怎样写好英语段落

段落(paragraph )是由表达单一中心思想(controlling idea or central idea )的一组句子(包括主题句topic sentence,推展句supporting sentences及结论句concluding sentence)构成,是文章结构的基本独立单位。

主题句与推展句

1.主题句

主题句(topic sentence)是表达段落主题的句子。它用以概括段落大意,要求全段其他文字都围绕它展开。请看下例:

My mother has passed along to me certain rules for getting along with others. Don’t argue with parents; they will think you don’t love them. Don’t argue with children; they will think themselves victimized. Don’t argue with spouses; they will think you are a tiresome mate. Don’t argue with strangers; they will think you are not friendly. My mother’s rules, in fact, can be summed up in two words: Don’t argue.

主题句中提出的“certain rules” 指的是什么?展开句中通过四个“Don’t argue—“ 逐一加以交代。从结构来看,这是一个比较典型的段落,它包括了主题句,推展句和结论句(即本段中的末句)。

1.1主题句的位置

主题句通常放在段落的开端,其特点是开门见山地摆出问题,然后加以详细说明。其作用是使文章的结构更清晰,更具说服力,便于读者迅速地把握主题和想象全段的内容。主题句可以放在段中起到承上启下的作用,或放在段尾起概括全段的作用。但初学者比较难于掌握,因而在四级考试中,考生应尽量采用将主题句放在段落开头的写作手法。

例1: Our life today depends very much on energy. In towns and in villages, on farms and in factories, machines have made life easier than it used to be. The machines use energy, and energy is needed for heating, lighting, communications, carrying goods—everything. Factories and industrial plants use a great deal of energy to make the things that we use and buy and sell.

这段文字所讲的主要是能源问题。第一句就概括性地提出“我们目前的生活很大程度上依赖于能源”。而随后出现的三句都是具体事例,对第一句进行说明和论述。我们可以断定第一句为该段的主题句(斜体部分)。

例2: (主题句)No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements.(推展句1)Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts a subtle influence on us. (推展句

2)In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertisers have made a close study of human nature and have classified all our little weakness.

以上这段由三句话组成。第一句是主题句,直截了当指出无人不受广告影响这个主题,接着列举两个推展句对其补充和支持,指出我们已无法自由选择所需的商品,理由是广告商已仔细研究了我们的心理,并完全掌握了我们的弱点。句子衔接自然,步步紧扣主题。

1.2如何写好主题句中的关键词

段落的主题句对主题的限定主要是通过句中的关键词来表现的。关键词要尽量写得具体些。对“具体”的要求包括两个方面:一是要具体到能控制和限制段落的发展;二是要具体到能说明段落发展的方法。准确地把握关键词是清楚地表达段落主题、写好段落主题句的重要前提之一。在上面的例1,例2中,主题句的关键词分别为:depends very much on energy; no one can avoid being influenced. 我们再看下列例句:

原句1: He can fix a bicycle himself.

斜体部分应为主题句中的关键词。但它只是限制了段落发展的部分内容,并没有告诉读者该用哪种方法展开,是用因果关系法还是用分类法?

修正:He can fix a bicycle himself in several simple steps.

修正:There are several reasons why he can fix a bicycle himself.

原句2: She tries to improve her looks.

斜体部分应为主题句中的关键词。她试着改变她面容的理由是什么?或者她采取什么方法来改善呢?我们无法从关键词中清楚得知。

修正:She tries many ways to improve her looks.

修正:There are some reasons why she tries to improve her looks。

1.3如何写好主题句的中心思想

主题句由两部分组成,即主题(topic)和中心思想(controlling idea)。中心思想的作用是导向(control)和制约(limit)。我们前面谈到的关键词就反映了中心思想。所谓导向就是规定段落的发展脉络,所谓制约就是限制主题的覆盖范围,两者不可分割。没有导向,内容就会离题或偏题;没有制约,内容就可能超出一个段落所能容纳的范围。

对于初学写作的人来说,“导向”的重要性容易理解,但如果由他们自己来构思一个主题句,就可能忽视“制约”这一面。例如:

There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you have made it a part of yourself and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it.

本段的主题句如果没有in which引出的定语从句,那么two ways不仅不能起制约作用,而且也不能起导向作用,句子本身读起来也就使人觉得欠缺点什么。

Exercise is beneficial to your heart. A 22-year study was conducted by doctors in California. They found that people who work at physical jobs experience fewer heart attacks than other people. These active people work all the time at moderate speed, their daily routine gives them an adequate amount of exercise and helps them stay in shape.

“Exercise is beneficial”这是毫无疑义的。但主题句中如不加上”to your heart”来加以control和limit,那就流于空泛。

因此,紧紧把握主题句中controlling idea的导向和制约作用,是短文写作成功关键之一。

2.推展句

2.1主要推展句

主要推展句(major supporting statement)的主要特点是:围绕段落主题句展开的每一个推展句本身都不要求作进一步的说明或证明,句与句之间的关系是相互独立又是互相连接的。

例1:(主题句) There are several factors affecting climate. (推展句1)One factor is the mount of sunlight received. (推展句2)Altitude, or the height above sea level, also determines climate. (推展句3)The oceans have an effect on the climate of adjacent land. (推展句4)In addition, climate is influenced by the general circulation of the atmosphere.

主题句指出影响气候的几个因素。然后用四个扩展句说明四种因素。第一种是太阳光的接收量,第二种是海拔高度,第三句和第四句分别是海洋和大气环流因素。

2.2次要推展句

次要推展句(minor supporting statement)是指对主要推展句作进一步的事实

分析和举例说明。它从属于某一个或某几个推展句。

例2:(主题句)I don’t teach because teaching is easy for me. (主要推展句

1)Teaching is the most difficult of the various ways I have attempted to earn my living: mechanic, carpenter, writer. (主要推展句2)For me, teaching is a red-eye,

sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach profession. (次要推展句1)Red-eye, because I never feel ready to teach no matter how late I stay up preparing. (次要推展句

2)Sweaty-palm, because I’m always nervous before I enter the classroom, sure that I will be found out for the fool that I am. (次要推展句3)Sinking-stomach, because I leave the classroom an hour later convinced that I was even more boring than usual.

从属于主要推展句2的三个次要推展句起着解释说明作用,分别解释red-eye, sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach的含义,这就更加形象生动地证明了“teaching is not easy” 这个主题。

2.3主要推展句与次要推展句的关系

主要推展句与次要推展句的关系(relation)基本可以遵循下面的“三部

分”(three-part)规则。

1〕每个主要推展句都应该是对主题句中表示主要思想的关键词的直接、明确的说明。

2〕每个次要推展句都应该说明它的主要推展句。

3〕含有讨论说明或分析的问题通常既要有主要推展素材,又要有次要推展素材。

2.4写好推展句的方法

主题句及关键词确定后,开始选择和主题有关的信息和素材。实质上,针对关键词测试每一个所选择的素材就是一个分类的过程。有一种常用的方法就是句子展开前加以设问,然后解答,即设问-解答(why-because)的方法。下面我们通过举例来看一看这种分类过程是如何完成的。例3:

假设(suppose) Topic sentence: English is an international language?

设问(why) Why can we say English is an international language?

解答(because)

Because: English is spoken by pilots and airport control operators on all the airways of the world.

Because: Over 70 percent of the world’s mail is written in English.

Because: M ore than 60 percent of the world’s radio programs are in English.

Because: Pakistan was once one of the British colonies.

Because: Many members of the International Language Society are selected from English-spoken countries.

从上面可以看出,最初的三个推展句是和关键词an international language一致的。第四句和主题句不统一,尽管第四句会成为另一主题句(Many Pakistanis speak English)很好的推展句。第五句说服力不强。

当然,在写成段落时,没有必要在每个句子开头写上“because”,但是,在动笔展开句子时,头脑里要想着这个词,这种检验方法能帮助你把注意力集中在某个重心,围绕主题思想层层展开。

段落发展的手段及结尾段的写法

段落发展的几种手段

1.列举法(details)

作者运用列举法,是通过列举一系列的论据对topic sentence中摆出的论点进行广泛、全面地陈述或解释,列举的顺序可以按照所列各点内容的相对重要性、时间、空间等进行。

Yesterday was one of those awful days for me when everything I did went wrong.First, I didn’t hear my alarm clock and arrived late for work. Then, I didn’tread my diary properly and forgot to get to an important meeting with my boss. During the coffee break, I dropped my coffee cup and spoilt my new skirt. At lunch time, I left my purse on a bus and lost all the money that was in it. After lunch, my boss was angry because I hadn’t gone to the meeting. Then I didn’t notice a sign on a door that said “Wet Paint” and so I spoilt my jacket too. When I got home I couldn’t get into my flat because I had left my key in my office. So I broke a window to get in and cut my hand.

根据本段主题句中的关键词组everything I did went wrong,作者列举了8点内容,分别由first, then, during the coffee break, after lunch time等连接词语引出,使得该文条理清楚、脉络分明、内容连贯。

常用于列举法的过渡连接词有:for one thing , for another, finally, besides, moreover, one another , still another, first, second, also等。

2. 举例法(example)

作者通过举出具体事例来阐述、说明主题句的内容,严格地讲,举例法也是列举法的一种,它们的区别在于:列举法侧重罗列事实,所列事实力求全面;而举例法侧重通过举出典型事例来解释作者观点,且事例可多可少。

我们来看下面这个用举例法展开的段落。

There are many different forms of exercises to suit different tastes.For example, those who enjoy competitive sports may take up ball games. For anot her example, if they prefer to exercise alone, they can have a run or take a w alk in the morning or in the evening. Besides, people can go swimming in the summer and go skating in the winter. In short, no matter what their interests are, people can always find more than one sports that are suitable to them.

本段采用了三个事例来说明主题句中的关键词组different forms of exercise s,这三个例子分别由连接词for example, for another example和besides引出,最后由引导的结尾句总结全段内容。

举例法中常用的连接词有:for example (instance), one example is, besides, furthermore, moreover, in addition等。

3. 叙述法(narration)

叙述法发展段落主要是按照事物本身的时间或空间的排列顺序,通过对一些特有过渡连接词的使用,有层次分步骤地表达主题句的一种写作手段。用这种方法展开段落,作者能够清楚连贯地交待事物的本末,从而可以使读者可以清晰、完整地理解文章的含义,例如:

In the flat opposite, a woman heard the noise outside. When she looked out th rough the window, she discovered that her neighbor was threatened by someon e. She immediately called the police station. In answer to the call, a patrol pol ice car arrived at the scene of the crime quickly. Three policemen went inside the flat at once, and others guarded outside the building to prevent anyone fr om escaping.

这段是按照事物发展的先后顺序,叙述从发现案情、报警、到警察赶到、包围现场的过程。全文脉络清晰,叙述的层次感强,结构紧凑。

常用于叙述法中的过渡连接词有:first, an the beginning, to start with, aft er that, later, then, afterwards, in the end, finally等。

4.对比法或比较法(comparison & contrast)

将同类的事物按照某种特定的规则进行比较分析是一种常用的思维方法。通过对比,更容易阐述所述对象之间的异同和优缺点,例如:

The heart of an electronic computer lies in its vacuum tubes, or transistors. Its electronic circuits work a thousand times faster than the nicer cells in the hu man brain. A problem that might take a human being a long time to solve ca n be solved by a computer in one minute.

在这段文字上,作者为了突出电子计算机运行速度之快,首先将它与人脑进行了比较,“—a thousand times faster than—“ ;而后,又将这一概念具体到了“a problem”上,通过对比使读者从“—a long time—in one minute”上有更加直观的认识。

常用于对本法或比较法上的过渡连接词有:than, compared with等。

5.分类法(classification)

在阐述某一概念的段落中,常用分类法。通过对概念中所包括的事物进行分门别类,分别加以叙述,使读者有更为清晰的认识,如:

Ever since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of variou s forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, commu nication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for lett ers, words and ideas. Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have ha d to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very vivid and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, c annot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either inte ntionally or unintentionally. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head i ndicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be foun d in signal flags, Morse code, and picture signs.

在该段中为了说明topic sentence中的“various forms of communication”,作者将其分为oral speech, sign language, body language及other forms of nonli nguistic language,并逐加阐述。

采用这种方法的段落并没有标志突出的连接词,所述各项均为平行并列关系,所以没有明显的主次之分。

6.因果分析法(cause and effect)

在阐述某一现象的段落中,常采用因果分析法。例如:

The role of women in today’s society is changing. One reason is that wo men have begun to assert themselves as independent people through the wome n’s movemen t. Also, women are aware of the alternatives to staying at home. Another reason is that increasing numbers of women who enter new fields and interests serve as role models for other women. Moreover, men are becoming more conscious of the abilities of women and have begun to view their indep endence positively.

本段中,主题句提出了一种社会现象,推展句则对产生这种现象的原因作出各种解释。常用于因果分析法的连接词有:because, so, as a result等。

7.定义法(definition)

在科普文章的写作中,定义法是必不可少的。通过下定义,可以使读者对该事物有一个更直接的认识。

Automation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automation operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental and ph ysical, in production, and is designed to make possible the manufacture of mor e goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American indu

stry has been called the “Second Industrial Revolution”.

这一段文字使我们了解了“automation” 和“Second Industrial Revolution” 两个概念,分别由“refers to” 和“been called” 引出。

常出现在定义法中的词语有:refer to, mean, call等。

8. 重复法(repetition)

句子的一部分反复出现在段落中,这就是重复法。它往往造成一种步步紧逼的气氛,使文章结构紧凑,有感染力。比如:

Since that time, which is far enough away from now, I have often though t that few people know what secrecy there is in the young, under terror. I wa s in mortal terror of the young man who wanted my heart and liver; I was in mortal terror of my interlocutor with the iron leg; I was in mortal terror of myself, from whom an awful promise had been extracted; --

该段中反复应用了I was in mortal terror of …我经常处于恐怖之中。

以上,我们结合具体文章讨论了展开段落的几种方法。在实际写作中,我们往往不必拘泥于一种写作方法,而是将若干方法穿插在一起,使文章有声有色。

结尾段

我们知道文章的开头很重要,因为好的开头可以吸引读者、抓住读者的注意力。同样,文章的结尾也很重要,好的结尾会使读者对全文的中心思想留下深刻的印象,可以增添文章的效果和说服力,让人深思,回味无穷。确切地说,结尾的作用就是概括全文内容,进一步强调或肯定文章的中心思想,使读者加深印象;有时也用于展望未来,提出今后方向或令人深思的问题给读者留下回味和思考的余地。

但是,如何才能写好英文短文的结尾呢? 下面就介绍几种写结尾段最常用的方法:

1.重复中心思想: 回到文章开头阐明的中心思想或主题句上,达到再次肯定和强调的效果。

(例1)A sense of humor is really one of the keys to happiness. It gives ze st to life to make it worth living.

(例

2)With all these benefits, it is no wonder that sports and games have now bec ome more popular with people than ever.

2.作出结论: 文章最后用几句话概括全文内容,并进一步肯定文章的中心思想或作者的观点。

(例1)In conclusion, a good teacher-student relationship can be mutual bene ficial. The students gain knowledge eagerly and enjoyably, and the teacher gain s satisfaction from his job.

(例2)On the whole there are more advantages than disadvantages in the u se of TV. Yet different people may have different attitude toward TV. But we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. Its value to peo ple and society depends on how we look at it.

3

应用引语: 用格言、谚语或习语总结全文,既言简意赅又有更强的说服力。

(例1)If you have anything to do, try to do it yourself, for that is the safe st way to

permanent success. Remember the famous saying. “God helps those who help t hemselves.”

(例2)If we stick to studies day after day, there is nothing that can’t be ac hieved. As an old saying goes: “Constant dropping of water wears away a sto ne.”

4.用反问结尾: 虽然形式是问句,但意义却是肯定的,具有明显的强调作用,引起读者思考。

(例1)Therefore, listening skills must be consciously improved. Since it is such an important means of learning and communication, why should we not develo p this ability as far as possible?

(例2)So,what can we benefit from wealth if we do not have health?

5.提出展望或期望: 表示对将来的展望或期待读者投入行动。

(例1)I am sure that Chinese will become one of the most important langu ages in the world in the next century. As China will open further to the outsi de world the language is sure to be spread world widely.

(例2) If everyone has developed good manners, people will form a more harm onious relation. If everyone behaves considerately towards others and social eth ics people will live in a better world. With the general mood of society impro ved, there will be a progress of civilization.

以上介绍了几种写结尾段最常用的方法,但到底选择何种方法结尾还得根据文体来决定。平铺直叙的记叙文,往往在故事或事实情节讲完时文章也就自然结束了,而说理性和逻辑性较强的说明文和议论文都应有一个正式的结尾。希望以上介绍的几种方法能对大家写好结尾有所帮助。

首先,一个段落必须有一个中心即主题思想,该中心由主题句特别是其中的题旨来表达。整个段落必须紧扣这个主题(stick or hold to the topic),这就是段落的统一性(unity)。其次,一个段落必须有若干推展句,使主题思想得到充分展开,从而给读者一个完整的感觉,这就是完整性(completeness or adequateness)。再者,一个段落不是杂乱无章的,而是有机的组合,句子的排列顺序必须合乎逻辑,从一个句子到另一个句子的过渡必须流畅(smooth),这就是连贯性(coherenc

e)。下面我们就对这三个标准分别加以说明。

1. 统一性

一个段落内的各个句子必须从属于一个中心,任何游离于中心思想之外的句子都是不可取的。请看下例:

Joe and I decided to take the long trip we’d always wanted across the country. We were like young kids buying our camper and stocking it with all the

necessities of life. Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie. We started out in early spring from Minneapolis and headed west across the northern part of the country. We both enjoyed those people we met at the trailer park. Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner. To our surprise, we found that we liked the warm southern regions very much, and so we decided to stay here in New Mexico.

本段的主题句是段首句,controlling idea(中心思想)是take the long trip across the country。文中出现两个irrelevant sentences,一个是Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie,这一段是讲的是Joe and I,中间出现一个

Bella是不合适的。还有,Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner这一句更是与主题句不相关。考生在四级统考的作文卷上常常因为造出irrelevant sente nces(不相关语句)而丢分,值得引起注意。再看一个例子:

My name is Roseanna, and I like to keep physically fit. I used to weigh two hundred pounds, but I joined the YMCA for an exercise class and diet pr ogram. In one year I lost eighty pounds. I feel much better and never want to have that much weight on my five-feet frame again. I bought two new suitca ses last week. Every day I practice jogging three miles, swimming fifteen laps, lifting twenty-pound weights and playing tennis for one hour. My mother was a premature baby.

本段的controlling idea是like to deep physically fit,但段中有两个irreleva nt sentences,一个是I bought two new suitcases last week,另一个是

My mother was a premature baby。

从上面两个例子可以看出,native speakers同样会造出来irrelevant sentence s。卷面上如果这种句子多了,造成偏题或离题,那问题就更严重了。

最新全新版大学英语3作文及要求背诵段落(1)

第一单元 十年之前,南希做了许许多多美国人梦寐以求的事。她辞去了经理职位,在邻近地区开了一家家用器材(equipment)商店。像南希那样的人作出这种决定主要是出于改善生活质量的愿望。 然而,经营小本生意绝非易事。在失去稳定的收入后,南希不得不削减日常开支。有时候她甚至没有钱支付她所需要的种种保险的费用。有一次她连电话费也付不起,只得向她的父母亲借钱。 幸运的是,通过自己的努力,她已经度过了最困难的时期。她决心继续追求她所向往的更加美好的生活。 Answer: A decade ago, Nancy did what so many Americans dream about. She quit an executive position and opened/set up a household equipment store in her neighborhood. People like Nancy made the decision primarily because of/owing to/due to their desire to improve the quality of their lives. But, to run a small business is by no means an easy job. Without her steady income, Nancy had to cut back on her daily expenses. Sometimes she did not even have the money to pay the premiums for the various kinds of insurance she needed. Once she could not even pick up the phone bill and had to ask her parents to loan her some money. Fortunately, through her own hard work, she has now got through the most difficult time. She is determined to continue pursuing her vision of a better life. 第二单元 痛苦的奴隶生活坚定了亨森为自由而战的决心。他获得自由后不久就成了一个帮助逃跑奴隶的组织中的一员。他几次偷偷地回到美国帮助其他奴隶通过地下铁路获得自由。有一次在逃跑时,亨森和几个逃跑的奴隶被捕捉奴隶的人包围。他将逃跑的奴隶乔装打扮一番,成功地躲避了追捕。另外,他后来在加拿大的得累斯顿为逃跑的奴隶建造了一个居住小区,并建了教堂和学校,逃跑的奴隶们在这里能够学到有用的谋生之道。他坚信奴隶制终将被废除,所有奴隶终将获得解放,种族歧视消失的那天一定会到来。 Answer: Henson's painful life as a slave strengthened his determination to struggle for freedom. Shortly after he achieved freedom he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture. In addition, later he built a small settlement in Dresden, Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school where they could learn useful ways of making a living. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, all the slaves would be liberated, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed. 第三单元 在美国每隔15秒钟就有人举报一起入室行窃案(burglary)。统计数据显示去年窃贼(burglar)光顾了两百多万户人家。人们实际上几乎无法将蓄意行窃的盗贼拒之门外,所能做的只是设法阻拦他片刻,从而使其暴露在巡警(police patrol)或附近溜达的人们面前。常识告诉我们,光照是犯罪行为的障碍物。家门口必须安装一盏灯,并在晚间开着。不管你是否相信,有些人,尤其是最晚进家的孩子,晚上进屋后不把门锁上。空心门(door of hollow core),即便是锁上了,也易遭贼侵入。因此最好选择实心(solid core)门或铁门,因为窃贼很难将它们撬开。如果你有意购买报警装置,别忘了索要报警器的标志,并把它们张贴在窗户和门上。最后,提醒一句,外出旅

考研英语写作30篇范文:终点又是新起点

考研英语写作30篇范文:终点又是新起点 范文(十三) Writing (图画提纲式议论文) Directions: Study the following drawing carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the drawing, 2)interpret its meaning, and 3)support your view with examples. You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points) 范文 It is vividly depicted in the cartoon that a boy is running along the racetrack with painstaking efforts, sweat pouring down his face. After a long journey, he is making the final spurt toward the finishing line, with strong determination to become the champion. It seems that he could rest for a while to enjoy the ecstasy of victory. However, straight ahead lies a sign which indicates a new "starting point" and urges him to continue rushing to the next destination. Undoubtedly the cartoon conveys the meaning that life is like the process of running in which one should make constant efforts and never stop making progress. Owing to the quickening pace of life, competition goes increasingly fierce in all walks of life, stimulating everyone to pursue one goal after another. Once a person stops making progress, he can hardly maintain his past glory and survive in this competitive world. As Deng Xiaoping, the great Chinese leader said, "development is

英语作文之段落写作

英语段落写作 §段落是文章的缩影。写好了段落,就能比较成功地写出较好的文章。经过中学英语基础阶段的学习之后,大学英语的写作重点就从选词造句转移到了联句成段和联段成篇上。进行段落层次上的写作训练,是写好英语文章的关键一环。下面介绍的是段落结构。 §段落(paragraph )是由表达单一中心思想(controlling idea or central idea )的一组句子(包括主题句topic sentence,推展句supporting sentences及结论句concluding sentence)构成,是文章结构的基本独立单位。本讲我们将就主题句和中心思想这两个方面展开讨论。主题句与推展句 2.推展句2.1 主要推展句 §主要推展句(major supporting statement)的主要特点是:围绕段落主题句展开的每一个推展句本身都不要求作进一步的说明或证明,句与句之间的关系是相互独立又是互相连接的。 例1:(主题句) There are several factors affecting climate. (推展句1)One factor is the mount of sunlight received. (推展句2)Altitude, or the height above sea level, also determines climate. (推展句3)The oceans have an effect on the climate of adjacent land. (推展句4)In addition, climate is influenced by the general circulation of the atmosphere. 主题句指出影响气候的几个因素。然后用四个扩展句说明四种因素。第一种是太阳光的接收量,第二种是海拔高度,第三句和第四句分别是海洋和大气环流因素。 2.2 次要推展句 § §次要推展句(minor supporting statement)是指对主要推展句作进一步的事实分析和举例说明。它从属于某一个或某几个推展句。 §例2:(主题句)I don‘t teach because teaching is easy for me. (主要推展句1)Teaching is the most difficult of the various ways I have attempted to earn my living: mechanic, carpenter, writer. (主要推展句2)For me, teaching is a red-eye, sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach profession. (次要推展句1)Red-eye, because I never feel ready to teach no matter how late I stay up preparing. (次要推展句2)Sweaty-palm, because I’m always nervous before I enter the classroom, sure that I will be found out for the fool that I am. (次要推展句3)Sinking-stomach, because I leave the classroom an hour later convinced that I was even more boring than usual. §从属于主要推展句2的三个次要推展句起着解释说明作用,分别解释red-eye, sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach的含义,这就更加形象生动地证明了"teaching is not easy" 这个主题。 §2.3 主要推展句与次要推展句的关系 主要推展句与次要推展句的关系(relation)基本可以遵循下面的“三部分”(three-part)规

破解考研英语短文写作-五种作文类型.

破解短文写作 (大作文 第一节主题句作文 1. 写作攻略 主题句作文也可以叫做段首句作文,要求考生将每段所给出主题句分别加以扩展, 完成段落, 然后由段落组成文章。主题句作文是目前较常用的一种出题方式, 它不像一般正规文章那样要求具有开头段和结尾段, 一般只给出三句主题句, 所以属于一种简单的三段式作文。在写作这种题目的作文时, 考生只要正确领悟每个主题句的意思, 然后对每段的主题句进行阐述, 内容应当展开, 可以是对主题句的解释, 可以是例证, 也可以提供理由或细节。在对主题句进行展开时,考生要学会如何取舍,有的观点见解独到或是非常精彩, 但是在表达时会有问题, 考生本身的英语水平可能无法把这个观点表达清楚, 这时应该果断地放弃这一观点。因为考试要考生展现的是语言水平而不是思维的深度, 考生在写作时应该尽量少暴露自己在语言上的不足。 2. 必背模版句型 As far as I am concerned, I believe that.... 至于我,我相信…… Now it is widely acknowledged that....
