1、Unit 4 Earthquakeswriting 本单元要求用英语写新闻报道。新闻报道一般是指通过报纸、广播、电视等把新闻传递给他人。新闻报道类书面表达属于记叙文体，包括对事件、人物的描述，但是新闻报道类文稿又有别于普通的记叙文体，此类文章一般有标题、导语、主体和结尾部分组成。写新闻要注意五个W，即：who（人物），what(事件)，when(时间)，where(地点)等交待清楚。有时还要写出why（原因）等。新闻报道要求必须真实，必须以事实说话，不能随意夸大事实，凭想象加一些本身没有的事实。写作时，语言上尽量要简洁，将几个W交待清楚。写作指导 新闻报道可以按时间发生的时间先后依次叙述，也可

4、hole nation was shocked at the news and many people are thinking what lesson we should draw from the fire.3.主体：生体是消息的主要部分，它用充足的事实表现主题它用充足的事实表现主题，是对导语内容的进一步展开和阐释。主体要根据不同内容运用适当句型对新闻细节进行描述。4结束语：一般是最后一句话或者一段话，通常对全文内容作慨括性的总结。有时，作者根据报道的事实在结束语中提出令人深思的问题。写新闻报道时，如记叙事件发生的过程一般用过去时态。有时对事件的现场情景的描述也可以用现在时态，这样会给读者
