情景导入
周末，小舟在西湖边拍了一张照片：有人在划船，有人在拍照，一群孩子在草地上放风筝。英语老师看到后说："就用这张照片来一次看图写话吧——把照片里正在发生的事写下来。"
小舟提笔写下 They fly kites.——老师摇头："照片定格的是此刻正在进行的动作，要用 They are flying kites."
看图写话是现在进行时的"主场"。这一讲我们学会两件事：怎么把动词变成 be doing，以及按什么顺序观察和描写画面。
核心词汇
看图写话高频动词短语（注意 -ing 形式）：
| 原形 | -ing 形式 | 中文 |
|---|---|---|
| fly kites | flying kites | 放风筝 |
| take photos | taking photos | 拍照 |
| row a boat | rowing a boat | 划船 |
| run | running | 跑步 |
| lie on the grass | lying on the grass | 躺在草地上 |
方位表达：on the left / right（在左边/右边）、near the lake（在湖边）、under the tree（在树下）；画面总起：It's a sunny Sunday. ／ What a lively picture!
句型与结构
核心语法：现在进行时 be + doing
- 结构：主语 + am / is / are + 动词-ing
- I am reading. / She is taking photos. / They are flying kites.
动词 -ing 变化三规则：
| 规则 | 例词 |
|---|---|
| 一般直接加 -ing | play → playing，read → reading |
| 以不发音 e 结尾，去 e 加 -ing | take → taking，have → having |
| 重读闭音节双写末尾字母 | run → running，swim → swimming |
画面描写三步走：
- 总起（时间地点天气）：It's a sunny Sunday morning. Many people are having fun near the West Lake.
- 分写（由近到远/由左到右逐个写人物）：每个人物一句 be doing——Near the lake, a man is rowing a boat. On the grass, some children are flying kites.
- 收尾（总体感受）：Everyone is enjoying the beautiful day. What a lively picture!
听说训练
写前口头操练（先说顺再下笔）：
- Look! The children are flying kites on the grass. （看！孩子们正在草地上放风筝。）
- A man is rowing a boat on the lake. （一个男人正在湖上划船。）
- Everyone is having a good time. （每个人都玩得很开心。）
辨析对比
| 一般现在时 | 现在进行时 | |
|---|---|---|
| 含义 | 经常性、习惯性动作 | 此时此刻正在进行的动作 |
| 例句 | He plays basketball every day.（他每天打球——习惯） | He is playing basketball now.（他现在正在打球） |
| 信号词 | every day, often, usually | now, look, listen, at the moment |
文化角
英语里有个说法叫 A picture is worth a thousand words.（一图胜千言。）西方英语课堂也常用 picture description 训练表达，观察顺序讲究 from general to specific——先说整体，再说细节，和我们"总起—分写—收尾"的思路完全一致。西湖十景之一的"苏堤春晓"就常出现在杭州学生的看图写话里：People are walking along the Su Causeway. 这样的句子既真实又有本地特色。
易错点
- 丢掉 be 动词：They flying kites ❌ → They are flying kites ✅，be 和 -ing 缺一不可。
- be 动词配错：The children is playing ❌ → The children are playing ✅，children 是复数。
- -ing 拼写错误：run → runing ❌ → running ✅；take → takeing ❌ → taking ✅。
中考真题
下面是一幅西湖边周日上午的图画：湖上有人划船，草地上孩子们在放风筝，树下一位老人在打太极，路边一些游客在拍照。请根据图画写一篇短文，描述人们正在做的事情，内容包括：
- 交代时间、地点和天气；
- 描写图中至少 3 组人物正在进行的活动；
- 表达你对画面的整体感受。
要求：70 词左右，使用现在进行时。

It's a sunny Sunday morning. Many people are having fun near the West Lake.
On the lake, a man is rowing a boat slowly. On the grass, some children are flying kites and running happily. Under a big tree, an old man is doing tai chi. Look! Near the road, some visitors are taking photos of the beautiful view.
Everyone is enjoying the wonderful morning. What a lively picture!
点评：① 三步结构完整：总起—分写四组人物—收尾感慨；② 每句都有方位短语开头（On the lake / On the grass / Under a big tree），画面有层次；③ be doing 形式全部正确，rowing / flying / doing / taking 拼写无误；④ 约 75 词，符合要求。
考点
- 看图写话是七年级下现在进行时单元的标配写作题，期中期末几乎必考；
- 核心考查：be + doing 结构完整、be 动词与主语一致、-ing 拼写三规则（尤其 running / swimming 双写）；
- 备考策略：背熟"总起句 + 方位分写句 + 收尾句"模板，考场上按图填入人物和动作即可。
