如何写人物传记

人物传记是记叙文体的一种，但人物传记主要写名人或伟人的生平、事迹，因此，写人物传记时要抓住其主要事迹和人们的评论等。
此类文章以人物为中心组织材料，围绕这个人物写一件或几件事，一般按时间顺序来写。
文章一般分为三部分。
第一部分：描写的人物是谁，对这个人物进行总体介绍。
第二部分：以时间顺序介绍这个人物的生平经历、思想见解和贡献等。
第三部分：写人们对他或她的评价以及对后人的影响等。
因描写的事情都是过去发生的事，所以通常用过去时。介绍他人的经历和事迹应用第三人称。

1．be born in ...
2．be known as ...；be famous for ...；became well­known to ...
3．What impressed sb.most was that ...
4．set a good example to sb.
5．encourage sb.to do sth.
6．have a deep effect on ...；be deeply affected by ...
7．be respected by ...；be regarded as ...
8．be remembered as ...
