(写作知识)如何写好TopicSentence-高级英语写作-北外网院论坛之家-Powe...[写作知识]如何写好Topic Sentence本帖最后由 Tdengyajiao 于 2010-4-1 15:08 编辑如何写好Topic SentenceImportant Topic Sentence in a PassageThe topic sentence properly used can achieve unity in the paragraph, which indicates the importance of the topic sentence.But what is the topic sentence? The topic sentence is an EMPHATICALLY placed, EXPLICIT statement of the central idea in a paragraph. A good topic sentence in a paragraph will help the writer to focus on his subject, prevent him from introducing unrelated material.How does a topic sentence work then? A topic sentence does two things:1) it lays down the subject2) it puts forth the main idea about the subjectsuppose we are asked to write a paragraph on each of the following subjects:1)Subject: MusicFocus: … is interesting and enjoyable.2)subject: Educationfocus: … is very important in the modern world.3)Subject: DramaFocus: I like …Now we have some topic sentences (which may or may not be good topic sentences—that is the question we are going to discuss below). Clearly each of the topic sentences has two parts: a subject and something said about the subject, we can call it the focus.But are they good topic sentences? Surely not! Take the subject “music” for instance.Ask ourselves, “what do we mean by music? What kind of music? Do we mean symphonic music, chamber music, pop music or other sources? How can we cover so many types of music in one paragraph? Or in a short article of 150 to 200 words?”Focus: … is interesting and enjoyable.Ask ourselves again, “ what do we mean by interesting and enjoyable? Look in a dictionary, interesting—exciting curiosity or attention, enjoyable—agreeable. These two words don’t say very much about music. They simply express approval and they are FAR TOO VAGUE for a good topic sentence.We can find that “Music is interesting and enjoyable” makes a bad topic sentence—bad because the subject is too broad; bad because the focus is vague.(Could you provide a satisfying topic sentence for the subject "music"??)The same is true of each of the following examples:Science fiction is always exciting.Water pollution is a big problem.Life began in a strange way.What makes good topic sentences then? A good topic sentence has a limited subject and a sharp focus. That is, neither too general nor too narrow. A topic sentence that is too general leaves little to be said in the rest of the paragraph. Too general requires much more paragraphs to develop it.Here are some simple, factual statements that are too narrow to require any development or support:1)I live in an apartment.2)Last summer I worked as a gas station attendant.3) Many children watch cartoons on Saturday morning.The following, in contrast, are assertive statements that we can write about in a paragraph1) Living in an apartment has its drawbacks/advantages.2) Working as a gas station attendant was the worst job I ever had last summer.3) Some experts feel that violence in cartoons is bad for children.You can provide better topic sentences than that of the above. Why not have a try?Exercises: revise the following topic sentences to narrow the focus by stressing a controlling idea.Eg. Original: Today many young people have developed a culture of their own.Revision: Long hair, colorful clothing, and new musical forms are part of the new culture of many of today’s young people.Eg. The Santana is a fine car.à Super engine performance and beautiful design make the Santana a find automobile.1) Participation in college sports is beneficial.2) Motion pictures should be censored.3) People could make a better use of their leisure time.4) China should take a stronger role in world affairs.5) Studying a foreign language is useful.6) Online education is becoming more important every year.( No fixed answer to each question. Please provide your answer and let’s have some discussion here)MORE EXPLANATION ABOUT TOPIC SENTENCE-------------------------------------------What is a topic sentence?A topic sentence states the main point of a paragraph: it serves as a mini-thesis for the paragraph. You might think of it as a signpost for your readers—or a headline—something that alerts them to the most important, interpretive points in your essay. When read in sequence, your essay's topic sentences will provide a sketch of the essay's argument. Thus topics sentences help protect your readers from confusion by guiding them through the argument. But topicsentences can also help you to improve your essay by making it easier for you to recognize gaps or weaknesses in your argument.Where do topic sentences go?Topic sentences usually appear at the very beginning of paragraphs. In the following example from Anatomy of Criticism, Northrop Frye establishes the figure of the tragic hero as someone more than human, but less than divine. He backs up his claim with examples of characters from literature, religion and mythology whose tragic stature is a function of their ability to mediate between their fellow human beings and a power that transcends the merely human: The tragic hero is typically on top of the wheel of fortune, half-way between human society on the ground and the something greater in the sky. Prometheus, Adam, and Christ hang between heaven and earth, between a world of paradisal freedom and a world of bondage. Tragic heroes are so much the highest points in their human landscape that they seem the inevitable conductors of the power about them, great trees more likely to be struck by lightning than a clump of grass. Conductors may of course be instruments as well as victims of the divine lightning: Milton's Samson destroys the Philistine temple with himself, and Hamlet nearly exterminates the Danish court in his own fall.The structure of Frye's paragraph is simple yet powerful: the topic sentence makes an abstract point, and the rest of the paragraph elaborates on that point using concrete examples as evidence.Does a topic sentence have to be at the beginning of a paragraph?No, though this is usually the most logical place for it. Sometimes a transitional sentence or two will come before a topic sentence: We found in comedy that the term bomolochos or buffoon need not be restricted to farce, but could be extended to cover comic characters who are primarily entertainers, with the function of increasing or focusing the comic mood. The corresponding contrasting type is the suppliant, the character, often female, who presents a picture of unmitigated helplessness and destitution. Such a figure is pathetic, and pathos, though it seems a gentler and more relaxed mood than tragedy, is even more terrifying. Its basis is the exclusion of an individual from the group; hence it attacks the deepest fear in ourselves that we possess--a fear much deeper than the relativelycosy and sociable bogey of hell. In the suppliant pity and terror are brought to the highest possible pitch of intensity, and the awful consequences of rejecting the suppliant for all concerned is a central theme of Greek tragedy.The context for this passage is an extended discussion of the characteristics of tragedy. In this paragraph, Frye begins by drawing a parallel between the figure of the buffoon in comedy and that of the suppliant in tragedy. His discussion of the buffoon occurred in a earlier section of the chapter, a section devoted to comedy. The first sentence of the current paragraph is transitional: it prepares the way for the topic sentence. The delayed topic sentence contributes to the coherence of Frye's discussion by drawing an explicit connection between key ideas in the book. In essays, the connection is usually between the last paragraph and the current one.Sometimes writers save a topic sentence for the end of a paragraph. You may, for example, occasionally find that giving away your point at the beginning of a paragraph does not allow you to build your argument toward an effective climax.How do I come up with a topic sentence? And what makes a good one? Ask yourself what's going on in your paragraph. Why have you chosen to include the information you have? Why is the paragraph important in the context of your argument? What point are you trying to make?Relating your topic sentences to your thesis can help strengthen the coherence of your essay. If you include a thesis statement in your introduction, then think of incorporating a keyword from that statement into the topic sentence. But you need not be overly explicit when you echo the thesis statement. Better to be subtle rather than heavy-handed. Do not forget that your topic sentence should do more than just establish a connection between your paragraph and your thesis. Use a topic sentence to show how your paragraph contributes to the development of your argument by moving it that one extra step forward. If your topic sentence merely restates your thesis, then either your paragraph is redundant or your topic sentence needs to be reformulated. If several of your topic sentences restate your thesis, even if they do so in different words, then your essay is probably repetitive.Does every paragraph need one?No, but most do. Sometimes a paragraph helps to develop the same point as in the previous paragraph, and so a new topic sentence would be redundant. And sometimes the evidence in your paragraph makes your point so effectively that your topic sentence can remain implicit. But if you are in doubt, it's best to use one.。

英语写作的主题句和段落

英语写作的主题句和段落

在另外一篇作文Part of My Childhood中,作者开头是这样写 的: In my childhood, there were so many things that were worth calling to mind. Some made me happy, some made me excited, and some made me sad. But among them was an unforgettable thing, when I think of it, my good friend Tong Tong will occur to me. 作为汉语读者来说,首先用抒情的笔法奠定一种氛围,然后引导 读者逐渐进入对于往事的回忆,这样的开头是非常自然而且感人 的。但是美国编者显然不这样认为: This is a moving story about friends who have quarreled. It needs a good topic sentence to bring the reader into the feelings and message the writer wants to convey. 这位美国编者提供了这样的开头:
A little girl taught me, and a busful of people, an important lesson about the importance of thinking more of other people than of ourselves. One day I took a very crowded bus to school…
Even when we are very careful in the things we do each day, the risk of loss and injury is always with us. Starting the day with a shower, we risk slipping and falling through the glass door. Riding to work, we risk collision. While we are away from our homes, the risk of fire and burglary is greater. Going to school, our children risk being injured. We also loss through unintentional actions of our own that might injure others. Such events may occur regardless of how careful we may try to be, and they can cost us a lot of money. Rather than taking the chance of being wiped out financially, we transfer some or our risks to others, we buy insurance.

英语段落写作要领

英语段落写作要领




Completeness
A complete paragraph is well-developed. It has neither too little information nor too much. Counting the number of sentences provides only a rough estimate of completeness. The important point is whether the ideas adequately support the topic sentence.
Purpose: Audience
Whenever you do any type of writing, ask yourself, “Who are my readers?” Your readers are your “target audience”. You are writing for them.
summarize the paragraph, and/or
provide a transition to the next paragraph.
Warning!
When summarizing, don’t simply repeat the topic. This can lead to boring pieces of writing. If you can’t think of a meaningful way to summarize the paragraph, just make sure that your last sentence provides a good transition to the next paragraph.

topic sentence英语主题句

topic sentence英语主题句

讲解主题句是一个完整的句子,用以概括、叙述或说明该段落的主旨大意。

每一个段落只能有一个主题,全段的其他文字都应围绕它展开。

主题句通常由两部分组成,即主题(topic) +中心思想(controlling idea)。

中心思想的作用是导向(control) 和制约(limit) 主题。

所谓导向就是规定段落的发展脉络,所谓制约就是限制主题的覆盖范围,两者不可分割。

没有导向,内容就会离题或偏题;没有制约,内容就可能超出一个段落所能容纳的范围。

下面的8个句子都是很漂亮的主题句,其中红色加粗的文字为主题,绿色斜体的文字为中心思想:1. People can avoid burglaries(入室行窃)by taking certainprecautions.( 接下来作者将围绕着“防范措施”展开段落)2. There are several advantages to growing up in a small town.( 接下来作者将围绕着“优点”展开段落)3. Most US universities require a 550 point TOEFL score for anumber of reasons.( 接下来作者将围绕着“原因”展开段落)4. Fixing a flat tire on a bicycle is easy if you follow these steps.( 接下来作者将围绕着“步骤”展开段落)5. There are several enjoyable ways to travel between the US andQueretaro.( 接下来作者将围绕着“方法”展开段落)6. Effective leadership requires specific qualities that anyone candevelop.( 接下来作者将围绕着“品质”展开段落)7. Industrial waste poured into Pearl River has led to dramaticchanges in its ability to support marine life.( 接下来作者将围绕着“变化”展开段落)8. In order to fully explore the wreck(残骸)of the Titanic, scientistsmust address several problems.( 接下来作者将围绕着“问题”展开段落)通过对上面8个主题句的分析可见:段落的主题句对主题的限定主要是通过句中的关键词来实现的。

英语段落写作方法与技巧

英语段落写作方法与技巧

英语段落写作方法与技巧英语段落写作方法与技巧一、构成段落的三大组成部分段落是篇章构成的基本单位之一,段落结构组织得是否合理在很大程度上会影响篇章的整体结构及效果。

典型的英语段落包括一个主题句(topicsentence),若干扩展句(supporting sentences),必要时还有一个结论句(concludingsentence)。

主题句表达的是段落的中心思想,是段落展开的核心,是为整篇文章的中心服务的;而扩展句则具体地描述、说明、阐述或论证主题句体现的中心思想。

结论句往往是用来强调、重申主题或归纳、总结段落大意。

(一)主题句主题句对于段落的重要性是毋庸质疑的,因此,主题句的优劣将直接关系到该段落的写作质量。

好的主题句不仅能够起到限定段落基调的作用,而且起到限定主题范围的作用。

主题句明确地限定了段落内容,这样,习作者在搜集、筛选与主题相关的事实、例证、节时才能够较容易地把握住方向。

而且,主题突出的主题句也能使读者一日了然,有利于读者预测下文内容。

倘若段落的主题句过于笼统或模糊,就无法成为整个段落发展的指南针,就难以合理组织相关材料来进一步摇述、说孵或阐述主题,甚至使整个段落乃至整篇文章结构松散、逻辑不清。

(二)扩展句尽管主题句十分重要,但它不能没有扩展句的支持。

扩展句就是对主题句所陈述的思想观点加以展开分类,提出各种细节或例证以阐述或证明主题的各个方面。

扩展句就像是段落的血肉,“有血有肉”的段落才能感染读者、说服读者,才能达到写作的根本目的。

在主题句确定后,习作者就要开始选择和主题有关的信息和素材。

实质上,针对主题测试每~个所选择素材就是一个分类过程。

有一种常用方法就是句子展开前加以设问,然后解答,即设问一解答(why-because)方法。

(三)结论句有时,为了求得段落结构的整体性,习作者喜欢利用段落的最后一句简要地归纳段落大意,或重申段落主题,做到前后呼应。

写结论句时,要特别注意以下三点:(1)不要突然冒出与该段主题不相关甚至相互矛盾的新话题;(2)不要过于冗长;(3)语气不能太武断,应该委婉些。

Writing The topic sentence (主题句) 英语应用文写作技巧 教学课件

Writing The topic sentence (主题句) 英语应用文写作技巧 教学课件

In some places of Peru and Bolivia, one speaks of the future as “ behind oneself” and the past as “ahead”. It makes foreigners puzzled. But the people in those places will explain it by saying:” If you try to see the past and future with your mind’s eye, which can you see? Obviously, it is the past that we can see, and so it must be ahead of us; and the future, which you cannot see, is of course behind you. Such an explanation suggests that there may be opposite ways of describing the same thing, yet they are both reasonable.
The high school student often have to study deep into the night, and their parents become worried. The parents think that they might get ill if they continue like that, so some of them try to persuade their children to work less and rest more. But most of the boys and the girls do not dare to relax even a little. As a result, the parents have to turn to the teachers for help and ask them to assign less homework.

Here's a piece of content that focuses on training sentence structures for English composition:Training Sentence Structures in English CompositionWhen it comes to writing English compositions, mastering various sentence structures is crucial for creating a well-rounded and engaging piece of writing. Here are some key sentence structures to practice:1. Simple Sentences: These are the building blocks of any composition. They consist of a single subject and predicate.

Example: "The cat slept on the couch, but the dog was restless, and the bird chirped in its cage."5. Parallelism: This is the use of matching grammatical structures to create balance in a sentence. Parallelism canbe used in compound or complex sentences to list similaritems or actions. For example, "I read books, watch movies, and listen to music."6.

They are often introduced by "if," "unless," or "provided that." Example: "If the cat is not on the couch, the dog will sleep there."8. Passive Voice: While the active voice is more common, the passive voice can be used to shift focus from the subject to the object of the sentence. Example: "The couch was slept onby the cat."9. Inversion: Inverting the normal word order can add variety and emphasis to your writing. Example: "Never have I seen a more beautiful sunset."10. Question Sentences: These are used to ask a question and can be structured in various ways, depending on the type of question. Example: "Why did the cat sleep on the couch?"To improve your composition skills, practice writing sentences using these structures. Start with simple sentences and gradually incorporate more complex structures. Remember, variety in sentence structure can make your writing more interesting and engaging to readers.This content is designed to guide students through the process of learning and applying different sentencestructures in their English compositions, which is a fundamental aspect of effective writing.。

英语写作如何撰写简单的句子和段落In English writing, simple sentences and paragraphs are essential for effective communication. They help convey ideas clearly and concisely, making it easier for readers to understand the message being conveyed. In this article, we will explore strategies and techniques for crafting simple sentences and paragraphs in English writing.1. Understanding the Basics of Simple SentencesA simple sentence consists of a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. It expresses a clear idea or statement without unnecessary complexity. To write simple sentences, keep the following tips in mind:1.1 Keep Sentences Short: Long sentences can be confusing and hard to follow. Aim for sentences that are concise and to the point. Break down complex ideas into smaller, simpler sentences if needed.1.2 Use Active Voice: Passive voice can make sentences unnecessarily wordy. Opt for active voice to make your writing more direct and engaging. For example, instead of saying "The cake was eaten by the girl," say "The girl ate the cake."1.3 Avoid Redundancy: Be mindful of repeating information within a sentence. Eliminate unnecessary repetition and choose precise and specific wording. For instance, instead of saying "The bright, sunny weather outside," simply say "The sunny weather."2. Crafting Simple ParagraphsParagraphs are the building blocks of coherent writing. They consist of a group of related sentences that develop a single idea or topic. Follow these guidelines to create simple and well-structured paragraphs:2.1 Topic Sentence: Each paragraph should have a clear topic sentence that introduces the main idea or point you want to convey. The topic sentence sets the tone for the entire paragraph and provides a roadmap for the reader.2.2 Unity and Coherence: Ensure that all sentences within a paragraph are closely connected and support the main idea. Avoid introducing unrelated ideas or random tangents that can confuse the reader.2.3 Transition Words: Use appropriate transition words and phrases to create smooth transitions between sentences and paragraphs. Words like "however," "additionally," and "in conclusion" help maintain the flow of ideas and improve the overall readability.3. Utilizing Sentence Structure TechniquesVarying sentence structure can add depth and interest to your writing. Here are some techniques to employ:3.1 Simple Sentence Structure: As mentioned earlier, simple sentences consist of a subject and a verb. Use them when conveying straightforward ideas. For example, "She ran."3.2 Compound Sentences: Combine two simple sentences using coordinating conjunctions (such as "and," "but," or "so") to create compound sentences. For instance, "She ran, and he followed."3.3 Complex Sentences: Incorporate complex sentences to provide more detailed information or clarify relationships between ideas. Complex sentences contain a dependent clause and an independent clause. For example, "Although she was tired, she kept running."4. Reviewing and EditingAfter writing, take the time to review your work to ensure clarity. Edit for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Consider seeking feedback from others to gain different perspectives and improve your writing.In conclusion, mastering the art of writing simple sentences and paragraphs is crucial for effective English communication. By understanding the basics, crafting well-structured paragraphs, utilizing different sentence structures, and thoroughly reviewing your work, you can enhance your writing skills and create clear, concise, and engaging content.
