She has short and straight hair like a boy’s.‎ He is a handsome young man with bright eyes and broad shoulders.‎ 以上例句都是用于描述人的好句子，应首先学会灵活套用。长此以往，潜移默化，同学们的表达自会在不知不觉中达到“即便信手拈来，却也恰到好处”的境界。‎ 写人的记叙文当然离不开记事，但两者的侧重点有所不同。记人者，以人为主导，所写的事都是为衬托人物服务的，所以，记述时，外貌的描写、性格的刻画等等，都要服务于人物，不可喧宾夺主、本末倒置。‎ ‎【写作示例】‎ 请根据下面所提供的资料，写一篇介绍潘玮柏(Will Pan)的英语短文。‎ 潘玮柏，当今著名歌手，英俊潇洒，身高1.74米，1980年8月6日在上海出生。会汉语和英语两种语言。他喜欢篮球，最喜欢的音乐是Hip Hop、R&B和华语流行音乐(Chinese Pop Music)。他为人随和、活泼好动、笑容灿烂。他的愿望就是能够成为“super idol”(超级偶像)。‎ 注意：1.可根据内容要点适当增加细节以使行文连贯；‎ ‎2．词数：120左右。‎ ‎【写作要领】‎ 一、审题要点 ‎1．体裁：记叙文；‎ ‎2．时态：一般现在时；‎ ‎3．人称：第三人称。‎ 二、内容要点 ‎1．潘玮柏的概况描述；‎ ‎2．他的业余爱好及性情；‎ ‎3．他的愿望。‎ ‎【金点模板】‎ 一、开头 参考句式：‎ ‎1．Will Pan, who was born on...，is a．..‎ ‎2．Will Pan, one of the...，was born...‎ ‎3．Born on...，Will Pan is a．..‎ ‎4．Will Pan was born...and he is one of the...‎ 二、主体 参考句式：‎ ‎1．He can speak...as well as...‎ ‎2．He can not only...but also...‎ ‎3．He likes...most and dislikes...‎ ‎4．He is fond of...and...‎ ‎5．Everyone likes him very much.‎ ‎6．He is very popular among young men.‎ 为使各项内容衔接自然，可以适当添加过渡词。如：‎ as well as；not only...but also... ；though；although... ；however；but...‎ 三、结尾 参考句式：‎ ‎1．Wish he will succeed!‎ ‎2．Wish his dream come true!‎ ‎3．Good luck to him!‎ ‎4．Wish him a fantastic future!‎ ‎【范文点评】‎ Will Pan ① Will Pan, one of the most famous pop stars now in China, was born on August 6, 1980 in Shanghai. He is about 1.74 meters tall and is a handsome young man.‎ ② Will Pan can speak English as well as Chinese. His most favorite songs are Hip Hop, R & B, and the Chinese Pop Music and he himself ‎ sings many good songs of this kind. During his free time, he is fond of taking part in sports, and his favorite sport is basketball.③Though he is famous, he is easy to get along with. He is lovely and actively.④He always wears a big smile on his face, so more and more young men and women become his fans.‎ Pan has many wishes.⑤ To become a super idol becomes the biggest one of them.‎ ‎⑥Wish his dream come true!‎ 点评：‎ ‎①one of the most...作Will Pan的同位语使句子灵活。‎ ‎②as well as用得好，也可用not only...but also...。‎ ‎③转折词使用得当。‎ ‎④wear a big smile表示带着微笑，使句子增色很多。‎ ‎⑤用动词不定式作主语避免了文章句式的单调。‎ ‎⑥加上祝愿语使得文章活泼生动。‎ ‎【类题尝试】‎ 请用英语写一篇120词左右的短文，介绍一下该人物，要求根据所给信息作适当发挥，且须包括以下三部分内容：‎ ‎1．对该人物的简单介绍；‎ ‎2．喜欢该人物的理由；‎ ‎3．从该人物身上得到的启示。‎ ‎ ‎ Thomas Edison inventor；‎ creative；diligent；‎ full of wisdom ‎“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety nine percent perspiration.”‎ ‎___________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________‎ One possible version：‎ Thomas Edison Born in America, Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.‎ I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1,000 inventions.‎ In his life time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname “the Wizard of Melo Park”．He was also ‎ so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.‎ What impresses me most is his famous saying, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninetynine percent perspiration.” Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.‎ 高考真题链接 Bear is a stray(流浪的) dog and he was found on the streets with several wounds and injuries.
