Section ⅤWriting 概要写作——介绍一个地方

本单元的写作项目是概要写作，对一篇介绍某个地方的文章用简洁的语言概括原文的主题。这种文体通常用第三人称，时态以一般现在时为主。在写作此类文章时，我们要注意的是，在概要中不要照搬原文语句，而要用自己的语言，如恰当的同义词或同义句来代替原文的关键词、主旨句或段落中心大意。

在写作时要注意以下几点：

1．理清原文结构

了解文章的结构可以更好地为理解中心意思服务。

2．抓中心词和大意

找出原文的关键词、主旨句和各段落的大意，用词性转换、近义词替换、转换句型或者用概括的语言(如名词性从句)简化描述的方法来重新组织文章；然后用衔接词或合并句子的方法让概要更为流畅、凝练。

1. 开头常用句式

(1)How well do you know the history of China?

你对中国的历史有怎样的了解？

(2)The local history of the area is fascinating.

(3)．.. traces its history back to ...

(2)Bordering the USA on the south, Canada faces the Atlantic Ocean on the east, the Arctic Ocean on the north and the Pacific Ocean on the west.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Most people all over the world travel by the road. In a city in Italy, however, waterways make up the primary commuting routes. The city of Venice is best known for its canals. Unfortunately, this beautiful city of flat－bottomed boats (Gondolas), and churches is sinking and sinking fast.

Known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”， Venice is situated on 120 islands formed by canals between the mouths of the Po and Piave Rivers. And even the bits of firm ground have rather boggy (泥泞的) foundations and all this slowly getting eroded (腐蚀的).

The existing ground water table and the global climate

changes that have raised sea levels by several inches, are proving its disaster for the city. As sea－ice melts and water levels rise, floods in Venice are getting from bad to worse. And buildings are already feeling the impact of this phenomenon, with their foundations literally being shaken. Take one of the most famous landmarks of Venice for example, the 900－year－old St. Basilica, now leans slightly to the left.

Experts warn that the city may sink an additional eight inches in the next 50 years. Many scared residents have already started to move to drier regions in Italy's mainland. T o deal with the flood threat, a group of Venetians, called the New Venice Consortium, has come up with “Project Moses”—a dam project named after the biblical figure, Moses. The idea is to place underwater gates at different points where the Adriatic Sea enters the lagoon (环礁湖). When the water is low, the gates will remain

open and as the water rises, the gates will close, preventing the seawater from flooding Venice. However, some people disagree with this idea. Environmentalists point out that the gates would have to remain closed most of the time and seawater will not be able to move in and out of Venice. As a result, the lagoon water will become stagnant (停滞的), harming the fish and plants that live there. Until a viable solution is found out, Venice, it seems, would continue to be threatened by floods. Truly, a case of being caught between the devil and the deep sea!
