1. 开门见山。
在第一段中明确观点之前也可以在观点前先用一两句话来引出观点。这句话可以是介绍一种大家熟知的现象,或是摆出一个现实世界里的事实,还可以引用一位名人的名言警句,让读者在接触你的观点之前心中大概有个印象你要说明的观点与什么相关。例如以下表达方式:
1) recently, the problem of … has aroused people’s concern.
2) internet has been playing an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. it has brought a lot of benefits but has created some serious problems as well.
3) nowadays, (overpopulation) has become a problem we h**e to face.
4) it is commonly believed that… /it is a common belief that…
5) many people insist that…
6) a lot of people seem to think that…
7) talking of …,people opinions vary widely.
8) believe it or not. …
9 it's well known to us that ..
10) as is known to us,..
下面介绍用于提出个人看法的英文表达法,举例如下:
1) in my opinion/view …
2) as far as i’m concerned …
3) as far as i know,4) i think/believe/agree/gather that …
5) i’m certain/sure that …
6) i insist/propose/suggest that …
7) i highly/strongly recommend that …
8) my idea/belief/opinion/view is that …
2. 见好就收。
接下来我们谈谈如何结尾即文章第三段中可以使用哪些表达法。由于文章的第二段内容变化较大几乎没有特别固定的表达法,我们将在下一个部分再来**某些可以用在第二段中的细节表达法。文章的第三段往往是用来完成两个任务,我们在前面的部分中已经讨论过,一是总结第二部分再就是重申第一段观点,是文章显得前后一致整体性强。
二是用一句话重复第一段中所提出的观点,所谓“重复”也并非原原本本照抄一遍,否则倒显得繁荣罗嗦了。至于有什么重复的技巧,下面会有讨论。现在先来看看用什么表达法来总结第二部分,这些表达法必须是据有承上启下功能的语句。
例如:1) as is discussed above, …
2) from what has been discussed above …
3) we h**e know from above that …
4) we can learn from above that …
5) the above points show that …
6) considering the above points/facts, we can conclude that …
7) taking the above factors into consideration, we can draw such a conclusion that …
8) to sum up …
9) in a word …
10) in short …
再来看看如何用最后一句话重申观点总结全文,能够完成这一任务的表达法列举如下:
1) again i’d like to say that …
2) now nothing can be clearer than the point that ..
3) in end, i can agree no more that …
4) therefore, the truth of the matter indeed is that …
3. 砥柱中流。
上面我们讨论了“三段论”式文章的开头和结尾,现在再来看看中间一段有什么值得注意的问题。我们前面已经说过,中间一段由于是文章的主体部分,其讨论的对象一方面随着题目要求的变化千差万别同另一方面写作者使用的写作方法也各有千秋。因此中间这一部分似乎毫无规律可循乐。
在保证第二段内容切题的前提之下,如何在写作时使自己的行文地道优雅也是为参试者争取更多分数的一个重要问题。现在就单来谈谈如何使自己的文章让评卷人读来觉得洋味十足超凡脱俗。这里主要讨论一些用在作文论述阶段(第二段)的比较地道的表达法。
首先还是从大处着手看看在安排文段结构时可以用倒哪些表达法。如果你的论述中分为几个要点,那么可以采取以下表达法来排列这几个要点:
1) first/firstly … secondly … thirdly … lastly …
2) first of all …secondly …thirdly … lastly …
3) above all … then … next … lastly …
4) in the first place …in the second place …in the third place … lastly …
5) number one … number two … number three … lastly …
1) 提出建议:
it is high time that we put an end to the (trend).
only in this way can we…
it must be realized that…
2) 预示后果:
obviously, if we don’t control the problem, the chances are that… will lead us in danger.
no doubt, unless we take effective measures, it is very likely that…
3) 论证
personally, i am standing on the side of …
i sincerely believe that…
in my opinion, it is more advisable to do … than to do….
finally, to speak frankly, there is also a more practical reason why…
according to my study on the matter, i can say that …
4) 给出原因:
this phenomenon exists for a number of reasons. first, …secondly, …thirdly, …
why did… ?for one thing… for another…. perhaps the primary reason is…
i quite agree with the statement that… the reasons are chiefly as follows.
there are three reasons for this.
the reasons for this are as follows.
we h**e good reason to believe that …
5) 列出解决办法或建议采取措施:
here are some suggestions for handling…
the best way to solve the troubles is…
people h**e figured out many ways to solve this problem.
we should take some effective measures.
6) 批判错误观点和做法:
as far as something is concerned, …
it was obvious that…
it may be true that…, but it doesn’t mean that…
7) 表示好处、优点。
it has the following advantages.
it does us a lot of good.
8) 表示坏处、缺点。
it has more disadvantages than advantages.
it does us much harm.
it is no use doing/to
9) 表示重要、必要、困难、方便、可能

10) 表示事实、现状。
