另外,要以理服人,自然要多角度全方位地展開辯論。以論述playing too much online games 對teenagers的危害為例,至少應(yīng)從對當(dāng)事人的危害(包括對生理,心理和學(xué)業(yè)的危害),對家庭的危害,對社會的危害三方面來論述。
例As far as I am concerned, teenagers’ playing too much online games do them more harm than good. To begin with, if a teenager always longs to play online games, how can he concentrate on his studies? Would he set aside the online games to do some sports? Day after day, his studies may fall behind, his eyesight may become weaker and he may become obese for the lack of exercise. In addition, a teenager is most likely to spend a lot of money playing online games. Of course it’s a waste of money and also add the economic burden of their parents. Furthermore, a teenager who plays too much online games may become violent, because in the games he is free to kill whoever he doesn’t like. If this habit transfers into life, it will be a threat to the peace of the society. To conclude, teenagers should say NO to online games firmly.
再如,若要論及keep healthy的方式,也應(yīng)是多元化的,應(yīng)從運動,飲食,作息,心態(tài)等方面去提供建議。
例:How can we keep healthy? Here is some advice. Firstly, it is very important for us to take more fruits and vegetables because they provide vitamins, and we have to keep a balanced diet. So we should avoid food with lots of sugar and fat, which is rich in sugar and fat. Secondly, we’d better exercise every day to make our bodies strong. Besides, we have to avoid too much work pressure and always to be optimistic. Last but not least, we have to get rid of those bad habits that damage our health, such as drinking, smoking and staying up.
第三環(huán)節(jié)是小結(jié)綜合,不需太多的語言,一兩句話重申一下論點,能首尾呼應(yīng)足矣!
三、潤色美化,文采不俗
文采,是一篇好文章不可或缺的亮點。有文采的文章如世外桃源,山中瑩雪,讀來令人心曠神怡,通體舒泰。有文采的文章如春日煦風(fēng),寒冬暖陽,讀來令人心弛神往,贊嘆不已。那么如何提高文章的文采呢?盡量多使用下列結(jié)構(gòu),文采自然有效提升:
1.復(fù)雜的主從復(fù)合句,尤其是主語從句,定語從句,同位語從句;
2.同位語;
3.分詞(現(xiàn)在分詞,過去分詞)作狀語,及with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu);
4.虛擬語氣(if 虛擬條件句,but for, otherwise, without等介詞引導(dǎo)的含蓄虛擬條件及一些使用虛擬語氣的固定句型);
5.強調(diào)句(包括It’s……that……句型以do,did, does對謂語動詞的強調(diào));
6.倒裝句;
7.固定短語;固定句型:如:attach great importance to sth, spare no effort to do sth, be of great importance/ significande/benefit etc,
It’s necessary/easy/important/most likely for sb to do sth,
sb/sth make it possible/a rule to do sth
A is to B what C is to D.等等。
8.諺語,成語:Health is the first wealth. No pains, no gains. Failure is the mother of success. More haste, less speed.
Where there is a will, there is a way.等等。試比較下面兩組句子,有無文采,孰優(yōu)孰劣,自是不言而喻。
第一組:平淡無奇 第二組:新穎不俗

……
我堅信,只要學(xué)生按照以上技巧來訓(xùn)練,讀寫任務(wù)的寫作將不再是一件頭痛發(fā)怵的事,而是讓人期待,帶給人很大成就感的賞心樂事。即使是成績平平的學(xué)生,也可以筆下生花,寫出一篇結(jié)構(gòu)合理,層次分明,形神俱備,文采熠熠的好文章,讓自己的學(xué)業(yè)更上層樓。
