记叙文是初英记人叙事的文章，如：

Little Tom was going to school with an umbrella,语记 for it was raining hard. On the way, he saw an old woman walking in the rain with nothing to cover. Tom went up to the old woman and wanted to share the umbrella with her, but he was too short. What could he do? Then he had a good idea.

2. 动词的时态

　　在记叙文中，倒叙、如身临其境。都要让读者能弄清事情的来龙去脉。描写生动形象。记和叙都离不开动词。英语写作的优美之处就在于这些动词时态的变化，无论是顺叙、从而为文章所吸引，插叙、让所叙之事跌宕起伏，补叙等叙述方法能有效地提高文章的结构效果，如：

　In my summer holidays, I did a lot of things. Apart form doing my homework, reading an English novel, watching TV and doing some housework, I went on a trip to Qingdao. It is really a beautiful city. There are many places of interest to see. But what impressed me most was the sunrise.

　The next morning I got up early. I was very happy because it was a fine day. By the time I got to the beach, the clouds on the horizon were turning red. In a little while, a small part of the sun was gradually appearing. The sun was very red, not shining. It rose slowly. At last it broke through the red clouds and jumped above the sea, just like a deep-red ball. At the same time the clouds and the sea water became red and bright.
