写好summary技巧 　　众所周知,A summary is a short account giving the main points of something longer or detailed. 按近三年的高考评卷要求,摘要部分单独计分,约30 words,满分5分。要写好Summary,读懂短文内容是切入点。 　　 　　一、写作技巧 　　 　　首先,这样设想:这篇文章只有你读过,你能否把主要内容用书面形式转告给你的同学或朋友,让他们看后一目了然。明确了写summary就是这么一回事之后,因限制大约30个词,考生得开门见山,并掌握写summary的具体方法: 　　1. 省略细节、省略解释、省略重复、省略例子;省略开场白(如省去The passage is about.../ The passage tells us.../From the passage.../The author tells...); 　　2. 用概括性词语代替词组。如表达“事实上”尽量用 “actually”,而不用“as a matter of fact”; 　　3. 用分隔符号、分词结构等代替复合句; 　　4. 用最简练的连词,如but,then,thus,yet,for等过渡; 　　5. 将主题句变同义句,用第三人称改为间接引语; 　　6. 尊重作者观点,不含自己建议; 　　7. 适当运用非谓语动词短语、with短语、倒装句型、定语从句等。 　　另外,写摘要时还要考虑阅读材料的文体: 　　1. 如果阅读材料是记叙文,一般应包括六要素,如某人因何原因在何时何地做了何事,结果如何。有时不一定有六要素,但“某人做了某事”则是必有的。 　　2. 如果阅读材料是夹叙夹议,除体现记叙文六要素外,还要加上该故事给你的启示或感悟; 　　3. 如果阅读材料是说明性或描述性短文,考生就必须用概括的文字来说明某种事物或现象的最主要的特征。 　　4. 如果阅读材料是议论文,考生尽可能客观简要地转述作者的论点和论据等,特别是论点,关键是找主题句。 　　 　　二、实例分析 　　 　　阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 　　I was brought up in the countryside by my grandmother. She was very courageous and inspiring woman and was very beautiful,too. In comparison with her or some of my classmates,I always felt that I was not beautiful or pretty. In fact,when I was studying in middle school,I thought I was ugly and just because of these negative feelings I was not very confident. I often felt self-conscious. One day when I was walking with my grandmother after lunch,we met one of her friends. We talked for a few minutes. Just as my grandmother’s friend was about to leave,she turned to me and said,“Xiao Wen,you look so beautiful today in that green dress.” 　　No one had ever made a comment like that to me before. It was so encouraging. Suddenly I felt confident and happy. I couldn’t believe that someone described me as beautiful. It is true that those words turned my life around. And I admit that I treasured that green dress for a long time. 　　【写作内容】 　　1. 以约30个词概括短文的要点; 　　2. 然后以约120个词写一篇记叙文,描写表扬或称赞给人带来的愉快和鼓舞,并包括以下要点: 　　(a)叙述你或你的朋友被老师或其他人表扬的一次真实或虚构的经历; 　　(b)被表扬
