写作手法
Lost Identity
①The heavy snow last winter caused long delays at Heathrow Airport.②One afternoon, hundreds of unlucky passengers, who had been expecting to board a flight to New York, were told it had been cancelled.One unfortunate agent was dealing with all the passengers, when an angry man, who had been standing in line for some time, pushed his way to the front.
③“I want a first class seat on this flight, now!” demanded the man angrily.
The young agent replied politely, “I'm sorry, sir, but I can't ignore these people.They were here first.If you could wait your turn, I'll see what I can do.”
④This did not please the man.He screamed at the young agent so that the passengers waiting in line behind him could hear, “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?”
⑤The agent smiled, stood up and spoke loudly,“Attention, please! We have a passenger here WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS.If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to the gate.”

[注意事项]
1.要把握住记叙文的六个要素,即时间(when),地点(where),人物(who),事件(what),原因(why)和过程(how)。
2.要把握故事性记叙文的结构。在文章开头要交代故事发生的时间、地点和人物,然后写事件的原因及发展过程,最后写结果。并且要有一条线索贯穿全文,使整篇文章融为一体。
请根据下面的情节,展开合理的想象,写一篇80词左右的幽默故事:
杰克是一所学院的足球教练,他竭力想物色好球员。但是好球员学业不佳,院方不愿录取。
一天,杰克带着一位优秀的年轻球员去见院长,希望院方同意他免试入学。院长说:“那我最好先问他几个问题。”然后他问那个学生:“那么,五乘七等于多少?”学生想了很久,然后回答说:“……”
院长摊开双手失望地看了看杰克。可是杰克认真地说,“噢,录取他吧,先生!他的答案只比正确答案多……”
[谋篇布局]
第一段:介绍故事发生的背景;
第二段:介绍故事发生的过程;
第三段:介绍故事幽默出乎意料的结果。
