1,What is time order? （概念）
When telling a story,you most probably relate the events in the order in which they occur,In writing,likewise,one of the simplest methods of arranging details in a paragraph is to put them in time order,
Time order lends itself well to explanation of processes,narrative of current events and experiences and historical accounts,
Example,
In the Autumn of 1620,seventy-three men and twenty-nine women started for America in the ship named the,Mayflower”,They reached their destination on November 21st,Later they settled down at a place they called Plymouth,In 1621,they gathered in a large crop and the settlers fixed a date to celebrate their harvest in order to express their thanks to God,This is the beginning of the holiday called Thanksgiving observed in November now throughout the country,

2,Strategies （写作方法）
2.1 Time order used in explanation of processes
Focus,Time connectives （时间关联词）
Example1:

Example2:
First wash the fruits,Second peel them,Third cut them into dices,Then place the diced fruits onto a plate,Finally pour the salad dressing onto them,Now you can enjoy a cool and fresh salad,

2.2 Time order used in narrative of current events and experiences

Focus,Time connectives （时间关联词）
Example 1:
I usually get up early in the morning,Then I go to the lavatory to brush my teeth and wash my face,After that,I go to the sports ground to take some exercise,At 7:30 I go to the classroom,Lunch is at 12:00,After that,I take a nap,In the afternoon,I study either in library or in dormitory,When evening comes,I watch TV programmes for a while,Then I listen to the English broadcast,or prepare my lessons in the classroom,I usually go to bed when the clock striking 11,
Example 2:
Just as I was crossing the road near the top of the hill,a car,travelling very fast,came round the corner,Suddenly it swerved violently,skidded on the wet road,hit a lamp-post and turned over,At once I ran to the car to assist the driver,but he was unconscious,with blood on face,Very soon,a number of people gathered round the car,Among them,a young woman hurried into the station and phone for an ambulance,A policeman arrived a few minutes later and asked me a lot of questions about the accident,Shortly afterwards,the man came round,and he was groaning quietly when the ambulance arrived at high speed and rushed him away to hospital,
Note,The italicized words show time order,
Class activity,Narrate one of your most unforgettable experiences in time order,Use connectives to help achieve coherence of the paragraph,
2.3 Time order used in narrative of historical accounts

The country which is now the United States had its beginning on that strip of land which lies between Nova Scotia and Florida,on the eastern coast,facing Europe,It was here that Jamestown settled in 1607,and Plymouth in 1620.By 1760 settlements dotted the whole strip,in some places far apart,in others close together At that time,about one hundred and fifty years after Jamestown,there were more than one and half million people here,many of them had been born in the settlements,Though New York had been first settled by Dutch,and though Swedes,Germans,Scotch-Irish,and French had also came over,yet the majority of the people were English,the strip of the land was owned by England,and the settlements on it were called,colonies” of England,For most of those early settlers England was home,

It expanded at first at the rate of one cubic inch of additional gray matter every hundred thousand years ; Five hundred thousand years ago the rate of growth hit its peak,Then the growth rate doubled ; and finally it doubled once more,Starting about one million years ago,the fossil record shows an accelerating growth of the human brain,It doubled again ; At that time the brain was expanding at a phenomenal rate of ten cubic in every hundred thousand years,
