4.到底应该更偏重于哪类的写作题材?
外国人写作没有说“偏重”题材,高中作文中将作文类型分成好多。每一种都要学,都要练。我看了也晕菜。
这是我很早自己教女儿的,那时候刚认识WW网,孩子小,不太上网,专门研究英语教女儿,现在已经没心思了。
这段就是教Persuasion。
学Persuasion,写作中很重要的一种形式。
我:What is persuasion?
女儿:I don't know.
我:Persuasion is like you say something good so people will be persuaded to your point of view. Then they will buy your products.
女儿:I know. It's an advertisement.
我:Well done. But not only advertisement is a kind of persuasion, think of something else. How about catalogue?
女儿:There are products and price in it.
我:Yes, it also persuades you to buy things. Do you know travel brochure? For example, you read a HK Disneyland brochure. A lot of nice pictures show how fantastic the place is. You're like "Oh, I want to go there to play, it must be great fun." So the purpose of travel brochure is to persuade you to go. Also, have you ever seen a poster? A movie poster?
女儿:Yes.
我:What does a movie poster look like?Why do we have a movie poster?
女儿:It tells you the latest movie. It is big, sometimes shining, people are looking beautiful. So you probably go to the cinema to watch it.
我:Right. Poster is a persuasion as well. Why is it always very big?
女儿:Because it can catch your eyes.
我:Well, we know adverts, catalogue, travel brochure and poster are persuasion. If you were the designer, how would you write your advertisement? How do you sell your products? Firstly, you need to think who is gonna be the audience?
女儿:Customers?
我:Yes. Then you have to grab their attention, gain their trust and convince them you are right. If I say this golden necklace costs two yuan. Would you believe? People might think it is a trick or catch, they don't trust.
女儿:They think it is fake.
我:Probably. Now, you can write a poster of your product. What do you need to write or draw to catch your audience's eyes and persuade them to buy it?
女儿:I would like to sell PSP.
