小學英語作文開頭技巧全攻略:輕鬆寫出精彩第一段

1. 開門見山,揭示主題
文章一開始,就直接點明主旨。例如在〈How I Spent My Vacation〉(我的假期生活)中,開頭便寫道:
I spent my last vacation happily.
而在〈Honesty〉(論誠實)一文中,則是這樣開頭的:
Honesty is one of the best virtues. An honest man is always trusted and respected. On the contrary, one who tells lies is regarded as a “liar”, and is looked down upon by honest people.
2. 交代人物、事件、時間或環境
在文章起始處,先將人、事、時、地等背景清楚交代。例如〈A Trip to Jinshan〉(金山之旅)的開頭:
The day before yesterday, my class went on a bus trip to Jinshan. The bus ride there took three hours. The long journey made us quite tired, but the sight of the beautiful sea instantly refreshed us.
3. 回憶式開頭
以回憶過往的方式展開敘事。例如〈A Trip to the Taishan Mountain〉(泰山之行)的開頭:
I remember my first trip to the Taishan Mountain as if it were yesterday.
4. 概括式開頭
先對文章要敘述的人或事進行概括性介紹。如〈The Happiness of Reading Books〉(閱讀之樂)的開頭:
People often say that gold and silver are the most valuable things in the world. But I believe that reading books is far more precious, because books give us knowledge, and knowledge gives us strength.
5. 環境描寫式開頭
藉由描寫自然景物或環境,引出所要介紹的主題。例如〈An Accident〉(一場意外)的開頭:
It was a rainy and windy morning. The sky was gloomy, the temperature was low, and the street was nearly empty. I was on my way back to school. Suddenly, a speeding car came round the corner.
6. 表明寫作目的之開頭
於文章起始處即說明寫作意圖,例如想要表揚某人、批評某事,或探討某個問題。如〈Pollution Control〉(論污染管制)的開頭:
In this article, I shall draw your attention to the issue of pollution control.
