英语作文概括1

此外，当对话题的具体内容感到迷惘时，我们还可以充分利用写作内容2）里的a b c来帮助我们进一步定向。如:

实例二（阅读材料－记叙文）

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a rich country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he had gone for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover road of the entire country with leather. Of course, this would need hundreds of thousands of cows’skin, and would cost a huge amount of money. Then taking risks of being killed, one of his wise servants dared himself to tell the king, “Why don’t you cover your feet with a piece of leather?” Luckily the king was an open minded and easily persuaded man. So though he was surprised, he later agrees to take the suggestion to make a “shoe” for himself. There is actually a valuable lesson in this story: to make this world a happy place to live in, you’d better change yourself—your heart not the world.

本例中的主题是“改变世界还是改变自己”。那么我们可以分析这一主题：人什么时候需要做出这种选择——改变世界还是改变自己？当然是遇到困难或矛盾时。那么，主人公遇上了什么困难？最终是通过改变世界还是改变自己来解决难题的呢？

至此，还不知道如何预测的同学，不妨再进一步地利用后面的具体内容要点

a b来预测如下：

1. 原文中主人公遇到（经历）了怎样的困难？

2. 他/她是如何应对的？是改变世界还是改变自己？

与单纯地通过主题/话题来进行预测而言，这一种预测方法（利用写作内容2里的各小点）更适合记叙文体的阅读材料。

2. 分析文章结构，准确捕捉要点

有了“指南针”之后，捕捉短文要点就容易多了。那么，如何才能快速、准确地捕捉到文章的要点呢？

首先，从文体入手。一般来说，读写任务里的阅读材料按文体可以分成两种：议论文和记叙文。议论文有三要素，即论点、论据、论证，文章的整体结构多数为总分结构、分总结构、平行结构等。因此，我们通常可以在第一段或最后一段找论点。

如实例一，论点就在第一段开头找到：Mixed ability teaching can do good to bright children. On the contrary, streaming students have many disadvantages.

再看实例二，这是一篇记叙文，我们要找出它的四要素：when, where, who, what等。带着这几个问题去找，自然很快就找出来了。

其次，从过渡语入手。如实例一中，Besides就是一个很好的guide, 因为它通常表示并列或递进的关系，它后面的it is rather unreal to grade people just
