英语四级作文写作思路及范文：记叙文

记叙文的写作技巧

记叙文是以叙述人物的经历和事物的发展变化过程为主要表现形式的一种文体。记叙文既可以以写人为主，又可以以写事为主。写记叙文要注意记叙文的六大要素即：

时间(When) 何时发生，有没有具体时间?

地点(Where) 何地发生，有没有地点变化?

人物(Who) 何人参与，谁是主角?

事件(What) 发生了什么，有何特点?

原因(Why) 事件的起因?

结果(How) 事件的经过及结局?

一般说来，在一篇记叙文中这六大要素是缺一不可的。

记叙文的思路就围绕这六大要素充分展开。

【例】英语四级考试中，只出现过一次专门的记叙文体裁的写作，即An Early Morning Walk(1988.6.)，2003年6月出现过包含记叙文的作文，即An Eye-Witness Account of a Traffic Accident。

对于An Early Morning Walk，知道命题要求后，我们就要开始构思了。

When：题目已规定了是清晨，在这个时候，我去散步。

Where：到哪儿散步?去公园?在校园里?在街上(街上空气不好，还是不去!)。

Who：在公园里看到晨练的人：中老年人、年轻人、小孩子;在校园里看到读书背单词的学生。

What：人们热火朝天地做操，随音乐跳舞，打球，等等。

Why：清晨空气清新，适合锻炼;一日之际在于晨，背背书，读读单词。

当然，由这个题目可以令人想到很多东西，因篇幅所限，我们做了删减。

An Early Morning Walk

One morning I got up very early, and everything around was very quiet. The sun had just risen, shining brilliantly and everything seemed to be covered with a layer of golden silk. There were only some birds singing occasionally in the tall trees. I strolled along the street toward the park, breathing the fresh air and feeling extremely happy.

When I arrived at the park, I found, to my surprise, that there were so many people there. Men and women, boys and girls, all were enjoying themselves in their various activities. Some were doing morning exercises, some were playing badminton and some old people were having their tea while talking to each other cheerfully.

I wandered around the park. To my delight, I found a few middle-school students talking to each other in English in one corner of the park. I went up and spoke to them in English. We soon became friends. I was very glad to find another opportunity to practice my spoken English. On the way home, I realized that an early morning walk really was good and healthful. Taking early morning walks makes one healthy and wise.

参考范文

Last night I was driving home from work. I had an accident. I was following behind a truck, driving at about 30 kilometers an hour. I was watching the traffic carefully because it was getting dark.

Suddenly a small girl ran onto the road from the left. She was chasing a dog and she wasnt paying any attention to the traffic. I immediately applied the brakes and turned the steering wheel quickly to the right.

The girl jumped towards the side of the road as soon as she saw my car. Fortunately I did not hit her, but I hit a car coming in the other direction. Luckily I was not driving very fast so the damage was not serious. It is better to damage a car than to injure a young child, I thought to myself.

B: 以第一人称写一篇记叙文，讲述在旅行中经历的一件小事。

Go on a Mediterranean Journey

My wife and I have always enjoyed traveling by sea，and last year we decided to go on a Mediterranean journey. Although our holiday was rather expensive we thought that the high standard of accommodation, the first-class food and the many interesting places we saw were well worth the price we paid.

We found that most of the other passengers were friendly and interesting, but there was one man, a Mr. James, who irritated and annoyed us. Whatever subject we talked about, it seemed that he was an expert at it. He had, apparently, read more books, visited more countries and studied more languages, than anyone else had. After a few days, we ate our meals in silence, because nobody wanted to begin a conversation that would soon be taken over by this man.

Then my wife had an idea. She suggested that we might think of an unusual subject, look it up in an encyclopedia and then talk about it at dinner. If it were an unusual subject, Mr. James could not possibly know anything about it. The subject we chose was English Agriculture in the Eleventh Century. At dinner that night we discussed this subject with great enthusiasm. Mr. James was silent. We realized we had at last come to find something he knew nothing about.
