這篇文章的提綱是圖畫作文另一種非常典型的提綱,在描述圖畫后分別給出該現象(或問題)的原因及其解決辦法。這里在提綱中雖沒有出現interpret the meaning(闡釋含義)的字樣,實際上這個步驟是不可少的,但可以做得極為簡潔。
Sample:
In this picture we are surprised to see a group of fat children who want to lose weight at a dieting center. We can’t help asking such a question: why are there so many overweighted young children in present society?
In my belief, many reasons contribute to this undesirable result, but three of them play the dominant role. In the first place, with the development of national economy, people’s living level becomes higher and higher. Grandparents and parents devote all their love to the young children, who consequently often take in much more nutrition than necessary. In the second place, more and more young boys and girls are even addicted to foreign snacks, which contain too much fat and thus do great harm to the heart and the vessels. Last but by no means the least, pressure from teachers, parents and the whole society often leaves little time for small children to take part in physical exercises.
To solve this worrying problem, all of us should take immediate and effective measures. First, a balanced and healthy diet is often the most important factor in the making of a strong body. In this aspect, teachers and parents should do their jobs. Second, exercises should become part of their daily life—once children get used to sports, they will find it not only beneficial but also interesting.
All of us have realized the children are the future of our nation, and we should also realize that healthy minds always dwell in healthy bodies. To fulfill this goal, all of us should work hard.
點評:
該文章仍然是四個段落。第一段非常引人注目,只用了一句話便完成了對圖畫的描寫,還加入了表達作者心情的部分(be surprised to see)。段落中的第二句話非常關鍵,是將圖畫總結為一個大家都該來關注的社會問題——兒童的肥胖問題。第二句話的作用相當于對畫圖人意圖的測度,只不過由于提綱的要求,這里沒有單獨成段,而是放到了第一段。
第二段與第三段嚴格按照提綱來寫,分別寫原因和解決辦法,段落的首句都是非常精彩的模板句。第二段首句的寫法請大家用心揣摩——既顯得全面(句子的前半部分),又不失重點(句子的后半部分)。該段之后分為三點來寫,第一點兩句話由淺入深,脈絡清晰。先寫隨著國民經濟的發展,人民生活水平提高了——這句話是常常用到的經典句子,大家應熟練掌握。然后寫祖父母和父母將愛都傾注在孩子們身上,導致孩子們常常營養過剩。該句中大家應首先掌握非限制性定語從句的寫法,該從句的拓展性非常好,能避免連寫句(runon sentence)這樣的常見錯誤。之后大家應學習詞組devote...to...和more than necessary的用法。第二點講越來越多的孩子沉溺于洋快餐。注意句中be addicted to和非限制性定語從句的用法。句中有一個難詞thus(副詞),這里表示結果。第三點講述了孩子缺乏鍛煉的原因——該句使用了特殊的句型結構,有助于我們拓展思路,注意學習leave little/no time for someone to do something的結構。
第三段分兩點來說解決問題的辦法。第一點說平衡健康的飲食是至關重要的,這句話中的making是個閃光點,表示“造就……的過程”。后面一句中的do ones jobs等于take on ones responsibility。第二點中使用了破折號,后面是時間狀語從句,注意get used to(習慣于)和not only...but also...的用法。句子中出現了part的用法,注意這里不能加冠詞,否則不僅不能加分,還要扣分。再舉一例,大家細細體會:
Learn the phrase by heart until it becomes part of you.
這是表達效果很強的用法,文中的句子表示體育鍛煉應成為他們日常生活的一部分,意思是成為了一種習慣。上面這句話表示將該詞組熟記以至于永遠熟練掌握。
最后一段使用了強勢的推導方式,先找到對方(讀者)認同的基本觀點(孩子是國家的未來),而后推導出文中的重要觀點(健康的心靈存在于健康的體魄)。第二句將目的狀語放在句首,我們要做的工作放在后面,非常簡潔。
心得:
對提綱的把握非常關鍵,我們應該做到看到提綱后立即對文章全文的構造有個全面的想法。
末段呼應前文的方式多種多樣,不一定是嚴格地將文章中所述的思想再簡單地重復一遍。
對于文章中的詞組和句型,好的學習方法是將它們摘錄下來,反復地進行多感官操練(眼、耳、口、手、心并用),這樣我們的學習效率就能大大提高了。
