20、常广泛，凡是游览中见到社会生活、风土人情、山川景物、名胜古迹以及听到的神话传说等，都可以作为游记的材料。如何才能把游记写好呢？要做到三点：有物、有序、情景交融。1有物中心明确、重点突出。首先，在写游记的过程中一定要把主体交待清楚，如，游的人或者集体、要写的景物究竟是什么，是部分还是整体等。其次，要注意在描写中一定要有一个明确的中心，即：通过描写游览中的所见所闻，把自己的写作目的表达出来，或者表达自己对山水的赞美、热爱，或者说明在游览中发现的哲理等。另外，要努力观察，把所要描写的景物有重点、有层次地写具体，写形象。有时，游览一个地方，你看到的景物很多很复杂，要根据表达中心思想的需要，选择最有特色
21、、最感兴趣的景物，按游踪的顺序，详细地写。还要做到主次分明，详略得当，不能面面俱到。2有序线索清楚。写游记一定要有一条合理的线索贯穿其中。可以按游览路线写，也可以按空间顺序写即根据观察点的转换，描写景物的变化。也就是抓住游览时感受最深的几个场面来写。这样能使重点突出，给读者留下深刻的印象。3情景交融“一切景语皆情语”。这句古语就鲜明地讲出了景物描写和感情抒发之间的紧密关系。因此，在游记写作中，我们把对景物的描写和情感的表达结合起来。更要大胆地表达出自己独特的感受和见解。努力“见常人所未见”，让人读了你的文章之后有一种新的感受，以增强文章的表现力。魔力模版1魔力句子(1)Recently I s
