如何寫英語日記

要學好寫英語短文,就必須經常練習寫作。記日記是提高書面表達能力的有效方法之一。

日記分為記事型、議論型、描寫型和抒情型。建議大家在學習寫日記的過程中,可按以下步驟練習:

①仔細觀察周圍的人或事物,注意其特點,將觀察到的令人感興趣的事物或事件記錄下來。

②閱讀別人的日記,並利用所學過的句型來表達個人在一天中觀察到的或感受到的事情。

日記的內容:

1 )一事一記:要選擇當天感受最深刻、最有意義的事件來描述,不要寫成流水帳;

2 )人稱:日記的內容多是親身經歷和耳聞目睹的事情,所以要用第一人稱來寫;

3 )時態:日記多是記述當天發生過的事情,因此動詞時態常使用過去時,但使用時必須靈活掌握。

①描寫景物,名言諺語等,要使用(一般)現在時;②而進行時態則可用於描寫當時正在進行的動作,馬上要發生的事件,以及在某事、某動作正在進行當中,又發生了另外一個事件或動作;③此外,描寫天氣、景色等,為了描寫生動,也可以使用現在時,以表現當時的情景;④文末,發表感想或評論可用現在時態或將來時態。

4 )日記應條理清楚,寫出真實感。

5 )注意格式,包括日期、星期和天氣的書寫位置。

6 )關於標題:在日期和天氣的下一行中間可以寫上日記小標題,也可以不寫標題。

7 )在句式上盡量使用簡單句,以防繁雜,造成語法、句型錯誤。

日記的格式

英文日記通常由書端和正文兩個部分組成。

英語日記的書端:即日記的第一行。要寫明年、月、日與星期,然後要寫明當天的氣候狀況,如果是遊記,還要寫明地點。

左上角是日期(年、月、日)、星期。右上角寫上當天的天氣情況,如:Sunny, Fine, Rainy, Windy, Snowy, Cloudy等。

1.日期表達有多種形式

A) 年、月、日都寫時,通常以月、日、年為順序,月份可以縮寫,日和年用逗號隔開。例如: December 18, 2003 或者 Dec. 18, 2003September 1, 2004或September 1st, 2004也可省略寫成Sept. 1, 2004或Sept. 1st, 2004;the 1st of September in 2004(月份不可以縮寫)

B) 只有月、日

September 1或September 1st(月份可以縮寫)

C) 只有年、月

September 2004或the September of 2004(月份不可以縮寫)

以上的1或1st都應讀作the first。

日記的正文常以第一人稱記下當天生活中的所見、所聞、所做或所想的事情。中、英文的日記三格式大致一樣。

2.星期也可以省略不寫,可將其放在日期前或後,星期和日期之間不用標點,但要空一格,星期也可縮寫。如:

Saturday, October 22nd, 2004;October 22nd, 2004 Saturday

3.天氣情況必不可少。天氣一般用一個形容詞如 :Sunny, Fine, Rainy,Snowy 等表示。寫在日期之後,用逗號隔開,位於日記的右上角。如:

Saturday, March 4, 2004, Windy;1st January, 2004, Fine

下面是一些常用的描寫天氣的英語詞語:

晴 clear 陰 overcast 多雲 cloudy 小雨 light rain

大雨 heavy rain 毛毛雨 drizzle 陣雨 shower

東風 east wind 南風 south wind 西風 west wind

北風 north wind 西南風 southwester 東南風 southeaster

東北風northeaster 西北風northwester

氣溫 temperature

炎熱 scorchingheat 寒冷 icy cold 下雪 snow
