概要写作
[对应学生用书P131]
概要写作,简言之就是对所读过的文章进行简要概括,写出文章的中心大意,也可称之为摘要。写概要时,读者要把文章的具体信息用一些具有概括功能的词和句表述出来,而不是抄袭文章的原句,更不是把细节性信息作为中心,而是要通过对文章中的单词、词组和句子进行合理转换,对文章的具体信息进行概括,再用合适的语言表述出来。概要写作是阅读理解和书面表达的有机结合体,是阅读理解和书面表达的沟通桥梁。

The benefits do not end there.Sport is a character builder.While doing sports,we may feel exhausted,but it trains our willpower.To win a game we have to be determined.To go beyond others or ourselves,we have to push our limits and overcome all difficulties.We come to know that there is always room for improvement.Then,failures are also common in sports.We learn to adapt to new conditions,to judge our weaknesses and to gather strength from our defeats.The fastmoving nature of most sports also helps us to become quickminded.
By joining in team sports,we learn to work with others.In sport fields,one person's goal takes second place to a team goal.Every team member is working towards a common goal.To achieve it,cooperation is a must.Members must work as a team and achieve what they want most even if that means someone has to give up his or her interests for the team.For example,a cyclist may take the leading position for half of the game and then drop out so as to ensure the victory of their team.
