1、1写作步步高之六写作步步高之六如何写出好段落如何写出好段落段落是文章的基本单位，是文章的缩影。写好了段落，就能比较成功地写出较好的文章。进行段落层次上的写作训练，是写好英语作文的关键一环。段落一般是由主题句(topic sentence)、扩展句(supporting sentences)和结论句(concluding sentence)三部分构成的。1. 主题句主题句主题句表达段落主题，概括段落的中心思想，是段落发展的依据，要求全段其他文字都围绕它展开。主题句通常放在段落的开端，其特点是开门见山地摆出问题，然后加以详细说明，其作用是使文章的结构更清晰，更具有说服力，便于读者迅速地把握主题和预
2、测全段的内容。有时主题句位于段落中间，起着承上启下的作用。有时主题句置于段末，起着概括全段的作用。也有时主题句含而不露，隐藏在字里行间。而将主题句放在段首的写作方法最常见，更易于掌握，所以考生可尽量采用这种方法。主题句的写法：主题句的句子结构和思想内容必须完整、清楚、具体、不能模棱两可、空泛。要避免不完整(incomplete)、不清楚(unclear)、过于笼统(general)，在写主题句时应注意以下几点：归纳出你要写的文章的几个要点 提炼出一句具有概括性的话 主题句应具有可读性，能吸引读者。如作文题目是 The Advantages of Travel(旅行的好处)。试比较其中一段的主题

5、addition, to illustrate, one example is 。(3) 因果法因果法(cause and effect)在阐述某一现象的段落中，常采用因果分析法，根据事物发生的原因推理其结果，或根据结果分析其原因。表原因的连接词有：because of, owing to, due to, result from, because, since, as 等；表结果的连接词有：therefore, as a result (of), consequently, accordingly, so 等。(4) 比较或对照法比较或对照法(comparison and contrast)
6、比较或对照法就是通过将同类事物的相似点或不同点进行比较分析来支持主题句的方法。常见的表示相同的连接词有：similarly, similar to, like, in common, in the same way等；表示不同的连接词有：compared with, differ from, be different from, on the other hand, on the contrary, unlike, however, whereas, while 等。(5) 分类法分类法(classification)在阐述某一概念的段落中，常用分类法。通过对事物进行分门别类，分别加以叙述，使
