话题分析
“想了解的历史时期”这是一道事物类的新题,历史类的话题还是比较有难度的,大家除了要知道对于某个时期的比较抽象的概括和评价,还需要积累一些细节的例子来填充。
我们来看看这道题目可以如何串题:
✅ “想了解的历史时期”+“搜索信息的经历”:
课前预习,要了解某一时期的历史,通过各种渠道搜索该时期的信息
✅ “想了解的历史时期”+“有趣的故事/小说”/“喜欢看的电影”:看了基于这个历史背景下的小说或电影,很感兴趣,想要深入了解
第一小问“When it happened” 是何时发生的
描述历史时期,可以从两个方面说,这是发生在什么年份或者时期,并结合主要发生的地点或国家,比如是欧洲中世纪、中国的唐代、冷战时期的美苏等等。然后可以讲一下自己是如何了解到这段时间历史的,是学校内老师上课、还是无意间刷到了视频介绍、或者是看某部电影小说得到的启蒙。
第二小问“What you are interested in”你对哪方面感兴趣
感兴趣的方面,大家可以从人物、文化、科技、局势等方面去聊。人物包括了,你喜欢的历史人物,他们有什么代表作、成功事迹或者个性精神;文化包含了,人民群众的衣食住行、文字书画歌舞方面的艺术成就、精神宗信仰等;科技可以聊当时的科技发明、对后世产生的影响;局势可以聊一些战争兵法、政治博弈等等。
第三小问“What you know about it”你了解了些什么
可以综合概括一下这个时代的特征或者是历史评价,接下来聊具体表现。然后承接第二小问的大方向(人物、文化、科技、局势等),具体展开你了解的情况。比如中世纪被称为是黑暗时期,但是文艺复兴带来了艺术和知识的发展,著名代表人物如达芬奇、米开朗基罗等;或者唐朝是中国封建时代国力最鼎盛的时期,万国来朝,文化远播。
第四小问“why you would like to learn more” 你为什么想了解更多的
首先可以说一下被这段历史吸引的原因,是被人物的精神或个性所打动、还是欣赏艺术作品中的美、或者是深深的民族自豪感和文化自信等等。然后从第三小问中,可以横向拓展,也可以纵向拓展。横向拓展是指同一纬度的,我想了解更多的人、事、物,纵向拓展是指针对于我喜欢的某个方面,去深入挖掘更多细节。
