本单元的写作任务是写一篇人物传记,属于记叙文。传记是记载人物生平事迹的一种文体,大多按照时间、空间或逻辑顺序。传记写作多采用倒叙法,先对人物进行简单介绍,然后介绍其出生、成长过程、主要事件和成就、思想、品德和情操等,最后进行评论,表达作者的看法。传记一般不虚构,纪实性是传记的基本要求。
一、格式
此类文章以人物为中心组织材料,围绕这个人物写一件或几件事,一般按时间顺序来写。写人物传记时要重点描述其出生年月、主要事迹以及人们的评价等。文章一般可按照“总——分——总”的结构来写作。
二、时态
因描写的事情都是过去发生的事,所以通常用一般过去时。介绍他人的经历和事迹应用第三人称。
三、写正文时应注意的问题
1.围绕一个主题来展开;
2.若无法用已学语言知识来表达某种意思,可采用“同义转换法”;
3.结尾最好用一句话来总结自己的感想或体会。
[常用表达]
1.be born in出生在
