Tips for Writing a Personal Description about Yourself
關于個人介紹寫作的建議
?Use "come from" for the city or country where you were born. Use "live" for the city where you currently live.
?Use the present simple tense to explain what you do every day.
?Use "have" or "have got" to speak about your children, pets, etc.
?Use "a" the first time you mention something. For example, I live in a house. Then use "the" after the first time you write about it. For example, I live in a house. The house is in Seattle.
?Remember to use he, his, him for boys and men and she, her, her for girls and women. Use "our" when speaking about the whole family.
?Use "like doing" when speaking about hobbies.
介紹你出生的城市或國家時,要用come from。介紹你現(xiàn)在居住的城市時,要用live。
用一般現(xiàn)在時來介紹你的日常生活。
用have或have got來介紹你的孩子、寵物等等。
第一次提及的事物前面,用a。例如,I live in a house.再次提到就用the.例如,I live in a house. The house is in Seattle.
記住,在指代男孩子或男人時,用he、his和him,指代女孩子或女人時,用she、her和her。在指代整個家庭時,用our。

She studies every day and sometimes works in the evening at a small shop. The shop sells gift items like postcards, games and other small items. She enjoys playing golf, tennis and walking in the countryside.
瑪麗是我的朋友。她是我們鎮(zhèn)子里的一名大學生。那個大學很小。她住在鎮(zhèn)子中心的一座公寓里。她既不養(yǎng)貓,也不養(yǎng)狗。她每天都學習,有時候晚上會在一個小商店里打工。那個商店售賣一些禮物,如明信片、游戲和其他小物件。她喜歡打高爾夫、網(wǎng)球或者在鄉(xiāng)下遠足。
Tips for Writing a Personal Description about a Friend
介紹朋友的技巧
?Remember to add "s" to the present simple tense when writing about other people.
?In the present simple tense, "doesn"t" takes the "s" in the negative form. Remember to use "doesn"t + verb" in the negative.
?Use sometimes, often, never, etc. before the main verb in a sentence.
?Remember to use he, his, him for boys and men and she, her, her for girls and women.
?Use "enjoys doing" when speaking about hobbies. It"s okay to connect a few verbs using commas, but place "and" before the final verb in the list when speaking about someone"s hobbies. For example, She enjoys playing tennis, swimming and riding horses.
記住在介紹別人的時候,一般現(xiàn)在時里要加上s。
在一般現(xiàn)在時里,否定形式中的doesn’t要帶上s。記住,在否定句中使用doesn’t+動詞。
在一個句子中,在主動詞前使用sometimes、often、never等詞。
記住,在指代男孩子或男人時,用he、his和him,指代女孩子或女人時,用she、her和her。
在介紹別人的愛好時,使用enjoy doing。你可以用逗號將幾個動詞連起來,但最后一個詞語前就要用and。例如,She enjoys playing tennis, swimming and riding horses.
