24、主题句的范围必须最大限度地缩小、具体化；尽可能选择准确、得体的关键词概括自己的观点和看法。3想象美好，立意深刻。想象性作文必须要有一个“美好”的中心思想。如果只是瞎编一个热闹离奇的故事，就失去了想象的意义。4语言规范、地道。选用自己熟悉的词汇和句型来组织语言进行表达，如will，probably，possibly，maybe，likely，may，might，could，would，Its possible/probable/likely that.等都是这种作文中常会用到的。【典型句式】(1)We held a discussion about.in the future.我们展开了一项讨论
25、关于未来的(2)With the development of science and.，our life will be surely.由于科技和的发展，我们的生活一定会(3)In the future more and more.will appear.在未来越来越多的将会出现。(4)Most people think that the life in the future will.大多数人认为将来的生活会(5)Man will have to find another planet to live on，and.人们将会寻找另一个星球居住，并且(6)This is the life t
