写作技法指导
(一)品参考范文
Sunday 12 April
I was lucky enough to be chosen as a visitor to the space station! After an exciting blast into orbit, I couldn't wait to look through the space station windows into deep space!You can imagine my disappointment when I didn't see many stars.The astronauts laughed and explained to me that we were still in the sunlight, so of course we couldn't see much, because the light was too bright.Shortly after, we passed into Earth's shadow, and I looked out of the window to see the most amazing number of stars! I felt very excited! This is the most unforgettable experience on the station.Soon after that, it was time for dinner.The thing I noticed most was not the zero gravity measures for eating, but the fact that the food didn't have much taste.And my nose felt blocked.It turns out these things are related, because in zero gravity, your face swells up more.
After that, it was time to get strapped into bed.It was a bit hard to sleep in zero gravity — my arms kept floating away, and I woke up to see them right in front of my face, instead of lying on the bed like they would on Earth.Despite even simple things being harder to do, I really enjoyed being in zero gravity, and I loved being able to float around instead of having to walk.It's a pity my stay on the station was so short.It would have been great to stay longer and learn more about life in space!
(二)根据参考范文,可总结出该类文体的框架结构如下:
(三)由范文学写作
1.学行文逻辑
(1)范文按照时间顺序展开,从被选为太空站访客开始,到进入太空站、观察星空、用餐,再到就寝,每个事件都按照实际发生的顺序进行叙述,使得整个故事流畅连贯。
(2)范文中通过主人公的情感变化来引导读者进入情境。一开始的兴奋(被选为访客、期待看到星空),到失望(未能在阳光下看到星星),再到惊讶和兴奋(进入地球阴影后看到繁星),最后是享受(在零重力环境中的新奇体验)和遗憾(停留时间太短)。这种情感波动增强了故事的吸引力和真实感。
2.学衔接过渡
范文从开头到结尾,各个部分之间的衔接非常自然,没有明显的跳跃或突兀之感。尤其是作者巧妙地使用了过渡词来连接不同的段落或句子,使得文本更加连贯。例如,“Shortly after”“After that”“Despite”等词语在文中起到了很好的过渡作用,使得文本更加顺畅。
3.学亮点表达
(1)亮点词汇
①第一段第二句使用了blast into orbit,形象地描绘了火箭发射时的强烈冲击力和速度感,而into orbit则准确指出了火箭的最终目的地——进入轨道。第三句使用了disappointment,准确地表达了作者未能立即看到星星时的失落情绪,为后文的转折做了铺垫。第四句和第五句分别使用了sunlight 和 Earth's shadow,形成了鲜明的对比,前者解释了为何看不到星星,后者则预示着星星即将出现,推动了情节的发展。第五句还使用了形容词amazing,强烈地表达了作者看到星星时的震撼和惊喜之情。最后一句使用了词组swells up揭示了失重环境下人体的一种生理反应,增加了文章的科普性和趣味性。
②第二段首句中的短语get strapped into bed以及第三句中的float around都生动地描绘了作者在失重环境下能够自由漂浮的奇妙体验,展现了太空生活的独特魅力。第三句还使用了表示转折的介词Despite,表达了作者即使在面对困难时,也依然享受失重环境带来的乐趣,展现了作者积极乐观的态度。
(2)亮点句式
①第一段第二句使用了感叹句,表达了作者对太空探索的迫切期待和兴奋之情,同时让读者能够感受到作者当时的激动心情。
②第一段最后一句使用了because引导的原因状语从句,解释了食物味道变淡和鼻子感觉堵塞的原因——与失重环境有关,增加了文章的科学性和趣味性。
③第二段最后一句使用了虚拟语气,表达了对不能长时间留在太空站学习更多太空生活知识的遗憾,增强了句子的情感色彩和感染力。
Shortly_after_entering_orbit,_I gazed out of the window in awe.After_that,_I adapted to zero gravity, in spite of feeling a bit disoriented at first.
进入轨道后不久,我敬畏地凝视着窗外。在那之后,我适应了零重力,尽管一开始感觉有点迷失方向。

根据下列提示,写一篇关于在太空喝水的日志:
1.在太空飞行期间喝水对我来说是个大考验。尽管有点费力,但我还是感觉很奇妙。
2.在失重的情况下,一杯装满水的杯子会浮动起来。我跟着水杯漂浮,大约花了十分钟的时间才把水喝光了。
3.事实上,我最喜欢的是每天数小时的锻炼。
注意:1.写作词数应为80左右;
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
根据括号内的汉语提示补全短文
