1。 头绪分明,脉络清楚
写好记叙文,首先要头绪分明,脉络清楚,明确文章要求写什么。要对所写的事件或人物进行分析,弄清事件发生、发展一直到结束的整个过程,然后再收集选取素材。这些素材都应该跟上述五个“ W ”和一个“ H ”有关。尽管不是每篇记叙文里都必须包括这些“ W ”和“ H ”,但动笔之前,围绕五个“ W ”和“ H ”进行构思是必不可少的。
2。 突出中心,详略得当
在文章的框架确定后,对支持故事的素材的选取是很关键的。选材要注意取舍,应该从表现文章主题的需要出发,分清主次,定好详略。要突出重点,详写细述那些能表现文章主题的重要情节,略写粗述那么非关键的次要情节。面面俱到反而使情节罗列化,使人不得要领。这一点是写好记叙文要解决的一个基本问题,也需要一定的技巧。如:
One night a man came to our house and told me, "There is a family with eight children。 They have not eaten for days。" I took some food with me and went。
When I finally came to that family, I saw the faces of those little children disfigured (破坏外貌) by hunger。 There was no sorrow or sadness in their faces, just the deep pain of hunger。
I gave the rice to the mother。 She divided the rice in two, and went out, carrying half the rice。 When she came back, I asked her, "Where did you go?" she gave me this simple answer, "To my neighbors — they are hungry also!"
3。 用活语言,准确生动
记叙文要用具体的事件和生动的语言对人、事、物加以叙述。一篇好的记叙文的语言既要准确、生动,又要表现力强,这样才能把人、事描写得具体生动,其可读性才强。试比较下面一篇例文修改的前后效果。
原文:
One day Xiaoqiang was wandering away。 He was soon lost among people and traffic。 He could not find the way back home and started crying。 Just then, two young students who were passing by found him standing alone in front of a shop and crying。 They went up to Xiaoqiang and asked him what had happened。 Xiaoqiang told them how he got lost and where he lived。 The two students decided to take him home。 Mother was pleased to see Xiaoqiang come back safe and sound。 She invited the two students into the house and gave them some money, but they didn't take it。 She served them with tea but they left。
修改后:
The other day, five-year-old Xiaoqiang left home alone and wandered happily in the street。 After some time, he felt hungry so he wanted to go back home。 But he found he was lost among the crowded people and heavy traffic。 When he could not find the way home, he started and crying。 Just then, two young students who were passing by from school found him sanding crying in front of a shop。 They immediately went up to him。
"Little boy, why are you standing here crying?" they asked。
"I want Mom, I go home。" said the boy, still crying。
"Don't worry, we'll send you home。"
And they spent the next two hours looking for the boy's house。 With the help of a policeman, they finally found it。
When the worried mother saw her son come back safe and sound, she was so thankful and she invited the students into her house。 Gratefully, she offered them some money, saying it was a way to express her thanks, but the young students firmly refused it and left without even a cup of tea。
本文对边远地区艺术生的英语教育现状进行了总结,并提出了一些提升教学水平的策略,希望对相关的教育工作者有所帮助。
1。 叙述的人称
英语的记叙文一般是以第一或第三人称的角度来叙述的。用第一称表示的是由叙述者亲眼所见、亲耳所闻的经历。它的优点在于能把故事的情节通过“我”来传达给读者,使人到真实可信,如身临其境。如:
The other day, I was driving along the street。 Suddenly, a car lost its control and ran directly towards me fast。 I was so frightened that I quickly turned to the left side。 But it was too late。 The car hit my bike and I fell off it。
用第三人称叙述,优点在于叙述者不受“我”活动范围以内的人和事物的限制,而是通过作者与读者之外的第三者,直接把故事中的情节展现在读者面前,文章的客观性很强。如:
Little Tom was going to school with an umbrella, for it was raining hard。 On the way, he saw an old woman walking in the rain with nothing to cover。 Tom went up to the old woman and wanted to share the umbrella with her, but he was too short。 What could he do? Then he had a good idea。
2。 动词的时态
在记叙文中,记和叙都离不开动词。所以动词出现率最高,且富于变化。记叙文中用得最多的是动词的过去的',这是英语记叙文区别于汉语记叙文的关键之处。英语写作的优美之处就在于这些动词时态的变化,正是这一点才使得所记、所叙有鲜活的动态感、鲜明的层次感和立体感。
3。 叙述的顺序
记叙一件事要有一定的顺序。无论是顺叙、倒叙、插叙还是补叙,都要让读者能弄清事情的来龙去脉。顺叙最容易操作,较容易给读者提供有关事情的空间和时间线索。但这种方法也容易使文章显得平铺直叙,读起来平淡乏味。倒叙、插叙、补叙等叙述方法能有效地提高文章的结构效果,让所叙之事跌宕起伏,使读者在阅读时思维产生较大的跳跃,从而为文章所吸引,深入其中。但这些方法如果使用不当,则容易弄巧成拙,使文章结构散乱,头绪不清,让读者不知所云。
4。 叙述的过渡
过渡在上下文中起着承上启下、融会贯通的作用。过渡往往用在地点转移或时间、事件转换以及由概括说明到具体叙述时。如:
In my summer holidays, I did a lot of things。 Apart form doing my homework, reading an English novel, watching TV and doing some housework, I went on a trip to Qingdao。 It is really a beautiful city。 There are many places of interest to see。 But what impressed me most was the sunrise。
The next morning I got up early。 I was very happy because it was a fine day。 By the time I got to the beach, the clouds on the horizon were turning red。 In a little while, a small part of the sun was gradually appearing。 The sun was very red, not shining。 It rose slowly。 At last it broke through the red clouds and jumped above the sea, just like a deep-red ball。 At the same time the clouds and the sea water became red and bright。
What a moving and unforgettable scene!
5。 叙述与对话
引用故事情节中主要人物的对话是记叙文提高表现力的一种好方法。适当地用直接引语代替间接的主观叙述,可以客观生动地反映人物的性格、品质和心理状态,使记叙生动、有趣,使文章内容更加充实、具体。试比较下面两段的叙述效果:
I was in the kitchen, and I was cooking something。 Suddenly I heard a loud noise from the front。 I thought maybe someone was knocking the door。 I asked who it was but I heard no reply。 After a while I saw my cat running across the parlor。 I realized it was the cat。 I felt released。
这本来应是一段故事性很强的文字,但经作者这么一写,就不那么吸引人了。原因是文中用的都是叙述模式,没有人物语言,把“悬念”给冲淡了。可作如下调整:
I was in the kitchen cooking something。 "Crash!" a loud noise came from the front。 Thinking someone was knocking at the door, I asked, "Who?" No reply。 After a while, I saw my cat running across the parlor。 "It's you。" I said, quite released。
(一)意识落后,态度不积极
部分学生对英语教育的认识不足,没有认识到英语的重要性,英语学习的主动性较低[1]。这种不积极的态度导致英语教学活动很难得到深入全面地开展,而且部分心理较幼稚的学生甚至会出现对英语的轻视或敌视:英语不是我的母语,无须学习。这是艺术生和普通学生都会出现的问题,而在艺术生中这一问题会因为各种因素出现的频率更高。另外,艺术生一般心理较崇尚自由,部分学生养成了较为懒散的学习习惯,没有进行计划性的学习,对学习的任务也是采取敷衍的态度,导致学习没有深度。在课后,很少有学生主动进行英语学习[2]。这些意识的落后最终都体现为对英语的忽视,态度的不积极严重影响英语水平的提高。除了学生,部分教师对英语的重视程度也较低。很多的艺术类教师只注重对学生专业能力的培养,只注重表演、绘画、音乐等艺术涵养高、文化程度深的课程教学。他们忽视了英语作为语言的沟通作用,没有进行较高质量的英语教学,导致学生学习更加懒散。最后,学校的考核制度也不够合理,大多数学校采取期末的方法进行考核,而考试的监督又不够严格。这种考试制度使得学生的学习只是为了应付考试,教学的宽度有所下降。
(二)基础较差,教学难度大
艺术类专业的文化课程分数线较低,很多学生英语基础比较差,大多数都在60分左右,平均水平处于不及格的状态,甚至部分学生的英语成绩在20分左右,英语成绩在100分以上的比较少。一方面,学生的基础差,而教学内容是需要一定基础的,这一矛盾导致教学从最开始就没有进行良好的对接。随着教学的继续,学生之间的差距越来越大,整体水平甚至出现了倒退。另一方面,基础差使学生养成了一种无所谓的态度,抱着破罐子破摔的心理对待英语学习。英语作为一门语言类学科,学生在日常生活中使用得也较少,一旦教学出现了间断,就会出现倒退的现象。而且,艺术生的专业课占比极大,练习较多,学生没有课外时间进行英语学习,导致基础不牢固。
(三)方式单一,教学效果差
由于艺术类专业对英语不够重视,导致教学的方式没有变化,资源分配过少,加剧了教学模式的单一。大多数英语课堂仍然采取教师课上讲授、学生被动接受的教学模式。这种灌输式的教学方法损伤了学生学习的积极性,也不利于对教学的深度进行挖掘。尤其教授对象是艺术生这种思想较为活泼、性格较为开放的群体,这种死板的教学模式带来了沉闷的气氛,导致部分学生对英语教学出现了抵触的心理。
(四)难度不合理,实际意义低
目前边远山区的英语教学没有考虑艺术生的基础较差这一现状,导致教材与教学脱轨,很多学生无法理解教学内容。另外,在教学内容的分配上,英语的运用内容较少,这会造成教学的实际意义降低,无法适应高考及社会发展的需求。
