[b]3[/b][b][font=宋体].[/font]1[/b][b][font=宋体]关于写主题句的建议[/font] [/b] 1[font=宋体])要写合乎语法的句子[/font] Example 1[font=宋体]:[/font] Two causes of the American Civil War[font=宋体].[/font] [font=宋体]这个句子是个不完整的句子,不合乎语法,因此不能用作主题句。[/font] Example 2[font=宋体]:[/font] There were two causes that led to the American Civil War[font=宋体].[/font] [font=宋体]重写后的句子合乎语法,是个较好的主题句。[/font] 2[font=宋体])要使用限写词限定主题[/font] [font=宋体]为了正确表达观点,好的主题句经常使用关键词或词组,即限制词([/font]controllers[font=宋体])限制这一观点。[/font] Example 3[font=宋体]:[/font] Air travel is more convenient than train for at least three reasons[font=宋体].[/font] [font=宋体]从上例主题句我们得知作者将要写“[/font]air travel[font=宋体]”([/font] topic[font=宋体]),他将要把[/font] [font=宋体]“[/font]train[font=宋体]”([/font] aspect[font=宋体])和“[/font] air travel[font=宋体]”作比较,并且陈述“[/font]reasons[font=宋体]”。由此可见,作者在“[/font]aspect[font=宋体]”(方面)和“[/font]reason[font=宋体]”(原因)两方面限制他的主题。[/font] 3[font=宋体])要注意主题的可写性[/font] [font=宋体]所定的主题不能太笼统,也不能太具体。[/font] Example 4[font=宋体]:[/font] In Hemingway's story [font=宋体]“[/font]Soldier[font=宋体]’[/font]s Home[font=宋体]”,[/font]Krebs tells his mother that he wants no part of God's Kingdom[font=宋体].[/font] [font=宋体]这个句子太具体以至于无东西可写,无法展开段落。[/font] Example 5[font=宋体]:[/font] In Hemingway's story [font=宋体]“[/font]Soldier[font=宋体]’[/font]s Home[font=宋体]”,[/font] Kreb is a lonely[font=宋体],[/font] cynical veteran[font=宋体].[/font] [font=宋体]这个句子可作为主题句,因为可以围绕“[/font]lonely[font=宋体],[/font]cynical[font=宋体]”展开段落。[/font] Example 6[font=宋体]:[/font] Let me tell you something about overpopulation[font=宋体].[/font] [font=宋体]这个句子太笼统,作为一个段落的主题太大,难于驾驭。[/font] Example 7[font=宋体]:[/font] Why has the world population been increasing sorapidly in the last decades[font=宋体]?[/font] [font=宋体]这个句子是个较好的主题句,作者用“[/font]the reasons for overpopulation in the last decades[font=宋体]”,从“原因”([/font]cause[font=宋体])和“时间”([/font]time[font=宋体])两方面限制了主题,能在一个段落内论述。[/font] [b]Exercise 3-1[/b]
