Period Four Writing—Non-chronological writing:
newspaper article
本单元的话题是“新闻”,是对最近发生的重要而新鲜的事件进行报道或评述。新闻报道是应用文的一种。一般分为四部分:标题、导语、主体、结语。
1.新闻报道的第一句往往是全文的中心句(topic sentence),因此这个句子中常包含四大元素:what(事件),when(时间),where(地点)和who(人物),而在下文则要补充事件的过程和细节,往往包括why(原因)和how(具体过程)等。
2.新闻报道的关键在于语言客观平实,不必追求过分花哨的词汇和过于复杂的句型。
3.时态常用过去时和将来时。
1.It’s reported that.../As is reported.../According to the report...
2.It’s said that...
3.It’s likely that...
4.It’s a great chance for...
