12、.they are said to be color-blinded. 此句将其中一句改成定语从句应该为：Some people who can not distinguish between colors are said to be color-blinded.,英语应用文写作多媒体课件,b. He found the kitchen window open.

32、主题句 (Topic Sentence)主题句在英语段落中起着举足轻重的作用。英语段落的主题句大多位于句首，但也有居于中间或末尾的。主题句位于句首，开段明义，让读者很快就能了解作者要说明的问题。例如：,英语应用文写作多媒体课件,Lets Speak for Ourselves,Most of us depend too much on preprinted greeting cards to express our feelings on special occasion.

39、rce of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family, people dont have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the movies, or the opera.

40、首句是本段的中心（This paragraph is about the convenience and cheapness of television）全段围绕这一中心展开，符合段落的统一性原则。再如：,Sample 1,英语应用文写作多媒体课件,An educated man is a tolerant man. He respects the opinions of his friends. For example, Dr. Reynolds likes old things. He likes old paintings.He enjoys old books. He owns old

41、 furniture. Some people dont like any old thing . They dont like old paintings. They dont enjoy old books. They always buy modern furniture. Dr. Reynolds never criticizes them. He respects peoples differences. He understands human nature. He is a wise and kind man. 这种“主题句加例证” 的写作格式是取得统一性的常用方法。,Sampl

42、e 2,英语应用文写作多媒体课件,2. 段落的连贯性(Coherence)。 一个好的段落除了内容要统一、完整外，还要结构连贯。连贯性指的是段落的结构是否有条理。一个段落内的各句应该有逻辑地、自然地衔接在一起，成为一个完整的整体。只有这样，读者才能跟上作者的思路，明白他讲的意思。达到连贯性的一个重要策略是使用合适的连接词。 例如：,英语应用文写作多媒体课件,Sample 1: The moon has always been an object of interest to human beings. Until the 1960s, getting there was only a drea

43、m. Some thought that people could never reach the moon. Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar(月亮的)surface in 1969. Moon landings have become routine(日常事务) to the general public.,本段没有加连接词，比较下段加连接词的效果。,Example,英语应用文写作多媒体课件,The moon has always been an object of interest to human beings；however until th

44、e 1960s, getting there was only a dream. Although some thought that people could never reach the moon, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar(月亮的)surface in 1969. After that moon landings have become routine(日常事务)to the general public. 经过两段的比较可以看出，加了连接词的段落，段落内句与句之间衔接和谐、条理清晰、层次分明、通顺流畅。可见学会正确使用连接词对段落的协

45、调连贯是非常重要的,英语应用文写作多媒体课件,II. Arrange the following sentences into paragraphs according to their logical order.(将下列各组句子依逻辑顺序排列成意义连贯的段落。) A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land in good condition.

46、ght not to be grown in the same place every year; it is better to have a different crop. All soil needs food.

47、 always across the country. We were like young kids buying our camper and stocking it with all the necessities of life. Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie.

48、nner. To our surprise, we found that we liked the warm southern regions very much, and so we decided to stay here in New Mexico.,英语应用文写作多媒体课件,3.段落的完整性(Completeness) 这里段落的完整性指整个段落在意义上的完整性。段落的中心思想必须得到充分的讨论，一个观点必须得到足够的事实支持，方可进入下一段落。换言之，写了主题句以后还必须回答与之相关的问题。否则，这个段落就是不完整的。例如：,英语应用文写作多媒体课件,Physical work ca

49、n be a useful form of therapy for a mind in turmoil. Work concentrates your thoughts on a concrete task. Besides, it is more useful to workyou produce something rather than more anxiety or depression.,英语应用文写作多媒体课件,It is not always true that a good picture is worth a thousand words. Often writing is
