故事写作(Story Writing)的基本结构是由——起(Opening)、承(Development)、转(Climax)、合(Resolution)——四大元素组成。写作要求上,情节的铺排最重要,其次是做到生动的叙述。写作时则可参考以下一些写作提示(Writing Tips):
1.Story Writing多为记叙文章(Narrative Writing)或虚构文章(Imaginative Writing)。
- Narrative Writing的常见主题如下:
年轻人生活:
约会(dating)、活动(camping, go toconcert, picnicking, partying, etc.)、校园生活(school life)、家庭生活(how to celebrate an important anniversary of your parents)等。
最难忘经验:
最顽皮的(most naughty)、最有趣的(most amusing) 、最尴尬的( m o s tembarrassing)、最获启发的(most inspiring)、最大的教训(t h ehardest lesson)等的事。
公众地方见闻:
例如要求记叙在公园、公共交通工具、旅游景点目睹的不快事;又或是令人难忘的正面事情,如遇到善心人或一个精采的大型节目等。
- Imaginative Writing考的是幻想力,该创作一个圆满的结局,所以结局不要说成是一场梦。
4.文法方面,人人皆知在故事中多用Past Tense(过去式),所以要好好温习四种过去式的用法。
- 要写一篇好的记叙文,必须准确描述每个动作,有关动作的词汇包括吃、喝、笑、喊、行和说等。
以下是一些可令文章变得生动有趣的词汇或短语,并附以例句,以供参考:
