2.写好英语日记的要点1)养成积累词语的习惯从某种意义上说,写英语日记又是最难的写作,因为它包罗万象,涉及到生活的各个方面,对词汇的要求特别高 。因此,在日常学习中,必须做一个“有心人”,准备一本笔记本,对一些英语的习惯表达法及时记录下来,以便在以后记日记的时候可以使用 。
在开始记日记时,碰到一两个英语词汇不会写,不妨用汉语先写上,以后学会了英语表达,再补上去 。千万不要因为一两个词写不出,就没了记英语日记的兴趣,以至放弃用英语记日记 。
只要你注意积累,一定会发觉自己英语日记中夹杂的汉语会越来越少,最后变为全部地道的英语日记 。2)英语日记的写作格式日记的第一行,要写明年、月、日与星期,然后要写明当天的气候状况,如果是游记,还要写明地点 。
这一部分中天气状况比较难写 。下面是一些常用的描写天气的英语词语:晴 clear 阴 overcast 多云 cloudy 小雨 light rain大雨 heavy rain 毛毛雨 drizzle 阵雨 shower东风 east wind 南风 south wind 西风 west wind北风 north wind 西南风 southwester 东南风 southeaster东北风 northeaster 西北风 northwester气温 temperature炎热 scorching heat 寒冷 icy cold 下雪 snow冰雹 hail 虹 rainbow日记正文可以是叙事、描述、说明、议论等各种形式 。
其实,由于日记是非常随便的,因此上述文体常常结合在一起使用 。日记内容取自生活,可长可短,有时无事可记,一两句也可以 。
切忌今天记,明天不记,三天打鱼,两天晒网,破坏了记日记的情趣 。另外,日记也应该尽可能讲究一些文采,切忌写成流水账 。
3)英语日记中的缩写与省略英语日记中的第一行的月份与星期通常都是缩写的:Sunday----Sun Monday----Mon.Tuesday----Tues. Wednesday----Wed.Thursday----Thur. 或 Thurs. Friday----Fri.Saturday----Sat. January----Jan.February----Feb. March----Mar.April----Apr. May----May. June----Jun.July----Jul. August----Aug.September----Sept. October----Oct.November----Nov. December----Dec.另外,英语日记中由于频繁出现I,因此,常常省略,如:In the evening went with Xiao Li to the cinema. Finishing exercises, went to play tennis. 但如果省去I,会造成语义不清时,则不可省去:My sister is good at English, but I am just so-so.实际上,省与不省I,只是作者的一种习惯,为了记日记的方便 。最后需要一提的是,英语日记习惯一年一本,因此日期不必写年份,而只是在每年一本的日记本封面上或者在日记的第一页和最后一页加以注明即可 。
下面三则学生日记供读者参考:Sun., Feb. 1OvercastThe night before the examinationThe clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked gloomily before me at a huge pile of that disgusting stuff they call“books”.I was going to have my examination the next day. “Whencan I go to bed?” I asked myself. I did not answer. In fact I dared not.The clock struck 12.“Oh, dear!”I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!”We students are the most wretched creatures in the world.考试是学生日记“永恒的主题”,写得真实有趣 。Mon., May 9ClearA watermelonGot a present of a watermelon cooled down in the well(在井里冷却过的)from my next-door neighbour. As I was very thirsty, enjoyed it very much. They say the watermelons have turned out very well this summer due to the dry weather.“邻居送西瓜”这样一件小事,充满生活乐趣 。
当然可以作为日记的材料 。文中有省略I的地方 。
