高中英語寫作技巧
(一)議論文的寫作步驟
1、引言(introduction):由于英語作文受時間、字?jǐn)?shù)的限制,因此,在引言段中作者就
必須簡單解釋要討論的問題,并明白地亮出自己的觀點,如提倡什么,支持什么,反對
什么等。
2、展開段(supporting sentences):展開段是議論的過程,作者必須有足夠的證據(jù)(adequate
proofs)來論證自己的觀點。一般可提出一個或兩個proofs, 并對此用一兩句話分別進(jìn)行
闡述。
3、結(jié)論(conclusion):結(jié)論段可以用一兩句話來結(jié)束文章。同時要注意與引言段呼應(yīng),
但不能照搬前面的原話。
(二)議論文的類型
英語議論文根據(jù)命題特點,從形式上來看可分為如下類型:
1、對問題“一分為二”的觀點。這類文章大多結(jié)合當(dāng)前時事,要求學(xué)生就某種現(xiàn)象談其利弊。如“轎車大量進(jìn)入家庭后,對家庭、環(huán)境、經(jīng)濟(jì)可能產(chǎn)生的影響”。此類文章的模式及套語如下,僅供參考:
第一段:
nowadays more and more people…/… plays an important part in… like everything else… has /have both favorable and unfavorable aspects (both advantages and disadvantages). generally, the favorable aspects (advantages) can be listed as follows.
第二段:
first…secondly…in addition(what’s more)…
第三段:
every coin has two sides. the negative aspects (advantages) are also apparent (obvious). to begin with… to make matters worse… worst of all…
第四段:
through above analysis/all things considered, we can see that the positive aspects(advantages) outweigh the negative aspects(disadvantages). therefore …
范文:討論電腦的利弊。
computers are playing a more and more important role in modern society. they are widely used almost in every field, such as business, transportation and education. we use computers to process and store all kinds of information. also, they are entering ordinary families. we use computers to control electrical appliances and to entertain ourselves by playing games on them. without computers, the world would not be what it is today.
in spite of this, computers cause problems. for instance, a great system will break down when only a single computer goes wrong. it is possible that somebody breaks into a computer system to steal secret information. we cannot rely so much on computers.
so we should develop more advanced and reliable computers in order to make our life more colorful and meaningful.
2、“兩者選一”的觀點。這要求學(xué)生在a和b之間作一選擇或比較,如“乘火車還是乘飛機”。
第一段:
some people hold the opinion that (a) is superior to (b) in many ways. others , however, argue that (b) is much better. personally, i would prefer (a) because (a) has more advantages.
