  23. Effective Introduction • 恰当的引言（Proper Quotation） • 修辞性疑问句（Rhetorical Question） • 个人经历（Autobiography） • 事实和统计数字（Facts and Statistics） • 驳斥（Refutation）

  24. Body • Sub point 1 80-100 words Logical words Topic sentence Develop • Sub point 2 • Sub point 3

  25. INTRO+主旨句 简单来说，body部分的论证就是横竖结构。 每一个论点(横)都需要有论据（竖）来支撑 每一个论点和论证都要支持主旨句

  26. Paragraph Structure • Topic sentence主题句 在段落中用于概括段落主旨大意 • Supporting sentence 辅助句 在段落中对主题句用来表达，解释，说明或者扩展的句子 • Concluding sentence 结尾句 表示段落结束的句子

  28. 如何写好主题句 • Specific and focused 具体和有针对性 • 能正确引导读者的思路 • 使读者对段落的中心思想和意图, 一目了然

  29. 一个中国学生的例子 • In my childhood, there were so many things that were worth calling to mind. Some made me happy, some made me excited, and some made me sad. But among them was an unforgettable thing, when I think of it, my good friend Tong Tong will occur to me.

  30. 美国编者认为： • This is a moving story about friends who have quarreled. It needs a good topic sentence to bring the reader into the feelings and message the writer wants to convey. 美国编者提供了这样的开头： • One of the most unforgettable experiences of my childhood involves my good friend Tong Tong. It happened when I was eight years old…..

  31. 2.如何写好辅助句 • 也称展开句或推展句 • 段落内容紧密相关，逻辑上具有一致性 • 充分论证主题观点

  32. Bad example：跑题 见讲义

  33. 如何写好结尾句 • 结尾句有3个作用 a.表示一个段落的结束 b.对段落加以总结 c.对主题加以评论，给读者留下深刻印象

  34. Ex. Topic sentence: There are three things that would make me the happiest person in the world. • A happy family life • A satisfying career • Inner peace and security

  35. Concluding Sentence: if I could have a good home life, a challenging job, and inner strength, I would be contented and satisfied with my life. (Leonhard, 1999, p.83)

  36. 中国学生的段落写作问题 • 常常前两句话写的并不是一个段落所讲的内容。因为有些学生还没有形成一种TS完了就是支持句的模式。 • 另外，主题句出现在段落的中间或者没有。 • Topic sentence 不够具体和具有针对性。有些学生虽然大体上表达了段落要讲的意思，但是表达太抽象。

  37. 最严重的是Topic sentence和主旨句没有相关性。也就是说论点和文章中心思想没有关联。 • 各段之间没有承上启下的粘合。学生有时会把论点段很生硬的罗列。

  38. Conclusion 最简单，最基本的------重申&强化

  39. 完美文章的漂亮结尾 三点建议： (1)重现主旨句：synthesize, don’t summarize • 强调你的论点的重要性，而不是单纯的复述或者总结你的Thesis statement.

  40. (2)完善全文—总结前文的分论点。 (3)给读者一个深刻的印象，这一点比较难做到，有三个方法： • 挑战读者的思维 • 展望未来和提出建议 • 提出问题
