英語看圖作文寫法策略

鄭　偉

高考英語作文題的卷面分?jǐn)?shù)由九十年代初的15分提高到了近年來的30分,占試卷總分?jǐn)?shù)的五分之一,它的得分情況嚴(yán)重影響考生的英語總成績。近幾年,看圖作文在高考書面表達(dá)中占有相當(dāng)大的比例,自2002年以來,全國大部分高考試卷都是看圖作文。可見對(duì)這一題型認(rèn)真研究、歸納和總結(jié)是很有必要的，筆者研究發(fā)現(xiàn)高考英語看圖作文可以分為五個(gè)步驟。

一、審題：采用 “自上而下”的思維模式，整體構(gòu)思確定基本結(jié)構(gòu)。

審題時(shí)要吃透文字信息和圖畫信息；確定題裁；選定人稱、時(shí)態(tài);列出要點(diǎn)。

二、以詞及點(diǎn)：用一兩個(gè)單詞或短語寫出每句話的細(xì)節(jié)要點(diǎn)。

三、連詞成句：用連詞成句的方法將上述要點(diǎn)的詞語擴(kuò)展成句子。

四、連句成文：拓展主題句，注意連貫性。

主題句僅亮出作者的觀點(diǎn),要使讀者明白作者的觀點(diǎn),就要展開主題,巧妙組織安排語句，使句與句，段與段之間具有連貫性。要達(dá)到此要求，巧用過渡詞語就是其中最關(guān)鍵的一條。

過渡表達(dá)法可以有以下幾種：

表示時(shí)間: now, just now, then, just then, after-wards, soon, before long, shortly after that, soon after lunch, a few minutes later。

表示順序: first, second, third, firstly, secondly, thirdly, first of all, at first, next, at last。

表示并列: and, and then, as well as, also。

表示對(duì)比: like, unlike, just like, just as, while, in the same way, instead of, on the contrary, on the other hand。

表示轉(zhuǎn)折: but, yet, and yet, however, although, otherwise, after all, in spite of。

表示遞: besides, whats more, in addition, even, once more, furthermore, moreover。

表示結(jié)果: thus, so, therefore, as a result, luckily, unfortunately。

表示強(qiáng)調(diào): indeed, surely, certainly, above all, of course, after all, at least, at most。

表示原因: because, because of, for this reason, as a result。

表示解釋和說明: namely, actually, such as , for example, that is to say, and so on, believe it or not, to tell you the truth, according to this, for this reason。

表示總結(jié): in short, finally, in a word, in general, finally, generally speaking, as you know, in the end。

上述過渡性詞語,根據(jù)需要恰當(dāng)使用,能使上下句顯得連接自然、緊密,邏輯關(guān)系清晰。

在這一步驟中還需要注意：①主語和謂語 ②背景（適當(dāng)增加時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)條件等）③邏輯關(guān)系 ④開頭與結(jié)尾

5、檢查修改，規(guī)范書寫

將“自上而下”思維模式與“自下而上”思維模式相結(jié)合，充分利用過渡句增強(qiáng)語篇內(nèi)部的有機(jī)語義聯(lián)系，克服邏輯思維混亂，使文章中心突出。最后，梳理要點(diǎn)，查缺補(bǔ)漏，規(guī)范書寫。

實(shí)戰(zhàn)演練

根據(jù)下列圖畫中Tom騎自行車的經(jīng)歷，用英語寫一篇短文。短文要寫得連貫、完整。字?jǐn)?shù)120-150字。

審 題

1、體裁：敘述Tom騎自行車的經(jīng)歷，為記敘文體

2、主要時(shí)態(tài)：一般過去時(shí)，敘述描繪一起交通事故

3、人稱：第三人稱Tom

4、要點(diǎn)：記敘描繪文體，抓住四個(gè)要點(diǎn)：時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物、事件的前后經(jīng)過。
