宣传册
生活中各种宣传册随处可见,例如:产品宣传、节目介绍、旅游指南、操作指南、生活常识宣传,还有各种自然灾害预防和救援知识宣传等。
这类小册子属于指导性说明文,旨在为读者提供未知的知识和原理,或使读者阅读后对文章所阐述的事理有所了解,或使读者掌握解决问题的方法。知识性和科学性是这类说明文的主要特点,是一种实用性很强的文体。
1. 在写指导性说明文时要注意以下几个方面
(1)正确运用时态。说明文的时态常用一般现在时。
(2)突出写作重点。在写作时,要抓住对象的本质特征,重点描述,做到“突出重点”。
(3)优化文章结构。可采用“总一分”、“总一分一总”等结构以使文章层次分明、条理清晰。如在文章开头先对需要说明的对象作总体介绍,然后通过举例子、做比较、列数字等方法进行具体阐述。也可以附上图形、图片或简笔画等。
(4)选好说明顺序。根据说明对象的不同安排,可采用时间、空间、逻辑等说明顺序,使文章通顺、连贯,给人一种一目了然的感觉。
(5)体现文体特点。说明文的语言要简洁、准确而且富有逻辑性。在写作中可适当穿插一些祈使句、省略句等句式结构。
