4、-body(展开论述)-conclusion(总结结论)。hh(一)介绍(introduction)n其中第一句的作用是用来说明整段文章的总义和介绍文章的主题,之后的一至两句则是用来表达考生的个人意见(论点),最后一句通常用来带领进入主体部分。n文章好的开头会引人如胜,激发阅卷老师的阅读兴趣。一般说来,这一段落不宜太长,要写得简明扼要,主要可以采用以下三种方法:引用法、现象法和对立法。h(二)主体(body)n主体部分段首通常有一个主题句(topic sentence),用来表示该段的中心思想。下面是几个常用主题句句型:1It is believed that has the followin
5、g advantages 2 is important in several ways 3 I side with this view for two reasons 4 benefits us in many waysn接下来的文章应包含二到三个要点,用以支持主题句。考生可以通过例证、引证、对比、因果论证及反证等方法逐步论述各个要点。阅卷老师在看文章时也许会通过某些关键性的“标签”来判定你的文章是否结构严谨,条理清晰,因此要在每一个要点前加入表示顺序的词汇,如:h(二)主体(body)n1)firstly,secondly,thirdly,finallyn2)in the first pla

7、on)n结尾部分的开始通常会用一个特别结论句式,如:in general,to sum up,to conclude,all in all等等。n在200词的文章中,这一部分不宜篇幅过长,最好用一两句话来总结全文,使其前后呼应。除非只是一个次要观点,否则不要在这段内提出任何新见解,但如果题目要求的话,考生也可以在结论上提出相应的建议、推荐、介绍和解决方法。h一些问题1、审题不清楚;2、结构不完整,比如,开头缺少铺垫,结尾缺少总结段;3、比例失调,最常见的是,第一段不够概括,篇幅过长;第二段过于简略;第三段继续阐述某些观点,或者开始新话题;4、主题句没有对段落进行明确的、适当的限定,结果段落内容
8、不能紧扣主题;5、第一段没有明确提出中心思想,赞成什么、反对什么,或对某个问题有什么看法,导致观点不鲜明,中心思想不突出。h5种题型及模式框架种题型及模式框架n自由发挥型n立场选择型n给定明确观点型n问题解决型n比较对比型h自由发挥型先提出一个话题,然后提供一些流行的观点,要求考生通过给定的材料做出自己的分析,提出自己的论点,然后进行阐述和论证。这种题目对论点不做限制,作者可以自由发挥,只要能证明自己,围绕话题即可。请看历年相关的考题:2005年:My Idea of a University Art Festival(针对学生会举办的大学艺术节的组织活动和内容提出自己的想法和建议)1993年
