the,divorced people.,(主题句),In the past the act of divorce itself was,considered a social stigma.Even if a couple had already lived,separately,they dared not to seek divorce.Now that divorce has,become

significant change in peoples traditional,view of marriage and divorce.,(最后是归纳性总结,对文章中心思,想句加以重复),第9页,第9页,10,(2)解释理由:,解释性文章不但是解释某种社会现象或社会问题及其原因,,比如:为何离婚率高?为何青少年抽烟越来越多?为什,么成功者不总是最聪明者?也有解释做个人事情理由:比如,为何我要上网?为何我要学习英语等等。其结构是一样,,所不同是往往以第一人称着笔。,Task 2:,You are allowed 40

is:in,addition to knowledge,I can gain experiences that those who stay,at home will never have.,(,用个人经历引出主题,继而引出了文,章观点:我出国读书不只是为了知识,尚有在国内读书体验不到,经历。),第11页,第11页,12,First,experience is the opportunity for the real-life use of,foreign languages.,(主题句),While a person can study a foreign,language at home,the effect can never be compared with,constant use of the language in academic and everyday

several,years,for example,my English will be as perfect as native,speakers.,(,在国外自然接触外语经历,其能力提升是在国内不能比。),第12页,第12页,13,Second,living and studying abroad offers me a different,perspective of the

Problem,or Phenomenon,Thesis Statement,第15页,第15页,16,Task 3:,You are allowed 40 minutes to write an essay about 250 words on the following topic.,While most people pursue success,either academic or

Conclusion,第22页,第22页,23,第一段先引出要比较两个事物或事件。如能表明自己倾向,也可在此段里表示。第二段至第四段主要通过对比和比较,进一步阐明或阐述自己见解。由于这种比较是有倾向比较,因此对两事物特点及优缺点叙述不能“一视同仁”,而要有区别。,普通说来,对要否认事物其优缺点要少写、略写,一笔带过,在句子结构里,把长处置于从句位置。而其缺点要充足暴露,甚至不惜夸张。相反,对要必定事物其长处应多写、详写,充足显示,而对其缺点应轻描淡写,甚至不写。这种有侧重叙述,较能确保观点鲜明。,第23页,第23页,24,在段落安排上,为表达这种主次轻重,能够这样安排:,第二段要写否认事物,先必定其长处,然后指出另一方面致命缺点。第三段要必定事物,先认可有一定缺点,后分析其长处。第四段继续写必定事物,分析其它长处。,Task
