《典范英语》每个故事都有一个明确的主题。以《典范英语》1-6为例,309个故事中,学校学习、课外活动、假期生活、旅行探险等各个主题一一涵盖。下面我们以“假期生活”这一主题为例,一起看看崔老师女儿根据这一主题创作的作文:Hamster’s holiday
Karmen, Tom, Rose, Huck and Lisa went to the seaside on their holiday. Tom was sleeping on the sand. Karmen and Lisa made a sandcastle on Tom's leg. Lisa found some shells, and Karmen used the shells to write "Tom" on the sandcastle. Tom woke up. "I'm cross!" said Tom. He threw Karmen in the water. Rose and Huck were having a swimming race in the sea. "come on, Rose." said Lisa. "Come on, Huck!" said Tom. Huck won the race. "What a good holiday!" They said.
I finallyreached the nest, and it was almost at the top of the hill. I feltrelieved, but just at that moment, the stone which I've stepped down, began to fall! I thoughtquickly, and grabbed a part of the nest in a flash. “That's close.” I said to meself, patting my chest. I lookedcarefully in the nest to find Goldie's feet (because I thought she was killed), and I moved an egggenteelly. Then, I put it back. Nothing except 3 normal eggs, I thought. But just then, a black spotdropped to me, and it was getting bigger. A funousfalcon! I turnedpale, “What shall I do!”
点评:故事情节描写主人公除了发现小鹰,还发现了一个蛋,结果为了找Goldie而移动蛋后,老鹰回来了!主人公该怎么办?(故事情节是不是很有张力?)除了内容创作,你还可以发现"grab" "reach" "step" "pat" "look" "move"……一系列动词的灵活使用,和“in a flash” "What shall I do"等地道语句的表达,语言的运用能力是不是比前两阶段有明显的提升呢?
