缩写与改写 （Precis and Rewriting）

　　A．缩写

　　缩写就是要求学生认真领会所读文章的中心思想或主要内容，经过集中思维概括提炼之后，用几句话加以总结成一篇短文。缩写应注意以下几个问题：

　　1）利用原文中所给的语言材料，用自己的话来写。2）概括要全面，删去细节，只要主要事实。3）语言要简练。缩写后的句子的词数必须少于原文句子中的词数，如：I remember that I saw the film a few days ago. → I remember seeing the film the other day. He was so young that he could not lift the heavy box. → He was too young to lift the heavy box.4）缩写后的文章意思要通顺，行文要连贯。阅读短文，然后进行缩写。

　　「范例」 The poorer countries are called“the developing countries.”They have special problems. Sometimes the land is too poor to grow anything on. The land can be improved but a lot of things must be done first. New farming methods（耕作方法）must be introduced. The people must be educated. Water must be found.

　　Many of these problems are too big for one country to solve alone. Help should be given by the richer countries, but it must be the right sort of help. Money is not enough. The developing countries must be helped to help themselves.
