開場怎樣才吸引？

用一個具體事件或懸念開場，例如閘門打開、狗不見了，勝過天氣晴朗一類空話。

為甚麼要用五感？

嗅覺、觸覺等描寫讓讀者置身現場，比單一形容詞更有力。

小學英文短篇故事寫作第三份：開場、感官與結尾

練背景交代、過去式一致性、時間連接詞、五感描寫，並寫出收束教訓的結尾。

練習重點　開場用具體事件抓住讀者；描寫靠感官與細節，結尾一句點出改變與教訓。

題號	答案	一句解說
1	the setting	時間與地點合稱背景（setting）。
2	visited	Last Sunday 是過去時間，動詞要用過去式。
3	Then	Then 表示時間先後，But 表示轉折。
4	smell	smelled 直接寫出嗅覺。
5	Clothes covered the floor.	用具體畫面代替 very，讀者才看得見。
6	was walking	While 引出較長的背景動作，用過去進行式。
7	Its head touched the ceiling.	用可量度的畫面代替形容詞，效果更具體。
8	(B)	具體事件與懸念比空泛的開場有力。
9	gives the lesson	結尾點出改變與教訓，回應開頭的失誤。
10	Every morning, Lily walked to school and saw a cat.	同一句內兩個動詞都要用過去式，walks 應改 walked。
