一、文體解讀
新聞報(bào)道是記敘文的一種,其特點(diǎn)是以事實(shí)為依據(jù),對事件發(fā)生的過程給以明確的、實(shí)事求是的報(bào)道。寫新聞報(bào)道要確保事件的真實(shí)性和準(zhǔn)確性,語言要簡潔精煉、通俗易懂。
英語新聞報(bào)道通常包括四個部分:
1. 標(biāo)題:標(biāo)題要提煉報(bào)道內(nèi)容的“精華”以吸引讀者閱讀,標(biāo)題應(yīng)當(dāng)簡潔明了。
2. 導(dǎo)語:導(dǎo)語是報(bào)道開頭的第一段或第一句話,導(dǎo)語簡明扼要地揭示出報(bào)道的核心內(nèi)容。
3. 主體:主體是報(bào)道的主要部分,它用充足的事實(shí)表現(xiàn)主題,是對導(dǎo)語內(nèi)容的進(jìn)一步展開和闡釋,使報(bào)道更加具體可信。
4. 結(jié)語:通常是最后一句話或最后一段話,對全文內(nèi)容作概括性的總結(jié)或?qū)π侣勈录陌l(fā)展趨勢做出預(yù)測。
英文新聞報(bào)道的時(shí)態(tài)以一般過去時(shí)為主,人稱通常使用第三人稱。

A terrible storm hit / struck... 一場可怕的風(fēng)暴襲擊了……

三、實(shí)戰(zhàn)演練

1. 時(shí)間與地點(diǎn):4月10日,大青山 (Daqing Mountain);
2. 活動的過程;
3. 你對于這次活動的評論。
注意:1. 詞數(shù)100左右;2. 可適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié),以使行文連貫。
聯(lián)想詞匯:
encourage sb. to do sth. 鼓勵某人做某事; take outdoor exercise 進(jìn)行戶外運(yùn)動;a mountain-climbing activity 登山活動;take part in 參加;set out for the top 出發(fā)去山頂;in high spirits 興高采烈;all the way 一路上;fall behind 落在后面;offer help 主動幫忙;be bathed in sunshine 沐浴在陽光下;be of great benefit to sb. 對某人有很大的益處;promote friendship 促進(jìn)友誼
高級句式:

2. 沐浴在陽光下,我們高興地跳著,歡呼著。
Bathed in sunshine, we jumped and cheered with joy. (現(xiàn)在分詞短語作時(shí)間狀語)
3. 這次活動使我們受益很多。
The activity was of great benefit to us. (be of great benefit to sb.)
4. 活動不僅讓我們親近大自然,還讓我們從繁重的學(xué)業(yè)中放松,同時(shí)也促進(jìn)了我們之間的友誼。
Not only did it get us close to nature and give us relaxation from heavy school work, but also it promoted the friendship among us. (not only... but also... 連接兩個并列分句, 第一個分句要部分倒裝)
妙筆成篇:
We Climbed Daqing Mountain!
In order to encourage the students to take outdoor exercise, our school organized a mountain-climbing activity on April 10. Hundreds of us took part in it.
It was a nice day. At 8:00 a.m., we gathered at the foot of Daqing Mountain and set out for the top in high spirits. All the way we were chatting, singing and laughing, enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. When some fell behind, others would come and offer help. About 2 hours later, we all reached the top. Bathed in sunshine, we jumped and cheered with joy.
The activity was of great benefit to us. Not only did it get us close to nature and give us relaxation from heavy school work, but also it promoted the friendship among us. What a wonderful time!
