如何写事物描写文

事物描写文属于说明文范畴。要求写作目的明确，实事求是，把介绍的对象说明白。写作时，层次要分明，安排要合理，过渡要自然，语言要简练，用词要准确，使人们对被说明的人或事物有一个清楚、完整的认识和了解。

事物描写类文章属于描写文的范畴，描写事物通常采用一般现在时态。介绍事物时要注意以下几点：

1．要考虑好描写的视角和次序。视角，就是我们通常所讲的人称，用第一和第三人称都可以。描写次序是指先写什么后写什么的问题。一般来讲，英语描写文是按空间顺序来写的。

2．要选择重点部位或内容来写。无论描写什么景物都不可能面面俱到，故要选择最能体现事物特征的几个方面作详细描述。

3．要选好主题，突出主题，用细节来烘托主题。发挥想象力，从不同的方面描写景物的特征，把它活灵活现地呈现在读者的面前，唤起读者的想象和情感共鸣。

4．具体写作时要注意的细节：

(1)文章的组织要有层次顺序，避免忽东忽西，杂乱无章。

(2)充分利用、正确选用形容词和副词，以达到引人入胜、生动直观的效果。

(3)尽量使用简单常用的词语和单句，少用或不用复杂冗长的复合句，以避免出错。

(4)描写一般使用动词的现在时态。

黄金表达：

1. (It is) Located/Situated at the back of/in the east of/in the front of/at the southwest of ...

2. It covers an area of ... 3. The old building is 20 years old/dates back to/dates from ... 4. In the east of/East of the old building is/lies ... 5. It plays an important role/part in our life ... 6. It really makes our school beautiful ...
