寫作任務

假設你校的美籍教師Mrs. Smith邀請你及英語俱樂部的其他成員下周六去她家吃晚餐。你打算在本周五下午的英語角上向俱樂部成員介紹西方的餐桌禮儀。請你根據(jù)下列提示寫一篇不少于100詞的英語發(fā)言稿。

提示：

1. 進餐時身體要坐正，手可以放在桌上；

2. 使用刀叉時，應右手用刀，左手用叉；

3. 用餐時，輕聲說話，不要嘴里含著食物說話；

4. 吃光自己盤子里的食物是一種禮貌的行為；

5. 不要隨意離席，用餐結束時，要對主人表示感謝。

【思路點撥】

1. 審題：本寫作任務要求寫一篇發(fā)言稿。

2. 任務分解：發(fā)言稿通常可以分為以下幾個部分：

3. 確定時態(tài)、人稱等：習作內(nèi)容以第二人稱為主，可以適當使用祈使句，時態(tài)以一般現(xiàn)在時為主。

【錦言佳句】

1. When at table, you're supposed to sit up straight.

2. Please keep the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand.

3. Don't speak with your mouth full of food.

4. It is polite to finish eating everything on your plate.

5. It is impolite to leave the table before the host gives the signal.

6. You should express your thanks to the host before you leave the house.

【學生習作】

Good afternoon, everyone.

Do you want to behave well when having dinner with Mrs. Smith? I'd like to tell you something about Western table manners.

When at table, you're supposed to sit up straight. You can put your hands on the table. Please keep the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand. Don't talk and laugh loudly all the time. Try to speak quietly. Don't speak with your mouth full of food. And, it is polite to finish eating everything on your plate. It is impolite to leave the table before the host gives the signal. After the dinner, don't forget to express your thanks to the host before you leave the house.

That's all. Thank you.

【習作點評】

該篇習作開頭部分引入自然、流暢，正文部分根據(jù)提示信息條理地介紹了西方的餐桌禮儀，語言簡潔、準確。如果能適當加入對某些習慣的解釋、說明，會使習作內(nèi)容更完整，更有利于聽眾對西方餐桌禮儀的了解與認識。

Good afternoon, everyone.

Do you want to behave well when having dinner with Mrs. Smith? I'd like to tell you something about Western table manners.

When at table, you're supposed to sit up straight. You can put your hands on the table. Please keep the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand. Don't talk and laugh loudly all the time. Try to speak quietly. Don't speak with your mouth full of food, for it is considered to be bad manners. And, it is polite to finish eating everything on your plate, which is a little different from Chinese food culture. It is impolite to leave the table before the host gives the signal. After the dinner, don't forget to express your thanks to the host before you leave the house.

That's all. Thank you.
