一、也适合学习者自我训练。此外, 训练指导者方针的好坏是一个前提条件。避免大多生词。以下就一篇短文进行缩写,没有主次。关键词作文等形式。使英语习作从初级到高级沿着一条循序渐进,三个步骤的三种形式,短评可以是对原文观点表示赞同,在习作训练的初期,短文内容有所节略。相承相继,由简到多的进程发展是成功训练者必须具备的指导思想。但要求被缩写的材料难易程度不超过所学课本。个别段落被完全删除以保证缩写重点突出,句子基本上由原文各段落的主要内容构成。本篇认为,在训练初期,短文评论(Brief Comment)阶段。不要拖泥带水,
Most shops in Britain open at 9.00 a.m. and close at 5.00 or 5.30 in the evening. Small shopsusually close for an hour at lunchtime. On one or two days a week-usually Thursday and/or Friday-some large food shops stay until about 8.00 p.m. for late night shopping.
Many shops are closed in the afternoon on one day a week. The days is usually Wednesday orThursday and it is a different day in different towns. Nearly all shops are closed on Sunday. News-paper shops are open in the morning, and sell sweets and cigarettes as well. But there are legal restrictions on selling many things on Sundays. Many large food shops(supermarkets)are self-service. When you go into one of these shops you take a basket and you put the things you wish to buy into it. You queue up at the cash-desk and pay for everything just before you leave. If anyone tries to take things from a shop without paying they are almost certain to be caught. Most shops have store detectives who have the job of catching shoplifters. Shoplifting is considered a serious crime by the police and the courts. When you are waiting to be served in a shop, itis important to wait your turn. It is important not to try to be served before people who arrived before you. Many people from overseas are astonished at the British habit of queuing.
将短文缩写如下:
This article tells us about British shops. British shops usually open at 9.00 a.m. and close at 5.00or 5.30 p.m. Many shops are closed in the afternoon one day a week. Nearly all shops are closed on Sundays. In Britain, many large food shops are self-service. And when you wait to be served in a shop, you have to wait patiently for your turn.
这是一篇不超过100词的缩写,在用词上,层次分明,短文缩写(Summary)阶段。
二、进行习作时,如对前文便可作以下评论:
From the article we learned about British shops, about their opening and closing time and their service. But we find that there are something inconvenient with British shop service. First is the time. Shops in Britain open very late and close too early. Second is that there is almost no Sunday service. Where can people go if they suddenly need to buy something? The last is the habit of queuing. It will be a waste of time if the queue is too long.
