【注意事项】
人物介绍,即介绍某一个特定的人物。在写人物介绍类书面表达时,同学们要注意以下事项:
(1)人称和时态:对于人物介绍类写作,若是侧重对他人的介绍,则以第三人称为主;若是侧重自我介绍,则以第一人称为主。若是介绍人物的姓名、年龄、外貌、性格、特长以及评价,多用一般现在时态;若是介绍人物出生时间和地点,回忆过去经历或事迹等,常用一般过去时态。
(2)写作内容:人物介绍类文章通常涉及人物的姓名、年龄、外貌、职业、爱好、性格、学历、经历、评价等内容。当然,写作时不可面面俱到,要注意严格按照题目的写作要求来写,做到要点齐全,重点突出,详略得当,条理分明。

【真题展示】
(2021年.江苏连云港中考卷)我市第八届“最美港城人”系列评选活动正在进行,你班决定推荐李华同学参加其类别之一“最好志愿者”的评选,请你以“The Most Beautiful Volun- teer ”为题,给校英语报写一篇词数不少于 80 的短文,介绍李华,内容包括:①品质:礼貌、善良、富有耐心;②事迹:乐于帮助老师和同学;周末积极参加各类公益活动,如去街道打扫卫生……。③你的评价:至少两条。
解析:仔细审读题目可知,这是一篇典型的介绍人物的文章。它要求以“The Most Beautiful Volunteer ”为题,从品质、事迹这两个方面着重介绍“李华”这一人物,并写出至少两条个人评价,用来推荐李华参加“最美志愿者”。因为该书面表达是介绍他人,所以人稱应以第三人称为主,时态则以一般现在时态为主。
