3逐步讲解 Steps
- 外貌描写外貌常用的词汇有 tall(高)、short(矮)、slim(纤瘦),以及发型描述如 long black hair(黑色长发)、curly hair(卷发)。例句:She is tall and slim. 要注意描述头发时,长度、颜色与发型可以并列,例如 long straight hair;形容词放在 is 之后,特征名词放在 has 之后;外貌描写选两三个最突出的特点即可,不必由头到脚全部写完。
- 性格描述性格常用的形容词有 kind(善良)、funny(有趣)、friendly(友善)、hardworking(勤奋)、helpful(乐于助人)。例句:He is kind and helpful. 要注意性格形容词与 be 动词连用;两个性格并列时用 and 连接;be 动词随 he 或 she 不变形,句子结构保持简单;写朋友或家人时选用正面词语,避免负面形容词,这是人物描写的基本礼仪。
- 嗜好描述嗜好的句式是 likes 加动词 ing,例如:She likes reading. He likes playing football. 要注意 likes 之后的动词必须用 ing 形式,不能说 likes read;主语是第三人称单数时 like 要加 s;可以在后面补充时间或频率,例如 She likes reading before bed;也可以用 love 替换 like,语气更强烈,例如 He loves swimming in summer.
- 结构介绍人物的固定结构是:This is 加名字开头,然后 He is 或 She is 描述外貌与性格,再用 He likes 或 She likes 描述嗜好。例句:This is my brother. He is tall. He likes cycling. 要注意三个句式各司其职,一般按外貌、性格、嗜好的顺序排列;人称代词要按性别选 he 或 she,全篇保持一致;按这个框架写,三四句就能完成一段人物介绍。
- is / has 分工is 与 has 的分工要分清:is 后面接形容词,例如 She is tall.;has 后面接特征名词,例如 She has long black hair. 要注意高矮胖瘦这类性质用 is,头发、眼镜这类看得见的物件用 has,例如 He has glasses;不能说 She has tall 或 She is long hair,两种句式不可互换;判断方法是先看后面是形容词还是名词,再决定用 is 还是 has.
- 性格要有事例每个性格形容词最好跟一个具体事例,人物才会立体。例如:She is kind — she takes care of us every day. 要注意事例用一般现在式描述经常的行为;一句性格加一句事例,是最稳妥的搭配;事例可以来自日常观察,例如帮同学补习、照顾年幼的弟妹;只堆形容词而不给事例,文章会显得空泛,这是描写人物的关键技巧。

- 第三步:描述性格并补充事例,使人物立体,例如:She is funny and kind.
- 第四步:写嗜好,likes 之后用动词 ing,并可加上两人一起的活动,例如:She likes reading. We always sit together.
- 第五步:以感受收结,表达对这段友谊的珍惜,例如:I am happy to have a friend like her.
- 答案:示范答案:My best friend is Jane. She is tall and has long black hair. She is funny and kind — she always makes me laugh. She likes reading, and we sit together every day. I am happy to have a friend like her.
