1.“開門見山”式開頭
一般來說,文章的開頭應(yīng)盡量做到“開門見山”,即要用簡(jiǎn)單明了的語言引出文章的話題,使人一開始就能了解文章要說明的內(nèi)容。
①對(duì)于敘事類的文章,可以在開頭把人物、時(shí)間、事件和環(huán)境交代清楚。
如“A Trip to Huangshan(黃山之旅)”的開頭可以是: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.
?、趯?duì)于論述性的文章,可以在開頭處先闡明自己的觀點(diǎn),接著展開進(jìn)一步的論述。
如“The Time and the Money(時(shí)間和金錢)”的開頭可以是: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……
2.回憶性開頭
在描述事件或游記類的文章中,采用回憶性的開頭往往更能吸引人的眼球。這種類型的開頭中通常含有描述自己心情或情緒的詞匯,如never forget(永遠(yuǎn)無法忘記)、remember(記得)、unforgettable(難以忘懷的)、exciting(令人激動(dòng)的)、surprising(令人驚訝的)、sad(難過的)……
如“A Trip to Huangshan(黃山之旅)”的開頭還以這樣寫:I will never forget my first trip to Huangshan.或It was really an unforgettable experience I had.
3.疑問性開頭
在敘事類或論述性的文章中,都可采用疑問型開頭,這樣既可以吸引者的注意又容易抓住中心。
如“Planting Trees(種樹)”的開頭可以是:Have you ever planted trees?Don’t you think planting trees is……
再如“Traveling Abroad(出國(guó)之旅)”的開頭可以是:If you have an opportunity to travel abroad,why not consider Singapore?
4.倒敘式開頭
在有的文章,特別是敘事類的文章中,可以采用倒敘的寫作手法,先寫出事件的結(jié)果,再陳述過程。
如“Catching Thieves(捉賊)”的開頭可以這樣寫: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.
