說(shuō)明路線(xiàn)就是回答他人的問(wèn)路，是初中英語(yǔ)中十分常見(jiàn)的應用文寫(xiě)作內容之一。通常要求作者根據一幅路線(xiàn)圖寫(xiě)一則短文，清楚地告訴他人怎樣找到要去的地方。寫(xiě)路線(xiàn)說(shuō)明類(lèi)的書(shū)面表達時(shí)，需注意以下幾點(diǎn)：

1. 首先，要讀懂寫(xiě)作要求，明確路線(xiàn)的起點(diǎn)和終點(diǎn)。

2. 然后，認真觀(guān)察和分析路線(xiàn)圖，根據圖中的標志符號，把要經(jīng)過(guò)的路段弄清楚，最后再用準確的語(yǔ)言表達出來(lái)，寫(xiě)成短文。

3. 說(shuō)明路線(xiàn)不等同于面對面的問(wèn)與答，因此，盡量少用或不用直接引語(yǔ)。

4.短文的時(shí)態(tài)多用一般現在時(shí)或一般將來(lái)時(shí)。

5. 句型上多用祈使句。

Dear Mike,

I am glad you are coming to my school. Now let me tell you how to get here. You should turn left when you get out of the railway station. Go down the road and you will see the first crossing. Go straight ahead till you see the traffic lights. You should turn right at the traffic lights. Then you will pass by a park which is on your left. Go straight ahead till you get to a bank. You will find that there is a street opposite the bank. Walk down the street about 100 metres, and you will see No. 1 Middle School on your left. You can't miss it.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Yours,

Li Ming
