8、来。叙事的顺序一般有以下两种：顺叙和倒叙。顺叙多是按照事件发生、发展的先后顺序进行叙述，一般以时间推移为线索，在文章的开头就交代出事件发生的时间、地点和人物。而倒叙多以事件的结局作为文章的开端，然后再按事件发生、发展的先后顺序进行叙述。写作过程中还要注意选择正确的时态，语言简练明晰且紧密围绕主题。3常用表达在编写故事时可以使用修辞手法，使语言更加生动形象。(1)simile(明喻)My love is like a red,red rose.Robert Burns我的爱人像朵红红的玫瑰。罗伯特彭斯(2)metaphor(暗喻)Hope is a good breakfast,but it i
