记叙文主要是由时间(when)、地点(where)、人物(who)、事件(what)、原因(why)和结果(result)六要素构成。一般来说，记叙文要把事件和人物活动写清楚，这六要素缺一不可。

　　叙事类写作以叙述事件为主，可以说事件是记叙的核心。写事件要交代事情的来龙去脉，可按事件发生的时间先后顺序依次叙述。同时要求重点突出，目的明确，详略得当。当然，构思新颖也是写好叙事文的重要要求。这里的构思就是指文章的立意要新颖，组织材料和表现手法上要巧妙。在句式上，表示本人的经历或耳闻目睹的事件用第一人称，表示他人的经历和事件用第三人称。

　　【赏析】 A Football Game

　　Yesterday we had a football game against the team from Class Four. Their players were good. We really felt a little afraid of them. But Zhang Xin, the leader of our class team, said, "Although they are good players, their team is weak." Zhang Xin is about 1.68 meters tall and his number is twelve. He can kick two or three goals every match. Then he told us,"Remember that we are a team and we'll win the game."

　　At the beginning of the match, a player from Class Four ran with the ball. Zhang Xin ran over quickly to stop him. He got the ball and kicked the goal! He kept on passing the ball to other players. We passed the ball to each other like him. The players from Class Four were getting anxious. They were angry with us. But we continued to pass the ball.

　　At last we kicked four goals and they kicked two. We won the game! We were very happy.

　　【评析】本文的成功之处就是构思新颖，条理清楚，行文表达自然流畅。文中的事件发展变化较多，但不乱。小作者记叙了"昨天我们班和四班进行了一场足球赛，我们班以4比2获胜，打败了去年的冠军队--四班"。文章突出Zhang Xin表现得棒极了。

　　【建议】叙事类写作要表达清楚事件发生的时间、地点、原因和结果等内容。在结构方面，大多采用纵向结构，即文章在安排内容时，各类细节按其出场的先后顺序或以事情发生的时间顺序排列；在句式方面，应尽量使用简单句，避免使用复合句(除非必要)。因为简单句的结构比较简单，意思明确；在时态上，由于所记的内容大多是过去发生的事，所以这些句子中谓语动词大多用过去时态。

　　建议大家从模仿别人的范文开始，描写我们的篮球比赛、校运动会等场面，抓住重点，尽量使用课本中出现的短语。相信这样模仿出来的文章一定也是一篇好文章。快快行动吧。
