故事寫作(Story Writing)的基本結構是由——起(Opening)、承(Development)、轉(Climax)、合(Resolution)——四大元素組成。寫作要求上,情節的鋪排最重要,其次是做到生動的敘述。寫作時則可參考以下一些寫作提示(Writing Tips):
1.Story Writing多為記敘文章(Narrative Writing)或虛構文章(Imaginative Writing)。
- Narrative Writing的常見主題如下:
年輕人生活:
約會(dating)、活動(camping, go toconcert, picnicking, partying, etc.)、校園生活(school life)、家庭生活(how to celebrate an important anniversary of your parents)等。
最難忘經驗:
最頑皮的(most naughty)、最有趣的(most amusing) 、最尷尬的( m o s tembarrassing)、最獲啟發的(most inspiring)、最大的教訓(t h ehardest lesson)等的事。
公眾地方見聞:
例如要求記敘在公園、公共交通工具、旅遊景點目睹的不快事;又或是令人難忘的正面事情,如遇到善心人或一個精採的大型節目等。
- Imaginative Writing考的是幻想力,該創作一個圓滿的結局,所以結局不要說成是一場夢。
4.文法方面,人人皆知在故事中多用Past Tense(過去式),所以要好好溫習四種過去式的用法。
- 要寫一篇好的記敘文,必須準確描述每個動作,有關動作的詞彙包括吃、喝、笑、喊、行和說等。
以下是一些可令文章變得生動有趣的詞彙或短語,並附以例句,以供參考:
