八年级英语下册Unit6同步话题写作指导
本单元围绕“讲故事”这一话题，介绍如何用英语讲故事。故事大都属于记叙文。一般要有故事的内容（what）、人物（who）、时间（when）、地点（where）、起因（why）、和情节发展（how）.要用的时态主要是一般过去时，常用第三人称。
写作指导
讲述故事时，可按照时间顺序展开。如可用表示时间的词语once upon a time, one day引入故事；用when, then, as soon as叙述故事的发展；用in the end引出故事的结尾。这些词语的使用使故事情节紧凑、脉络清晰。
必背词汇story 故事novel 小说remind 提醒；使想起moving 令人感动的interesting 有趣的relaxing放松的exciting 兴奋的educational 有教育意义的
必背短语long long ago 很久很久以前once upon a time 从前the next day 第二天fall in love 爱上remind sb. of sth. 使某人想起...a little bit 有点儿Instead of代替；而不是in one’s opinion 在某人看来 decide to do 决定做某事get over 克服for the first time 第一次What do you think about…? = What do you think of …? = How do you like…?你认为…怎么样？

Hello, everyone!
Today I will share the story of Yu Gong Moves a Mountain with all of you.Once upon a time, there was an old man called Yu Gong. Although he was almost 90, he wanted to move the mountains. A “clever” man called Zhi Sou said, “You are too old to move them.” Yu Gong said, “If I die, my sons will do this. And if my sons die, my grandsons will continue.” Then a god was moved. So he sent two gods to help him move them.From the story, I learned that nothing is impossible if we work hard and never give up!That’s all. Thank you.

范文I’ve read Who Moved My Cheese. It’s so educational that I’ve read it twice. There are four characters in the book. One day, they find lots of cheese and then they live a happy life. Unluckily, some days later, they can’t find any cheese there. Then some of them try to find cheese in other places. But the others just feel upset and don’t take any action. The book tells us there are changes in our life. We must change ourselves to face the changing environment, or we won’t succeed.
