12、es water can be harmful or even destructive. For example, you will have trouble doing outdoor jobs if it rains for days. Plants such as wheat and cotton will suffer a lot if it rains too much. A flood does much harm to all forms of life. Lets take English learning for example to show the principle o

13、f “Practice makes perfect”. You can learn some words and grammar from books and teachers, but without practice, you can never use them freely. Besides, you will even find it too difficult to remember them. The only way to solve this problem is to keep practising. Another example to show the same pri

14、nciple is learning to swim. It is obvious that you can never swim if you dare not drop yourself into water. Swimming can only be learned through practice in water, which can make you get the feeling of water and make your motion correct and effective. 利用举例模块穿插，可以把抽象的观点具体化，把难于表述的观点用具体的事例间接地表述出来。总之，用什

15、么样的过渡词展开主题句，完全取决于内容的需要。其他常见的扩展模块有：注：( 代表一个句子) （N 代表一个名词）（ NN代表多个名词）(1) 两点法模块：用于较短的段落，只陈述两个观点。常用的关联词语有1）For one thing, For another (thing), 2) On one hand, On the other hand, (2) 正反法模块：用于陈述事物的两个方面，常用的关联词语有: 1) Each coin has two sides.

18、e above analysis we can safely conclude that 3）All the evidence justifies an unshakable conclusion that 第二讲 如何开头常言道：好的开端等于成功了一半。开头也就是写作中的引言（Introduction）部分，其作用是引出主题、确立论点。常见的开端有以下五种：(1）主题句法：提出一个观点/论据作为文章要阐明和论述的主题。例如：The development of science and technology has brought about many changes. For example

19、, modern medical science makes people live a longer and healthier life. TV keeps us well informed and brings a vivid world into ordinary families. Owing to the invention of spaceships and rockets, mans dream of landing on the moon, which was impossible several decades ago, has now come true. In shor

20、t, all the scientific products are changing the way we live and work.However, there are some problems with the Three Gorges Project that need careful handling. First of all, the deposits of sand and mud are two of the headaches with the project. Second, the problems of emigration, economic developme

21、nt and environment protection need careful study. Third, how to protect some precious species of sea animals so as to keep the balance of nature is another problem the project is faced up with. In short, we should take all the problems into serious consideration.Some claim that there are a lot of ad

22、vantages of possessing a car. To begin with, it gives a much greater degree of comfort and mobility. The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport, and hence no irritation caused by the waiting for buses and taxies. In addition, with a car he can go wherever he likes and wheneve

23、r he wants to so that he can enjoy his leisure to the full by making trips to the country or seaside on the weekends. In a word, cars bring about lots of conveniences.(2）数据法：引用已证实的某些统计数据引出话题。例如： According to a recent survey, about 25 percent of Chinese college students now hold a part-time job. In t

24、he past, there was nearly none 10 years ago. This figure increases to 72 percent during summer vacation. College students are seen waiting on tables, clerking in stores, advertising in streets, teaching in families and doing whatever work they can find.(3) 问题法：用提出问题，即：设问的方法来引出文章的主题。例如：What is succes

25、s? Different people have different answers to this question. Some people think that one is successful if he can make a great deal money. Other people believe that success means holding an important government post. Why have I chosen to attend colleges? This is the question I have kept asking myself

26、many times in the past two academic years. But the answer is always the same: college education is something I truly want to do in my life and it is worthwhile. Why cant the burden of the Chinese pupils be relieved in spite of social protest? For one thing, parents have a strong desire for the early

27、 intelligent achievement of their children. They believe that if you do not force them to read more, a golden opportunity for the success will be lost and the chances of their being admitted to key schools, and then to colleges will be slim. For another, our teachers work with parents to apply press

28、ure. Since scores are not only the mark of success or failure for a particular student, but also a measurement of a teachers performance, it is natural for a teacher to assign more homework for his own sake as well as for his students. (4）引用法：引用名言、谚语等引出文章的主题。如： As the proverb says, “No one knows the

29、 value of health until he loses it.” In other words, nothing is more valuable than health. It is clear that health is the very foundation of ones future success. If you fall ill, it is nearly impossible to pursue your career effectively, much less make your dreams come true. On the other hand, if yo

30、u are healthy and strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead of you. A proverb says, “Time is money.” But in my opinion, time is even more precious than money. Because when money is spent, we can earn it back; but when time is gone, it will never return. Thus we must value t

31、ime and learn to make the best use of it in order to realize our dreams. As the saying goes, “Never too old to learn.” As for grown-ups, even the aged, learning is important as well. Although they have studied something for many years, and have learned a lot already, there are still some experiences

32、 and laws for them to learn. Life is limited while knowledge is boundless. Moreover, the world keeps changing constantly with the development of science and technology. There is always something new for them to learn. Only constant learning can make people become more learned and experienced so that

33、 they can suit the changing world better.(5）定义法：对标题下定义，然后通过举例、逻辑推理等方法加以详细说明。如：What is self-confidence? It is generally accepted that self-confidence refers to the firm belief in ones ability to do something well. In other words, it is a key to ones success because it provides a solid psychological g

34、round for ones work. This is how I understand the meaning of self-confidence. 第三讲 如何结尾结尾经常用来总结全文，提出自己的观点、建议或期望。文章的结尾写得好则给读者留下较深刻的印象。文章的结尾有以下种：(1)重复主题法：抓住主题句中的核心词换一种表达形式重述文章或段落的主题。如：Many people appreciate the conveniences of the city. There are some good reasons. First, living in the city, they are w

35、ell-informed of the exciting and important events that take place both at home and abroad. Second, modern transportation facilities in the city make it easy to travel around. Taking advantage of them, one can even visit other parts of the world. Finally, shopping centers, restaurants and recreation

36、centers are always within easy reach. In short, it is convenient to get and do what one wants to in the city. As a human being, one can hardly do without a friend. With friends, one has someone to turn to whenever he is in trouble. And with the help of honest friends, one can get over the difficulti

37、es and hardships he encounters in his life and work. Furthermore, friends are the people one can consult, share happiness with and exchange opinions with. In a word, friends are indispensable to everyone.As far as my suggestion as to the best way to show love is concerned, whenever one gets in troub

38、le, it is our duty to lend a helping hand to him. Love means mutual help. We should never hesitate to show our love to anyone in distress. I believe that only if our society is full of love will tomorrow be better and brighter.(2）归纳法：在文章结尾处用几句话把全文内容概括一下，以强调文章的主题，给读者留下更深的印象。如：Living a Long Life一文的节选：

39、Many reasons accounts for the fact that people who live in mountainous areas live much longer than those living in industrial areas. First, （略）Second, （略）Finally, （略）These are the three main reasons why the people living in mountainous areas enjoy a longer life than the urban people.(3）反问法：文章以反问句结尾，

40、引发读者思考，使文章更具有说服力。如：Man is highly adaptable and creative, and since he is able to tap such resources as oil and metals, why cant he develop and harness solar energy, nuclear energy and other unknown energy resources?请看Why Learn English?一文的节选：Many people are studying English. They attend schools, lear

41、n on the radio and TV in order to master this foreign language. Obviously, people have realized the importance and necessity of learning English.It is well known that English has become an international language for the following reasons. (略)In a word, English is really a very useful tool to us in t

42、he 21st century. Why cant we double our efforts to learn it?(4）建议法：研究生考试的作文往往要求阐述“我的观点、建议、希望或解决方法”，而且要求阐述得越具体越好。如：In order to reduce the number of smokers, we should take the following effective measures. Firstly, we should constantly warn young people of the danger of smoking. Secondly, laws and re

43、gulations already in effect ought to be enforced and new rules passed to forbid smoking in public places, such as schools, hospitals, railway stations, offices, etc. Thirdly, cigarette production and selling must be strictly controlled by the nation. Only by doing so can we effectively cut down the

44、number of smokers in our country.The above discussion naturally leads us to the following possible solutions to the problem. To begin with, new laws should be passed to strictly control the amount of pollutants factories may release into the water and air. Besides, the existing laws should be enforc

45、ed to severely punish those who dare to break the laws. In addition, families are to be encouraged to use manmade gas instead of coal to cook their food in order to further reduce the air pollution. Furthermore, vehicles have to be equipped with pollution-reducing devices. What is more, the public s

46、hould be well educated on the importance of protecting the environment, which, in a sense, is the most important measure in fighting against pollution.How can we effectively stop such a bad tendency of drop-out? First, we must try our best to educate the public on the importance of education. China

47、needs a lot of well-educated people for the realization of the four modernizations, and schools are the very places where these people are produced. Without knowledge, how can we realize our great goal? Second, we have to raise more money from the society to help children from poor families to conti

48、nue their schooling. Besides, governments at all levels should give more funds to support the elementary education. Third, we had better pass new laws to more severely punish those who employ children as workers. Only by doing so can we reduce the number of drop-outs to a greater extent. (5) 利弊比较：As

49、 far as smoking is concerned, its advantages seem to outweigh its disadvantages in the short run. But in the long run, its disadvantages surely outweigh its advantages. (6）合分法：As far as I am concerned, I believe both ability and good looks are important for the modern people. But if I cannot have bo

50、th at the same time, I prefer the former, that is, the traditional view. As we all know, we are living a knowledge-based economy era. If we want to survive in the competitive society, if we want to make better contribution to the economic construction of our motherland, if we want to realize our dre

51、ams, we have to have the necessary ability to reach the above goals. Good looks may help us to do so, but it is usually the ability not the good looks that plays the decisive role. (7）口号法The debate seems to go on for a long time and the outcome is not clear yet. No matter which is more important, go

52、od looks or ability, one thing is certain. As a college student in the new century, we should make the best use of the university time to maser as much knowledge and as many skills as possible. Only in this way can we make a better contribution to the economic construction of our motherland in the f

Attitudes vary from person to person.

55、Generally speaking, there are two kinds of views. Those who are against the protection of wild animals argue that the population of the world is increasing, and that land now inhabited by wild animals must eventually be used to grow food or provide homes for human beings. And the life of wild animal

56、s accounts for nothing as compared with that of human beings. In addition, farmers complain that wild animals damage their crops, and frighten or even kill workers in villages and fields. However, supporters of wild animals want to defend wild animals against the danger of extinction for the followi

57、ng reasons. First, they argue that wild life is a precious heritage for future generations and that all living things have the right to live in nature. Second, they answer the criticism of farmers by pointing out that wild animals do not normally attack human beings unless they are first attacked th

58、emselves. Third, they manage to make the opponents believe that humans can work out ways of raising the yield to feed the increasing population and of building more high buildings for people to live in. The argument continues and the outcome is far from clear. Yet there is one thing that is certain.

59、 It is high time that we did something for wild animals not only for the sake of animals but also for human beings in the future. 范文2标题：能力和相貌：孰重孰轻？提纲：1、传统的观念重能力。 2、现代的观念有点重相貌。 3、你的看法。Which is more important, good looks or ability?Which is more important, good looks or ability? Different people have

60、different answers to this. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of views. Traditionally, people think that ability is more important in their work and survival. As the saying goes, Dont judge a person by his appearance. In other words, what really counts is not the appearance but the ability in t

61、he society. Many famous writers and scientists in China and any other countries can be good examples to support this argument. Nowadays some people come to believe that good looks are becoming more and more important in the modern time. The reasons for this can be seen as follows. First, in the mode

62、rn time most of the jobs are composed of office work, sales work and service work. Some good-looking people may be lucky to find such good jobs. Second, in the interview, good-looking people are more likely to get the jobs he or she is applying for. In short, good looks seem to be more and more impo

63、rtant for the time being.(见“合分法”/“口号法”)第五讲 辅助练习一、“伸缩法”：1、利用“伸缩法”研读、背诵、重写、对照范文、模拟练习10 篇文章。 具体步骤如下：第一步：研读范文，尽量以词组形式写出主题句和扩展句的中心词，写成提纲的形式，此乃“缩”。例如：Holiday EconomyThe long holidays have caused unexpected great travel boom and brisk economic activities. Holiday spending, however, adds fuel to the Chinese

64、 economy, which in turn leads to the creation of a new term “Holiday Economy”. But meanwhile, it sparks a hot debate about it.Some economists are in favor of the Holiday Economy. They believe it has many advantages. First, tourism-based holiday economy will raise its consumption, stimulate spending and therefore, help to spur the domestic d
