科幻故事写作属于想象性作文。要求创造出从未接触甚至根本不存在的新形象。允许自由想象、自主发挥的空间较大, 因此需要灵活的思维和丰富的想象力。科幻类作文包括两个主要因素：科学、幻想。科学既要有科学依据，要遵循科学原理。幻想是指对现实中不可能或者目前不可能发生的事情的奇特想象。因此在写作时要注意：可以有新奇大胆的想象但要有一定的科学知识作基础，要科学幻想而不是胡思乱想。可以从自己的生活出发进行幻想，寻找题材，可以就如何解决现实或者未来世界中会出现的问题进行合理想象。

Suddenly a bright light flashed across the sky and then near my tent appeared a flying saucer, which looked just like the one in the book I had read during the day.I quickly hid behind a stone and saw an alien come down through a round door.He walked into my tent and came out with something in his hand.The UFO then flew away.I immediately ran into my tent and found that my Pad was gone.
