23、havent the strength of either one. (373词)By SUZANNE STEWARTIReading 读1. what: 弄清楚文本有关内容和最关键的事件。本文看上去比较散,提到的内容很多:父亲生活的艰辛,我们一家人分散,父亲独居,父亲每年都买树来装饰,父亲在我心目中的形象就像高大挺拔的一棵树。由于作者复杂的情感,情感的暗线不好捕捉:我既感怀于父亲能够宽容地看待我们远离他在外地工作,敬佩他从不抱怨,哪怕是在晚年,总是表现出自己很独立的样子,又愧疚于自己抛弃了他,让他孤单一人;父亲一直站在窗口看着,他内心很舍不得。但文本的一条明线(文中虚线标注)却是比较好捕捉的
24、:凌晨,父亲送别我,帮我拿行李,一直站在窗口看着我离去。What: My father saw me off in the early morning.2.what(事件)发生的逻辑条件:who: my father & I why: My father lives alone. We came back to spend the holidays with him. when: in the early morningwhere: my fathers home分析的时候,要注意首先父亲独居,其次我们回来过假期,陪伴他,才有父亲送别女儿这一幕。送别时,父亲一直久久看着我,足见父亲舍不得,而我
25、内心复杂,更多的是愧疚,对我来说,“抛弃”父亲也是很难的。II. Writing 写1.人称: 原文用第一人称,因此概要用第一人称(the first person)写。当然,如果是转述,则用第三人称(the third person)。2.时态:因为叙述一件过去的事情,用的是过去时态。但原文第1段和倒数第1,2,3,4,5用的是现在时态,是因为作者描述的是分别的场面,写的是正当时(现在)的心情。其它的则是发生在刚才的,或者是回忆,用的是过去时态。综合,时态也要过去和现在穿插,或者大部分用过去时。3.逻辑,顺序:记叙文常常穿插很多细节,以及回忆的事件,作者会用倒叙写。但因为是概要,需要简短,记
26、叙文一般用时间顺序来写。 内容则要写到事件最关键的内容:My father saw me off in the early morning.把六要素串起来: (范文如下)Sample1My father lives alone in his house. My brothers and I went home for the holidays this year. When I was about to leave, my father insisted on carrying my suitcase and seeing me off. He stood in the living room
27、 for a long time as my taxi was leaving. (有的同学说,这里要补一句I felt my father was strong and straight like the tree he bought. (13词),以扣标题,可以,但要注意词数)Both my father and I were sad to say goodbye./ Both my father and I found it hard to say goodbye. (60词)Sample2 Since my mother died early, and we children work
28、 far from home, our father lives alone. This time we children went back to spend the holidays with our father. The early morning I was to leave, my father saw me off. He stood by the window watching my taxi leave. We both felt sad for my departure.(60词)III总结抓住事件发展的明线,注意人称,时态,概要顺序,把明线写出来。文体类型三:说明文Hum

32、 had been partly destroyed. The mitochondria, as Science Alert noted, are the “powerhouse of the cell (细胞)”. The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants.If this “powerhouse” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth.Whelan further explained to Science Daily, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30 percent.”Although the proce
