故事性描写等记叙文摘要写作策略：故事、经历类文章的概要写作时，用一个句子概括故事的起因、经过、结果，若有对该故事思想意义的点拨，还要用一个句子概括此思想意

义。即：要弄清并抓住“起因—经过—结果和意义”进行概括。请再次阅读课本，找出本课课本的起因、经过、结果和意义

⑴ Beginning: The sailors were left on the Elephant Island. ⑵ Development:

They managed to overcome a lot of difficulties. ⑶

故事细节在摘要导写中常可被忽略。对于故事过程的描述，只需要找到细节的共同点便可，如本文第二至五段都是描述他们如何克服困难，没必要把细节一一列举。

此外，此解题思路对任务型写作(故事、经历写作类)有一定帮助：一、描写故事或经历时，可按照“起因—经过—结果以及事情意义”的写作思路和步骤，使文章完整和充实。二、在描述过程时，可从人物心理状态、环境、精神品质以及行为动作等方面丰富描写内容，使文章生动，更具感染力。
