在英語寫作中,有一些句型的搭配能力非常強(qiáng),基本上可以用在各種話題的議論文中,如果能將這些句型掌握并熟練應(yīng)用一定會(huì)使你的英文寫作得心應(yīng)手。想不想試一試呢?
一、開頭句型
我們常說,良好的開端等于成功的一半。做事如此,作文也是如此。所以我們頗有必要在作文的開頭花一番心思。
在寫議論文時(shí),你通常以什么樣的方式開頭呢?最簡(jiǎn)單也最常用的可能就是開門見山法。也就是說———直截了當(dāng)?shù)靥岢瞿銓?duì)這個(gè)問題的觀點(diǎn),點(diǎn)出文章的中心思想。
I....has both advantages and disadvantages.……既有利又有弊。例如:
1.Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.

舉一反三:
1.Although computers bring people a lot of convenience,they have many disadvantages.
2....has many advantages.For example,...However,just as every coin has two sides,...has its disadvantages.(本例將利弊分開講,轉(zhuǎn)折過渡自然。just as every coin has two sides也很值得背誦。)

2.Computers play a more and more important role in our life.

本結(jié)構(gòu)看似固定,實(shí)則富于變化,只要記住with有“隨著”的意思,相信大家可以根據(jù)實(shí)際的需要造出更多的句子。
我們已經(jīng)看到,開門見山的開頭使論文直切主題,直白明確地提出了論點(diǎn)。不過在討論某些有爭(zhēng)議性的問題時(shí),就顯得有欠缺,因?yàn)槲覀儽仨氃谖恼碌拈_頭引出人們對(duì)要討論的問題的不同看法,然后再表明自己的觀點(diǎn)。下面就是專門針對(duì)爭(zhēng)議性論文的一種句型。
IV.When it comes to...,some people think /believe that...,others argue /claim that opposite /reverse is true.There is probably some truth in both arguments
。痵tatements,but...當(dāng)說到……,有些人認(rèn)為……,但另一些人則持相反的觀點(diǎn)……。這兩種觀點(diǎn)可能都有點(diǎn)道理,但……。
本結(jié)構(gòu)先用when it comes to ...引出話題,再用some...others...這個(gè)對(duì)立的結(jié)構(gòu)引出了兩種相反的觀點(diǎn),然后說There is some truth in
both...表明嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)公正的態(tài)度,最后用but...很自然地引出了自己的論點(diǎn)。請(qǐng)看下面這個(gè)例子:
TV,a good thing or bad thing
When 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 activities.There is probably some truth in both sides.But we must realize that television itself is neither good or bad.It is the uses to which it is put that determines its value to society.
