情景导入
老师布置作文 My Best Friend，小舟写道：My best friend is Chen Chen. He is tall. He is nice. He is my good friend.——三句话，像给朋友发了一张"纸片人"证件照。
人物描写的秘诀是：外貌抓特点，性格配事例。说他 friendly（友好），就写一件他帮助别人的小事；说她 funny（风趣），就写她逗笑全班的瞬间。
更要小心的是：通篇写"他/她"，每个动词都要过第三人称单数这一关——这是本讲的语法主战场。
核心词汇
人物描写词汇：
| 类别 | 常用词汇 |
|---|---|
| 外貌 | tall（高的）、short hair（短发）、big eyes（大眼睛）、wear glasses（戴眼镜） |
| 性格 | friendly（友好的）、funny（风趣的）、helpful（乐于助人的）、smart（聪明的）、shy（腼腆的） |
| 友情 | classmate（同班同学）、share（分享）、help each other（互相帮助） |
事例句储备：He often helps me with my maths.（他常帮我学数学。）/ She always makes us laugh.（她总逗我们笑。）
句型与结构
整体结构（三步画像，共 8~10 句）：
- 开头：朋友是谁 + 怎么认识——My best friend is Chen Chen. We are in the same class.
- 主体：外貌一两句 + 性格两句（每个性格词配一个事例）。
- 结尾：友情感悟——I am lucky to have such a good friend.
必背句型逐个练：
- My best friend is Chen Chen. He is thirteen years old.（开门见山。）
- He is tall and he wears glasses.（外貌抓两个特点即可，不必从头写到脚。）
- He is helpful. When I have problems with maths, he always helps me.（性格 + 事例，黄金组合。）
- We both like basketball, and we often play together after school.（写共同爱好，友情有了依托。）
- I am lucky to have such a good friend.（结尾抒情，画龙点睛。）
听说训练
写前口头操练（先说顺再下笔）：
- My best friend is Chen Chen.（我最好的朋友是晨晨。）
- He is helpful and often helps me with my maths.（他乐于助人，常帮我学数学。）
- We often play basketball together after school.（放学后我们常一起打篮球，有这样的朋友我很幸运。）
辨析对比
| 写自己（I） | 写朋友（He/She） | |
|---|---|---|
| 一般动词 | I like basketball. | He likes basketball. |
| have | I have short hair. | She has short hair. |
| 否定句 | I don't like coffee. | He doesn't like coffee. |
注意：从"写我"切换到"写他/她"，动词全部要加 s/es，have 变 has，don't 变 doesn't——写完通读全文，专门检查每个以 he/she 开头的句子。
文化角
英语里关于朋友的谚语很多，最有名的一句是 A friend in need is a friend indeed.（患难见真情。）把它用在作文结尾，是初一学生就能驾驭的"名言收尾法"。另外，英美学生称好朋友为 best friend 或 BFF（best friends forever），但正式作文里要写全称，不能用聊天缩写。
易错点
- 三单漏 s：He like playing basketball ❌ → He likes playing basketball. ✅
- 否定句用错助动词：He don't like coffee ❌ → He doesn't like coffee. ✅
- 性格词堆砌：He is kind, friendly, helpful, funny, smart...一口气五个形容词不如两个形容词各配一个事例。
- he/she 混用：写男生通篇 he，写女生通篇 she，写完检查一遍代词是否前后一致。
中考真题
学校英语报开展"My Best Friend"征文活动。请写一篇短文介绍你最好的朋友，内容包括：
- 朋友的姓名和外貌特点；
- 性格特点（配一个具体事例）；
- 你们常一起做的事和你的感受。
要求：70~90 词，人称和动词形式使用正确。

My best friend is Chen Chen. We are in the same class in a middle school in Hangzhou. He is tall and he wears glasses. He is very helpful. Last month, I was ill and stayed at home for three days. Every evening, he came to my home and helped me with my lessons. We both love basketball, and we often play together after school. A friend in need is a friend indeed. I am lucky to have such a good friend!
点评：① 三步画像完整：身份—外貌—性格事例—感受；② 三单形式全部正确：wears / is / comes 的过去式 came；③ 亮点：生病补课的事例让 helpful 落到实处，谚语收尾添彩；④ 约 90 词。
考点
- 人物描写（好朋友/家人/老师）是七年级上期末的高频作文题，也是中考记叙文的基本功；
- 核心考查：第三人称单数动词变化、外貌与性格形容词、"性格 + 事例"的展开能力；
- 备考策略：给最好的朋友建一份"英语档案"——外貌两点、性格两点各配事例、共同爱好一项，考场直接调用。

诵读小贴士：诵读时特别注意动词尾音——wears、helps、makes 的 s 要读出来，让"三单加 s"变成口腔肌肉记忆；结尾谚语背熟，它是人物类作文的万能金句。
