WRITING TIPS
我的“故事”我来叙述
☆ 文体介绍
用英语叙述一个故事，属于记叙文类写作。叙述即记叙和述说，就是把人物的经历或事情发展的变化表达出来。它是一种记人叙事并陈述其来龙去脉的表述方法。叙述有三大作用： ①介绍事件的发生、发展的过程；②介绍人物的经历； ③为议论说理提供论据。本文要讲到的是用叙述来介绍事件。
☆ 任务聚焦
请你按照以下提示，叙述法国昆虫学家法布尔沉迷于昆虫研究的小故事。
法国昆虫学家(entomologist)法布尔(JeanHenri Fabre)的心中只有昆虫，他的生活世界就是昆虫的世界。
一次，他正在路上走着，看见一群蚂蚁在搬一只死苍蝇，就掏出放大镜观察起来。农夫们上工时就看见他趴在地上，等收工回来，仍看见他趴在原地一动不动。
还有一次，为了捕捉一只昆虫制作标本，他追着虫子跑了几百米，就在要捉住虫子的一刹那，他担心自己会因奔跑的惯性而用力过猛，碰坏了小虫子的腿，就故意摔了一跤，以减缓冲力。这一跤差点跌断了法布尔的一条腿。
☆ 激活大脑
要想很好地叙述某一事件，我们需要做到以下几点：
1．线索要交代清楚。只有在理清线索后，我们才能抓住它来叙述。
2．六要素不能忘。 要根据实际情况，把六要素交代清楚，即：人物、时间、地点、起因、经过和结果。否则，文章就会显得内容不完整，眉目不清楚。
3．巧构思精选材。材料不能信手拿来，而要根据主题的需要优中选精；为了达到不同的效果，我们可以尝试不同的组织方式，比如可以用顺叙、倒叙、插叙和补叙等。
4．详略得当又起波澜。 在叙述时，一定要注意详略得当，不能背离主题；同时，也要避免浅直无味。生活是多姿多彩的，只要大家平时注意观察和积累，是不难找到合适的素材的。

☆ 范文参考
JeanHenri Fabre was a famous French entomologist who devoted himself to the research into insects, or rather (更确切地说), his world belonged to insects.
One time, he was walking when he was attracted by a group of ants who were carrying a dead fly. Immediately he began to observe the ants with a magnifying glass on him. The farmers on their way to work noticed him lying on his front with his face towards the field. But when they came back after work, they found JeanHenri Fabre still kept staying where he was.
Another time, in order to catch an insect for preparing specimens, he was running after an insect as far as hundreds of meters away. He was about to catch it when he suddenly fell down on purpose for fear that he would injure the insect’s legs. As a result, he himself even risked losing one of his own legs.
