第一講 記敘文：如何寫人

　　一、寫作指導

　　高考英語基礎寫作中的寫人側重人物的介紹，可以用第一人稱(如寫求職信)，也可以用第三人稱，時態常常用一般現在時和一般過去時，具體的人稱和時態要依據寫作的要求來確定。寫作過程中要注意以下幾個方面的問題：

　　1．人物寫作通常需要介紹人物的姓名、年齡、外貌、學歷、經歷、專業、愛好、特長、事跡、性格等多個方面，但英語基礎寫作需要嚴格按照寫作要求來寫，包括所給的全部信息點，既不能遺漏，也不能隨意添加。

　　2．對題目所給的信息要進行適當重組，安排好寫作順序，突出重點信息。重點信息通常是寫作的目的所在，比如求職要重點突出學歷、經歷，新聞報道要重點突出事跡，介紹自己的老師、朋友要突出他們的特點，等等。

　　3．正確運用描寫人物的詞匯和句型。

　　4．注意運用正確的時態。描寫人物的外貌、性格、興趣等常用一般現在時，而描寫人物的出生、教育背景、經歷、事跡常用一般過去時。
