例二:训练写短文
以学习《新概念英语》第二册第一课为例
1)要求学生听写或复述课文内容
A Private Conversation
Last week I went to the theatre.I had a very good seat.The playwas very interesting.I did no t enjoy it.A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me.They were talking loudly.I got v ery angry.Icould not hear the actors.I turned round.I looked at the man and thewoman angrily.The y didn't pay any attention.In the end,I could not bear it.I turned round again.“I can't hear a word!”I said angrily.“It's none of your business,”the young man said rudely.“This is a priva te conversation!”
2)要求学生改变或部分改变短文中的“人称”、“地点”、“时间”,写一篇故事情节新的短文。
Last Sunday I went to the cinema.I had a very good seat.The filmwas very interesting.But I d idn't enjoy it.Two young men were sitting in front of me.They were talking loudly and smoking.I couldn't hear the actors and then I began to cough.They didn't pay any attentionto me.In the end ,I couldn't bear it.I said to them,“No smoking hereand keep quiet please.”One of them turned r ound and said rudely,“It's none of your business!”
划线部分为学生改变了的部分
3)教师给出文中若干重点词、词组、句型让学生结合自己的思想和生活实际写一篇新短文。
①enjoy ②get angry ③pay attention to
④bear ⑤rudely ⑥It's none of your business.
In the Reading-room
One afternoon,I went to the library.I borrowed a new book.It wasvery interesting.I enjoyed i t very much.While I was reading it in the reading-room,a boy came in and sat beside me.He was re ading aloud.I couldn't put my heart into the book.So I got very angry.I said tohim ,“Please kee p silent.”But he didn't pay any attention.After awhile,I couldn't bear it any more.I said to hi m,“Don't read aloud!This is not in your home,but a reading-room.”The boy looked at me angrily and said rudely,“It's none of your business I'm reading to myself.”
学生不仅可用原文中新学的语言知识(划线部分),还可用学过的旧知识(共10处)。
2.将听、说、读、写训练有机地结合
学习语言的途径主要是“模仿”而不是“创造”。人们常常首先是通过“听”和“读”来吸收语言知识, 从而了解别人的思想;再通过“说”和“写”的方式表达自己的思想,达到让别人了解的目的。所以我们在训 练学生写作能力时,注意与训练听、说、读能力结合起来进行。我们常对学生说:Nothingshould be read or
spoken before it has been heard.Nothing should bewritten before it has been read or spoken.
