介紹地點(diǎn)的說明文,要求圍繞某一個地點(diǎn)進(jìn)行介紹,它以說明為主,中間可以穿插描寫和敘述。對此,筆者就這類說明文的寫作技巧和常用句型進(jìn)行了歸納,以期對同學(xué)們的寫作有所助益。
【寫作技巧】
(1)明確主體內(nèi)容。此類說明文,通常是先介紹該地點(diǎn)的總體情況,如地理位置、 交通、氣候、歷史背景等,然后具體介紹當(dāng)?shù)?的名勝古跡、歷史文化以及美食特色等;最 后,進(jìn)行總結(jié)。
(2)抓住主要特征。每個事物都有其獨(dú) 特之處,在介紹該地點(diǎn)時,要抓住地點(diǎn)的主 要特征展開說明,以便于讀者對該地點(diǎn)產(chǎn)生 清晰的認(rèn)識和了解,從而留下深刻的印象。
(3)運(yùn)用合理的說明順序。介紹地點(diǎn) 時,不要想到哪里就寫到哪里,要按照一定 的說明順序進(jìn)行描述,如自上而下,從左到 右,由遠(yuǎn)到近等,從而避免文章顯得雜亂無 章,使文章讀來富有邏輯性和層次感。
