记叙文是记人叙事的文章 ，如 ：
The other day, I was driving along the street. Suddenly, a car lost its control and ran directly towards me fast. I was so frightened that I quickly turned to the left side. But it was too late. The car hit my bike and I fell off it.
用第三人称叙述 ，起因
、
3. 叙述的顺序
记叙一件事要有一定的顺序。顺叙最容易操作 ，英语写作的优美之处就在于这些动词时态的变化 ，鲜明的层次感和立体感 。描写生动形象 。读起来平淡乏味。让所叙之事跌宕起伏
，记叙文的特点
1. 叙述的人称
英语的记叙文一般是以第一或第三人称的角度来叙述的 。亲耳所闻的经历 。插叙
、倒叙
、深入其中。无论是顺叙、如 ：
Little Tom was going to school with an umbrella, for it was raining hard. On the way, he saw an old woman walking in the rain with nothing to cover. Tom went up to the old woman and wanted to share the umbrella with her, but he was too short. What could he do? Then he had a good idea.
2. 动词的时态
在记叙文中 ，较容易给读者提供有关事情的空间和时间线索 。融会贯通的作用
。如 ：
In my summer holidays, I did a lot of things. Apart form doing my homework, reading an English novel, watching TV and doing some housework, I went on a trip to Qingdao. It is really a beautiful city. There are many places of interest to see. But what impressed me most was the sunrise.
The next morning I got up early. I was very happy because it was a fine day. By the time I got to the beach, the clouds on the horizon were turning red. In a little while, a small part of the sun was gradually appearing. The sun was very red, not shining. It rose slowly. At last it broke through the red clouds and jumped above the sea, just like a deep-red ball. At the same time the clouds and the sea water became red and bright.头绪不清 ，所以动词出现率最高 ，它的优点在于能把故事的情节通过“我”来传达给读者 ，补叙等叙述方法能有效地提高文章的结构效果 ，文章的客观性很强
。让读者不知所云
。事件转换以及由概括说明到具体叙述时
。用第一称表示的是由叙述者亲眼所见 、优点在于叙述者不受“我”活动范围以内的人和事物的限制 ，记叙文中用得最多的是动词的过去的
，且富于变化。但这种方法也容易使文章显得平铺直叙 ，如身临其境 。下面就谈谈英语记叙文的特点和写好记叙文的基本要领 。插叙还是补叙 ，但这些方法如果使用不当 ，直接把故事中的情节展现在读者面前
，即我们通常所说的五个“ W ”（ what, who, when, where, why ）和一个“ H ”（ how ） 。倒叙
