§课文原文 Passage
1A Morning at the Wet Market
I see red tomatoes and green vegetables in every stall. A mountain of golden mangoes catches my eye. The fish sellers shout loudly, and the sounds fill the whole street. I hear a lady singing as she sells her fresh tofu.
2I smell fresh bread from the bakery next door. The durian stall has a strong smell that some people love and some people hate. A friendly uncle lets me taste a sweet piece of pineapple. 'Sweet like honey!' he laughs. The ice on the fish feels cold and wet when I touch it.
3The steamed buns are soft and warm in my hands, and I eat one as we walk. Every colour, sound and smell mixes together and makes the market feel alive. Grandma picks the freshest fish and says, 'Look at its bright eyes.' She teaches me how to choose the sweetest mangoes.
4Mum says the market is the best place to know a city. I agree, because all my five senses are awake here. Next week, I want to write about the night market and describe its lights and smells. For now, I hold my warm bun and smile all the way home.

3逐步讲解 Steps
- 视视觉描写用颜色与形状。例句:The sand is soft and white. The sea is blue. 提示:选两三个最抢眼的视觉特征便足够,堆得太满反而杂乱;形容词放在 be 动词之后最稳妥。观察时先找出最特别的两三处,例如颜色最鲜明的、形状最独特的;选材精准,句子虽少,画面却清晰。
- 听听觉描写写出环境的声音。例句:I can hear the waves and the seagulls. 提示:用 can hear 或 sound like 引出声音;描写街市可用 sellers shout、bells ring,声音令画面立时有动感。声音描写要具体:写出谁在发声、声音像什么,例如 The waves sound like whispers.
- 嗅味触嗅觉、味觉与触觉丰富描写的层次。例句:I can smell the salt air. The wind feels cool. 提示:嗅觉用 smell of,触觉用 feel 加形容词;味觉形容词有 sweet、sour、salty,按场景选用。描写嗅味触时先回想亲身经验:海边的咸味、沙粒的粗糙;写自己真实感受过的细节,句子自然真切。
- 技巧描写文的结构技巧是每段集中一个感官。例句:一段写眼见,一段写耳闻,一段写鼻与手。提示:先写一句总起,如 The beach is beautiful in the morning,再逐个感官展开,最后以感受收结。每段第一句先点明这段写哪个感官,读者就跟著你的感官走;段落之间可以用地点或时间转换,衔接更自然。
- 感官逐一扫像扫描一样逐个感官搜集素材。例句:看 red tomatoes、听 sellers shout、嗅 salt air、摸 soft sand,一个感官一段。提示:先在脑中按五感列表,再挑最生动的写进文章,内容便不会空洞。扫描时可以闭上眼睛回想:刚才看见什么?听见什么?摸到什么?记录下来的细节,往往比一边走一边看更集中。
- 用比喻比喻令描写立刻变得生动。例句:A mountain of golden mangoes,用 mountain 比喻份量多,画面立即浮现。提示:比喻要贴切,可用 like,例如 The clouds are like cotton;也可用 a sea of lights 这类写法。自创比喻时先想特征:圆的像什么?亮的像什么?找到相似之处,比喻就贴切又新鲜。
