在写作中,如果没有丰富优美的语言,即使你有最精妙的思想,也只能是茶壶里煮饺子——倒不出来。丰富的语言,在一个人的学习、生活和工作中起着极其重要的作用。语言不仅是交际工具,也是思维工具。难以想象,一个语言贫乏的人,他的思维会得到高度发展。因此,丰富我们的语言,无疑是发展我们思维的一种有效手段。
我们写作文,就是要将自己的思想呈现在文章中。但是要写好作文,让自己的语言更生动,文章更有感染力,离不开平时阅读过程中对好词、佳句的积累。英语新课标非常重视好词佳句的积累,特别强调通过阅读来积累。为此,我们以人教版和牛津版高中英语教材为例,同时精选了一些课外报刊中的佳句,供大家品读、赏析和模仿,并以心理描写、环境描写、动作描写和特殊句式等方面对这些佳句进行分类。
