1、ENGLISH PARAGRAPH WRITING英英语段落写作段落写作1段落写作段落写作段落是文章内容中具有一个完整意义的外部表现形态,是文章结构的基本单位。段落通常由若干个对一个主要观点展开论述的相互关联的句子组成。但段落并非是句子的随意堆砌,句子内容之间应该具有连贯和逻辑性。段落表达的内容应该是单一的,一个段落只能表达一个意思,而不能把意思上互不相关的句子堆砌在一起,造成段落内容的庞杂错乱;段落表达的内容应该是完整的,一个意思应当尽量集中在一个段落里陈述,最好不要分割成两段或几段,而使段落内容支离破碎。2English Paragraph Writing1ParagraphStructu

3、中用于概括段落主旨大意的句子,叫做主在段落中用于概括段落主旨大意的句子,叫做主题句。一个好的主题句能够准确地表达作者的观题句。一个好的主题句能够准确地表达作者的观点或态度。关于主题的这个观点或态度成为主题点或态度。关于主题的这个观点或态度成为主题思想(思想(controlling idea)。主题句限定了在一个单)。主题句限定了在一个单独的段落中所允许讨论的内容。独的段落中所允许讨论的内容。例:主题句Gold,apreciousmetal,isprizedfortwoimportantcharacteristics.该句中gold是主题词,twoimportantcharacteristics
4、是表达主题思想的关键词。5How to Write a Good Topic SentenceThree essential points: 3个要点个要点1.主题句必须是一个完整的句子,包括一个主语,一个谓语动词,常常还带有其它修饰语。下面的例子中虽然有的包括主题思想,但并不是完整的句子。Fragments:Drivingonfreeways.Howtoregisterforcollegeclasses.Thebenefitsoftelevisiontochildren.6Revised sentences:Drivingonfreewaysrequiresskillandalertness
5、机敏.Registeringforcollegeclassescanbeafrustratingexperiencefornewstudents.Televisionbenefitsyoungchildreninthreemajorways.Fragments:Drivingonfreeways.Howtoregisterforcollegeclasses.Thebenefitsoftelevisiontochildren.7How to Write a Good Topic SentenceThree essential points:2.主题句由主题词和主题思想的表述两部分构成主题词表明讨
6、论的对象。主题思想的表述部分限制或控制这个主题在一个段落中能够被论述的具体方面。它应该是能够展述主题思想的一个词或一个短语,即关键词。8TopicandcontrollingideaThetopicsentencegivesaparagraphdirectionandpurpose.Ittellswhattheparagraphisabout(thetopic),andhowthewriterwilldevelopthattopic(thecontrollingidea).试分析下列的主题句:9例1TheWomensMovementhashadseveraleffectsontheEnglis
7、hlanguage.在这个主题句中,表达主题思想的关键词是severaleffects,它规定了谈论的主题和内容。为了论证这个主题思想,作者应提供具体细节或实例来回答这样的问题:“WhatreasonsdidIhaveforsayingseveraleffects?”有可能列出以下原因:1)IthascreatedMs.,atitleforwomencomparabletoMr.formen.2)TheMovementhaschangedtheendingofseveralcompoundwordsfrommantoperson.3)TheMovementisresponsibleforsom
8、enewterms.10例2Studentsonthiscampusrecentlyvoicedseveralcomplaints.问题:该主题句中,表达主题思想的关键词是什么?什么?答案:severalcomplaints所以在主题句后,应辅以细节来论证主题思想severalcomplaints。有可能列出下列事实:有可能列出下列事实:1)Theyvoiceddissatisfactionwiththecampuslighting.2)Theyexpressedtheirdisgustwiththecafeteriafood.3)Theyprotestedthegradingpolitics
9、oftheinstructors.11例3Smokingcigarettescanbeanexpensivehabit.该主题句中,主题是thehabitofsmokingcigarettes,主题思想是Smokingcigarettescanbeexpensive。在此句中expensive是表示主题思想的关键词,在展开主题句的段落中,应论证吸烟的确是开销较大的一种习惯。下面是一个说明主题展开的段落提纲。1)Cigarettescostaboutseventy-fivecents.2)Theaveragesmokersmokestwopacksaday.3)Theannualexpensef
10、orthissmokeris$547.50.4)Thesmokermustalsopayforextracleaningofcarpets,furniture,andclothes.12How to Write a Good Topic Sentence3.由于主题句仅仅提及主题思想,因此只是一种概括性的陈述而不提供具体的细节,它能被段落中其它句子解释、论证或分析。主题句应该对该段落内容进行适当概括和限制。主题句如果太过笼统,就不能包含具体的思想和观点,对段落如何展开缺乏指导和限定,使读者由于内容太空泛而很难确切地知道本段要谈论的内容;主题句如果太具体,读者就会发现作者对这段内容已无发挥、充实
11、的余地,而无法将主题句展开。13Which is a good topic sentence?1.Americanfoodisterrible.2.AmericanfoodistastelessandgreasybecauseAmericansusetoomanycanned,frozen,andprepackagedfoodsandbecauseeverythingisfriedinoilorbutter.3.Americanfoodistastelessandgreasy.141.Americanfoodisterrible.第一句作为主题句不合适,因为句子内容阐述过于笼统和抽象过于笼统和
12、抽象,段落扩展的发挥点不发挥点不明确明确。2.AmericanfoodistastelessandgreasybecauseAmericansusetoomanycanned,frozen,andprepackagedfoodsandbecauseeverythingisfriedinoilorbutter.第二句缺乏概括性的特点缺乏概括性的特点,局限于某个具体事务,而在文字和内容上无法再进一步展开。153.Americanfoodistastelessandgreasy.第三句具有概括性的观点具有概括性的观点,可以通过列举事实、说明理由,补充细节材料,展开段落内容。所以,这是一个比较好的主题
13、句。试分析下面的句子:是否能做主题句是否能做主题句?HongKongisfamousforitsdevelopedeconomy,highstandardofliving,andinterculturalatmosphere.分析:这个句子包含了过多的信息,主体不明确,这过多的信息,主体不明确,这会使段落缺乏统一性会使段落缺乏统一性。句中所阐述的三个部分的内容是互不相关的,不能单独放再单独的一个段落内叙述,而应放在三个段落里写。改写为:HongKongisfamousforitsdevelopedeconomy,就可以成为一个比较好的主题句了。16Activity Identify which

16、a Good Topic SentencePosition of Topic Sentence: 主题句的位置主题句的位置主题句的位置比较灵活,通常位于段首,其优点是开门见山,一目了然。用演绎法写的段落也称“扩张法”,就是以概述主题开首,随之辅以细说,即用具体细节或事例来演绎展开主题句中的主题思想。主题句有时也位于段落的中间。这种写作方法常用来比较或对比不同的对象。段中主题句起承上启下,使上下文平衡的作用。19How to Write a Good Topic SentencePosition of Topic Sentence: 主题句的位置主题句的位置用归纳法写段落也称作“收拢法”,从细节
17、出发,最后归纳到段落的中心论点。用此种方法写作时,主题句一般位于段落的末尾,它是依据上文的细节推论出的论点,起到画龙点睛的作用。在有的段落中,主题句甚至不直接写出来,而是通过细节的陈述含蓄地表达出段落的主题思想。是,需有读者意会。20尽管主题句可以出现在段落中的任何位置,但对于英语写作的初学者来说,大多数情况下,采用段首主题句的方法进行写作练习,便于扩展和限制全段的写作,是一种行之有效的方法。我们必须明确,主题句无论出现在段落的何处,都必须是段落内容的焦点,即必须涵盖段落其它句子所阐述的论点。21PracticeRead each of the following paragraphs.

48、easytofollowthewriters段落的连贯性段落的连贯性trainofthought.513 Paragraph Coherencecohere表示“tostick”或“toholdtogether”。连贯,一是指结构上的连贯;二是指内容上的连贯。也就是文章的结构层次和连接应按照一定的逻辑顺序编排,在一个句子衔接下个句子时或是一个段落连接下个段落时,必须合乎逻辑、连贯紧凑、不应有跳跃。这样句子或段落衔接自然流畅,文章层次分明,脉络清晰。读者就会比较容易跟随作者的思路深入理解写作内容。523 Paragraph Coherence两种保持段落连贯性的方法。第一,用转承词语或称转承信号
49、词转承信号词表明一个意思是怎样与下一个意思相连的;Transition signals第二,按照一定的逻辑顺序逻辑顺序排列句子,采用何种逻辑顺序应取决于文章的主体和写作目的。最常用的逻辑顺序是时间顺序、空间顺序和主次顺序。Logical orderChronologicalOrder时间顺序SpatialOrder空间顺序OrderofImportance重要性次序53Transition signals are words such as first, second,next,finally,therefore,andhowever,orphrasessuchasin conclusion,
