写法指导
　　记叙文是以写人、叙事为主要内容的一种文体，也是英语作文中最普遍、最基本的文体。它一般包括两种：事实记叙文和想象记叙文。事实记叙文是写真实的事情，常用一般过去时；想象记叙文是写虚拟的故事，常用一般现在时。它们的特点都是通过对人物、事件和景物的描写，表现文章的主题和作者的思想感情。记叙文写作的基本要求是：
　　①要有明确的中心思想；②记叙要清楚明白；③线索要清晰；④要有恰当的叙事角度；⑤选材要详略得当。
　　具体地说，记叙文写作要把握以下几点：
　　1．记叙文所记叙的事件必须相关连。要有开头(beginning)、中间(middle)和结尾(end)。在必要时加入冲突(conflict)，以使情节曲折，跌宕起伏。一般说来，写记叙文应把握好六个要素：who(何人)、what(何事)、when(何时)、where(何地)、why(何因)、how(怎么样)。初中阶段多为叙事短文，一般应包括where、who、what这三个最基本的东西。
　　2．写作时观点的掌握非常重要。记叙文常用第一人称或第三人称两种人称记述。用第一人称的角度记叙，使人感到亲切，读者很容易产生身临其境之感，相信真有其事。这种形式常用在写自传、本人的经历或记叙耳闻目睹的事件；用第三人称的角度记叙，使人感到客观。这种形式常用在对重大事件的客观报道以及记叙他人的经历或事迹。
　　3．常见的叙述方式有：①顺叙。按事情发展的顺序或时间顺序进行叙述。②倒叙。把事情的结局或某个突出的片段提到前面叙述，然后再按照事情的顺序叙述下去。③插叙。在叙述过程中，由于某种需要，暂时把叙述的线索中断一下，插入有关的另一叙述。④夹叙夹议。一方面叙述事情，一方面对这件事情加以分析或评论。
　　
　　My Boyhood
　　My boyhood has gone and can never come back. ①Yet I still can not forget those happy days of boyhood.
　　My boyhood was filled with laughter and joy.
　　②My family is not rich, but as there is only a boy in the family, I become my parents' best treasure. Mother is a teacher of Chinese. She is my first teacher, too. Moth- er knows a lot of interesting stories. ③I well remember I often asked Mother to tell me stories. Sitting by her after supper, I listened to her with fascination. How I liked those tales told by Mother! They always brought me to a different world.
　　When I fell sick and had to be in bed, my parents were then the most unhappy in the world. They took good care of me, and did all kinds of things to make me happy. Mother didn't leave me until I got well again.
　　④I also remember once Father brought me a little cat. I named her Mimi. She was yellow in colour. I made a comfortable bed for her. It was a small basket full of cotton. Mimi liked it very much and slept in it quietly.
　　Mimi loved to run in the garden and play with a ball. Ｉ was glad that I had a friend to play with every day.
　　The thought of my boyhood is like a dream.
