■写作项目——Write a Survey Report
本单元的写作任务是写一篇调查报告。调查报告属于应用文的范畴,是一种比较正式的写作文体,旨在将调查结果真实、详细、有条理地呈现出来。有关调查报告的考查常以图表作文的形式呈现,并要求将图表信息以文字的形式进行转述。调查报告常采用三段式的写作模式:首段进行简要的介绍,点明调查报告的主题;第二段就调查结果进行分析; 第三段得出结论并发表个人看法。
由教材学写作
一、学文体架构
阅读课文,总结该文体的框架结构如下:
二、学要点构思
调查报告的主体部分需要详细呈现调查的过程、所采用的方法、获取的数据以及对数据的分析和讨论。写作时可以采用举例、比较、对比、类比、分类、分析、说明和叙述的方法,按一定的顺序进行说明,如时间顺序、空间顺序、逻辑顺序或认识顺序等,选择具体的特点和细节来说明。如课文第二、三段分别从市民的环保意识和良好行为以及发现的问题与不足两方面介绍了调查的情况,其中在第二段中通过举例来说明人们回收利用了一些废弃物并且减少了对一次性包装盒的使用,第三段中采用正反对比的手法,描述调查中的具体问题,突出调查报告的写作特点。
三、学语言特色
1.调查报告在说明样本比例时,常用不同的表达方式来进行定量表述,如课文中使用as high as 96%、 Very few (4%)、 Around 90%、 more than two thirds (70%)、 the majority等来说明被调查的人们在保护环境方面所采取的具体行动的比例,使调查报告更客观、更具有说服力。
2.根据图表内容写的调查报告,常用As the diagram shows来说明调查内容的真实可靠,增强调查报告的可信度。
[提能训练] (完成句子)
①As_the_diagram_shows,_ people encounter various difficulties when learning a new language.
如图所示,人们在学习一门新语言时会遇到各种各样的困难。
②The recycling rate of this city is_as_high_as_95%,_which makes the environment much better.
这个城市的回收率高达 95%,这使得环境好多了。
③The proportion of people using green transportation is_more_than_two_thirds when the air is clear.
当空气清新时,使用绿色交通的人口比例超过三分之二。
