【2018·蘭州中考題】
【思路點(diǎn)撥】
一、體裁、要點(diǎn)、時(shí)態(tài)
這是一封書信,正文的內(nèi)容是介紹端午節(jié),要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表述。
所給的五個(gè)內(nèi)容提示,實(shí)際上就是五個(gè)寫作要點(diǎn),必須全部寫出。
二、寫作技巧
1.運(yùn)用導(dǎo)入語(yǔ)句切入正題。可用“Now I'm going to tell you something about...”,也可用“I am very glad to introduce...”。
2.介紹端午節(jié)的起源時(shí),可運(yùn)用非限制性定語(yǔ)從句“...which has a history about two thousand years.”。
3.介紹端午節(jié)的意義時(shí),可用“被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)+不定式短語(yǔ)”的句子結(jié)構(gòu),如“...is celebrated to honor the great poet Qu Yuan.”。
4.介紹端午節(jié)的活動(dòng)時(shí),可運(yùn)用besides來串聯(lián)不同的活動(dòng)內(nèi)容,如“On that day,people often eat zongzi,...have the Dagon Boat races...Besides,we also have a 3-day holiday...so we can have a short journey to relax...”。
