高考英语漫画类作文写作指导

一．漫画作文概述

高考英语考试说明写作部分第二节表述为：“要求考生根据所给情景，用英语写一篇100个单词左右的短文（山东卷为120—150词）。情景包括目的、对象、时间、地点、内容等；提供情景的形式有图画、图表、提纲等。

因此，图画是高考作文所提供的情景之一。从最近几年高考试题来看，图画类作文占据了相当大的比重，当然主要是以记叙文为主。而漫画又是图画的表现形式之一。漫画的含义是：漫画是一种具有强烈的讽刺性或幽默性的图画。画家从生活现象中取材，通过夸张、比喻、象征等手法，来讽刺、批评或表扬某些人和事。它与图画相比，更能够与社会现实紧密结合起来，在大学英语四六级考试和研究生英语入学考试中应用的较为广泛。同时在高考中出现的频率也越来越高，例如在上海卷、北京卷及山东卷中都出现过漫画作文。

四．典例分析

【经典回放】06山东卷

请用英语写一篇100词左右的短文，简要描述漫画内容，并结合生活实际，就漫画主题发表感想，题目自拟。参考词汇：公民道德—civic virtue

One possible Version:

Who lost your civic virtue?

Let’s look at the picture above. It is about a boy who picks up a book on civic virtue and he is looking for its owner. But let’s pay attention to the passers-by. One boy is throwing rubbish and one of the couple is spitting.

Something occurs to me. The owner of the book not only lost a book, but also his civic virtue. It is our duty to obey the principle made for our behaviors. And parents should set examples for their children to teach them to protect the environment. As we all know, kids always do as their parents do.

Let’s call on everybody to do the tiny things we meet in our daily life to make our earth, our homes cleaner and more beautiful.

【范文分析】这篇文章分为三段，第一段描述了图画的内容，第二段就图画所反映的问题进行了论述，第三段提出了观点并发出了号召。同时每段的第一句都是过渡性的词语，使文章显得层次分明，结构明了。同时文章有效地运用了连接成分和高级句型与表达，提高了文章的档次。
