写作进行时——说明文
[技巧点拨]
.写作要点
说明文的主要特点是清晰,文章结构多采用“主题——主体——结语”的形式。
1.主题——对要说明的人物或事物简要介绍。
2.主体——按照题目提供的信息分层次,按一定顺序进行说明,注意要做到条理清楚,层次分明,语言简练,用词准确,一目了然。
3.结语——客观收尾,表示说明到此为止。
4.基本时态是一般现在时,为强调客观性,语言表述多用客观性动词,如seem,there be,maybe等,多用被动语态,多用书面语、长句、复合句。

Hello, everyone,
My name is Li Hua. Welcome to our school. As a member of the Student Union, it is a great honor for me to be your guide. For your convenient, I would like to tell you something about the surroundings around our school. 【为了方便,在介词后应该使用convenience;附属设施应该使用facilities,而非surroundings。】

参考范文:
The book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother written by Amy Chua, a Chinese American, who is a professor in Yale University, was published in 2010. The book is about how the author educated her two daughters with Chinese traditional education mode, which brought about heated discussion about which is better between Chinese education mode and American education mode. In early 2011, the book came onto the market in China.
Contrary to people's expectations, most of the Chinese mothers are not in favor of the author's way she educated children. However, according to the latest news, her elder daughter, has been admitted into Yale University as well as Harvard University.
