what type of essays are we supposed to write?In basic English writing articles can be generally classified into narrative,description,argumentative and practical writings.Exposition:is a way of explaining what,why or how.Eg:my ideal of university life Argumentation:is a way of explaining our viewpoint or persuading the reader to accept out opinion.It is different from exposition,in that it is based on the prerequisite that the writing topic is a controversial on and that the we have a readership who takes a stand against our view.Consequently,we must explain why we hold such a view and at the same time refute those ideas which we think“wrong to ultimately persuade those who are against us to accept our viewpoint.Eg:A good thing or a bad thing(e or a)Advantages and disadvantages of doing a part time job(e)The main difference between my college life and my middle school lifeone way to solve the problem of air pollution in cities(e)travel broaden the mind the best way to stay health saving money or using tomorrows money A.Generally speaking 通常来说 B.there is now doubt that 毫无疑问C.everybody knows that/as is known to all 众所周知D.as the proverb says/as the saying goes 俗话说 E.it is true that 的确F.presently/recently/lately 目前,开篇1,1.开篇 在英语写作中,有一些句型的搭配能力非常强,基本上可以用在各种话题的议论文中,如果能将这些句型掌握并熟练应用一定会使你的英文写作得心应手。一、开头句型 在写议论文时,最简单也最常用的可能就是开门见山法。也就是说直截了当地提出你对这个问题的观点,点出文章的中心思想。I has both advantages and disadvantages既有利又有弊。例如:1Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages 2Living in a city has both advantages and disadvantages 3Com pared with cars,bikes have their advantages and disadvantages举一反三:1Although computers bring people a lot of convenience,they have many disadvantages 2has many advantagesFor example,However,just as every coin has two sides,has its disadvantages(本例将利弊分开讲,转折过渡自然。just as every coin has two sides也很值得背诵。)IIplay(s)an important role part in在中扮演重要角色起重要作用。例如:1Computers play an important role in science and technology 2Computers play a more and more important role in our life Computers play an increasingly important role in our studies 3Education plays an important part in developing our mind 4Addiction to alcohol and drugs play a role in homelessness 举一反三:1Advertisement plays an informative role in our daily life 2In the past,letters played a decisive role in long-distance communicationBut now,telephone,email,fax have taken their place,开篇之二,IIIWith the development of,随着的发展,例如:1With the development of our economy m y,m any Chinese families can afford a car 2With the development of our economy and society,pollution is more and more serious 3With the rapid development of science and technology,people can get a college degree by taking online-courses at home 4With the current social and technological developments,employees with more knowledge and higher academic degrees are needed 举一反三:1With the rapid increase of Chinas population,housing problem is becoming more and more serious 随着中国人口的急剧增加,住房问题越来越突出。2With more and more women entering society,peoples attitude towards women is changing 随着越来越多的妇女走入社会,人们对妇女的态度也在改变。3With the deepening of Chinese reform and opening up,an increasing number of Chinese families can afford a car 随着中国改革开放的深入,越来越多的中国家庭买得起车了。(“越来越多”除了常用的more and more外,还可以用an increasing number of,a growing number of,a significant number of,a great number of等来表达。)本结构看似固定,实则富于变化,只要记住with有“随着”的意思,大家可以根据实际的需要造出更多的句子。在讨论某些有争议性的问题时,就显得有欠缺,因为我们必须在文章的开头引出人们对要讨论的问题的不同看法,然后再表明自己的观点。下面就是专门针对争议性论文的一种句型。IVWhen it comes to,some people think believe that,others argue claim that opposite reverse is trueThere is probably some truth in both arguments statements,but当说到,有些人认为,但另一些人则持相反的观点。这两种观点可能都有点道理,但。when it comes to 引出话题,再用someothers 这个对立的结构引出了两种相反的观点,然后说There is some truth in both表明严谨公正的态度,最后用but很自然地引出了自己的论点。TV,a good thing or bad thingWhen it comes to TV,some people believe that it is extremely valuable,as it provides relaxation,entertainment and education Others argue that it is harmful for it begins to control our lives and deprives people of time to do other activitiesThere is probably some truth in both sidesBut we must realize that television itself is neither good or badIt is the uses to which it is put that determines its value to society,
