ShewasborninAmericain1880.Whenshewasnineteenmonthsold,shebecameblindanddeafbecauseofaseriousillness.Fromthenonshelivedindarknessandsilence.Herparentsweregreatlyworried.Whenshewasseven,theyfoundateacher,MissSullivan,forher.MissSullivanhadalotofdificultiesinteachingHelenKeller,whowasblindanddeaf.WithHelen'sstrongwillandintelligenceaswellasherteacher'sskillandpatience,theyovercameallthedifficulties.HelenKellerbecameanablestudentandgraduatedfromacollege.ShefinallyreceivedadegreeinEnglishliterature.Lateron,shedevotedallherselftohelpingtheblindanddeafchildren.Shewrotemanybooks,ofwhichTheStoryofMyLifeisthemostremarkableone.重点回顾Ⅰ.重点词汇1.worthwhileadj.值得的Itisworthwhiletodo/doingsth.值得做某事beworth+n./doing...值得……/值得做……beworthyofbeingdonetobedone某事值得被做2.observevt.观察,观测;遵守;庆祝observesb.doingsth.看到某人正在做某事observesb.dosth.观察某人做某事3.respectn.尊敬vt.尊敬,尊重respectsb.as...尊敬某人为……respectsb.forsth.因……而尊敬某人ha
