It was noon. The hot sun above was bright. It made the temperature ri. On the road all was quite. There were few cars to be en. There were even fewer people about. The shops alongside the road were wide open. Their bamboo shades were rolled down to keep out the blazing sun. There was no wind at all. The pavement way, though shady, was stuffy. Even the shopkeepers shopkeepers emed emed emed affected affected affected by by by this this this mid mid mid –– day day heat heat heat and and and stuffiness. stuffiness. stuffiness. They They looked bored and unwilling to rve the few occasional customers.
这是一段描写文。在读文章之前要求读者带着问题阅读：① 段落的中心思想是什么？②想是什么？② 段落是采用什么方法描写的？不难发现，段落的中心思想是描写某一天中午的高温、某一天中午的高温、闷热的情景。闷热的情景。闷热的情景。作者采用由上到下、作者采用由上到下、作者采用由上到下、由远到近的空间顺序的方由远到近的空间顺序的方法描写。文章中用火热的太阳、道路安静、车辆稀少、为挡住阳光，商店的竹窗帘落下来、店主不愿接待顾客等情景的描写生动地衬托了段落的中心思想。

magnetronThere is a saying in China that “Time flies like an arrow.” When I came to China the People’s Republic of China had just been born. Today, the new China has proudly celebrated celebrated her her 35 th anniversary anniversary and and now stands in full splendor and looks to the world with co

This year marks 75 th birthday as well as 35 th year that I have been living and working in China. In that time I have lived in this fascinating land and shared joys and suffering with Chine people, so that in my old age I can proudly say “the longer I live in China, the younger my heart become become.”.”.”
这段文章的目的是通过时间顺序、这段文章的目的是通过时间顺序、举例对比的写作手法–––从中华人民共举例对比的写作手法–––从中华人民共和国成立到如今中国面对全世界，骄傲地庆祝35周年纪念日；从一位四十岁的中年人变成了两鬓灰白的老人，中年人变成了两鬓灰白的老人，感觉光阴似箭的心情。感觉光阴似箭的心情。文章的中心思想是围绕着中国生活的35年时光过得很快而写成的。年时光过得很快而写成的。

Everything Everything Everything emed emed emed to to be covered with a layer of golden silk, there were only some birds singing occasionally in the high trees. I tripped all the way toward the park, breathing the fresh air, feeling extremely happy.
When I arrived at the park, I found, to my surpri, there were so many people there. Men and women, boys and girls all enjoyed themlves by various activities. Some were doing morning exercis, some were playing badminton, some old people were having their tea while talking to each other cheerfully
Walking around the park, to my delight, I found a few middle school students were talking to each other in English in the southeast corner of the park, I went to them at once and spoke to them in English, we became friends right away. I was very glad to find another opportunity to practice my spo

：说明文就是用言简意骇的文字向读者介绍事物的过程，讲解思想和信念，把信息展现给读者。写说明文要掌握的要素是“什么（what what）”和“为什么（）”和“为什么（）”和“为什么（why why why））
botel”，即通过点明论点和阐明缘由或过程，说明事物的特点和性能，或阐明某种观念、原理或现象。说明文包括实体事物说明文、事理说明文和文艺说明文。请读下面一段题为“Read Good Books Read Good Books”的说明文章：”的说明文章：”的说明文章：
From good reading we can derive pleasure, friendship, experience, and instruction. instruction. A A A good good good book book book may may may absorb absorb absorb our our our attention attention attention so so so completely completely completely that that that for for the the time time time being being being we we we forget forget forget our our our surrounding surrounding surrounding and and and even even even our our our existence. existence. existence. Reading Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increas our contentment when we are cheerful, and lesns
our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpo in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.
这是一段事理说明文，要把事情理由讲清楚。段落的中心思想是段落的中间句Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life.其它句子都是为了衬托中心思想，要说明读书是生活中最大乐趣之一的原因。要注意，说明文除了要掌握其空间顺序（从上到下，由外到内）、还要掌握其逻辑顺序（先因后果或先果后因）、认识顺序（由浅入深、由此及彼、由局部到整体、由现象到本质、由具体到抽象）。这段说明文就是用读书可以使人忘掉周围一切，可以使人愉快时心情更愉快，伤心时可以减少痛苦等现象说明其本质–––读书可以使我们获得享受和满足。使我们获得享受和满足。
又如：一九九二年六月全国四级统考的作文题目是：又如：一九九二年六月全国四级统考的作文题目是：How I Overcame My How I Overcame My Difficulties in Learning English.段首句是：①在英语学习中存在的困难。②我是怎样克服困难的。多数学生能根据所学知识较好地写出文章所给的提纲内容，从文章开头交待英语学习中有哪些困难，回答说明文what,what，到论及如何克服到论及如何克服这些困难的过程，完成说明文的why why 和和how 的阐释，内容较充实，解释清晰。但少数学生审题失误，全文只说明了英语学习的困难是什么，全文只说明了英语学习的困难是什么，却疏漏了说明文最却疏漏了说明文最关键的一步，即没有扣住how how 的阐明，而是表决心似的大喊“今后要努力学习的阐明，而是表决心似的大喊“今后要努力学习
英语”英语”之类的口号，之类的口号，之类的口号，导致全篇跑题。导致全篇跑题。导致全篇跑题。这就要求学生在实际写作中掌握好写说明文这就要求学生在实际写作中掌握好写说明文的要点。的要点。
4.4.议论文（议论文（议论文（argumentation argumentation argumentation ））
： 议论文就是讲道理、讲是非。一段完整的议论文是由论点、论文是由论点、论据和论证构成的。论据和论证构成的。论据和论证构成的。说明文是把信息展现给读者，说明文是把信息展现给读者，说明文是把信息展现给读者，那么议论文则那么议论文则是用信息去说服读者。这两种文章都是以来自各方面的事实和印象为基础的。这两种文章都是以来自各方面的事实和印象为基础的。最最常见的议论文顺序为：常见的议论文顺序为：①① 提出问题或表达一种观点即引论。提出问题或表达一种观点即引论。②② 分析、分析、评论提出评论提出的问题或观点即正文的问题或观点即正文..③ 对提出的问题、观点表明态度或提出解决方法即结论，也就是文章的结尾。现引用一篇题为“Smoking and Cancer Cancer”议论文的引论和结”议论文的引论和结论段落，分析如下：论段落，分析如下：
[引论引论] Americans ] Americans ] Americans smoke smoke six thousand million cigarettes every year. This is roughly the equivalent of 4:195 cigarettes a year for every person in the country of 18 years age of more. It is estimated that 51% of American men smoke compared with 34% of American women.
[结论结论] While ] While all tobacco smoking affects life expectancy and
中学生英语health, cigarette smoking appears to have a much greater effect than cigar or pipe smoking. However, nicotine consumption is not diminished by the latter forms, and current rearch indicates a causal relationship between all forms of smoking and cancer of the mouth and throat. Filters and low tar tobacco are claimed to make smoking to some extent safer, but they can only marginally reduce, not eliminate the hazards.
这是一篇典型议论文的开始和结尾段落。引论中，作者用数字、男女吸烟的比率提出了吸烟问题。比率提出了吸烟问题。结论中，结论中，结论中，作者对吸烟问题做了明确具体的分析，作者对吸烟问题做了明确具体的分析，作者对吸烟问题做了明确具体的分析，无论是香无论是香烟、烟、雪茄烟还是烟斗对健康都有害处，雪茄烟还是烟斗对健康都有害处，雪茄烟还是烟斗对健康都有害处，一切吸烟方式与口腔癌、一切吸烟方式与口腔癌、一切吸烟方式与口腔癌、喉癌之间都有一喉癌之间都有一种因果关系。通过阅读可以体会到，文章的标题是“吸烟与癌症”，一直到结尾段落也没有脱离吸烟与癌症这一话题。此处虽然没有足够的篇幅给出文章的正文，但要注意正文的内容必须要：论点正确、鲜明；论据确凿、典型、恰当、有说服力；论点之间要有本质的必然联系。
综上所述，四种类型文章的阅读写作训练，仅是起到一种提示作用。文章写作手法多种多样，训练时
必须结合文章的性质、写作方式，灵活地改变训练方法、训练手段。要想写出好文章，必须要多阅读、多体会、多模仿、多练习。
