4、ll be held in Zengcheng and the Dragon Boat Race becomes one of sports and entertainment activities, symbolizing the spirit of patriotism and collectivism. 【思路点拨】 第一步：审题，本篇基础写作为介绍类应用文写作，要注意时态和人称的把握。 第二步：找出内容之间的逻辑关系，并划分5句话。文中，背景句包含两个不同的主语，可以考虑分为两句来翻译。龙舟节的诞生可单独为一句。北宋与明代都是过去人民庆祝龙舟节的记录，因此可以同为一句，最后今年的庆祝仪
5、式和现状是讲述同一时期的事情，因此要合为一句话。【思路点拨】 第三步：寻找恰当的连接词，使用一定的分词，从句，连句成篇。 第一句中，传来国家沦陷的消息与后文之间可以使用时间状语从句，而宋代、明代不同的庆祝方式的对比可以使用while 来构成一个对比句，后面龙舟节的意义是一个评论，可以使用非限制性定语从句或者分词作状语来构成。一、应用文的特点： 1. 因事而写，内容真实。 应用文最基本的特点就是“用”。为用而写，有用才写，这是应用文与其他文章的最大区别。 2. 对象明确，非看不可。 3. 语言得体，文字简约。4. 时间性强，讲求及时。 5. 格式固定，书写规范。二、写作时应注意：1. 正式的应用
6、文有比较规范的格式，但高考中的基础写作至今尚未考查过格式，只要求表达正文内容。2. 注意时态，如日记常用过去时态，活动通知、请柬通常要用将来时态。三、应用文常用句型：1活动通知类：文章开头第一句常常清楚表明活动的名称、时间、地点以及目的。在此类文章中我们常常用介词短语in the activity, to do(表目的)等使文章更加连贯通顺。The Students Union has decided to organize a music week. It will be held in学生会决定组织一次音乐周活动。将在举行。There will be an important lectur
