读后续写的思考:立意和结尾的技巧
读后续写能否拿高分某种意义上说全在于立意(theme),而立意又在于能否给出一个好的结尾。但好的结尾绝对不能形成一套模式的,而是要仔细审题,主题要量身定制。模式化的结尾会让很多本能够拿到20+的学生折断羽翼。读后续写的文本分析一个重要的考量就是:writing purpo。原作者写这篇文章到底是要表达什么目的?有时候并没有固定的答案的。
另外,好的记叙文一定要能给人感动,这种passion真的没法骗人,一个作者的作文如果连自己都没法感动,只是泛泛空谈人生大道理,我很难想象作为阅卷人会感动。这种感动怎么来?取决于作者的empathy能量。这种感情在写作技巧上是可以练就的。下面我就以实例来说明。
立意切记:在文章前几段仔细寻找立意点,或者给作者寻找写作的目的。写作目的千万不要主观生造,而要在材料中找到定位句,这个句子一般是观点句。这就涉及到读者如何去区分观点和事实了。
简化为:
rot是什么意思
stiff第一步:找观点句,选择一个来作为theme的基础
第二步:根据情节发展去构思末句,通过末句来照应观点句,两种方法:支持观点句,并深层次升华;反对观点句,突出强烈的反差。

例子一:
About a half-mile behind our Minnesota farm lay a pond. In summer, my brother Harry and I would run through a stand of oak trees to skip stones there. The pond wore a collar of black mud. It was not a place for swimming.
In late summer, the pond would be covered by a green and bubbly scum(起泡的浮渣). Sometimes a strong, unpleasant smell ro from it. We stayed away.
When winter came, the pond was once again an inviting place. One day when ice covered it, Harry said to me, “Try walking across.”
The ice looked solid. No water showed through it, but I hesitated. “Go ahead.” Harry urged. “Try it. You’re lighter than I am. If the ice holds, we can run and slide carefully on it. It’ll be fun.” I wanted to plea Harry, and I thought about the fun of a long slide on the ice. I began to slide across the pond.
In the middle of the pond, the ice gave way with a sudden crack(裂缝)! I stretched out(伸展) my arms. The next thing I knew I was hanging on to the edge of a hole in the ice by arms outstretched on the ice. From my shoulders down I hung in icy water. I thought of the bottom of the pond. I knew it would be black and awful down there, full of mud and maybe rotting creatures.
I tried to climb out of the hole, but when I got a knee on the ice, it broke like window glass. Again and again I tried to get out. Again and again the ice broke into pieces. The hole widened. I was wearing a coat of heavy material. As it became completely wet, it dragged me down. I was tired of the struggle and rested with my arms stretched out on the ice.
I looked at Harry on shore. He emed rooted to the spot. “I can’t get out!” I screamed when I caught some breath.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
Paragraph 1:
Harry turned and ran from the pond.
headphonesParagraph 2:
The moment I crashed through the kitchen door, sobbing, mum rushed over.
立意技巧:
观点句有三个:
It was not a place for swimming.
When winter came, the pond was once again an inviting place.
I wanted to plea Harry, and I thought about the fun of a long slide on the ice.
其它句子基本都属于fact,并不适合作为立意的发散点。到底哪一句适合theme呢?
第一句的话,那么结尾就是:
直到那一刻,我们终于明白了为什么它不适合游泳,也明白的大人们的警告的真正含义。(Not until then did we realize…)
第二句的话,那么结尾就是:虽然侥幸逃过一劫,但是我不得不说,那个池塘还是吸引着我们,哎,孩子的好奇的心大人们是不懂的啊。(这就有点小王子说话的口吻了,a narrow escape cannot deny the fact that…)
第三句的话,结尾:我终于明白了,我以后再也不能为了取悦他人去做一些冒险的事情,这难道就是成长的代价吗?
托福 报名无论哪一种结尾,都会让人感到有理有据,都是立意好的作文。

四级各部分分值多少 Just after New Year’s, before school vacation ended, I went out for a walk. It was a walk I’d been meaning to take ever since we moved to the hou.
I took my camera—the first time I’d taken my camera out since we came to the country—and went, dresd in my down jacket and wearing heavy boots. I walked toward the emingly abandoned hou that I could e across the fields from the upstairs window.
A truck was parked at the end of the road, beside a tiny, weather-beaten hou. There was smoke coming out of the chimney, and curtains in the two little windows on either side of the door. A dog was in the yard, who barked when he saw me coming. And beside the truck—no, actually in the truck, or at least with his head inside it, was a man.
“Hi,” I called. It would have been silly to turn around and start walking home without saying anything, even though I’ve promid my parents all my life that I would never talk to strange men.
He lifted out his head, a gray head, smiled—a nice smile—and said, “Miss Chalmers. I’m glad you’ve come to visit.”
“Meg,” I said. I was puzzled. How did he know who I was?
“For Margaret?” he asked, coming over and shaking my hand. “Forgive me. My hands are very dirty. My battery dies in this cold weather.”
“How did you know my name was Chalmers?”
He wiped his hands on a towel that was hanging from the door handle of the truck. “My dear, I apologize. I have not even introduced mylf. My name is Will Banks. And it’s much too cold to stand out here. Your feet must be frozen, even in tho boots. Come inside, and I’ll make us each a cup of tea. And I’ll tell you how I know your name.”
