花了不少的力气, 终于将考试作文的基本思路及一些方法, 注意事项总结了出来. 考试作文做为一种语言技能测试. 主要考的是考生的行文能力，只要作文内容符合主旨, 逻辑合理, 语法顺畅, 语言得体, 并适当的体现语言技能. 相信一定可以拿到不错的成绩. 全文节选, 摘抄, 总结自刘春伟老师主编的一书. 总结出来仅供有需要提高英语写作水平的志同道合人士共同学习, 交流, 提高. 请尊重版权. 通过几天的总结, 个人认为以下知识要点很到位, 而且比较详细, 经常翻阅参考, 必有裨益! 至于书信, 便条等应用文部分，待再做总结. 壹. 写作的基本要求应试作文" 结构模式化" 已经成为一条核心策略. 一般考试作文形式不外乎: 议论文,(提纲式, 图表式), 应用文 (信件与便条), 说明文和记叙文英语的直线性(Linear)思维方式使英文文章通常都是开门见山, 英语语篇一般按照直线展开, 通常包括四个部分: 导入, 主题, 支撑, 结论. 也就是说, 首先陈诉主题或中心思想, 然后按照一条直线展开, 分点说明中心思想, 而且每个段落都会有一个主题句，主题句通常位于句首, 使读者一目了然, 整个语篇是一个完整的统一体. 语言流畅所谓统一性是指全篇的各个段落都是为一个中心思想服务, 而且每个段落都会围绕一个主题句来展开, 如果有游离于中心思想之外的句子就会使文章零散杂乱. 中心突出是因为开头第一句话就提出了主题句(controlling idea).造成段落结构松散的原因是句子的结构杂乱，要整理句子的结构, 把某些句子变成修饰或限定形式, 紧缩句子结构. 为使段落中心突出, 中心句必须能高度概括所在段落的论据. 中心句的概括性和具体性是段落和文章发展的基石. 思维直线性--统一性--完整性--连贯性(意义连贯, 形式连贯), 连贯性要使用一些过渡性的词语: 表层进: first/firstly to begin with/second/secondly to start with/third/thirdly what's more/also and then/and equally important/besides in addition/further in the first place/still furthermore/last but not the least/finally 表列举: for example/for instance/to illustrate as an illustration/after all/as a matter of fact/frankly speaking/in this case namely/in other word 表总结: in summary/in a word/in brief/in conclusion/to conclude/in fact/in short/in other word/of course it is turespecaily/thus as has been said/altogether in other word/finally in simpler terms/in particul- ar/that is/on the whole/therefore 表强调: of course/indeed/above all/most important/emphasis/certainly/in fact 表让步: still/nevertheless/in spite of/all the same/even so/after all/concession/naturally 表比较: in comparision with/likewise/similarly equally/however likewise/in the same way/by contrast 表转折: although/but/in contrast/nevertheless/on the contrary/on the other hand/otherwise/regardless/ yet/despite/even so/even though/for all that/however/in spite of/instead 表时间: after a while/afterward/as long as/at last/at length/at that time/before/earlier/eventually/ finally/formerly/further/furthermore/in addition/in the first place/in the past/last/lately/meanwhile/ moreover/next/now/presently/second/shortly/simultaneously/since/so
far/soon/subsequently/then/thereafter until now/when 贰议论文议论文的目的在于阐述道理，说服他人, 使人相信某种道理或假设, 它是所有应试作文中最常见文体. 议论文通常有两种推论方法, 即归纳法和演绎法. 但要在应试作文比较短的篇幅中取得良好的效果, 通常会遵从以下思路:引言段, 正文主题段, 结论概述. 引言段(introduction), 为了引起读者的好奇和兴趣, 引言段通常会有以下内容: 1, 关于主题的一些背景知识 2, 提及主题 3, 表明中心句(thesis statement) 正文(body),正文是一篇文章的主要部分, 本部分要讨论, 回答在引言段提出的问题, 而且语言的组织要自然, 有逻辑. 主体部分要有几个自然段, 每个段落都要有自己的主题句, 最好能在段首提出. 结论/结尾段(concluding paragraph), 结尾部分要言简意赅, 与主题密切相关, 要总结观点或提出希望, 并给读者留下深印象. 文章中如果缺少了这三大部分中的任何一部分，都会使人感到结构残缺. 对于一篇150-200字的文章, 要在短短的篇幅中把问题说明清楚, 应该遵循下面这个黄金比例:开头结尾各15%,中间的正文主题要在70%左右. 才能组织出一篇结构合理的文章. 应试议论文的形式虽然多变. 其实都是在考察两种能力: 1,Can you express and support your opinion? 2,Can you choose and defend a point of view? 而且以上两种能力的考察归根结底是以提纲式作文和图表(画) 式作文来体现的. 1、提纲式作文 Direction: A: Title : Fast Food B: Word Limit : about 200 words C: Your composition should be based on the outline given in Chinese
below 1、在节奏迅速的当今时代，快餐受到了人们的青睐 2、快餐受欢迎的原因，营养方面比较差 3、对快餐的态度应该是少吃为佳提纲式作文是一种控制性作文，写作者要根据题目和提纲，确定文章的中心思想，然后紧紧围绕中心思想展开讨论，表达提纲的主旨。但要注意，提纲只是文章中必须包括进去的内容要点，只是为文章提供一个支撑的骨架，不能拘泥，硬搬。提纲式议论文的内容可以划分为以下几个大框：①原因式：作文要求考生对一类社会问题或现象的原因进行分析解释。例如 My view on fake commodities 1、目前社会上有不少假冒伪劣商品，为什么会有这种现象。 2、举例说明假冒伪劣商品对消费者个人，社会等的危害。虽然题目的要求多变，但通常可以采用以下的模式来解决：
第一段：引入话题（引出文章要进行解释的某种现象或问题），表明作者对此问题的看法和态度。第二段：过渡性语言，概括全段主题，支持自己的观点的有力证据或理由（各个理由或论据之间加上合适的过渡性语言）。第三段：结论因此，原因式提纲式作文的写作思路具体规范一下，可以遵循以下格式： paragraph 1 thesis statement: A phenomenon or problem in society and my view/attitude on it paragraph 2 reasons : transitional expression + reason 1 transitional expression + reason 2 …… paragraph 3 conclusion, to restate the thesis ②分析解决式：所谓分析解决式是指针对某一社会现象找出其解决办法。此类似与原因式，但不同的是，分析解决式不仅要分析事件或现象的原因外，还要有相应的解决方法。这类题目，通常会采用以下的模式来解决：第一段：引入话题，（引出文章要进行解释的某种现象或问题），表明作者的态度或看法。第二段：过渡性语言+分析造成这种现象或问题的原因（几个原因）第三段：过渡性语言+就上述问题的起因逐个给出对应的解决办法或建议。第四段：总结+发出倡议或号召或展望未来。因此，可以将分析解决式作文的格式归纳如下： paragraph 1 thesis statement:A phenomenon or problem in society/my attitude on this issue paragraph 2 reasons: transitional expression + reason1 transitional expression + reason2 ……… paragraph 3 solution/advice: transitional expression + solution/advice 1 transitonal expression + solution/advice 2 …… paragraph 4 conclusion: to restate the thesis ③对比/比较式：此类作文要求考生比较两个事物或观点的优缺点, 并且要有自己的观点, 有自己的倾向. 多数情况下，对赞成的事物要多写优点, 对于反对的事物, 优点少写，多谈缺点, 这样在结论的时候才能达到另人信服的效果. 此类通常有以下的语言模式出现: Which idea do you agree with?/Do you agree or disagree with the statement./ which kind of…do you prefer?/Which do you think is better?/Then which one do you agree with and why?/ Write a short essay in which you discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each… 写作此类作文为了能使文章脉络清晰，使阅卷者能够迅速的找到文章的行文思路，通常采用下面的交替式格式：
第一段：引入话题（引出对该问题的不同看法），承认不同看法各自有各自的理由。第二段：过渡性语言+陈诉一方的观点或优点。第三段：过渡性语言+陈诉另一方的观点或缺点。第四段：结论表明自己的立场是支持一方的。sth's advantage far outweighs its disadvantages Direction: For this part you are going to write an essay on the topic of City Life and Suburban Life. You should write about 200 words and base your composition on the outline below. 1、最近几年愈来愈多的居民选择在郊区生活。
2、城市生活和郊区生活各有各的特点。 3、我的观点…… 此类作文的写作方式非常丰富，基本可以分为： A ，交替式优点比较法（一个段落写A 的优点，另一个段落写B 的优点） B ，交替式缺点比较法（一个段落写A 的缺点，另一个段落写B 的缺点） C ，板块式优缺点比较法（既在一个段落的空间里，谈到A 的优点的同时谈一下B 的缺点，或谈到A 的优点后再谈A 的缺点，反正此比较法形式多样，只要可以起到另人满意的比较效果，都可取）。④驳斥式：主要针对一些社会上比较流行而又存在谬误的做法或看法来进行批判的一种命题模式。这种命题方式的对应思路既类似于比较式，又类似于原因式，其格式不外乎下面的模式：第一段：引出社会中存在的一种谬误现象或看法，并提出自己的立场第二段：过渡性语言+实例例证该现象或看法的谬误所在第三段：重申自己的观点 Direction: Scientific discovery has brought about many negative effects to our life at the same time of promoting our life. Some people think that the development of science has disastrous side effects so that we shou- ld not live in modern society. What's your point of view? 可以将驳斥型英文的写作
格式归纳如下: paragraph 1 thesis statement: A wrong belief or problem in society and my criticism toward this view. paragraph 2 disputing process: transitional express + evidence 1 transitional express + evidence 2 …… paragraph 3 conclusion:to restate the thesis and my point of view 以上为提纲式议论文的一些总结。 3、图表（画）议论文图表(画) 式作文和提纲作文一样, 都是根据题目所提供的已知信息进行写作, 不同之处在于, 其限定性要求是以图表或者图画的形式来间接规定的. 对于这种命题形式的作文, 首先要对图表或图画作出认真分析, 弄清图表(画) 所含有的信息以及不同信息之间的关系, 抓住其表现趋势. 由于这种作文形式的信息载体不是文字而是图表, 所以需要注意以下几点: 第一、不能遗漏图表（画）中的信息，否则不能全面体现命题的写作要求，容易跑题或不切题。第二、在图表（画）中，特别是图表似作文中会有大量的数据，应该体现一定的数据，靠事实来说话，以数据来支持。第三、结尾处应该对图表（画）所表现的趋势加以预测。此类命题最广泛接受的模式如下：
第一段：描述图表（画），概括图表（画）所表现的社会问题。如果是图表式作文，在本段中不要出现具体的数据来说明情况，否则开头缺乏概括性，而图画式作文则要求文字稍微详细一些，但篇幅不可超过全文的1/3。第二段：在图表式作文中，用图表数据来论证第一段的主题，或者分析各个数据产生的原因，在图画式作文中，揭示图画的主旨。第三段：在图表式中分析预测走势，在图画式中发表议论或提出建议。可以把这种类型文章的格式归纳如下： paragraph 1 : thesis statement: A phenomenon or problem ravealed by the diagram paragraph 2 : analysis of the diagram: transitional express + analysis 1 transitional express + analysis 2 paragraph 3 : solution/suggestion/expectation 图表（画）作文会有一些自己的语言 1、图形种类泛指图表：a data graph/chart/diagram/illustration/table 饼图：pie chart 2、图标/数值直方图或拄形图：bar chart/histogram 图解：scheme 绘制：plot 趋势曲线图：line chart/curve diagram 简图：sketch 插图：plate 表格图：table 区域：section 流程图或过程图：flow chart/sequence diagram 图标：block 程序图：processing/procedures diagram 箭头：arrow 草图：draft 圈：circle 图画：picture/depiction 阴影区：shaded area 漫画：cartoon 垂直线：vertical stroke 肖像：image 星号：asterisk 连环画： comic 调查结果：protocol 3、开头段常用语言：在图表式作文第一段，我们通常要概括图表的内容，并揭示其中的含义，要用到以下语言： The table/chart diagram/graph shows (that)… show,describe,illustrate,can be seen from,reveal,represent,indicate,depict figure/statistic/number/percentage/proportion The scheme/sketch/block shows that… The arrow/circle/shaded area represents… The table is a protocol of the experiment… According to the table/chart diagram/graph, As is shown in the table/chart diagram/graph, As can be seen from the table … As we can spot from in the chart… It can be seen from the figures/statistics, we can see from the figures/statistics, It is clear from the figures/statistics, It is apparent from the figures/statistics, 4、数据变化：在描述图表式作文的内容时，会遇到一些表示“变化”的词，可以增强文章的语言表达色彩固定不变：fixed in time 波动：fluctuate/rebound/undulate/wave 转变：change over time 稳定：remain stable/stabilize/level off 增加：increase/raise/rise/go up/soar/shoot up 最高点：peaked/reached a peak/high point 减少：decrease/grow down/drop/fall/decline/reduce/slump 最低点：bottomed out/reached the bottom 形容词／副词：about/almost/approximately/dramatic/dramatically/exactly/gradual/gradually/just over/nearly over/precisely/sharp/significant/significantly/slight/slow/stable/stably/steady/steadily/steep/steeply/ sudden/suddenly/rapid/rapidly 5、比较级或倍数，比例关系 as many as/the largest group/almost half of/ranks first/by far show the ration of/to:呈……比例 similar to double the number of be in a direct ration to/with:呈正比 different from be in a inverse ration to/with:呈反比 more than compare with twice as many as on the contrary/in contrast to three times as many as the same as half the amount of 对于一篇一二百字的文章中，各个部分应该％遵循下面这个黄金比例，即开头和结尾各占１５％左右，中间的主题正文要７０％左右。这样才能组织出一篇结构合理的好文章。当然对于不同的情况
有时候需要具体情况具体分析二、开头的写法（开头指出文章主题，并为主题的发展做铺垫）１、现象法：指在文章的开头就指出某种社会现象。并对此提出自己的看法常用词汇：事件：issue/problem/question 热门，棘手：hot/heated/urgent/burning/pressing/pervasive/rampant 争论：debate/controversy/argument/dispute 一致，同意：consensus 引起注意：in the limelight/brought into attention/focus/concern 带来问题：impose/cause 出现问题：loom up/crop up 面临问题：confront/encounter/face question 使恶化：worsen/deteriorate 紧急的：acute 讨厌：undesirable 困扰：be plagued/embarrassed/upset by 广泛的：pervasive/rampant/prevalent 见证：witness 存在：under way 惊人的：alarming 套用句型： with the rapid /amazing development of… according to recent survey/poll/study,there have occurred… there is a heated/focused debate at present about the issue of … all reliable evidence justifies the fact/view that…is a rampant issue in today's society recently/nowadays/at present,the phenomenon of …has loomed up wide public concern the alarm about the issue of … has caused considerable/general attention the question of … has been in the limelight/brought into focus nowadays, our society is witnessing more and more… all available evidence points to the fact that… 2、观点法，开头就提出社会上人们的看法和观点，从而引出自己的主题和论据常用词汇：观点：idea/opinion/belief/attitude/illusion 涌现：spring up 认识：recognize/be aware of/be conscious of 构成威胁:pose threat on 认为：regard/view 挑战:challenge 影响思维：shape our mind 明显的:marked/obvious/conspicuous/visible 承认：ackownledgement/recognition/admission 威胁, 危险:stake 热衷：preoccupation/enthusiasm 抱怨:groan/complain 前景：prospect 破除观点:explode the belief 根深蒂固的观点：deep-seated idea 假想:premise/assumption 困扰：be obsessed with 毋庸质疑:undisputed 正确的：justified 传统观点: orthodoxy 套用句型： Now people in significant/growing numbers are aware of the idea that… Now people in significant/growing numbers are coming to recognize that… Researchers/scientists have established the concept that… It's well known/believed/agreed that… Various views exist as to the problem/phenomenon of… One of the hottest/most popular/serious issues many people talk/complain about nowadays is… People's views are divergent on the question of… when asked about…the overwhelmingly majority of people will… 3、正反对比论证法，开头首先引起人们对要讨论的问题的不同看法和观点，然后提出作者对此问题的态度。正反论证法与观点法有一定相似，不同是，正反论证法多用于有争议的主题，而观点法只是在开头提出一种见解或观点。常用词汇：反对：object/against 假想：assumption 认为：maintain/accept/hold/conceive 适度的，适量的：moderate 争议：controversy 怀疑的：skeptic 招致反对：provoke criticism 不满：beef/lament/fuss/grumble 不可避免的：inevitable 可行性：feasibility 歪曲事实：distort 套用句型： There is much discussion nowadays as to the problem of… Those who object to… argue that… But those who advocate… on the other hand,argue that… There is no agreement among people as to the issue of … Some people say that… Others say that… As to me,(I am on the first side of the argument.The following examples can prove my standpoint.) There is a public debate as to the issue of… When asked about… the vast majority of people say that… but others people view it as… When faced with… quite a few/most people claim/believe that… but other people regard… as There is a public controversy nowadays over the issue of… Those who object to the idea argue that… But people who favor… argue that… There is a heated debate today about the problem of… …seems to provoke wide criticism in today's society There is growing skepticism toward… 4、数据法，增强文章的可信度和说服力常用词汇：调查：poll/survey/research 高居榜首：at the top of the list 民意调查：poll/gallup显示：show/display/demonstrate/indicate 进行调查：conduct a survey/a survey undergone 稳定：remain stable/stabilize/level off… 数据：statistics/data 估计：estimation 从某角度：in terms of 套用句型： according to the survey/research/poll… the figure indicates that… A
survey is undergone about… An astonishing number is disclosed during a national survey… Such statistics present an undisputable fact that… 5、问题法，在文章开头提出一系列问题，引起读者好奇，从而展开对问题或事件原因的讨论。此法相对来说表达主题的能力不是很明显，有些问题的设计不合理或明知顾问，会导致首段中心不突出，主题句表达苍白/ 套用句型： One of the basic/hot topic facing our society is:what… How do you think of the problem of…?In seeking answers to the questions,… In answer to these quentions,we must… Why is there a…(a growing drift toward…)in society?It is no easy task to identify the cause for it. 6、名人名言法常用词汇：谚语：proverb 深思：contemplate 俗语：old saying 哲学家：philosopher 座右铭：motto 警句：epigram 评说：remark 被验证：be confirmed 声言：statement 议论：comment 回应：echo 被否定：be shattered 套用句型： One of the great men once remar ked that… Nowadays it still has a realistic/profound significance. One of the scientists once said that… Nowadays it is still working in our modern society. One great wirter had ever said that… Now more and more people share this belief. The remark is still confirmed by people in today's society./has been shared by generations. 7、故事法 Last week, a classmate of mine… The story is not rare.It has drawn public attention to the problem of The story/case/incident is not rare/unique/unusual in our life. Such a story is well-acknowledged by people: … 8、定义法定义：notion/definition 理念，概念：concept … , defined as …, is… by difinition we generally define …as… by the word"…",we mean… 三、主题段落的写作段落与段落之间，以及段落的不同层次之间都应该有自然的过渡，以达到文章通顺流畅的目的。 1、并列法（分类法），分类时常用：most of all/next/moreover/in addition/besides/furthermore/to begin with/ to start with/first of all/first/second/third/additionally/apart from 套用句型： Among the most important reasons offered by people for… ,one should be mentioned… A multitude of factors could contribute/account for the increase in … A number of factors could contribute to the success in … A multitude of factors could lead to the failure in … Another contibuting factor/contributory cause of … is … But … along is not the answer.Another best way to expain … is … at th e first glance---moreover---the last but not the least What's more,… 2、比较对照法，用于比较优缺点或不同观点的文章，经常伴有正反对比论证的开头。在这种主题段落写作中，分别列出某事物或观点的优点和缺点，通过这种比较对照得出某种结论。常用词汇：超过：outweigh 无与伦比：without rivals 明显的优势：distinct advantage 缺点：drawback/demerit 可取的：preferable 相反的：reverse 比较，对比： to weigh … and … 区别：distinction 抵消：offset/counterbalance 套用句型： By contrast,it is also important to note that … The advantages of A outweigh any benefit we gain from B. The advantages of B carry more weight than those of A. Good as A is,however, it has its own disadvantages. Although A has a distinct advantage over B, it cannot compete with B in … Although
A enjoys considerable advantage of … it cannot compete with B in … In view of this situation,people put forward two countermoves to solve it. As to whether it is a blessing or a curse,however,people take different attitudes/stands. People rarely reach an absolute consensus on such a controversial issue. every icon has two sides./every knife is double-edged./Fire is a good servant but a bad master. … itself is neither good nor bad and its value to people and society depends on how it is used.we should exploit its merits and shun/avoid its drawbacks. The advantage of having roommate always outweigh the disadvantages. Finally, the incomparable advanta ge is that… this kind of change is both positive and negative / It goes without saying that, … on the one hand,on the other hand those who welcome it maintain the view that,… at the same time of benefiting our life,computer is also bringing about its side effect. some people hold that … other people,on the contrary, advocate… In fact,neither of them is absolutely reasonable. 3、因果法，通过分析几个构成事件发生的原因，来解释某个结果的形成。归因于： attribute to / ascribe to / owe to
导致：lead to/result in/give rise to/entail/cause 套用句型： There are also factual reasons for disagreeing with the belief. The reason for… are complex, but one factor is consideration everywhere. The reason for.. Is varied.And maybe they lie in the fact that… The causes/reasons for…are complicated/profound.Andperharps they are found in the fact that…/And the first reason may be… one may attribute the increase to… why are…? For one thing…another is…perharps the primary reason is… The success/failure/decline stems/derives/results from the factors as fellows. One lies in…another is found in … still another consists in… there is another reason why I cast my preference for… …is mainly responsible for… we may look into every possible reason except the real one.The leading/underlying/root cause/for … is… these factors,coupled with the factor of … ,lead to… this is a marked situation,but reasons for it are not hard to find. 4、例证法，通过列举某些事实来证明某种观点的正确性。例证法往往是和其他段落手法结合使用举例说明。常用词汇：举例：illustrate/illustration 引用：cite/quote an example 事例：to cite an example 适用的例子：a case in point 例如：for example/for instance 证据：evidence/proof 不容质疑：it goes without saying/undeniable 表明：unfold/expose/index/reveal/exhibit 套用句型： we may cite/quote a single/common example of … we may mention another example of … The following examples can prove my standpoint. I can think of no better illustration of this idea than the fact that … There is now evidence that … the most striking instance… / the list of such examples isnumberous. The above instances drive us to a natural conclusion that … to illustrate/As another instance/If one more example is needed, I could mention…/Given the examples I just outlined,I can only say that… 5、批驳法，此类主题段的写作往往是跟在观点式或正反对比论证式的开头后面。首先提出某种在社会上比较流行的说法，然后对此观点进行批驳，并用充分的事实理由作为论据。揭示：reveal/disclose/unfold/expose/indicate 有道理：a grain of truth/hold water 无价值的：flimsy 决不：on no account/in no case/under no circumstance 无根据的：groundless 深思：on a second thought 无保证的：unwarrantd 表明观点：air/voice one's view 荒谬的：fallacious/ridiculous/absurd 排除可能：rule out the possibility 言论：assertion/statement 主张：assert 套用句型： A careful examination of these arguments would reveal how groundless they are. On the surface, it may seem a sound solution,but carefully weighing on the mind,we find that… At first thought,it may seem an attractive idea,but on closer analysis,we find that… The main problem with this argument is that it is ignorant of the basic fact that… The obvious drawback in this view is that it is blind to the fact that… what they fail to understand/consider/mention is that… But I don't think this view will hold water. It's unden iable that… There is a long-running controversy as to whether… As far as I am concerned,I don't find any echo of this idea in my heart.On the contrary,it's totally a nonsence on a second thought. In a word,the issue is not complicated and controversial. There is much debate upon the issue of … We can safely conclude that … 四、结尾的写法点睛之笔。评卷人的精力更多投向文章开头，每段的过渡和文章的结尾。 1、总结法，最常见的结尾方式，是指根据全文内容，得到一个总结性的言论来结束文章。常用词汇：得到结论：draw/come to/arrive at a conclusion 总之：all in all/in a word/to sum up/in general 证明观点：justify/confirm/warrant the view 不容质疑：indisputable/striking 套用句型： From what has been discussed above,we may safely draw the conclusion that… Taking into account all these factors, we may arrive at the conclusion that… All the evidence/analysis supports/justified/confirms/warrants a/an unmistakable/unshakable view/sound idea/fair conclusion that… All the available/reliable evidence goes to show that.../ points to the fact that… In view of the above -mentioned facts,we should undoubted come to the conclusion that … to sum up,… /to conclude,… 2、呼吁法，所谓呼吁法是指在文章结尾处论及与读者的切身利益相关的论点，然后提出倡议呼吁人们作出努力来参与行动。常用词汇：解决问题：
tackle/handle/take up the question 困境：plight 忽视问题：fail in/ignore/be blind to the issue 急切的：imperative 套用句型： we must call for an immediate action/method,because the current dendency of …,if permitted to develop at will,it will result in the destruction of … 3、预测法，为了鼓舞人心，通过预测未来的方法来结束文章。常用词汇：解决方案：recipe/solution/remedy/measure/approach 鼓舞人心的：encouraging/promising/cheerful 迅速有效的：instant/effective/valid 有回报的：rewarding/pay-offf不久的将来：foreseeable future/near future 致力于：be committed/devoted/engaged to 前景，预测：prospect 持续努力：sustain the efforts 套用句型：Fortunately,however,more and more people come to realize the importance of … and improvement is in near future. There is no easy solution to the issue,but … might be helpful/beneficial. There is no effective approach to the problem of …,but our commitment will be rewarded as long as we insist on assuming our responsibility on it. The effect that…will bring about are far-reaching. …will exert a profound influence on … in my judgment,however, … It's important to sustain our efforts to … Indeed, it is not an easy thing for … .But I think,… 4、结尾常用的总结性语言 Admittedly/A conclusion from…, is that…/All in all/As a final comment/At last/At length/Consequently/ Finally/From this point of view/hence/In a word/In berief/In conclusion/In short/In summary/ On account of this,we can find that…/On this background,it's concluded that… to sum up/to summarize 5、结尾要注意的问题，不要犯以下的错误，这些误区不但不能起到辅助文章中心，重申文章主题的作用，反而有害于它。①远离主题②空喊口号 Try our best from now on!This is what we should do! ③痛下决心 Let's be determined to be hardworking in our new construction process in our modernization development. 五、如何发表个人观点 1、表示自己支持的观点 If I were forced to agree with one of the two methods, my choice would be for… I am one of the many people who support the idea of … As far as … concerned, I prefer… For my part,I am a supporter of … I prefer to … because… On the question of … I have for a long time admitted that… when… more often than not,prefer to … Given the factors I have outlined,I believe that… Therefore, I strongly recommend that… I strongly commmit to the notion that… Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, I am inclined to believe that… 2、表示个人反对的观点 Admittedly…,but I think it is advisa ble that… At first sight/galance, the idea sounds reasonable,but if we take a further look,we can find that it does not hold water. However, although many people…, I feel it's better to … I find the statement of… to be too narrow. Deep down,I disagree with the above statement, and support the superiority of … I can't agree with… I feel such an attitude is negative,and that it can bring only further negative consequences to the soci Contrary to generally accepted ideas, I argue that… 3、表示折衷的观点 The question o f whether…is one that has concerned many people.It is held by some people that…However, there is an equally good argument that…From my point of view, both views are reasonable to some extend. Ther is no agreement among people as to…Some people focus on …,while others may think…From my point of view,both views go to extremes and we need a further analysis of their views. 六、削弱议论文表现力的误区议论文不外乎考察两种能力，一种是能否表达并支持自己的观点，另一种是能否在两种观点中选择一种观点并说明其正确性 1、过多主观性语言和议论在表达个人观点的时候需要特别注意的是，一定要控制好主观性语言在文章中出现的频率。英文写作喜欢用事实说话，让读者自然而然的得到某种结论，而不是把个人的思维强加给读者。我们只需要在文章开头或结尾处表达自己的立场就可以了，其他的地方需要用客观事实来说话。 2、个人体会作为论据把个人经验或体会作为文章的主要论据，这样文章就失去了代表性，客观性。不能用自己或自己的身边事来议论。 3、空喊口号，论据不足事实论据太少，只是空喊口号。有的写作者喜欢表立场，下决心，用政治色彩很浓的词语，都违背以理服人原则。 4、过多使用口语化语言为增强语言的表现力，议论文中要减少口语色彩的词汇和语言结构的使用。不要总使用
if/because/when/don't/can't, 减少I think/you/we/us等表示个人行为语言的频率。使用比较正式的语言，例：cannot do not must not Many people think that--变为使用--many people acknownledged that/hold the view that/maitain that等。 5、其他因素如缩写形式的使用/人称指代/动词代替动词短语/从句引导词/分词结构与句子的选择/各种句式的选择
花了不少的力气, 终于将考试作文的基本思路及一些方法, 注意事项总结了出来. 考试作文做为一种语言技能测试. 主要考的是考生的行文能力，只要作文内容符合主旨, 逻辑合理, 语法顺畅, 语言得体, 并适当的体现语言技能. 相信一定可以拿到不错的成绩. 全文节选, 摘抄, 总结自刘春伟老师主编的一书. 总结出来仅供有需要提高英语写作水平的志同道合人士共同学习, 交流, 提高. 请尊重版权. 通过几天的总结, 个人认为以下知识要点很到位, 而且比较详细, 经常翻阅参考, 必有裨益! 至于书信, 便条等应用文部分，待再做总结. 壹. 写作的基本要求应试作文" 结构模式化" 已经成为一条核心策略. 一般考试作文形式不外乎: 议论文,(提纲式, 图表式), 应用文 (信件与便条), 说明文和记叙文英语的直线性(Linear)思维方式使英文文章通常都是开门见山, 英语语篇一般按照直线展开, 通常包括四个部分: 导入, 主题, 支撑, 结论. 也就是说, 首先陈诉主题或中心思想, 然后按照一条直线展开, 分点说明中心思想, 而且每个段落都会有一个主题句，主题句通常位于句首, 使读者一目了然, 整个语篇是一个完整的统一体. 语言流畅所谓统一性是指全篇的各个段落都是为一个中心思想服务, 而且每个段落都会围绕一个主题句来展开, 如果有游离于中心思想之外的句子就会使文章零散杂乱. 中心突出是因为开头第一句话就提出了主题句(controlling idea).造成段落结构松散的原因是句子的结构杂乱，要整理句子的结构, 把某些句子变成修饰或限定形式, 紧缩句子结构. 为使段落中心突出, 中心句必须能高度概括所在段落的论据. 中心句的概括性和具体性是段落和文章发展的基石. 思维直线性--统一性--完整性--连贯性(意义连贯, 形式连贯), 连贯性要使用一些过渡性的词语: 表层进: first/firstly to begin with/second/secondly to start with/third/thirdly what's more/also and then/and equally important/besides in addition/further in the first place/still furthermore/last but not the least/finally 表列举: for example/for instance/to illustrate as an illustration/after all/as a matter of fact/frankly speaking/in this case namely/in other word 表总结: in summary/in a word/in brief/in conclusion/to conclude/in fact/in short/in other word/of course it is turespecaily/thus as has been said/altogether in other word/finally in simpler terms/in particul- ar/that is/on the whole/therefore 表强调: of course/indeed/above all/most important/emphasis/certainly/in fact 表让步: still/nevertheless/in spite of/all the same/even so/after all/concession/naturally 表比较: in comparision with/likewise/similarly equally/however likewise/in the same way/by contrast 表转折: although/but/in contrast/nevertheless/on the contrary/on the other hand/otherwise/regardless/ yet/despite/even so/even though/for all that/however/in spite of/instead 表时间: after a while/afterward/as long as/at last/at length/at that time/before/earlier/eventually/ finally/formerly/further/furthermore/in addition/in the first place/in the past/last/lately/meanwhile/ moreover/next/now/presently/second/shortly/simultaneously/since/so
far/soon/subsequently/then/thereafter until now/when 贰议论文议论文的目的在于阐述道理，说服他人, 使人相信某种道理或假设, 它是所有应试作文中最常见文体. 议论文通常有两种推论方法, 即归纳法和演绎法. 但要在应试作文比较短的篇幅中取得良好的效果, 通常会遵从以下思路:引言段, 正文主题段, 结论概述. 引言段(introduction), 为了引起读者的好奇和兴趣, 引言段通常会有以下内容: 1, 关于主题的一些背景知识 2, 提及主题 3, 表明中心句(thesis statement) 正文(body),正文是一篇文章的主要部分, 本部分要讨论, 回答在引言段提出的问题, 而且语言的组织要自然, 有逻辑. 主体部分要有几个自然段, 每个段落都要有自己的主题句, 最好能在段首提出. 结论/结尾段(concluding paragraph), 结尾部分要言简意赅, 与主题密切相关, 要总结观点或提出希望, 并给读者留下深印象. 文章中如果缺少了这三大部分中的任何一部分，都会使人感到结构残缺. 对于一篇150-200字的文章, 要在短短的篇幅中把问题说明清楚, 应该遵循下面这个黄金比例:开头结尾各15%,中间的正文主题要在70%左右. 才能组织出一篇结构合理的文章. 应试议论文的形式虽然多变. 其实都是在考察两种能力: 1,Can you express and support your opinion? 2,Can you choose and defend a point of view? 而且以上两种能力的考察归根结底是以提纲式作文和图表(画) 式作文来体现的. 1、提纲式作文 Direction: A: Title : Fast Food B: Word Limit : about 200 words C: Your composition should be based on the outline given in Chinese
below 1、在节奏迅速的当今时代，快餐受到了人们的青睐 2、快餐受欢迎的原因，营养方面比较差 3、对快餐的态度应该是少吃为佳提纲式作文是一种控制性作文，写作者要根据题目和提纲，确定文章的中心思想，然后紧紧围绕中心思想展开讨论，表达提纲的主旨。但要注意，提纲只是文章中必须包括进去的内容要点，只是为文章提供一个支撑的骨架，不能拘泥，硬搬。提纲式议论文的内容可以划分为以下几个大框：①原因式：作文要求考生对一类社会问题或现象的原因进行分析解释。例如 My view on fake commodities 1、目前社会上有不少假冒伪劣商品，为什么会有这种现象。 2、举例说明假冒伪劣商品对消费者个人，社会等的危害。虽然题目的要求多变，但通常可以采用以下的模式来解决：
第一段：引入话题（引出文章要进行解释的某种现象或问题），表明作者对此问题的看法和态度。第二段：过渡性语言，概括全段主题，支持自己的观点的有力证据或理由（各个理由或论据之间加上合适的过渡性语言）。第三段：结论因此，原因式提纲式作文的写作思路具体规范一下，可以遵循以下格式： paragraph 1 thesis statement: A phenomenon or problem in society and my view/attitude on it paragraph 2 reasons : transitional expression + reason 1 transitional expression + reason 2 …… paragraph 3 conclusion, to restate the thesis ②分析解决式：所谓分析解决式是指针对某一社会现象找出其解决办法。此类似与原因式，但不同的是，分析解决式不仅要分析事件或现象的原因外，还要有相应的解决方法。这类题目，通常会采用以下的模式来解决：第一段：引入话题，（引出文章要进行解释的某种现象或问题），表明作者的态度或看法。第二段：过渡性语言+分析造成这种现象或问题的原因（几个原因）第三段：过渡性语言+就上述问题的起因逐个给出对应的解决办法或建议。第四段：总结+发出倡议或号召或展望未来。因此，可以将分析解决式作文的格式归纳如下： paragraph 1 thesis statement:A phenomenon or problem in society/my attitude on this issue paragraph 2 reasons: transitional expression + reason1 transitional expression + reason2 ……… paragraph 3 solution/advice: transitional expression + solution/advice 1 transitonal expression + solution/advice 2 …… paragraph 4 conclusion: to restate the thesis ③对比/比较式：此类作文要求考生比较两个事物或观点的优缺点, 并且要有自己的观点, 有自己的倾向. 多数情况下，对赞成的事物要多写优点, 对于反对的事物, 优点少写，多谈缺点, 这样在结论的时候才能达到另人信服的效果. 此类通常有以下的语言模式出现: Which idea do you agree with?/Do you agree or disagree with the statement./ which kind of…do you prefer?/Which do you think is better?/Then which one do you agree with and why?/ Write a short essay in which you discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each… 写作此类作文为了能使文章脉络清晰，使阅卷者能够迅速的找到文章的行文思路，通常采用下面的交替式格式：
第一段：引入话题（引出对该问题的不同看法），承认不同看法各自有各自的理由。第二段：过渡性语言+陈诉一方的观点或优点。第三段：过渡性语言+陈诉另一方的观点或缺点。第四段：结论表明自己的立场是支持一方的。sth's advantage far outweighs its disadvantages Direction: For this part you are going to write an essay on the topic of City Life and Suburban Life. You should write about 200 words and base your composition on the outline below. 1、最近几年愈来愈多的居民选择在郊区生活。
2、城市生活和郊区生活各有各的特点。 3、我的观点…… 此类作文的写作方式非常丰富，基本可以分为： A ，交替式优点比较法（一个段落写A 的优点，另一个段落写B 的优点） B ，交替式缺点比较法（一个段落写A 的缺点，另一个段落写B 的缺点） C ，板块式优缺点比较法（既在一个段落的空间里，谈到A 的优点的同时谈一下B 的缺点，或谈到A 的优点后再谈A 的缺点，反正此比较法形式多样，只要可以起到另人满意的比较效果，都可取）。④驳斥式：主要针对一些社会上比较流行而又存在谬误的做法或看法来进行批判的一种命题模式。这种命题方式的对应思路既类似于比较式，又类似于原因式，其格式不外乎下面的模式：第一段：引出社会中存在的一种谬误现象或看法，并提出自己的立场第二段：过渡性语言+实例例证该现象或看法的谬误所在第三段：重申自己的观点 Direction: Scientific discovery has brought about many negative effects to our life at the same time of promoting our life. Some people think that the development of science has disastrous side effects so that we shou- ld not live in modern society. What's your point of view? 可以将驳斥型英文的写作
格式归纳如下: paragraph 1 thesis statement: A wrong belief or problem in society and my criticism toward this view. paragraph 2 disputing process: transitional express + evidence 1 transitional express + evidence 2 …… paragraph 3 conclusion:to restate the thesis and my point of view 以上为提纲式议论文的一些总结。 3、图表（画）议论文图表(画) 式作文和提纲作文一样, 都是根据题目所提供的已知信息进行写作, 不同之处在于, 其限定性要求是以图表或者图画的形式来间接规定的. 对于这种命题形式的作文, 首先要对图表或图画作出认真分析, 弄清图表(画) 所含有的信息以及不同信息之间的关系, 抓住其表现趋势. 由于这种作文形式的信息载体不是文字而是图表, 所以需要注意以下几点: 第一、不能遗漏图表（画）中的信息，否则不能全面体现命题的写作要求，容易跑题或不切题。第二、在图表（画）中，特别是图表似作文中会有大量的数据，应该体现一定的数据，靠事实来说话，以数据来支持。第三、结尾处应该对图表（画）所表现的趋势加以预测。此类命题最广泛接受的模式如下：
第一段：描述图表（画），概括图表（画）所表现的社会问题。如果是图表式作文，在本段中不要出现具体的数据来说明情况，否则开头缺乏概括性，而图画式作文则要求文字稍微详细一些，但篇幅不可超过全文的1/3。第二段：在图表式作文中，用图表数据来论证第一段的主题，或者分析各个数据产生的原因，在图画式作文中，揭示图画的主旨。第三段：在图表式中分析预测走势，在图画式中发表议论或提出建议。可以把这种类型文章的格式归纳如下： paragraph 1 : thesis statement: A phenomenon or problem ravealed by the diagram paragraph 2 : analysis of the diagram: transitional express + analysis 1 transitional express + analysis 2 paragraph 3 : solution/suggestion/expectation 图表（画）作文会有一些自己的语言 1、图形种类泛指图表：a data graph/chart/diagram/illustration/table 饼图：pie chart 2、图标/数值直方图或拄形图：bar chart/histogram 图解：scheme 绘制：plot 趋势曲线图：line chart/curve diagram 简图：sketch 插图：plate 表格图：table 区域：section 流程图或过程图：flow chart/sequence diagram 图标：block 程序图：processing/procedures diagram 箭头：arrow 草图：draft 圈：circle 图画：picture/depiction 阴影区：shaded area 漫画：cartoon 垂直线：vertical stroke 肖像：image 星号：asterisk 连环画： comic 调查结果：protocol 3、开头段常用语言：在图表式作文第一段，我们通常要概括图表的内容，并揭示其中的含义，要用到以下语言： The table/chart diagram/graph shows (that)… show,describe,illustrate,can be seen from,reveal,represent,indicate,depict figure/statistic/number/percentage/proportion The scheme/sketch/block shows that… The arrow/circle/shaded area represents… The table is a protocol of the experiment… According to the table/chart diagram/graph, As is shown in the table/chart diagram/graph, As can be seen from the table … As we can spot from in the chart… It can be seen from the figures/statistics, we can see from the figures/statistics, It is clear from the figures/statistics, It is apparent from the figures/statistics, 4、数据变化：在描述图表式作文的内容时，会遇到一些表示“变化”的词，可以增强文章的语言表达色彩固定不变：fixed in time 波动：fluctuate/rebound/undulate/wave 转变：change over time 稳定：remain stable/stabilize/level off 增加：increase/raise/rise/go up/soar/shoot up 最高点：peaked/reached a peak/high point 减少：decrease/grow down/drop/fall/decline/reduce/slump 最低点：bottomed out/reached the bottom 形容词／副词：about/almost/approximately/dramatic/dramatically/exactly/gradual/gradually/just over/nearly over/precisely/sharp/significant/significantly/slight/slow/stable/stably/steady/steadily/steep/steeply/ sudden/suddenly/rapid/rapidly 5、比较级或倍数，比例关系 as many as/the largest group/almost half of/ranks first/by far show the ration of/to:呈……比例 similar to double the number of be in a direct ration to/with:呈正比 different from be in a inverse ration to/with:呈反比 more than compare with twice as many as on the contrary/in contrast to three times as many as the same as half the amount of 对于一篇一二百字的文章中，各个部分应该％遵循下面这个黄金比例，即开头和结尾各占１５％左右，中间的主题正文要７０％左右。这样才能组织出一篇结构合理的好文章。当然对于不同的情况
有时候需要具体情况具体分析二、开头的写法（开头指出文章主题，并为主题的发展做铺垫）１、现象法：指在文章的开头就指出某种社会现象。并对此提出自己的看法常用词汇：事件：issue/problem/question 热门，棘手：hot/heated/urgent/burning/pressing/pervasive/rampant 争论：debate/controversy/argument/dispute 一致，同意：consensus 引起注意：in the limelight/brought into attention/focus/concern 带来问题：impose/cause 出现问题：loom up/crop up 面临问题：confront/encounter/face question 使恶化：worsen/deteriorate 紧急的：acute 讨厌：undesirable 困扰：be plagued/embarrassed/upset by 广泛的：pervasive/rampant/prevalent 见证：witness 存在：under way 惊人的：alarming 套用句型： with the rapid /amazing development of… according to recent survey/poll/study,there have occurred… there is a heated/focused debate at present about the issue of … all reliable evidence justifies the fact/view that…is a rampant issue in today's society recently/nowadays/at present,the phenomenon of …has loomed up wide public concern the alarm about the issue of … has caused considerable/general attention the question of … has been in the limelight/brought into focus nowadays, our society is witnessing more and more… all available evidence points to the fact that… 2、观点法，开头就提出社会上人们的看法和观点，从而引出自己的主题和论据常用词汇：观点：idea/opinion/belief/attitude/illusion 涌现：spring up 认识：recognize/be aware of/be conscious of 构成威胁:pose threat on 认为：regard/view 挑战:challenge 影响思维：shape our mind 明显的:marked/obvious/conspicuous/visible 承认：ackownledgement/recognition/admission 威胁, 危险:stake 热衷：preoccupation/enthusiasm 抱怨:groan/complain 前景：prospect 破除观点:explode the belief 根深蒂固的观点：deep-seated idea 假想:premise/assumption 困扰：be obsessed with 毋庸质疑:undisputed 正确的：justified 传统观点: orthodoxy 套用句型： Now people in significant/growing numbers are aware of the idea that… Now people in significant/growing numbers are coming to recognize that… Researchers/scientists have established the concept that… It's well known/believed/agreed that… Various views exist as to the problem/phenomenon of… One of the hottest/most popular/serious issues many people talk/complain about nowadays is… People's views are divergent on the question of… when asked about…the overwhelmingly majority of people will… 3、正反对比论证法，开头首先引起人们对要讨论的问题的不同看法和观点，然后提出作者对此问题的态度。正反论证法与观点法有一定相似，不同是，正反论证法多用于有争议的主题，而观点法只是在开头提出一种见解或观点。常用词汇：反对：object/against 假想：assumption 认为：maintain/accept/hold/conceive 适度的，适量的：moderate 争议：controversy 怀疑的：skeptic 招致反对：provoke criticism 不满：beef/lament/fuss/grumble 不可避免的：inevitable 可行性：feasibility 歪曲事实：distort 套用句型： There is much discussion nowadays as to the problem of… Those who object to… argue that… But those who advocate… on the other hand,argue that… There is no agreement among people as to the issue of … Some people say that… Others say that… As to me,(I am on the first side of the argument.The following examples can prove my standpoint.) There is a public debate as to the issue of… When asked about… the vast majority of people say that… but others people view it as… When faced with… quite a few/most people claim/believe that… but other people regard… as There is a public controversy nowadays over the issue of… Those who object to the idea argue that… But people who favor… argue that… There is a heated debate today about the problem of… …seems to provoke wide criticism in today's society There is growing skepticism toward… 4、数据法，增强文章的可信度和说服力常用词汇：调查：poll/survey/research 高居榜首：at the top of the list 民意调查：poll/gallup显示：show/display/demonstrate/indicate 进行调查：conduct a survey/a survey undergone 稳定：remain stable/stabilize/level off… 数据：statistics/data 估计：estimation 从某角度：in terms of 套用句型： according to the survey/research/poll… the figure indicates that… A
survey is undergone about… An astonishing number is disclosed during a national survey… Such statistics present an undisputable fact that… 5、问题法，在文章开头提出一系列问题，引起读者好奇，从而展开对问题或事件原因的讨论。此法相对来说表达主题的能力不是很明显，有些问题的设计不合理或明知顾问，会导致首段中心不突出，主题句表达苍白/ 套用句型： One of the basic/hot topic facing our society is:what… How do you think of the problem of…?In seeking answers to the questions,… In answer to these quentions,we must… Why is there a…(a growing drift toward…)in society?It is no easy task to identify the cause for it. 6、名人名言法常用词汇：谚语：proverb 深思：contemplate 俗语：old saying 哲学家：philosopher 座右铭：motto 警句：epigram 评说：remark 被验证：be confirmed 声言：statement 议论：comment 回应：echo 被否定：be shattered 套用句型： One of the great men once remar ked that… Nowadays it still has a realistic/profound significance. One of the scientists once said that… Nowadays it is still working in our modern society. One great wirter had ever said that… Now more and more people share this belief. The remark is still confirmed by people in today's society./has been shared by generations. 7、故事法 Last week, a classmate of mine… The story is not rare.It has drawn public attention to the problem of The story/case/incident is not rare/unique/unusual in our life. Such a story is well-acknowledged by people: … 8、定义法定义：notion/definition 理念，概念：concept … , defined as …, is… by difinition we generally define …as… by the word"…",we mean… 三、主题段落的写作段落与段落之间，以及段落的不同层次之间都应该有自然的过渡，以达到文章通顺流畅的目的。 1、并列法（分类法），分类时常用：most of all/next/moreover/in addition/besides/furthermore/to begin with/ to start with/first of all/first/second/third/additionally/apart from 套用句型： Among the most important reasons offered by people for… ,one should be mentioned… A multitude of factors could contribute/account for the increase in … A number of factors could contribute to the success in … A multitude of factors could lead to the failure in … Another contibuting factor/contributory cause of … is … But … along is not the answer.Another best way to expain … is … at th e first glance---moreover---the last but not the least What's more,… 2、比较对照法，用于比较优缺点或不同观点的文章，经常伴有正反对比论证的开头。在这种主题段落写作中，分别列出某事物或观点的优点和缺点，通过这种比较对照得出某种结论。常用词汇：超过：outweigh 无与伦比：without rivals 明显的优势：distinct advantage 缺点：drawback/demerit 可取的：preferable 相反的：reverse 比较，对比： to weigh … and … 区别：distinction 抵消：offset/counterbalance 套用句型： By contrast,it is also important to note that … The advantages of A outweigh any benefit we gain from B. The advantages of B carry more weight than those of A. Good as A is,however, it has its own disadvantages. Although A has a distinct advantage over B, it cannot compete with B in … Although
A enjoys considerable advantage of … it cannot compete with B in … In view of this situation,people put forward two countermoves to solve it. As to whether it is a blessing or a curse,however,people take different attitudes/stands. People rarely reach an absolute consensus on such a controversial issue. every icon has two sides./every knife is double-edged./Fire is a good servant but a bad master. … itself is neither good nor bad and its value to people and society depends on how it is used.we should exploit its merits and shun/avoid its drawbacks. The advantage of having roommate always outweigh the disadvantages. Finally, the incomparable advanta ge is that… this kind of change is both positive and negative / It goes without saying that, … on the one hand,on the other hand those who welcome it maintain the view that,… at the same time of benefiting our life,computer is also bringing about its side effect. some people hold that … other people,on the contrary, advocate… In fact,neither of them is absolutely reasonable. 3、因果法，通过分析几个构成事件发生的原因，来解释某个结果的形成。归因于： attribute to / ascribe to / owe to
导致：lead to/result in/give rise to/entail/cause 套用句型： There are also factual reasons for disagreeing with the belief. The reason for… are complex, but one factor is consideration everywhere. The reason for.. Is varied.And maybe they lie in the fact that… The causes/reasons for…are complicated/profound.Andperharps they are found in the fact that…/And the first reason may be… one may attribute the increase to… why are…? For one thing…another is…perharps the primary reason is… The success/failure/decline stems/derives/results from the factors as fellows. One lies in…another is found in … still another consists in… there is another reason why I cast my preference for… …is mainly responsible for… we may look into every possible reason except the real one.The leading/underlying/root cause/for … is… these factors,coupled with the factor of … ,lead to… this is a marked situation,but reasons for it are not hard to find. 4、例证法，通过列举某些事实来证明某种观点的正确性。例证法往往是和其他段落手法结合使用举例说明。常用词汇：举例：illustrate/illustration 引用：cite/quote an example 事例：to cite an example 适用的例子：a case in point 例如：for example/for instance 证据：evidence/proof 不容质疑：it goes without saying/undeniable 表明：unfold/expose/index/reveal/exhibit 套用句型： we may cite/quote a single/common example of … we may mention another example of … The following examples can prove my standpoint. I can think of no better illustration of this idea than the fact that … There is now evidence that … the most striking instance… / the list of such examples isnumberous. The above instances drive us to a natural conclusion that … to illustrate/As another instance/If one more example is needed, I could mention…/Given the examples I just outlined,I can only say that… 5、批驳法，此类主题段的写作往往是跟在观点式或正反对比论证式的开头后面。首先提出某种在社会上比较流行的说法，然后对此观点进行批驳，并用充分的事实理由作为论据。揭示：reveal/disclose/unfold/expose/indicate 有道理：a grain of truth/hold water 无价值的：flimsy 决不：on no account/in no case/under no circumstance 无根据的：groundless 深思：on a second thought 无保证的：unwarrantd 表明观点：air/voice one's view 荒谬的：fallacious/ridiculous/absurd 排除可能：rule out the possibility 言论：assertion/statement 主张：assert 套用句型： A careful examination of these arguments would reveal how groundless they are. On the surface, it may seem a sound solution,but carefully weighing on the mind,we find that… At first thought,it may seem an attractive idea,but on closer analysis,we find that… The main problem with this argument is that it is ignorant of the basic fact that… The obvious drawback in this view is that it is blind to the fact that… what they fail to understand/consider/mention is that… But I don't think this view will hold water. It's unden iable that… There is a long-running controversy as to whether… As far as I am concerned,I don't find any echo of this idea in my heart.On the contrary,it's totally a nonsence on a second thought. In a word,the issue is not complicated and controversial. There is much debate upon the issue of … We can safely conclude that … 四、结尾的写法点睛之笔。评卷人的精力更多投向文章开头，每段的过渡和文章的结尾。 1、总结法，最常见的结尾方式，是指根据全文内容，得到一个总结性的言论来结束文章。常用词汇：得到结论：draw/come to/arrive at a conclusion 总之：all in all/in a word/to sum up/in general 证明观点：justify/confirm/warrant the view 不容质疑：indisputable/striking 套用句型： From what has been discussed above,we may safely draw the conclusion that… Taking into account all these factors, we may arrive at the conclusion that… All the evidence/analysis supports/justified/confirms/warrants a/an unmistakable/unshakable view/sound idea/fair conclusion that… All the available/reliable evidence goes to show that.../ points to the fact that… In view of the above -mentioned facts,we should undoubted come to the conclusion that … to sum up,… /to conclude,… 2、呼吁法，所谓呼吁法是指在文章结尾处论及与读者的切身利益相关的论点，然后提出倡议呼吁人们作出努力来参与行动。常用词汇：解决问题：
tackle/handle/take up the question 困境：plight 忽视问题：fail in/ignore/be blind to the issue 急切的：imperative 套用句型： we must call for an immediate action/method,because the current dendency of …,if permitted to develop at will,it will result in the destruction of … 3、预测法，为了鼓舞人心，通过预测未来的方法来结束文章。常用词汇：解决方案：recipe/solution/remedy/measure/approach 鼓舞人心的：encouraging/promising/cheerful 迅速有效的：instant/effective/valid 有回报的：rewarding/pay-offf不久的将来：foreseeable future/near future 致力于：be committed/devoted/engaged to 前景，预测：prospect 持续努力：sustain the efforts 套用句型：Fortunately,however,more and more people come to realize the importance of … and improvement is in near future. There is no easy solution to the issue,but … might be helpful/beneficial. There is no effective approach to the problem of …,but our commitment will be rewarded as long as we insist on assuming our responsibility on it. The effect that…will bring about are far-reaching. …will exert a profound influence on … in my judgment,however, … It's important to sustain our efforts to … Indeed, it is not an easy thing for … .But I think,… 4、结尾常用的总结性语言 Admittedly/A conclusion from…, is that…/All in all/As a final comment/At last/At length/Consequently/ Finally/From this point of view/hence/In a word/In berief/In conclusion/In short/In summary/ On account of this,we can find that…/On this background,it's concluded that… to sum up/to summarize 5、结尾要注意的问题，不要犯以下的错误，这些误区不但不能起到辅助文章中心，重申文章主题的作用，反而有害于它。①远离主题②空喊口号 Try our best from now on!This is what we should do! ③痛下决心 Let's be determined to be hardworking in our new construction process in our modernization development. 五、如何发表个人观点 1、表示自己支持的观点 If I were forced to agree with one of the two methods, my choice would be for… I am one of the many people who support the idea of … As far as … concerned, I prefer… For my part,I am a supporter of … I prefer to … because… On the question of … I have for a long time admitted that… when… more often than not,prefer to … Given the factors I have outlined,I believe that… Therefore, I strongly recommend that… I strongly commmit to the notion that… Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, I am inclined to believe that… 2、表示个人反对的观点 Admittedly…,but I think it is advisa ble that… At first sight/galance, the idea sounds reasonable,but if we take a further look,we can find that it does not hold water.

if/because/when/don't/can't, 减少I think/you/we/us等表示个人行为语言的频率。使用比较正式的语言，例：cannot do not must not Many people think that--变为使用--many people acknownledged that/hold the view that/maitain that等。 5、其他因素如缩写形式的使用/人称指代/动词代替动词短语/从句引导词/分词结构与句子的选择/各种句式的选择
