如何写剧本
剧本是一种文学形式,主要由台词和舞
台指示组成。 其中,舞台指示是以剧作者的
口气来写的叙述性的文字说明,包括剧中人
物,剧情发生的时间、地点,服装、道具、布景
以及人物的表情、动作、上下场等。 舞台指示
通常用一般现在时或现在进行时。
假设你校英语俱乐部将举办英语短剧表
演晚会。 请根据“铁杵磨针”的典故,用英语
写一段剧本。
注意:1.
词数 150 左右;
2.
可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
参考词汇:打磨
burnish
【审题导引】
本写作任务要求写一段英语戏剧剧本。
我们可将剧本分成以下几部分来写:
①背景:交代故事中的人物、地点等方面
的信息(可以旁白的形式给出)。
②问题或冲突:人物之间存在的正反两种
力量的较量(李白要向老妇人询问基本情况)。
③高潮:人物之间直接面对矛盾,使剧情
达到高潮(老妇人抓住李白的心理活动并讲
道理)。
④结局:解决矛盾及消除障碍,结束冲突
(李白理解老妇人的寓意,决心改正)。

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,
使之构成一个完整的故事。
I
was
responding
to
a
call
from
a
small
brick
flat
in
a
quiet
part
of
town.
I
assumed
I
was
being
sent
to
pick
up
some
party-goers,or
someone
who
had
just
had
a
fight
with
a
lover,
or
a
worker
heading
to
an
early
shift
at
some
factory
for
the
industrial
part
of
town.
When
I
arrived
at
2:
30
a. m. ,the
building
was
dark
except
for
a
single
light
in
a
ground
floor
window.
Under
such
circumstances,many
drivers
just
honk(按喇叭)
once
or
twice,wait
a
minute, then
drive
away.
But
I
had
seen
too
many
weak
people
who
depended
on
taxis
as
their
only
means
of
transportation.
Unless
a
situation
smelled
of
danger,I
al-
ways
went
to
the
door.
This
passenger
might
be
someone
who
needs
my
assistance,I
reasoned
to
myself.
So
I
walked
to
the
door
and
knocked.
“ Just
a
mi-
nute,”
answered
a
frail,elderly
voice.
I
could
hear
something
being
dragged
across
the
floor.
After
a
long
pause, the
door
opened.
A
small
woman
in
her
eighties
stood
before
me.
She
was
wearing
a
print
dress
and
a
pillbox
hat, like
somebody
out
of
a
1940s
movie.
By
her
side
was
a
small
nylon
suitcase.
The
apartment
looked
as
if
no
one
had
lived
in
it
for
years.
All
the
furniture
was
co-
vered
with
sheets.
There
were
no
clocks
on
the
walls,no
equipment
on
the
counters.
In
the
cor-
ner
was
a
cardboard
box
filled
with
photos
and
glassware.
“Would
you
carry
my
bag
out
to
the
car?
”
she
said.
I
took
the
suitcase
to
the
cab,then
re-
turned
to
assist
the
woman.
She
took
my
arm,
and
we
walked
slowly
toward
the
cab.
She
kept
thanking
me
for
my
kindness.
“Its
nothing,”
I
told
her.
“ I
just
try
to
treat
my
passengers
the
way
I
would
want
my
mother
treated. ”

Paragraph
1:
Having
given
me
an
address,a
hospice,she
asked,“Could
you
drive
through
downtown?”
Asked
why
we
didnt
take
the
shortest
way,the
small
woman
told
me
it
was
the
last
chance
for
her
to
visit
the
city.
We
drove
through
the
neighborhood
where
she
and
her
husband
had
lived.
Besides,she
asked
me
to
slow
in
front
of
a
par-
ticular
building
or
corner
and
would
sit
staring
into
the
darkness,
saying
nothing.
At
last,she
said
she
was
tired
and
wanted
to
go
to
the
hospice.
Paragraph
2:
We
drove
in
silence
to
the
address
she
had
given
me,and
it
was
a
low
building,where
the
old
lady
would
live
the
rest
of
her
life.
Two
nurses
who
must
have
been
expecting
her
came
out
to
the
cab
as
soon
as
we
pulled
up.
I
opened
the
trunk
and
took
the
suit-
case
to
the
door
and
the
woman
was
already
seated
in
a
wheel-
chair.
When
she
asked
how
much
she
owed
me,without
thinking,I
said
nothing
and
bent
to
give
her
a
hug.
It
was
my
assistance
that
helped
one
of
weak
people
realize
her
wish.
