说到酸菜鱼，我就忍不住咽了咽口水，因为那酸酸辣辣的味道很诱人。趁今天是母亲节，我决定做一盘酸菜鱼。
首先，我先去超市买了一条新鲜的草鱼，还有酸菜、辣椒、生姜、大蒜、鸡蛋等做酸菜鱼的材料。一切准备就绪，我便开工了。先将鱼去鳞，去内脏，切片；然后加入淀粉、食盐、鸡蛋清搅拌腌制。接着，把刚才准备好的酸菜、辣椒等调味料放入锅中翻炒3分钟，加入适量的开水，煮了3-5分钟放入鱼骨，再熬3分钟放入鱼片煮熟。最后，起锅加入葱花，酸菜鱼就算大功告成了！这一切都做得很顺利，看着自己做得酸菜鱼，我满意极了，禁不住夹了一块鱼肉，嗯！不愧是大厨师，我不禁夸了夸自己，因为实在是太好吃了：肉，鲜嫩爽口，汤，美味可口！
我赶紧将酸菜鱼端出去给妈妈品尝，妈妈尝后，点点头说：“太好吃了，真是青出于蓝而胜于蓝，比我做的还好吃。”听了妈妈的夸奖，我更得意了。
酸菜鱼是怎么来的呢？，我上网查了查资料，关于酸菜鱼的传说有许多，有一个传说是这么说的：壁山县有一个钓鱼翁一日钓得几尾鱼回家，老伴误将鱼放入煮酸菜汤的锅里。后来一尝，鲜美至极，鱼翁逢人就夸，酸菜鱼也出了名。
酸菜鱼真是一道舌尖上的美味，它营养丰富、开胃健脾、醒酒提神，让人吃了回味无穷，还可以帮助消化呢！
英语说明文写作范文 第3篇
It is important to make sure that others know about your strengths and accomplishments; if you are not so,you will be never successful in life.
If people are unaware of your talents and other good qualities, you obviously will not stand out among your peers. To be successful you not only have to work hard, but you have to make sure others know you work hard, as well. Of course you should let others know of your strength and accomplishments, but the best way to let them know is by showing, not by just telling.
College applications-or applications of any kind-are a perfect example. Colleges want what kind of student you are and what kind of student you will be in college. You must show them that you are a good student and that you are interested in whatever you want to study. But in the essay, you cannot just state that you are a good student, are hardworking, and enjoy mathematics; you must show them. If you are interested in mathematics, then you probably did something in high school related to mathematics, such as the math club. In your essay, you must be sure to mention your participation in math club, but also activities your math club in order to show colleges that you will be active in your mathematics major. If you simply state that you like math, colleges will not be as impressed.
It is important to let others know of your achievements; otherwise you will not be successful in life. The field of science can provide many examples of the validity of this statement. In science, communicating your discoveries is as important as discovery things in the first place. Everybody knows that the scientists Watson and Crick discovered the double-helix structure of DNA. Many people are not aware that this model was first theorized by a female scientist working in the same lab as Watson and Crick. However, Watson and Crick published their findings before the woman published her own findings. In science, credit is given to whoever publishes first, so the Watson and Crick are given full credit for the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA. In order to be successful, you must let other people know of your accomplishments.
Granted, there is a fine line between letting people know about your accomplishments and simply showing off.
Nobody likes a show-off, so you must be careful not to rub people the wrong way with your success. People always say that actions speak louder than words, which is good advice to keep in mind when you are trying to let other people
know of your success. Don't just tell people you're good at writing. Start a blog and show people how accomplished of a writer you are.
The key to success is to play to your strengths and to not be shy about showing other people your talents. (460 words)
英语说明文写作范文 第4篇
英语说明文的写作
就“说明对象”而言，英语说明文可分为对“客观具体事物”的说明和对“主观抽象观念”的说明两大类，比如：对“LASER(激光)”、“Computer Problem of Year (计算机问题)”等等的说明都是对客观或者具体事物的说明，而“The Successful Interview(谈成功的面试)”、“How to Write Good English Composition(如何才能写好英语作文)” 等是对主观抽象观念的说明。对我们中学生朋友来说，在汉语说明文的教学中似乎比较侧重前者，即解释客观具体事物的说明文。但在英语说明文中，阐述和说明 “主观抽象观念”的说明文占了很大的比重，其中有些类似汉语中的议论文。但是无论是对“客观具体事物”的说明还是对“主观抽象观念”的阐述，英语说明文从结构上看大致可分为三个部分：第一部分一般是文章的第一段，提出文章的主题，也就是说，文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容;第二部分是文章的主体，可由若干个段落组成，对文章的主题进行展开说明;第三部分是结尾段，对文章的主题作归纳总结。从英语说明文的结构可以看出，要写好英语说明文的关键在于第二部分如何对文章主题进行展开说明。在英语中，常见的用来展开文章主题的方法有下列几种：
1.罗列法(listing)
在文章开始时提出需要说明的东西和观点，然后常用first，second，…and finally加以罗列说明。罗列法广泛地使用于各类指导性的说明文之中，下面这篇学生作文就是用罗列法写成的：
Early Rising
Early rising (早起) is helpful in more than one way. First， it helps to keep us fit (健康)。 We all need fresh air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides， we can do good to our health from doing morning exercise (做早操)。
Secondly， early rising helps us in our studies. We learn more quickly in the morning， and find it easier to remember what we learn in the morning.
Thirdly， early rising enables (使能够) us to plan the work of the day. We cannot work well without a good plan. Just as the plan for the year should be made in the spring， so the plan for the day should be made in the morning.
Fourthly， early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work， such as to wash our faces and hands and eat our breakfast properly.
Late risers may find it very difficult to form the habit of early rising. They ought to make special efforts to do so. As the English proverb says，“Early to bed and early to rise， makes a man healthy， wealthy and wise.”
罗列法经常用下列句式展开段落，我们可以注意模仿学习：
There are several good reasons why we should learn a foreign language. First of all， …Secondly， …And finally， …
We should try our best to plant more trees for several good reasons First of all， …Secondly， …And finally，
必须指出的是，有时罗列法并不一定有明确的first， second…等词，但文章还是以罗列论据展开的。
2.举例法(examples)
举例法是用具体的例子来说明我们要表达的意思，常用for example， for instance， still another example is…等词语引出。下面这篇学生作文就是用举例法写成的：
Recreation
It is impossible to keep in good health unless we take enough recreation (娱乐)。 The mind， too， needs change to make it fresh and vigorous (有活力的) There is much truth in the old saying， All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.“
There are many games which boys and girls can play after their school work is done， for instance， football， tennis， and kite-flying. Other examples of recreation are boating， fishing， gardening， cycling， walking， chess-playing， and reading. Persons who sit much at their business should take a kind of recreation that will supply their muscles (肌肉) with exercise. Those who spend most of their time in the open air and do manual work (体力活) should adopt (采纳) reading or some other quiet form of recreation.
Cycling is said to be an important means of recreation， but many persons foolishly tire out themselves by cycling too much. The same may be said in regard to football. Tennis is a pleasant form of recreation. Many persons take great delight in boating. Fishing requires much patience， and there is much danger of taking cold by sitting still on a cold day too long. A good brisk (轻松) walk is one of the finest forms of exercise. For persons engaged in outdoor labor， chess-playing is another excellent form of recreation.
可以看出，举例法和罗列法有时可以结合使用：即用罗列法来列出例子，用例子充实罗列的说明。
3.比较法(comparison and contrast)
比较法是对两个对象进行比较，从而进行说明的写作手法。比较法又可细分为比较相同点(comparison)和比较不同点(contrast)两种方法，比如：
From Paragraph to Essay
Although they are different in length (长度)， the paragraph and the essay are quite similar in structure (结构)。 For example， the paragraph starts with either a topic sentence (主题句) or a topic introducer followed by a topic sentence. In the essay， the first paragraph sets up the topic focus (主题所在) Next， the sentences in the body of a paragraph develop the topic sentence. Similarly， the body of an essay consists of a number of paragraphs that discuss and support the ideas given in the introductory (引导的) paragraph. Finally， a concluding sentence (结束句) ——whether a restatement， conclusion， or observation——ends the paragraph. The essay， too， has a concluding paragraph which ends the essay logically and satisfactorily. Although there are some exceptions (例外)， most well written expository (说明文的) paragraphs and essays are similar in structure.
可以看出，在比较相同点的时候，常用到similarly，also，too，in the same case，in spite of the difference等这样的词语。
European Football and American Football
Although European football is the parent of American football， the two games show several major differences. European football， sometimes called association football or soccer， is played in 80 countries， making it the most widely played sport in the world. American football， on the other hand， is popular only in North America (the United States and Canada)。 Soccer is played by eleven players with a round ball. Football， also played by eleven players in somewhat different positions (位置) on the field， is played with an elongated (拉长的) round ball. Soccer has little body contact (接触) between players and therefore needs no special protective equipment. Football， in which players make the greatest use of body contact to stop a running ball-carrier and his teammates， needs special protective equipment. In soccer， the ball is advanced toward the goal by kicking it or by butting (顶) it with the head. In American football， on the other hand， the ball is passed from hand to hand or carried in the hands across the opponent's (对手) goal. These are just a few of the features which distinguish (区别) association and American football.
这是一篇用比较不同点的'手法写的说明文。从文章中可以看出：however，on the other hand，in contrast，but，nevertheless等表示转折的词语常用来引导对不同点的比较。
4.定义法(definition)
定义法也是英语说明文中常用的写作手法，特别是在对具体事物概念进行说明时经常使用。定义法的基本要素是定义句。英语中常见定义句的模式是：
被定义对象is所属类别+限制性定语
可以看出，定义句中限制性定语越详细，定义就越精确，比如：
A bat is a small mouse-like animal that flies at night and feeds on(以……为食品)fruit and insects but is not a bird.
其实，在英—英词典中，对英语单词的英文解释就是定义法的典型例子。比如，看看Longman词典对student和teacher的定义是很有意思的：A student is a person who is studying at a place of education or training. A teacher is a person who gives knowledge or skill to sb. as a profession (专业)。
5.顺序法(sequence of time， space and process)
顺序法是指按时间、空间或过程的顺序进行说明的一种写作手法。比如按照时间顺序介绍一个科学家的生平，用空间顺序阐述逐渐开发西部的重要意义，用过程顺序法解释葡萄酒的生产过程等等。
下面这篇学生作文就是用顺序法写成的：
Coal
Coal underwent (经受) many changes before it became the bright， brittle (脆的)， black substance which we now use. During ancient times (在上古时代)， when the earth enjoyed a very warm and wet climate， the land was covered with large forests and big plants. As time went on， the ground changed and began to sink (下沉) a little. These very large numbers of trees and vegetables received a deposit (沉淀) of sand and clay. This layer of sand and clay pressed upon the layer beneath and prevented it from contact with air. These trees and plants received the pres sure and changed its appearance.
Generations after generations (几世纪后)， as the ground kept gradually sinking， another layer of sand and clay was again deposited (积聚) above the layers already formed. A great pressure was thus exerted (作用) and the peat (泥煤) was changed into the black and brittle substance which is known as coal.
Coal is a kind of mineral which is formed by nature as above stated. It is an important industrial material and is chiefly used as fuel. It is very valuable in the industrial world. The place where coal deposit is called a coal mine (煤矿)。 In China， coal mines are largely found in the north-west part of the country. Shanxi is a famous province for producing coal. It has the most coal of China.
6.分类法(classification)
分类法是将写作对象进行分类说明的一种写作手法。比如：著名的英国哲学家弗朗西斯·培根(Francis Bacon)在其脍炙人口的《谈读书》(Of Studies)一文中就用到了分类法：
Some books are to be tasted， others to be swallowed， and some few to be chewed and digested， that is， some books are to be read only in parts， others to be read， but not curiously， and some few to be read wholly， and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy， and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments， and the meaner sort of books…
参考译文：书有可浅尝者，有可吞食者，少数则须咀嚼消化。换言之，有只须读其部分者，有只须大体涉猎者，少数则须全读，读时须全神贯注，孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读，取其所需摘要，但只限题材较次或价值不高者……
——转摘自《英汉翻译教程》(张培基等)
可见，如果能够根据具体情况，选用合适的写作手法，就可为文章增添无穷的魅力。
除了上述提到的6种展开英语说明文主题的写作方法之外，还有因果法、归纳法等其他方法。但相比之下，对于中学生来说，上述6种方法是首先值得掌握的。另外必须指出的是：在一篇文章中往往是以一种写作手法为主，同时辅以其他写作手法。有时，甚至会几种写作手法混用而不分主次。因此，必须根据具体情况，选用合适的展开主题的写作手法，才能写出优秀的英语说明文。

英语说明文写作范文 第5篇
陶艺是一个艺术，今天，我们就打开了这扇艺术的大门，自己亲手制作陶瓷。
中国是陶瓷古国，说起陶瓷，外国人就会想到中国。陶艺是一种人工形态。陶瓷形态的基本材料是土、水、火。人只有掌握了水土揉合的可塑性，流变性，以及成型方法和烧结规律，才能促成陶艺形态的产生和演化，使陶瓷器物产生美的形式。同是注重造型与装饰的有机结合，通过人们敏锐的灵感和创新意识，捕捉并揭示泥土的塑性美、柔韧美以及表现活力，这样就出现了全新陶艺形态，为智慧的人所掌握、发展、创新。任何艺术发展到一定阶段，都会形成完整的技巧。
今天一早，我们就开车来到了运河广场的“陶一天”，一进去都是各式各样的精美的陶瓷，有杯子，有风铃，有“蛋糕”，还有很多可爱的挂件。我和弟弟找了一个位置坐了下来，一位老师让我们从窗台上挑选一个自己喜欢的陶瓷。我左看看右看看，眼睛都看花了。终于，我在窗子的一个角落发现了一个可爱的小兔子风铃。我把它拿了下来，爱不释手。我告诉老师我要做这个风铃，老师就拿来了一块陶泥，坐在我旁边，教我怎么做这个小兔子风铃。我先把一块陶泥拍成圆形，然后把两小块陶泥搓成比较粗的“棍子”，但老师却说我做的不好看。老师教我，首先搓成一个圆柱体，然后把其中一个长方形的面轻轻拍平，最后用工具掏出一个椭圆形，一个兔子耳朵就完成了。接下来，老师又教我怎么把耳朵贴到头上。第一步：把要粘贴的地方刮毛。第二步：把泥浆涂到刮毛的地方。第三步：使劲把耳朵和头贴起来。第四步：用手把多余的泥浆抹平，使耳朵和头连接在一起。在贴的时候一定要用劲，不然烧的时候会掉下来的。我用同样的方式把手和身体贴在一起。当我正要把身体和头贴在一起的时候，老师说：“不要贴在一起，拿去那边用吹风机吹干。”我一头雾水的把兔子拿去吹风，吹到一半时老师让我挖洞，我这才想起来我做的是风铃，就乖乖的开始“挖洞”。把身体挖穿，头只要挖一半就可以了。最后，只要把头和身子贴在一起就ok了。
下面，我就可以去上色了。“恩……画什么表情好呢？”我苦苦思考着。我想了好一会儿，才想出一副可爱的表情。我连忙画了上去，生怕自己等一会儿忘了。我给小兔子穿上了一件小衣服后把耳朵涂上白色的颜料，一只可爱的小兔兔就跳了出来。我用吹风机吹干，交给老师，老师用一根细棍子从头的正中心戳下去，这样就可以把铃铛穿过去了。
唔……还要等到下下个星期才能拿风铃呢，今天，我领悟了陶艺中的艺术，也知道做陶是很不容易的。

我卧室的西墙边矗立着一个高大的乳白色书橱，它高180厘米，长160厘米。它由上下两部分构成，下面是一个电脑和写字兼用的书桌，上面是存放书本的五层书架。
离地大约1米的书桌宽80厘米，左上角有一个直径约5厘米的圆形小孔，是留给电脑上的各种线路穿越的。书桌左边是个高约80厘米宽约60厘米的大柜子，用来放置台式电脑的主机。书桌右边有3个带锁的抽屉，可以存放“秘密”和贵重物品。
书桌上的书架两边的挡板下面宽约40厘米，上面宽约30厘米，由下到上成弧形，看起来像扬起的风帆。书架第一层离书桌桌面最高，供放置电脑显示器的。书架的第二层和第三层高度差不多都是30厘米，可以放置常见大小的书。书架的第二层放了我喜爱的书，有三毛的20多本散文，杨红樱的几十本系列小说和其他一些我精心挑选的文学书籍，这个高度可以让我坐在椅子上随时舒服的拿到每一本书。书架的第三层我放了中国散文名家、中国四大名着、唐诗宋词和一些世界名着等，其中有的书我读过，有的书读过一点，有的书还没有翻开过，随着年龄的增长我对它们的兴趣会逐渐浓厚起来，它们最后都会成为我的朋友。书架的第四层比较高，适合放置大开本的书比如时尚杂志等，这里的书不多，只有小时爸爸给我订阅的儿童画报和剪纸等一些书，后面的空间放了我喜爱的工艺品。左边是一个木制俄罗斯套娃，椭圆形的木筒外面画了一个黄头发蓝色衣服正在起舞的俄罗斯少女，从中间打开，里面从大到小套叠着四个这样的娃娃。套娃后面是一只木雕的鸳鸯，本来有两只的，姐姐也喜欢，一对鸳鸯就被生生分离，“从此害了相思病”。最右边放置的是一对亲嘴猪，两只憨态可掬的猪猪嘴对着嘴卧着，它们肚子里有拉索，把它们拉开一段距离后，两只小猪会慢慢靠拢然后“叭”地亲在一起。书架的第五层离地较高对我不适用，被我放了儿时的毛绒小玩具，其中兔子居多。
我喜欢我的.书橱，每周回家我会认真做清洁。然后安静的在上面做作业，感觉学习累的时候，我可以上网，读我喜欢的书，把玩我喜欢的工艺品，还可以抬头看着那些毛绒玩具回忆一段美好的儿童时光，生活惬意而快乐。
