Non- finite Verbs in Writing

Non- finite Verbs in Writing

教学设计思路：

中国学生的书面表达由于受汉语语法特点的影响,在句法层面上,句子结构趋于单一化,以简单句和并列句居多。英语非谓语动词结构主要包括动名词、分词和动词不定式,在英语书面语中的出现和使用频率很高。然而,不少学生在写作中却忽略了这种用法。正确适当地使用此结构可使书面表达简洁流畅,并且丰富书面语的句法结构。本节课的步骤为：找高考范文的闪光点、复习非谓语动词的形式和用法、写作中非谓语动词常见的错误、写作前的练习、看图写作。

One possible version:

Getting back what you have lost would be an

unforgettable experience. Last Monday, I lost my

expensive cellphone, on which my name was inscribed.

Fortunately, it was returned.

That morning, I rushed out of my house and jumped

into a taxi, for I would be late for the final examination. On

arriving at school, I headed to my classroom quickly, not

noticing that I had left my cellphone on the back seat.

When the exam ended, to my great surprise, I found the

driver waiting at the school gate. He handed the phone

over to me, wearing a smile on his face. So touched was I

that tears rolled down my cheeks.

From this story, I am firmly convinced of the

significance of honesty, which will contribute to building

a warm and harmonious society.
