如何学好说明文作文【一】
说明文是以说明为主要表达方式用来说明事物，阐明事理的`一种文体。它通过揭示概念来说明事物的特征、本质及其规律性，给人准确的科学知识或正确思想。一般可分为实体事物说明和抽象事物说明两大类，词典、教材、论文、实验报告、产品说明书、广告、解说词及科学小品等都属于说明文。
按写作方法,英语说明文主要分为下面六种类型
1.例证法 2.定义法 3.分类法 4.因果关系法 5.比较对照法 6.过程分析法
1.例证法
Our life today depends very much on energy. For example, machines have made our life easier than it used to be. The machines use energy, and energy is needed for heating, lighting, communications, carrying goods-everything. Factories use a great deal of energy to make the things that we use and buy and sell.
这段主要是讲能源问题。第一句为主题句,概括地说出"我们目前的生活很大程度上依赖能源"。接着用举例的方法从三方面说明能源的作用。
2.定义法
An ideal teacher must have the following characteristics. He should know his subject, but he can make mistakes if he is willing to learn. His personality is as important as his scholarship. An ideal teacher must be enthusiastic. He should be a bit of an actor and he shouldn't be afraid to show his feelings and express his likes and dislikes. An ideal teacher is one who grows, learns, and improves himself along with his students.
本段的展开是通过对"一个模范教师"下定义的方法,关键词"ideal teacher"在文中多次重复,能加深读者的印象。
3.分类法
As far as political views are concerned, people fall into three categories. First are the conservative people. Conservatives are opposed to sudden or great changes. Second are the liberal people. These people are in favour of progress and reform. But their opinions often seem too idealistic. Third are the moderate people. The moderates keep everything within reasonable limits. They are more practical in this hard world. In my opinion, most people seem to belong to this group.
本段把人按政治观点分为三类:保守派(conservative people、自由派(liberal people和温和派(moderate people,并对他们各自的特征进行了简要的分析。
4.因果关系法
Of the four seasons, I like spring best. I prefer spring because it is a season of much joy and gaiety. New life bursts out everywhere. Plants wear a green coat again and colourful flowers blossom in gardens and mountains. The old come outdoors for fresh air and the young plan for outdoor activities. Life becomes so energetic and happy.
第一句为本段主题句,末句是总结句。在主题句后, 作者用了四个句子阐述自己喜欢春天的理由。
5.比较对照法
I like having a twin sister. When she's happy, I'm happy. When she feels unhappy, I feel the same. Often, I know what she's going to say. Sometimes, I know what she's thinking. I like what she likes. I hate what she hates. We like the same music, the same food and the same books.
这段采用AB交错的比较方式,阐述孪生姐妹的相同特征。这种写法较流畅自然,给读者的印象也更鲜明突出。
6.过程分析法
There are several steps to plant a tree. First, dig a hole large enough for the tree, but the hole should not be too deep. Second, put the tree in the hole so that it is straight. Third, put the earth back into the hole again. Push it down hard with your foot several times. Finally, water the tree well, as often as possible.
这段分析了植树过程中的几个步骤。全段层次分明,连接词语(first, second, third, finally的使用加强了语句的连贯性。

As we all know, trees are very useful. They are of great benefit to man as follows. First, trees provide us with wood and other products. Second, their roots can allow the rain to sink in and keep the soil, so they help to prevent droughts and floods. Trees can help clean air and beautify life.
Unfortunately, nowadays in many parts of the world lots of people fail to realize the importance of trees. They have cut trees down in large numbers without a plan, which makes the soil washed away. They don’t know where there are no trees, the rain washes away the surface of the soil and this causes floods.

如何学好说明文作文【二】
按说明的对象来分，说明文分为实体说明文和事理说明文两种。
以事物作为说明的对象，重点在于说明事物是“怎样”的，介绍事物的性质、特征，把一种事物和另一种事物区分开来的说明文就是实体说明文。
以事理作为说明的对象，重点说明事理是“怎么样”和“为什么这样”的，把抽象的、难于理解的事理说得清楚明白的就是事理说明文。
按说明文的语言风格，说明文可以分为平实语言的说明文和生动语言的说明文（文艺性说明文）两种。
如何学好说明文作文【三】
但在我认为，语文是非常抒情的。语文，它有优美的句子，抒情的文章，也有各种各样的词语，语文是伟大的，它教会我们做人的道理，教会我们学习的方法。
学语文，非得用功。因为语文不只是要听课就可以了，在重要的地方也要做上一些笔记，因为人的'大脑不可能一下子能接受那么多。就像鲁迅先生那样，老师一边讲，他一边听，一边记，回家后就拿出来复习，这样才能做到“温故而知新”。最终，他就成为文学大师，一代风范。
语文的难点就是——写作文。其实，写作文主要在于积累词汇，因为作文中经常需要用到一些好词，如优美、动听……。还有一点，就是要分清层次，不要东一句西一句的。马克思就是一个好例子，他从小就背诵名人的文章中的好句。所以，在他的文章中，总会出现许多好词好句。
学语文，就要下苦工夫，有人说，下苦功夫等于“自找苦吃”。每天，又要看书，写字，还要想。其实，会驾驶语文这艘“船”的人，无不是经过风雨的吹打。只有这样，才能使你变成一位出色的“驾驶员”。
学语文，就要经受的起风吹雨打，不要因困难而退缩，半途而废。
有谁不想在语文的果园里结满丰硕的果实呢？那就让我们一起来学习语文吧！
