人物介绍类记叙文的写作
写人的记叙文要求我们抓住人物的典型事例、典型行为来刻画人物的特征。行文中要把握好时间、地点、人物事件等记叙文的要素,写作过程中要注意以下几个方面:
1
.人物的基本要素要全面立体地反映出来,对所描述的情节要突出重点,详略得当,不能记
“
流水账
”
;
2
.写作时要根据需要采用顺叙、倒叙、插叙等不同的叙述方式,以突出重点信息;
3
.写作过程中要注意人称的变化和时态的正确运用。描写人物的外貌、性格、兴趣等常用一般现在时,而描写人物的出生、教育背景、经历、事迹等常用一般过去时。

One possible version

Every time I read
“
...if I had the power of sight for three days...
”
,
I cannot help being moved by its author Helen Keller
,
an ordinary but great American woman.
I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life.She became deaf and blind when she was 19 months old.From then on she lived in a world of darkness and silence
,
and communication seemed only a dream for her.
