开头是作文在阅卷老师面前的第一次亮相,它将决定你所写的文章在阅卷老师心中所留下的第一印象。如果第一印象好,就意味着有了良好的开端,也就成功了一半。Good beginning is half done,我们该怎样一提起笔就让自己成功一半呢?
PART 01:“开门见山”式开头
一般来说,文章的开头应尽量做到“开门见山”,即要用简单明了的语言引出文章的话题,使人一开始就能了解文章要说明的内容。
①. 对于叙事类的文章,可以在开头把人物、时间、事件和环境交代清楚。
如“A Trip to Huangshan(黄山之旅)”的开头可以是:
Last month, my family went to Huangshan by train. It took us ten hours to get there. What a long and tiring journey! We were tired but the beautiful scenery excited us.
②. 对于论述性的文章,可以在开头处先阐明自己的观点,接着展开进一步的论述。
如“The Time and the Money(时间和金钱)” 的开头可以是:
Most people say that money is more important than time. But I don't think so. First, when money is used up, you can earn it back, but……
PART 02:回忆性开头
在描述事件或游记类的文章中,采用回忆性的开头往往更能吸引人的眼球。
这种类型的开头中通常含有描述自己心情或情绪的词汇,如never forget (永远无法忘记)、 remember (记得)、unforgettable (难以忘怀的)、 exciting (令人激动的)、surprising (令人惊讶的)、sad (难过的)……
如“A Trip to Huangshan(黄山之旅)”的开头还可以这样写:
I will never forget my first trip to Huangshan.
或
It was really an unforgettable experience I had.
PART 03:疑问性开头
在叙事类或论述性的文章中,都可采用疑问型开头,这样既可以吸引阅卷者的注意又容易抓住中心。
如“Planting Trees(种树)”的开头可以是:
Have you ever planted trees?
Don’t you think planting trees is ……
再如“Traveling Abroad(出国之旅)”的开头可以是:
If you have an opportunity to travel abroad, why not consider Singapore?
PART 04:倒叙式开头
在有的文章,特别是叙事类的文章中,可以采用倒叙的写作手法,先写出事件的结果,再陈述过程。
如“Catching Thieves (捉贼)”的开头可以这样写:
I lay in bed in the hospital. I smiled at my friends even though my legs hurt. Do you want to know what happened to me? Let me tell you. It's a … story.
