說明路線就是回答他人的問路，是初中英語中十分常見的應(yīng)用文寫作內(nèi)容之一。通常要求作者根據(jù)一幅路線圖寫一則短文，清楚地告訴他人怎樣找到要去的地方。寫路線說明類的書面表達(dá)時(shí)，需注意以下幾點(diǎn)：

1. 首先，要讀懂寫作要求，明確路線的起點(diǎn)和終點(diǎn)。

2. 然后，認(rèn)真觀察和分析路線圖，根據(jù)圖中的標(biāo)志符號(hào)，把要經(jīng)過的路段弄清楚，最后再用準(zhǔn)確的語言表達(dá)出來，寫成短文。

3. 說明路線不等同于面對面的問與答，因此，盡量少用或不用直接引語。

4.短文的時(shí)態(tài)多用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)或一般將來時(shí)。

5. 句型上多用祈使句。

Dear Mike,

I am glad you are coming to my school. Now let me tell you how to get here. You should turn left when you get out of the railway station. Go down the road and you will see the first crossing. Go straight ahead till you see the traffic lights. You should turn right at the traffic lights. Then you will pass by a park which is on your left. Go straight ahead till you get to a bank. You will find that there is a street opposite the bank. Walk down the street about 100 metres, and you will see No. 1 Middle School on your left. You can't miss it.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Yours,

Li Ming
