把生活中碰到的、电视上或书上看到的各种科幻形象特点揉合，充分发挥想象力，创造一个生动的角色，确定作文的主题。二、构思情节情节内容的设定要新奇，吸引人。充分发挥想象力，在科学基础上合理想象。比如写未来生活中的机器人，可以写外貌特征、功能，也可以写机器人的思想情感等。ContentRhetoricaldeviceBeginningDevelopingClimaxEnding你校校报英语角举办科幻故事征文比赛,请你写一个关于飞碟的故事参加比赛。内容包括:1.时间,地点;2.主要情节;3.你的感受。注意:1.词数80左右;2.故事题目已经给出,不计入总词数。TheSaucer___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________明确话题：科幻故事，飞碟明确时态人称：一般过去时，第一人称文章架构：背景；发生的过程；想法和感受列出要点：时间、地点、主要情节、感受TheSaucer

identity

theft

know

they

the

police

right

away.”建议在这种情况下,要报警。A项“他们可能抓不到罪犯”承接上文,说明报警后的一种情况是,警察有可能抓不到罪犯,引出下文“But

as

having

reported

theft

and
