大學(xué)英語(yǔ)作文的構(gòu)建模式

大學(xué)英語(yǔ)作文的構(gòu)建模式現(xiàn)代化的高樓大廈可以風(fēng)格迥異，卻也都是構(gòu)建于最基本的建筑結(jié)構(gòu)之上。英語(yǔ)寫作也不例外，寫好它，有一套常規(guī)整體構(gòu)建模式。今天我們就奉獻(xiàn)給大家一盤“豐盛的大餐”，花8分鐘認(rèn)真地讀完它，你可能會(huì)提高2－3分，花15分鐘仔細(xì)地研究一番，那么你的大作有可能一不小心就到了高分檔啦！我們首先來(lái)分析段落結(jié)構(gòu)模式。段落是由幾個(gè)彼此銜接的句子組成的。根據(jù)這些句子的功能和作用，我們可將其分為：1．主題句（topicsentence）2．發(fā)展句（developingsentence）3．結(jié)論句（concludingsentence）一個(gè)段落只能有一個(gè)中心思想，代表這個(gè)中心思想的句子叫做主題句。英語(yǔ)的文章非常強(qiáng)調(diào)主題句，它通常位于段首。其他的句子必須緊緊圍繞著主題句展開(kāi)，對(duì)之加以闡明、補(bǔ)充、發(fā)揮、議論，或提供細(xì)節(jié)。這些為主題句服務(wù)的句子叫作發(fā)展句。有時(shí)，主題句也可先在段首一提，最后又在段末重述一遍，使段落中心思想占段落首尾兩個(gè)顯著位置。對(duì)于這樣的段末句，我們稱之為結(jié)論句。一個(gè)段落(尤其是作文的中間段/發(fā)展段)的結(jié)構(gòu)可以圖示如下。例如：Eversinceearlythiscentury，electricityhasbecomeanessentialpartofourmodernlife．Firstofall，withthedevelopmentofmodernindustry，industrialproductionneedsmoreandmoreelectricity．Next，thedevelopmentofmodernagriculturealsoreliesonelectricity．Lastbutnotleast，ourdailylifehasmuchtodowithit．Inaword，itcanbesaidthatinmodernsocietymancannotexistwithoutelectricity．如果我們把這段例文按上圖進(jìn)行分解，其結(jié)構(gòu)便一目了然：下面我們開(kāi)始分析英語(yǔ)作文宏觀結(jié)構(gòu)：英語(yǔ)寫作一般包括一個(gè)開(kāi)頭段、一至兩個(gè)擴(kuò)展段（中間段或發(fā)展段）和一個(gè)結(jié)尾段。開(kāi)頭段和結(jié)尾段一般比擴(kuò)展段短。各種段落的作用、特點(diǎn)和寫作方法如下所示。開(kāi)頭段開(kāi)頭段一定要語(yǔ)言精練，并且直接切入主題。開(kāi)頭段一般不對(duì)主題進(jìn)行深入的探討，具體的論證或敘述應(yīng)該在擴(kuò)展段進(jìn)行。一般在開(kāi)頭段寫四、五句即可。開(kāi)頭段的作用：概括陳述主題，提出觀點(diǎn)或論點(diǎn)，表明寫作意圖?！緦懽饕c(diǎn)】寫開(kāi)頭段時(shí)考生應(yīng)該避免的若干問(wèn)題:開(kāi)頭偏離主題太遠(yuǎn)；2)使用抱歉或埋怨之詞句；3)內(nèi)容不具體，言之無(wú)物；4)使用不言自明的陳述?！痉椒ɡ尅繉懽魑臅r(shí)，好多考生也是覺(jué)得開(kāi)頭難，其實(shí)，寫開(kāi)頭段有多種表達(dá)方法，如主題句法、提問(wèn)法、引語(yǔ)法、數(shù)據(jù)法、背景法、定義法，等等，下面分別講解開(kāi)頭的幾種展開(kāi)方法:主題句法：開(kāi)篇點(diǎn)明主題，用主題句，然后圍繞主題內(nèi)容進(jìn)行發(fā)展。例如：Nowpeoplebecomeincreasinglyawareoftheimportanceofacquiringamasteryofaforeignlanguage.Tothem,theknowledgeofaforeignlanguage,say,English,oftenmeansagoodopportunityforone’scareer,evenapassporttoaprosperousfuture.Manyofthemequatesuccessinlifewiththeabilityofspeakingaforeignlanguage.2.提問(wèn)法：提出有爭(zhēng)議或探討性的具體問(wèn)題，然后加以簡(jiǎn)要回答或展開(kāi)引導(dǎo)性簡(jiǎn)短討論。例如：Whatdoyouwantfromyourwork?Money?Promotions?Interestingchallenges?Continuallearning?Work？basedfriendships?Theopportunitytodevelopyourownideaandpotentials?Thoughweareallindividualsandsoouranswerswilldiffer,allagreethatworkprovidesmorethanmaterialthings.3.引語(yǔ)法：使用引語(yǔ)(useaquotation)：使用一段名人名言，或人們常用的諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)，以確定文章的寫作范圍和方向。例如：“Greatmindsmustbereadynotonlytotaketheopportunity,buttomakethem.”Colton,agreatwriteronceremarked.Butitstillhasaprofoundsignificancenow.Toaperson,inwhoselifetimeopportunitiesarenotmany,tomakeopportunitiesismoreessentialtohissuccess.4.數(shù)據(jù)法：使用具體詳實(shí)的數(shù)字或數(shù)據(jù)，然后作出概括性分析，指明問(wèn)題的癥結(jié)所在。例如：Inthepast5years,therehasbeenamarkeddeclineinthenumberofyoungmarriedcoupleswhowanttohavechildren,coupledwithagrowingtrendtowarddelayedchildbearing.Accordingtoofficialstatistics,in2003,about28percentofmarriedcoupleswithwivesunder35gavenobirthtochildren,comparedwiththe1993levelof8percent.5.背景法：給出背景，描述具體事件的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和發(fā)生背景等.例如：OnceinanewspaperIreadofacrowdofpeoplewhoremainedappallinglyindifferenttothepleaofamother.Asshefailedtooffertherequiredamountofcashasapricetosaveherdrowningson,thewomanatlastwatchedhersonsinktodeath.ThestoryisnotrareinnewspapersandonTV,andthecasualnessanddetachmentourpeoplenowhavedevelopedhasarousednationwideconcern.6.定義法：針對(duì)討論的主題或問(wèn)題加以定義，然后進(jìn)行深入探討。例如：Flexibilityisdefinedasbeingadaptabletochange.Inthecourseofyourlifetime,itisessentialthatyoulearntobendandflexaroundeverynewcircumstance,asrigiditydeprivesyouoftheopportunitytoseenewpossibilities.Paradigmschangeovertime,andsomustyou.Yourcompanymayrestructure,andyouwillhavetosurvive.Yourspousemaychoosetoleavethemarriage,andyouwillhavetocope.Technologywillcontinuetoadvanceandchange,andyoumustconstantlylearnandadaptorriskbecomingadinosaur.Flexibilityallowsyoutobereadyforwhatevercurveliesaheadinlifeinsteadofgettingblindsidedbyit.【他山之石】開(kāi)頭段常用核心句型開(kāi)頭段的常用核心句型，選一選適合你自己的“武器”：1)Thearguermayberightabout...,butheseemstoneglecttomentionthefactthat....2)Contrarytogenerallyacceptedviews,Iarguethat....3)Thereisanelementoftruthinthisargument,butitignoresadeeperandmorebasicfactthat....4)Itistruethat...,butthisisnottosaythat....5)Themain/obviousproblemwiththisargumentisthatitisblindtothebasicfactthat....6)Itwouldbenatural/reasonabletothinkthat...,butitwouldbeabsurdtoclaimthat....7)Inallthediscussionanddebateover...,oneimportantfactisgenerallyoverlooked/neglected.8)Thereisabsolutelynoreasonforustobelievethat....9)Toassumethat...isfarfrombeingproved.10)Acloseinspectionofthisargumentwouldrevealhowflimsy(groundless)itis.11)Onthesurface(Atfirstthought),itmayseemanattractiveidea,butonsecondthought,wefindthat....12)Toomuchemphasisplacedon...mayobscureotherfacts....13)Theproblem/factisthat....14)Howeverlogicalthisargumentmaybe,itonlyskimsthesurfaceoftheproblem.15)AsfarasIamconcerned,Ibelievethat....16)AlthoughIappreciatethat...,Icannotagreewith....17)Thosewhoobjectto...
