英語應用文寫作—日記
日記是把自己在當天生活中經(jīng)歷的有意義的事以及見聞感受記錄下來的書面形式。文體自由，不拘一格。通常用第一人稱記寫。
英語日記的格式與漢語相同。在正文上方自左起頂格寫上日期、星期幾和天氣情況。正文另起一行，內(nèi)容應有所選擇，記有意義、感受最深的事，切忌流水賬。有話則長，無話則短，甚至三言兩語亦可。通常采用一般過去時或可靈活運用。日記的寫作格式如下：
1）
sept 23, 1991, wednesday cloudy
it is three months since i began this diary…
2）
friday, may i fine
today is may day…
月份除may, june, july外，其余可用縮寫形式。常用來表示天氣的詞有fine, cloudy, rainy, windy, snow等。
【范例】
oct 3, 1999, sunday rainy
it was raining outside when i got up early in the morning. it's too bad, i had to go to school by bus. i said to myself. it was almost seven o'clock before i left home. i put on my raincoat and ran to the bus stop in a hurry, for i thought a lot of people might be waiting there. hardly had i got there when a bus was coming. i got on the bus immediately, hoping it was possible for me to take a seat. i saw an empty seat and took it. but i found an old lady standing behind me. i stood up at once and was about to ask her to take the seat when a young girl in a modern skirt made a dive for it. i could hardly believe it. i glared at her, thinking“what bad manners! she cares for nobody but herself. won't she grow old in the future?”
【解題要點與技巧】
1）注意日記的格式。應用第一人稱來寫。
2）多數(shù)句子為過去時，因為事情發(fā)生在過去。
3）日記必須根據(jù)所給的兩個提示和十個詞語來寫。
4）語言要通順、簡練，表達要清楚、準確。
