写作项目——Writing a sports story
本单元的写作任务是写一篇关于体育运动的故事,属于叙事记叙文的写作范畴。写作时应交代清楚记叙文的六要素,时间、地点不一定直接点明,可以通过文中的其他描述间接表示出来。事情的起因、经过和结果,是构成文章的主体部分,需尽可能写得具体、详尽,力求给读者留下完整而深刻的印象。记叙的方式可以灵活使用顺叙、插叙、倒叙等,尽量避免平铺直叙。
由教材学写作
一、学文体架构
叙事记叙文通常按照“起因—经过—结果”来构建故事:
二、学精彩开头
本文采用了倒叙手法,开头部分先描写了故事情节中最精彩的一幕“赛场夺冠”,然后用Only three years ago作为过渡引出正文,重新按照时间线索铺展故事情节。这种开头模式,既能使文章结构富有变化,引人入胜,又可以制造悬念,开篇先声夺人,激起读者追根溯源的兴趣,突出了文章的重点,避免了情节上的平铺直叙。
三、学经典结尾
文章最后一句在总结全文时,既承接上文故事的发展脉络,对未来作出展望“hope to be champions one day”,又在转折连词but的衔接下,语意一转,提出“my ultimate goal is to be an ice hockey teacher and help people learn to play this game”,将文章从“讲述个人从事冰球运动的故事”上升到“利用所学,帮助他人”的层面,升华了文章的主旨。
四、学情节铺展
故事的情节一般借助明暗双线来展开,明线通常指时间线,暗线指情感线。如本文先以three years ago引出三年前作者对冰上运动的恐惧(terrified),接着提到为了战胜恐惧报名滑冰俱乐部,学会滑冰(fearless);然后在教练的建议下接触冰球,并喜欢上这一运动(interested);最后是在冰球比赛中获胜(proud),此时情节发展到高潮,作者用“It made me feel like I could achieve anything”描述了自己的心理状态;文章结尾,作者满怀希望展望未来(hopeful)。双线叙事有助于打造情感层次丰富、行文结构紧凑的故事情节。
五、学靓丽表达
文章第四句使用了不定式短语To deal with this作目的状语,点明作者参加滑冰俱乐部的目的。同时,this指代上一句的内容,不定式短语在文中起到承上启下的作用。文章最后一句是由but连接的并列句,其表达的转折关系更能体现作者立足现在、展望未来的积极心态。

参考范文:
At first, I was not good at sports and playing basketball was always my weakness. But my father encouraged me all the time. With his help, I kept playing basketball every day after school. Sometimes I was so tired that I really wanted to give up. But my father kept telling me that I could make it. No matter what kind of difficulty I faced, I tried my best to carry on. Now I do much better in playing basketball. I'm very proud of myself and I'm ready for any challenge in the future.
写作素材储备
1.Make efforts
Inspired by what my father said, I decided to work toward my goal. I made a much tighter schedule from then on. I practiced hard for an hour every day to improve the basic skills and strength. To my delight, I was finally recognized by the coach, who said that I showed great talent in sports.
父亲的话激励着我,我决定朝着我的目标努力。从那时起,我制定了一个更加紧凑的时间表。我每天努力练习一个小时,以提高基本技能和自身的力量。令我高兴的是,我终于得到了教练的认可,他说我在体育方面表现出了出色的天赋。
2.Achieve success
It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. I raised my head to see my coach screaming hysterically. My eyes followed her pointing finger and I couldn't believe what I saw. The other swimmers had just reached the halfway point of the pool! That day, at age 15, I broke the national 17/18-year-old 400-freestyle record.
就在那时,我听到了周围的掌声和欢呼声。我抬头看到教练在声嘶力竭地呐喊。我的眼睛向她手指的方向看去,我简直不敢相信我所看到的。其他游泳运动员才刚刚到达游泳池的中点!那一天,15岁的我打破了17/18岁400米自由泳的全国纪录。
