3逐步講解 Steps
- 外貌描寫外貌常用的詞彙有 tall（高）、short（矮）、slim（纖瘦），以及髮型描述如 long black hair（黑色長髮）、curly hair（捲髮）。例句：She is tall and slim. 要注意描述頭髮時，長度、顏色與髮型可以並列，例如 long straight hair；形容詞放在 is 之後，特徵名詞放在 has 之後；外貌描寫選兩三個最突出的特點即可，不必由頭到腳全部寫完。
- 性格描述性格常用的形容詞有 kind（善良）、funny（有趣）、friendly（友善）、hardworking（勤奮）、helpful（樂於助人）。例句：He is kind and helpful. 要注意性格形容詞與 be 動詞連用；兩個性格並列時用 and 連接；be 動詞隨 he 或 she 不變形，句子結構保持簡單；寫朋友或家人時選用正面詞語，避免負面形容詞，這是人物描寫的基本禮儀。
- 嗜好描述嗜好的句式是 likes 加動詞 ing，例如：She likes reading. He likes playing football. 要注意 likes 之後的動詞必須用 ing 形式，不能說 likes read；主語是第三人稱單數時 like 要加 s；可以在後面補充時間或頻率，例如 She likes reading before bed；也可以用 love 替換 like，語氣更強烈，例如 He loves swimming in summer.
- 結構介紹人物的固定結構是：This is 加名字開頭，然後 He is 或 She is 描述外貌與性格，再用 He likes 或 She likes 描述嗜好。例句：This is my brother. He is tall. He likes cycling. 要注意三個句式各司其職，一般按外貌、性格、嗜好的順序排列；人稱代詞要按性別選 he 或 she，全篇保持一致；按這個框架寫，三四句就能完成一段人物介紹。
- is / has 分工is 與 has 的分工要分清：is 後面接形容詞，例如 She is tall.；has 後面接特徵名詞，例如 She has long black hair. 要注意高矮胖瘦這類性質用 is，頭髮、眼鏡這類看得見的物件用 has，例如 He has glasses；不能說 She has tall 或 She is long hair，兩種句式不可互換；判斷方法是先看後面是形容詞還是名詞，再決定用 is 還是 has.
- 性格要有事例每個性格形容詞最好跟一個具體事例，人物才會立體。例如：She is kind — she takes care of us every day. 要注意事例用一般現在式描述經常的行為；一句性格加一句事例，是最穩妥的搭配；事例可以來自日常觀察，例如幫同學補習、照顧年幼的弟妹；只堆形容詞而不給事例，文章會顯得空泛，這是描寫人物的關鍵技巧。
5例題示範 Example
問題：怎樣寫一段介紹最好朋友的短文？
- 第一步：開頭直接點名，用 My best friend is 加名字，例如：My best friend is Jane.
- 第二步：描寫外貌，is 配形容詞、has 配特徵名詞，例如：She is tall and has long black hair.
- 第三步：描述性格並補充事例，使人物立體，例如：She is funny and kind.
- 第四步：寫嗜好，likes 之後用動詞 ing，並可加上兩人一起的活動，例如：She likes reading. We always sit together.
- 第五步：以感受收結，表達對這段友誼的珍惜，例如：I am happy to have a friend like her.
- 答案：示範答案：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.
