书面表达中漫画的文字说明对考生把握写作要点有很强的暗示作用,这是个不容忽视的写作技巧,我们常常在写作中遇到这样的考题。这种技巧可以从阅读策略中得到启示。在牛津高中英语译林版模块10的第二单元Reading部分的阅读策略中,有这样一段文字:“When reading a magazine or newspaper article,we often find pictures of the people that were interviewed,along with a short comment from what they said in the interview.These comments are called captions.An author uses these not only to give us some of the important points from the story,but also to match the comment to a visual object,which helps us understand the point of view and who expressed it.”这个策略告诉我们配图的文字说明(captions)是作者想表达的重点(the important points),所以任务型写作也可以通过这个办法快速抓住要点,迅速完成30词概括。
