英语高考的看图写话方法
英语课
看图写话是NMET书面表达经常采用的形式,它是一种检查学生观察理解能力及运用语言能力的形式。考生必须根据所示图片或图片组,恰当地运用所学的词句表达一个完整的故事,近年NMET书面表达均采用图画提示的书面表达形式,要求考生根据图画所表现的内容写一篇100字左右的短文。那么,如何根据图画的内容,运用正确的语言和规定的篇幅来写好这类文章呢?
1.确定图画的内容要点
碰上这类试题,考生首先应仔细审题,看懂图片所表达的意思,根据图画内容整理出几个要点,再根据这些要点决定要采用的语言形式。如NMET 2000的高考试题中,书面表达部分题目是这样的:假设你是李华,在美国探亲,2000年2月8日清晨,你目击了一起交通事故。警察局让你写一份材料,报告当时所见情况,请根据图画写出报告,词数100左右,结尾已为你写好。
根据图画确定的内容要点是:
(1)2000年2月8日发生了一起交通事故
(2)我走在公园路
(3)一位老人从街的另一边公园里出来
(4)一辆黄车开过来在公园路转弯
(5)黄车撞倒了老人并向西开跑
(6)我记住了车牌号是AC864,并送老人去医院
2. 直截了当,开门见山
开门见山就是文章写什么,开头就说什么,直截了当,尽快入题,不要拐弯抹角,拖泥带水,如NMET 98,写的是参观农场,开头就是:Today we visited a farm.
3.10句话左右组成文章
书面表达要求用100词左右写出含六个要点左右的短文,所以从近几年的高考英语答案看,一般都以10个句子组成一篇文章。若用较少于8句话来表达,则句子容易复杂冗长,容易失控;若用多于10句话来表述,则句子零乱与琐碎,文章缺乏整体感。
请看NMET 2000年的书面表达范文(8句话):
(1)It was 1 7:15 on the morning of February8,2000. (2) I was walking along 2 Park Road towards 3 the east when an elderly 4 man came 5 out of the park on the other side 6 of the street.(3)Then I saw 7 a yellow car drive up Third street and make a right turn into Park Road.(4) The next moment the car hit the man while 8 he was crossing the road.(5) He fell 9 with a cry. (6)The car didn't stop but drove 10 at great speed 11 heading 12 west. (7) I noticed 13 the driver was young woman and the plate number was AC864. (8) About two minutes later 14 I stopped a passing car and took 15 the old man to the nearest hospital.
4.语言基本无误
(1)用有把握的句式
看图写话要用自己最熟悉、最有把握的词语和句型将题中所规定的内容要点加以表达,进而串联成文。在表达时句子宜短不宜长,应慎用分词或复合句,对拿不准的表达,可采用“回避”的方法,在不改变原有意思的前提下,改换另一种表达方式,但切忌中文式的英语,或根据英语语法人为地编造一些不地道的语言材料。如NMET 98高考作文是:5月3日,你参观了一个农场,请根据图画用英语写一篇日记。针对这篇文章的要点,我们就要使用以下有把握的句式,如:
①give somebody 16 a warm welcome
②show somebody around
③How glad somebody was to do something
④have fun (in) doing something
⑤say goodbye to somebody
其中,第一句式The farm workers gave 17 us a warm welcome. 我们也可以用其它表达法:The farm workers warmly welcomed us. 或The people in the farm received 18 us warmly等。
(2)注意用词表达得当
用词不当,会影响文章内容的正确表达。如:NMET 98的高考书面表达有如下要点:警察罚他们抓住下一个违章者。有的学生用He let us catch an other off 19 ender.这种表达就没有He made 20 us catch the next of fender. 来得恰当。因为文中是因违章被罚,站在路边抓其他违章者一事带有强迫性质,用“let”语意太轻,应改用make。
(3)重视英语虚词的使用
“看图写话”所提供的图画内容要点,通常是分幅叙述,相互之间没有逻辑的联系。这就要求考生按照合理的顺序,将句子连珠成串。在不连贯时,可适当使用一些过渡性的连接词,如and,then,however,besides,thus等,这样使人看上去脉络清晰,层次分明,文理通顺,意思连贯。如:NMET 97范文中使用连词and达到5次,NMET 98使用连词and达到3次,NMET 99使用连词and达到4次,NMET 2000使用连词and达到3次,then l次,but l次。
5.结尾自然有力
文章结尾要干净、利落,既不能拉杂,也不能草率,要显得自然,恰当得体。请看如表1所示的例子:
年份
文章结尾句
NMET 1992
At four o’clock, we said 21 goodbye and set 22 off for home.
NMET 1993
It was our brave 23 Ah 24 Fu who had 25 saved 26 my little sister.
NMET 1998
The time passed quickly. Before we knew it, we had to say goodbye to the workers.
NMET 1999
I hope 27 you come and see for yourself 28 some day.
NMET 2000
About two minutes later I stopped a passing car and took the old man to the nearest hospital.
