新高考读后续写高分素材--微技能之细节描写
读后续写微技能之细节描写1
高考中续写的文体主要为记叙文。
顾名思义,记叙文主要以记叙事件为主,因此需要用到许多的细节描写以使文章生动,言之有物。
不少学生语言功底不错,但是续写始终得不了高分,其中一个原因可能就是细节描写的缺乏。
那么,续写该如何写呢?我们应该做到兼顾概括描述和细节描述,而且要多用细节描述。
所谓概括描述是指对一个事件的总体描述,而细节描述则是对事件的具体描述,来对之前的总体描述进一步解释说明,这样能够使得描述更加生动,有画面感。
举例:
如表达一个人的疲累时,可用概括描述:she felt exhausted. 同时辅以细节描述She felt exhausted and sat by the stream, resting her aching feet.
如果大家注意这些细节的描述,一定会为你的记叙文续写增色!

读后续写对话中的常见误区
1废话连篇,无助推动情节发展,刻画人物性格。
评析:这样的对话在现实生活中很真实,但是小说毕竟是艺术加工,无助情节推动的,不能刻画人物性格的日常寒暄和偏离文章主线的对话绝对不用。
2追求花哨,过度使用对话标签dialogue tags
评析:此句中完全没有必要加上一个happily来表达说的方式,因为句中的fantastic一词足以说明说话人了表情,过度强调dialogue tags 会让读者的注意力集中在“说话的方式”而不是“说话的内容”。
建议改为:“That is fantastic news!” he said/screamed/exclaimed. (一个感叹号和一个fantastic已经足以让读者想象当时的情景。
适当的“艺术留白”也是需要的,这样会留给读者想象的空间。
还有一种避免过度的dialogue tags的方法是运用“动作描写”来取而代之。
如:Her eyes reflected the candlelight as she smiled at her son.“Everyone is unique. Just follow your heart and be yourself!”
3用词不当,错误使用对话标签dialogue tags
评析:以上两句话也是我在大量的学生习作甚至是范文中发现的。
这里把动作描写和dialogue tags 混淆了,试想谁能gasp(喘息)、chuckle(轻笑)出一句话?除非他或她有特异功能。
纠正方法如下:
(Question tag+ with介词短语)
(动作描写+句号)
(对话句断+动作描写)
(感叹句结束+动作描写)
(Question tag+ 分词做伴随状况)
请特别关注以上对话的标点。
4多此一举,对话对象十分明确,仍使用对话标签
评析:此句貌似豪华,其实对话中的主语“I”已经清晰地说明了说话者,完全没有必要用question tag“I said”来说明说话对象。
纠正方法:加上一点动作描写就可以避免这种错误,并且提升语言的生动性。
5频用副词,词汇贫乏只会tell 不会show
评析:此句也是貌似“高大上”,使用了大量副词,并且套用了分词做伴随的句型。
任何方面都有度,过之而不及。
过度堆砌辞藻会让人生厌,过度使用副词也会让阅卷老师觉得你词汇贫乏,非得用副词才能表达出来。
2大纠正办法:
1)积累相关的show 的词汇来避免过度使用副词
2)穿插动作描写辅助对话,刻画人物心情
试比较以下两句:
评析:两句话粗看都是相当不错。
无论从词汇和语法结构的使用似乎都属于上乘之作。
但细细琢磨下面这句反而更高一筹。
原因是,第一句用了imply 和withdraw 两词来tell说话者she的心情,而第二句hesitate 和后面的动作描写让她的犹豫心情跃然纸上。
小说故事要的就是这种show的方式。
分析对话实例,揭示对话秘诀
Example 1
原文内容:作者爸爸在阳台种植康乃馨,悉心呵护,作者一家都非常喜欢这些花。
爸妈再三
强调不允许作者和他姐姐不能触碰这些花。
To our surprise, Dad was mad about it, yelling at us, “ Don’t you know touching is not allowed? What on earth ha ve you done?”
赏析:反义疑问句和on earth 的使用加强了语气,凸显了父亲的生气。
Example 2
原文内容:母亲去世,哥哥外出。
父女相约吃饭,引发了女儿对母亲和哥哥的思念,父亲读懂了女儿内心的想法,安慰女儿。
母亲在天堂一定希望他们过得快乐,现在他们需要做的就是珍惜身边的人。
Seeing this, my father lovingly held my hands and said to me, “Sweetheart, I believe your mother must want you to live happily, so say goodbye to the past and embrace the present. Your brother and I will always be with you.”
赏析:情感类的对话要求感人,触及内心,这点此对话做的不错。
但是小编也要对此对话提出点意见1)文中的and said to me 完全没有必要,因为对话对象非常清楚,肯定和我说。
2)your mother 显得太疏远,亲人间相互称呼用Mom 即可,更显真实,贴近生活。
Example 3
原文内容:作者家突然停电,虽然弟弟觉得停电时间非常无聊,但是作者却非常享受停电时间,享受“没有现代电子科技带来的干扰”的宁静片刻。
Bzzz! The lights return. “ Yeah, no more candles!” My mother yells, pulling me away from my fantasy.
赏析:对话简洁自然,表达了说话者恢复用电时候的兴奋,对话外面的dialogue tag也很出色,分词的使用既丰富了语言也推动了情节的进一步发展。
E x a m p l e4
原文内容:主人公J e n n y通过自身的劳动获得了心爱的项链,形影不离。
父亲每
日给她讲睡前故事。
父亲故意试探女儿,问是否可以把项链给他。
J e n n y深爱爸爸但不舍自己努力得来的项链。

赏析:此文运用了大量的对话,主要是考虑到与前文的协同。
大量的父女间的对话穿插一些旁白或动作描写很好地刻画了人物之间的冲突,细腻生动地刻画了人物心情。
一般的读后续写不建议用太多的对话。
适当的对话可以打破单调,推动情节,刻画人物性格。
对于此文中的对话,小编也想提出点个人的意见:1)“ N o t o n l y d i d I f i n i s h a l l t h o s e c h o r e s, b u t a l s o I s p e n t t h e d o l l a r b i l l g i v e n f o r m y b i r t h d a y j u s t t o p a y f o r i t.”此句似乎为了使用n o t o n l y…, b u t a l s o的倒装句型而写对话,显得很不自然。
语句太长反而不能表达小女孩当时的生气。
建议改为:“ I t’s m i n e! M y e f f o r t s!”反而显得简洁自然,同样达到了效果,符合人在生气时候的说话方式:短句!不完整句!2)还有一处标点的使用也有误。
请看:J e n n y r a i s e d h e r h e a d, 此处的逗号要改为句号。
只能作为动作描写,而不是q u e s t i o n t a g。

赏析:此文的对话主要是用来揭示故事的寓意,通常出现在故事的末尾。
这样的
对话一定要写出深度厚度,才能博得老师的高分。
建议可以使用强调句。
此文中也
有一个标点瑕疵。
请看:T h e n t h e w i s e m a n s m i l e d g e n e r o u s l y,此句的逗号也要改为句号,作为动作描写穿插其中,而不是q u e s t i o n t a g。
他山石可攻玉|这些“恐惧”情绪的表达你都用过吗?
一篇出自美国初中生的看图说话
与2018年6月浙江英语高考“读后续写”酷似!
Write a short story based on the pictures below in not less than 100 words. One weekend, my parents decided to bring my brother and I to the recreational jungle. We were very excited as we had not been there before. My brother and I talked about all the bears, tigers and reindeer we were going to see. We really thought that a recreational jungle was like any other jungle.
When we arrived, we dash ed into the jungle, wanting to explore its length and breadth. We obediently followed our parents at first but found it boring. Just then, a rabbit rushed out. I scream ed in delight and ran after it. My brother follow ed quickly behind. We kept running, always keep ing our eyes on the rabbit. The rabbit got tired of running and decided to hide in its burrow. It was only then that we realized that we did not know where we were. The trees looked unfamiliar and there were no more jungle paths for us to follow. We were scared as we realized that we were lost. Night was approaching and the hooting of the owl sent shivers down our spines. I began to cry as I was feeling tired, hungry and sleepy. My brother comforted me by letting me sleep on his lap. I soon fell asleep dreaming of bears waiting to eat me up. Suddenly, I woke up. My brother was shaking me and telling them to get up. We could hear voices coming our way! We shout ed with all our might that we were lost. We soon saw beams of light from countless torches. Then we heard our parents' voices. We were safe! My brother and I ran to our parents and embrace d them emotionally. We were so happy to see them again that we vowed we never wanted to be separated from them ever again.
Notes:
burrow: a hole in the ground dug by an animal such as a rabbit, especially to live in
send shivers down sb's spines: to make someone feel very frightened
vow: to make a determined decision
Study the following the following examples and learn how to show one’s fear
Example 1 - Fear:

Key Words- pounded, crawled, tiptoed, shadowy, fear nibbled, wobble, echoed, crouched, pressed, dry-as-dirt, choked.
Comments:
1)例1中大量运用了短句,戏剧性的短句能够增强紧张感
2)这些关键字大部分都是强有力且活跃动词。
3)简短的dialogue有效推动了情节发展,营造了栩栩如生的恐惧的场景。
It's Your turn:
Example 2 - Fear:
I can feel the sweat drench my skin, the throbbing of my own eyes, the ringing screams vibrating in my ears, and the thumping of my heart against my chest. My fingers are curled into a fist, nails digging into my palm. I can't hear my rapid breathing, but I can feel the oxygen flooding in and out of my lungs. Hesitantly, my eyes look at the dead corpse before me, the person I killed. Fear tortures my guts, churning my stomach in tense cramps. Fear engulfs my conscience, knocking all other thoughts aside. Fear overwhelms my body, making it drastically exhausted. However, most of all, the fear is making me calm and that is what scares me the most.
Key words:_____________________________
Your treasure:____________________________
Example 3 - Fear
Time passed slowly. Cathy stayed hidden within the darkness, feeling every beat of her heart pounding on the cold stone she lay upon. The wine and ale cellar was as quiet as it was dark, with only one sound to be heard; the sound of her own pulse throbbing in her ears. Suddenly, the serenity of silence surrendered to the deathly scream of hinges, as the door opposite her was slowly pried open. A narrow stream of light gracefully meandered through the room, and a shadow quickly followed.
She was scared.
Cathy held her breathe, daring not to make a sound. Each second seemed to last an eternity as she lay perfectly still listening to the footsteps of the intruder, which had muted the pounding of her pulse.

Your treasure:_____________________
恐惧来自自身,最大的恐惧其实就是恐惧本身!
读后续写微技能|如何让你笔下的对话更加准确传神
对话(dialogue)是故事角色在整个故事中对彼此或对自己说的话。
它可以用
来揭示人物的性格和个性,它也可以用来推动情节向前发展,并展示情节发展的过程。
对话是故事中最重要的元素之一。
对话的语言要避免冗长的叙述,要避免直接告诉读者而要通过其他手段来展示它们。
优秀的对话会让你故事中的人物生动立体,栩栩如生,将推动你的故事进展,使其更有乐趣,而拙劣的对话将破坏一个好的故事。
11. 如何准确使用对话中的标点
请观察下面的句子。
Jack asked, “Do you think it will rain today?”
“I have a new umbrella,” explained Emily, “and I am excited to try it out.”
“Why don't you check the weather forecast on your phone?” suggested Carly.
“It is as simple as the smile on your face,” he said.
先看一个如何使用标点的视频
英语对话标点使用规则:
第一、对话提示词(Dialogue tags)“Jack asked,”/ “explained Emily,”/ “suggested Carly,”的位置可以放在引用的对话前、中、后三个位置。
第二、对话中的逗号,永远在引号里面。
对话提示词“某某人说”构成了整个句子的框架,它和它引用的部分是一个整体,是完整的一个句子。
这就解释了很多老师的疑惑,为啥对话有时候引用的对话说完了,但是后面却用逗号。
如:“It was as hard as a rock,” he said.但是: He said,“It was as hard as a rock.”
第三、整个对话(引用部分+对话提示词)完整的时候,才能使用句号。
对话开始首字母大写。
如果对话提示词是插在一个完整对话中间的,后面
需要用逗号。
且后半句话开头首字母要小写。
如:“I have a new umbrella,” explained Emily, “and I am excited to try it out.”Exercise 1:给下面的句子加标点
1. There's a fifty percent chance of rain this afternoon, reported Emily.
2. Emily asked, Do you think I should take my new umbrella to school?
3. Of course you should take it to school, answered Jack.
4. If it starts raining, Carly added, you will be nice and dry.
5. Emily squealed(尖叫), I see dark gray storm clouds rolling in.
6. Oh no! exclaimed (惊叫)Jack. Carly and I don't have umbrellas.
7. Hooray! yelled(喊叫) Emily. It's finally raining.
8. Carly mumbled(咕哝地说), My hair is getting soaked.
9. Would you and Jack like to share my umbrella with me? asked Emily.
10. Thank you Emily, said Carly. You're more than just a fair weather friend.
2如何让你的对话不平庸
对话的关注点就是故事中的角色
1)对谁说了什么话
2)说话的同时在做什么
3)如何说的
例1
A: "Give me the money," Katherine said.
下面的两个例子都是我们需要追求的:
“I just don’t know anymore,”Mary folded her arms. “I think I’m afraid of you.”Harry sighed. “I’m sorry,”He shook his head.“I’m not very good at this.”
练习2:试比较体会下面三句话的优劣
1. But I don't want to go to sleep yet," hesaid unhappily.
2. But I don't want to go to sleep yet," he whined.
3. He stood in the doorway with his hands balled into little fists at his sides. His red, tear-rimmed eyes glared up at his mother. "But I don't want to go to sleep yet."
Exercise 3:(请改写下面的句子使它表达更生动传神)
“I don’t want to see you again,” Lily said tonelessly.
“You don’t mean that,” Jack said desperately.
“You’re an idiot,” Lily said angrily.
对话并不难写。
只要记住在任何时候都要生动逼真。
在准确的对话格式的前提下,确保你写的所有内容都是展示出来的,不是简单直接地告诉读者在那个场景中发生了什么或者说了什么。
省略副词或者不要过度使用副词。
这些简单的规则可以帮助你写出出色的对话。
Possible answers for Exercise 3
Lily turned away and crossed her arms.“I don’t want to see you again.”
“You don’t mean that.”Jack pushed to his feet in a rush.
She glared at him.“You’re an idiot.”
读后续写微技能|氛围营造法之一: 8大场景描写技能好的读后续写必然要有好的故事氛围。
而好的故事氛围要受到多个故事元素的影响: 场景、用词选择、对话、独白、语言节奏和修辞法等等。
文学中的(mood)

door.
Technique 2: simile (明喻)
Description/purpose:
Similes likens something to something else giving a more detailed description

Technique 5: Negative description (否定描述)

Description/purpose:
To use the idea of how a film director works, you can give a wider view then focus in on one detail
Examples:
1. The house smelled musty and damp, and a little sweet, as if it were haunted by the ghosts of long-dead cookies.
2. The sun kept dipping down into the ocean and the lights came on at the harbor, casting sudden shadows on the ground, illuminating the faces that were just a second ago silhouettes. The sky was golden and purple, the ocean a darker shade of violet.
3. The sun had set, but a faint pastel haze lingered in the mid-summer sky.
4. They rolled up the path, tree branches raking the windshield like angry wardens.
5. Outside, the air filled with cricket noise, as the sun reddened in its descent.
6. A restaurant overlooking a starlit night sprang to my imagination like something out of an illuminated manuscript from the late Middle Ages.
7. The moon went slowly down in loveliness; she departed into the depth of the horizon, and long veil-like shadows crept up the sky through which the stars appeared.
8. All brightness was gone, leaving nothing. We stepped out of the tent onto nothing. Sledge and tent were there, Estraven stood beside me, but neither he nor I cast any shadow. There was dull light all around, everywhere. When we walked on the crisp snow no shadow showed the footprint. We left no track. Sledge, tent, himself, myself: nothing else at all. No sun, no sky, no horizon, no world.
9. Night had fallen fast upon the land. No more than an hour ago the sky was painted with hues of red, orange and pink, but all colour had faded leaving only a matt black canvas with no stars to be looked upon.
10.It would be a cold moonless night. The sky was dark and low, the air so chilled it hurt to breathe. Already the ground was laid white with frost and any water that had been liquid under the winter sun had become ice.
后续写微技能|氛围营造法之二|3大高潮营造法
1What is a climax of a story?(什么是故事高潮?)
文学故事中的高潮(climax)----故事的主要场景(key scene)也通常是故事的转折点(turning point),是指故事达到最紧张或扣人心弦的那一部分。
高
潮有时候是剧情中的"危机" 点。
有时候, 它只是达到关键时刻或者转折点, 发生了一些事情, 或者主角必须做出决定, 从而导致一个结果或其他。
我们在分析叙事类故事或者小说故事的时候常常用下面的图表来表示故事情节。
常见故事高潮示例:
1. A little girl has been searching for her lost dog. All of a sudden, she hears a bark coming from around the corner, and she looks around to see . . .
2. Kevin has worked very hard to try out for the soccer team at school. The coach has posted a list of this year's team members on his office door. Kevin walks forward to look at the list . . . .
3. Mary's parents have been discussing whether or not to move to another state. They call Mary and her sister down to talk with them about their decision . . .
4. Lois has performed in the state gymnastics finals. She waits anxiously to hear the names of the winners. The announcer says, "And first place goes to . . ."
文学名著中的一些故事高潮
1. The deaths of Romeo (who kills himself because he thinks Juliet is dead) and Juliet (who kills herself when she awakes and sees Romeo dead). Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare (罗密欧和朱丽叶,莎士比亚)
2. When Gaston and the townspeople come to attack the beast, and Belle admits her love for the beast. Beauty and the Beast, Disney (美女与野兽,迪士尼)
3. In "The Three Little Pigs," suspense builds up until the confrontation between the third pig and the wolf. This confrontation is the climax.(三只小猪)
2How to create a climax of a story? (如何营造故事的高潮?)
方法1.增加外部冲突
增加外部冲突是一种明显有效的可以达到故事高潮的方式。
冲突带来紧迫感, 将故事推向必要的解决或崩溃。
1)角色之间的冲突 (人物观点差异, 竞争需要等)
如:2017年11月浙江英语高考:On the fourth or fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea: Why didn't we find a house with a
likely-looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there? David and I became nervous. 开车找旅馆---徒劳无功---母亲建议搭帐篷在他人后院---David和我倍感紧张,心有不悦(母子的观点不一)
2) 角色与环境之间的冲突
如:2017年6月浙江英语高考: Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. ……he saw instantly that it wasn't a dog at all, but a wolf: quickly catching up with him. Mac's heart jumped. ……, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac's relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, ……. Then it ……, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back ……
Mac骑车独自行,路遇饿狼,与之搏斗,险象环生。
(人(角色)----狼(环境)大战)
3) 时间依赖的发展:决策变得紧急
如: 2017年6月浙江英语高考:The car abruptly stopped in front of him. "Get into the car." Paul shouted at Mac. Mac jumped off the bike and slid into the car without delay as the wolf was just two steps away and
was about to tear Mac into pieces. What a narrow escape! 骑车突停面前---急喊上车---Max上车避险---饿狼近在咫尺(此情此景,刻不容缓)
4) 增加的障碍:人物角色必须克服挑战, 以达到他们的目标
例如:2018年6月高考But before we jumped off the horses, we found that we had been off the beaten track and got lost. We had no idea where we were and it got dark. Exhausted and hungry, I wondered if we could find our way back. 小兔突现---马儿受惊---草原迷路(障碍1)----天色渐黑(障碍2)----又累又饿(障碍3)----心理恐慌(障碍4)
方法2. 放大内心冲突
放大内心冲突(你的角色的内心斗争)也有助于建立一个高度紧张和不确定的时刻。
现在我们在来看高考读后续写中的内心冲突是如何体现的:
2016年10月浙江高考: Immediately, an absolute darkness ruled the forest. Jane, exhausted and scared, lay down near a stone, missing her family at a distance. All the fantastic memory crowded in and she couldn't help crying, "Hadn't I quarrelled with Tom, walked away and climbed to the high place, I wouldn't be trapped in this awful。
