篇一：大学英语记叙文500字范文

a long way

last semester, i worked in a restaurant at my spare time. at the beginning, it was extremely hard for me to learn the roles and remember the recipes. i had to stand there and smile. at the end of the day, i was so tired that i almost could do nothing. after a few days of working, the head waiter told me that i could take charge as a chief. i knew if i worked hard, i would take charge of a room. it meant i can get more tip. i was glad to do that.

as new, it was not an easy thing to serve all customers well. sometimes, i dished up wrongly. or i forgot the customers requirements. what is worse, i overturned the plates twice. however, i could not be defeated because of these difficulties. one day, i was about to be off duty when three foreigners came here. because other colleagues could not speak english well, i had to stay to serve them. it was my first time to talk with a foreigner. however, suddenly, my mind was blank even though i had memorized 3000 words. how can i talk to themi began to speak slowly, but think fast.

excuse me, what can i do for you i said it word by word. at the same time, i showed them the menu.

no, we order ··· with some rice. they said so quickly that i seldom couldnt know what they wanted.

pardon i asked with embarrassment.

oh, we want tomatoes and eggs. look at this, xi hong shi chao ji dan, he showed me a note with some chinese characters.

i got it. what else i tried my best to keep calm as i could. i had no reason to laugh at them because of my bad english.

water, please. then, a pot of tea was on the table.

the more terrible thing was that the rice was sold out. how can i explain this to themwe were closing the store for the night. it was normal. however, we had been alternative.

hum, there is no rice left. how about noodleslike this and this. i felt embarrassed extremely. i could not translate the name to them and just showed the picture in the menu to them.

maybe they were hungry, or they had no choice. they agreed me.

they said something and laughed. i could hardly understand it. but it was not my business. the thing that i need to do was serve them more considerate.

they were eating and i was to go back to hostel.

before long, they finished their supper and said: how much

so, i had to stay more minutes. i gave them the bill.

it is too expensive. they yelled. i knew it was too expensive here. but i had no idea. i could do nothing for them, just smiled to them.

finally, i gave them the bills and i got rid of the serve.

it is memorable. each for it was the first time makes a dent in my heart. gaining self -confidence means half success. i believe myself and wont lose confidence any more.篇二：英文记叙文

写法指导(writing directions)

1.记叙文的结构

记叙文通常有三种结构类型:

(1) 顺序型:按时间发生的先后顺序所作的叙述。它能使人物,事件的叙述有头有尾,脉络清楚，有较强时空层次性，比较契合我国读者的接受心理。顺序常常不单独使用，多与其他叙述手法交叉，从而使叙述曲折生动，跌宕多姿.顺序型的结构模式是:总述+分述+结尾.这是一种按照事件开端→发展→高潮→结局的自然顺序进行叙述的客观记叙方法。

(2)倒叙型:先写结局,后写事件经过的叙述方法.所谓倒叙,是把事件的结局或其发展过程中的某一重要断面提到文章前面，写完结局或断面,然后才按时间顺序写.这种笔法吸引读者。倒叙的结构式是:本事+往事.在这个模式中,本事=总叙开端+分叙发展或高潮+结尾结局.这是客观事物发展过程中的主要事件被颠倒的自然顺序的'反映.倒叙文一般把本事中原有的往事写在本事的结局之后.

(3)合叙型:这是顺序和倒叙互相结合的一种叙述方法.在叙述某事的过程中暂时中断线索,插入另一件事的叙述。对全文来说，插入仅是一个片段，插叙完后，文章仍回到原来的事件叙述上来。这种插叙不是叙述的主体部分，一般不会发生在主流的时间范围内。若把这种插叙删去，虽然会削弱主体的深刻性，但不明显影响主要情节的完整性。合叙型的结构模式是:总叙+结尾.

2.英语记叙文的语言特点

英语记叙文的重要语言特点包括:

(1)以一般过去时为主,各种时态为辅,合理使用丰富多采的谓语动词时态.

(2)多用动词，特别是动态强的行为动词.

(3)使用直接引语.

要写好英语记叙文,就语言运用方面而言,应该在上述但方面多下功夫.

3.写作方法

写好英语记叙文的基本方法是:首先明确所要记叙的要素，即五个w和一个h(when,where,who,what,why,how).一般来说，要把事件和人物活动写清楚，这六个要素缺一不可。然后，确定以第几人称的视角以及何种顺序展开记叙,以保证记叙的条理性;最后，多在塑造人物、展开情节上下功夫,使文章能引人入胜. 叙文主要是由时间(when)、地点(where)、人物(who)、事件(what)、原因(why)和结果(result)六要素构成。一般来说，记叙文要把事件和人物活动写清楚，这六要素缺一不可。

叙事类写作以叙述事件为主，可以说事件是记叙的核心。写事件要交代事情的来龙去脉，可按事件发生的时间先后顺序依次叙述。同时要求重点突出，目的明确，详略得当。当然，构思新颖也是写好叙事文的重要要求。这里的构思就是指文章的立意要新颖，组织材料和表现手法上要巧妙。在句式上，表示本人的经历或耳闻目睹的事件用第一人称，表示他人的经历和事件用第三人称。

Alice Guo

Mr. Tinsley

Sept. 23th 2013

Personal Narrative (first draft)

Gone with the cheers

“Come on!! Chase her!! You can do it!” The inflammatory sound of cheers keeps ringing in my head, but the cheers of encouragement become softer and was my first Sports Meeting in my middle school. It was hosted on Sept. 20th; just a few days later thanthe new semesterhad begun. As a freshman, everything was new to me. I found it strangethat I couldn’trush in the hallways any oftenwas lost in the campus and could not find the way to

thedormitory. I had never tried those wired food before I came here.

Most of the time, you could see me sitting on that cold but smooth chair, staring at a small black fly rushing around the whitest wall. It flew without knowing direction, without rhyme or reason. So abrupt, isn’t it

I wasn’t adaptable at all, never. Being pulled apart from my old friends made me feel sad. When I laid stiffly on my stiff wood bed, I was lonely and isolated.

A few days later, my advisor had a seriousconversation with me. He said he was aware that I was too solitary to make friends. “You should be outgoing and be open. Do you want to be alone all the time” I nodded subconsciously, suddenly I realized something, and shook my head abruptly.

Through that conversation, my advisor knew that I was good at running, and I had won many prizes. So I became a part of the sports team.

I sat alone on the bench of the playground, gazing at the blurry figures. Cheers and laughter filled the entire space. A pleasant smell was coming,accompanied by the gentle breeze. Three girlsappeared. They stared at me with curiousness. “I am Xia Xia, call me Summer. I have been noticing you for a while. You are so quiet. What is your name” That girl with short black hair asked, mouth slightly began to talk with them. After introductions, I knew they were the members of the sports team just like me, and we were going to participate in a relay race

game. “ From now on, we are partners! ”The other girl patted me on the shoulder. She was short but athletic. “Yeah! Our team will be the best! Just wait! LOSERS!” The girl with the blue hair band cheered. She posed like a gunner holding a gun, strafed in the air. We looked at each other andlaughed out loud.

Under the clear blue sky, we ran with abandon. They held my hand, sang songs without tune, waved arms together and going around in circles. Sunshine was floating on our faces brightly. From that moment on, we were started hanging out together. Telling jokes, gossiping and making fun of each other. I was no longer alone. We practiced everyday. Ran around the playground over and over again. We always stuck it out until we were out of

breath and our legs hardly moved. Our shirts got wet, with uncountable beads of sweat that dropped from our forehead. Exhausted but happy, we did everything we could do to improveour running skills. Because we were going to join the relay race, the heart connections were very important. We did pass- and receive

combinations of thousands time, to ensure we could save time on it and pass the relay baton accurately. We tried to increase our awareness so we could predict each other’s every move between the team.

The big day came. It was a little chilly in the morning. Sunshine was so soft, been blew away of the stronger wind. We were standing on the race, with calm and aplomb. I was the anchor leg, which got a lot of pressure: No matter how fast the other teams are, I was supposed to, should to chase them.

With the red smog appeared on the screen, a transient gunshot made everyone bleed out. Like the moment was frozen. I stood in that, waiting for my girls. More and more near, almost here! We were the second one. Summer looked fierce in the high speed. When she handed the baton on my hand, I rushed out like a narrow. I got to win! I told myself. The wind blows hard near my ear, making a roaring girl chased up me. She accelerated. The cheers were rolling. I cannot let others down! I cannot be behind! I waved my arms faster like a super machine, so as my only thing that I could see was theribbon in the finishing line.

Only 50 meters left! I exhaust all my strength to run faster. And the cheers

surrounded me, loud but hopeful. I closed my eyes and let myself bump ahead. Nearer!Almost there! I tried best to step farther and father. At that moment, like the whole world has been frozen, I felt I touched a ribbon. We won!!! The other three girls rushed to me, hold each other tightly. We go around and around, high five and jumped. The auditorium had boiled, too. Cheers and laughterstayed a very long time. Finally, racking with the wind and lightening and disappeared.

四级英语作文范文词汇 第5篇

记叙文写作方法与技巧

一．概念

记叙文也称叙述文，是一种以记叙/叙述的手法来表述人物、事件的文体。常见的属于记叙文文体的作品有：故事、游记、通讯、新闻报道、历史、 人物传记、日记和回忆录等。记叙文大致可以分为两大类：以记人为主的记叙文和以叙事为主的记叙文。前者主要是对人物的经历、活动或者性格特征进行叙述；后者则是对某一事件的发生、发展过程和结果进行叙述。前者重在描述人物的活动，而后者则重在表述事件的发生发展过程。

二．六大要素

记叙文的写作要注意交待清楚六大要素，即时间(time)、地点(place)、 人物( character)、事件的原因(cause)、经过(process)和结果( effect)。

由于记叙文中所涉及的要素比其他文体相对要多、要复杂，所以整篇文章的结构安排就显得尤其重要，安排不合理就会使读者产生混乱的感觉。

记叙文的展开一般都是以时间为主线来组织所要叙述的内容，使读者对文章中的人物或事件有一个比较清晰的了解。记叙文的结构安排通常有三种形式:正叙、倒叙和插叙。正叙是英语叙述文中最常用的一种结构，即以人物出现、活动或事件开始发生的时间点作为记叙的起点，然后按照人物活动的展开、事件发生发展的自然顺序进行叙述。倒叙则是在文章的开头就交待人物活动或事件发展的结果。插叙这一结构在我们的英文写作中很少用到。

三．时态

记叙文讲述的大多是过去已经发生的活动或事件，因此用过去时态(一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时、过去完成时)的作品比较多。但有时为了使文章显得更加真实、亲切和生动，也可以使用现在时态(一般现在时、 现在进行时、现在将来时、现在完成时)。

四．人称

记叙某个人物的经历、活动或某件事情的经过离不开叙述的主体，即 “人称”。记叙文中的人称大多采用第一人称或第三人称的形式。第一人称的叙述主观色彩较浓，可以增强文章的真实感，有利于表述细腻的情感和细节的过程；第三人称的叙述可以超越时空的限制，更加真实、客观地表述某一人物活动或事件的全过程。

无论采用第一人称，还是采用第二人称，都要保持全文叙述主体的人称的一致性。注意：句式尽量要多变，不要通篇文章的句子都以人称代词开头，否则文章会显得单调沉闷。例如: I loved the book first because of its beautiful heroine. Then I found it a romantic love story which

greatly moved me. I now find that it is better taken as the growth story of a naive girl into a strong-willed woman. I realize that it is the essence of the book that attracts such big number of faithful readers.

这一段描述在用词、内容、逻辑上都不错，但过多地使用了以“I”开头的句子，使文章略显单调乏昧，给读者的印象大打折扣。

五．措辞与表达
