Dear Mary,
I am sorry to trouble you, but nobody would come into my mind to help me except you.
You know, I had planned this holiday for several years. A t last, my dream came true. You could imagine how excited I was. My mind was completely occupied with the holiday. I forgot to collect my laundry. I dont know if you can help me collect my laundry. I sent the laundry to the Johns. It is the one down the corner on St. Peters Street. You cant miss it, because the house is painted green-a big green house. I have got two pairs of trousers, three shirts, one T-shirt and a blanket. Call a taxi to send you home. I will pay you back when I am home.
My first stop is London. It is raining. The streets are very clean. How I wish I could have the chance to see the famous London fog. But someone told me that was already the history. One can only read things like that about London in books.
My best wishes to you.
Yours sincerely, Peter Chen
篇3:小学生英语记叙文的写作方法
全文共 3276 字
+ 加入清单一.概念
记叙文也称叙述文,是一种以记叙/叙述的手法来表述人物、事件的文体。常见的属于记叙文文体的作品有:故事、游记、通讯、新闻报道、历史、 人物传记、日记和回忆录等。记叙文大致可以分为两大类: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。前者重在描述人物的活动,而后者则重在表述事件的发生发展过程。
二.六大要素
记叙文的写作要注意交待清楚六大要素,即时间(time)、地点(place)、 人物( character)、事件的原因(cause)、经过(process)和结果( effect)。
由于记叙文中所涉及的要素比其他文体相对要多、要复杂,所以整篇文章的结构安排就显得尤其重要,安排不合理就会使读者产生混乱的感觉。
记叙文的展开一般都是以时间为主线来组织所要叙述的内容,使读者对文章中的人物或事件有一个比较清晰的了解。记叙文的结构安排通常有三种形式:正叙、倒叙和插叙。正叙是英语叙述文中最常用的一种结构,即以人物出现、活动或事件开始发生的时间点作为记叙的起点,然后按照人物活动的展开、事件发生发展的自然顺序进行叙述。倒叙则是在文章的开头就交待人物活动或事件发展的结果。插叙这一结构在我们的英文写作中很少用到。
三.时态
记叙文讲述的大多是过去已经发生的活动或事件,因此用过去时态(一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时、过去完成时)的作品比较多。但有时为了使文章显得更加真实、亲切和生动,也可以使用现在时态(一般现在时、 现在进行时、现在将来时、现在完成时)。
四.人称
记叙某个人物的经历、活动或某件事情的经过离不开叙述的主体,即 “人称”。记叙文中的人称大多采用第一人称或第三人称的形式。第一人称的叙述主观色彩较浓,可以增强文章的真实感,有利于表述细腻的情感和细节的过程;第三人称的叙述可以超越时空的限制,更加真实、客观地表述某一人物活动或事件的全过程。
无论采用第一人称,还是采用第二人称,都要保持全文叙述主体的人称的一致性。注意:句式尽量要多变,不要通篇文章的句子都以人称代词开头,否则文章会显得单调沉闷。例如: I loved the book first because of its beautiful heroine. Then I found it a romantic love story which greatly moved me. I now find that it is better taken as the growth story of a naive girl into a strong-willed woman. I realize that it is the essence of the book that attracts such big number of faithful readers.
这一段描述在用词、内容、逻辑上都不错,但过多地使用了以“I”开头的句子,使文章略显单调乏昧,给读者的印象大打折扣。
五.措辞与表达
在全国大学英语四级考试的各种作文体裁中,记叙文需要应试者具有更全面的语言技能与篇章组织能力。四级考试中常见的议论文和说明文分别要求语言的准确性和论证的合理性、可信性;而记叙文的语言则以生动、真实、 贴切为准则。同一个记叙文题目,不同的人会描述不同的人物经历或事件,又很少有固定的表达或句式可供参考,这时作者的综合语言水平就会表现出来,对能否取得高分起到了相当重要的作用。 这就要求考生平时要多注意语言的磨练和积累。
六.记叙文写作技巧
1. 仔细审题,明确主题,选准素材,罗列提纲。
2. 写好第一段
最好能采用一个复句并且用上几个四级水平的单词或词组。这样的文章开篇方式会使读者或阅卷人确信接下来的文章也一样精彩。
我们来看这样一段文章的开头:
The results of the college entrance examination came. I tore open the envelope. As soon as I saw the score,tears streamed down my face. I fell into my bed and did not get up the whole day. All was over. What is the meaning to live on earth? For the first time, I thought of death, of being a vagrant and of being single all my life. I was only seventeen. Wasn’t it cruel to me? My father was hurt and he could not stand it that his son was a disgrace. He was angry beyond words. My mother kept silent,and often I saw her in tears. Horror filled the house.
怎么样,你自己是否也被一种失落与绝望的气氛所笼罩,并且期待着看到作者接下来会做些什么呢?
3. 结构要清晰
下笔之前一定要对整篇文章的结构有一个完整的构想,作文的框架、主题和脉络是最重要的采分点。要清楚每一段要陈述哪些内容,这样不仅可以增强文章的逻辑性和可接受性,还可以使整篇作文的行文水到渠成,不会有凑字数的烦恼。
4. 尽量多使用表示转折、顺接、因果和时间的连接词
如first、second、moreover、for one thing…for another、on the one hand…on the other hand等。这样既可以显示语言功底,又增强了记叙内容的连贯性和生动性。
5. 文章不要写得太长
有的考生遇到触动自己内心情感的记叙文题目时就“一发不可收拾”,但由于时间有限,结果草草收尾,甚至没有结尾。四级作文毕竟是应试作文, 只要充分发挥出自己的英语语言水平,表述出所规定的内容就可以了。
6. 要多用四级词汇,要使句式多样化
没有语言错误并不是高分作文的保障(基本没有语言错误只是8分的基本要求) ;作文想达到11分以上,四级词汇和句型必须达到一定的比例。如,表示“重视”的词汇有stress,emphasize等,但选用短语attach importance to更能吸引阅卷人的注意;disagree和frown on sth. 都表示反对或不赞成,前者就平淡,后者表达意思很生动,更能引起阅卷老师的注意。
简单句和复合句合理搭配,长短句交替使用,会增强文章的节奏感,使描写更生动,给阅卷老师留下深刻印象。如:
(1) 名词化手段:用名词或名词词组替换一个句子或句子的主要部分,然后使这个名词或名词短语成为另外一个句子的组成部分,以达到合并句子的目的。如:
We were very much surprised. Mary refused the invitation.
We were very much surprised at/by Mary’s refusal of the invitation.
(2) 定语化手段:根据语义关系,可以把其中一句转换成形容词或形容词性成分、分词短语、定语从句等,如:
The winnerwas in no mood for speeches. The winner was hot and tired.
Thewinner,hot and tired,was in no mood for speeches.(转换成形容词短语) 7. 字迹清楚,卷面整洁。尽量不涂抹。 8. 最后的2—3分钟,进行修改检查。
检查的内容不是“大处着眼”,而是“小处着手”;不是考虑作文的框架结构,而是留心细枝末节。

篇15:小学一年级英语作文600字
全文共 853 字
+ 加入清单英语念起来干枯无聊,我偶尔往前面望去,有一排同学没事可做,竟然搞起敢死队的工作——在英语老师的眼皮子底下看漫画书,晕。更为巧合的是――竟然都是坐在一排的人!怀疑是不是串通好了的呢。
敢死队员1号:小心翼翼型
这位队员一边看着书,一边虎视耽耽地望着老师。瞧,他刚翻一页,就抬头看看老师,接着又翻一页,然后有抬头望望老师,这样重复循环,真不知道他把内容看进去没有。看见老师的目光没有扫向他,他赶紧抓住机会连翻几页,然后突然抬头,盯着老师。
敢死队员2号:动作怪怪型
这位队员可有点怪了,看着书,一会儿掏掏鼻子,一会儿打打哈欠,一会儿摸摸耳朵,一副惟恐天下不乱的样子,好像不让老师发现他的举动就不甘心似的,真是个怪人。
敢死队员3、4号:谈天说地型
这两位同学有些不把老师放在眼里了,边看书边聊天。我隐隐约约听见他们说冒险岛OL,说漫画内容,说小说,说娱乐咨询,就连老师和同学的目光扫向他们,也无济于事。
敢死队员5号:边学边看型
这位同学好像有些明白学习的重要性,看了几分钟的书,马上立起来听老师的讲课。课上一半时,老师为了扫查班上的敢死队,把同学们一个叫起一个问问题。这下可让这群敢死队员们开始惶恐不安了,他们连书都顾不着看呢。而这位队员呢,看一会儿就学学,这一招算是对他的MISS了。
敢死队员6号:理直气壮型
这位同学可是班上的霸王级分子了(注:别乱想,不是我啊),他可是一人之下,几十人之上,谁敢对他不敬,他的落雷马上就落在你头上了,(注:我已经欠了他3顿打了,要不是我能帮他弄电脑作业,我早就魂飞天了)因此每人敢告发他。不知是她的好运还是老师放水,他这样看了一堂课,竟然都没半点被批评,真太不公平了!!
谁知道,老师从天而降,为了抓住敢死分子,居然来个背后突袭,到所有座位后边地毯式搜索。5名敢死队员唰地一声,在同一时间内放下书,装起乖乖。只有敢死队员6号稳如泰山,而老师的目光明明瞄准了他,可老师却好像在放水一样,竟纵容他在自己眼皮子底下活动,真气死人了!而其他5位的敢死队员便无机可乘,只好乖乖停课,唯独6号占了便宜。
篇16:小学三年级期末考试英语作文MyFavoriteSeason

+ 加入清单There are four seasons in a year.My favorite season is summer .Because when the summer is coming .I can change the beautiful skirt and I can go swimming .I like the swimming pool very much.In summer ,all things are bright.I can go to a lot of places that I like.In summer holiday,I also can spend my holiday with my parents and we can go to the Forbidden City.How interesting !
The four seasons accompany us and make our lives interesting.Summer is when everyone has fun under the warm sun,autumn is the time of harvesting,and winter’s white snowflakes decorate the bare earth and trees.But it is spring’s vitality that fascinates me the most.
I remember when I was a small child,my favorite season was winter.But one thing made me change my mind.
I loved playing in the garden and climbing trees when I was small.But I realized one autumn day that golden leaves had started to fall from my favorite tree,and by winter its branches were already bare.I thought that it had died,and would never turn green again.
When my father knew why I was crying,he told me:“The tree hasn’t left you.It’s just resting.I promise in three months,that tree will be prettier than ever.” I believed what my father said and waited for three months.
Sure enough,when the time came,the tree was greener and taller than ever.Sprouts started to stretch their heads out of the melting snow,and creeks and streams started to run again freely.
From then on,spring has become my favorite time of the year because its vitality brings me happiness.
一年有四个季节。我最喜欢的季节是夏天。因为夏季即将来临。我可以改变这个漂亮的裙子,我可以去游泳。我非常喜欢游泳池。在夏天,一切都是光明的。我可以去很多地方,我喜欢。在暑假,我还可以花我的假期和我的父母和我们可以去故宫。多么有趣!
四季陪我们,使我们的生活有趣。夏天是当每个人都有有趣的温暖的阳光下,秋天是收获的时候,冬天的白色雪花装饰裸土和树木。但这是春天的活力,最让我着迷。
我记得当我还是个小孩,我最喜欢的季节是冬天。但有一件事使我改变了主意。
我喜欢在花园里玩,爬树的时候小。但我意识到秋天的一天,金色的树叶已经开始从我最喜欢的树,和冬天的树枝已经光秃秃的。我以为它已经死了,不会再变绿了。
当我父亲知道我为什么哭,他告诉我:“这棵树就没离开过你。只是休息。我保证在三个月内,那棵树将会比以前更漂亮了。“我相信我的父亲说,等待三个月。
果然,的时候,这棵树是绿色的,比以往任何时候都高。豆芽开始伸展头上的雪融化,自由和小溪,小溪又开始运行。
从那以后,每年的春天已经成为我最喜欢的时候,因为它的生命力给我带来了快乐。
