记叙文主要是记叙所发生的事情和经历。常见的形式有:故事、日记、新闻报道、游记等。记叙文的写作要点为:
1. 交代记叙文的六大要素,即时间(when)、地点(where)、人物(who)、事件(what)、原因(why)、结果(how),六者缺一不可。
2. 事件的发生可以按照时间或空间的先后顺序进行叙述。
3. 记叙文所记的都是过去发生的事,因此一般多采用过去时态。
Last week, our family had an outing in the mountain.(第一段,交代必要的背景,如故事涉及的人物、时间、地点。)
At first, on the top of the mountain, we enjoyed the fascinating view and had a picnic. Then, ________________. At last, ________________.(第二段,交代故事情节,可使用表示时间或空间的连接词,使文章连贯。)
We enjoyed the change from our busy life in the city.(第三段,表达事情的结果或感想、愿望,起到扣题或点题的作用。视写作要点及需要进行取舍。)

An Unhappy Experience
My junior high school life is colorful and I am happy in these three years. I made many friends and learned quite a lot of ① knowledge. However, there is still an unhappy experience that I can't forget forever. ② From the experience, I knew that studying hard is the key to success. ③
I wasn't interested in math in Grade 8, so I didn't work hard on it. I copied my friend's answers in a math exam to get good grades, because I didn't want to let my parents down. ④ Unluckily, I was found by my math teacher. To my surprise, ⑤ he didn't say anything and just asked me to his office after the exam. He smiled and said one sentence “I believe you!” After that, I worked hard and math is my best subject now.
赏析
① 限定词quite a lot of意为“许多”,既可修饰可数名词也可修饰不可数名词。
② 转折词however引出话题,there be句型,以及that引导的定语从句的运用都是本文的得分亮点。
③ 本句交代感悟,其中that引导的从句作knew的宾语,studying hard是动名词短语作主语,to success作key的后置定语。
④ because引导从句解释作弊的原因,其中词组let sb. down意为“使某人失望”,比常见的disappoint更加高级、地道。
⑤ 短语to one's surprise表达了“我”的惊讶之情,为下文的改变做了铺垫。
